Van Hecke ( 4.5m)
Brighton defender Van Hecke has been one of the Premier League’s most goal-scoring defenders over the past three seasons. He defends resolutely, contributes to attacks, and fights until the final whistle, making him a key pillar of Brighton’s squad. So far, Van Hecke has earned 69 points in 18 matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist. His upcoming fixture is against a team that struggles both offensively and defensively, giving him a strong 70% chance of keeping a clean sheet.
Gabriel ( 6.4m)
Gabriel Magalhães has returned from injury in top form and is arguably the best defender in the Premier League right now. In his last match for Arsenal against Aston Villa, he scored and assisted, earning 15 fantasy points—possibly his best performance yet. Despite facing a tough opponent like Bournemouth in the upcoming fixture, he’s a must-have for your squad. Gabriel is a guaranteed starter for Arsenal and undoubtedly one of the most important defenders in the league.
Tarkowski (5.6m)
Everton’s Tarkowski has been David Moyes’ most reliable defender in recent seasons. Remarkably, he has already accumulated 93 fantasy points without scoring a single goal! That alone highlights his consistency. He is arguably the best defender in the Premier League after Gabriel this season. In Gameweek 20, Tarkowski faces a tough but beatable Brentford side, making him a solid pick who could easily deliver six points for your squad.
Van de Ven (4.5m)
If you’re talking about Tottenham, names like Richarlison or Mohamed Kudus will come up—but Van de Ven is undoubtedly the most important defender in their FPL squad this season. He has already scored three goals, and with Tottenham regaining form, his upcoming Gameweek 20 fixture against Sunderland—a side weakened by AFCON absences—makes him a must-have. At just 4.5m, he’s an absolute bargain for your squad.
