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:
So, what do we think about the Goal Threat articles? Interesting stat geek stuff, no doubt - but fantasy points are about more than goals - assists, BPs etc. I'd rather have seen analysis of Attacking Threat for DEFs - the picture is just incomplete without that. Thoughts?

BBC Boffin:
"The Regulations Article 19.7 says that if game cannot be played, the game can be arranged for the next day. If that is still not possible, the game could even be played the day after if both associations agree.
If the match can't be played on third day, expenses incurred by the visiting association [in this case England] shall be split between the two associations.
The Fifa Organising Committee would then take any other necessary decisions regarding a replay."Open Controls

V true, then you have a situation where both sides have to be in agreement as regards the rescheduled date, they should be told when it will be and get on with it.
