I'll be looking at my top 5 Semi premium defenders who are cheaper than the likes of Trent and Robbo but have the ability to match them during the course of the season
Make sure you show some love if you find it useful 👍🏻
A stat i stumbled upon that only 3 Semi premium defenders scored 150+ FPL points since 2015/16 season Matt Doherty, Aaron Cresswell and Lucas Digne
It is key to identify such a player every season in order to have a good FPL season
1. John Stones (£5.5m)
The defenders of the best defence in the league are massively overlooked, We would tell that by the ownership (11.4%), He (4) was 2nd to only Dunk (5) for most goals scored by a CB last season
Alongside keeping 14 clean sheet in just 22 starts
2. Aaron Cresswell (£5.5m)
One of the best FPL assets in recent times and often overlooked, Cresswell was the highest assist maker in the league last season (11), He can play as a LB in a back 4 and as a LCB in a back 5 is on set pieces and earned 21 bonus points last season...
Only Trent had more bonus points amongst defenders last season than Cresswell
3. Reece James (£5.5m)
I expect big things from Chelsea this season in terms of their defence in Tuchel's first full season in the PL, Reece James is someone i am looking at as a defensive options who should be fairly nailed ahead of Azpilicueta
James scored a goal assisted...
2 and created 45 chances in 25 starts in PL last season while keeping 9 clean sheets in that process, With an ownership of only 10% he is someone i am looking at as i tip Chelsea to be the best defence in the league this season
4. Olek Zinchenko (£5.5m)
A city left back for less than £6m who could start most games as Pep hinted us before the pre season kicked off, Zinchenko started only 15 games last season keeping clean sheet (8) in more than 50% of those games
He might not offer as much...
In attack and the attacking numbers as the above mentioned defenders but at £5.5m you could expect clean sheet in more than 50-60% of the games he starts
5. Lucas Digne (£5.5m)
I'm really not that convinced about him at the moment with the new manager in-charge, But he is one of the best crossers of the ball is on some set pieces and corners and Sigurdsson potentially and rumours that James Rodriguez could leave...
I wouldn't be surprised if he is on all the set pieces and maybe penalties as well which instantly makes him a must have from the start
