It’s a Double Gameweek 10 in Fantasy EFL for Sky Bet League Two, with the Mariners hosting Northampton Town on Saturday afternoon before travelling to Rochdale on Tuesday night.
With two fixtures to make an impact across the gameweek, there could be opportunities for Fantasy EFL managers to bring Grimsby Town players into their squads and pick up valuable points.
Northampton Town arrive at Blundell Park sitting 23rd in the table and without a win in their last three league matches, conceding four goals during that run. They are also still searching for their first away win of the campaign, making Saturday’s fixture one to keep an eye on when selecting your Fantasy EFL assets.
Managers should remember that each club can only be selected as one of their two teams on five occasions throughout the season, so choosing the Mariners this week is an important decision.
Town’s home form
Grimsby rank seventh among League Two clubs for Fantasy EFL points at home, averaging six points per game at Blundell Park.
Town have recorded three home wins and three clean sheets, while scoring at least twice on three occasions, highlighting the potential rewards on offer when selecting Mariners players for this Double Gameweek.
Midfield options
Kieran Green remains the Mariners’ top-performing Fantasy EFL asset, having contributed two goals and three assists so far this season.
The midfielder has also found the net in two of his last three league appearances at Blundell Park, making him one to consider ahead of Saturday’s fixture and Tuesday’s trip to Rochdale.
Meanwhile, Géza Dávid Turi made an impressive return from international duty in the recent 1-0 defeat against Port Vale, collecting nine Fantasy EFL points despite the result.
Turi earned a six-point bonus for making three interceptions, alongside a further point for completing two key passes, demonstrating how players can contribute valuable points beyond goals and assists.
Defensive picks
With two fixtures in quick succession, consistency could be particularly valuable when choosing defensive assets.
Cameron McJannet stands out as an option, having played every minute of action for the Mariners this season. The defender has made 76 clearances to date, providing another indication of his defensive contribution and potential to earn points through his performances.
His fellow centre-back Maldini Kacurri also caught the eye last time out, producing a crucial goal-line clearance to prevent Port Vale from extending their advantage.
Kacurri has started nine of Town’s ten league matches this season but is still waiting for his first goal involvement of the campaign. With two fixtures approaching, he could offer another defensive option for Fantasy EFL managers.
Make your Double Gameweek count
With Northampton Town visiting Blundell Park before the Mariners make the trip to Rochdale, Gameweek 10 offers two opportunities for Grimsby players to make their mark.
Whether you’re backing Green’s attacking contributions, Turi’s all-round midfield work or the consistency of McJannet at the back, there are several Mariners assets worth considering as you make your selections.
Choose wisely, make the most of the Double Gameweek and back the Mariners!
