Last but not least, the third article in our series focusing on attacking potential takes a look at the defenders. We’ve already ran the rule over the midfielders and forwards in the past couple of days and now the men at the back come under analysis. Highlighting the top 10 performers in terms of threat in our own ICT Index, we also list the top 20 for goal attempts so far and cast an eye over their underlying stats to ascertain their possible Fantasy value going forward:

        it is likely but not assured going forward. i would have him in my team but think chelski can score against them so this isn't the week to do it. he does have the goal and assist threat but its not much of a threat. that goal last week was pure luck bouncing off him.

        Throughout the years his tactical ability is legendary. Played some great stuff with some sides he managed based on his assesment of player's abilities. But lazy is a good point, too lazy to work with some talented Irish players and turn them into an attacking threat. He's said some disrespectful stuff about Irish and British football, doesn't rate either of them. Actually said that Championship and Premier League are similar standard. Bol#*x!
