Pros β
β’ Β£3m less than counterpart
β’ Strong attacking potential - 3 assists in pre-season
β’ On some set pieces
β’ Good starting fixtures (nor, BUR, CHE)
Cons β
β’ Milner can also play LB
β’ Blocks third Liverpool slot
β’ Robbo expected back GW3/4 the earliest
Amartey π΅
Pros β
β’ Leicester currently have no other fit CBs
β’ Impressed v City in the community shield
β’ Good starting fixtures (WOL, whu, nor)
Cons β
β’ Leicester in the market for a new CB
β’ Evans expected back around GW4 at the earliest
β’ No attacking threat
Omobamidele π°
Pros β
β’ Has played all pre-season games
β’ Norwich recently playing with 3 CBs
β’ Most likely of the 4.0s to maintain his place long term
Cons β
β’ Grant + Hanley strong competition in a back 4
β’ Poor fixtures in a poor team
β’ Limited attacking threat
Summary ‡οΈ
Your choice of a Β£4.0 DEF is ultimately down to your risk tolerance βΌοΈ
If you want a higher upside, then Tsimikas is your man π₯
Otherwise, Omobamidele is probably a safer option over a longer timeframe β
And Amartey is stuck somewhere in the middle of both π€·ββοΈ
My preference βοΈ
As my 4.0 defender will occupy my 3rd slot on the bench, Iβll be going for the upside π
Here are my personal rankings π
