Hello football fans, looking for the best FPL defenders this week? Have no worries as we have curated some of the best fantasy premier league defenders for Gameweek 3. GW3 will have some exciting fixtures for clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham. Let's not waste more time then, scroll down to find the best defenders to pick this week in FPL.
Best Fantasy Premier League Defenders - Gameweek 3
Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United, £5.0m)
There was a time when Kieran Trippier was one of the most popular and best fantasy premier league defenders. Although he is past his prime, Trippier still possesses decent attacking threat and could especially be ideal for returns since Newcastle will be facing newly-promoted Leeds United. Additionally, he is just owned by 2.5% users in FPL, and is undoubtedly a smart differential FPL pick this weekend.
Patrick Dorgu (Manchester United, £4.5m)
Patrick Dorgu is arguably the best budget-defender in FPL for this week at £4.5. Manchester United will be facing Burnley at Old Trafford, thus making it an excellent fixture for Manchester United defenders to pick up both clean sheet points and possible attacking returns. Dorgu, although classified as a defender, operates as an attacking wingback for Manchester United. Therefore, this is one of the best fixtures if you're ever gonna pick him this season.
Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea, £5.0m)
Trevoh Chalobah has been brilliant so far in his return stint at Chelsea. He yet again proved his doubters wrong when Chelsea faced West Ham, putting in a decent defensive display and also scoring a goal. With just an FPL ownership of 3.1%, he is yet another ideal Fantasy Premier League differential for this week. We expect a narrow win for Chelsea over Fulham this weekend, and we also predict Chalobah to return clean sheet points and possibly some defensive contribution returns.
Pedro Porro (Tottenham, £5.5m)
Pedro Porro has always been of the most popular Fantasy Premier League defender picks due to his high attacking nature and impressive returns. Under Thomas Frank, Tottenham have been brilliant so far, especially from a defensive point of view. This makes Porro a top FPL defender pick who can provide you with tons of points in certain fixtures. Spurs will be facing Bournemouth at home this Premier League weekend, who are known for their attacking style of play. Thus, Bournemouth will be a bit exposed defensively, and there's huge scope for Pedro to come up with high returns.
Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest, £5.0)
Nottingham Forest have one of the easiest Premier Fixtures on paper this weekend, as they face a West Ham side at home who have been absolutely terrible so far. Forrest are known for their excellent defensive play, and this makes Ola Aina in particular one of the FPL defenders this week. He is not just a player who could potentially provide you with a clean sheet return this week, but another 2 points due to his excellence when it comes to defensive contributions. Undoubtedly one of the most safest picks this week we'd say.
