PS: Perisic and Zinchenko are not defenders on SPITCH

Cancelo is easily one of the best options in SPITCH and this reflects in the season data so far as he is the highest scoring defender in SPITCH with 2295 points at an average of 328 points. Interestingly all the other players in the top five for most points amongst defenders are centre backs which once again shows the importance of points for passing in SPITCH. 1290 points out of 2295 points that Cancelo scored came from passing points metrics(Includes pass, super pass, throw-in, cross, intercepted ball).

Joachim Andersen is an underrated option on SPITCH as he’s an elite passer and ball carrier, him being in the top five for points amongst defenders shows how good of an option he is in SPITCH.

Castagne too is a great option at only ₵59 and he is averaging an impressive 197 points as well per game this season.

James Tarkowski at ₵79 has gone under the radar so far this season and he in fact scored 319 points in matchday 8 and is averaging 274 points per game which is even more than Trent(264 points).

Trippier at ₵77 is also always a sensible option on SPITCH as he offers points from multiple routes. This season he averages 241 points per game and scored 235 points in matchday 8. He’s also a consistent points producer someone whom you can trust.
