7. Leighton Baines (Everton) - 23.7% Of Teams Selected
A very popular defender, and with good reason. Baines is a consistent performer who delivers goals, assists, clean sheets, and most importantly, points. More than this, he played every single minute last season, which is pretty impressive! He's undoubtedly expensive, but you are buying consistency, an average of nearly 5 points a game, and a player who plays every single game. Whether you can afford him or not is another question, but he''s certainly worth the hard cash. Price: £7.5m 2012/13 Points: 177 2012/13 Points per Match: 4.66 Points-Per-Pound: 23.6 points per £1m 2012/13 League Appearances: 38 matches (100%) 2012/13 Minutes played: 3420 (90 minutes per game) (100% of minutes played) 2012/13 Goals scored: 5 2012/13 Clean Sheets: 11
