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

    -4, yay or nay

    Lallana to Allen
    Walcott to KD/Haz
    Benteke to Austin ( Already own Redmond)

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      None for -4

    2. TD Champ
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott to Haz

  2. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ville Ronke replaced Snod with Fletcher instead of Allen. No wonder this guy never wins OR.

    1. Liber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      haha .. 89 points .. mediocre player 😀

  3. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Got 80 points this week and feel right and decent about it.

    Looking at all the options available though I'd love to have a WC sitting to bring in 5/6 players..

    Allen
    Brunt
    Hazard
    Bony
    Coutinho
    Alonso

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is Brunt playing OOP?

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah

      2. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. Defender on set pieces

  4. TD Champ
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who to replace Snodgrass:

    A: Allen
    B: Gundogan
    C: Someone else (similar price range)

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Allen, Siggy or Chadli

    Repost from earlier, just to try and get some more opinions.
    ive got 2 FT's with 0.1 in the bank

    heaton. pickford
    lovren. holebas. pieters. evans. amat
    sanchez. firmino. sterling. walcott. capoue
    aguero. lukaku. deeney

    a) walcott to lallana

    b) sterling & deeney to coutinho & austin.

    c) something else.(quite tempted to do nothing, would mean losing a tranfer tho).

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B looks a very nice pair of transfers.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Although maybe ditch Walcott instead of Sterling.

        1. TotalJustice
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          do u think sterling will score more than Wally or for having city cover?

      2. NRK
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Coutinho for sure. B.

    2. TotalJustice
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      instead of losing FT.. i wud do deeney > austin

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Even tho Deeney has 2 nice foxtured6 after Liverpool?

        1. 1justlookin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          *fixtures

    3. Stippen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Have the exact same front eight as you, and have two free transfers this week. Really wondering what to do.

      Have decided to bring Austin in for Deeney. In addition I would really like to fit Hazard into the team. Could be done by selling Walcott and Sterling, and bring in Haz and Redmond/Gundogan. Would of course cost me A hit.

      Could be a C-option to consider for you.

    4. Fluctus de Mutilatio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B or
      C - capoue to 4.4 or 4.3 (bank the funds for later)

  7. The Hindu Monkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Monday night blog up. Thanks for (mostly) continued reads and positive comments. And no mention of Joe Allen in sight!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bookmarked. Cheers will have a look

  8. TotalJustice
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    who will score more in next three...
    Wally TOT, mutd, BOU, wham
    Sterling MID, cpl, bur,CHE

    need one of these two to replace with coutinho

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you've Sanchez I'd sell Walcott

      1. NRK
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Wallcot imo due to his form.

  9. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So if you could only have one who would it be

    A Austin
    B redmond
    C allen

    1. NRK
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Have Allen already. Will have him till his form dips. Has Wh next and then 3 easy schedules.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I guess. I'm on a wc and have the super 4 in mid so can only gave 1 of the.

        Cheers for the heads up with fixtures

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Charlie

    3. Liber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin

  10. NRK
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What do you guys think?
    Payet to Coutinho. (already have Firmino)
    WH has stoke next and then spurs, utd, Ars n Liv. Thats some schedule. Was tempted to do it last week but didnt after hearing some opinion.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd do it mate. Too high ownership to risk it with such an on form explosive player. I'm paying for it this week

      1. NRK
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thnx mate!

  11. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/1219327/event/10

    Currently Highest Pts this GW (132p), but played Capoue and benched Allen. 😆

  12. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Tempted to spend some of my Allen points on ditching Deeney, whose fixtures have turned and will likely fall in price.

    a) Austin
    b) Wilson
    c) stick with Deeney and save the hit.

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Worth the hit Demi? Really fancy it myself.

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah i think so. Hull look a shambles. Then 2 home fixtures, albeit tricky opposition. Great fixtures again after that

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yep, that is how I see it. Might do it tonight in case he goes up.

          2. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Whats your thoughts on Hazard or KDB

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      What was your free transfer?

  13. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Worth keeping hold of Siggy for his trickier run of games coming up?

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I am. He seems to play better when the big sides come..

  14. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Joe Allen owners -

    Is he your 5th Midfielder who plays occasionally and you risk not playing him or is he now your 4th midfielder?

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      5th mid in a 3-5-2

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      he's 4th mid right now.. capoue is the 5th mid

    3. Demí
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Still 5th. Walcott injury a blessing for me. Will be able to play him this week though

    4. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      4th, since Snodgrass is currently in my team

    5. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      5th mid but I played him ahead of Austin due to fixtures

    6. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Brought him in as my 4th and happy with that set up for the time being. Leaving sufficient cash to upgrade him or De Roon if necessary.

    7. white lightning
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He is my 4th mid & Capoue my 5th. I have Aguero, Costa & Lukaku up front which ties up a lot of money.

    8. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's my 5th but going to play him instead of Son this week.

  15. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Cech - (Pickford)
    Clyne - Holebas - Smith - (McAuley - Amat)
    Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino - Sigurdsson - Allen
    Aguero - Lukaku - (Barrow)

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not a fan of Barrow or Clyne

    2. NRK
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Liv has the lowest no of clean sheet along with hull.
      Coutinho insted of Theo, imo. Liv have easy schedule.

  16. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    53 all out 2.8m ranking ,arnie banned,hard slog atm...

  17. Sharpe Shuffle
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Joe Allen. He's no Capoue

  18. Toby Lerone
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions for this defence?

    Kosc holebas Williams Amat Evans.

    Struggling for GW11

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      AOA

    2. tomc990
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have the same defence (well mustafi not kosc) and I'm transferring Williams for fuchs - you could do the same or maybe Morgan/cedric if no other transfers to make.

    3. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Williams to Fuchs is possible. AOA been used. Cheers

  19. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else doing Capoue --> Allen tonight ?

    With international break after next gw and BOU wat BUR to follow Allen's price will sky rocket

    Capoue price will only plummet from now on

  20. jurgenklopp.8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    13.5 to spend on 1 def and 1 mid, doesn't matter what the rest of the team is, who do you get?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Allen and Amat

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        cheers.....

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A Keep Ozil and Walcott or
    B Transfer in Hazard for Ozil and keep Walcott

  22. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed just want a couple more responses before I make a move.

    A. Snodgrass to Allen
    B. Sterling to Hazard
    C. Snodgrass + Sterling to Allen + Hazard (-4)

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A.

      do B for free next week if you can afford

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Prices could rise though on Hazard and drop on Sterling though, still risk it?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A now and once Chelsea games turn then consider B. Sterling some good fixtures in next few games

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you want Allen and Hazard and wait you will miss the price roses, easly 0.4 money.

  23. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Austin at 88% will he rise?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      likely

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What time are price changes now?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          1 hour earlier

  24. GREENDREAMS11
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone here thinking about taking the risk with Gundogan ? I suppose it seems risky when Joe Allen is doing it regularly at a cheaper price

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I want to but have Stones, KDB and Kun already.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not many then by the looks of it, thanks for the reply though

  25. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would you get rid of Snodgrass for -4?

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No, take the .1 drop

  26. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Austin,Musa or Bony

    I have a feeling that Austin won't carry on scoring

    Stoke and Lei slightly better fixtures

  27. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton - Jaku
    Vertonghen - Smith - Holebas - Robertson - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Walcott - Allen
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    A few problems at the back and 2 FTs to resolve (0.0ITB) - where should my focus be?

    A) Jaku > Pickford (Picks starting for the foreseeable?)
    B) Robertson > Friend/Britos (Could mean WAT double up but not too many other nice options)
    C) Keep on relying on the forwards and go Sterling + Deeney > Coutinho + Austin (giving 0.3 to sort out DEF next week)

  28. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford and Walcott to Foster and Allen?

    See what I did there 😉

    1. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You transfered Foster for Pickford and Allen for Walcott?

  29. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who will score more On;y next 2 gwks? thnx

    a Cout: WAT - sou
    b Sterling: MID - cry

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cou on form

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely Coutinho

    4. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

    5. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      cheers.
      Would any of you do the -4 for Sterling > cout now or wait for next gw for the FT?

  30. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    2FT + 0.3m but I just don't think I'll be able to get either of Costa or Hazard into this team unfortunately.

    Foster - Jaku
    Kosc - Stones - Pieters - Friend - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Walcott - Redmond - Allen
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cant have them all, unlike Pokemon

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's life, eh! Time to ship Walcott out you think?

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thinking Walcott + Deeney --> Coutinho + Austin
