GW 4: Definitely Consider DEFCON Defenders

Wake up, wake up, the first international break of the season is over! First, we refresh our memories of what happened in Gameweek 3, including Liverpool’s tight victory over Arsenal, West Ham’s upset over Nottingham Forest, and Manchester United’s last-gasp win against Burnley (which contributed to Jiayang’s somewhat successful spontaneous Free Hit that featured all three of Bruno, Mbeumo, and Cunha). For our Dilemma Deliberations, we contemplate the viability of Liverpool’s attacking options following Isak’s arrival, then extensively explore the effect that Defensive Contributions are having on the defender meta. It seems like this new route to points for cheap center backs may enable them to rival—even supplant—cheap attacking fullbacks, which have been a true FPL staple for years—even decades.
