Gameweek 19 is also upon us, and we are here with one final edition of best FPL defenders for this week (GW19) before the year ends. What makes Gameweek 19 really stand out from a Fantasy Premier League perspective is that a lot of the best defenders picks for the week are solid differentials and not popular choices. Thus, your pick of FPL defenders will be more important than usual for this Gameweek. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down to find out the best defenders to pick this week in FPL.
Best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Defenders this week - Gameweek 19 (GW19)
Malick Thiaw (Newcastle, £5.0m)
Malick Thiaw has managed to establish himself as one of the best signings of the season so far. He has been fantastic at the back for Newcastle after his move from AC Milan. Newcastle have one of the easiest fixtures in Gameweek 19 with Burnley, and that makes Thiaw one of the best FPL defender picks for this week. In addition to the almost guaranteed defensive points, Thiaw possesses a decent attacking threat and might give attacking returns as well.
Patrick Dorgu (Manchester United, £4.1m)
Patrick Dorgu arguably had his best ever performance so far in a Manchester United shirt. He was going forward like anything in the game, and was so full of confidence and hunger. In fact, Dorgu looked like one of those epic Brazilian wingers of old times full of tricks and flair. United face the worst Premier League at the moment in Wolves, and we feel Dorgu is a must-have after seeing his performance against Newcastle.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £5.3m)
Most football players would have a drop in performance levels after their dream transfer move collapses in the final minute, but Marc Guéhi has been a rare exception. He hasn't shown a glimpse of sadness after his failed move to Liverpool, and has instead risen up like anything to become one of the Standout defenders of the Premier League this season. Palace will Fulham next, who have been quite average. Thus, Guehi is one of our best FPL defender picks for Gameweek 19.
Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton, £4.6m)
van Hecke has been one of the most underrated defenders in Fantasy Premier League this season. In fact, he's already scored 3 goals and assisted another for Brighton despite being a defender. He's one of the best cheap FPL defenders you can buy this week, especially with Brighton facing a West Ham side who have been nothing less than disappointing.
Jeremie Frimpong (Liverpool, £5.7m)
Jeremie Frimpong is our official pick for best FPL differential defender to buy for this week. The Dutch defender finally looks to be fully fit after Injury, and in fact played his first entire 90 minutes for Liverpool against Wolves. Frimpong got an assist as well that game. Liverpool face Leeds at home next, and a defender like Frimpong with a highly attacking playing style is a fantastic choice for this Gameweek.
These are our Best FPL defenders for this final gameweek of the year. Make sure to choose your FPL defenders after proper analysis and giving it a serious thought, as this week is more crucial than usual when it comes to defender selections. That's it from our side, see you soon for our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 20 next year.
