With clean sheets proving hard to come by for many teams, Goal Threat from the back is an ever-crucial facet when eyeing up Fantasy defensive options.

In this latest article for Members, we focus on defenders who have played four or more league games this season, selecting the top ten performers and, when applicable, compare their stats to last term’s in order to ascertain whether there’s been an improvement or a drop in their offensive threat…

      He didn't miss it, the journalist who wrote that one should be ashamed.

      Dzeko and some others who just returned from internationals had a light training session instead of a full one, that was what happened.

      I'd only ever consider an 8pt hit if players coming in have double GWs or I have a glut of injuries in my side. If I was you I'd keep one of the two, and switch either Aguero to RvP/Roon or Ade to Sturridge/Balotelli (or something along those lines)...

          Ah, then you are in a pickle sir. Well Balotelli/Dzeko for Adebayor (with Aguero benched) would give you City cover in what should be a good home win for them (2/3-0). You could also do a lot worse than Bolton's Klasnic...

      I don't see Walters as a good option really as an attacking threat, only West Brom and Wigan have scored fewer goals than Stoke so far this season. Not sure who else you could get though if you wanted to change, maybe Ramsey or M. Petrov?

    Loved the article on vintagengog, thanks for clearing that up and I promise ill stop moaning about sinclair now.
    With that in mind my picks are... Sinclair, Sinclair and Sinclair (Frank, Trevor and Scott).

    Of course I jest, real picks are Long, Crouch and Bothroyd. Thats right... Jay Bothroyd. I'm a bit mental this week.

          Good evening Garg.

          Yes and No. On paper he is, but I think he is our second best defender apart from Cahill and looks a goal threat too. If he starts if Wigan, Ill be thinking about getting him in for Brown.

          I would hang fire and see who starts the game v Wigan. That will give a good indication of Coyles first choice team. I can see big changes for this one.

            Very sound advice, thanks. Will continue to monitor that situation.

            Always had a bit of a soft spot for David Wheater. Used to have him at Middlesboro for 4m and he was a star.

      I like those transfers, good moves in my book. But, there's a lot of love for Suárez lately (myself included, I own him) - understandably, as he's a talent. FPL-wise though he seems to do nowt for 2-3wks then score a couple etc, so you're not mad to be replacing him. He can be quite frustrating...

      RvP always threatens big returns & Sturridge is an absolute bargain. Potential bargain of the season...

      Yay if you're happy with that combination going forward long term, otherwise seems like a short term move that you'll need to use transfers to change later on.

      FWIW I like the Suarez/Adebayor combination better of the two. Both play for good clubs, are unlikely to be rotated, and will get good supply from their midfields - can't say the same for RVP and Sturridge.

      Well thats what I did and lots of others too. Suarez has 4 good weeks ahead starting Sat with the other Manchester coming to town. He had a blinder last year and was MoM from all round play. Will do same again against dodgy utd defence. He starts every game and will be on pens if Gerrard not playing.

    Jones – Enrique – Naylor (Simpson, De Laet)

    Sturridge – RVP – Best

    I know it’s a risk playing both Enrique AND Jones but would rather start them ahead of simpson, correct? Or risk simpson against a slightly deflated spurs without adebayor?

    Already booted out aguero for sturridge for this GW, so that’s a done deal.

    Got no free transfers left, and 4.8 in the bank….any suggestions for a 4 point hit or leave it as it is and bank the free transfer? However, was thinking meireles > Petrov leaving me enough to upgrade Best to Suarez next GW.

    Any help/advice would be great. Thanks. 🙂

      Keep Cleverly, he'll be back this week or next. Do Arteta> BAle or Ramsey. If ya do BAle then do MOses> BAnnan next week. If ya do Ramsey then do Moses>Parker next week
