FPL GW34 Scout Picks – Defenders

The defense is spearheaded by Arsenal double defense of Gabriel and Saliba. Arsenal are arguably the Best Defensive side in the league. Arsenal have the least xGC(22.69) in the league this season. To put things into context, Manchester City are ranked second with a xGC of 30.32 with almost a difference of 8.0 xGC between 1st and 2nd. We have gone with a Double Arsenal defense over due to the Higher Expected minutes and less chances of center backs getting a rest.

Arsenal Defensive Rank this season:

• xGC- 1st
• Big Chances Conceded- 1st
• xCS- 1st
• Clean Sheets- 1st

Matchup alert: Wolves and Chelsea are ranked 15th and 18th for Shots conceded from Set pieces this season. We all know how dangerous Saliba and Gabriel are on set pieces and they would like to most of this matchup.

Virgil Van Dijk completes the defense with a Double Gameweek vs Fulham(A), Everton(A). Liverpool are one of the teams with the best fixtures for the DGW and we can say that VVD is nailed to play 180 minutes as he has played 90 minutes every game since GW6.

They face Everton and Fulham in DGW34. Everton have been in poor scoring goal off late with just 10 goals from the last 15 games- Ranking 20th in the League for Goals scored. Fulham are also ranked 15th for Goals scored during this time. This increases the clean sheet odds for Liverpool in GW34 and makes him a great option.
