Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 27 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

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

John Stones, MCI – £4.7m

If City win their FA Cup replay against Huddersfield on Wednesday then they’ll be in for a Double Gameweek, with fixtures away to Sunderland and home to Stoke.

With Stones looking like a first-team regular once again, that could be a bargain price – although be warned he won’t have a fixture in Gameweek 28 should things play out as above.

If City contrive to lose to Huddersfield, the Stoke game will take place in Gameweek 28.

Gareth McAuley/Chris Brunt, WBA – £5.1m each

The former is now on six goals for the season while the latter also poses an attacking threat, so both look to be good options for the home game against Crystal Palace.

Antonio Valencia, MUN – £5.6m

Has potential to score points at both ends of the pitch at home to Bournemouth, but do bear in mind he won’t have a fixture in Gameweek 28.

Alfie Mawson, SWA – £4.5m

He’s scored three goals in his last seven games and his next four fixtures are home to Burnley, away to Hull, away to Bournemouth and home to Middlesbrough.

Good luck and happy selecting!
