In Gameweek 6 of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League, 38 players have earned defensive contribution points.
As a reminder, defenders need to reach a combined total of 10 clearances, blocks, interceptions or tackles (CBIT) to earn two Fantasy points, while midfielders and forwards need 12 CBIT and recoveries.
There are 24 defenders and 14 midfielders who have reached the required threshold for the additional FPL points in Gameweek 6.
With James Tarkowski (£5.5m) failing to reach the threshold for the first time this season as Everton drew 1-1 with West Ham United, defender Marcos Senesi (£4.9m) is the only player to have collected the two available defensive contribution points in EACH of his six appearances this season.
