Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders - Gameweek 17 (GW17)
Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City, £5.3m)
Manchester City are in terrific form right now and are one of the strongest teams in the EPL currently. Nico O'Reilly has made the left-back his own at City this season, and with a weak West Ham side next, he is undoubtedly of the best FPL defender picks for this week. To top off, his price of just £5.3m makes him an absolute bargain you shouldn't miss out on for the Gameweek.
Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth, £4.9m)
Bournemouth has gone from having one of their best ever starts to a Premier League to a disastrous run of form that has led them to 13th in the league. Nonetheless, they managed to earn a draw against Manchester United and will next be facing one of the worst Premier League sides in Burnley. This makes Marcos Senesi a top Fantasy premier league pick for this and he's surely one of the best cheap defender options at his price of £4.9m.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £5.3m)
Crystal Palace is known for their excellent defensive organization under Oliver Glasner and their defenders are decent when it comes to providing attacking returns in certain games. Thus, we have included Marc Guéhi in our best FPL defenders for Gameweek 17 list, especially since Palace will be facing Leeds who are extremely poor when it comes to keeping a clean sheet.
William Saliba (Arsenal, £5.9m)
Arsenal are in an injury crisis in defense right now, but luckily for them, William Saliba returned against Wolves and played the whole 90 minutes. Everton away is expected to be a tight game where the centre backs could play a huge role in the final result, and this is the kind of game where Saliba could score huge in the form of bonus points and defensive contributions. We suggest you go for them, especially with Arsenal boasting the best defense record in the league.
Matty Cash (Aston Villa, £4.9m)
Matty Cash has been one of the best Fantasy Premier League defenders of the season so far, and his bargain price of £4.9m means it's better you transfer him in before he inevitably increases in price. Cash possesses a decent attacking threat as well, and with Villa in terrific form right now, this is one of the best times to own him in the game. Villa will be facing a Manchester United side that conceded 4 against Bournemouth, which means Cash has a huge opportunity to put up a massive total in GW17 after the game.
