Top 3 Transfers In
1. Evanilson (Bournemouth) - Essential
Price: £6.4m | Ownership: 15.8%
161,975 transfers in
Form: 8.5, with 4 goals and 4 assists this season
Bournemouth were leading Leeds 2-0 in a live game, and travel to Ipswich in Gameweek 10
Verdict: great fixture, great form, great price. Essential.
2. N.Jackson (Aston Villa) - Good
Price: £7.0m | Ownership: 24.1%
121,145 transfers in
5 goals this season, form of 8.2, averaging 5.4 points per game
Starts against Fulham today, then Villa travel to Man Utd in Gameweek 10
Verdict: good, but check the late result before locking in.
3. Van Hecke (Spurs) - Good
Price: £5.0m | Ownership: 9.9%
60,699 transfers in
4 clean sheets, 2 goals and 53 total points, with form of 7.2
Spurs led 2-0 and face Leeds away in Gameweek 10
Verdict: a premium return from a budget slot. Good.
Quick correction from the original script: Van Hecke is a Spurs defender, not a Brighton one, so make sure you're targeting the right player.

Top 3 Transfers Out
1. Joao Pedro (Chelsea) - Sell now
Price: £7.7m | Ownership: 43.7%
308,138 transfers out
Thigh injury, no return date, and expected points for next week are zero
5 goals and 3 assists, so the production was real, but you cannot hold a player who is not playing
Verdict: sell, and sell now before you take a points hit later.
2. Tavernier (Bournemouth) - Hold
Price: £6.6m | Ownership: 26.1%
Still 100,807 transfers in despite a quiet 3-point event score
5 goals and 55 total points, with a solid form of 6.0
Verdict: if you own him, hold. Don't chase him as a new purchase if you're choosing between him and Evanilson.
3. Bassey (Fulham) - Sell if you have a better option
Price: £4.5m | Ownership: 1.3%
Only 1 point in the last event
Fulham face a tough ask at Villa today before hosting Newcastle in Gameweek 10
34 total points is fine but not enough to justify a spot ahead of better options
Verdict: sell if you have a better budget defender lined up.
Differentials (Under 10% Ownership)
Boscagli (Brighton) - £4.5m, 0.6% owned
Six clean sheets this season with a form of 5.0, and Brighton were leading Man City today. Next up is Brentford at home in Gameweek 10. A genuine defensive differential at the lowest price point.
Acheampong (Chelsea) - £4.5m, 0.4% owned
Nine points in the last event with a form of 4.8, and Chelsea were leading Man Utd 2-0. A cheap rotational defender who could haul if Chelsea keep the clean sheet streak going. They face Sunderland away in Gameweek 10.
Iroegbunam (Hull City) - £5.0m, 0% owned
Eight points in the last event with one goal and one assist. Hull face Arsenal in Gameweek 10, a tough fixture, so this is a short-term punt rather than a long-term hold. Hull were in a live 2-2 draw with Ipswich at the time of recording.

Captaincy Pick for Gameweek 10
Evanilson (Bournemouth). Form of 8.5, expected points of 8.5, and a favourable matchup against Ipswich. N.Jackson is a strong alternative if you want a Villa angle against Man Utd.
Key Tip With Joao Pedro out injured and no return date, do not hold him on the bench. Move him on before the deadline and use the funds to bring in Evanilson or N.Jackson. |
