Several defenders caught the eye in gameweek one and some of the premium options are put under the microscope using the Fix Comparison Matrix.

One of the most popular assets in the game, Shaw, scored the fewest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in the comparison but his numbers were still decent with two attempted assists and one shot.

Alexander-Arnold tops the comparison for chances created (three) and is second for shots (two), underlining why he is the most expensive defender in the game.

Digne took most of Everton’s set-pieces, the Frenchman took two shots and also attempted two assists and looks good value at just 5.5.

Pereira had his only ‘chance created’ converted and took no shots, so the jury remains out on the Portuguese.

Alonso once again displayed what an explosive asset he can be when starting. The Spaniard tops the comparison for shots (three), shots on target (two) and is joint-second for attempted assists (two).
