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

Recommended defender picks for this Gameweek include players from Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion and Brighton and Hove Albion.

🌟 Rúben Dias MCI, £6.1

Looks to be the most (only?) rotation-proof Man City defender going into their Double Gameweek of home games against Man Utd and Southampton.

🌟 Davinson Sánchez TOT, £5.2

Looks to be establishing himself as a starter going into the home match against Crystal Palace, and showed in the FA Cup at Everton he can score from a corner.

🌟 Antonio Rüdiger CHE, £4.6

He’s started every league game under Thomas Tuchel so far and Chelsea have a great run of matches coming up starting at home to Everton on Monday evening.

They don’t play in GW29, but after that their run is West Brom (H), Crystal Palace (a), Brighton (H), West Ham (a), Fulham (H).

🌟 Ainsley Maitland-Niles WBA, £4.6

Playing in midfield for a team who are improving defensively under Sam Allardyce. Up next, they’re at home to Newcastle then away to Crystal Palace.

🌟 Lewis Dunk BHA, £4.9

Was unlucky not to have his fourth goal of the season at West Brom, and defensively sound Brighton have a decent chance of a clean sheet at home to injury-hit Leicester.
