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

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I know how you feel, I did Holding/Walcott > Holebas/Coutinho for a hit

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

        If it's any consolation you are still 500000 places ahead of me 😀

  12. Syd.

    Shakira has a fat bottom

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

    So Stoke conceded. What should i do ?

    A) Go to bed. My time here is done

    B) Enjoy a neutral high scoring match and scout likes of Siggy and Stoke mids

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

      C) Bids your time and wait for a second half Jordi Amat hat-trick off the bench.

  14. Z
    • 9 Years

    Any love for Vokes?

    Walcott, Deeney > KDB, Vokes

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

      or as above,
      Walcott, Deeney, Valencia > KDB, Austin, Cedric

      HITS

  15. The Bandit

    Nice free kick routine 😀

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

    No fair, so Bony gets to score against Swansea but Benteke couldn't score against Liverpool for my FPL team

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

      Didn't think Bony was allowed to play against his parent club

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

        His parent club is City. Facepalm.

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    lol

  18. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Went into this game neck & neck with my rival for a pretty decent prize in manager of the month.

    Him: Pieters + 3

    Me: Sigurdsson

    I think I finish top if it's level. I'm surely favourite now?

  19. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Which is better?

    A) Valencia -> 5,5 def for a hit maybe Brunt/ Stones/ Dann (If Valencia is to miss more than a game maybe its preferable since i ll also avoid price drop and avoid MUN extremely difficult fixtures)

    B) Play Holebas (liv)

    1. Js31
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did Fuchs. Great fixtures particularly at home

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Allen is so adding to his attacking returns tonight

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

      Is that a Jinx or is he playing that well

  21. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin Shaqiri out Firmino VVD in

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

      Why are you shifting Shaqiri now?

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I feel like a liverpool mid is more important. If shaqiri does something today ill keep him

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

          Agree, but pretty short sighted getting Shaqiri in in the first place then

          1. Kante Be Bothered
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yea that was a mistake on my part. Had Antonio and had to wanted to get rid.

  22. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton
    Clyne Vertonghen Evans
    Antonio Firmino Coutinho Snoddy
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero

    Pickford Pieters Capoue Amat

    1 FT & 0 ITB

    A Snoddy to Gundogan?
    B Snoddy & Ibra to Hazard & Austin for a hit?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why?

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

          Becouse its much better. Gundogan plays normaly in deep MC position and when Silva and de Bruyne are back he wil move to hes normal position which is deep CM.

  23. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Its big booty gw; Bony, Azzard and Aguero scoring. Charlie could be next.

  24. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Nice pass there Llorente

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bob Bradley looks like a bloke who drinks down at the local pub

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It might be him

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is this the year of the holding midfielder? Loads of them doing well all of a sudden - Capoue, Allen, Matic, Can, Gundogan... All getting goals & assists this year

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Missed out Cattermole, Rodwell, Rooney

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      All in clumps, question is who will be the next clump to explode

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think you will find they are probably playing further forward and in a more attacking role even do we might classify them as holding midfielders.

  27. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Cmon Allen, get a goal now so i can get 100pts for the first time!

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      all i needed was him to grab an A (no yc pls)

      😉

    2. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This

  28. L S P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This match is already perfect: Allen pts and no CS for either side - yippee!

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yep perfect... Allen and Cameron owner - getting the Stones points of the bench.

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        ooo - nice!

        Glad i didn't listen to everyone who said get Pieters over Blind this wk. 😉

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          good call... Keeping Blind?

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

    Thoughts on the folowwing Team for gw11 2FT +0.5m ITB

    GK: Dea (Valencia)

    DEF: Stones, VanDijk, Morgan (Valencia, Williams)

    MID: Sanches, Firmino, Lallana, Redmond (Walcott)

    STR: Benteke, Lukaku, Wilson

    Looking to get Aguero in somehow for the first time this season

  30. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    Go on Allen you beauty, a goal and I'm hitting treble figures.
    Come on baby!
