There's always an element of concern when you select a centre-back in fantasy football.

Will he concede a lot? Will he get on the score-sheet? Does he get sent off a lot? All burning questions that will be going through the heads of most fantasy managers.

Ming answers all those questions, and on paper, should be a near certainty to be Villa's star performer defensively.

Sure, he saw red once for Villa last season, but only picked up four bookings as well, while he got himself in on the scoring act twice in his half season with the club.

Villa shelled out a huge £26m to land him on a permanent deal this summer, and you get the impression he simply loves it at Villa Park.

With all the attacking talent on show for Villa, they need someone who is going to be their rock and command from the back. Mings is that very player.

While Villa might concede a few goals, Mings will win tackles, headers and get himself on the end of set-pieces at both ends. He's the ideal cheaper option in defence.
