Fantasy Premier League captain for Gameweek 10 — the best FPL pick
Considering optimal captain candidates in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 10.
Who can bring the most points in Fantasy EPL and whom should you take as captain in your squad so that these points are doubled? We offer several options and a few arguments in their favor.
Who to choose as captain in Fantasy EPL for Gameweek 10
Today we will propose 5 optimal, in our view, candidates to become your captain in Fantasy EPL for the upcoming gameweek, which starts this evening with the Everton – Coventry match. Actually, we will start with one of the participants of this fixture.
Thierno Barry (Everton)
Opponent: Coventry (home)
Points already scored in Fantasy EPL: 39
Price in Fantasy EPL: 5.6 million
Why take as captain in Gameweek 10: Coventry concedes too many goals at the start of the season, and Barry is now in good form. In the last 5 gameweeks the Frenchman scored 3 goals, and in the last league match against Newcastle the forward delivered 9 points to his fantasy owners – his highest single‑game score this season so far. But we believe that against modest Coventry Thierno is capable of more. And already in the first match of the gameweek you can earn a decent amount of points if you pick this guy.
Alexander Isak (Liverpool)
Opponent: Crystal Palace (away)
Points already scored in Fantasy EPL: 53
Price in Fantasy EPL: 9.2 million
Why take as captain in Gameweek 10: The Swedish striker is in good form at the start of this season – he has 6 goals in the 8 matches he has played. Among forwards in Fantasy EPL he is second in points after Erling Haaland. Although he costs several million less than the Norwegian. Last week Isak was rotated in the Champions League match against Turkish Fenerbahçe and did not start that game. Nevertheless, even coming on as a substitute, Alex scored a goal, albeit one that did not save Liverpool from a sensational defeat. But against Crystal Palace the Swede should be guaranteed to start and show that his goal “hunger” is still far from being satisfied. And the Eagles’ defence can greatly contribute to this, as Palace have conceded the most goals in the first 9 EPL gameweeks – 21!
Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
Opponent: Hull City (home)
Points already scored in Fantasy EPL: 33
Price in Fantasy EPL: 7.4 million
Why take as captain in Gameweek 10: Havertz performed well last week – he scored a winning goal against Liverpool at Anfield. Now, with the opponent being the more modest Hull City and also at home, the German striker can try to improve his statistics. Moreover, mid‑week Kai received a rest from team coach Mikel Arteta in the Champions League match, so he will come out against the Tigers of Hull fresh and full of energy.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Opponent: Nottingham (away)
Points already scored in Fantasy EPL: 68
Price in Fantasy EPL: 15.8 million
Why take as captain in Gameweek 10: Yes, basically for the same reason as always – Haaland is Haaland, and in any match he can score many goals, delivering a lot of points to his fantasy owners. But specifically against Nottingham the Norwegian is worth taking also because Erling regularly scores in the EPL – he has 5 goals against this team in 8 games played. True, in the last 4 matches Haaland hasn't scored against Forest, but this fact is rather an extra motivation for the striker – time to improve his record against this opponent!
Morgan Rogers (Chelsea)
Opponent: Sunderland (away)
Points already scored in Fantasy EPL: 50
Cost in Fantasy EPL: 8.2 million
Why you should pick him as captain in round 10: Morgan – third among midfielders in the list by total Fantasy EPL points scored for the whole season, and so far in the previous 9 games Morgan has had only three occasions when he scored less than 5 points, but already 4 matches with 8 or more points.
Rodgers – that's consistency. And moreover the opponent hasn't been very confident lately. Sunderland, distracted by European cups, plainly cannot cope with this new schedule for them, winning in the season very rarely, and also losing key players due to injuries. Chelsea, freed from the need to play in Europe this season, can easily exploit all the weaknesses of the Black Cats. Even at their stadium.
And who will you pick as captain in your Fantasy EPL squad for round 10?
