Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 22: Goalkeepers and Defenders

Aleksandar Kolarov set up the opening goal in Manchester City’s 2-0 win at Newcastle United, and earned himself three bonus points as he claimed a nifty 12-point haul.

This follows his 9-point return from the 3-2 win at Swansea City, in which he scored the winner – as such, we daresay the Serbian left-back is looking increasingly essential at just £5.3m.

City are at home to struggling Cardiff City this weekend, so another clean sheet aligned with a goal and/or assist isn’t out of the question.

Though we write this in advance of their trip to Aston Villa tonight, Arsenal’s defensive mojo seems to have returned in recent weeks – another shut-out therefore looks likely as they host a Fulham side in wretched form.

Bacary Sagna and Laurent Koscielny both offer good value for money at just £5.6m apiece, while deputy left-back Nacho Monreal can be had for just £5.1m.

Everton’s Leighton Baines is back in business, the top-rated defender of last season claiming an assist and a clean sheet in the 2-0 win at home to Norwich City.

He may cost a whopping £7.4m, but his returns of 11 and 12 points from the last two games show just how valuable he can be.

This weekend takes the high-flying Toffees to West Bromwich Albion, by no means an easy game but a decent opportunity nonetheless for points-accumulating.

Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc kept an impressive number of clean sheets in the early stages of the season and he managed another in his first game back from an injury-enforced absence, a 1-0 win at home to West Brom.

If this is indicative of performances to come then the Pole will be a bargain at £4.7m, not to mention the rest of Saints’ reasonably priced back line.

Our 0-0 tip for the weekend has to be Norwich City v Hull City, so you might want to avail of the bargains on offer between those two sides.
