6. Per Mertesacker (Arsenal) - 24.55 points per £1m
Another top defender here, and the best pound-per-point buy as a defender. Per Mertesacker had a consistent season, and 3 goals and 14 clean sheets meant an impressive 135 Fantasy Premier League points for the German in his seconf season at Arsenal. He was more than 40 points ahead of the next-best Arsenal defender (Kieran Gibbs) in an injury-ridden season for the Arsenal defence. The 28-year-old is certain to play a central role for the Gunners in 2013-14, and at £5.5 million, he's actually cheaper than 6 Chelsea defenders! With more than a quarter of teams already containing the German, this little gem of value hasn't gone unnoticed. 2013-14 Opening Price - £5.5 million2012-13 Overall Points - 135
