Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out for at least a fortnight – giving Fantasy Premier League managers a tricky decision ahead of Gameweek 23.<\/p>\n
The Reds defender has been a reliable asset in the game this season, racking up 93 points so far at the very reasonable price of \u00a35.2m.<\/p>\n
But who should you replace him with? talkSPORT.com has scouted five potential defenders who could be a good outlet for you in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
The Everton full-back has emerged as an FPL diamond this season with his attacking threat down the left-side and his ability from dead-ball situations.<\/p>\n
Many have deemed the Frenchman the “new Leighton Baines”, and in a Toffees side who have struggled at times this term his season haul of 87 points is impressive.<\/p>\n
Digne also has favourable fixtures, with Southampton, Huddersfield, Wolves and Watford his next four before they face Manchester City at home.<\/p>\n
As we have all seen the Red Devils are thriving under Ole Gunner Solskjaer and are finally getting clean sheets to show for it after clean sheets against Newcastle and Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Shaw is also given license to roam forward by his boss and has potential to provide attacking returns.<\/p>\n
He has only notched up 49 points this term but more clean sheets are expected with their next two fixtures at home to Brighton and Burnley.<\/p>\n
He is also at a budget price for a defender at \u00a35.0m.<\/p>\n
The Wolves full-back has been a hugely popular choice for FPL managers this season and is owned by 23% of managers.<\/p>\n
He is a huge threat as a wing-back for Nuno’s side having picked up three goals and four assists so far this season.<\/p>\n
At \u00a35.2m he is a nice replacement for Alexander-Arnold who is the same price, and he has a good run of fixtures against West Ham and Everton at home.<\/p>\n
Another full-back you could turn to is Ricardo Pereira.<\/p>\n
The Leicester defender has picked up 96 points in total, having scored twice and assisted three in his debut season in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
He has difficult fixtures with Wolves, Liverpool and Manchester United next but Leicester like to play on the counter and could grind out a result or two.<\/p>\n
If\u00a0 you have money in the bank to spare the Chelsea centre-back could be a nice option to turn to.<\/p>\n
Luiz has been Blues’ best passer in recent matches, providing two assists in his last three outings with balls over the top.<\/p>\n
Maurizio Sarri’s side are also getting a lot of clean sheets this season, with 10 already recorded, and have favourable fixtures after Arsenal this weekend against Bournemouth and Huddersfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
