With Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our pundits are starting to finalise their teams before Saturday’s deadline.

FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, is fully committed to going without Mohamed Salah (£14.3m) and Erling Haaland (£14.8m) this season. He shares his latest thoughts below.

General no Salah Haaland

GAMEWEEK 9 REVIEW

FPL General’s Gameweek 10 team reveal + transfer plans 1

Just the 42 points, meaning that when Haaland finally blanked, I still managed to get a red arrow!

It turns out that having alternative forwards who continually don’t score goals isn’t the best counter strategy. That’s why improving that position is my priority for this week.

Not having Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.5m) did more damage, too. He’s coming in for Gameweek 10, regardless of what Mikel Arteta says about him. The initial Gabriel funding plan was to downgrade Matheus Cunha (£7.9m) to Enzo Fernandez (£6.7m). But with Cunha scoring against Brighton and Hove Albion while Enzo blanked, that bit didn’t work out too badly. 

Points on the bench are always frustrating, but I was never starting Pedro Porro (£5.5m) away to Everton. He’s likely to be the one making way for Gabriel. 

Meanwhile, captain Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m) left points on the table in that Brighton match. He had a couple of good opportunities to score, and Bryan Mbeumo (£8.2m) hit the post from a chance he created.

At least he reached the defensive contributions (DefCon) threshold once more. Although a few big captaincy hauls are needed over the coming weeks.

      As a counterpoint to the boom and bust - individual game weeks do not matter as much as your final total or score over an extended period. If you think Arsenal keep significantly more clean sheets than anyone else it's a good strategy despite you potentially having swingy game weeks depending on if they concede or not.

      You need also for your attackers to match the Arsenal attackers and Saka is one of few alternative Captains to Haaland.

        I only need the other attackers to match Arsenal if the other defenders match the Arsenal defence !

        Not sure Saka is value even as an alternative captain, he’s playing spurs when Haaland is playing Newcastle it’s not exactly much better given spurs’ away form. Semenyo, Mbeumo and Gabriel are captain material there for me if anything happened to Haaland

    Is getting Gakpo a bad idea? Villa should be alright and post that the fixtures are good. There is City but that has to be an open game with both the sides not too good defensively and wanting to win. Thinking of Kudus to Gakpo.

      I'd play King if I had him. I think he's better than most of your defenders.

    Is going without saka on WC a disaster? Rest of the squad can look so much better without.

      Not a disaster but a tricky question. He’s the most likely Arsenal mid to get points and likely on pens, but not sure if he is worth the money myself. Are you getting Rice, Eze or triple defence instead?

        I'd get one of rice or eze. Probably rice.

        I still have BB to play and like to get sure starters for Xmas time, so much as kroupi is enticing now, I wonder if the saka money is better spread around.

          If you’ve got BB then spreading is the best option. I’ve used BB and leaning towards Eze. Good luck

            Thanks. The other thing I hadn't clocked was the free AFCON transfers in gw16. A chance to have a change around anyway

      Probably not

      Unless Senesi gets involved you're relying on Reijnders & Mukiele this weekend.

      Logically

      You never know tho.
