Hello Fantasy Premier League fans, we are here with our pick of the best FPL defenders for this week. GW14 of the Premier League is a little bit complicated from a fixtures perspective, but we've done our expert analysis and come up with the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for Gameweek 14. Let's not waste more time then, scroll down to find the best defenders to pick this week in FPL.


Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders - Gameweek 14

Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £5.1m)

Crystal Palace might've lost against Ruben Manchester United, but they'll be facing Burnley away in Gameweek 14. This is the kind of game where they are heavy favourites, and should win comfortably by a few goals. Thus, Marc Guéhi stands out as one of the best FPL defender picks for the week due to the high probability of getting both clean sheet and defensive contribution points. Additionally, it's not totally impossible for him to somehow end up getting a goal or assist in the game.


Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest, £4.7m)

After the 0-3 thrashing of Liverpool at Anfield, the expectation was that Forest are now going to be on a golden run under Sean Dyche. However, all those hopes were destroyed after a 0-2 loss against Brighton. They face Wolves next, who are the worst team in the league currently. Thus, Neco Williams is our pick for the best £4.5m price range cheap defender you can own in GW14. He also possesses a decent attacking threat as well.


Jurrien Timber (Arsenal, £6.4m)

With Gabriel injured, Jurrien Timber is undoubtedly the best Arsenal defender you can own in Fantasy Premier League at the moment. He might be expensive at £6.4m, but he's worth the price due to Arsenal's outstanding defensive record and the player's excellent attacking potential. The Gunners face Brentford at home in Gameweek 14, which won't be an easy game, but one where they are expected to win.


Marc Cucurella (Chelsea, £6.1m)

Marc Cucurella has had a solid season for Chelsea so far, and he has surely established himself as one of the best left-backs in the world. Chelsea face Leeds away in the Premier League next, and this is the type of game where Cucurella could end up giving you even more just defensive points due to the weak opposition and his attacking nature. Surely one of the best Fantasy Premier League defender picks for this week.


Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United, £5.0m)

Matthijs de Ligt has been one of the most improved players for Manchester United this season, especially when you consider he was kinda underwhelming in his debut campaign. United will be coming from a 1-2 win over Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace side, and will be full of confidence. They'll be facing West Ham at home next, which looks to be a great fixture. De Ligt is our top pick from the list of Manchester United defenders, and is surely one of the best differential defenders in FPL this week.


These are our Best FPL defenders for this week. Select your preferred options from our list according to your budget availability and long-term plans. That's it from our side, see you soon for our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 14.
