Fantasy Premier League: 8 Must-Have Defenders for your FPL Team

Manchester City v Everton - Premier League
Kyle Walker

#5 Patrick Van Aanholt(Crystal Palace, £5.5)

Reading v Crystal Palace - Pre-Season Friendly
Patrick Van Aanholt

Van Aanholt is part of the select few defenders who boast of scoring more than 3+ goals in their last 3 seasons. He is currently averaging 5.34 goals and 2 assists in his last 3 seasons.

Van Aanholt finished tied 2nd in the Premier League for goals scored by defenders, so if fantasy managers are looking for a cheap goal scoring defender then he is an intriguing option at £5.5 million.

With Fulham, Southampton, Huddersfield & Wolves being 4 of Crystal Palace's first 8 fixtures the fixture list is relatively easy for the Eagles as all of them register a total of 2 on the Fixture Difficulty Rating, Van Aanholt will be ready with his shooting boots come match day.
