Fantasy EFL: Gameweek 23 picks, tips, lineups + more

Fantasy EFL Gameweek 2 - Top Picks for Sunday 7

Following a weather-disrupted Gameweek 22, which saw four matches postponed (including half the sides who were supposed to be doubling!), we move on to Gameweek 23!

Due to FA Cup commitments and postponements, only 12 teams will face off this weekend in a reduced Gameweek. Postponements are already rife [see our live article here]!

The action gets underway with three matches across League One and League Two at 12:30 GMT on Saturday.

  1. Carlisle United vs MK Dons, League Two, Saturday 15:00
  2. Exeter City vs Mansfield Town, League One, Tuesday 19:45
  3. Northampton Town vs Barnsley, League One, Saturday 15:00
