Fantasy Premier League 2016 Tips: 10 Defenders You MUST Consider
2. Cedric Soares - 5.0 Million
It will take a big player to replace the gap left by Nathaniel Clyne but Cedric Soares will prove he is up to the task. Signed from Sporting Lisbon for £4.7 Million the defender is known for his attacking ability and is a text-book industrious full-back who can bomb up and down the pitch. The Saints boasted the second best defensive record in the league last year (behind Chelsea). They only let 33 goals slip past them and with Soares being cheaper than the big guns from last season, you would be getting a very good talent for a less than premium price.
