Fantasy Premier League: 6 Players You Need To Sell Now

5. Pablo Zabaleta (23.3% of teams)

As comforting as it can be to have a Manchester City defender in your team, the fact remains that they are expensive, and you need to be assured of a consistent return. In the last 7 matches, Pablo Zabaleta has amassed a total of 11 points - missing 2 games. In that time, Manchester City kept only 1 clean sheet in 7 games; in stark contrast to Sunderland in last place, who kept 3. Defenders usually need to be keeping clean sheets to be kept, and when they're not, they have to be sold. Don't hold on to a defender just because he used to keep clean sheets - you don't keep strikers if they don't score, so apply the same principle.
