5. Pablo Zabaleta
Team: Manchester City Value: £6.3 million Points In GW3: 12 The Manchester City fullback has been one of the highest-scoring defenders in Fantasy Football since Game Week 1, keeping two clean sheets and providing the same number of assists in his first three games. Those who had the Argentine international in prior weeks reaped the rewards as the 28-year-old bagged a combined total of 23 points. And, with City travelling to unfancied Stoke at the weekend, there's absolutely no reason to suggest he won't enjoy another similarly-stellar Game Week this time out, either. A proud member of the Fantasy Football Dream Team, Zabaleta is a good shout as his tenacious style of play means he's nearly always in the thick of the action. He's also a free-kick specialist, which makes him something of a consistent goal threat. Next game: Stoke (A)
