Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 36 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended selections this week include players from Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley and Swansea City.

Paul Dummett, NEW – £4.2m

Newcastle are at home to rock-bottom West Brom on Saturday before a Gameweek 37 double away to low-scoring Watford and wobbling Spurs.

Toby Alderweireld, TOT – £5.8m

Finally back from injury, and just in time for Monday night’s home game against Watford followed by a Double Gameweek away to West Brom and home to Newcastle.

Alfie Mawson, SWA – £5.1m

A threat from set pieces, Mawson also has a decent chance of keeping a clean sheet or two over the next couple of Gameweeks with fixtures at home to Chelsea, away to Bournemouth and home to Southampton.

Kevin Long, BUR – £4.1m

A cheap option with a good chance of keeping a clean sheet at home to Brighton this weekend, although a Gameweek 37 trip to Arsenal looks daunting.

Good luck and happy selecting!
