4) Enda Stevens (Sheffield United, 5.0m)
A promoted defender priced more than £4.5m would not usually make my list, but Sheffield’s three-man defence means that Stevens plays as a wing-back and has the license to maraud down the flanks.
He was an ever-present in the Blades defence, featuring for 45 games, registering four goals and six assists. The Blades had the best defensive record in the Championship conceding just 41 goals in 46 games.
They kept 21 clean sheets and 12 of those were at home. In fact, their total of 17 goals conceded at home was the lowest in the Championship and like Burnley, they are likely to rely on a tight backline to secure Premier League survival.
While most of the other Sheffield defenders are recommended only in a rotation strategy for their home games, Stephens can be backed for attacking returns even in difficult fixtures as almost their entire creativity down the left flank comes from him.
