Fantasy Football: Defenders dominate Goal's Fantasy Team of the Week

Our Fantasy writer looks back on match week 24 and highlights the 11 best performers including players from Swansea, Arsenal, Chelsea, and more

Matchweek 24 is now behind us and it was the defenders who stole the show in the latest round of Premier League action. Five teams kept clean sheets, which obviously boosted many Fantasy owners’ weeks, and four defenders found the back of the net this weekend - including two from Arsenal (Nacho Monreal and Laurent Koscielny).

There have been some this season that have suggested that a back four strategy could be the best option this year with so many strikers struggling and this week will likely push many people into trying a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 in coming weeks.
