Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 10 deadline.

This week, it’s a goalkeeper special as David Munday examines the best men between the sticks.

As managers play the Wildcard in their droves this Gameweek, it has never been more important to assess which is the best shot-stopper combination, especially with so many highly-owned assets disappointing of late.

David uses the lesser-known elements of the Season Ticker and a deep-dive into the defensive numbers of every Premier League team, as well as some niche numbers reflecting a goalkeeper’s ability to make important saves, to find the answers you need.

The video is available to watch via the embedded link below.

There was also a live Q&A earlier today if you’re in the mood for more visual offerings, plus a whole host of other content in the Gameweek 10 playlist.

    Liverpool have all the defensive solidity of a wet paper towel.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Wet paper towels are very handy if there are no solids.

      Can you go check the PL table and compare the amount of goals the have conceded vs Spurs, City and Arsenal?

        I'm a Liverpool fan by the way before you get too spiky.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          City look more dodgy than us at times bro. We have played games with ten and 9 men.

            I'm talking specifically about this game to be fair. The few times that Toulouse have had the chance they've been able to carve through Liverpool with ease. Fortunately they are not very good, and our attacking prowess is carrying the day.

              I mean 3 of the 4 defenders playing are not our first choice. Our LB isn't even second choice

      2. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        How many clean sheets?

    3. panda07

      • 13 Years

      All defenses are like wet paper towels this year but Liverpool are the Bounty of them all.

      1. Kevin and Perry go
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        One sheet does plenty.

  2. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Have no idea what to do with this team I have 2FT.

    Areola (Turner)
    Burn Cash Udogie (Botman* Kabore)
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Diaby
    Haaland Watkins (Archer)

    A) Botman to Gabriel
    B) Botman to Tsimikas
    C) Suggestion?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      New template below might help you to decide. Good luck!

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      a

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A and get saka perhaps?

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

  3. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I made mine trades and set mine team up a day early! Because I don’t know what day it is! But at the very least we have a new template:

    Areola
    Cash, TAA, Porro
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Doug Luiz
    Watkins, Alvarez, Alvarez

    Turnip, Trippier, Taylor, Chukwuemeka

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Love the double Alvarez pick! 🙂

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        He is the Cing!!

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Well spotted Walder, I obviously did that on purpose to promote discussion of the new template. For those who haven’t been following the template, the Masked Forward masquerading as second Alverez is in fact Darwin Noonan Ribena!

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Naaaa... He has to Ser Oliver Wild King 🙂

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You sound like my father. He is 84. Long live The Great Talents!!!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Noonan?

      Good luck. I think I might go for TAA this week too

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        He is playing now vs Toulouse. I have seen him!!!

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I have faith in your advice, whatever happens!

    3. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great even with double Alvarez

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

      Nunez is a minutes risk fyi

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Fyi, fyi... Who fears risks, fears the Great Reward! Just for Thy to know.

        1. VGD
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Brave but could pay off I guess. Reliable when he does come on

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            I am not touching him yet tbh. I want to monitor him a little bit longer. Short term punt vs Ful and Shu is on the cards though if I am without Haaland then.

    5. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      It is the bravery of going without Haaland that shows you are truly a noble knight! I hope you succeed in your quest and I too will be ploughing a Haaland-less furrow!

      1. VGD
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I am already without Haaland and I agree with that

    6. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Brilliant and no moat in sight, raise the draw bridge. Lol funny.

  4. On WC

    A) Haaland, Tsimikas, Mitoma

    B) Son, Trippier, Maddison

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years

      b

    3. F4L
      • 10 Years

      B

    4. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B with Alvarez instead of son.

  5. MysticMac17
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this? Will I be ok without Watkins?

    Areola
    Trippier Cash Gabriel
    Salah Son Maddo Saka Palmer
    Alvarez Haaland

    Subs: Turner, Udogie, Archer, Kabore

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe, maybe not

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      At Max he ll score maybe 50 points over the next 5. Your replacement should score at least 25. Post those 5 you'd want to get rid of villa. So for the sake of at Max 25 points you are losing sleep. So ignore him if needed. Atleast this is what I'm telling myself

    3. F4L
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      no back to back hat tricks incoming...

      1. Hubert
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Damn it! I was hoping for back to back hat tricks.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      can't have them all...
      you have a great team without Watkins

    5. Pep’s little spit bal…
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch Haaland and Palmer for Watkins and Bowen

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Money? Free transfers? Route to get Watkins by losing Maddison?

    7. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Areola / Turner
      Trippier, Cash, Andersen, Udogie, Botman
      Salah, Son, Bowen, Palmer/Naka
      Watkins, Alvarez, Haaland
      0 ft, 0.4 itb

      Can I make it without Saka(?)

    8. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Haland and cash to Watkins an Trent.

  6. The Parrot
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Final jiggery pokery I think

    No.58 Saka and Son draft

    A) Bowen and Trippier
    B) Son and Guehi

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      A

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B supposing you can bench Guehi this week

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Or maybe not...

    4. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

  7. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Taking a -4 here, but it must be done I think…

    A) Maddison + Archer -> Palmer + Watkins

    B) Foden + Mbeumo -> Palmer + Son

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B.. since it removes 2 problems for 2 good players

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      The one where you keep maddi

  8. F4L
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Worth considering Son or Watkins captain over Salah?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Watkins yes, Son no(not over Salah).

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Consider yes but I think Salah is the least risky option

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Son only playing an hour puts me off, and think Watkins will be the same this week.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        80 minutes

    4. F4L
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      cheers all

    5. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on Watkins over salah is that right?

  9. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Mitoma is passing his audition well. Watching the game so I can decide on Diaby vs mitoma and he is playing brilliantly. Just got the fantasy assist for Pedro too

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Ie brilliant cut and shot on target.. rebounded to Pedro who scores

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      yeah looking sharp, main player who is making things happen

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Mitoma looks always sharp. Even when he is not getting points. That's the problem with him.

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Need mitoma toCome off early though

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Worried Mbeumo may drop tnite. So I'm staying up just to watch mitoma and see how he plays plus check he goes off early uninjured lol

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Yeh comes off early defo get him

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Could have scored two versus city the weekend

    5. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      How's Adingra looking?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Tbh I've only noticed mitoma and Pedro in this game. Everything flowing through them. I didn't even realise adingra was playing.

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Ah ok cheers. It's either him or Palmer for me as it stands. Tough choice

          1. VGD
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Soucek of West Ham also an option.
            Can you not stretch the budget to Gordon then?

            1. Yozzer
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              Unfortunately I can't get to Gordon. Worried about Soucek losing his place as Kudus could play there. Hate Palmer's fixtures too. Was hoping for an Adingra master class

              1. VGD
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 1 month ago

                I'd go Palmer then but you're right it is difficult to decide

                1. Yozzer
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 1 month ago

                  Thanks 🙂

      hows adingra looking?

      1. Sure You Did
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Looking sharp and getting into good positions.

    7. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Mitoma is the new son.

  10. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on these 2FT

    Maddison and Porro to Saka and Tsimikas/Gabriel

    A) yeah
    B) no

    TIA

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't lose Maddison. But would do Porro to Gabriel

      1. Kevin and Perry go
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Sound advice vgd.

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison Porro to Saka Gabriel for free?
    Reckon higher upside than the former?

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I don't know about selling Spurs assets that are doing well.
      I get there is a bit of a fixture swing but just looking at the next 2 games I think the Spurs players might outscore the Arsenal ones

    2. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Nar

  12. TBL
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watching Trent tonoght? His fixtures are better than Trippier so could be tempting

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Form not worth spending the money on, I feel

    2. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Complete waste of money. Get Tsim if you want pool def.

  13. AF90
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What shall I do here? 1FT, 0.4 itb. Need Watkins & probably a defensive transfer too. Still have WC but think I should save it.

    Areola
    Udogie Cash Gabriel
    Salah Son Saka Diaby Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez

    Turner Botman Kabore Mubama

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland for Watkins? Can handle defence next week

    2. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Botman to 3.9.

  14. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Udogie to Gabriel for free? Yey or Nei?

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  15. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Why Gabriel over Tsimikas?

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool not so good with clean sheets and Gabriel is nailed on to play full mins.

    2. Firmino
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Tsimikas is the better pick for the next two. Gabriel better pick longterm.

      1. Firmino
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Tsimikas rested against Toulouse as well.

    3. The Parrot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Better team?
      More nailed?
      Is any of this true?

      1. VGD
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Tsimikas will probably start but will he play 60+ mins? Gabriel has more attacking threat from set-pieces especially

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Isak > Álvarez for Bournemouth at (h) or Darwin @ Luton?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I will have both in the next few weeks, which one first for the fixture above?

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Have Wilson rather than Isak, who is currently out injured. Of all three though Alvarez is the best

      1. VGD
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry meant of both. Defo Alvarez

  17. Big Ronnie

    2FT and £0.1m ITB. I want Saka/Arsenal players for their upcoming run but don't really want to sell Son so would need a downgrade somewhere.
    Best option below? Cheers.

    A) Son to Saka
    B) Porro & Maddison to Guehi & Saka
    C) TAA & Maddison to White/Gabriel & Saka
    D) Porro to Gabriel
    E) Something else

    Areola
    TAA, Trippier, Cash
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Bowen
    Watkins, Alvarez, Darwin

    Turner, Porro, Taylor, Chukwuemeka

    Watching first half highlites
    Is Mitoma playing in the #10

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years

      Nope. Doing his usual cutting in from the left.

    A.Maddison+Anderson>Martinelli+Palmer?
    B. Maddison+Anderson>Saka+4.3

    Opinion: Maddison outscores Saka over the next 4

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years

      That's what I'm hoping. Feel for Saka owners though

        • 2 Years

        Why do you feel for Saka owners?

        1. VGD
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Cause they may end up wasting a transfer to trade one in-form player for another.

          1. Sure You Did
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            What? There is no way Saka owners will swap him out for anyone.

      This is what worries me and quite possible but feels like not having Saka will put us quite a way behind if he goes off! And Sheffield utd are pants at the mo!

    Son -> Saka nonsense?

    1. winchester
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not necessarily if it enables another transfer with the extra funds.

  23. winchester

    Have 2ft and 0,8m itb. Any ideas what to do with the ft? Can't really fit in watkins, so thinking saka or mitoma.

    1. VGD

      Haaland for Watkins allows you to upgrade your midfield if you want Saka

    2. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Diaby to Saka and if you need funds, drop one of Son or Madd.

      1. winchester
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Can do madds to saka.

    3. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If you have to drop a Spurs midfielder, drop Maddison. Son is a must hold

      1. winchester
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Can do madds to saka in one move. Reckon madds is ok to lose?

    Alvarez Jwp and Mbueno to
    Watkins Palmer and Mitoma
    For a minus 4.
    Yes ?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I would do Gordon instead of Palmer if you can.
      Palmer has worse fixtures.

    hey guys, how would you rate my wc this week?

    areola

    trippier, gabriel, pau, tsimikas

    salah, saka, bowen, mitoma

    haaland, watkins

    (turner, gordon, guehi, archer)

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      10/10

  26. Manani
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Likelihood of mitoma not starting? My bench is non existent. Other option I’m considering is Gordon

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      He'll start hopefully.

  27. STONEROSES
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    On WC - which is better:

    A. Trippier, Maddison, Archer
    B. Guehi, Mitoma, Darwin

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

      Don't fall for the Darwin temptation. That only ends one way imo

    3. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A safer, but B higher ceiling...

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

      A. Trippier and Maddison two of the best players rn

  28. We Go Again

    Transferring out Porro for Gabriel just feels wrong, but only way to fund Maddison -> Saka. I imagine I am not the only one struggling in a similar situation

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I'm keeping Maddison and not going down the Saka route

  29. I Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen or Darwin?

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen all the way

  30. Starskyb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 1 month ago

    So is Saka now essential.l? I've got 2FT.

    Do you lovely people reckon I do

    A) porro and maddison to tsimikas and saka
    B) neto and maddison to palmer and saka
    C) son to saka and bank ft
    D) something else entirely!!

    Thanks

      I'd keep your Spurs midfielders tbh. Returning well and should do just as well as Saka
