The Gameweek 10 press conferences begin on Thursday, with four Premier League managers set to face the media.

All the key quotes will be in the ‘live’ blog below, which we’ll update this afternoon.

The managers of the other 16 Premier League clubs will host pre-match pressers on Friday.

KEY GAMEWEEK 10 INJURY UPDATES FROM THURSDAY

THURSDAY’S PRESS CONFERENCE TIMES

MANCHESTER UNITED

Lisandro Martinez (knee) is back in training but won’t feature for Manchester United this weekend.

The defender has been on the sidelines for the best part of eight months and needs time to build his fitness.

“He wants to go to this one; he is not going to this one. He is going to take time. He started training with us but we had to change some things in the exercise for him, so slowly he is going to get better.

“He is really good, he is really good, and he gives us that edge in every training session that is also really good for us.” – Ruben Amorim on Lisandro Martinez

Harry Maguire (knock) remains a doubt but Ruben Amorim doesn’t seem to have any other concerns for the clash with Nottingham Forest.

“The rest of the guys, we have one more day [of training]. I don’t know about Harry Maguire. I think the rest is fit.” – Ruben Amorim

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Chris Wood (knee), Dilane Bakwa (unspecified), Oleksandr Zinchenko (muscle) and Ola Aina (hamstring) all remain sidelined for the Manchester United game.

Wood could be back in Gameweek 11.

Back-up goalkeeper Angus Gunn (knee) has been added to the injury list, meanwhile.

Sean Dyche otherwise reported some “knocks” in his squad.

“Angus Gunn, who is not currently playing but obviously part of the squad, has opened up his knee ligaments.

“Woody is going to be possible for the Leeds game, he won’t make this one. We’ll have to see how that goes.

“Ola is making good progress.

“Zinchenko is a ‘no’ at the moment, unfortunately. A bit longer than we thought.

“Bakwa is still a ‘no’ but making good progress.

“We’re hoping no more occur, that’s for sure. A few knocks but nothing other too serious at the moment.” – Sean Dyche

LEEDS UNITED

Daniel Farke says he has no concerns for the trip to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Gabriel Gudmundsson is fine after he was forced out of the West Ham United match last Friday with a dead leg.

The only other flagged Leeds player, Wilfried Gnonto (hernia), is now back in training. While he won’t start in Gameweek 10, he is a possible option for the bench.

“I have nothing to report, nothing to complain about. No illnesses, no injuries. So, everyone in training, we have a proper group. Everyone is available, proper competition.

“[Gnonto] has trained for the first time… his first full training week. He’s definitely, after being out so long, not a topic for the starting line-up, definitely not, but he had the first full training week.

“We will see if we take [Gnonto] already perhaps even with us to the game.

“Loads of competition at the moment, no one is missing, so I like it.” – Daniel Farke

BURNLEY

We didn’t hear any team news in the broadcast section of Scott Parker’s presser on Thursday – not that we were aware of any concerns anyway.

Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Connor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are the long-term absentees.

    Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards expected to return in time to face Brentford. Scans on his calf have shown no tear.

    A. JP + Kudus > Mateta + Sarr
    B. JP + Reijnders > Thiago + Sarr
    C. Gyo + JP + Reijnders + Richard’s > Thiago + Mateta + Sarr + Timber (-4)

    (Reijnders currently benched every week )

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A if rein bench every week

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Think so. Will go Kroupi Jr route as I spent BB chip already

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      B

      Kudus will at least offer you some points potential.

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      If you're benching Reijnders every week, might as well downgrade him to a 5m mid

    4. Bobkat
      • 3 Years

      C

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Reijnders no point owning if hes benched every week.

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        I agree, but not sure if the Mateta vs Thiago trade off is worth it

  3. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    JP drop tomorrow. Time to sell him?

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I think so. Sunderland was his last chance for me.

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Think so. Will go Kroupi Jr route as I spent BB chip already.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Yeah, but I sold him 2 weeks ago on WC anyway.

    3. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I sold him to Mateta already. I fully expect a JP brace and Mateta blank.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I am eyeing up benching him and going for that Wolves fixture

  4. MShalkz
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Stuck between these sets of moves. Have 4 Free Transfers (0.8 ITB):

    A) Gordon and Bowen out for Mateta and Mbuemo
    B) Richards, Gyok, Gordon and Bowen out for Mukiele, Woltemade, Saka and Mateta

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      A

    2. Ëð

  5. Ronnies

    Any update from Farke on Gudmundsson?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      If only there was an article talking about it.. 🙄

      1. Ronnies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Ooops!

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 8 days ago

          Ha, we’ve all done it

  6. MetallicaJack93
    • 2 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Correct bench?

    Pope
    Gab Timber Guehi
    Saka Semenyo Gakpo Caicedo
    Haaland Mateya Woltemade
    Dub Reijnders Rodon Senesi

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Yep G2G

  7. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Which pair scores more over the next 5-6 GWs?

    A: Mateta + Anthony
    B: Thiago + Mbeumo

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      *already have Sarr from Palace

    2. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A

  8. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Is Kudus -> Mbuemo for a hit worthwhile?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Not for me

    2. GCHILD2K16
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 7 days ago

      Definitely. All day, every day. Mbuemo scored 2 last game and faces a weaken nfo this week plus man u are starting to click.
      Kudus has had 2 good wks in 9.

  9. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Raya
    Gabriel-VVD-Munoz
    Semenyo-Reijnders-Gakpo-Gordon
    Haaland-Gyökeres-Pedro

    Dubravka, King, Andersen, Senesi

    3 FT. Already decided to do J Pedro&Reijnders to Mateta&Sarr, but i need fund those moves by selling?
    A. Gordon to Minteh
    B. Andersen to Tuanzebe(already used BB)
    C. Virgil to to max 5.4 defender?

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      C

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Who do you recommended?

        1. Ëð
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 8 days ago

          Burn?

          1. Legohair
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 8 days ago

            Hmm, might be good move

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      C - Keane/Rodon/Mukiele/Alderete

    3. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I'd say B. VVD good for Defcon and nailed at least with some better upcoming fixtures. Andersen likely injured

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Pool fixtures are turning awesome soon yes.

  10. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Think I've cracked it, what do we think of this team?!

    Donnarumma (Dubravka)

    Gabriel, Timber, Guehi (Senesi, Gudmundsson)

    Saka, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Sarr (Caicedo)

    Haaland, Woltemade, Thiago.

    0.3 ITB

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      14/15

      Rodon over Gud, or is that knee jerky? In fact, probably a Sunderland defender over a Leeds one?

  11. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Would you double up on palace atrack and bring in Sarr? Have Mateta and Munoz too.
    Or go with Minteh?
    Looking for a Stach replacement

    1. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I already have all three of those for Palace. I think it will work out, Sarr scored 2 in the cup too.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      In isolation, I prefer Sarr over Minteh. It depends on your risk appetite whether you’re comfortable with a triple-up or prefer to diversify. The 0.5m price difference is also a factor to consider.

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      If u have the cash I would go for sarr over minteh

    4. GCHILD2K16
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 7 days ago

      Nope, sarr is too inconsistent. Don't get the minteh move either..welbeck only one worth gettjng for Brighton.
      Stach replacement: buendia, chel mid, tavernir

  12. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Salaaah!

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Been a while haven’t seen one of those

  13. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    A)Gudmundsson or b) reinldo as bench fooder? leeds slightly easier fixtures

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Probably Gabby for this reason. As a Leeds fan he has been great as well and has some attacking threat so would go for him.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Thanks

  14. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Thoughts appreciated on WC. Is Saka worth the downgrades elsewhere?

    X, Dubravka
    Gabriel, Munoz, Senesi, Rodon, X
    X, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Sarr, 4.5
    Haaland, Mateta, X

    A) Raya, Mukiele, Saka, Welbeck
    B) Pope, Timber, Eze, Woltemade

    Also worth buying Senesi for 5.0 or go to Thiaw 4.9?
    and Josh King for 4.5 or Miley/Irving for 4.4 as have used by BB anyway

    1. Dee Lixon
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Don't think he is so B looks better
      Senesi
      King (safer bets)

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        Thanks. If Eze hadn't played alot of minutes last night I don't think I'd be debating it.

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          1 month, 8 days ago

          Fair enough. He scored the winner in their last EPL game though. Personally, I don’t see it as a debate.

          1. Bucket Man
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 7 days ago

            Do you prefer B?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 7 days ago

        Thank you.

  15. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Made two transfers already and one FT left.
    Here’s how I’m set up with 1.7m itb.

    Raya
    Virgil - Munoz - Gabriel - Senesi
    Reijnders - Semenyo - Gordon - Bruno
    Haaland - Mateta

    Dubravka - Stach - Andersen - Muniz

    Which is best move:

    A) Stach to Sarr
    B) Stach to Rice
    C) Stach to Minteh
    D) Bruno to Saka
    E) Muniz to Thiago
    F) Muniz to Welbeck
    G) Hold and play Andersen if fit (roll onto 2 FT’s next gw)

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A. Although I'd maybe do Reijnders as more expensive then Stach and both not looking good options

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A

    3. GCHILD2K16
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 7 days ago

      Do F and reijinders to rice

  16. STRNATOR
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Kudu or Sarr or Caisedo for the following weeks?

    Thank you!

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Sarr

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Sarr

    3. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Sarr

    4. GCHILD2K16
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 7 days ago

      None of them.
      If you insist caicedo as sarr too inconsistent and struggles against bigger teams with solid defenses.
      Consider neto

  17. GE
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    1) VdV -> Calafiori (can’t afford Timber)
    2) VdV -> Munoz
    3) VdV and Bruno -> Timber and Mbeumo
    4) VdV, Chalobah and Xhaka -> Timber, Munoz and 4.3 mid (-4)

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      3 just for me. But also can't go wrong with A or B

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      3

  18. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    On a wildcard, should i go:
    1/ timber and petrovic
    Or
    2/ senesi and raya

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      2

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      2

  19. Solly The Seagull
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Start one?

    A) Diouf
    B) Rodon
    C) Senesi

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      B

  20. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Is Sunderland already out of the cup? They didnt play this midweek. Wanted an update on Alderete..

    1. Kane Train
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Yeah. They lost to Huddersfield Town

  21. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Would you do Kudus > Ndiaye

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Feels a bit sideways, especially for this week.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      no

    3. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Nooo Everton fixtures not the best or even good

  22. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    3FT. 0.0 ITB.

    VVD > Burn
    Paquetá > Sarr
    João Pedro > Woltemade

    Good moves?

    1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Not sure would I get rid of Pool defender at this point, they have nice fixtures coming up

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

        I agree, but without money something has to give in. I personally downgraded my 5th mid to Essugo (4.3) and kept VvD.

        1. The Iceman
          • 3 Years
          1 month, 8 days ago

          I will get VVD back at some point if I see any sign of improvement - but at this point he's eating up too many funds.

  23. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Which is better?
    A) Pedro -> Thiago
    B) Pedro+Caicedo -> Mateta+Xhaka(-4) Xhaka as permabench 8th attacker

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      I prefer Mateta to Thiago but don't like losing Caicedo for a -4, so A.

  24. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    any defenders outside of Arsenal/Palace/Senesi to have recommended? Fixtures for SUN and VDV not great

    Keane?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      Fulham?

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        no interest, but thanks

    2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      James/Chalobah

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 8 days ago

        it does look like the way

  25. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 8 days ago

    Right
    Just did Gyokeres to Mateta.
    Currently playing Reinders

    Worth a -4 to do either
    A. Romero to Gabriel to give me triple Ars defence play 4-4-2
    B. Reinders to Iwobi who has WOL eve SUN
    C. Richarlison to Raul/Muniz

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 8 days ago

      A

  26. Stranger Mings

    Acheampong the best 3 9m def over tuazenbe (burnley) & bijlol ( leeds)? Thabks
