The Gameweek 10 captaincy debate, if we can call it that, has only been about one Fantasy Premier League (FPL) name so far: Mohamed Salah (£12.9m).

There are some appealing matches elsewhere, however, with free-scoring Manchester City up against Crystal Palace at the Etihad, and Chelsea taking on a Newcastle United side still without a clean sheet.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 10 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

In a predictably one-sided captain poll, Mohamed Salah is the clear leader, having gained a whopping 76.3% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) sits in second, and is backed by 3.57% of FPL managers ahead of his home tie against Arsenal.

Phil Foden (£8.2m) occupies third-place with 2.86%, with the top-five list completed by Kai Havertz (£8.1m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m), with 1.93% and 1.47% respectively.

      Jansson, i do like Mitchell is you can bench this week tho

  2. Kompanjongene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you say is the change for Alonso and/or Christensen to play?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      low

      1. Kompanjongene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I knew that. Question is really if I should go - 4 or not to replace one of them

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          depends if you have a playing bench

          1. Kompanjongene
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Only Livramento. So risk playing just two in defence

        2. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          alonso to chillwell or cancelo sounds good for a hit, will pay you back long term

        3. ilikewud

          He answered the question that you asked. This is a different question.

          1. Kompanjongene
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            My bad

    2. Supernintendo Chalmers
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I hesitated on taking a -4 for this exact transfer last GW (Alonso to Chilly) and look what happened.
      I did it this week for free but its cost me net 8 points!

  3. AzzaroMax99

    Everything in order here?

  4. Poison Apple

    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A. Play Gallagher
    B. -4 for Foden
    C. -4 for Mount
    D. -4 for Son

    Some ideas please. Used the FT already.

        Sorry - meant B

    2. Supernintendo Chalmers
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Id say Son from that list for long term.
      Foden is subject to a benching despite form.
      As a Foden owner

    At a loss with what to do here. A lot of flags to navigate

    Ramsdale Foster
    Cancelo Azpi Rudiger Tierney** Livra
    Salah Raph** Mbuemo** ESR 4.5
    Ronaldo Vardy Antonio

    0.0 in the bank and just the one free

    Any ideas?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save, looks positive for Raph and Mbuemo

    2. DayOldBlues
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm. Could go Mbeumo to Kovacic?!

      Don't know the latest on his injury other than it was hamstring

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Frank implied Mbeumo should be fit for Sunday. I'd guess it's not guaranteed but likely he'll start

  9. tankle

    Sort these options by playing/benching order:

    A) Livramento

    Do a move (e.g. get in Foden, Chilwell, other..) or keep FT and have more flexibility for next GW's transfers?
    1FT; 2.5m itb

    Foster
    TAA, Cancelo, Rüdiger, Livramento
    Salah, Raphina, Benrahma
    Vardy, Antonio, Toney

    Sanchez, Saka, Semedo, Gilmour

    made the decision to go 2 LFC, 2 CFC & 2 MCFC GK/Defenders are these the right 6? Did start with Mendy but the FBs offer to much points
    LFC - Robbo & TAA (& Salah)
    CFC - Chilwell & James (& Mount)
    MCFC - Ederson & Cancelo (& Foden)

    rest of the team is
    GK - Foster
    Def
    Mid - Salah, Foden, Mount, ESR & Mbuemo
    Att - Toney, Antonio, Hwang
    0.6m in the bank

          You win, nothing is below Ronaldo. Up the pool!

  25. balint84

    Are any Villa defenders recommended?

  26. dansully3
    • 9 Years

    Saka has been as disappointing as Havertz for me! Last chance saloon considering esr is cheaper.
