Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 19 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended defender picks for this Gameweek include players from West Ham United, Manchester City and Manchester United.

🌟 Aaron Cresswell WHU, £5.4

With other sides’ Double Gameweeks looking in doubt due to COVID-19 disruption, West Ham are arguably the best bet for defenders with their home games against Burnley and West Brom.

Cresswell’s six assists so far this season make him the outstanding candidate, but £4.7m Vladimír Coufal is a very reasonable and more affordable alternative.

🌟 João Cancelo MCI, £5.8

Man City’s Double Gameweek could be scuppered if their match against Aston Villa is postponed, but even if it isn’t they’ll still be at home to Crystal Palace.

Again, there’s a budget option in the form of £5m John Stones.

🌟 Luke Shaw MUN, £4.8

Looking in the best form of his Man Utd career and now on some set piece duties too, with fixtures away to Liverpool and Fulham coming this Gameweek.
