My Blades friend says Lundstrum not likely to get many minutes.
Rico seems good for those first 2 fixtures and Gibson as a chance

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
Chambers will most likely start our 1st 4 games until Holding comes back. Please remember we have our annual 5-1 hiding at Anfield took forward too plus Spurs in those 4 games also. As someone who watches our wretched defence most weeks I'd pick someone from Norwich over any of them.

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
Lundstrum has always been a bench warmer, but he had a decent pre-season at CM, he might get the odd game there, bit of a useful utility player to have on the bench.I Am Ville wrote: ↑05 Aug 2019, 22:56 My Blades friend says Lundstrum not likely to get many minutes.

Martin Kelly (4.0) at CP a good pick?

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
Not after the signing of Gary Cahill.
It surprises me a little what some people expect from a 4.0m likely 3rd bencher. AWB was most definately the exception; not the rule. If I get a 4.0m 3rd bencher who comes on for a 1pt thats good enough for me. Anything more is a bonus.

How will Leicester start off in central defence? Guessing Evans & Söyüncü, but no idea really!

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
Heh, pretty much my thoughts exactly. I can only imagine that those considering the likes of Chambers and Holding are doing so under the assumption that Arsenal are still being managed by George Graham.Tel The Gooner wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 08:48 As someone who watches our wretched defence most weeks I'd pick someone from Norwich over any of them.

Someone please give me some faith to start with KWP. Actually the more I think, its too punty. He might start GW1 but beyond that I have no idea.

Kyle Walker Peters. Aurier could be leaving but Spurs in the market for a new right back, possibly from Napoli.

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
I’ve gone with Rico and balbuena
Theory is Rico likely to start gw1 with decent fixture so can be 1st sub . Balbuena has city away first game but after that should be a good 1st sub

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
I wouldn't say likely; Daniels played in the last friendly and I'd think he is marginally more likely to play and there is also a chance of Kelly starting.
40% chance of Rico starting at best.

Foyth is ahead of KWP is my understanding, he's an argie like pochetino.
Daniels is nailed on when fully fit, coming back from a serious knee injury

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
So for the 4.0 options it looks like Rico is in a battle for the shirt with Daniels (with Smith switching sides also an option). Lundstram has started all recent friendlies for Sheff Utd and played 60 minutes plus as a defensive midfielder. Rico has better fixtures but Lundstram perhaps looks the safer bet for a longer run unless the Blades bring in a new face in midfield (they have been linked to Daniel Amartey of Leicester in recent days). Lundstram is not a popular choice amongst the Sheff Utd fans going off their forums though.

Whether he is worth holding beyond GW3 is a different question and does buy time.....

Re: 4.0-5.0 Defenders
Anyone thinking of adding Gary Cahill to his team. He came in at 4.5m.
Not only should Palace be tighter at the back, but he could also chip in with some goals on set pieces.
My only concern at the beginning of the season is whether he is fit enough without a club over the summer.
