The best goalkeepers and defenders for Sky Sports Fantasy Football

With less than a week to go, the time is now to decide on which defenders will and will not make your Sky Sports Fantasy Football backline.

Goalkeepers and defenders are an integral part of any team, but they have become increasingly important in the art of Fantasy Football, and even more so in Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

Rewinding to the 2018/19 campaign, I reported that there were five defenders among the top 10 point-scorers in the game, but fast forward to last season, and there were four goalkeepers and defenders combined who achieved the same feat, those being Dean Henderson and the Liverpool trio of Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk.

There are some potential bargains, and there are some which will come out of the woodwork, but two, or three of these five defensive players should be at the heart of your consideration when building your starting XI.

John Egan – £7.2m

Claiming an impressive 146 Fantasy Football points in his debut season in the Premier League, John Egan was value-for-money during Sheffield United’s successful campaign. Even with an increased price tag of £7.2m, he comes in as one of the cheapest assets in defence who started the majority of games last season.

This is reflected in his selection percentage, which currently stands at 11.75%. The price caters to accommodate those bigger players in defence, but at one of the value or budget picks, you will not go too far wrong with Egan, a solid defender who kept 13 clean sheets last term, scoring twice and picking up two man-of-the-match awards too.

Virgil van Dijk – £10.9m

Liverpool's FPL defenders struggle as Arteta hands out Arsenal goalkeeper clues

For the second season in succession, Virgil van Dijk recorded the most points out of any of the defenders, and of any player in Sky Sports Fantasy Football, despite racking up 31 points less (268) than he did in 2018/19 (299). This does still equate to 7.1 points per game, a fitting average for the most expensive defender, his price inflating to £10.9m for the new season.

It does not seem to have put many off, with van Dijk making it into 32.37 per cent of Fantasy Football teams. With 15 clean sheets, five goals, and hitting tier two passing bonus points (70+) on 21 occasions last season, it seems that even £10.9m is not beyond the extreme to have the Dutch skipper in your side.

With just four games to navigate before the Overhaul (unlimited transfers within the £100m budget for a set period of time), van Dijk looks a good route to get your season off and running emphatically, starting with new boys Leeds on Saturday, despite Chelsea and Arsenal following afterwards.

Nick Pope – £6.7m

The Burnley stopper registered a whopping 215 Fantasy points last season, just three behind Dean Henderson, who topped the charts. Nick Pope kept 15 clean sheets, just the one behind Ederson who claimed the Golden Glove. He has since earned an England call-up off the back of his solid performances between the sticks.

Burnley’s ever-resolute defence only let in 50 goals last campaign, and this level of consistency is expected to continue next year. After a tough trip to Leicester on the opening day, Burnley face Southampton and Newcastle before the international break.

Pope tallied tier one bonus points (three or more saves) on 15 occasions and tier two (five or more saves) six times, so even when clean sheets may be hard to come by, there will still be averages coming in from your number one.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – £10.6m

Trent Alexander-Arnold finished fourth in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football charts last campaign with 245 points. He made double figures with assists for the second consecutive season, ending on 13 from that department. Trent cruised his way to the Young Player of the Year award, and is set for another enjoyable term in the red of Liverpool.

Perhaps it is the fact that the English full back comes into the game £0.3m cheaper than his teammate Virgil van Dijk is the reason behind a higher selection percentage, which stands at 37.07 per cent. Will Alexander-Arnold make it into your starting XI for the opening day?

Kieran Tierney – £8.1m

We really started to see the best of Kieran Tierney towards the back end of last season, and the Scotsman played his part in Arsenal’s FA Cup final success. With a pre-season under his belt, he should be fit and raring to go ahead of the new campaign.

His statistics may not look the most promising, but his ability to get down the flanks and right to the byline before delivering inch-perfect crosses should account for an upturn in assists from defence. As well as this, Arsenal’s defence should (should) be a bit more solid and sturdy with William Saliba coming back from his loan spell and the introduction of Gabriel, so clean sheet points could be easier to come by.

Only a short period of time awaits until the first match of the season, with Fulham hosting Arsenal at Craven Cottage. 

Change and amend your team, and who knows, you could land yourself the £50,000 jackpot!

    Trying to pick a spurs defender. Preferably LB or RB.

    Can’t pick Doherty with Aurier there.

    Is Davies nailed? ( worried about Rose )

    1. rahuld13
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.So is Doherty. Aurier is on his way out.
      Doherty Dier Toby Davies

      1. No Salah
        • 6 Years

        Thanks a lot! Didn’t know this.

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Doherty is nailed.

    3. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep think Davies and Doherty should be nailed!! Both good options

  2. iL PiStOlErO

    Ramsdale Nyland
    TAA Lascelles Justin KWP Mitchell
    Salah Auba Son Bissouma Romeu
    Vardy Werner Davis

    Cheers.

    1. Heskey Time
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If I was playing a back 4 I would want some better defenders.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Me too but dont have any money left. For this price I think they are at least starters and have decent games in beginning.

        1. Heskey Time
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Obvious downgrade is vardy but assuming you really want him. Maybe son to Havertz or alli

        2. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Do son to Alli

    2. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Think have got a few too many budget players for me!! Would not be relying on one of davis/bissouma/Romeu/Mitchell every week, and would have to start three 4.5 defenders as well. Guess you wanna squeeze in those 5 premium attackers but deffo worth sacrificing one for a more balanced team imo

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There's nothing wrong with going with 4.5 defenders (or less), but Justin & Mitchell are no goes for me as their days in the team are numbered and you don't want to be wasting transfers on such players.

  3. Heskey Time
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Oliver Burke to Sheffield confirmed and only 4.5 looks like some upside compared to other 4.5 options. Any Sheffield fans know much about game time?

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      has to be a bench/impact player.
      Doesn't exactly fit into a 5-3-2

      1. Heskey Time
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If he can submit a spot in the front 2 or even an impact sub think that might be worth just having. Thanks.

  4. mlm

    McCarthy (4.0)
    TAA Doherty KWP (4.0 4.0)
    Salah Auba(c) Son ASM (4.5)
    Werner Mitrovic Adams

    GTG? What can do with the ITB 1.0?

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Upgrade one of your 4s to a 4.5

      1. mlm
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No much good option for 4.5 right now, i think i would keep playing KWP with Mitchell as backup in coming few GWs

        1. Apwilkin
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Mitchell will have likely lost his spot by GW2 or 3. Why not grab Taylor? Nailed and in a stronger defense.

        2. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You’re nuts. There are loads. Taylor is good, but also look at Leeds

    2. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doherty to Robbo for me

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Upgrade a 4.0 to Saiss or Egan.

  5. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Madness altogether? 3.5 ITB for Barnes > Bruno GW2

    McCarthy

    TAA, Doherty, KWP

    Auba, Havertz, Dele, Barnes

    Werner, Adams, Nketiah

    Subs: Button, Taylor, Mitchell, Burke

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like you have Dele + Barnes - both in my current draft and surprised I'm not seeing them anywhere else. I'm worried about Barnes though, is he definitely nailed? At least the first 2 GW's since I'm planning a GW3 wildcard.

      Beyond that I think Nketiah and Adams are unnecessarily risky when Wilson, Mitrovic exist. at similar price point

    2. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looking good!! Would probably go with someone like Son for Bruno placeholder but guess you want a punt

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too many punts from the off - Barnes, Dele, Havertz, Nketiah - and little bench cover for them.

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is Dele a punt?

        1. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          For me, yes. We're pretty certain Son and Kane will start and where they will play, Dele less so. And I think all Spurs players are a punt to a certain extent, everyone is trusting in Mourinho's fabled 2nd season uptick which may or may not materialize. Towards the end of last season was anyone really picking a spurs player other than Son?

  6. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who scores more points
    Salah/Auba and Brewster (loan)
    or.
    Havertz/Pulisic and Alli
    ?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably 2 but these direct comparisons dont always help, you have to consider the captain situation as well imo

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Big ? next to Havertz and Brewster GW1 so can't answer really.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Soucek(doesn't have to play gwk1) and Ings + 0 5m to get Martial

    Or

    James and Mitrovic no Utd plan??

    1. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      James and mitro probs if starting every week

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Defo the 1st one for me.

  8. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    bottomed....any help much appreciated.

    0.5 ITB for Ings > Martial

    Ryan Walton
    TAA KWP Taylor Dier Mitchell
    Salah Aubameyang Greenwood ASM Soucek
    Kane Ings Brewster

    1. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looking decent mate!! McCarthy over Ryan maybe but guess factored decision with kwp. Just a heads up if you didn’t know that Soucek will probably miss gw1 due to coming into contact with coronavirus with Czech team and guess would want to use him as greenwood cover first week!!

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Mate.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice, personally not a Kane fan but thats a good team.
      If Soucek is never playing for you then him to 4.5 and Ryan to Ramsdale?

    3. magnet
      • 8 Years

      best team I've seen

      1. Roy Rovers

        Thanks to both of you.

    4. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Obv monitor Sancho & Brewster news, if still undecided I'd be reluctant to include Greenwood and the Liverpool man.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Greenwood > Foden and Brewster > Adams????

        1. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Foden is too punty for me at this stage, and City's fixtures aren't great.

  9. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years

    Who starts for Leicester Thomas or Justin?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Honestly, not a fan. Overspending in attack leave you with weak defense. Rich at that price? Really? And why have both Auba and Salah? Just put the armband on one and look for value picks elsewhere. Just my two cents.

  11. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Leeds fans? Who's the best defender from a FPL perspective? And how nailed is Douglas?

    1. southernrocker1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is a question I've wanted an answer to as well. Owning Mitchell is becoming less desirable by the day

  12. Joggers Nipple

    Excuse a huge post but even just typing this out helped, any major preference/ hate for A or B?

    Son/ Salah/ Auba/ ASM
    Werner/ Mitro
    4.0 GK/ Greenwood/ Taylor/ 4.0 Fwrd 0 ITB
    Medium term ideas= Risk Greenwood with Sancho news?, limp through GW 1, Son to CH mid later, Auba to MC mid, cash for Mitro to 6.5 or 4.5 def up

    Team B
    Ramsdale
    TAA/ Davies/ /KWP/ Mitchell

    ASM - everyone seems to have him but I still have Armstrong. Owners of ASM please convince me! His gametime worries me - is that a legitimate concern?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For me that 5.5 place is a bit of fun, great if it works out, no drama if it doesnt. Im on ASM as a punt, new signings swayed it a bit. Also i have a SOT player already and just want to be interested in more teams/ games

      1. southernrocker1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I have Ings as well but no other toon attackers, overkill with Armstrong?

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Honestly dont know! Dont feel theres a correct answer here, as I said at 5.5 its no drama if it doesnt work out.

    2. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years

      As a NUFC fan I can tell you plays when he isn’t injured. By far our best attacking player last year.

      1. southernrocker1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Was he benched much or were his overall minutes just down to injuries?

  15. Kevtheotter

    Ryan

    Werner DCL Wilson

    Walton Reed Taylor 4.0

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Its ok, I just really really dont like DCL, maybe just me
      DCL to to 4.5 gives 2.5
      Reed to 5.5, KWP to def to 5.0/5.5 def and Ryan to Ramsdale. If that works cash wise?

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers.

        Feel like everyone writing off DCL and really don’t want to 352/442 as no 4.5 striker to actually play.

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years

    Firs time of posting my draft, just looking for opinions guys, anything you would definitely change? I’ve stuck with this for the better part of a week now.

    McCarthy
    Davies - TAA - Coady

    I’d like Ings, but is it worth downgrading at the back for? Hmm, deadline drawing nearer, decisions! 🙂

    Cheers matey’s.

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks really nice. I wouldn’t expect much for your 5.5 mids though. Have you looked at Pereira at 6.0?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers bud, yeah me neither, having two 5.5 mids is a little off putting i guess and the area that may need changing.
        I have looked at Periera but would rather have a wait and see from him and West Brom in general.

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks pretty good. What the reasoning behind DCL? I personally dont rate him too much after a poor end to the season but I see him in a lot of drafts recently

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks man, DCL....i guess it’s just the orice point really, and how their beginning fixtures have fallen are kinda nice, with the James signing on top of that, i just think he’ll want to kick on with a better season, his position could change before deadline thoigh for sure.

  17. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My squad is pretty much set, the hardest decision is Martial vs Werner.

    All week I've had Martial on the bench (not ideal) although at the moment I'm on the Chelsea man as I'm planning to get in Bruno GW2. But I can see Martial tearing it up in GW2-3, coupled with the likely price increase (being a Man U player) so I'm thinking that even if Werner scores in GW1, it may be prudent to take a hit for Martial as the chances are that even if Werner scores his price may drop and a 0.3+ swing between the two is not out of the question, and if Werner blanks it could be carnage. I know you should not blindly chase value but Bruno and Martial look golden opportunities to make a few pennies from the off and have good fixtures.

    What do you think?

    A) Start with Werner and take a hit for Martial GW2 if Werner blanks.
    B) Start with Werner and take a hit for Martial GW2 even if Werner scores.
    C) Bench Marital for Saiss and wait and see on Werner.

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m aiming to have Martial and Werner for gw2. Who are you your other forwards?

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson and a 4.5. Playing 4-4-2 most weeks with a stong-ish bench.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martial imo, and change to Jimmy in gw3 unless timo becomes really irresistible

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don't see the point of selling Werner in GW2 if you start with him. His good fixtures basically start from GW3 and you're selling before that?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agree. Same with people selling son for bruno in gw2 before NEW in GW3.

        1. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Just worried that by the time I get a utd player in Bruno will be 11 and Martial 10.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years

      It's an interesting question and made me think. I also had martial originally but decided to switch him to ings with 0.5m in the bank so I've now got Ings, Werner, Wilson

      Perhaps it's actually a viable strategy to go Werner -> martial for GW2 and then Ings -> Werner for GW3

      Bit of a luxury transfer though considering there will be a lot of other players to look at from the GW1 blankers.

        Yeah KDB is earmarked for my 2nd transfer, think his value will shoot up too.

    Who is a better 2 weeks punt, ASM or Bowen?

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saka if it’s a two week punt

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Nketiah here 😉

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Then go for Bowen

      Bowen, asm isn't a punt

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Indeed

    Playing around with a 352. 0.5itb to go Ings to Martial in GW2. Thoughts?

      Willian too pricey for rotation risk.. 1 Leeds defence is enough imo. Rest I like, against the template

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You don’t think Willian is nailed? I’d be surprised if he isnt. He could always be turned into Alli.

        I’m planning a gw3 wildcard, so keen to double up on Leeds defence for gw2 against Fulham.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Not really nailed atm.. but maybe as the season goes he'll be a regular starter.

          Could work if you're certain with that wc n gw3

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Lewis over Lascelles? Not a fan of Willian.

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It’s between William and Alli for that spot. As I’m planning on an early wildcard the Arsenal fixtures got me keen on Willian, especially as hell likely be on set pieces.

        I’ll check out Lewis

    Which 5.0 mil Sheffield Utd defenders are nailed?

  21. sozopol

    Maupay (6.5), Wilson (6,5), or Adams (6.0)! Already have Ings

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Take a punt on Nketiah like me

      1. sozopol
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        oooooh

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson

  22. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best option

    A) Bruno, Mitrovic

    B) Alli, Martial

    First option saves 0.5m aswell.

    Thanks.

  23. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years

    Thoughts? Nketiah a two weeks punt as i don't have Auba, will become another 6.0 or Wilson/Antonio potentially, can also be benched as Greenwood on bench. Pulisic still a 50/50 will wait for presser.

      Feeling Eddie atm.. Let's do this

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah i have a good feeling about Eddie.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yep really good double up with auba for first 2 GWs at least

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I'm going without Auba, so thinking Eddie is some "cover" at least.

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Could work, but no auba in GW1 is massive 'gamble'. Good luck!

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years

      Not a huge fan of Richarlison, Puli will get reduced minutes coming back from injury and not sure Nketiah is worth the risk. Can’t imagine him getting a whole lot of time either.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Should get minutes with lack of Lacazette preseason?

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe. If he gets benched straight up you’ll be kicking yourself. Not sure I’d want the stress. But each to their own!

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Wouldn't be that disappointed. Have Greenwood on bench and Nketiah can become another 6.0 or upgrade to Antonio/Wilson after a few ganeweeks.

    Any chance that Anthony Gordon breaks through at Everton this season?

    1. Botman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If they play a 4-4-2 there's definitely a chance he competes with Bernard for minutes. But with the new signings a 4-3-3 definitely looks favourable in which case Richarlison will be on the left ruling Gordon out as an option.

  27. cjscouser

    Will Bowen start for West Ham?

    1. Botman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yep I'd say so. He's in good form at the moment so his spot to lose.

    Fellas who is a good placeholder for Greenwood GW2?
    Currently looking at Saka (will he start) and Bowen

    1. FPL Bond @ Twitter
