Fantasy Premier League: Top 5 Budget Defenders you should pick

#1 Stephen Ward- Burnley (£5.1)

Stephen Ward has proved that he, without doubt, is their best man to guard the final third

At the start of the season, Ward was valued at a meagre amount of £4.5. Now his price has shot up to £5.1 and it continues to rise almost every other day. He has scored the highest FPL points from Burnley (65 pts) and is selected in around 23% of the teams.

Burnley has surpassed everyone's expectations as they stand on 6th place with 25 pts. They have 6 clean sheets and have conceded only 11 goals. This balanced side will look to make the most of their next 4 games after which they will be navigating difficult waters.

The key player in their endeavour would be Ward, as Burnley's defence will be looking to keep their opposition at bay.
