Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 22 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended defender picks for this Gameweek include players from Cardiff City, Southampton, Leicester City and Bournemouth.

🌟 Sol Bamba CAR, £4.5m

Cardiff have kept three clean sheets in their last six games going into back-to-back matches against low-scoring sides Huddersfield and Newcastle.

🌟 Cédric Soares SOU, £4.2m

Returned to the team for the 0-0 draw at Chelsea and his upcoming fixtures are Leicester (a), Everton (H), Crystal Palace (H), Burnley (a), Cardiff (H).

🌟 Ricardo Pereira LEI, £5.2m

He’s been in excellent form going into the home game against Southampton, including attacking returns – although fixtures get tougher after that.

Mind you, going by Leicester’s recent form, they might fare better against the big boys…

🌟 Nathan Aké BOU, £5m

Scored in back-to-back games and, while Bournemouth are leaky, Aké’s eye for goal could come to the fore in any of the following games: Everton (a), West Ham (H), Chelsea (H), Cardiff (a).
