Best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Defenders this week - Gameweek 27 (GW27)
Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea, £5.8m)
With Cucurella out injured and Reece James always being a risk due to his fitness issues, we feel Trevoh Chalobah to be one of the best Chelsea defender picks in FPL this week. Liam Rosenior's side are in fine form at the moment, and they'll also be facing a weak Burnley side at home. Chalobah has also scored 3 goals as well so far this season, and thus he carries a decent attacking threat as well.
Lucas Digne (Aston Villa, £4.5m)
Lucas Digne is one of the best cheap FPL defenders to pick this week in Gameweek 27. Matty Cash is an injury doubt for the game against Leeds this weekend, and hence Digne would be a risk-free Fantasy Premier League pick if you're looking for an Aston Villa defender who's expected to give great returns is cheap in price as well. Digne also has 4 assists already this season, and, thus there's a great chance as well for him to provide you some attacking returns against a weak side at home.
Marc Guéhi (Manchester City, £5.2m)
Newcastle are currently struggling in the Premier League as things stand, and that's why we feel Marc Guéhi is a great Fantasy Premier League option for Gameweek 27. The former Crystal Palace captain has been really impressive since joining City, and he has a great scope of providing you with great returns this weekend. The game takes place at City's home as well, and City's current form means they have a great chance of securing an easy victory against Newcastle.
Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace, £5.1m)
After the departure of Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace, Maxence Lacroix is arguably the best defender to pick in FPL if you're looking for a Palace player this weekend. Oliver Glasner's side will have one of the easiest fixtures of the Gameweek with Wolves at home, and they are expected to win the game easily. Lacroix already has 2 assists as well this season, so he is capable of giving you attacking returns as well in addition to defensive points.
Diogo Dalot (Manchester United, £4.5m)
Diogo Dalot has been fantastic since Michael Carrick has taken over as Man Utd's interim boss, and his price of £4.5m is a bargain at the moment considering the way he's playing right now. Dalot has been directly involved in 4 goals as well this season, and the game against Everton in Gameweek 27 is a great opportunity for the Portuguese right-back to score big in FPL. Definitely a risk worth taking considering his price.
These are our best FPL defenders for this week.
