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:
begovic jussi
demel baines cole a.williams skrtel
yaya michu cazorla pienaar fellaini
ba tevez fletcher

nthng in the bankOpen Controls

Open Controls
Insigne goal. That boy will be great
Sweden 0 Italy 1Open Controls
Dawson is playing for the england U21's, that cant be the spurs Dawson surely. I always thought he was older
Open ControlsThx
Open Controls
Rumours are Trap might have already lost his job? Glad to see Brady and Wilson starting...Why Ciaran Clark is not in the team over O'Dea is a mystery.
Open Controls
wonder what liam brady thinks of this manu kid. reckon a big part of him hopes he don't live up to the hype. i wud, were i him. for a player as good as brady, not to be the best talent of his name to have sprouted in this desert wud be a kick in the balls.
Open ControlsHaha, how you doin Megatron? This guy Brady looks pretty good at corners...good left foot...long term replacement for Duffer maybe?
Open Controls
Wasnt fellaini supposed to have a fitness check up with everton on monday? Can't afford a drop and will be quite annoyed if i get rid and he ends up in the startling line up on sat.
Open ControlsBaines//Cole//Rafael//Kolarov//Caulker
🙂Open ControlsCaulker is 4.7!!!
Open Controlsfpl...
Open Controls
Ivanovic over Cloe.
Open ControlsCant afford that, and the article above mysteriously suggests Cole over Ivan
Open Controls
Weeeeellllllllllll............
Open Controls
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.
Open Controls
Still palying around with the team? What have you come up with today? 😛
Open ControlsNot much, just thinking I could have Caulker instead of Davies. But I wont because it is a silly move really
Open ControlsYes it is. What's your team gonna be? The full 15?
Open Controls
From NEXT week, which is the best combination:
A) Bale, Cazorla, Lambert
B) Bale, Michu, Ba
C) Cazorla., Michu, BaOpen Controls
A imo
Open Controls
The one with no Michu in it i.e A.
Open Controls
Belgium XI: Courtois; Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Kompany, Vertonghen; Witsel, De Bruyne Dembele; Benteke, Chadli y Mertens
No Hazard. Jelavic on the bench for Croatia too.Open ControlsBig game - does that mean they think Hazard is off-form, or was his substitution in the last game more ominous than that?
Open Controls
Hazard was subbed early in the first game. Seems odd.
Open Controls
Ah, nice. Mirallas on the bench as well?
Open ControlsThanks, Demi.
Open Controls
Ooh... Silva on -99% on Fiso.
Look after the pennies....Open Controls
Keeping an eye on that too, I got a bale vs Silva dilemma next week.
Open ControlsFor me it will probably be Bale/or Dempsey. Mostly because I still got Tevez and I really dont need to get rid of him, unless something changes for next week.
Open Controls
silva is 100% coming in for me next week. will wait til after west brom game which i dont think will be very easy
Open Controls
Can we get an early gw 8 Captain Poll started?
I think I'm going either Aguero, Baines or BerbsOpen Controls
Germany: Neuer - Boateng, Mertesacker, Badstuber, Lahm - Kroos, Schweinsteiger - T. Müller, Özil, Reus - Klose
Open ControlsEngland: Hart; Johnson, Jagielka, Lescott, Cole; Gerrard, Carrick; Milner, Rooney, Cleverley; Defoe.
Open Controls
How's that gonna line up?
Open ControlsRVP had a rest last match. Roon plays both... hmmm...
Open Controls
Open Controls
Both in terms of their respective scoring outcome and their prices, who would be better for the next 5 weeks??
Aguero or Berbatov??
Have no City or FUL cover.
Advice welcome.
Ta.Open Controls
Aguero !!!
That is an unfair comparison thoughOpen Controls
Berbatov will outscore everyone himself included!
Open Controls
Parm, you still around?
Open Controlsjust thinking about abandoning project Barfa. The main reason being that getting Morrison, Lallana or Sterling instead allows me to get Bale in for Adam Johnson. Sterling then allows me possibly get Barfa for Nolan in GW10 and rotate Kebe and Sterling as 4th mid.
Open Controls
Please Rate my W/C team Begovic - Jaaskelainen - Rafael - Baines - Jenkinson - McAuley - Wisdom - Silva - Bale - Santi Cazorla - Sterling - Cleverley - Ba - Jelavic - Suarez 🙂
Open Controls
couldn't say no to wales odds of 11-1....
Open Controls
I want to see a Germany-Belgium final in 2014.
Open ControlsBrazil are Spain are too good for that to happen. Argentina are finding form and have a strikeforce of Messi, Aguero and Tevez!!
Open Controls
All going down in the U21's, but England have won.
Open Controls
It's all kicking off in the u-21 england game
Serbian players and fans attacking england players on the pitch
steve wiggly fighting 5 serbian players and fists flying, serbian fans on the pitch with monkey actions to danny rose in his faceOpen Controlsdanny rose now sent off
Open Controls
Kicking the ball away after the match. Prob as he did it toward the fans as they we're 'monkey chanting'. I couldn't hear.
Open Controls
Bemba Da makes it sounds worse than it is as per usual
Open ControlsWhat the hell happened? I don't have access to the game.
Open ControlsEngland scored after keeper came up in 94th min. We won game 1-0 (we were already 1-0 up from first leg) Something must have happened then it was just Serbians throwing punches and slaps at everyone in England kit including bench and apparentely FA officials.
Open Controls
ESPN are showing it if you can watch. Replays likely.

Scenes at the end of the U21 game
Open Controls
One thing I'll say in Trap's favour is he's slowly beginning to pick the right team and on Friday we did try to play a good football.
If the latter continues tonight and for the future, I'll support him.Open Controls
You are joking right? Once we went 1-0 down the players did not know what to do. There was no plan b. Only reason there have been any changes to the team is due to injuries. I can't wait for Trap to go, and then I might watch a few more of our games 🙂
Open Controls
What are the rules again? Unquestioning support of your team and players, but not your manager?
Open ControlsErm, support your country...... Wanting Trap out is in the best interests of my country, Don't embarrass yourself. End credits.
Open ControlsWould a 'you don't know what your doing' chant be OK?
Open ControlsAssuming the manager's decisions indicated that. Not one for say getting to the quarter finals of a world cup.
Open ControlsWhat about expressing discontent at failing to beat Algeria?
Open ControlsThe right team played. Nothing more the manager could've done. Can't blame the team for playing their best.
Open ControlsThat was not the best that team could have played. Rooney is twice the player he was in that match.
Open Controls
Yeah but not MLS Keane instead of PL Long and Long playing really well. Too little too late to be giving us an attacking look.He's cancelled his Dublin press conference tomorrow, heading straight to Milan. Start the rumours, Coyle, McCarthy and God knows who else will be in the frame.
Open Controls
His tactical ability is limited, doesn't bother his lazy, overpaid, arrogant hole to go watch players perform at club level, will not pick up the phone to speak to players, can't be arsed to improve his English, get rid.
Open ControlsThroughout 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!
Open Controls
Totally against the grain of most posters..heavily into the Arsenal/Norwich and Liverpool/Reading fixtures this weekend.....Looking as .....Jaas
Mertasacker...Jenkinson...Gallas
Santi....Gerrard...Mata...Michu
Torres... .Jelavic....Suarez
Then time for a change ready for City's nice run...Torres/Mata out...Silva/Teves inOpen Controls
Jelavic dosn't start
good for fpl but i am pissedOpen Controls
You don't need him for this fixture anyway. You'll see.
Open Controlsdo you think who is better? Jelly or Mandzukic?
Open ControlsMandzukic is way better overal but jelavic is top finissher
Open Controls
