In Gameweek 30 of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League, 48 players have earned defensive contribution points, so far.
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 30, there are 30 defenders and 18 midfielders who have reached the required threshold for the additional FPL points.
Marcos Senesi (£5.0m) earned two defensive contribution points for the 22nd time this season, the most of any player.
He was joined by his team-mate James Hill (£4.2m), who has now returned defensive contribution points in nine of his 12 appearances since establishing himself in the AFC Bournemouth starting XI in Gameweek 19. Over that period, his 75 per cent success rate betters Senesi's 67 per cent.
The table below shows which players have received extra points in Gameweek 30, and how many defensive contributions they made in total.
