John Lundstram is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Sheffield United. He has made a strong case to be considered for opening squads. He has been named in starting XI in four of Sheffield United's last five pre-season games. The most attractive part is that he has featured in a central midfield role for the Sheffield United. He could appeal to FPL managers on the lookout for the next Aaron Wan-Bissaka.


#1 Issa Diop (£4.5m) - West Ham United

Issa Diop is a French footballer who plays as a centre-back for West Ham United. The 6-foot-4 centre-back scored 87 points with one goal and seven clean sheets adding to the tally. West Ham has a very favourable run of fixtures till GW12. They will be facing only two top-six sides until November 2019.

As he is a sure starter for West Ham, he'll provide a great opportunity for fantasy managers to secure West Ham's clean sheets points. If someone is looking for a rotational defender, he can be used along with Brighton and Wolves defenders. By rotating between West Ham and Wolves defenders, fantasy managers can easily get through without facing a top-six side. If someone is looking for a nailed-on budget-friendly West Ham defender, he's the best option.
