We are here with our best FPL tips this week for Gameweek 10 of the 26-27 Season. Gameweek 10 presents several interesting opportunities for Fantasy Premier League managers, with favourable fixtures for Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton. From investing in defensive assets to choosing the right captain, making smart decisions could help you gain valuable points and improve your overall rank.
Here are our top five FPL Gameweek 10 tips, covering the players and strategies worth considering ahead of the deadline.
1. Hull City Could Make Triple Arsenal Defence a Smart Strategy
Arsenal's home fixture against Hull City makes their defensive assets particularly attractive this week. In fact, investing in three Arsenal defenders could be a rewarding strategy for FPL managers.
We expect Hull to adopt a defensive approach, similar to Nottingham Forest and Everton in their earlier encounters against Arsenal this season. Both sides struggled to break down the Gunners, resulting in clean-sheet victories.
Hull could face similar difficulties, making David Raya, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori particularly appealing options. Arsenal's defensive strength and the favourable fixture provide an excellent opportunity for managers to target multiple clean-sheet returns. Moreover, you could always get those extra attacking returns if lucky with Arsenal Defenders like Calafiori & Gabriel.
2. Make Sure You Have Palmer and Rogers in Your Team
Chelsea's fixture against Sunderland is arguably one of the most attractive attacking opportunities of Gameweek 10.
Sunderland are currently sitting 20th in the league, making them one of the weakest teams in the competition this season. Meanwhile, Alonso's Chelsea have been scoring freely in the Premier League.
This makes Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers two players worth prioritising in your Gameweek 10 squad. Both could benefit from Chelsea's attacking dominance, with the potential to deliver goals and assists.
If you don't already own them, this could be an excellent week to bring them in.
3. Don't Rush to Buy Manchester United Players After Their Champions League Win
Manchester United's midweek Champions League victory against Roma might tempt FPL managers to consider their attacking players. However, one impressive result shouldn't automatically change your assessment of their Premier League prospects.
Bruno Fernandes and other attacking options such as Bryan Mbeumo still need to demonstrate consistent performances before becoming reliable FPL investments.
United also face Unai Emery's Aston Villa this week, which could prove a challenging encounter. Rather than making reactionary transfers based on their European result, it would be wiser to wait for more consistent performances.
4. Target Everton Players Against Coventry
Everton have an appealing home fixture against Coventry City, making their players interesting transfer targets for Gameweek 10.
James Tarkowski is an attractive defensive option, offering potential clean-sheet and attacking returns from set-pieces. Meanwhile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could provide value in midfield through his attacking involvement and defensive contributions.
Thierno Barry is another player worth considering if you need a budget-friendly forward.
However, make sure your transfers fit your overall squad structure and budget before investing heavily in Everton assets.
5. Choose Your FPL Gameweek 10 Captain Carefully
Captaincy is particularly tricky this week, with several players offering attractive fixtures.
Erling Haaland remains the safer option, especially with Manchester City facing a Nottingham Forest side struggling for consistency. However, Forest have remained competitive in recent meetings, avoiding defeat in two of their last three encounters against City.
Cole Palmer is another excellent candidate against bottom-placed Sunderland. Meanwhile, Gabriel could be an interesting differential captain against Hull, particularly if Arsenal secure another comfortable clean-sheet victory.
Ultimately, Haaland offers the familiar premium captaincy option, but Palmer and Gabriel are worth considering if you're looking to take a calculated risk.
