Defenders

Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Ben Davies has ensured that the faithful Tottenham fans do not miss injured left back Danny Rose

4. Ben Davies: Long Term

A no brainer for this week, Tottenham Hotspur left back Ben Davies has been in top form for the Lilywhites. The player is not only a budget option to get from the Spurs backline, which has been a resolute force till now but has also provided great attacking returns.

The player also has the tendency to cross well and deliver sweet corners which are helpful when you've a man like Harry Kane leading the line.

With an average of 8 points per game, Davies is your best bet for the coming gameweek. Tottenham have a run of favourable fixtures and a game against Swansea this week should see them come out unscathed.

3. Ryan Bertrand: Long Term

Bertrand has the ability to rush forward and deliver those lethal balls that could end up at the back of the net. The Englishman's point potential has taken a beating due to the fact that Saints have not been very impressive in front of the goal but the clean sheet potential continues to be there.

The Southampton fullback is a great option to have in your backline primarily because the club has great fixtures coming their way. A game against a struggling Crystal Palace seems to be the right choice considering the fact that the Londoners have not scored a single goal till now.

2. Trent Alexander-Arnold: Differential

Watford v Liverpool - Premier League
The teenager is extremely good on set pieces

The youngster who is now starting instead of Clyne due to the latter's injury is a great budget option. Liverpool have historically not been the most stable team defensively, but, faith in the player is advised, due to the teenager's ability to generate attacking returns.

The player has shown strong set piece skills and scored a lovely free kick against Hoffenheim in the Champions League qualifiers.

Liverpool play Burnley at Anfield and there is no doubt that after a brutal humiliation at the hands of Manchester City, Klopp and his men will not leave much room for the Burnley attackers who have shown strong potential this season.
