#3 Gary Cahill (Chelsea)
Chelsea has bounced back from an unsettling start to the season and seems to have also figured out their defensive madness. Chelsea has maintained a clean defensive record for the past four games and Conte’s men are expected to continue their order against mid-table teams. They travel to Middlesbrough who is struggling with their attack after hosting Everton at Stamford Bridge.
After much criticism in the early season, Gary Cahill appears to have hit it off in establishing a robust centre-back combination with David Luiz. Furthermore, John Terry’s return from injury will be another news that adds to believing in Conte’s affinity for strong defences. Terry might be left out, but a strong bench will only motivate the three defenders settled in the new formation to explore their understanding beyond present form.
Priced at £5.9m and one of the defenders offering potential goal scoring threat, Gary Cahill is an option that could also be considered by managers seeking a replacement for injured defenders like Toby Alderweireld or Eric Bailly.
Upcoming fixtures: Everton (H), Middlesbrough (A), Tottenham Hotspur (H)
