FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW28 PLAYER RANKINGS – DEFENCES AND DEFENDERS
GW28
GW28 is FA Cup quarter final week. Games involving teams in the quarters have been postponed leading to a much reduced fixture list.
Here’s the GW28 fixtures as they stand on the FPL site:
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 5 fixtures to the potential DGW34 thats upcoming. 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 Thursday. Use this link if you’re interested in what the top 10 FPL managers I follow have as defenders
You will see I’ve added a new column showing which teams have risen and rank from the last week. This gives you a feel of recent form
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 in my view are:
Everton – Coleman £6.0m or Funes Mori £4.7m if you’re struggling for cash
Liverpool – Lovren £4.8m
COMMENTS AND CHEAPIE WATCH
Man City – £4.7m Stones despite the rotation last week still remains great value.
Man Utd – £4.7m CB Jones returned to the team. He is a rotation risk with 3 competitions in play and Smalling , Bailly and Rojo all playing CB but doesn’t seem to be a 89th minute coming on as sub risk
Spurs – LWB Davies at £4.7m is outstanding value. Regular starter Rose is supposedly back for GW30 but he has a injury history and that has to be doubtful
Southampton – £4.0m CB Stephens is outstanding value but I can’t help thinking that new signing Caceres can’t be far off starting. Yoshida at £4.3m looks worth the extra cash
Middlesborough – injuries. changing formations and changes of personnel all make them a hard side to lineup predict apart from Gibson at £4.9m. He though doesn’t look a value or attacking pick. I’ve left them blank for the moment
West Ham – £5.1m CB Reid faces a late fitness test which is why he’s not included. £4.2m Byram still doesn’t seem certain to start at RB
C Palace – Attacking LB Van Aanholt is out only to GW30 which is why I haven’t included Schlupp as the attacking defender option
Hull – £4.4m CB Maguire is a great attacking option but faces a challenge for his place when Davies and Dawson are back in GW30.
