But who should you replace him with? talkSPORT.com has scouted five potential defenders who could be a good outlet for you in the coming weeks.

Lucas Digne (Everton) – 5.2m

The Everton full-back has emerged as an FPL diamond this season with his attacking threat down the left-side and his ability from dead-ball situations.Many have deemed the Frenchman the “new Leighton Baines”, and in a Toffees side who have struggled at times this term his season haul of 87 points is impressive.Digne also has favourable fixtures, with Southampton, Huddersfield, Wolves and Watford his next four before they face Manchester City at home.Digne has been a great signing for the Toffees6

Luke Shaw (Manchester United) – 5.0m

As we have all seen the Red Devils are thriving under Ole Gunner Solskjaer and are finally getting clean sheets to show for it after clean sheets against Newcastle and Tottenham.Shaw is also given license to roam forward by his boss and has potential to provide attacking returns.He has only notched up 49 points this term but more clean sheets are expected with their next two fixtures at home to Brighton and Burnley.He is also at a budget price for a defender at 5.0m.Shaw is now an attractive FPL proposition6

David Luiz (Chelsea) – 5.9m
