Best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Defenders This week - Gameweek 28 (GW28)
Matty Cash (Aston Villa, £4.9m)
Matty Cash will have one of the best fixtures in Gameweek 28 of the Premier League, as Unai Emery's Aston Villa will be facing Wolves. The Aston Villa defender is not only a cheap FPL defender option, but who also has decent attacking threat as well in addition to possibly gaining defensive points. He's already directly been involved in 5 goals this season, and Wolves away is an excellent fixture to add to that.
Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City, £5.0m)
It's a rare situation in FPL where you can get a starting defender for a bargain £5.0m who's now playing in an attacking No. 8 midfield role. This is what Pep Guardiola has with Nico O'Reilly, and the young Englishman has been outstanding in his new role which has less defensive responsibilities and more attacking freedom. In fact, we feel Nico O'Reilly is a Fantasy Premier League essential at this current point, and not having him would be a major mistake.
Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool, £5.4m)
Ibrahima Konate is the cheapest starting Liverpool defender you can get at the moment, and it makes a lot of sense to choose him right now over other Liverpool defenders. Konate is slowly getting back to his best after being criticised for weak performances throughout the season, and West Ham at home is a great fixture as well for defensive points. He's also a decent goal threat as well during corners.
Gabriel (Arsenal, £7.1m)
Gabriel is a player you simply must have in Fantasy Premier League, because he's been simply sensational this season for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side will have Chelsea as well this Premier League weekend, and the game takes place at the Emirates. After a promising start under Liam Rosenior, The Blues have suddenly been shockingly poor in recent Premier League games, and thus Gabriel could do huge damage to Chelsea's defense considering how dangerous he is during set-pieces.
Diogo Dalot (Manchester United, £4.5m)
Diogo Dalot is our best cheap FPL defender for this week, and his price is sure to go up if he keeps performing brilliantly. The Portuguese defender has been fantastic under Michael Carrick, and United's next game will be against Crystal Palace who have been struggling a lot. Dalot already has 3 assists as well this season, and with Palace weaker in defense after the sale of Marc Guéhi to City, this is a game where Dalot has a great chance to provide you huge returns.
These are our Best FPL defender picks for this week. Choose your preferred options from our list after considering factors such as team structure, budget, and long-term plans. That's it from our side, see you soon with our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 29?
