Fantasy 24 Club brings you the most insightful analyses and GW16 tips to help strengthen your squad and maximize your points. In this article, we highlight the top defenders of the season in Fantasy Premier League, offering reliable and impactful options to enhance your lineup in the weeks ahead.
Munoz (6.1m)
After appearing in 14 matches this season for Crystal Palace, Munoz has accumulated 89 fantasy points, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. He stands out as an indispensable defensive option, consistently starting for a Crystal Palace side performing strongly this season. His regular presence boosts his chances of scoring, creating opportunities, or keeping clean sheets, making him a powerful addition to any FPL squad and one of the most valuable fantasy players of the season.
Gabriel (6.1m)
Despite missing Arsenal’s last four matches due to injury, Gabriel Magalhães remains one of the most important defenders this season and a key figure in Arsenal’s lineup. Even with his absence in the past four Premier League Gameweeks, he has still amassed 81 fantasy points from just 11 appearances, averaging an impressive 7.5 points per Gameweek.
Timber (6.3m)
Jurrien Timber is undoubtedly the second most important player in Arsenal’s defensive lineup and the team’s second-highest points scorer, with 78 fantasy points from 15 matches, including 2 goals and 2 assists. He is a guaranteed starter and a constant threat on set pieces, often scoring with his head. Most importantly, Timber is a key FPL option, especially when Gabriel is unavailable, as he steps in as a regular starter.
Tarkowski (5.4m)
James Tarkowski is Everton’s key defender and a central figure in David Moyes’ setup. With 74 fantasy points, he ranks among the highest-scoring defenders in Fantasy Premier League this season. His defensive contributions, coupled with six clean sheets kept by Everton, make Tarkowski an outstanding and reliable defensive option for any FPL squad.
