I posted a priced-based analysis of Defenders yesterday (see post #295) in this thread
This is another look at the top defenders but more from a performance point of view - ie their average pts score to date.
** NOTE - Only players with 3 games or more have been included
The first panel is ranked on original salary
The second panel is ranked on current pts average
The third panel is ranked on current salary

I have segmented the analysis so that we can see the difference between the top 10 and the top 11-20 (10 is arbitrary, but..)
The green shaded amounts represent the dollars paid per point scored for the given set of 10 players.
Salmon colours in the second & third panels reflect players in the original top-10 for price
Blue colours in the second & third panels reflect players in the original top-11-20 for price
I havent spent a lot of time anlaysing this - so draw your own conclusions!
A couple of things tho came to mind ..
Panel 1 - Original Price order
Ther isnt quite as big a difference between the results of the top 10 and the next top 10 as I would have expected. They're doing better by 100 ppw but the value difference favours the second group, which must reduce the overall advantage.
Panel 2 - Average ppw order
The top-10 of panel 2 is where we all want to be (at this stage anyway).
Only 4 of the original top-10 most expensive players feature, plus two more from the next tier
Across the top 20 there are 6 and 5 respectively.
No really cheap players in there.
