NOTES
- Firstly, to address the elephant in the room, I currently have Hayden Hackney, who is flagged. There are rumours that he could be ready for the final, and if that’s the case, he’s in! He’s been fantastic this season and extremely consistent.
- Back to the rest of the team, I think Middlesbrough could have a good chance to keep a clean sheet this week, so Sol Brynn makes the cut. Hull City are likely to have some shots, so Brynn could even rack up save points.
- My captain will be Kallum Cesay. An in-game defender who plays up front for Salford City, you can’t really ask for more from a fantasy asset. He joins teammate Adebola Oluwo, who is a significant goal threat. I’m basically tripled up on a Salford clean sheet, but both players also offer multiple routes to points.
- I’m all in on Stockport this week. Owning Norwood won’t be enough, so I’ll probably need him to blank even when owning. I may even captain him if I get cold feet. He joins Amario Cozier-Duberry. I don’t trust the Stockport defence at all, even after back-to-back clean sheets in the semis.
- I’m all in on the Stockport attack this week. Louie Barry can be explosive, so let’s hope for another 29-pointer from him!
- Team picks are reflective of my player picks.
- Good luck!

NOTES
- This week, I’m backing Middlesbrough, Bolton Wanderers, and Salford City to win, which is why they stand out as my main team picks.
- I’ve also gone heavy on the Salford defence with five defenders. They offer very strong attacking threat, while also coming in as differential picks. If they manage to keep a clean sheet, the upside could be massive.
- I also fancy Middlesbrough to get the better of Hull City. Because of that, I rate their attack highly this week. Both David Strelec and Riley McGree look like strong options with good potential for returns.
- There’s also a clear upside with Amario Cozier-Duberry. He has a very high ceiling and also provides coverage for Bolton Wanderers. That said, this could still change due to his high ownership.
- Good luck, everyone!

NOTES
- I’m fully backing a quadruple Salford City defence this week, with all four players carrying decent attacking threat alongside their clean-sheet potential. If Salford shut their opponents out, the upside could be huge.
- In midfield, Amario Cozier-Duberry keeps his place because he always looks dangerous whenever he plays. He consistently gets chances and has the ability to produce big returns.
- I also like Odin Bailey, who offers strong interception potential while still contributing the occasional goal or assist.
- Leading the line is David Strelec. With Tommy Conway unavailable, Strelec should spearhead the Middlesbrough attack and comes in as a likely low-owned option with plenty of upside.
- From a club perspective, I’m mainly targeting Salford City, Middlesbrough, and Bolton Wanderers this week.
