Strengthen your defence with this Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 8 defenders round-up and unlock your fantasy football potential.

Recommended defender picks for this Gameweek include players from West Ham United and Sheffield United.

🌟 Aaron Cresswell WHU, £4.9m

West Ham have kept three clean sheets in four matches going into their home game against low-scoring Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Cresswell has scored in back-to-back games since stepping in at left-back for the suspended Arthur Masuaku.

In that kind of form, you’d have to imagine he stays in the side.

🌟 John Lundstram SHU, £4.4m

Sheffield United haven’t lost away from home for a good while, and this weekend they go to winless Watford.
