Welcome to Gameweek 15 edition of top 5 best FPL defenders for this week. Similar to GW14, there are some difficult fixtures in GW15 as well, but we have done our expert analysis and picked the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for you. Let's not delay any further then, scroll down to find the best defenders to pick this week in FPL.
Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders - Gameweek 15
Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton, £4.4m)
Van Hecke has been one of the most underrated defenders in Fantasy Premier League 25/26 so far. With Brighton facing an underwhelming West Ham side at home in Gameweek 15 and his being just £4.4m, Van Hecke is one of the best FPL defenders you can pick this week. Considering how weak West Ham are, there's a high scope for both clean sheet and clean sheet points. Additionally, he's already scored 3 goals and thus possesses an attacking threat as well.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £5.1m)
Marc Guéhi had a Standout performance against Burnley, as he got an assist, earned a clean sheet, and also ended up getting 3 bonus points. Palace will face Fulham away in Gameweek 15. Although they had a close game against Manchester City, the fact Fulham conceded 5 goals shows their defensive vulnerability. This could be exploited by someone like Guehi, and thus he could repeat his Burnley heroics yet again against Fulham. Undoubtedly one of the best FPL defenders in GW15.
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal, £6.4m)
Arsenal will be facing Aston Villa away in Gameweek 15, who are currently one of the most in-form Premier League teams. However, the Gunners boast of the best defense in the league and could arguably get a clean sheet in any game on their day. Thus, we have included Jurrien Timber in our best Fantasy Premier League defenders for GW15 list. He's not just a solid defender, but also a huge threat going forward as well. His price of £6.4m is completely justified considering what he offers to you.
Malick Thiaw (Newcastle, £5.0m)
Malick Thiaw is slowly establishing himself as one of the top differential FPL defenders in the 25-26 campaign. Newcastle have been solid defensively under Eddie Howe, but Thiaw also excels from an attacking perspective, as evident by his brace against Everton. Newcastle will also have one of the best fixtures this Gameweek, which is Burnley at home. We'd say Thiaw is surely a must-pick for this Gameweek.
Luke Shaw (Manchester United, £4.5m)
There aren't a lot of reliable options when it comes to Manchester United defenders in Fantasy Premier League, but Luke Shaw can be considered as an exception for GW15. He had returned from a long-term injury and has since been decent this season for Ruben Amorim's side. United face Wolves in Gameweek 15, who are 20th in the Premier League and shockingly poor at the moment. Thus, Luke Shaw is a great low-risk option according to us considering the fixture and his decent FPL price.
