Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders This Week- Gameweek 30
Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool, £6.2m)
Tottenham Hotspur is the best opposition any Premier League side could ask for at this moment. That's how poor they have been this season, and the club are in danger of getting relegated as well this season. These factors make Virgil Van Dijk a really attractive FPL pick for this week. In addition to the defensive points he could give you, don't be surprised if the Liverpool captain scores a goal as well, such is the disastrous form of the Tottenham defense right now.
Gabriel (Arsenal, £7.2m)
Gabriel will always be a name that's included in our best FPL defenders list for any week. He has been nothing less than world-class this season, and could even win the player of the season award if Mikel Arteta's side end up lifting the Premier League. Arsenal will face Everton in Gameweek 30, which is a decent fixture, and one where Gabriel could give you solid returns.
Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace, £5.1m)
Crystal Palace have been really disappointing for the past few months, but their recent 3-1 win over Spurs should give them some much needed confidence for the games ahead. They'll next face Leeds at home, which is a great fixture for players to get great returns in FPL. Thus we have gone for Lacroix, who has been really impressive this season and one of the highest scoring defenders for Palace this season in FPL.
Daniel Ballard (Sunderland, £4.6m)
Daniel Ballard is the budget defender you can pick in FPL this week, as Sunderland will be facing Brighton at home this weekend. The Seagulls have been quite poor in comparison to their usual standards this season, and Sunderland also have the home advantage as well. This makes Ballard quite an attractive pick considering the fixture difficulty and his overall performances this season.
Marc Guéhi (Manchester City, £5.2m)
Marc Guéhi has been really impressive for Manchester City since joining from Crystal Palace. The English defender has added much needed experience and quality to City's defense. City will be facing West Ham this weekend, who are fighting relegation. This is the kind of game that's perfect for Guéhi to get a solid total in the form of a clean sheet, defensive contributions, and potential bonus points.
In conclusion, selecting the right defenders can make a big difference to your Fantasy Premier League score in Gameweek 30. By targeting players with favorable fixtures, strong defensive records, and potential attacking returns, managers can maximize their chances of earning valuable points. Consider these picks carefully as you finalize your squad, and aim to build a balanced defense that can deliver both clean sheets and bonus points this week.
