After 19 Gameweeks, which team has the weakest defense in the Premier League?!
As Gameweek 20 approaches, following 19 rounds filled with excitement and ups and downs, the overall picture of the Fantasy Premier League season has become much clearer. Some stars have proven to be essential assets, delivering consistent fantasy returns, while others have fallen short of expectations despite their high ownership.
At Fantasy 24 Club, we bring you in-depth analysis and Gameweek 20 tips to help you improve your squad and make smarter transfer decisions. In this article, we highlight the top-scoring midfielders in fantasy this season, along with defensive options that have shown why investing at the back can be the key to success in FPL. Most importantly, for this Gameweek, we break down the worst defensive teams in the Premier League this season—so you know exactly which teams to avoid when making your fantasy picks.
Wolverhampton
After 19 Premier League matches, Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded 40 goals—an average of two per game—while scoring just 11. The team has struggled defensively following the departure of key defenders such as Kilman and Aït-Nouri, along with injuries to Doherty. As a result, Wolves are in a difficult position, and signing any of their players would be a clear gamble—especially with relegation to the Championship looking increasingly likely.
Burnley
Despite having some relatively decent defensive names such as Humphreys, Esteve, Kyle Walker, and Tuanzebe, Burnley’s defense has been largely absent this season. The team sits second from bottom in the Premier League table and has conceded 37 goals in 19 matches. For fantasy managers, avoiding Burnley defenders is essential to prevent losing more points than you gain.
West Ham United
Although West Ham have strong defensive names like Kilman, Todibo, Mavropanos, and Wan-Bissaka, and have worked with high-profile managers such as Graham Potter (who has since left) and his replacement Nuno Espírito Santo, the team has struggled defensively. They have conceded 38 goals so far—an average of two per game. Unlike last season, when picking Wan-Bissaka or previously Coufal was a viable FPL option, signing a West Ham defender now would be a significant risk.
