FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW27 PLAYER RANKINGS – BEST DEFENCES AND DEFENDERS
GW28 and Potential DGW27
GW28 is FA Cup quarter final week. Games involving teams in the quarters will be postponed leading to a much reduced fixture list.
Here’s the GW28 fixtures as they stand on the FPL site:
Man City v Stoke (Man City v Huddersfield replay is 1 March) – Man City need to lose the replay for the fixture to stand in GW28. If Man City win the fixture would be moved to GW27 as announced by the Club
THE BEST VALUE AND ATTACKING DEFENDERS
So here’s the table. Effectively I’ve ranked the defences taking into account their defensive stats strength. Added to the table is the rank of easiness of the upcoming next 4 fixtures. Use this link to see the full article on fixture ease. I’ve then given you the best value defender and the best attacking defender. Values are as of Wednesday. If you’re interested in what the top 10 FPL managers I follow have as defenders use this link.
BEST TRANSFERS
Looking at the optimum combination of strong defence at an appropriate value, good fixtures and good odds then the best transfers for this gameweek are:
Alonso Chelsea £6.8m (you have to sacrifice a place for GW28)
Valencia Man Utd £5.6m (you have to sacrifice a place for GW28)
Mawson Swansea £4.5m
If Man City get a DGW then Stones at £4.7m is worth the transfer
INJURIES
Vertonghen, Chambers and Maguire are injury doubts and need to be monitored. All 3 are expected to be ok for GW27
The situation at Middlesboro is a little confused by recent and current injuries so I’ve stayed clear of making nominations
CHEAPIE WATCH
Southampton – The acquisition of Caceres could put £4.0m Stephens gametime at risk although he started the EFL
Arsenal – £4.7m LB Gibbs started again for Arsenal and Monreal started against Sutton. Blanks don’t help but worth monitoring post GW28
GW27
Here’s the fixtures on the site as of the time I write this
