EFL Fantasy Gameweek 10 Tips

Jack Fitzwater

Ownership - 30%

Exeter's Jack Fitzwater is unavoidable once more during GW10.

The 29-year-old is the top-scoring defender in the game, more than 30 points clear of his nearest competitors.

Boasting an incredible 152 clearances in 10 appearances during this campaign, Fitzwater is a rock at the heart of the Exeter defence and the obvious first choice at the back during GW10.

The Grecians don't have the easiest fixtures during the double gameweek; a trip to Colchester United is followed by the visit of high-flying Crewe Alexandra, however, Fitzwater is likely to rack up plenty more defensive contributions in these matches.

Fitzwater is also a viable captain choice in GW10; his average of 10.1 points per game means players are likely to pick up a significant haul if the Englishman continues his current form.

Aden Flint

Ownership - 0.8%

An interesting differential pick for this round is Rochdale's towering defender Aden Flint, who is selected by fewer than 1% of players so far in GW10.

Flint likely flies under the radar due to his total points haul not ranking among the top defenders in the game. This stat is deceiving, however, because the former Championship man only joined Rochdale just over a month ago.

In his five matches since joining the Dale, Flint has scored double figures four times, kept three clean sheets, racked up 57 clearances and made nine blocks.

With a visit from third-placed Crewe, followed by a home match against out-of-form Grimsby, expect Flint to be heavily involved in defence for Rochdale once more.

Oliver Norwood

Ownership - 12.7%

One of the most consistent midfielders in the game is selected in our team once more: Stockport veteran Ollie Norwood looks a solid choice in the middle.

Norwood has picked up 68 points so far this season, which ranks him eighth in the total standings for midfielders.

The 35-year-old has contributed 23 key passes so far, the third-highest in the game, alongside a respectable 13 interceptions.

With Stockport playing against strugglers Bromley and Doncaster during GW10, Norwood looks a smart pick for the midfield.

Kyle Wootton

Ownership - 15.7%

The second Stockport player to make the team in GW10, Kyle Wootton looks set to be a popular pick this week.

The 30-year-old has seen his selection percentage jump from fewer than 3% to more than 15% for this double gameweek, partly because of the Hatters' favourable-looking fixtures, but mostly because of his recent goalscoring form.

A brace against Barnsley last time out took Wootton to seven goals in nine appearances in League One this season, the second most of any player in the third tier.

Wootton has started every one of Stockport's league games this season and has scored three times in his last two games; with two winnable games coming up for the Hatters, Wootton could extend that impressive recent form.

Jamal Lowe

Ownership - 4.6%

Finally, a slightly less popular pick partners Wootton in attack: Sheffield Wednesday's Jamal Lowe.

Lowe is an experienced operator and has scored plenty of goals at a higher level than League One. He has quietly accrued a respectable tally of five goals in eight games this season, including a 98th-minute equaliser against high-flying Huddersfield last time out.

The 32-year-old takes penalties for the Owls and has already tucked away four of them this season; if Wednesday are awarded a penalty during GW10, expect Lowe to step up - and expect him to score.

With favourable-looking fixtures against AFC Wimbledon and Notts County, neither of whom are pulling up any trees this season, Lowe is an interesting differential pick in attack.
