Sunday brings Gameweek 10 to a close with the early kick-off at Goodison as Everton host Spurs, while at tea-time, we’re treated to the first Premier League South Wales derby as Cardiff welcome rivals Swansea.

Fantasy managers still totting up their tallies from City’s rout of Norwich will now look to the likes of Leighton Baines and Romelu Lukaku against Spurs, while eyes will be on Michu as he looks to break a drought of four league outings without a goal for the Swans when they face the Bluebirds.

The team news from Goodison Park looks significant from a Fantasy perspective as Roberto Martinez drops Ross Barkley to the bench for the first time this term. The youngster (owned by 35% of FPL teams) makes way for Leon Osman in the central midfield three after the latter climbed off the bench to grab a goal and assist in the previous Gameweek.

Spurs are unchanged from the side that craped past Hull last Sunday. This sees Aaron Lennon keep his place in the XI ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson, in spite of the latter’s wonder goal in the Capital One Cup – Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela warm the bench once again, whilst Jan Vertonghen continues at left-back.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and available to support you real-time reactions throughout today’s matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Yawn, this is another nil-nil all day long. Don't think I'll bother with the second half, just check FPL later to see which defenders got the baps.

      I dont know if you should take the hit or wait a week but that's what I would do. But then again im not doing too good this year so I would suggest taking someone elses advice

        Chunk and Cucumber - only way to get Aguero would be a hit this week and downgrade Hazard/Michu for Sturridge. Not sure losing Sturridge when he has Fulham for -4 is best. Maybe bring Silva in for City cover?

    Hi guys. Don't know what move to make next. I feel like something is missing, should I sacrifice a midfielder and jump on the Aguero/Suarez bandwagon or sit tight?

    Boruc, Harper
    Chico, Coleman, Shaw, Whittaker, Briggs
    Amalfitano, Coutinho, Ozil, Oscar, Silva
    Benteke (c) Sturridge Soldado

    I've got 0 in the bank. What shall I do transfer wise? I am stumped

        I wouldn't ditch Coutinho this week.

          I wouldn't want to lose any of the other mids though

      Ozil -> Ramsey
      Soldado/Benteke -> Agüero

      Benteke has great fixtures but no form. Soldado will give you the 1 odd goal every other week

      You consider getting Oscar or Hazard for Countinho (don't if selling Ozil will leave you with enough funds for this move)

        I've just brought Coutinho in, he's a differential. Can't sell him. I know I need Kun but it's hard to part company with any of my mid

          Well you need to change Soldado and Benteke. May be upgrade Soldado to Kun/Suarez and downgrade Benteke to some else cheaper. Possibly play 3-5-2 or 4-4-2

    Can I ask - may have already been done, but surely Silva had 1 or 2 assists yesterday? It shows nothing on the fantasy website????? Did'nt he last touch it when Augero scored in first half and then squared later in the second half ???

    Or is my eyesight going.....

      Aguero didn't score in the first half - and his 'second' was after a cross was cleared (which isn't an assist this year).

    Michu & Lukaku > Januzaj & Aguero is looking pretty good right about now...

    I had his Palace haul 6 weeks ago, and been patient with Michu through 5 good fixtures, but I'm afraid it's time to let go... and Everton are not creating enough chances for Lukaku IMO...

    Tbh, even a Michu goal here, and I'll still want to sell him...

    Thoughts?
