In Gameweek 10 of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League, 30 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.
In Gameweek 10, there are 16 defenders and 14 midfielders who have reached the required threshold for the additional FPL points.
Declan Rice (£6.8m) reached the midfielder threshold for the third time this season with a Gameweek-high 21 defensive contributions in Arsenal's 2-0 win at Burnley.
All of Rice's defensive contribution returns have come on the road.
Brighton & Hove Albion's Mats Wieffer (£4.9m) picked up the two available defensive contribution points once again to make it an impressive five returns in six starts.
Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson (£5.3m) has produced at least 10 defensive contributions in each of his 10 appearances this season, earning the two extra Fantasy points in half of those matches.
