FPL Gameweek 9 – head-to-head comparisons: Aaron Cresswell vs James Justin

Two full-backs are under the microscope here after both Aaron Cresswell (£5.1m) and James Justin (£4.8m) were involved in clean sheets for their respective clubs in Gameweek 8. Cresswell's West Ham successfully shut out Fulham, whilst Justin's Leicester kept Wolves from scoring as both matches finished 1-0 to the hosts. Both defenders picked up six FPL points.

Gameweek 9 sees West Ham travel to Sheffield Utd, whilst Leicester face a trip to Anfield to play Liverpool. With the Blades having only scored four league goals so far this season, the fixture is vastly in favour of Cresswell and when you also take into account his taking of set pieces, the West Ham defender in our eyes is worth the extra £0.3m it would cost to have him in our team ahead of Justin.

Verdict: Aaron Cresswell
