Spurs have one of the strongest <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture runs</a> over the next few weeks, starting with Luton in FPL Gameweek 8.
James Maddison (£7.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.3m) are two popular Spurs picks &#8211; but what about their defenders?
Squawka takes a look at the best picks to complete a triple up on Ange Postecoglu&#8217;s team.

<h2>Best Spurs FPL defenders</h2>
Given their high-flying status, it&#8217;s easy to see why Spurs players are so popular right now. 
Maddison for example is in nearly a third of all FPL managers’ squads. Only Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) have better expected assists totals than Maddison this season. 
And Maddison currently has a better non-penalty expected goals on target (NPxGOT), a post-shot model used to measure the quality of finishing, than both of those players.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min (£9.3m) is the second-highest scoring FPL midfielder behind Bukayo Saka (£8.6m). 
He has six goals this season and a spot in over a quarter of all FPL teams. Furthermore, his NPxGOT, is 5.1 in the Premier League. Only Erling Haaland (£14.1m) on 5.36 can beat that.
But here are some lower-owned Spurs defenders who could go with them.
<h3>Cristian Romero (£4.8m)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Teams selected by: 15.7%</li>
<li>FPL points: 28</li>
</ul>
Defence wins championships, as the old saying goes, but so far Spurs have kept just two clean sheets. This is one area where Postecoglou will be determined to improve.
Romero will be key to this aim, a far cry from not long ago when the Argentine was seen as a liability.
Romero’s main FPL appeal stems from the threat he carries at set-pieces. Only four Premier League defenders have a higher xG than he does (0.9) this season so far.

<h3>Pedro Porro (£5.0m)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Teams selected by: 7.2%</li>
<li>FPL points: 26</li>
</ul>
Pedro Porro joined from Sporting in January and finished the season with 2.29 xA and 1.89 xG, leading Spurs&#8217; defenders in both metrics.
North London is now his permanent home and this season the one-time Manchester City player averaged 4.3 FPL points per game, the most of any Spurs defender.
He&#8217;s statistically Spurs’ most creative defender, too, with 10 chances created and two assists, including the FPL assist for Joel Matip’s own goal against Liverpool. 
Only four Premier League defenders have set up more goalscoring opportunities in 2023/24 so far, in fact.

&nbsp;
<h3>Destiny Udogie (£4.8m)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Teams selected by: 6.7%</li>
<li>FPL points: 26</li>
</ul>
Udogie is one of this season’s breakthrough acts. Signed in 2022, the Italian spent a year playing on loan for Udinese and returned this summer to make Spurs’ left-back spot his own. 
Only three Premier League defenders have taken more touches in the opponents’ box this season than Udogie, who assisted in back-to-back games against Bournemouth and Burnley.
Ivan Perisic’s long-term injury makes Udogie a more secure pick in terms of playing time. 
However, he’s still just 20. Inexperience typically leaves players more vulnerable to periods of inconsistency and fouls. 
Udogie for instance has conceded the most fouls in the Premier League this season, resulting in three yellow cards. That’s the most of any Spurs defender and has lost him three FPL points. 
That&#8217;s not a huge difference but something to consider when picking between him and Porro, which is almost a toss-up.

<h3>Squawka verdict</h3>
Porro, if you have the extra £0.2m to spare, is our top Spurs defensive pick due to his underlying creative output.
