Fantasy Premier League: 7 best attack minded defenders this season

Leicester City v Liverpool FC - Premier League
Mane is the only player anywhere close to the high scoring defenders

#2 Hector Bellerin (£5.5) - Arsenal

Cardiff City v Arsenal FC - Premier League
Bellerin a worthy risk to take?

Logic would currently tell you to stay away from the Arsenal defence as they are letting in goals left right and centre. Rightly so the Spanish right-back has scored only 7 points in total after his team shipped in 8 goals in 4 matches. This, however, does not take away take the fact that Bellerin offers plenty of attacking threat when going forward.

Bellerin has made many attempts to cross from the right wing which was especially evident from the game against Chelsea and he also managed to grab an assist against West Ham.

The upcoming fixtures for Arsenal certainly seem favourable and might just propel a bit of defensive stability from the side. Bellerin could meanwhile offer a good deal of attacking returns- something that he has done very well in the past seasons. Around 12% of managers have given Bellerin a place in their side at the time of writing. It could just turn out to be a good punt in the weeks to come.
