Choosing the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for your team is no easy task. So, using the power of AI, we can give you a great idea as to the players you should consider buying in Gameweek 25.
There was a time when the job of a full-back was just to defend their side of the pitch and occasionally get forward. Nowadays, it’s almost mandatory for a full-back or a wing-back to get forward, support the attack, and even get into the box.
The Premier League is packed with incredible talent, and some of the fullbacks the league boasts are second to none.
With all this in mind, let’s use data from FantasyFootballHub AI to help you select the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for Gameweek 25 and beyond.
AI predicts FPL Gameweek 25 points: Top 10 Defenders
We’ve already seen some spectacular performances from certain defenders this season in FPL, but there are plenty more to come. So, with that in mind, the FFH AI has picked out the players expected to earn the most points in Gameweeks 25-28, just in case you want to make some defensive changes or even play your Wildcard.
| Rank | Player | Price (£M) | Predicted Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gabriel | 5.1 | 19 |
| 2 | Nathan Ake | 5.0 | 18 |
| 3 | Ben White | 5.6 | 17 |
| 4 | Marcos Senesi | 4.5 | 17 |
| 5 | Matty Cash | 4.6 | 17 |
| 6 | Alex Moreno | 5.1 | 17 |
| 7 | Virgil Van Dijk | 6.4 | 16 |
| 8 | William Saliba | 5.6 | 16 |
| 9 | Adam Smith | 4.4 | 16 |
| 10 | Alfie Doughty | 4.6 | 15 |
AI had been loving Manchester City’s defenders over the last few weeks, however, that has changed now. Nathan Ake is the only one in the top 10 now, as the likes of Kyle Walker and Josko Gvardiol have fallen away.
However, AI is also backing Ederson as the best goalkeeper for the next few weeks, so it believes in the City defence somewhat.
AI is also loving Arsenal’s backline this week, with Gabriel, Ben White, and William Saliba featuring again here. The best Free Hit and best Wildcard teams are big fans of Liverpool, Luton Town, and Brentford defenders this week.
