Fantasy EFL Gameweek 10 had a limited number of fixtures. This meant that only the bonus point leaders for League One and League Two could change as there were no Championship fixtures.
Below we’ve highlighted the best performers so far in terms of interceptions (+2 for mids), blocks (+1 every two for defenders), clearances (+1 every three for defenders) and shots on target (+1 every two for forwards and mids) from Gameweek 9 and the previous four Gameweeks. Here we look at the best of the bonus points players.
Don’t panic if you’ve not started yet: there are still 29 Gameweeks to go (including nine doubles and one treble) and plenty of chances to win monthly prizes as well as the whole game – so sign up here!
