Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 23 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended selections this week include players from Manchester United, Everton and West Bromwich Albion.

Antonio Valencia, MUN – £5.5m

Frequently gets forward to put crosses in from right-back, while his next three fixtures are home to Hull, away to Leicester and home to Watford.

Séamus Coleman/Leighton Baines, EVE – £5.6m each

Coleman has amassed a whopping 33 points in his last three games, Baines an also impressive 27. With the Toffees tightening and their wing-backs firing, there’s a strong case to be made for having both.

Chris Brunt, WBA – £5m

Brunt’s been a killer member of Burp’s own fantasy team in recent weeks, left on our bench for away games against top 6 sides and brought in for home fixtures in which he always seems to get a goal or assist.

While listed by FPL as a defender due to having played full-back last season, Brunt plays a reasonably attacking role for Tony Pulis’s 8th-placed Baggies and his upcoming fixtures look good on paper.

Good luck and happy selecting!
