Fantasy Premier League GW10 Preview: Complete Match Analysis
The Fantasy Premier League deadline approaches at 18:00 Saturday. As we head into Gameweek 10, we break down every match to prepare you for all scenarios.
Burnley vs Arsenal: Table Ends Collide
Teams from opposite ends of the table face off: Arsenal boasts the league’s best defense over the last four gameweeks, while Burnley possesses the worst.
Top Picks: Definitely look to Arsenal’s defense. Three of their defenders rank among the top four fantasy point scorers, with Riccardo Calafiori, Jurriën Timber, and Gabriel leading the way. Up front, Victor Djokeres has registered the most shots (12) and penalty area touches (32) in his team over the last four matches, though he’s gone five games without scoring.
Food for thought: Should you make an Arsenal defender your captain?
Brighton vs Leeds: Historical Advantage Meets Defensive Form
Brighton hasn’t lost to Leeds since 2017 in the Championship. Meanwhile, Leeds has conceded just three big chances in their last four outings—tying Arsenal for the league’s best record.
Top Picks: Danny Welbeck stands out for Brighton with five goals in four matches, while Jankuba Minte remains active in attack. For Leeds, Brenden Aaronson leads the frontline with 10 shots and 14 penalty area touches over the same period. Dominic Calvert-Lewin shows similar stats but struggles with finishing. Defender Joe Rodon has scored twice and attempted eight shots recently.
Food for thought: Brighton’s last clean sheet dates back to mid-May.
Crystal Palace vs Brentford: Attack-Minded Encounter
Both teams lead the league in big chances created (19) over the last four gameweeks.
Top Picks: Jean-Philippe Mateta ranks second among league forwards in most attacking metrics—only behind Erling Haaland. Ismaila Sarr scored twice in the midweek cup match against Liverpool. Defensively, Daniel Muñoz and Marc Guéhi are Palace’s most attack-minded defenders. For Brentford, Igor Thiago ranks among the top three forwards for shots (22) and big chances (11). Also notable are Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara.
Food for thought: Both teams have scored in their last six head-to-head meetings.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United: Contrasting Fortunes
Nottingham Forest is the only team yet to score in the last four gameweeks. Meanwhile, Manchester United leads the league in shots on target (25) over that period.
Top Picks: Morgan Gibbs-White leads Forest by a wide margin in shots (11). United’s entire attack looks impressive statistically: Brian Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Šeško, and Bruno Fernandes all shine. If picking one, Mbeumo stands out as particularly effective. Defensively, Diogo Dalot leads in chances created (5).
Food for thought: United are on the rise with three consecutive Premier League wins—a first under Rúben Amorim. Forest have lost four straight, so focus on United assets.
Fulham vs Wolverhampton: Strugglers Clash
Wolverhampton has the fewest big chances this season (just nine) and remains winless. Fulham isn’t much better, riding a four-game losing streak.
