Last Word on Football recommends three defenders you should consider selecting for your FPL Gameweek 13 squad, with the deadline set for 18:30 on November 29.
Three Defenders to Transfer in for FPL Gameweek 13
Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.2m) – West Ham vs Arsenal
Gabriel Magalhaes is arguably the biggest goal threat among defenders in the league. The Brazilian has an excellent heading prowess and has proved a valuable asset to Arsenal. This should come in handy against West Ham on Saturday.

The Arsenal defence kept a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest after comfortably defeating them 3-0. They are starting to build some momentum and that will aid them against the Hammers in the weekend.
West Ham’s attackers are struggling to find form. Besides, they don’t have enough firepower to beat Gabriel and William Saliba and will be facing a tough assignment when they take on this defence.
Pedro Porro (£5.5m) – Tottenham Hotspurs vs Fulham
Tottenham Hotspur welcome Fulham to their stadium for a London derby that might witness numerous goals. While both teams have some excellent attackers, defender Pedro Porro will be involved in any threat that the home team poses.

He already has two goals and an assist in 2024/25, including a strike against Manchester City last week. His form has seen him rise to the fourth spot among the defenders with the most FPL points.
Ange Postecoglou’s tactics have suited Porro’s attacking instincts perfectly and the game against Fulham should give more proof of it. It is worth noting that the “brilliant” Spaniard had racked up three goals and eight assists last season and he seems intent on outperforming himself this time.
Levi Colwill (£4.5m) – Chelsea vs Aston Villa – A Cost-Effective Option for Gameweek 13
Chelsea have been nothing but impressive this season under new manager Enzo Maresca. Levi Colwill has been instrumental to this upturn in form as he has started every game of this league campaign.

The game against Aston Villa on Sunday provides Colwill an opportunity to grab his third clean sheet. Unai Emery’s men will put up a tough fight, nevertheless, playing at home will give the Blues’ defence an advantage. They haven’t lost at Stamford Bridge in the league since the 2-0 loss against City during gameweek 1.
A price tag of £4.5m is a steal for a defender of Colwill’s quality. With Chelsea improving every week, the only direction the 21-year-old’s price will go is up. So, FPL contestants better buy him when he is available at such a low cost.
