I see a lot of teams with TAA going light on the rest of their defense.

Personally I'm playing 3-5-2 with TAA and two 4.5 defenders with him so I can go big in midfield and up front.

So let's compare £4.5 full backs from the Premier League last season

Let's have a look

Conclusion:

Obviously these stats are far from special but it's good to take a look anyways.

Dan Burn(1.08xG) is the main stand out as a goal threat as you would expect from a 6"7 player who gets in the box. Targett(0.76xG) is a close 2nd who likes his late runs in to the box.

From a creative perspective Targett(4.62xA) is easily the best but although Lamptey (1.39xA) has a very small sample size he has the potential to do very well if he keeps his place.

Taylor's attacking stats are very underwhelming but he plays with a solid Burnley team so you would be relying more on clean sheets.

Frederick has some decent attacking stats but his place is apparently in doubt and West Ham are very inconsistent in every aspect.

That's the end of the thread.
