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.

More essential for a FH squad - Kane or Hazard?

The best squad I've come up with trying to fit both is below:

Ryan
Lindelof Dunk Schlupp
Sterling Hazard Pogba Kante
Aguero Kane Bats

If I drop one I can bring in Laporte/Luiz/Azpi/Ederson/Kepa combos on down back

Rash + Mili or Batman + Martial?

Leaning towards the latter at the moment as Rashford is playing on the wing and negatively oop.

Why has Alonso fallen out of favour with Sarri . Until GW23 he played 90 mins every match then it's been:

  Would’ve been dropped a lot sooner had a lot of us fans had our way. Very poor form and single-handedly responsible for a lot of goals conceded this season.
  
  In his defence, he’s a wingback and not a fullback, which is what Sarri uses.

  I prefer Duffy over Lindelof. Neither one will keep a cs, but at least Duffy has the goal threat. Not crazy about Laporte. I'd roll the dice and go for Otamendi. AWB a budget enabler?
