Sun Dream Team – “ones to watch” – transfer window 1 – GKs & Defs

Sun Dream Team

Here’s my pick of the Sun Dream Team goalkeepers and defenders for your transfer window 1 decisions.I’ve given you the following information to assist you in the decision

1.  The additional European competition

2.  Sun Dream Team cost

3.  The points in Sun Dream Team t date

4.  The amount of 7+ ratings compared to games

5.  The amount of Sun Dream Team Star Man awards

6.  The fixture ease ranking from my recent Sun Dream Team fixture article (link at bottom of page)

 

GKs

Lloris – Europa League

  • cost:  £4.0m.  Points:  27.    7+Star man rating.  4/4.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  1

A good bet to play most of the games given the only rotation option is Brad Friedel.  A solid defence with good fixtures to come.

Mignolet

  • cost:  £3.0m.  Points:  23.    7+Star man rating.  2/4.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  8

Hasn’t got the additional games but does have value on his side and good fixtures plus 3 clean sheets on the bounce other than that.

Defenders

Rose – Europa league

  • cost:  £2.5m.  Points:  22.    7+Star man rating.  1/4.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  1

Great value in a solid defence with the best fixture rating.  BAE to QPR means the only cover is Naughton to LB and Vertonghen who will be the 1st choice CB.

Gibbs – Champions league

  • cost:  £3.5m.  Points:  27.    7+Star man rating.  3/5.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  4

All the Arsenal defenders have cover but Gibbs seems to be liked by the rating masters and is the cheapest first choice with Sagna.  Good defence and good fixtures

Ivanovic – Champions League

  • cost:  £6.5m.  Points:  17.    7+Star man rating.  1/3.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  5

Very expensive and will be the subject of rotation but has great attacking potential and the defence looks very solid. If you’re willing to gamble on lower value in the attacking positions this may be a big money buy that gets you decent returns.

Zabaleta – Champions League  

  • cost:  £5.5.0m.  Points: 19.    7+Star man rating.  2/3.     Star man awards:  1     fixture ranking:  6

Again another expensive option and although lots of fixtures the premier league games could be easier.  Subject to rotation but Richards has some time before hes match fit.  An option if you’re planning on some value purchases in the attacking areas.

Enrique 

  • cost:  £3.5m.  Points:  21.    7+Star man rating.  2/3.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  8

If for some reason you don’t want Mignolet, this is the best option in the defence for value.

Coleman

  • cost:  £3.0m.  Points:  23.    7+Star man rating.  3/4.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  13

Fixtures could be better but good attacking potential and seems to be liked by the raters.

Fonte

  • cost:  £1.0m.  Points:  19.    7+Star man rating.  3/4.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  7

Excellent budget option.  Has some gametime risk with Yoshida and Hooiveld but form seems good enough to hold his place.  Much improced defence thanks to the new manager and good fixtures.  Also has good attacking potential.

C Davies

  • cost:  £1.0m.  Points:  8.    7+Star man rating.  2/3.     Star man awards:  0     fixture ranking:  9

Another budget option which has good all round fixtures to come.  Defence has shown typical Steve Bruce resilience

 

Thats it.  Midfield and Forwards next
