Tag Archives: Defender Picks

We’re finally here. Week 11. That big week that so many people have been trying, for so long, to plan for and that they hope will cause their point totals to runneth over. Even with all of the double games, only 1 team has two home games, Dallas. This makes then easy picks for the big 3 (Hedges and Michel …

If any of you are following a strategy similar to the KFC team, you have a couple of defenders who are not playing this week due to the bye for Dallas. If you have Chicago or DC defenders…why? Our best recommendation is to sit your Dallas players; they have two HOME double games next week and then a relatively easy …

If you decided to go defender heavy last week, you should have ended with a good result if you took some of our advice. Kansas City had an amazing game against New York and Dallas continued is streak against Vancouver. If you had the two highest point earners from Dallas and SKC, you got to enjoy 44 points! This week, …

In our Keeper article, we mentioned that we did not recommend bringing in a NY or SKC player if you wanted double game week coverage. That does not extend to out defender picks. There are several defenders that we think are ideal for this week and through Week 11 and beyond. Two of these picks are in our Big 3. …

Last week, a couple of Chicago midfielders made it into the Dream team. While that win was great for Chicago, I think it’s safe to say that that is not something we think will be happening often. With Sporting Kansas City not playing this week, everyone’s top midfield choice will not be playing. Fortunately, Montreal is back this week and …

If you got some great points from your defensive line this week, take a moment to thank Kansas City. If you did not have a great week, it’s understandable. Not many clean sheets and 2 of the 3 were unexpected. If you loaded up on SKC players though, it came with a price. They have a bye this week. Fortunately, …

  There is one word that I can use to sum up defense this past week…. Dallas. If you don’t have someone from FC Dallas on your team right now, you are missing out. They have at least two good options that should be looked at. Other than that, not a lot of clean sheets were earned this week, so …

Just like keepers, defenders had a pretty good this week thanks to several clean sheets. That’s always a good result when your team is worrying about loosing players to International duty. But everyone should be back for week 5, unless injured, and this should help defenses perform more to expectations.  Keep in mind that Columbus and DC are not playing …

  Several teams have taken a beating this week when it comes to their defenders (Thanks WCQ!) and Real Salt Lake leads that list. The loss of defenders could be a big blow to managers this week, but forwards have also left, so some teams may not be a strong on the attack. Checkout the list here! Big 3 Aurélien …

There are not a lot of numbers yet to get differential numbers for defenders yet. But there are some good games coming up that I think will give good results. Keep reading to see who they are.
