ATTENTION FANTASY EFL MANAGERS…
The international break has thrown a curveball into Fantasy EFL Blank Gameweek 5. Six League One teams will have a mini-double Gameweek due to rearranged fixtures following the break.
Be mindful when selecting your team. Many Fantasy EFL managers will target the DGW fixtures, which will become more frequent as the season goes on. In total, we have TEN double Gameweeks and even one TREBLE Gameweek in late-December! To check out when the double/treble Gameweeks are, have a look at our EFL fixture ticker (free Members access).
Although this Gameweek won’t be as intense as double Gameweek 8 – the first full double – it’ll still be full of twists and turns! We have plenty of content to be published in the lead up to Gameweek 5; keep an eye on Fantasy Football Scout and the EFL’s website for the latest news and articles to help with your team selections, including Captaincy, Scout Picks, Club Picks, RMT and more!
