Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 28 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

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

🌟 Antonio Rüdiger CHE, £4.6

Seems to be a fixture in what has recently been the league’s strongest defence, and Chelsea have a good run of games ahead – except in Gameweek 29 when they don’t play.

UPDATE: Was rotated out for Monday night’s win over Everton, but chances are he’ll come back in for the trip to Leeds.

🌟 Joël Veltman BHA, £4.3

Brighton are away to Southampton this weekend and then they’ll be one of only eight teams to play in GW29 – in their case at home to Newcastle.

🌟 Davinson Sánchez TOT, £5.2

Sunday’s north London derby at the Emirates isn’t an ideal fixture but it’s also worth planning for the reduced GW29, when Spurs go to Aston Villa.
