Fantasy EFL Gameweek 6 Top Picks
As we head into another round of fixtures, it’s time to look at the players who could really make a difference. @FPLEdgeworth breakdown of the Fantasy EFL Gameweek 6 Top Picks will highlight the key names worth considering, based on form, fixtures, and their potential to deliver points.
Goalkeepers
Jake Eastwood – Cambridge United
We start this week’s top picks with Jake Eastwood of Cambridge. He has already kept two clean sheets in three home games this season, and this weekend he faces an Oldham side who have only managed one goal away from home. With that record, Cambridge look well-placed for another clean sheet.
Lee Nicholls – Huddersfield Town
Another strong option between the posts is Lee Nicholls of Huddersfield. Despite not featuring so far this season, he’s set to start this week for a defence that has yet to concede at home. They come up against a Peterborough side who have only scored once on their travels, giving Nicholls an excellent chance of delivering a clean sheet.
Defenders
Jack Sanders – Milton Keynes
Leading the way in defence is Jack Sanders of MK Dons. He’s currently the highest-scoring available player, with an impressive 62 points from six games. MK have conceded just once at home this season, so Sanders looks well-placed to extend his fantastic start.
Alfie Kilgour – Bristol Rovers
Joining him is Alfie Kilgour of Bristol Rovers. After a difficult start, he has found form with three consecutive clean sheets, racking up 27 points across those matches. This week, Rovers face a Newport side who have scored just once in their last three outings, so another clean sheet looks likely.

Midfielders
Amario Cosier-Duberry – Bolton Wanderers
The first midfield pick is Amario Cosier-Duberry of Bolton. He’s been consistent so far, scoring 40 points through a mix of shots, interceptions, key passes, and assists – making him a high-floor asset. At home to Wimbledon, he has the potential for another double-digit return, just as he managed the last time they won at home.
Oliver Norwood – Stockport County
Next up is Oliver Norwood of Stockport, another reliable high-floor midfielder. With 44 points already this season, contributing in every possible way for a midfielder, he has been a steady source of returns. Up against Plymouth this week, Norwood has every chance of maintaining his form and adding to his goal contributions.
Forwards
Matthew Dennis – Notts County
Up front, Matthew Dennis of Notts County is in outstanding form. With five goals and three assists in just six games, he has delivered double-digit hauls in each of his last three matches. Facing Fleetwood at home this week, Dennis looks primed to extend that hot streak.
Omari Patrick – Tranmere Rovers
The final pick is Omari Patrick of Tranmere. He’s also enjoyed a strong start, scoring four goals and providing two assists in five matches, including three double-digit hauls. Tranmere face a Salford side who have conceded in every away game this season, giving Patrick an excellent chance to deliver again.
Teams to Target
Swindon Town
Swindon are one of the standout teams to target this week. They face Barrow away, a side who have only avoided defeat once at home. Swindon, meanwhile, have dropped points just once on their travels, so they look well-placed to win and collect valuable bonus points on the road.
Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers are another team worth backing. They take on Newport away, a side winless in their last four games. Rovers are unbeaten in their last three and should be confident of extending that run while picking up more away bonus points.
