Five defenders to pick for your Official Fantasy Premier League Football team

Without a doubt, collecting the bonus points from your Fantasy Premier League defense at the end of the week is the sweetest feeling you can get while playing this addictive game. Choosing the right defenders usually proves to be essential for a healthy and competitive team, so here are five defenders you can pick for your 2018 Fantasy Premier League soccer team:

Kyle Walker – £6.5 m

The 6th best defender in Fantasy Football last year regarding points is a must-have if you want to add some expensive players in your defensive line. Kyle Walker enjoyed a successful season where first he won the Premier League with his new team Manchester City, which was followed up by a brilliant performance for England at The World Cup in Russia. Loads of points are on the horizon if Walker picks it up from where he left it.

Cezar Azpilicueta - £6.5 m

Last year’s top scoring defender is another potential signing which might bring an enormous number of points. Assuredly established as a first option in the Chelsea team, Azpilicueta will be enjoying his time on the right side under Maurizio Sarri’s offensive 4-3-3 formation. This kind of structure is always beneficial for full backs as they are becoming an even more significant threat, taking full advantage of the heavy roaming in midfield. An experienced fullback like Azpilicueta will undoubtedly recognize this opportunity, which means an exciting season for his followers.

Seamus Coleman- £5.5 m

The offensive Everton full-back seems to finally get rid of the nightmare injuries, suffered throughout last year. Coleman played only 12 Premier League games as he spent half of last season recovering from a broken tibia picked up while playing for the Irish national team. However, under new manager Marco Silva, Coleman might poise for a fresh start down the right side, as the Portuguese are known for his tendency to instruct constant overlapping of his full backs. This style is the perfect fit for 29years old, and he’ll be eager to take all the benefits to his name.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - £5.0 m

The England right-back is set to start in front of Nathaniel Clyne, at least at the beginning of the season and with a price tag of only £5.0 m, he might be the best value for money out of all the defenders in the league. With Klopp spending a real fortune trying to bolster his defensive holes, besides assists, Alexander-Arnold will undoubtedly add clean sheets to his Fantasy Premier League account.

Sol Bamba – £4.5 m

Standing 6 ft 3 tall, the Cardiff center-back will undoubtedly be real aerial supremacy in the Premier League this season. Having just gained promotion in the first rank, Bamba and his colleagues will be hungry for collecting points since day 1. Bamba scored four goals in the Championship last season and might add a few more when he opens his Premier League account. He is the cheaper option; you must have on your team.
