fantasy premier league GW32 best defenders and defences

Here’s my view for the fantasy premier league GW32 best defenders and defences. It’s a new format with more info to help you make an assessment for your team. I’ve used a number of stats, actual and underlying. I’ve kept with the blended home and away version rather than splitting them out. There’s also the premium attacking defender and the value defender plus the recent clean sheet form

I’ve provided the information in a very simple table form with a few general notes below and an attempted explanation for any surprises. I’ve tried to sacrifice some value and attacking where there isn’t a decent amount of gametime security. Obviously in the top 4 challenging teams the squad sizes and the number of games sees that rotation can be a risk so it’s impossible to be 100% .

I’ve also added my fixture ease ranking as a proxy for defensive fixtures although it is intended as an attacking fixture check.

 The stats are over the season although clean sheets over the last 6 are a proxy for recent form.

In the narrative I’ve tried to deal with a cheapie watch and injury issues which will help you make an assessment on your view of the best transfer. I also touch on the GKs where relevant.

Arsenal – Gabriel is the key to value here although even if he starts in GW32 you can’t rely on him playing both the doubles with Mertesacker in the wings.

Tottenham – Looking strong defensively but only Alderweireld is certain in the back 4 and he is nursing an injury.  Dier looks to have cemented a CDM place though and he’s the value

Man Utd – Rojo looks the value here but worth checking he starts in GW32 before the doubles.  GK DeGea is also not too badly priced

Man City –  With Kompany injured they are weakened.  Otamendi looks the safest and most expensive option.  Everyone else is rotatable.  Mangala could provide value at £5.3m so worth checking if he starts in GW32. However UCL games could see rotation with Demichelis in any case so no guarantees.

Liverpool – GW32 may shine some light on the preffered lineup although rotation with the Europa League could still cause problems.  At the moment Clyne seems the safest pick apart from Mignolet but even Clyne is rotatable.

Leicester – Simpson is the cheapie. Then it’s a choice between the attacking potential of Huth and the bonus magnet that is Fuchs

Southampton – No value here with any certainty.  It’s the £5.5m ish gang of VVD, Bertrand and Fonte or no one.

Watford – A solid cheap option with players all at similar prices. No really attacking option though. The GK Gomes is a reasonably priced option

Chelsea – unlucky with the lack of recent clean sheets.  However even the cheap options are expensive

WBA – Pulis seems to have struggled here to replicate his defensive magic.  Dawson is the limitless funds option.  Olsson os the cheapie but really hard to guarantee security of his position

Stoke – Wollscheid seems the nailed cheapie. Everyone else is a little hard to predict.  With GK Butland out for the season Haugaard looks the likely reserve at £4.4m

West Ham – Collins at £4.3m looks like he could provide some value.  GW32 should provide some clues.

Everton – GK Robles at £4.3m is the choice here or maybe Jagielka.  Everyone else seems a massive attacking returns gamble with little defensive foundations.  However if you’re ever going to gamble 3 DGWs are it

C Palace – It’s the £4.3mish crew of Ward and Delaney vs the attacking potential of Dann at £5.7m

Bournemouth – Again the cheapie Francis vs the attacking potential and penalty duties of Daniels

Swansea – Rangel should be the safe £4.1m cheapie but Williams is the bonus point monster and secure gametime option

A Villa – A defensive disaster in the worst possible form

Newcastle – GK Elliot as a cheap DGW GK.  Benetiz is the hope that they can become defensively solid.  Alot of injuries are causing uncertainty including the attacking option of Janmaat at £4.8m

Norwich – packing 10 men into the penalty area seems to be working with new acquisition Klose the star.  Over the season they have been a disaster but too consecutive clean sheets give some DGW37 hope

Sunderland – recent acquisitions and some performances give them some hope of stemming the tide.  Kone if fit has value and an attacking threat
