In search of the best FPL defenders this week? Then this is the place to be as we are here with our expertly analysed picks of the Best fantasy premier league defenders for Gameweek 7. FPL GW7 is quite excellent for certain defenders to score, and choosing them can help in your rankings as well. 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 7

Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth, £4.9m)

With every passing Gameweek in the Premier League, Marcos Senesi is proving himself to be one of the best defenders out there. Similar to Antoine Semenyo leading the attack for Bournemouth, it is Senesi who has been their star player in defense. Bournemouth will now face Fulham at home in GW7, with the latter coming from a 3-1 thrashing from Aston Villa. This makes Bournemouth heavy favourites, and Senesi undoubtedly one of the best FPL defenders this week.


Gabriel (Arsenal, £6.2m)

Gabriel has always been widely seen as one of the FPL defenders out there, whether it's for this week or Gameweek. He is a rare premium defender who also possesses a devastating aerial ability that results in him scoring numerous headed goals. Newcastle were his latest victims last week, and Arsenal will now be facing West Ham in GW7. The fixture looks like a great one for Gabriel to earn you some solid returns.


Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, £4.8m)

Marc Guéhi has simply been the epitome of mental resilience. He has continued to perform exceptionally this season despite his dream transfer to Liverpool collapsing on the final day of the transfer window. In fact, he also played a huge role in helping Palace earn a shock win over Arne Slot's Liverpool side. At a price of just £4.8m and Palace facing Everton, he is one of the best budget defenders in FPL this week.


Matty Cash (Aston Villa, £4.6m)

Matty Cash is our official pick as the best cheap defender in FPL for this week. Aston Villa were finally back to winning ways with a spectacular 3-1 win over Fulham, and we now expect Unai Emery's side to be back to their best. Cash has always been an integral part of Emery's side, and this revival in team form should also see Cash improve considerably as well. Aston Villa will face Burnley at home in GW7, which makes one of the best Fantasy Premier League Defenders for Gameweek 7.


Dan Burn (Newcastle United, £5.0m)

Dan Burn is one of the best Fantasy Premier League defender picks out there if you're insistent on having a Newcastle defender in your Gameweek 7 FPL team. Newcastle have been extremely unlucky so far to drop so many points in the league, as their performance has been really solid in many games. Burn has been really decent as well in defense. With the Geordies facing a Nottingham Forest side who have been disappointing under Ange Postecoglou so far, Burn looks like a really solid FPL defender option.


These are our Best FPL defenders for this week. All these players have a high chance of giving you excellent returns, so choose wisely according to your preference and team budget availability. That's it from our side, see you soon for our best Fantasy Premier League defenders list for Gameweek 8.
