Fantasy Premier League tips: Top five transfers for FPL Gameweek 10

We are a quarter of the way through the Premier League season and min-leagues are starting to hot up, so here are five players to consider transferring in for your FPL team ahead of Gameweek 10.

Yankuba Minteh

Brighton have one of the standout fixture runs over the next ten weeks, making Yankuba Minteh a strong long-term option.

The Seagulls face all three promoted teams at home in that period, along with Brentford and West Ham, and also travel to Nottingham Forest.

Danny Welbeck has been a key part of Brighton’s attack recently, scoring five in his last four games, but having failed to score in the opening five, his inconsistency just gives Minteh the edge. 

The winger has been directly involved in four goals and also picked up defensive contribution points. If Welbeck continues to score, Minteh’s creativity will surely play a part in it.

Nick Woltemade

Newcastle have begun to show real consistency in recent weeks, following up a 3-0 Champions League win over Benfica with a comfortable league victory against Fulham and a 2-0 EFL Cup triumph versus Tottenham.

Nick Woltemade has settled in well at St James’ Park, netting in four of his six Premier League matches and being one of just three players to score against Arsenal this season.

Newcastle now face struggling West Ham in Gameweek 10, and have further appealing fixtures against Sunderland, Burnley and Brentford before Gameweek 17.

Hugo Ekitike

With Alexander Isak sidelined by a groin injury, Hugo Ekitike’s minutes as Liverpool’s number nine look secure for the time being. He has started six of nine league games, and notably, Liverpool have lost all three in which he didn’t feature.

In his six starts, Ekitike has scored three goals and provided one assist, underlining how influential he’s been in Liverpool’s early-season success. If the Reds rediscover their best form, Ekitike should continue to be among the goals.

Liverpool’s next six gameweeks look encouraging, with home fixtures against Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland, and away trips to West Ham and Leeds.

Bukayo Saka

Arsenal have two hugely favourable fixtures on the horizon – Burnley and Sunderland away – before a north London derby after the international break and Bukayo Saka is sure to be heavily involved in all of those games. 

He managed three goal involvements in three matches against promoted sides last season, has already bagged against Leeds this term and has scored twice and provided four assists across his last four north London derbies. 

Two of the Arsenal defence

As mentioned above, Arsenal’s fixtures are favourable. Although given their current form, the schedule hardly matters.

Away from Saka, the remaining two Arsenal spots should be filled by a combination of Gabriel, Jurrien Timber or David Raya. The Gunners have kept six clean sheets in the league this season and conceded just three goals.

Remarkably, they allowed only one shot on target in all Premier League matches throughout October, making a defensive double-up a must. 

Both Gabriel and Timber also add attacking potential, contributing to Arsenal’s status as one of the most dangerous sides from set-pieces in the league.

All player prices and ownership percentages are subject to change.
