Best Defenders/Dan Burn Replacements ahead of FPL GW12

Best Defenders/Dan Burn Replacements in FPL

All Points (Expected points) mentioned are for the next 3 games(GW12-14) from DraftHound

Arsenal Defenders:

  • Arsenal defenders are the best option to consider – 2nd lowest xGC conceded, joint most CS(5)
  • Saliba £5.2m, 14.7 xPts – No-brainer if you have money &don’t have an Arsenal defender currently. 2nd amongst all defenders for xPts between GW12-14
  • Gabriel, £4.8m, 12.9 xPts – A slight rotation risk, but the rest might have been a one-off.
Expected points for defenders(Under 5.5 Million) Over the next three gameweeks from DraftHound(Subscribe to DraftHound with an exclusive 36% discount here)

Crystal Palace defenders

  • Palace defence have the joint most clean sheet this season(5)
  • Guehi(£4.6m, 11.4 xPts), Andersen(£5.0m, 12.1 xPts) & Mitchell(£4.5m, 11.8 xPts) are also good options with very little difference between them
  • Andersen xPts 6th highest amongst all defenders for GW12-14!

Everton defenders

  • Branthwaite(£4.0m, 9.7 xPts), Everton’s defence has been decent this season, the con is that he’s on four yellow cards one away from suspension. 
  • Tarkowski(£4.5m, 10.0 xPts) Alternative to Brantwaite from Everton and he offers decent  goal threat from set piece too 

Newcastle defenders 

  • Lowest big chances conceded(8) in the league so far 
  • Schar could be an option but he’s 5.2 Million. A tad expensive, xPts of 12.0 for GW12-14
  • Lascelles (£4.0m, 9.7 xPts) – Botman is injured for a while & Lascelles will continue to start regularly, Newcastle have the 3rd lowest xGC in the league. 
  • Livramento could emerge as an option at 4.3 million too, Trippier could start at LB and Livramento at RB. One problem is that there’s Lewis Hall (£4.3) too!

Man United defenders 

  • Maguire(£4.2m, 8.8 xPts) – Picked up a CS vs Fulham along with a bonus point, decent fixtures for Man United.
  • Dalot(£4.9m, 12.1 xPts) is also a good option if you want more attacking threat
  • Dalot xPts 7th highest amongst all defenders for GW12-14

Wolves defenders

  • Wolves are not an elite defence, only one clean sheet this season so far but have good fixtures. 
  • Dawson/(£4.5m, 8.5 xPts), a decent goal threat from set piece. Note that Dawson is on four yellow cards one away from suspension. Kilman (£4.5m, 8.2 xPts) decent option too

Bench fodder option: Baldock (£3.8m) – Cheapest starting defender currently, back from injury and got the assist vs Wolves but cannot expect regular points. He’s an option only if you want to save funds!
