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.

    from 90min.com (never heard of this website so take this with a pinch of salt)

    "Marcus Rashford, ​Anthony Martial, ​Luke Shaw, ​Romelu Lukaku and ​Nemanja Matic were all forced to withdraw from international duty through injury, but they will all likely be available for the visit of Watford on Saturday. However, Lukaku may remain sidelined for a further week to avoid any risk of aggravating his foot injury."

      Thats what i've been reading everywhere on the net too.

    Can see a sudden love for Higuain around these parts today.

    Have tried building a team with him but he just doesn't fill me with any confidence.

    3 goals in 7 games and 2 of the games were against the worst teams in the PL Fulham & Hud. Completed 90 mins on 4 occasions only.

    Add the threat of rotation or early subs with Giroud lurking he just doesn't seem worth it.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      jusst a case of not trusting double chelsea defense but wanting to get 3 from them

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      exactly, the teams he plays are among the worst too.

      1. CLASS OF 78
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I don't see how he doesn't match Kane, considering opposition, over next 2 games.

    3. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Dont believe Chelsea will score more than 3-4 goals in those 2 games total. Both opponents will lineup defensively and Chelsea are predictable. Only way Chelsea can have two easy wins with high score would be if Sarri made serious changes to formation or starting XI, which i honestly dont expect. Higuain will start both games, wont play 90 mins in any of the games and he seems an ok nr 9 nothing extraordinary. I wouldnt drop or transfer out, but i certainly wouldnt transfer in or captain.

      • 16 Years

      I changed my team around a bit yesterday as I don't believe we will get 2 games from Lukaku.

      Yes he is low on confidence, but in the last 4 his SoT & SIB are similar to that of Lukaku. His GA's are actually more than Lukaku.

      Major differential.

    5. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Just has never passed the eye test for me
      He could have a good DGW but it depends how many positions you might have to sacrifice to get him in

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        None in my case. Picking him over Lukaku actually gives me Rashford over Mili

  4. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Best option?

    A Ederson / Boly
    B Foster / Laporte

    Have Aguero and Sterling....

  5. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Which combo will prob score more?

    A) Mili and Lindelof

    B) Rashford and Dunk

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years

      B

    Nice article, thank you David.

  7. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    A) Lindelof & Deulo (352)

    B) Smalling & Duffy (442)

    If you are trying to predict goals and assists for defenders you will need a lot more data than four games. Over this short period the selected defenders have barely mustered 20 SoT in total which is practically useless as a predictive statistic.

    But then, predicting defender attacking points for just two games is probably a mug's game anyway.

  9. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Play two of (at least one defender):

    A) Koscielny (NEW)
    B) Bernardo (SOU, che)
    C) Tielemans (BOU)
    D) Brooks (lei)
    E) Loftus - Cheek (car, BRI)

  10. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Ederson
    Azpi/Smalling/Schlupp
    Hazard/Pogba/Sterling/Son
    Jimenez/Rashford*/Aguero

    (Speroni, Connelly Simpson CHO)

    0.0 ITB

  11. balint84

    Alli or Son in a wildcard? I think Alli will play twice

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I'd pick Son with WC.

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I think both will play twice. Next game will be a week after the first game in the new stadium. Spurs cant afford to lose points so will lineup the strongest team in both games. I d go for Alli since Son has long distance travels and may get a few less minutes. Plus with Kane back Son seems less explosive, everyone is trying to find Kane on the pitch.

    Hi all
    Does anyone know if Brazil had two games and whether Ederson and Luiz played both? I know Ederson played at the weekend
    Thanks in advance

    1. MarcusAurelius
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Brazil played last night and Ederson rested for full 90 mins. I don’t think Luiz was in the squad for either match.

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    TC Aguero or Sterling?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Kun for me.

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Agueroooooooo

  14. balint84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    recommended under 5.5 midfielder who also plays gw33?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Slim pickings...

      1. balint84
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Ward-Prowse, Westwood, Mcneill, Redmond, ...

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      McArthur has DGW now and GW 33 game. Dont remember his price but should be under 5.5.

      1. balint84
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Ward-Prowse, Westwood, Mcneill, Redmond?

        1. skodaole2
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Thought you wanted a DGW player with a 33 game. If not, those you mention are pretty good.

  15. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Help me choose

    A) Kepa – Luiz, Lindelof, Schlupp – B.Silva – Bats

    B) DDG – Luiz, Azpi, Schlupp – D.Silva – Zaha

    C) Kepa – Laporte, Azpi, Lindelof – Son – Zaha

    Thanks

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B for me, what I've got but can't afford Zaha, has to be Bats (or drop Dilva to Bilva)

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      b

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Looks like we have a winner.

  16. RIDZ
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Kepa
    Azpi Schlupp Lindelof
    Sterling DSilva Pogba Hazard Deulofeu
    Kun(C) Bats

    any changes needed? could be azpi to luiz to upgrade somewhere else

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Really like the look of this.

    Foster
    Dunk Jonny AWB
    Delu Pogba Haz Sterling
    Higuain Lukaku Kun

    Could obvs downgrade Delu to someone like Cama or H-Odoi and bring in Lindelof and Boly?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Really don't think that front 3 is worth and that the big 3 DGW teams are a decent bet for clean sheets

  18. balint84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Dele or Dilva only for this week?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Probably Dilva
      Rested, better fixtures, highest scoring team in the country

  19. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    i have sterling and kun but no kane. would you rather have :

    1 Dilva
    2 Eriksen/alli

    ?

  20. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    What's the better FH team?

    A)
    Kepa
    Laporte, Lindelöf, Schlupp, DUNK
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba
    Aguero, HIGUAIN, LUKAKU

    Or

    B)
    Kepa
    Laporte, Lindelöf, Schlupp, DUFFY
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba
    Aguero, KANE, RASHFORD

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

    2. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Or

      A) Dunk, Higuain, Lukaku
      B) Duffy, Kane, Rashford

      1. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        The answer is B

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I'm so happy you got 4 reds in a row.

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      b

    4. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I would dare be different and say (A), provided Luka is fit. Also do you still feel confident with Laporte with Stones/Mendy back in training?

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      What's your preference?
      A) Ederson, Luiz, Schlupp
      B) Kepa, Walker, Tomkins

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        A because not Walker.

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          What'd you say if it was Laporte instead of Walker?

          1. Eytexi
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            You could then afford Schlupp. Reckon Kepa & Laporte score similarly to Ederson & Luiz so not sure: Ederson & Luiz probably slightly more nailed.

            1. The Head-Ake
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Also, would you rather have Dilva or a City defender? I'm leaning towards a defender but idk

              1. Eytexi
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 4 days ago

                For me it's a defender (Laporte) because he's more secure of minutes and points, even if less explosive.

                Also don't fancy United defenders this week so the only strong defence i can have includes a City asset.

      2. Phil's Stamps
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        A

    6. FPLAdmiral
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Any thoughts on this 433 FH team chaps?

      Kepa
      Luiz, Laporte, Lindelof, Schlupp
      Hazard, Sterling, Pogba
      Aguero, Kane, Rashford

      (3.9)(Valery, Peltier, O.Romeu)

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        If you are 100% going with Kane then I like it

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        What even is your TV?

        1. FPLAdmiral
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          107.2!

      3. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Exactly my team

        Debating Kane v Higuain

        1. Concrete
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Then Kepa become Lloris

          1. Moderately content penguin
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Spurs defence isn't a bad call - not much worse than United in my view

      4. QuintonFortune25
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Amazing team, nicely done.

    7. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      No Kane seemes to make sense given the cost and the impact he has in the rest of the team, but, the new stadium factor against palace could see a big point haul. Is son good enough to cover?

      1. balint84
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        rather choose Alli or Eriksen

      2. Eric Banternaaa
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Ive gone for Son instead.

    8. balint84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Ward-Prowse or Westwood or Mcneill or Redmond or McArthur?

      nedds to play in gw33 and now twice!

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Romeu? Else I'd go with JWP

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        McArthur is a rotation risk in one of the next 3 in 8 days - he should get 2 matches anyway though.

        I'd go JWP or Brooks for the Burnley fixture

    9. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      1) Kepa, Dilva, Azpi
      2) Ederson, Son, Azpi

      Leaning towards 2 cause of double Chelsea defense but would like your inputs 🙂

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Agree with 2.

    10. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      FH Team.

      Kepa
      Laporte Lindelof AWB
      Pogba Sterling Son Hazard
      Kun Higuain Jiminez

      0.4 Short. Where to save the money? Bench is as cheap as possible, don't plan on none of team playing.

    11. balint84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      worth to hold a Palace defender in a wildcard?

    12. Football 365
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      G2g ?
      David de gea
      Luiz Lindelof schlupp
      Pogba Hazard (c) Sterling David Silva
      Aguero Higuain Batshuayi
      Fodder

    13. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I’m going double Man U and Chelsea defence and triple city attack what you think?

      De gea

      Smalling Rudiger Azpi Schlupp

      Sterling Pogba Hazard Dilva

      Aguero Bats

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Could pay off. Perhaps a tad light up front.

        1. Babit1967
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah I get you, just don’t want to find funds for Kane as I’m captaining kun so feel more balanced this way

    14. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      a) Lukaku + Jimmy
      b) Higuain + Rash

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        B
