Best Defenders To Pick In Fantasy Premier League GW30

Gameweek 29 of the Fantasy Premier League was a blank gameweek before the international break. Given the break, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup fixtures congesting the calendar, these coming games will be a welcome reminder of the qualities of Premier League football. Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United was the top scorer last time out with 17 points.

Top 5 Best Defenders to Pick in Fantasy Premier League GW30

5. Ola Aina – Nottingham Forest | 122 points | £5.4m

Ola Aina and Nottingham Forest are having an excellent Premier League season. They currently hold the 4th spot in the standings, and the Nigerian fullback has been exceptional for them. No defender in the league has gathered as many points as Aina, a figure that underscores his caliber. Along with the 12 clean sheets that Forest has accomplished, Aina also contributes offensively, scoring twice this season already. He has also earned numerous bonus points. This weekend, Forest confronts a struggling Manchester United team, offering even greater points potential for Aina. Forest is also aiming for a UEFA Champions League position and will be working hard to finish the season on a high note.

4. Dean Huijsen – Bournemouth | 71 points | £4.5m

Dean Huijsen has undoubtedly been the young standout defender of this season so far. At just 19, Huijsen has certainly made a name for himself in the Premier League. Trained by Juventus and released for some unclear reason despite his strong performance at Roma last season, he has developed an impressive skill for headers during set pieces, resulting in goals against Spurs and Manchester United. He even made his international debut for Spain this weekend. Bournemouth’s performance has elevated them to 10th place and they will be striving for Europe this season, with another promising week ahead as they take on Ipswich Town.

3. Daniel Munoz – Crystal Palace | 112 points | £5.1m

Even though Crystal Palace had a rough start to the season, they have demonstrated progress lately. Taking into account their approach under manager Oliver Glasner, they heavily depend on their wingbacks and right wingback Daniel Munoz has emerged in outstanding form. The Colombian, who arrived last season, has been effectively placing himself for scoring chances. He already has 3 goals and 5 assists and displays no clear indications of reducing his performance. Crystal Palace is up against struggling Southampton this weekend, which bodes very well for the enthusiastic wingback.

2. Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool | 135 points | £7.3m

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be available on this list for each gameweek, primarily due to his reputation as one of the greatest Fantasy Premier League assets of all time. Among defenders, he is considered one of the most significant based on his cost and the points he has gathered. With reports indicating that he may have reached an agreement for a transfer to Real Madrid on a free deal this summer, it is still unclear how the Liverpool fans will respond to him in the future. Nevertheless, he has provided strong performances in most games, aiding in 7 goals. The points might come in again this weekend in a challenging match against Everton, who have frequently faced difficulties this season while Liverpool aims to maintain their impressive performance this season and remain at the top of the table.

1. Josko Gvardiol – Manchester City | 106 points | £6.0m

Josko Gvardiol was often included on this list at the start of the season until a drop in performance impacted Manchester City, and this has continued since that time. A single victory in 13 matches across all competitions represented an especially poor run, and Gvardiol’s individual contributions haven’t been particularly remarkable, especially defensively. Nonetheless, there has recently been a change with improved performances over the last month overall. Additionally, the fact that Gvardiol frequently seems to be City’s most threatening player in the opponent’s penalty box makes him an attractive differential option for this week. Is a significant comeback anticipated from Gvardiol against Leicester City this weekend? It can certainly be anticipated.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 30, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Both sides haven’t had a very good season. Chelsea started well but have struggled in this calendar year, and their objective will be Champions League qualification. Spurs have had a downright poor season and will be looking to climb as high in the table as possible.

The deadline for GW30 is on 1st April.
