There’s one more match to consider in Gameweek 10, as Stoke and Swansea go head to head at the bet365 this evening.

The Potters welcome Bob Bradley’s side on the back of two straight wins and clean sheets, with Joe Allen and Xherdan Shaqiri both bagging a brace in clashes against Sunderland and Hull respectively.

Indeed, Allen was the third most transferred in player ahead of the weekend deadline, with over 138,000 Fantasy Premier League managers snapping up his services on the back of four goals in as many league matches.

Despite a frustrating goalless draw at home to Watford last time out, the Swans will take heart from their recent 3-2 defeat at the Emirates.

Prior to Jermain Defoe’s converted penalty at the Stadium of Light on Saturday lunchtime, Swansea were the only side to score against Arsenal in eight matches across all competitions.

With the schedule smiling kindly from Gameweek 13 onwards, Gylfi Sigurdsson has the chance to stake a claim for inclusion in our five-man midfields.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Never thought Arnautovic would be the wrong Stoke mid to have, Allen in top form! 😀

    1. tomc990
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Arnie has played quite well today in truth.

      I guess Allen pick is a lesson for form and avoiding price snobbiness 🙂

  25. 420king
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 FT.

    Capoue & Valencia to Allen & Morgan (can't afford Fuchs) a good move?

  26. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Those Bony goals are sweeeet! Up to 103 for the gw, with 10 players!
