The Watchlist Updated – Defence

With the reduced Gameweek 35 now behind us, we’ve updated our Watchlist rankings have been updated ahead of the remaining fixtures.

For those unfamiliar, the Watchlist offers mid-term player recommendations for the upcoming rounds of fixtures. They can be found in your sidebar on desktop, or via your slide-in menu on mobile or tablet.

These highlight our current thoughts on player selection for each position, listing the factors that contribute to their given rank.

Double Gameweek 37 understandably dominates our thinking, then, given that 12 teams will play four matches in the final three rounds of fixtures.

Our analysis gets underway with a look at the main contenders in defence, beginning with the goalkeepers.

The Goalkeepers

Man United’s David De Gea (5.9) remains at the summit of our standings for the run-in.

The Spaniard offers two home fixtures against Arsenal and Watford on either side of his trips to Brighton and West Ham in the penultimate round of matches.

With question marks over the make-up of Jose Mourinho’s back four, De Gea – the second most popular player in FPL, with an ownership of 44.67% – looks the safest route as he looks to add to a total of 17 clean sheets.

Only four keepers have made more saves than his total of 108, earning the Red Devils’ number one a total of 24 save points.

As a result, he leads the way among all goalkeepers and defenders on 161 points in FPL.

Although premium-priced alternatives Ederson (whu HUD & BHA sot) and Hugo Lloris (WAT wba & NEW LEI) have stronger schedules, few will be looking to invest in a Man City or Spurs keeper at this points, with more compelling options in defence and/or attack at both clubs.

Lukasz Fabianski is our preferred cut-price option as Swansea prepare to play three times at home (CHE bou & SOT STK) in the final three Gameweeks.

Five of the Welsh side’s last six clean sheet have been recorded in front of their own fans, while the Pole’s propensity for save points keeps his tally ticking over.

Fabianski has earned at least one save point in 24 of his 34 league outings, totalling 31 save points, and, at 4.7, looks the ideal partner for De Gea for those set to play their Bench Boost chip in Gameweek 37.

Newcastle United’s Martin Dubravka (4.5) is another budget option for Bench Boost managers.

The Magpies have conceded just one goal in their last four home matches and host West Brom this weekend prior to their Double Gameweek 37 (wat & tot).

The downside is that he’s not been kept as busy as Fabianski – the on-loan Slovakian has failed to collect a save in each of his last six outings.

Elsewhere, Kasper Schmeichel (5.1) is one of only two keepers – along with Thibaut Courtois (LIV & HUD) – to play at home twice in Double Gameweek 37.

Although they’ve kept just two clean sheets in their last six, the Foxes have allowed the opposition just 27 shots inside the penalty area – only Man City (15) have been more resilient.

Ben Hamer – at 4.3 – could come into contention for the visit of West Ham and Arsenal if the Dane fails to recover from the knock that forced him to miss the second match of Leicester’s Double Gameweek 34.

The Defenders

With his left-back rival Danny Rose still recovering from injury, Spurs’ very favourable schedule (WAT wba & NEW LEI) elevates Ben Davies to the top of our defender rankings.

The Welshman’s creativity is a big part of his appeal. Priced at 5.8, Davies has supplied 44 scoring chances for team-mates – at least nine more than any other backline rival – while no defender has earned more than his seven assists.

Indeed, having also found the net twice, Davies has been involved in nine goals this season – more than any defender in FPL.

Meanwhile, Spurs boast the third most resilient defensive record (31 goals against) in the top-flight and have recorded 14 clean sheets so far.

Should we hear news of Rose’s return to the squad for Monday’s tie with Watford, then it would be Jan Vertonghen who becomes the consideration, though there is every chance that Davies will still be handed starts in each of Spurs’ remaining three home matches.

Benched for each of the last two Gameweeks, we feel that Nicolas Otamendi will return to the Man City teamsheet as Pep Guardiola’s starts to ration the minutes of Vincent Kompany.

Ranked second only to Marcos Alonso for shots (31) and goals (four) at the back this season, the Argentine is also placed second for bonus points from the back, with 18.

The forthcoming schedule (whu HUD & BHA sot) looks very persuasive for those looking to invest in a defence that’s conceded fewer goals (25) than any side on their way to collecting 16 shutouts.

Otamendi is currently the most popular defender in FPL thanks to a 26.7% ownership.

Swansea’s aforementioned trio of home matches boosts the prospects of Alfie Mawson.

The centre-half has produced all of his attacking returns –two goals and an assist – at the Liberty Stadium this season, recording a total of 16 efforts in the box in 2017/18.

If you consider his cost of 5.1 somewhat lofty, though, Mike van der Hoorn (4.4) offers a cheaper option in defence, while Fabianski is also kinder on the budget in goal.

Having started each of the last 12 league matches, Chris Smalling currently appears immune to Jose Mourinho’s rotation at Man United.

The top transfer target in defence ahead of the weekend deadline by some distance, Smalling has earned over 32,000 new owners on the back of three goals in the last six league fixtures.

At 5.6, he looks an ideal partner for De Gea for those looking to double-up on the United defence, though with a spot in the FA Cup final now secured, Mourinho’s teamsheets may yet spring a surprise or two before the season is done.

With his team-mate Marcos Alonso still suspended until Gameweek 37, Cesar Azpilicueta is currently our favoured pick from the Chelsea rearguard.

The top-ranked defender for bonus points (22), Azpilicueta has turned in his most attacking season since arriving at Stamford Bridge, tallying two goals and six assists.

Certainly, three of the Blues’ remaining four matches (swa LIV & HUD new) look conducive to clean sheets although Antonio Conte’s men have struggled for resilience of late, mustering just a single shut-out in their last ten league outings.

Something to consider, then, given that Azpilicueta comes in at a hefty 6.9.

Ben Chilwell is our standout budget defender for the run-in.

Priced at 4.4, the left-back has usurped Leicester team-mate Harry Maguire in recent matches, tallying two assists and four bonus in the last five Gameweeks in addition to a pair of clean sheets.

Southampton’s Cedric Soares (BOU eve & swa MCI) and Brighton’s Lewis Dunk (bur MUN & mci liv) also offer attacking potential in the sub-5.0 bracket.

Soares has supplied two assists in three appearances under Mark Hughes, while Dunk has chipped in with a goal and assist over the Seagulls’ last six league outings.

Meanwhile, Paul Dummett offers little attacking potential but, at a cost of just 4.2, the Magpies full-back looks an ideal squad filler, particularly for those planning to Bench Boost in Gameweek 37.

    Top 1000 in ranking but still needed to fend off 1 manager in my PL to secure victory.

    I am leaning towards Van Dyke and Barnes to Davies and Ayew, do you think thats a good move, gets me more doubles for 37 too?

    DDG
    Smalling VanDyke Morgan
    Sterling Mahrez Salah Gudmunsson
    Kane Jesus Barnes

    Ryan, Mustafi, Tark, Gross

      Will you wait a week to give yourself 2FT or just do the VVD to Davies one this week? If so, looks good to me,

      1. Johnny too hotty
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        if i did both its a hit this week, if I want Davies I need to take the hit due to money.
        Part of me thinks Davies potential for points its worth it? will Live cleany?

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          It's a guess unfortunately. I'd probably do it but you need to prepare yourself mentally in case Spurs score 4 or 5 and then concede a silly one, plus Pool grinding out a 1-0 or 2-0. You've done very well this season so I'd back your own judgement rather than mine. Good luck!

      Could you do E:

      Mahrez --> Sterling
      Lukaku --> Jesus
      Murray -- J.Ayew

      for a -4 between now and before GW37?

      1. kinghenry14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        yep could also do it with willian instead of mahrez

        1. Sam1878
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          That sounds even better if you can do it with Willian instead then Mahrez.

          1. kinghenry14

            good idea cheers mate

    Even of Salah starts on Saturday, a lot of key players around him will be rested. In 37 he doesnt have a double. Is it time to say good bye to incredible Salah?

    1. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      if AE has him in their leaked lineup i‘d keep him

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I say he wants to break Rush's record

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Keeping and selling in GW 37

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Depends for me, if leaked news says he is out for the weekend, then its so long till next season.

    5. Sam1878
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      If the line up is leaked and both Firmino & Salah are starting, its a keep and captain for Salah I reckon.

  4. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Play DDG(H-Ars) or Pickford(A-Hud)?

    1. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      DDG

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Salah to play. He wants to score goals and break records. A cameo from Salah?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      He'll start

  6. Sam1878
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    What is the consensus regarding hits at this stage in season? With only 3-4 games left in the season is it harder to justify them i.e. the player you're bringing in has less opportunity to outscore the player sold, and hits to catch price rises are less important?

    I'm contemplating a -8 next week:
    Mahrez --> Sterling
    Vardy --> Jesus
    Ryan -- 3.9

    If I've got this right (and assuming that each player plays at least 60 mins each game), that means I'm gambling on Sterling & Jesus scoring 8 points more than Marhez & Vardy over the final 3 fixtures:

    Man City:
    Huddersfield (H)
    Brighton (H)
    Southampton (a)

    Leicester:
    West Ham (H)
    Arsenal (H)
    Spurs (a)

    Or is just Mahrez to Sterling for free the best move? Basically comes down to which combo scores more over the last 3 games:

    A) Sterling & Jesus (-8)
    B) Sterling & Vardy (-0)

    For info my team is (already took a -4 this week getting in Kane):

    DDG // Ryan
    Alonso // Lowton // Fernandez // Morgan // Duffy
    Salah // Mahrez // Son // Willian // King
    Kane // Vardy // Barnes

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I like B. Vardy is good enough to match Jesus

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Willian to someone like Kennedy/King and Barnes to Jesus possible?

      1. Sam1878
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Wouldn't be able to afford it unfortunately

    3. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I think it's unlikely Jesus outscores Vardy by 8 points over last 3 games.

      1. Sam1878
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        it's whether Sterling & Jesus outscore Mahrez & Vardy over the last 3 - not just Jesus (-8) vs Vardy.

    4. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      i personally wouldn‘t sell both leicester players so i‘d say b

      1. Sam1878
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Leaning towards that myself tbh - or at least see how the 4 players in question perform in GW 36 and make a decision then.

  7. davies
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Silva or Sane for 37?

    1. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      silva imo but everyone can be rotated by pep so you never know

    2. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      flip a coin imo. If Silva doesn't go back to Spain I think he will play a lot

  8. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Looks like I'll be priced out of a straight Mahrez-> Sterling transfer this week for a hit if I wanted to. With this team

    Ddg
    Vertonghen Smalling Alonso
    Mahrez DSilva Son Willian Lingard
    Kane Jesus

    ryan| Barnes Morgan Lowton
    0.3itb, 0ft

    Do you think it's worth doing either of these?

    a) Mahrez -> Sterling -4 this week
    b) Mahrez, Vertonghen -> Sterling, Davies -4 next week

    1. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'd do Mahrez -> Sterling for next week

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        so A), take the hit now?

        1. Walcoff life
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Ops, I meant I'd do it for free next week

          1. Point-one short
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            ah right. Trouble is, if Mahrez drops and Sterling rises again this week then I'm priced out of doing that move for free next week....

  9. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Why is everyone suddenly rushing to get Davies in... isn't he quite prone to rotation? Can't see him playing both matches in 37.

    1. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Rose is in conflict with the club so might not play

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      He's almost certain to play this week (Rose injured) so he might sit out the next match (wba) and play in the final two (NEW and LEI). Tempting.

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        has then been any update on whether rose is back soon? Vertonghen to Davies is tempting if Rose is out for the rest of the season....

    3. Dumpo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I agree. Spurs full backs have been a minefield this season, so why take the risk instead of just getting Vertongen in

    1. Walcoff life

      Mahrez -> Sterling

    1. Walcoff life

      5 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. Dumpo

      no - GT not guaranteed

    3. kinghenry14

      no imo

    4. fr3d
      • 6 Years

      Probably yes

  15. dimitros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso, Gross to Hunemeier, Eriksen for -4 this week?

    I also have Willian, Dunk, Ryan, Son and Kane from the above teams.

    1. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'd keep Alonso for DGW

    2. fkmzcgp
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Is your defence strong enough to have Hunemeier

      1. dimitros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I have
        DDG, Ryan
        Lowton, Cedric, Dunk, Morgan and Alonso

        1. dimitros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          But i don't rely a lot on the defence for the last weeks.

          1. dimitros
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            Also, if i keep Gross, he will set on the bench and i will play Wood, but if i get Eriksen, then Wood "wood" sit on the bench!

        2. fkmzcgp
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          up to you if you want to go top heavy then I guess, do you already have a city mid? Could get a decent defender wiht one of them

          1. dimitros
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            No City at all but i have an alternative option of :

            Alonso, Gross, Vardy to Hunemeier, Pogba, Jesus for -4

            Other option is Mahrez to Sterling since i have 0.3 ITB but i will need the 0.3 for the above options1

              In other words, what are the transfer suggestions for the below:

              DDG(Ryan)
              Alonso, Cedric, Lowton, Dunk, Morgan
              Salah, Son, Mahrez, Willian, Gross
              Kane, Vardy, Wood

                • 13 Years
                5 years, 11 months ago

                Gross & Willian --> King & Sterling for free before GW 37 and go 3-4-3?

                  5 years, 11 months ago

                  But Chelsea still has something to play for, no?

  16. Dumpo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Any immediate surgery needed with this lot (on a WC)?

    DDG - (Fabs)
    Verty - Cedric - Dummett (Yoshi - Chilwell)
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Gross (King)
    Kane - Jesus - JAyew

    I'm surprised that haven't seen Gross in many teams; hideous fixtures but Brighton have everything to play for still.

    1. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Solid. Can you downgrade Gross to say Kenedy, and get Alonso in maybe?

      1. Dumpo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        hadn't even considered Kenedy - could be very handy...

      2. fkmzcgp
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        don't get Alonso

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      If on a WC I would probably want Eriksen or Alli over Son

  17. fkmzcgp
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    A) Alonso, Willian and Barnes >> Davies, King and Jesus (would mean having to start Gross in DGW)

    B) Alonso, Willian and Barnes >> Cedric, Mili/Iwobi and Jesus (would mean I can start Mili/Iwobi instead of Gross)

    1. Dumpo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      A for me, but close

    2. Walcoff life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      B for me

  18. Z3US
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    What are the chances of Bailly starting - is it time to cut my losses on what must be the worst transfer decision of my season...

    1. Dumpo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      If on a wildcard definitely yes.

      If not then save, too late for losses to be cut.

      1. Z3US
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Alas not on WC

        Am planning to do Mahrez -> Sterling
        But thinking to add in a -4 and do Bailly -> Vert
        Will most likely do next week for a -4 anyway also

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          If you're going to do it next week anyway defo do it this week.

    Any pressers today?

  20. Tikka Mo Firmino
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    How does this WC team look?

    Chasing 41 points and BB in GW37

    Ederson Fabianski

    Bavies Smalling Yoshida Naughton Tomkins

    Eriksen Sterling Lingard Milivojevic King

    Kane Lukaku Jesus

    1. fkmzcgp
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good, but don't know how I feel about Lingard

  21. Totti
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    my team:

    de gea
    davies ward lowton
    salah son mehrez willian gudmundsson
    kane lukaku

    Ryan murray chilwell morgan

    1) Play lowton and double burnley defence or play chilwell and spread the risk
    2) play gudmundsson or murray

  22. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    With Mane being an injury doubt i'd say Salah is locked in to start

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      They should also test Bobby.

      Play Woodburn & Ings, with Solanke first reserve.

      Although they’re running out of players with Ox, Can and Lalama all oot

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        test or rest?

  23. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Which one would you play this week:

    A) Gross (bur)
    B) Milivojevic (LEI)

  24. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Can anyone tell me if Morgan was dropped injured or rested against Southampton?

      Anticipating Ben Mee news, I wish him the best in his recovery but it would be great for my team if he's out so Long plays!

  26. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Mane (limping) > Son for free?

  27. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Willian to D. Silva or Mahrez to Sterling?

    Chance of Giroud starting against Swansea? He played well against (a poor) Southampton and I'm chasing in my ML and looking for differentials! I am considering having him instead of Kane (I have Eriksen) and when I compared their stats over the last 2,4 and 6 matches, Giroud looked pretty good - the major question is on if he starts or not!

    I'm on WC right now

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Giroud over Kane...? I'll take Kane. Far too much uncertainty over whether Giroud will get even 1 start, and Chelsea not exactly shining at the moment. Find differentials elsewhere

  29. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    McCarthy
    Robertson Lowton Otamendi
    Salah Sterling Son Mili
    Firmino Auba Jesus

    Cech Lowton King Chilwell

    £4.5itb 1FT

    Bobby/Auba to Kane and gtg? Wait to see if Bobby starts. Happy with Long and Chilwell replacing Robbo and Otamendi if necessary

    Any other thoughts?

  30. No Pirlo No Party
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    To get Kane or not? That is the main question this week (and next) for me...
    Worth getting Kane just to block mini league rivals?

    Difference will be

    A) Alonso - Sterling/Eriksen - Jesus
    B) Vertonghen - Sterling - Kane (-4)

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      If you have healthy lead then blocking is a legitimate policy. Kane is playing as badly as Morata at the moment, but you just know he's going to go bonkers at some stage ..... even if it is next season!
