Fantasy Premier League Tips: 5 bargain defenders this season

Ent
Brighton's new defender could be an interesting prospect to consider

Simon Francis - £4.5m

AFC Bournemouth v Middlesbrough - Premier League
Simon Franc once again has a crucial part to play

Simon Francis played a big role in helping Bournemouth achieve a top 10 Premier League finish last season. The player contributed to 10 clean sheets!

Priced at just £4.5m, the player is considered as one of the most cost-effective starter in the club's backline.

With the Cherries signing Asmir Begovic from Chelsea this summer, their defence gets stronger and the FPL managers could be tempted to sign Francis.

The player has missed just 5 league games in the last 2 seasons since the Cherries started playing in the Premier League.

Francis may not have scored any goals and might not have any assist to his name, but that does not mean he cannot be selected in your FPL team.
