Here’s my rating of the defences in fantasy premier league, the best ones at the top and so on down. Its based on the underlying shot stats and not just purely Clean sheets and goals conceded so should be helpful in predicting future clean sheets.

2. Liverpool – Johnson £6.3m
3. Arsenal – Gibbs £5.4m
