Gameweek 20 of the Fantasy Premier League served up an interesting set of results.

The best defenders from the previous gameweek are given in the table below.

Top 5 Best FPL Defenders to Buy in GW21

5. Josko Gvardiol – Manchester City | 74 points | £6.0m

Josko Gvardiol was often included on this list at the start of the season until a drop in performance impacted Manchester City, and it has continued since that time. One victory in 13 matches across all competitions has been an awful run, and Gvardiol’s individual performance hasn’t been especially remarkable, particularly in defence. Nevertheless, there has recently been a turnaround with two victories in two matches. Additionally, the fact that Gvardiol frequently seems to be City’s most threatening player in the opponent’s penalty area makes him a strong differential option for this week. Is a significant return in store for Gvardiol against Brentford this season?

4. Daniel Munoz – Crystal Palace | 61 points | £4.7m

Even though Crystal Palace began the season poorly, they have shown improvement recently. Under the management of Oliver Glasner, their system heavily relies on their wingbacks, and in this regard, right wingback Daniel Munoz has found excellent form. The Colombian, who joined last season, has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist while frequently entering threatening attacking areas. As he showcased against Manchester City earlier this season, he has been positioning himself well for scoring opportunities and capitalizing on them. He will find himself in similar positions again as his team faces a game against Leicester City this weekend.

3. Noussair Mazraoui – Manchester United | 50 points | £4.4m

Manchester United find themselves in a highly contradictory position at the moment. Although they appear to be in good hands with Ruben Amorim at the helm, they are currently positioned in the lower half of the league standings. Mazraoui is anticipated to participate in a three-man defensive setup with wingbacks taking on a crucial role. The Moroccan is a highly astute footballer and has been one of United’s top performers this season. They face a struggling Southampton this weekend, and a clean sheet is at least anticipated. He may be poised for some offensive contributions.

2. Antonee Robinson – Fulham | 67 points | £5.0m

Antonee Robinson has surfaced as one of the most exciting and reliable wide defenders in the Premier League this season. In the Fantasy Premier League domain, he holds a high position among defenders for total points earned. The American possesses exceptional speed, sprinting up and down the wing while also gathering a considerable amount of Bonus Points in the game. He is not merely a proficient defender; his attacking contributions include as many as 7 assists already this season. Fulham have initiated their season exceedingly well and currently occupy the 9th position. This weekend, they are set to encounter a struggling West Ham squad, which is the reason he makes this list. What is also interesting is that with the transfer window being open, the American will once again be on the radars of multiple clubs, notably but not limited to Spurs and Liverpool.

1.Lewis Hall – Newcastle | 79 points | £4.8m

Newcastle have been in outstanding form lately after having faced difficulties in achieving any level of consistency this season. Nevertheless, Lewis Hall has been showing impressive performances. He has delivered 2 assists in the Premier League up to now and his underlying statistics appear strong as well. Newcastle’s next game is against struggling Wolves, and the English defender is anticipated to add some valuable points. Hall is a thrilling all-around presence who advances play and is deeply involved in all of the Magpies’ attacking contributions. Eventually, his statistics are bound to improve.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 21, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Both sides are in desperate need of a win with the pressure now mounting on the managers of both sides. Interestingly, the rivals are also both ravaged by injuries.
