Defenders can rack up huge points with clean sheets and more in Fantasy Premier League \u2013 we round up the best tips for defensive rocks to sign in FPL 2021\/22. <\/p>
Fantasy Premier League defenders can create the perfect foundation for success in 2021\/22 but picking out the superstars can often be a tricky process.<\/p>\n
Every season, without fail, a clutch of obscure names, bargain buys and outsiders surge through the crowd to become must-buys against all the odds.<\/p>\n
Full-backs tend to be more profitable as they benefit from clean sheets as well as greater opportunities to bomb forward but that isn\u2019t a concrete rule as many have proven before.<\/p>\n
Clean sheets are as valuable as goals, so before you rush out to snap up every attacking behemoth under the sun, take a moment to consider your backline.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t snap up some cheaper options, however. A blend of price tags is a good starting place for your defence, and there are plenty of options to choose from.<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you all the latest FPL tips to sign the best defenders ahead of 2021\/22.<\/p>\n This feels very reasonable for a \u00a350m defender whose task will be purely to defend, defend, defend. Arsenal\u2019s defence has been surprisingly reasonable in recent years and White\u2019s presence should shore up any leaks.<\/p>\n He is highly-likely to start every game and should benefit from that consistency. He was a great asset for Brighton and can be expected to put up big numbers for the Gunners this season.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a real chance Shaw could be the best value defender around ahead of the 2021\/22 season. United are improving all the time, with Raphael Varane set to join the ranks as well.<\/p>\n Shaw\u2019s defensive work is solid and attacking returns have steadily grown. He is a very strong option for a very decent price. The only question mark that lingers is over his availability in GW1.<\/p> Aston Villa are gradually building an excellent team in the Midlands with defensive grit and attacking flair. Targett combines the best of both worlds<\/p>\n He picked up 16 clean sheets last season and spiced up his numbers with four assists to nudge him ahead of the likes of Tyrone Mings. Expect another handy season from a growing player in a growing team.<\/p>\n The Czech star was a revelation for West Ham last season and an integral part of David Moyes\u2019 increasingly resilient team in east London.<\/p>\n Coufal picked up nine clean sheets and nine assists last season for a terrific 128 points. He feels like a bargain at just \u00a35.0m \u2013 which is \u00a30.5m less than Aaron Cresswell.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0Sport<\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Defenders can rack up huge points with clean sheets and more in Fantasy Premier League \u2013 we round up the best tips for defensive rocks to sign in FPL 2021\/22. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":2735,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign.jpg",1024,693,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign-300x203.jpg",300,203,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign-768x520.jpg",768,520,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign.jpg",800,541,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign.jpg",1024,693,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-defenders-to-sign.jpg",1024,693,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Defenders can rack up huge points with clean sheets and more in Fantasy Premier League \u2013 we round up the best tips for defensive rocks to sign in FPL 2021\/22.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/2734"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Ben White (Arsenal) \u2013\u00a0\u00a34.5m<\/strong><\/h2>\n
