The Premier League season is nearly upon us, which means that Fantasy Premier League is also right around the corner.
Choosing which players to field, when to bring in top talents, and deciding who to appoint as captain can be quite a challenge. These decisions can ultimately determine whether you gain bragging rights over your friends or come up short.

Here, GOAL brings you the best defenders to include in your FPL team, including the top options, budget alternatives and mid-priced gems.
