We continue our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Double Gameweek 32 by looking at the defenders.

Those that have been considered are players who have two fixtures in the upcoming round of action.

Data from the Fantasy Football Scout members area has been pivotal to our research to pick out options who not only have a chance of keeping clean sheets but also adding attacking returns too.

For that reason, Fantasy Football Scout members can now read on and assess the analysis for themselves.

Those without membership can still enjoy the weekend’s article on the best Double Gameweek 32 goalkeepers for free.

Now that we are past the half-way stage of the season, memberships are now available for just £10, so make sure you get the most of it while you can by signing up HERE.

                      He’s in my most recent draft. Will only stay if Aurier is actually properly injured. Even then it’s debatable. Pro’s; conveniently fills a spot and ticks a box of having Spurs ‘cover’. 2m+ cheaper than the mids and offers returns both ends of the pitch. Con’s: Pool away could be a negative score and then KWP gets CPL in order to save Trip for the cup.

                            Same. 2 loose floating spots that keep changing. I didn’t even think of Vert until I see this article tbh but was on Trip before. Can’t have them all but I’d love one Spurs player for that home game v CPL on the last night.

                            Can’t fault it. The little tweaks are just a matter of personal opinion and situation. Different people will tell you either City triple up or go the Def. Truth is no one knows, it’s a gamble. All I’ll say is if you’re chasing, the triple up attack is a great chance of pulling back big points.

                              Thanks mate! Need to make up 40 points to catch up in ML. Do you think that its worth the risk of triple city attack? I can see Laporte easily getting 2 CS plus a possibility of a goal.

                                  I’m chasing 60 and seriously considering. But tbh it looks tempting atm because of United strikers injury doubts. If Lukaku fit for example, I’d take him over Sane all day long. He can be that explosive diff but will start both.

                                    Fair point. Also bare in mind that opponents have pretty used all their chips. So torn in between as i think City defensive cover is essential but then i need to catch up. Did a few changes and came up with this

                                      TBH i would only include Pogba for UTD cover. Kaku is really tempting if he's fit though.

                          Not sure why the lads on FML FPL are going 5 at the back.. seems a very low ceiling to me and no guarantee of a double clean sheet for Chelsea / United.

                            There was a stat heavy article someone posted yesterday that showed, historically, that defenders from the top 7 clubs (that season) do better in dgws than attackers, so a back 4 or 5 is preferable.

                            yeah and not much fun going 5 at the back, rather hope for attacking returns, especially with the tempting fixtures for city and chelski this week

                          Burned my FH, so trying to make the best out a poor situation.

                          0.9 to spend, want a Chelsea defender.

                          Are you fancy more 5 midfield or 3 forwards on FH and why?

                          Dont see 3 good options for striker with Aguero as only big hiter.

                            for mids I see sterling/haz/pogba//mili/ plus maybe dilva or eriksen

                            either could score as many as the others depending on minutes and how the games go, I'm currently on 343 but normally prefer 352, really not sure atm -- if rash is injured and if I worry about jiminez minutes, then I may go kane+kun with 352, or even 442

                              I fancy Townsend if i choose 3-5-2. Rash would be good choice but i think he will miss one game and play second

                                I prefer mili over townsend, but yes if rash is not fit to start first game I may be forced to 352

                                  If there is no penalty then wont be Mili return possibly and Townsend play vs former club and Huddersfield..

                                  What you think about Martial? Or lingaard

                          Kane?

                          I can have rash or jimi instead which enables bold double CHE defence.....

                          my initial thoughts were that I must have Kane for a DGW, but Liverpool away, plus Palace means I don't think he'll romp, however slight worry that first game at new stadium I'm worried about hearing commentator saying 'kane hat-trick , the script was written..blah blah blah'

                          what's people's view on Kane for this week?

                            feeling the latter will do better, Higuain has very poor form really, only caveat is that if ever there was a good DGW to give him a chance, this is it

                            Lukaku/Rash over Higuain

                              Thanks, makes sense.

                            Pogba with such high ownership & has great fixtures so, I'd get him

                          Pogba or Alli? chasing so looking for differential.
                          Got Lukaku in front, no spurs

                            I'd go for Son.

                              Good option but worried about Son's fatigue and minutes though

                                Whilst I haven't followed his games as much, in the latest podcast the scoutcast seemed to talk pretty highly of him and said the international week allowed Son some decent rest.

                            Pogba, but Jota is good for differential perharps

                          Is it worth going all out City/Chelsea attack if youre trailing by 40 points in ML? Bare in mind that other players already used FH but not TC AND there's another DGW coming up. I just feel like defenders might actually do well this week. PLEASE HELP

                            Triple City attack + Hazard + 2 Chelsea defense is a great option imo

                              Thanks Amey. How about triple city with Azpi Haz and Hig?

                                I don't rate Higuain atm tbh.
                                You can try though 🙂
