<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL defenders for Gameweek 11</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Marc Cucurella (£5.1m) – Chelsea</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Aston Villa (a)</strong></p>
<p>Chelsea have been a much improved side since Graham Potter took charge, and have now kept three clean sheets in their last three games in all competitions.</p>
<p>The Blues have another decent fixture to keep a clean sheet in this week.</p>
<p>They take on Aston Villa in Gameweek 11, who have been one of the worst attacking sides this season. They have scored seven goals (nineteenth) with an xG of 9.71 (seventeenth).</p>
<p>The bookmakers also have Chelsea as the third favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 11, at 37%.</p>
<p><strong>Marc Cucurella</strong> looks like he should start this weekend. He was one of the few players who escaped Potter's rotation last week against Wolves, and was also benched in their Champions League game against AC Milan, playing only a few minutes.</p>
<p>With <strong>Reece</strong> <strong>James (£6.1m)</strong> injured, Cucurella is now looking like the best option for Chelsea at the back, in terms of both chances of starting and attacking threat.</p>
<p>The Spaniard has two assists already, with an xA of 0.66.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>William Saliba (£5.1m) – Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leeds United (a)</strong></p>
<p><strong>William Saliba</strong> has two goals this season, and looks to be one of the most attacking defenders this season for Arsenal. He has an <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/a-simple-guide-to-opta-stats-for-fpl/">expected goals (xG)</a> of 0.38, and an xA of 0.58 so far.</p>
<p>Arsenal have been one of the best defences sides in the league. They have conceded 10 goals (second) with an xGC of 8.7 (second) which is only bettered by Manchester City.</p>
<p>They take on Leeds United in Gameweek 11, which is a game they will strong favourites in. The Whites have scored 11 goals (sixteenth) with an xG of 11.56 (thirteenth) so aren't the most threatening team going forward.</p>
<p>Saliba is one of the most nailed defenders in this team, and has the highest goal threat amongst his defensive teammates. He is always in and around the box during corners and free-kicks.</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta’s men are also the second favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 11 at 38%.</p>
<p>The Gunners are the second best defensive team in the league, and I don’t see this changing any time soon.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Max Kilman (£4.5m) – Wolves</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Max Kilman</strong> is the most nailed defender for Wolves.</p>
<p>He has started every game for them so far, and completed 90 minutes each time.</p>
<p>In terms of attacking threat, he has three shots in the box, with an xG of 0.31, so is the second most attacking defender for them.</p>
<p>Wolves have been poor this season, but they are not conceding many goals, and have always looked a good defensive side.</p>
<p>They have conceded 12 goals (fourth) with an xGC of 12.4 (ninth) so are around mid-table right now in terms of defensive stats.</p>
<p>They have a very favourable fixture this week against Nottingham Forest. Steve Cooper's men have scored only seven goals (nineteenth) with an xG of 9.24 (eighteenth).</p>
<p>Wolves won't get many better chances to keep a clean sheet, and this is a good game for them from an attacking sense too. Kilman hasn’t got a great attacking record, but he's still amongst the most likely players in the Wolves defence to get some attacking returns.</p>
<p>Wolves are also the favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 11 (44%) according to the bookmakers.</p>
<p>Kilman is the second highest predicted scoring defender (4.0 points) for Gameweek 11 according to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction Tool.</a></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_50063" style="width: 812px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50063" class="size-full wp-image-50063" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Max-Kilman-Stats.jpg" alt="Max Kilman Stats. top 5 best fpl defenders gameweek 11" width="802" height="649" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Adam Webster (£4.5m) – Brighton</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brentford (a)</strong></p>
<p>Brighton have one of the best defences in the league so far. They have only conceded nine goals (first) with an xGC of 9.5 (third).</p>
<p>They have a decent chance of keeping another clean sheet here against Brentford in Gameweek 11. The Bees have been good going forward, but the Seagulls will be favourites here, and are a hard side to break down.</p>
<p>They are the fifth favourites to keep a clean sheet at 31% and <strong>Adam</strong> <strong>Webster</strong> is looking like their most attacking defender right now. He has six shots in the box, with an xG of 0.81 which is the highest amongst the Brighton defence.</p>
<p>Webster has started every game so far, and looks like the best option from the Seagulls. With how the fixtures have fallen in Gameweek 11, they have one of the best chances of a clean sheet.</p>
<div id="attachment_50064" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50064" class="size-full wp-image-50064" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Adam-Webster-Stats.jpg" alt="Adam Webster Stats. best budget defenders gw11" width="798" height="649" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-50064" class="wp-caption-text">Adam Webster Stats</p>
</div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Ivan Perišić (£5.6m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Everton (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ivan Perišić</strong> has only started five games this season, and his starts can be loosely predicted.</p>
<p>With him being on the bench against Brighton last Gameweek, and an unused sub in Tottenham Hotspur’s Champions League game against Frankfurt, you would bet that he starts in Gameweek 11</p>
<p>Spurs have a good fixture in Gameweek 11 as they take on Everton at home. This is a great game for them from both a defensive and attacking perspective, which bodes well for Perišić.</p>
<p>The North London club have conceded only 10 goals (second) with an xGC of 10.5 (fifth). Also, the Toffees have only scored eight goals (eighteenth) with an xG of 11.68 (eleventh).</p>
<p>Antonio Conte’s team are the favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 11 at 44%, and the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (36%).</p>
<p>This is a good fixture for Perišić to get returns at both ends of the pitch. He has three assists this season in the league, creating 12 chances with an xA of 1.28.</p>
<p>We also know he has a history of attacking output. In his last season for Inter Milan<strong>,</strong> he managed eight goals and seven assists, averaging an impressive 0.23 goals per 90 over his last two seasons.</p>
