What's Happening?
In the 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League season, Gameweek 25 has seen notable defensive contributions from players, earning them extra points. Players earn these points by reaching a threshold of clearances, blocks, interceptions, and tackles (CBIT). Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, a midfielder, has continued his streak by earning extra points for the ninth consecutive week. Other players like Struijk from Leeds and Morato from Nottingham Forest have also made significant contributions. These defensive efforts are crucial for Fantasy Premier League managers looking to maximize their team's performance.
Why It's Important?
The Fantasy Premier League is a popular platform that engages millions of football fans worldwide, influencing how they perceive and interact
with the sport. The emphasis on defensive contributions highlights the importance of defensive skills in football, often overshadowed by offensive play. This focus can lead to a greater appreciation for defensive players and strategies, potentially influencing real-world team selections and tactics. For Fantasy managers, understanding these contributions can be the difference between winning and losing in their leagues, affecting their engagement and investment in the game.
