Fantasy EFL: Who were the best performing players with 0% ownership in GW32?
Once again, it was the differentials that stole the show in Fantasy EFL gameweek 32. The top-three scorers of the week had 0% ownership, and could be on our radar heading into the small double gameweek 33.
It gets underway on Saturday, with Notts County hosting Crewe Alexandra in the early 12:30 KO at Meadow Lane. Due to the international break, there are limited options in terms of players, so this article will help to highlight some of the best differential options based on current form!

- Fantasy EFL - the key lessons we learned from gameweek 32
Goalkeeper
One of the best picks for gameweek 32 proved to be Peterborough United’s Jed Steer (G). The Posh’s number one managed to secure a nine points thanks to a clean sheet (+5), three saves (+2) and 90 minutes played (+2). However, a very small number of managers were able to reap the rewards of the goalkeeper's excellent display, with his ownership standing at just 0.2%! The Posh are one of six League One teams to play in GW33, and take on Charlton Athletic (H)
Defenders
Steer’s defensive colleague, Tayo Edun (D) also proved to be an excellent pick with the defender securing 14 points in Fantasy EFL. His points came scoring the only goal of the match (+7), the shutout (+5), nine clearances (+3) and 89 minutes played (+2). The number 14 would have managed 17 points had he not picked up a red card (-3) in the 95th-minute, and thus will miss GW33 entirely!
Equally, we saw another 14-point return through Crewe Alexandra’s Connor O'Riordan (D). The defender amassed an impressive haul courtesy of a goal (+7) and clean sheet (+5) when his side held Doncaster Rovers to a 1-1 draw. The Railwaymen take on fifth-placed Notts County side in GW33, aiming to bounce back into the Play-Off spots.

Midfielders
Barrow’s Sam Foley (M) proved to be an excellent differential asset for GW22. The middleman secured 12 points through five interceptions (+10), two key passes (+1) and featured for the duration of the game (+2), but did suffer a point deduction due to picking up a yellow card (-1). Foley has racked up 34 points in his last three outings, and has a double in store: AFC Wimbledon (A) and Port Vale (A).
Closely behind Foley was Josh Benson (M) of Barnsley who managed to secure 11 points. It is his first double-digit display of the campaign, and it came thanks to one goal (+6), one interception (+2), two shots on target (+1) and 83 minutes played (+2), despite his side suffering a 2-1 defeat to Mansfield Town. He could be a solid outsider option for GW33, which sees his side host Cambridge United.
Forwards
Charlton Athletic’s Matt Godden (F) nailed 13 points thanks to a brace (+10), three shots on target (+1) and 76 minutes played (+2). However, once again, limited managers opted for the forward, with his ownership at just 0.2%. The Addicks talisman has now registered 12 goals (+60) this season, returning 124 total points, and faces the Posh (A) next.
Port Vale’s Jayden Stockley (F) matched Godden’s tally of 13 points in GW32. His points came through an assist (+3), goal (+5), four key passes (+2), two shots on target (+1) and 71 minutes played (+2). The striker has now reached 16 goal involvements, with eight goals (+40) and eight assists (+24) to his name. The forward’s ownership stood at just 0.1%, and faces Morecambe and Barrow at Vale Park - two ideal fixtures for Darren Moore's side.
