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

    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

      You'll get more luck after the match.
      Better off watching the games midweek but Valencia is the obvious out if you don't attack and he's not a good GK.

    I can afford both
    Redmond or Tadic
    (Hull next followed by a decent run)
    Cheers

    1. FPL Puppy

      Redmond. Tadic seems to rotate with the new guy (don't know his name).

    Shaqiri's next wondergoal is scheduled in 8-10 gws just to let you guys know

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

    I love Siggy

    He's so attacking and always looking at playing forward

  6. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Shaqiri preggers?

    Heaton

    Walker / Valencia / Holebas

    Walcott / Coutinho / Allen / Sterling

    Benteke / Luka / Kun

    Subs: Capoue / Amat / Van Aanholt

    1.5 itb.

    My original plan for this week was Sterling > Hazzard FT as I think they are both going different directions price-wise so don't want to miss the window. However injury now means I am thinking Valencia > Alonso and fixtures Benteke > Austin for -8.

    Don't normally like taking -8 hits but need to replace Valencia and Austin has Hull next GW so thinking this might be worth it?

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

      Bench Valencia for one GW, re-asses during international break.

      Benteke + Sterling -> Austin + Hazard would be my choice.

    I'm still in hope of them moving that assist..clutching at straws arnt I?

    2. jiGGidyJ1
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why would they remove it? His scuffed shot led to a goal. It's an assist.

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      a ghost assist, story checks out

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

      I've just actually bothered to read the rules ...I don't know what I'm saying clearly.

      Remove it anyway fpl

    Eurgh... brought Shaqiri in instead of Siggy, and to make matters worse I've already used my transfer this week for Heaton's price rise!

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

      I would say unlucky, but you know how it is 😛

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's what you get.

      1. Speaking Words of Wisdom, R…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, totally my fault! That's the rough to the smooth of the rest of my gameweek I guess

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

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

      He'll be back up top soon

  11. Hank Scorpio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Shaqiri ---> Coutinho
    and
    Walker ---> Morgan

    Look decent for 2 FTs? I have 0.1 in hand on the trades so would wait for a touch more news this week on other players before confirming.

    Heaton - Foster
    Bellerin - Walker - Holebas - Pieters - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Walcott - Shaqiri - Fletcher
    Aguero - Austin - Bony

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      same here, i was hoping grant would keep a cs too but now i have to wait and see if he saves a penalty

  23. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Chuck Adam close to goal of the season, but no luck for the former Blackpool wunderkind.

  24. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Cameron would have buried these chances

    If Charlie Adam was guaranteed minutes and a bit less fat and crap, I might consider buying him.

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

    Too late to hop on the Allen Wagon ?

    Or is he still a good option. (Capoue owner)

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

      He's still a very good option. Don't know what price he's now though. Question is - will he be your 5th or 4th mid?

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

        5th mid
