Off the back of a splendid World Cup performance, Harry Maguire is now regarded as a top defender in England. His performances for Leicester have confirmed his ability to defend, and nobody doubts just how good "Slabhead" can be in the future, under the right guidance.

He was hunted by Manchester United during the summer, but the deal ultimately fell through. This was an indication, however, of just how far Maguire has come in recent years.

Maguire is a constant threat from set-pieces, particularly corners. His towering height and sheer strength combine to make him a force to be reckoned with in the box. Defenders struggle to contend with him in aerial duels and he often comes out the winner, having scored is typical rocket-header past the goalkeeper.

Scoring points through both cleansheets and goals is what makes him an asset to any FPL side, and you'd be crazy not to have him in your squad this season. Maguire currently has 36 points to his name.
