10. Leighton Baines (Everton) - 23.6 points per £1m
The Evertonian defender is a noted free-kick specialist, and he scored 5 goals and 7 assists last year to add to 11 clean sheets. He finished as the highest defensive point-scorer, with 177 points. He's also a very consistent performer, and is well worth the price tag of £7.5 million. Whether you can justify spending so much on a defender is another question entirely, but he's definitely value-for-money, and an extremely popular choice at the moment.
With new manager Roberto Martinez in place at Everton, there are doubts as to who will start this season, but with no new signings in defence, it's likely to be another busy season for the 28-year-old.
