Tsimikas 🔴

Pros ✅
• £3m less than counterpart
• Strong attacking potential - 3 assists in pre-season
• On some set pieces
• Good starting fixtures (nor, BUR, CHE)

Cons ❌
• Milner can also play LB
• Blocks third Liverpool slot
• Robbo expected back GW3/4 the earliest

Amartey 🔵

Pros ✅
• Leicester currently have no other fit CBs
• Impressed v City in the community shield
• Good starting fixtures (WOL, whu, nor)

Cons ❌
• Leicester in the market for a new CB
• Evans expected back around GW4 at the earliest
• No attacking threat

Omobamidele 🔰

Pros ✅
• Has played all pre-season games
• Norwich recently playing with 3 CBs
• Most likely of the 4.0s to maintain his place long term

Cons ❌
• Grant + Hanley strong competition in a back 4
• Poor fixtures in a poor team
• Limited attacking threat

Summary ⤵️

Your choice of a £4.0 DEF is ultimately down to your risk tolerance ‼️

If you want a higher upside, then Tsimikas is your man 🔥

Otherwise, Omobamidele is probably a safer option over a longer timeframe ✅

And Amartey is stuck somewhere in the middle of both 🤷‍♂️

My preference ✔️

As my 4.0 defender will occupy my 3rd slot on the bench, I’ll be going for the upside 🔝

Here are my personal rankings 👇
