Without further ado…<\/p>\n
MOST POINTS FROM TACKLES THIS SEASON:<\/strong><\/p>\n Much has been made of the newly-promoted clubs' struggles this term so it's perhaps not a surprise to see Luton's Nakamba at the top of the pile.<\/p>\n He leads the way with 37 tackles in 2023\/24 with the Hatters' defensive midfielder often worked off his feet in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In fact, over half of the 29-year-old's total points (31) have come through tackles.<\/p>\n Those who like their stats will have expected Palhinha's lofty ranking too.<\/p>\n Fulham's midfield general was in a league of his own in terms of Premier League tackles last season and he's right up there again this campaign despite missing the first couple of games while sidelined.<\/p>\n However, the Portugal international's overall tally of 39 points is modest.<\/p>\n The same can't be said for Garner, Paqueta and Casemiro, who are all among the top 15 midfielders in Dream Team at this stage.<\/p>\n This trio have topped up their returns with tackles while also registering the necessary goal involvements to reach that next level.<\/p>\n As for Gallagher, he's mustered just one assist and is yet to score this season but he's quietly done a lot of the donkey work for Chelsea.<\/p>\n The England international's efforts are reflected by his respectable tally of 12 bonus points and his healthy tackle total.<\/p>\n If the Blues' homegrown midfielder can improve his tangible attacking output he may well be a smart bargain option somewhere down the line – he's relatively viable now.<\/p>\n March is another notable inclusion as, like Paqueta, his primary job is to provide a spark in the final third but he's supplementing those attacking returns with a steady stream of tackle points.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Cash is Dream Team's fourth-most popular defender at the time of writing and with good reason.<\/p>\n Aston Villa's No2 is a potent attacking threat – he leads the way with eight shots on target among assets in his position – but that doesn't mean he shirks his defensive duties.<\/p>\n\n
