Defensive Pressure and the Downfall of the Running Defender

[Bluke]

So the idea then is to buy players listed as defenders who play in/get time in the midfield (God/Gibbs/Grimes) or as forwards?

Definitely Memphistopheles, obviously there are always going to be exceptions to that rule but I would say (and this is nothing new) that defenders and forwards that get midfield time are always preferable to dedicted defenders (or forwards).

Thanks for the link Valk/j959
