John Terry


John Terry is the best defender in English Premier League and the most expensive defender in Fantasy Premier League costing 8.3 million at present. But he is the most popular player among Fantasy Premier League managers with 51% of the managers having Terry in their team. It is because chelsea doesn't concede much and he is capable of scoring the goals too, usually with his head. He is the only chelsea defender who is sure to start if he is fit.

He is living upto his expectations of the Fantasy Premier League managers and sharing the top spot among defenders with Sol Campbell of Portsmouth, in the points table so far this season. He has scored a goal in the opening day and have 2 assists so far. He missed the game against local rivals Fulham due to back injury and played the full 90 minutes in all other games.

Since Petr Cech is out injured for atleast 6 months, the character of chelsea defence will be in doubt. But with the third-choice keeper Hilario in good form and saving a penalty last week, they were able to keep up the standards they have kept.

Now with chelsea visiting Tottenham this GameWeek, it would be a tough game for the chelsea defenders. Although Tottenham is no way near the form they had last season, they do have a good strike force and creative midfielders to demolish any defence in their day.
