Choosing the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for your team is no easy task. So, using the power of AI, we can give you a great idea as to the players you should consider buying in Gameweek 38.

There was a time when the job of a full-back was just to defend their side of the pitch and occasionally get forward. Nowadays, it’s almost mandatory for a full-back or a wing-back to get forward, support the attack, and even get into the box.

With all this in mind, let’s use data from FantasyFootballHub AI to help you select the best Fantasy Premier League defenders for Gameweek 38 and beyond.

AI predicts FPL Gameweek 38 points: Top 10 Defenders

We’ve already seen some spectacular performances from certain defenders this season in FPL, but there are still some more to come. So, with that in mind, the FFH AI has picked out the players expected to earn the most points in Gameweek 38, just in case you want to make some defensive changes for the run-in.

1Josko Gvardiol5.15
2Trent Alexander-Arnold8.45

6Kyle Walker5.54
7William Saliba5.94
8Virgil Van Dijk6.64
9Manuel Akanji5.04
10Ben Chilwell5.44

Unsurprisingly, Manchester City and Arsenal defenders are leading the way for the final game, given both need to win in the title race. The two of them take up a combined seven spots in the top 10.

The AI continues to put some faith in Liverpool’s Trent-Alexnader Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk, but the Reds were run ragged in the Merseyside Derby and haven’t kept a clean sheet since March. So, be cautious.
