no you could not argue, EFL is independent of all your other grades.

GCSE requirements for specific grades in e.g. English language and maths are normally "hard" requirements and if you don't meet them you would automatically be rejected.

You should therefore aim for unis which only require a 6 in GCSE English language or plan to retake it :smile:
