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

    Allen really is a terrific player

      He is very good. I don't like watching him as a non owner

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rangel is on for him now though

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

        Kingsley is in under 23 match atm so maybe thats why he didn't come on

    Arnie has been such a disappointing punt...

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

      Bad luck for the lad.

    Nice Grant save

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

    Arnie minus baps as well for missing a big chance. FML

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

      First we worry about him scoring/assisting.

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

        Arnie punt well and truly gone to the shhhtters. At least with Shaqiri one would have some points, even tho they both where from out of the box

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

          I feel you. He has been so close so many times.

  13. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    A few of these players will be getting at rocket up their ass at HT

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

    Best 4.9 defender? Brunt? Cedric? Simpson?
    (excluding Holebas, Smith, Stoke)

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

      Cedric

  15. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Allen Chadli or Redmond

    1. Athletic Dildao
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I've just brought in Redmond. Hull next then a decent run.

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

        Redmond

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

      im taking a punt on stanislas or king depending on team news

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

        King is like Allen shots-wise but without the creativity to go with it

  16. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Stoke should buy N'Zonzi back

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

      He could use his height to get on the end of some Rory Delap throw-ins after they sign him back up as well.

  17. Jar Jar Winks
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    if you are wild carding what team would you guys choose.

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

      Dream team

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

      Heaton Pickford
      4m 4.5m 4.5m 4.8m 5m
      Sanchez Hazard Allen Coutinho Redmond
      Aguero Costa Lukaku

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

      What team would you choose?

    4. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Heaton Pickford
      Holebas Smith McCauley Walker (3.9 Bench Fodder)
      Hazard Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Chadli/Allen
      Lukaku Aguero (3.9 Bench Fodder)

  18. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I blame that skunk on Arnys head for him missing that, must have come back from the dead and spooked him

  19. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think lukaku will blank v chelsea gonna bench him

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

      he may well do but if everton score chances are he will be involved so no chance im doing that, besides my bench is woeful

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

        Well it's either him or Allen

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

      I'm banking on him haunting his former club

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

      troll can score against anyone like he showed against city

      will be eager to put one past his old club

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

      Good luck.

  20. Lukey27

    whats wrong with Naughton?

  21. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    That bloody post denies me of a 2nd Allen assist

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Good job post .

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

      no it didn't, Arnie did

  22. amsemp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Victor Moses as a cheap route into the Chelsea midfield? Has a goal and an assist in his last four games and provided plenty of attacking threat on Sunday. Only £5.5m

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He nailed though?

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

        Looks to be at the moment. Has played a key role in their turnaround in form and Ivanovic doesn't have the legs to play wing back.

      2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        *This. Willian's absence is not permanent I don't think.

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

          I think Willian will be competing with Hazard and Pedro for the left and right forward role. Don't think he'll trouble Alonso or Moses as wing backs.

          1. Bun Rab
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Willian will be competing with Pedro*

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

              Agreed haha

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

      could work but as with Milner doesnt seem like value when he not getting cs points

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can't have everything. An attacking def returning points while also in a team keeping cleanies for 5.5m Everyone would have that player!

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

      Not for me

  23. Says
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pieters. You almost just say Peters, but that 'i' makes you do something weird.

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

      No it doesn't

  24. Partick Bateman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Not watching the game, what kind of injury for Shaqiri? Flat tyre etc.

  25. Belsunz

    The Welsh midfield Maestro on 3 bps atm

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

      Rightly so, best player on the pitch by a mile... not that it counts for much mostly

      1. Partick Bateman
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hey WR, do you reckon he can work as a 4th mid for the next few weeks?

        Have Shaqiri replacement to line up.

  26. Says
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Joe Allen or Fer?

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

      Allen. I am convinced now.

      1. Says
        • 15 Years

    Gundogan worth a punt?

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

    2. Belsunz

      Not convinced. Need another week. How about Allen?
