£4.0-£4.5m defenders

Nathan Ferguson (CRY) DEF
Price: £4.0m
Appearances: 21
G: 1 A: 1 Key passes p/g: 0.3
Clean sheets : 3

Interceptions p/g: 0.9
Ground battles won: 58%
Passing accuracy: 77%

*stats taken from last seasons Championship league

Ferguson has moved to Palace on a free transfer and is likely to fill the right back spot. A £4.0m full back who occasionally gets up field, will definitely be a popular choice for FPL managers

Tariq Lamptey (BHA) DEF
Price: £4.5m
Appearances: 9
19/20 pts: 26
A: 1 Key passes p/g: 0.9
Clean sheets : 2
Big chances created : 3

Interceptions p/g: 1.8
Ground battles won: 55%
Passing accuracy: 84%
Accurate crosses: 13%

Lamptey was made a regular towards the end of the season with Graham Potter preferring the youngster over the more experienced Martín Montoya. Going forward Lamptey is the better player, suiting the 3-4-1-2 as a wing back.

Rúben Vinagre (BHA) DEF
Price: £4.5m
Appearances: 16
19/20 pts: 32
A: 0 Key passes p/g: 0.3
Clean sheets : 3
Big chances created : 2

Interceptions p/g: 0.3
Ground battles won: 52%
Passing accuracy: 77%
Accurate crosses: 30%

With Jonny Otto out for what could be 9 months with an ACL injury, Vinagre is a cheap way to get the Wolves onto your team. Nuno loves attacking full backs and this guy will not disappoint.

Stuart Dallas (LEE) DEF
Price: £4.5m
Appearances: 45
G: 5 A: 3 Key passes p/g: 1
Clean sheets : 19
Big chances created : 43

Interceptions p/g: 0.9
Ground battles won: 55%
Passing accuracy: 79%
Accurate crosses: 14%

*stats are from Championship league

Last season, Dallas played both full back positions, a centre midfield role and sometimes on the right wing. I wouldn’t want to compare him to Lord Lundstram but his stats from last season and versatility could bring good FPL returns. Definitely a player to look at for this price

Charlie Taylor (BUR) DEF
Price: £4.5m
Appearances: 24
19/20 pts: 84
G: 0 A: 1
Key passes p/g: 0.5
Clean sheets : 10

Interceptions p/g: 1.2
Ground battles won: 58%
Passing accuracy: 69%
Accurate crosses: 23%

Burnley were a solid defensive outlet last season, Nick Pope was a poplar FPL choice nearing the golden glove. He is the preferred left full back option by Dyche over Pieters. At £4.5m Taylor is a cheap option of the Burnley defence and has potential for attacking returns.

Kyle Walker- Peters (SOU) DEF
Price: £4.5m
Appearances: 13
19/20 pts: 32
G: 0 A: 1 Key passes p/g: 0.5
Clean sheets : 2

Interceptions p/g: 1.3
Ground battles won: 59%
Passing accuracy: 81%
Accurate crosses: 5%

Walker- Peters signed for Southampton on a permanent transfer after impressing them on his loan spell. There is a lot of excitement about the youngster and at this budget price he is easy to fit in your team!

These are my favourite Defenders £4.5m and below.

Thanks for reading, I hope this helps you pick your team. Shares and feedbacks appreciated
