As the Premier League season heats up, Fantasy Premier League managers are sharpening their pencils and gearing up for a thrilling final stretch in the race for points. With clean sheets offering double points, now's the perfect time to reassess your squad and target those defensive gems who can help you climb the leaderboard. Let’s dive into the top goalkeeper and defender picks that could make or break your fantasy team in the remaining fixtures.
When it comes to goalkeepers, players like Ederson from Manchester City and Alisson of Liverpool stand out as not only world-class shot-stoppers but also as reliable options for clean sheets. Their teams are defensively solid and are known for dominating possession, reducing the chances for the opposition to score. Moreover, if you get lucky with bonus points, having a top goalkeeper on your side can significantly boost your total points. Don’t sleep on your second keeper either; sometimes they can save you when you least expect it!
On the defensive front, the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James are making waves. Not only are they adept at keeping opposing players at bay, but they also contribute substantially to their teams’ attacking play. This unique combination means they’ve got the potential to earn points at both ends of the pitch—clean sheets and assists or even goals! Ultimately, focusing on defenders who are known for their attacking prowess and solid defensive records can make a huge difference in your fantasy success.
As the fixtures roll in, be sure to keep an eye on form and potential double gameweeks, where players have two opportunities to earn points. Timing your transfers correctly could put you miles ahead of your competition. And remember, ‘form is temporary, but class is permanent’—always trust in your gut instincts as well as the stats when making those crucial Fantasy Premier League decisions.
