Fantasy premier league – The best 10 attacking defenders

 
Here’s a few words on each.

McAuley:  Until 2 games ago he had just the 1 goal but its a goal and an assist in his last 2 games and looks a constant menace at free kicks and corners

Baines:  I’ve checked abut 3 times to see that he hasn’t got any assists.  One of the few players with regular free kick duties

Terry:  Looks a threat in the air from every set piece

Lovren:   Another player who looks strong at set pieces.  Would have been 2 goals if it weren’t for Lallana’s calf at Old Trafford

Huth:  Hasn’t scored but has good goal scoring history plus good underlying stats.

Coleman:  Only returns have come from the opening day but always getting forward and creating chances

Evra:  Hasn’t been the set piece threat of last year but getting forward and creating chances still

Enrique:  has had strong attacking instincts since his Newcastle days.  Will suit Rodgers wing back position in 3 -5 2

Zabaleta:  Has some attacking issues but a strong overlapping presence especially when Nasri plays on the right and tucks in.

Other fantasy premier league defenders worth mentioning:

Kolarov:  No returns yet but great creating chances and shooting stats will eventually reap rewards if gets a regular run

W Reid:  Out injured now but a handful at set pieces

G Johnson:  Amazingly yet to have a fantasy premier league return but history says will undoubtedly will do

K Walker: Again amazingly no returns to date but will definitely do so.

Ivanovic:  only 1 to date but scored 5 goals last year in fantasy premier league and 3 and 4 in the2 seasons prior to that
