Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders - GW13

Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City, £5.0m)

Nico O'Reilly seems to have established himself as the number 1 left-back for Manchester City at least for the time being. Thus, he is expected to start most of their Premier League games in the near future, except a rare game or 2 due to the strict rotation policy of Pep Guardiola. Gameweek 13 will see Manchester City face Leeds at home, and this makes O'Reilly one of the best FPL defenders for this week. Additionally, he's quite attacking as well and also a bargain at £5.0m for a City defender.


Matty Cash (Aston Villa, £4.6m)

Matty Cash cash was one of the standout players for Aston Villa during the beginning of the season when they were struggling in the Premier League. Unai Emery's side now seem to be back to their very best, and this instantly makes Cash one of the best £4.5m cheap defenders in Fantasy Premier League whenever the fixtures are attractive. Villa face Wolves at home in GW13, and this is one of those games where you wouldn't want to miss out having him.


Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £5.1m)

Marc Guéhi is one of the best defenders in the Premier League league when it comes to aspects such as leadership and composure. Guehi's reaction after his dream move to Liverpool collapsed in the very end is the biggest proof of that. Crystal Palace is in excellent form right now, and they'll be facing a Manchester United side who have gone back to square one after an underwhelming defeat against Everton. Without a doubt, Guéhi is one of the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for Gameweek 13.


Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur, £4.8m)

After a bright start to life under Thomas Frank z Tottenham and Micky van de Ven have been struggling for the past few gameweeks. The 4-1 defeat to their biggest rivals has especially made fans angry. Thus, the game against Fulham in GW13 is the perfect opportunity for Spurs to begin their comeback and have their season back on track. Considering the fixture difficulty and the player's ability both in defense and offensive set-pieces, van de Ven is surely one of the best FPL defender picks this week.


Sepp van den Berg (Brentford, £4.5m)

If you're looking for a cheap £4.5m defender who's also a massive differential and not expecting anything much more than a standard 6-pointer with clean sheet and minutes paid, Sepp van den Berg is without a doubt one of the best FPL defenders for this week. Brentford have been in brilliant form recently despite their loss against Brighton, and they'll be facing one of the worst EPL sides in Brighton. Thus, van den Berg is a really attractive pick.


These are our Best FPL defenders for this week. Having some of these defenders in your team will most probably earn you solid picks in GW13 of Fantasy Premier League. That's it from our side, see you soon for our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 14. Goodbye for now
