My GW8 Fantasy Squad Reveal Goalkeeper James Trafford (Leeds) - 3* in FootballCoin - No longer in anyone's shadow, James Trafford is currently in charge of the third-best defence in the EPL.
Playing in Sunderland right now could help to improve upon that existing record. Defenders Jannick Shuster (Brentford) - 1* and Free in FootballCoin - Remember Brentford's brilliant scouting system.
Jannick Shuster is adjusting well to life in the Premier League. Against the ultra-defensive, 5-4-1-playing Hull, he will do well.
Luka Vuskovic (Brighton) - 2* and Free w/lease in FootballCoin - Vuskovic was simply superb against Crystal Palace. He's settled into the Premier League nicely.
With this kind of form, he can have a strong EPL career for years. Calvin Bassey Ughelumba (Fulham) - 2* and Free w/lease in FootballCoin - Fulham's form is turning a corner.
As far as I can tell, Bassey is becoming an indispensable part of the defensive setup. Antonio Silva (Bournemouth) - 2* and Free w/lease in FootballCoin - Let's be honest!
At this stage of the season, defenders, if they're any good, are relishing the opportunity to come up against Manchester United's attackers. Oliver Bascagli (Brighton) - 2* and Free w/lease in FootballCoin - He's a mature left-back with a great eye for a long pass.
His qualities bring a different edge to Brighton's attacks. These can really be exploited against a Liverpool side that has struggled on the flanks recently.
