Jose Fonte (Southampton)
Southampton have allowed fewer shots on goal this season than any other team, and have conceded the same number as second placed Liverpool.
While the likes of Adam Lallana, Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert have gained plaudits, it is the Saints defence that deserves the most praise with Portuguese centre half Jose Fonte somewhat of an unsung hero at the back for the south coast side.
Fonte helped Southampton to two clean sheets and two victories in February, scoring the only goal in the club’s win against Hull City at the KC Stadium.
