Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 10?

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.

      I like Toney (own him) but I’m not sold on that move.

      I wouldn't this week. Villa are bad at defending set pieces lately and Antonio's a real threat there.

      In fact Villas defence has been poor on the whole.

    1) Townsend to Mbuemo
    2) Roll transfer and start Townsend
    3) Roll transfer and start Livramento

    Does this need my wildcard? 2FT 0.9 ITB and not too sure what to do… do I sell CR7 before Spurs?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Cancelo Rudiger Semedo (Tierney* Livramento)
    Salah(c) Gray Sarr Raphinha* (Benrahma)
    Ronaldo Jimenez Antonio

      I would be considering Ronaldo&Sarr out for Vardy&Foden

      It’s a strong bench, I’d say too strong
      Might as well use the 2FT and wait to see if Spurs find form before wc’ing. Same for Brentford with their fixtures.
      Would normally suggest to sell Tierney but depends who you want to play from the bench
      If you sold Ronaldo it might allow Tierney to Trent

        Yep. Sanchez could obviously rack up the saves, but seems like the move.

          Agreed

          Pretty decent start to the season for you again Denial. Another top 10k and you might get a well deserved call for a meet the manager interview 🙂
