Who are the best FPL defenders from Gameweek 6 onwards?

Which combination of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) defenders to own has been a big talking point of the opening few Gameweeks of the season.

Should Fantasy managers sell Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) to budget for the desirable premium forwards? Is a double-up on £4.0m defenders a wise move? Should we trust the underlying stats and invest in the Wolves backline even after their Gameweek 5 defeat to Brentford?

We asked the Scout Network for their thoughts on the best defenders in the £5.0m-and-under bracket and the more expensive purchases.

£5.0m and under

Learning from ‘The Great and The Good’ FPL managers – Gameweek 5 1

Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) has yet to register attacking returns but sits on an xG (expected goals) of 0.79 and an xA (expected assists) of 0.4 from four appearances. Wolves have been putting up decent numbers as a team but are failing to make the most out of it. With fixtures now looking great all the way into December, Semedo should be able to deliver upon the promise shown so far.

Meltens

Nelson Semedo looks the standout pick. Yes, Wolves were handsomely beaten by Brentford but many more teams will be embarrassed by Ivan Toney (£6.3m) this season. We’re happy that the result is just a blip and if we had the budget, would grab Semedo at the drop of a hat. His penalty area involvement is impressive and, with four decent fixtures, he’s a player with lots of potential. 

FPL Experiment Podcast

It’s difficult to understand when and why Matt Lowton‘s (£4.4m) price has decreased as he is only owned now by 1.5% of the field. But Burnley is a medium-plus range defence of the Premier League and is always a tough opponent at home with more clean sheet potential than, for instance, Leeds or Watford. This year, with assists from crosses in his arsenal and a friendly price tag, Lowton looks like a good rotating option in our defense.

FPL Froggies
Is Ben White the best FPL defender option at £4.5m?

Ben White (£4.4m) is without doubt one of the better sub-£5.0m options around with the fixture ticker a lovely shade of green and there’s a renewed steel about the Arsenal defence. Gabriel (£5.0m) and White look like their partnership could blossom and there is no doubt that Thomas Partey’s (£5.0m) return this week gives them extra protection, so at £4.4m I suspect he will grace many a Gameweek 7 Wildcard team.

Greyhead

After losing to Brentford in Gameweek 1, Ben White (£4.4m) was sold by many FPL managers, especially as he missed the next two games with Covid. But the England defender has since helped his team win back-to-back games without conceding. Barring their clashes with Tottenham (Gameweek 6), Liverpool (Gameweek 12) and Manchester United (Gameweek 14), they have a run of seemingly easy games until the end of the year (Gameweek 20) and I expect White to bring solidity to an Arsenal side that were hard to break in the latter part of last season.

Torres benched as Livramento nets a shock clean sheet at champions Man City 1

Tino Livramento (£4.2m) has shown impressive potential for a defender that started in the £4.0m price point. He has started all Southampton’s matches, in which the Saints accomplished two clean sheets. Additionally, he has created four chances and 12 crosses. Not only do his potential attacking returns make him attractive, he is owned by only 10.1%, and his low cost can free up funds for other FPL assets. In the following five matches, the Saints only have one difficult fixture from Wolves (H), Chelsea (a), Leeds United (H), Burnley (H) and Watford (a).

Bendito Fantasy

Timo Livramento has to be the best budget defender in the game right now. He started the season at £4m and has started every game. With the amount of premiums we are trying to fit in our squads, he is a very good enabler, in my opinion. Despite a tough opening five fixtures, Southampton have been able to keep two cleen sheets and concede just one goal from games against Manchester Utd, West Ham and Manchester City – three of the best attacks in the league right now. Southampton’s fixtures from Gameweek 6-12 are very good (bar Chelsea in Gameweek 7) so we can expect Livramento to rack more clean sheets and offer tremendous value.

Fantasy Chat
 1

Shane Duffy (£4.3m) is one of the top budget defenders after five games. He has 27 points, one Fantasy assist and two clean sheets. At his price point, he is a great enabler, freeing up budget for other premiums elsewhere. Over the next three games, Brighton play Crystal Palace (a), Arsenal (H) and Norwich (a) and are probably good for a couple of clean sheet over that spell. From Gameweek 9 they play Man City and Liverpool back-to-back; time to jettison him.

FF Titan

Shane Duffy has to be our value pick for the next three games. Travelling away to both Palace and Norwich, sandwiched around a home fixture against Arsenal, combined with Brighton’s strong start to the season and a price tag of £4.3m makes him a prime candidate to get into the Mini League Mate first XI.

Mini League Mate

Over £5.0m defenders

City have four clean sheets in five games and their defenders are set-and-forget options from Gameweek 8 onwards (barring any Pep roulette) due to their great run of fixtures. There’s no guessing what Pep might do, but it’ll be worth investing in the pricier pair of either Ruben Dias (£6.1m) or João Cancelo (£6.0m) for as much safety as possible. There’s not much to split them currently, as both have played every minute in every game so far and both have an assist, Dias just stealing a few more bonus points than his team-mate. There will be rotation once the Champions League kicks in but hopefully, with the pressure on, Pep will call on his trusted defensive pair more times than not in the Premier League.

FPL Nymfria

While no one is really “nailed” for Manchester City as we are all aware, João Cancelo has started all five games in the league so far and his the advantage of being able to play both on the left and right hand sides of the defence. His xG is 0.82 and xA is 0.86 so, even if the very short-term prospects could be dicey against Chelsea and Liverpool (both away), the medium and longer-term prospects of Cancelo continue to look great.

Meltens

It’s boring but can you ignore a player who has averaged 6.8 points per game and is £1.5m cheaper than Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m)? Ruben Dias faces tough opposition in Chelsea and Liverpool in the next two fixtures but Burnley in Gameweek 8 at home makes up for this, especially with the fixtures becoming much greener thereafter. Plus. with the likes of Dias and the City defence, the fixtures are less important because of the solidity of their backline.

Mini League Mate
Sarr underlines differential potential as Chelsea earn another clean sheet 9

It is starting to reach the point where we are just overthinking it when it comes to Marcus Alonso (£5.8m) this season. He has always had the potential to reach Trent Alexander-Arnold levels of returns but the game-time was the worry. Now he has started every match this season, produced four clean sheets, a goal and an assist in just five games and quite frankly, he was unlucky not to come out with 20 points against Spurs rather than 10. He plays for the best defence in Europe and the fixtures turn green starting from Gameweek 7. Sure, there can be the odd benching every now and then but if you have decent squad depth to cover this, the upside of owning him is too good to pass.

Fantasy Chat

Marcus Alonso. Answer me, why not? Without using the word rotation. Every man and his dog is aware of the lovely run of fixtures coming up for Chelsea from Gameweeks 7 to 12 – couple that with their defensive strength with four clean sheets already and the much-fabled swashbuckling ways of the Spaniard and you are onto a winner. He has created 12 chances already and appears to think he is a striker with nine shots, six of those in the box, so there are some potentially huge hauls coming his way. I am sure he will miss the odd game but there are enough cheap options this year to cover his absences and the upside is too good to ignore.

Greyhead
Mendy injury latest as Chelsea defence impresses again 1

Antonio Rüdiger (£5.5m) has started all five of Chelsea’s league games so far, recording a clean sheet in four of them besides scoring a goal. From Gameweeks 7 to 11, they have five easy games which bodes well for the London side’s tight defence while their Gameweek 6 opponents Manchester City can also be contained, which Southampton showed last weekend. For anyone using a Wildcard, the German is a ‘must have’ while people not taking a wildcard now should also aim to cash in on Chelsea’s excellent run of fixtures and transfer him in before Gameweek 7. 

FPL Poet

Over £5.0m, we’re looking at Chelsea assets for their fixtures from Gameweek 7 onwards. The challenge is choosing the Chelsea defender that won’t be benched! With that in mind Antonio Rudiger looks the best bet, especially if you have a playing bench option. Chelsea don’t tend to bring on centre-backs as subs, so if Rudiger is benched, there’s a strong chance he won’t come on and your bench option can fill in.

Salah on target as Liverpool assets prosper at Leeds 1

Trent Alexander-Arnold has delivered every season and has continued to do so this time, despite missing Gameweek 5 with an illness. The Liverpool right-back ranks highly in almost every creativity metric, including expected assists and successful crosses. When he returns, he will contribute significantly and is an absolute season-keeper. He is one of the first names on my squad at any given time of the season.

    I don't see myself so far from selling Lukaku/Ronaldo and getting like..
    TAA - James - Alonso - Dias - Cancelo

    C. Veltman (have Sanchez but starting Foster)
    D. Dier

    1. BrockLanders

      Probably B

  4. KirkhamWesham

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which is a better move?
    A) Raphinha out, Sarr in
    B) Greenwood out, Sarr in

    I have cover for Raphinha, if the latter is chosen.

      If you are 100% wildcarding next week I think I'd go there to replace Bamford but that's about it.

  8. Tshelby

    1FT - 2.9 ITB

    Sanchez - Foster

  10. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I’ve got 8.8 to spend on a forward now that Bamford is out. Who should I go for? Already have CR and Antonio.

    Jimenez/ASM seem to be the best options.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah those look like the two best picks. I'm leaning towards Jimmy atm.

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        How come you’re leaning towards him over ASM?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Stats and fixtures. ASM did look brilliant last week though.

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ASM for his form

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'll probably regret it, but went with Maupay. Fixtures good, on pens and Brighton are the strongest they have been under Potter.

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ASM

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku next week. Use your bench to cover this week. That's my plan at least.

  11. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on just getting Rodrigo now that Bamford is out? I imagine he’ll play up front. Once Bamford is back, can just swap back.

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bad choice imo. Go for Antonio or ASM imo

    2. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's not impressed, but fixtures look okay...

  12. Thewoodyhorse
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance of tsimikas starting against Brentford with the CL games coming up?

    1. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      NO not this week.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      nah, last weeks rest was obvious, but Robbo will play this one

  13. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Torres starting?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Coin toss

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Even if he starts, I don't see him getting more than 2-3 points

  14. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play marcal or livramento guys? I have Jimenez

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dont see how Jimenez factors in.

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        True. Which option do u reckon ?

      2. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sou play Wol. Some people would rather bet on the outcome through their player selection.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'd still play livra though as I think he has a higher chance of a clean sheet.

          1. Sailboats
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Ty im leaning towards him too

      3. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years

        Ty mate

    3. BoroPhil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd play Marcal as CS chance is pretty similar

  15. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1FT and 1.9 ITB

    A) Ayling -> Alonso
    B) Ayling -> Rudiger
    C) Save and take Chelsea defender next week

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling*, White

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rudiger all day

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years

      Alonso if you have a good bench, Rudiger if you don't.

  16. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Brownhill, Bamford**

  17. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For a one week only do you prefer Vardy (Bur home) or Ronaldo (Villa home)? Ta

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ron

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cr7

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      CR7

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is that because you all have the one Ronnie though?!

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Because it's Ronaldo.

          1. Bartowski
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Okay I'm sold

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              They're both great options, to be honest. United have looked really good at Old Trafford though.

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo. He's a different level of gravy

  18. KirkhamWesham
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which is the better move?
    A) Raphinha out, Sarr in
    B) Greenwood out, Sarr in

    I have cover on the bench.

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Id say B longer term

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B yep.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Risky selling Greenwood before his two decent home fixtures.

  19. ZiadHisham
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will reece james start against Man city?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got a 50% chance.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      if Tuchel opts for a 352 (with Mount out), there's a good chance. Otherwise, I doubt it. So about 40% chance he starts imo

    3. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For me yes

    4. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's in the predicted line up on here

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think he will. Tuchel seems to prefer Az at RWB against tougher opposition this season.

  20. Nightf0x

      Yes

  24. 2001: A Space Origi

    Not sure if he is on here, but have to say a well done to biggest points scorer for GW5: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3139954/event/5/
    Bench boost played, 144 points, and Arnold did not play, whoa!!!
    He also took a -8 Hit, which I wouldn't advise, so that has changed my thinking on that matter.
    Well done!!!

        • 13 Years

        They're called Snickers now.

      Think you know its A already.

    2. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  26. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do we have any idea yet if Villa will go 4 or 5 at the back now that Tuanzebe is out for them?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What would them going 4 or 3 at the back influence for you?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        They look much better with the 5 at the back. I'm still debating Ronaldo v Antonio as captain.

  27. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Bruno, Bamford -> Sarr, Lukaku -4
    B) Bamford -> Dennis
    C) Bamford -> Jimenez
    D) Bamford -> ASM

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do you have a bench option if you don't make the switch this week?

      1. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No, I have Raphinha and Ayling also

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think Bruno outscored option A with a -4 hit tbh. Well it'd a -2 hit really.

  28. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who look worse offensively? Southampton or Spurs?

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Big question. But Spurs for me as they don't know how to pass the midfield.

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have the same headache with Wolves in the mix as well...

      Spurs: worst attack in the league this season BUT Kane/SON
      Wolves: one of the best attack stats but can't score
      Southampton I don't know what to think about, look better without Ings somehow

  29. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Raph starting ?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There's a chance, yes.

    -whom to keep this gw ? jota or green (have ronaldo & salah)
    -4.5 mid. which? gilmour brownhill mcarthur

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 12 Years

      I think Greenwood is suffering with Ronaldo in the team in terms of goalscoring opportunities.

      Greenwood has the better fixture though.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood. He's playing at home and also has Everton at home next week.
