As most top defenders come at a price of 6 or above, we have gone for a defender below 6 who could be a bargain on FPL. Former Italy manager, Antonio Conte, will be Chelsea's manager this season and the Blues are expected to go straight back into the title race under the Italian.
One thing Conte is mainly known for is his defensive tactics. The 47-year-old usually opts for a three-man defense and makes sure that it is solid and stable. Chelsea already have some of the best defenders in the League and John Terry is one of them. The 35-year-old is one of the best defenders England and Chelsea have ever had.

Even though defenders like Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic and Kurt Zouma are there in the Chelsea squad, John Terry is expected to be a constant starter for the Blues. With Conte as their manager, you can surely expect a lot of clean sheets from Chelsea.
Even though Terry is 35 years old he is still an aerial threat and you can also expect a few goals from the Chelsea captain. John Terry is rated at £5.5m on FPL and will be a great pick for your team as he is going to be the pivotal part of a solid Chelsea defense this season.
