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

    Mixed gameweek, happy with 84 points but kicking myself having Zlatan (C) when I also own Aguero, Sanchez and Lukaku.

    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

      Allen and Amat.

          The reply matched the question.

            clearly trolling

              You are. Or me? I assume you mean yourself asking the community to pick two players without knowing anyone in your squad? How do we know if you haven't already got the players we would pick?

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho and Stones

  3. Krul Runnings

    People buying Austin before heavy hitters have played champions league matches midweek.

    Smart.

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Its a gamble well worth taking for most

      1. Krul Runnings
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        To save 0.1m?

        Are you drunk?

        1. FPL_Hazards
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It can be up to £0.6m in exceptional cases but even all the £0.1s tot up over the weeks.

          The odds on a player getting hurt are low and even so, we have 3 bench players to fall back on

          1. Krul Runnings
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I can see you are too far gone to be helped.

            Enjoy your -8 when Sanchez and Kun break down at some point.

            1. FPL_Hazards
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Enjoy your Feb wildcard with £103m, i'll be the guy with £110m

              1. Krul Runnings
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I have 104m already, thanks.

                Bye now

        2. Defcons are for Kinnear

          TV is boss this year

        3. Jason Bourne
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Some don't have 0.1m to spare. Not really that hard to understand.

          1. Krul Runnings
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Deeney costs 0.4 more, mate.

  4. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Am I imagining it or are players rising and falling a lot more easily than last year?

    1. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, horrible, favours bandwagoning

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All sorts of mids in all price ranges scoring points. No surprise really

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just a lot more people staying active this year due to FPL Twitter, etc

    4. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, i've lost 0.2 on son after buying for 7.7 but didnt transfer out as i had other injured players who definitely were not going to play

  5. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What is my best option here....

    A...deeney to austin tonight before rise

    B...deeney to austin later in week

    Close...save

    Heaton pickford
    Mustafi Williams Evans holebas amat
    Sanchez Walcott firmino coutinho capoue
    Kun Benteke deeney

    Thanks

  6. newrob
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would have had 100 points if Firmino didn't put his minging torso on show

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was worth seeing it though, such a sexy boy

  7. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Before asking a question, imagine a giant flow chart, with a box for every player, then look at
    the bottom box with all the lines pointing too it.

    That is the box with Joe Allen written in it

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baffles me what silly Brendan played him so defensively

      1. FPL_Hazards
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *why

  8. Too Mane Men

    Walcott, Mane, Payet, Redmond, Allen,
    Ibra, Kun, Diomande

    1FT 0 ITB

    Any ideas much appreciated. Dropped from 12k OR to 44k this week 🙁

    1. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra --> Costa/Lukaku

  9. ALegendJ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm doing this sort of study around FPL !

    Can someone help me and find out the top 3 who scored the most points during October? so basically GW7, 8, 9 and 10.

    Much appreciated.

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

      Ibra

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cruel

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why not just check yourself? You the one doing the study

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        im sure there r computer wizards who can find out in a second

    3. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You mean players or teams?

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        players

    4. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      sort the transfer page by form, and then check one by one the top players on those list just to confirm the best 3

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        thank you

  10. JAC THE CAT

    Did Siggy just miss out on a bonus point?

    1. TotalJustice
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just missed on having awarded a penalty too 😐

  11. Tribecca
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Capoue to Allen?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yes im doing it 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

  12. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia/Deeney to Fuchs/Austin for -4?
    Valencia possibly falling and Austin possibly rising tonight

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Big yes here

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ta

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bought them both -4 this week along with Firmino, in for Kone, Sterling and Benteke

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Good moves. His are paying off this season

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            *hits

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia falling doesn't affect SV so I'll hold on that

  13. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Swansea already have Fer and Ki in midfield. All they need is someone called Nell.

    On another note. Not going to reveal my transfer other than to say that I own Arnie

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Arny to Whelan?

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      nelly the elephant up front

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Took me far too long to get this

  14. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    lallana to Allen
    Walcott to KDB
    Benteke to Austin ( Already own Redmond)

    all -4 hit

    yes or no

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

    Looks like 57 is the LMS safety score pre baps + autosubs.

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

      Is that the highest it has been this season?

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

        Yep, 48 in GW2 was the highest.

  16. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I made awful choices this week

    a -4 hit

    Took out Snodgrass and Coleman

    for

    Pieters and Lalanna

    Coleman got 6 points so I lost another 4 points

    Worse still I benched allen which cost me another 8 points

    Which means if I made no transfers I would have been 16 points better off!

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rough mate, unlucky. My 2 FTs were Shaqiri and Pieters for a haul of 2 points, but at least the players I took out did nothing ( Amat and Antonio). Would've played Stones if hadn't got Pieters in but could've been worse

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It is funny how one decision inadvertently has an unintended consequence to another

        In fairness to you if you had said stoke won 3-1 you would have thought shaqri was in the points somewhere (given his form)

        Hopefully getting on the coutinho train will make up a now 20 point cost including a 4 point hit for this week.

        Thanks! Pull the trigger tonight in case Austin rises?

  19. Team Cruel

    Who scores most points this GW only?

    A) Fuchs (WBA)
    B) Friend + 4p (mci)

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Fuchs

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years

      Odds favor Friend.

  20. camarozz

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Made a mistake on taking 0.1 rise on Heaton so held off. Didn't realise jaku dropped 0.1 so my transfer of capoue and jaku to de roon and Heaton is 0.2 short. My TV is 103.4 means damn all at the moment.

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pity mate, at least Krul Runnings will sympathise!

  21. Robben Mee Blind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    3 Sky captains this week:
    Sanchez: 16 x 2
    Hazard: 18 x 2
    Allen: 10 x 2 (assuming Bony got MoM)
    = 88 points. 2 points more than my entire FPL team 🙂

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

      Sounds like a daft game

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nowhere near as tough as FPL but good fun and can ease the pain of a bad week

  22. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Coleman Rose Holebas
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Son Capoue
    Aguero Costa

    Jaku Diomande Amat Love

    0.3 itb

    A) Capoue to Allen
    B) Son and Diomande to Allen and Austin -4

    Leaning towards B. Son is a bit of a deadweight at the moment and I would like Austin against Hull. Also gives me a bench option for Capoue.

    Thoughts?

  23. New Post
  24. Lav

    Who would you start for GK/DEF with this bunch for this week?

    Foster/Pickford
    Vertonghen/Williams/Friend/Smith

  25. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Deeney and Capoue > Austin and Allen for free?

    (Allen will be 5th mid)

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Looks good!

  27. EspanYOLO

    Did shaqiris injury look serious?

  29. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No point getting Allen now if you are going to bench him. Redmond is my 4 th mid so il hardly bench him and if I do Allen will blank and vice versa.

    It was good to see Doosra on here earlier. I seriously have missed the bloke cause he was my favourite poster & I always shaped my team around his comments.
