Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 17 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended selections this week include players from Bournemouth, West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Stoke City and West Ham United.

Charlie Daniels, BOU – £5.1m

Plays at home to low-scoring Southampton and should be on penalties if Callum Wilson fails to recover in time.

Erik Pieters, STK – £4.5m

Stoke managed to shut out Southampton with ten men on Wednesday night and they’re well capable of another clean sheet at home to Leicester City.

Aaron Cresswell, WHU – £5.3m

Has the potential to score points at both ends of the pitch at home to Hull City.

Chris Brunt, WBA – £5m

He’s been justifying our recent recommendations with a goal and three assists in his last three games, albeit home to Manchester United this weekend is no easy fixture.

Séamus Coleman/Leighton Baines, EVE – £5.5m/£5.3m

Looked back to their attacking best in the 2-1 win over Arsenal, but Monday night’s Merseyside derby might not be the ideal fixture to bring them back in for.

Good luck and happy selecting!
