Hall leads the gameweek 5 defenders
5.02 expected points, with 1.44 of it from clean sheets alone.
Hall (NEW) projects 5.02: 1.44 from clean sheets, 0.55 from defensive contribution and 0.64 from bonus. Where a defender's points come from matters as much as the total — a clean-sheet projection lives or dies on one fixture, while defensive contribution pays regardless of the scoreline.
