With 41 tackles, 205 clearances and 16 blocks, he’s a contributions magnet, and over half of the voters don’t see this slowing down.

The out-of-position midfielder, playing centre-back, has made 21 interceptions in that time for the Gills, scoring 60 points overall for his efforts. They take on 23rd-placed Morecambe (H) and 16th-placed Newport County (A), where Gale is expected to continue his top form. He also did pick up an assist (+3) in Gameweek 27, so attacking returns aren’t out of the question.

League Two leaders Walsall have been flying this season, and David Okagbue (D) is the second-highest scorer for the Saddlers. He’s played 32 of 33 matches for Mat Sadler’s side, helping them keep 10 clean sheets in 32, and has also made defensive contributions throughout the season: with 38 tackles, 179 clearances and 21 blocks.

WALSALL ASSETS
Walsall’s Jamille Matt (F) has 11 goals (+55) and two assists in 30 matches, and is now leading the line following Nathan Lowe’s (F) departure. Only selected by 0.8% and with two ideal fixtures, the number nine will be hoping to guide his team towards the title.
Moreover, Demonstrating Walsall’s strength, Taylor Allen (M) earns a place on the list. This versatile player, usually deployed as a centre-back, has excelled in an attacking role. He’s racked up six goals (+36) and nine assists in 32 matches from defence. His defensive work, including 27 interceptions (+54), further underscores his value.

With a 3.3% selection rate, they play 20th-placed Accrington Stanley (H) and sixth-placed Port Vale (A). This is likely to present strong opportunities for clearance points.

The number five leads Port Vale’s scoring with 179 points, keeping 11 shutouts in 29, and making defensive contributions consistently. He’s in great form, and has returned in all of his previous five games. He is owned by just 0.4%, too.
