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.

    I really want to drop Michu. Or do you think I have other pressing needs? I have 0.4 in the bank and 1 FT. Michu is selling for 8.9 right now. Should I double up on Chelsea and pick up Oscar as well?

      Considering that as well. But no City cover.

      Chelsea fixtures look tasty and Mourinho will be shooting for max points. But would you get in Silva over Oscar if already have Hazard and no City?

        Would bring in Silva no doubt, however he costs 9.4 so would need to take a hit to bring him in.

        I'm wondering how worth it is it to have Ozil when Ramsey is contributing just as much at a far lower price.

          Get Ramsey in then imo. Not the best fixture on paper but with United's defence the way it is, he will get his chances.

            Might drop Ozil down to Ramsey and swap Michu for Silva. Then will have a nice coffer to work with next week to upgrade my defense a bit.

          Even though you are paying a hefty price for him, at least with Ozil you are getting some decent returns. It's so difficult to predict what's going on in the midfield this year that it's good to know that your big hitter is very likely to bringing something home. (Ramsey of course is totally mandatory at the moment - everyone ought to have him. I have to admit that I am amazed at his renaissance - but top marks to him.)

            So you think an Ozil->Ramsey so I can do Michu->Silva is madness? It would free up 3.2m to spend elsewhere (like upgrading my defense or Lukaku->Rooney)

              No, I'm not saying that. I can understand why you have Ozil, but not why you didn't have Ramsey beforehand - even if you bought him during the middle of his great run. Your proposed transfers seem Ok otherwise.

                12 years, 5 months ago

                I had Ramsey up until this week, dropped him in a multi-hit trade to bring in Hazard (didn't work out for me this week) as I expected him to trail off.

                Think I'm going to stick with everything else and just swap in Gerrard for Michu.

                Lukaku should be fit for next weekend good for something against Palace. Then will likely take a hit to swap out Ozil for Ramsey and upgrade Lukaku to Rooney or someone else.

                Thanks for the back and forth!

      If I ditch him I can to fund Aguero this week for free and then Suarez can join Rooney on my front line next week for a hit.
      So, er... no

      Yep. Silly to shift him before STO/ful, IMO, especially when I have more pressing transfers. GW13 is the time to move.

        Dunno. Probably a number of factors. I posted in pre season about how he could suffer from 2nd season syndrome though, if anyone believes that

      Why bin Lukaku immediately before he plays the worst team in the league? Can swap him for Remy, who has Norwich at home, the following week.
