GW 4 promises to be a fun one, as we will have some exciting fixtures such as Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest, Brentford vs Chelsea, and Manchester City vs Manchester United. 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 4
Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool, £6.0m)
Liverpool were defensively vulnerable in their opening two Premier League fixtures against Bournemouth and Newcastle. However, in what was their biggest test of the season yet, the Reds put up a solid display at the back against Arsenal, and Virgil Van Dijk was at the heart of it. The truth is when Van Dijk is in top-form, the whole Liverpool defense is simply magnificent. He is one of the best FPL defender picks this week, as Liverpool will be facing a weak Burnley side.
Tino Livramento (Newcastle United, £5.1m)
Tino Livramento is one of the best FPL picks if you're prioritizing a Newcastle defender for this week. He is guaranteed to start most games and also could provide you with attacking returns as well. Eddie Howe's Newcastle side will also be facing Wolves at home, thus providing a huge scope for clean sheet points as well. Livramento could end up as a bargain for GW 4.
Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace, £5.0m)
Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner is a solid team defensively. Maxence Lacroix was simply phenomenal in Palace's shocking 0-3 win over Aston Villa, where he not only kept a clean sheet but even provided an assist as well. Palace will be facing Sunderland at Home, and this the perfect game for Lacroix to continue his outstanding form and return some attractive FPL points for his selectors. Additionally, Marc Guéhi is not guaranteed to start due to his Liverpool move getting collapsed, and this makes Lacroix a safer option as well.
Joachim Andersen (Fulham, £4.5m)
Joachim Andersen is the perfect cheap Fantasy Premier League defender pick for Gameweek 4. He was already an underrated but effective FPL defender pick during his time at Crystal Palace, and he has continued that positive momentum with Fulham. Newly promoted Leeds United will be facing Fulham away in GW 4, and thus Andersen has a huge opportunity to give you a clean sheet and potentially defensive contribution points as well.
Marc Cucurella (Chelsea, £6.1m)
Marc Cucurella might probably be the best Chelsea defender to pick in Fantasy Premier League at the moment. His solid defensive work combined with fantastic attacking ability is what makes him a really attractive option. Chelsea captain Reece James boasts of similar qualities as well, but his fitness issues mean that he might not start every game. Thus, Cucurella stands out as a top fpl defender pick for GW 4, especially with the Blues facing Brentford side that has lost most of its star players.
These are our Best FPL defenders for this week. Premier League Gameweek 4 promises to be nothing less than a splendid and fun weekend. That's it from our side, see you soon for our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 5.
