Plymouth Argyle are helped to the top of this list by Lewis, totalling 73 this season to lead the Championship. This is a highly impressive figure, though the Pilgrims still have a poor defensive record.
League One
Mansfield Town’s Adedeji Oshilaja (D) tops the leaderboard for this metric once again, with the defender racking up 20 blocks of his own. This is five more than any other League One player.
Peterborough United have the most blocks from a team perspective, with the defensively vulnerable Posh picking up 55 this season.
League Two
Mickey Demetriou (D), Cameron McJannet (D) and Stephan Negru (D) all tie with 22 blocks apiece to lead League Two. All three defenders have been highly impressive to start the season.
Grimsby Town narrowly lead League Two with 68 total blocks this season. They have been elite in this metric all season due to the high offensive pressure that they allow other sides to impose.
Best of Contribution Points: Cracking Clearances
Championship
Queen’s Park Rangers defender Steve Cook (D) leads the Championship with a huge 74 clearances this season. He is narrowly followed by teammate Jimmy Dunne (D), who has 72 of his own.
Plymouth Argyle take the lead in the Championship for clearances, as they overtake Queen’s Park Rangers after their Gameweek 13 performance. The side now have a huge 342 clearances this season.
League One
Ricardo Santos (D) has taken the top spot in League One for clearances. The 29-year-old has amassed a huge 102 clearances this season. He has been extremely active defensively, helping Bolton Wanderers to their current sixth-place position in the division standings.
Bristol Rovers have been amongst the top in the division in most defensive metrics all season, and there is no exception this week. The Gas have 362 clearances this season, a number that continues to balloon on a weekly basis.
League Two
The most consistent name on this weekly feature, Anthony O’Connor (D) is once again atop the clearance charts for League Two. He now has an incredible 139 this season to dwarf all other competition, and he is expected to continue this highly impressive play.
To no surprise, Harrogate Town repeat as the leaders for clearances in the division. The whole team has been solid in this metric, with the squad racking up an incredible total of 492 on the season so far. This means that they would be top five in the division even without the contributions of their defensive savant O’Connor!
