Charlton Athletic
Macauley Gillesphey (D) has been the best player in the inaugural Fantasy EFL campaign and he has continued to impress in the play-offs also. His 362 Fantasy points lead all players, with 20 of these coming in the play-off semifinals. He is selected by 67% of managers and is a must-have for any Fantasy EFL squad this weekend.
Lloyd Jones (D) is another obvious selection for similar reasons, as he leads the EFL with 8.1 Fantasy points per game. He has 20 clean sheets in 38 games, and hopes to record one more and end the season with a bang this Sunday.
Conor Coventry (M) has 69 interceptions this season and will have a high defensive workload in the final. He rarely blanks and is a safe choice to register an interception or two to bolster your points total.
Matt Godden (F) is having an outstanding first season with the Addicks, with 19 league goals to his name. He scored his side’s only goal in the semi-final and will be Charlton’s go-to man for a winner in this one.
Leyton Orient
Omar Beckles (D) and his elite versatility have resulted in an incredible 6.1 points average as he remains a standout option in this fixture. He recorded 19 clearances in the semi-final (+6) and one assist (+3), making him a valuable option, even if a clean sheet is hard to come by.
Charlie Kelman (F) is the most popular striker this gameweek with 54% ownership. He recorded a brace (+10) in the first leg of the semi-final after securing the League One top scorer title with 21 goals in the regular season. He is the favourite to score on Sunday.
Ethan Galbraith (M) has demonstrated elite versatility this season with 31 interceptions (+62) and 13 goal involvements (+57). He supplied the assist for Orient’s opener in the semi-final second leg, and will be highly involved on Sunday. With the ability for offensive and defensive returns, he is a highly attractive option.
Josh Keeley (G) is a great selection between the sticks, largely due to his save point potential. He has recorded 112 saves in just 38 appearances this season, registering two points in each leg of the semi-finals for his shot-stopping. If the O’s manage to shut out Charlton’s inconsistent offence, Keeley could be in for a haul.
