Defenders
Antonio Valencia – £5.8
The Ecuadorian player has been on the radar of several FPL managers for quite some time after some consistent performances for the Red Devils. Gifted with insane work rate, the right back has been extremely reliable at the back for Manchester United. The fullback has produced a goal and a couple of assists in his last five fixtures whilst also being able to keep three clean sheets during this time. His price will certainly increase even more and it is recommended that you snap him up before it is too late.
Marcos Alonso – £6.8
Chelsea wing-back Marcos Alonso has often given us points even if Chelsea do not keep a clean sheet. The Spaniard averages 5.5 points per match which is a brilliant tally for a defender in the game. Alonso constantly bombards forward and this often gets him right amidst the action. Chelsea who host Crystal Palace will have to put in a solid performance as a defensive unit. The South London club have only scored 4 goals in their last 5 matches and will have a tough time breaking through the Chelsea backline.
Alfie Mawson – £4.6
The English centre-back may have scored an own goal in his last outing but that should not deter you from taking the defender who has shown a knack for scoring goals. The player has scored four goals this season and has become a regular for the club after some strong performances. Swansea are up against Middlesbrough, a team that has been terrible going forward. The prospects of getting points are high in this matchup.
