Here’s a table to help with your defensive picks for your Telegraph fantasy football World Cup 2014 team.  There’s a key below it to explain the stats although no narrative as I’m up against it time wise.

Telegraph fantasy football World Cup tips – defensive options

The telegraph format allows you to make transfers between matches so that is a safeguard against selection although it does mean you use 1 of your 40 transfers if you get a selection wrong.  Here’s though what I think are the premium and budget offers in defence.  I’ve seperated Germany and Argentina at the bottom, who although are big favourites have had some defensive issues in qualifying.  Hopefully thats enough information to take your own view.
