Lewis Dunk is an English footballer who plays as a centre-back for Brighton & Hove Albion. He is also the captain of the club. He could be a steal at £4.5m, coming in cheaper than team-mate Shane Duffy despite nearly matching his 2018/19 points total. Brighton has a kind run of fixtures to start the campaign, with their trip to Manchester City the only match in the opening six games that is raged above three in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings.


#3 Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) - Watford

Craig Cathcart is a Northern Irish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Watford. He is one of the safest picks at this price from Watford. Last season, he scored 93 points with three goals and 6 clean sheets. This is an impressive output for someone who, for the most part, sneaked under the radar. This is a defender who outscored the likes of Ryan Bennett and equaled the overall points tally of Jose Holebas -- both of whom are now valued at £5.0m.
