Fantasy Premier League Scout: Fantasy Tips for Gameweek 6

Defenders

I haven’t invested a lot in defence, for the simple reason that clean sheets have become very hard to come by and thus I haven’t gone for defenders worth 6 pounds.

McAuley is the first defender that I get into my side. He has been solid at the back and with Tony Pulis’ penchant for tight defensive frame works, I don’t see him or the other members of his defense faltering much.

John Stones would be my second defender. Under Pep Guardiola, he looks like mature defender that has all the tricks in the book to keep the attackers at bay. His speed, positional sense and poise on the ball completely suit the Guardiola style and he has blended into the system quite admirably.

One from Holgate and Kingsley make it to my starting XI. While Holgate has been impressive for Everton, he hasn’t played in the last 2 games and thus that tempts me to go ahead with Kingsley in my starting XI.

But I’ll start with Holgate and keep Kingsley as my first substitute just in case Holgate doesn’t play.

The last defender that I pick is Love. He is just a dummy defender for now(4 pounds) and I won’t be opting for him in the near future.
