            <p>The <strong>best FPL budget rotation pairs</strong> should allow <strong>Fantasy Premier League managers</strong> to swap between two players that have a succession of good fixtures between them. If Player A has a difficult fixture, Player B can be swapped in to <strong>maximise FPL returns</strong> and vice versa.</p>
<p>Ideally, these rotation pairs need to be <strong>low cost</strong> to help you afford the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-premium-midfielders/"><strong>premium players</strong></a> in the game.</p>
<p>In this article, <a href="https://twitter.com/BigManBakar"><strong>BigManBakar</strong></a> looks at <strong>seven FPL rotation pairs</strong> using the help of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>Fantasy Football Hub's fixture ticker</strong></a>.</p>

<p>Every <strong>FPL manager</strong> has their own opinion on rotations, but I focus on <strong>budget rotation pairs</strong> to target <strong>clean sheets</strong> over attacking returns. Attacking returns just aren't as predictable, and I hate leaving any on the bench too.</p>
<p>As such, in this article I've focused on the <strong>best rotating FPL defenders</strong> instead of attackers. Let's take a look at them.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Best FPL Budget Rotation Pairs | <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brighton-fpl-players/">Brighton</a> and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-leeds-united-fpl-players/">Leeds</a></strong></h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>First Eight Fixtures:</strong> <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-burnley-fpl-players/">Burnley</a> (A), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-watford-fpl-players/">Watford</a> (H), Burnley (A), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brentford-fpl-players/">Brentford</a> (A), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-newcastle-fpl-players/">Newcastle</a> (A), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-crystal-palace-fpl-players/">Crystal Palace</a> (A), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-watford-fpl-players/">Watford</a> (H), <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-norwich-fpl-players/">Norwich</a> (A)</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In my opinion, Brighton have <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-budget-defenders/"><strong>the best £4.5m FPL defenders</strong></a> in the game.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Brighton were only behind <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-fantasy-football-chelsea-best-player-tips/"><strong>Chelsea</strong></a> and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-fantasy-football-manchester-city-best-player-picks/"><strong>Man City</strong></a> for <strong>expected goals (xG)</strong> and <strong>big chances conceded</strong> last season. Ever since <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-budget-goalkeepers/"><strong>Robert Sánchez</strong></a> became a regular, only three Premier League teams kept more clean sheets than Brighton.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-budget-midfielders/"><strong>Tariq Lamptey</strong></a> is the £4.5m asset that excites me the most. He is locked in my team if he proves his fitness in pre-season.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When he was fit last season, he was second among all defenders for penalty area touches. Rotating him with the likes of <strong>Diego Llorente (£4.5m)</strong> or <strong>Luke Ayling (£4.5m)</strong> from Leeds give us a succession of favourable fixtures.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Luke Ayling was unlucky not to register more attacking returns last season, particularly when he was playing as a full back. Overall, <strong>he created 27 chances</strong> for his team mates, including <strong>five big chances</strong>, but failed to record a single assist.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I don't think he is one you can rely on consistently for attacking returns because his underlying numbers as a full back aren't as impressive as Lamptey's, but he can do a job in a rotation.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-35706" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Lamptey-1024.jpg" alt="Lamptey is a great rotation FPLdefender " width="1024" height="683" /></p>

<h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Best FPL Budget Rotation Pairs | Brighton and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-leicester-city-fpl-players/">Leicester</a></strong></h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>First Eight Fixtures: </strong><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-wolves-fpl-players/">Wolves (H)</a>, Watford (H), Norwich (A), Brentford (A), Brighton (A), Burnley (H), Crystal Palace (A), Norwich (A)</p>
<p>Though many FPL managers are backing <strong>Wesley Fofana (£4.5m),</strong> his low points ceiling makes him a poor standalone asset.</p>
<p>Just the <strong>five bonus points in 27 starts</strong> with <strong>zero goals</strong> means that you are relying solely on clean sheets if you plan on playing him week in and week out.</p>
<p>Rotating him with a <strong>Brighton defender</strong> gives you the opportunity to make optimal use of him.</p>
