#4 Mason Holgate – Differential
Everton youngster Holgate has been a regular ever since Coleman’s gruesome injury and the young lad hasn’t disappointed. Despite poor returns in the last 3 fixtures, Holgate has performed well at an individual level.
At a price point of £4m, Holgate is a wonderful budget defender who can help you accommodate premium priced players in the forward and midfield category.
Everton host Burnley who have been awful while going forward. The club has scored just 2 goals in their last 5 fixtures and will surely have a tough time against Everton’s backline.
#3 James Collins – Differential
Multiple injuries have plagued the West Ham team which has directly affected their results as the Hammers have won just once in their last 5 games. However, despite all this, a game against Sunderland is just the right time for the London club to get two consecutive results in their way.
Sunderland have not scored a single goal in the last 5 matches and have been woeful while going forward. Collins gets our vote because he’s the most inexpensive way to get into the Hammers defence.
#2 Jan Vertonghen – Long term
Tottenham’s all weather pick continues to be centre back Jan Vertonghen who has been an integral part of Spurs strong defensive unit. The Belgian has been in good form after returning from his injury and is a stellar pick from Tottenham’s defence.
The Lily Whites have kept 3 cleansheets in their last 6 matches and with a sweet run coming up for them, having defensive coverage from Spurs seems like a wise choice for the long run.
