Below are the players backed by recent returns and upcoming opponents to consider before the Saturday deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeepers: David Raya (\u00a35.7m) is a reliable option after helping Arsenal keep six clean sheets in nine Premier League matches. He offers steady six-point returns despite limited save and bonus returns and will face Burnley (A) this weekend. Sunderland stopper Robin Roefs (\u00a34.7m) leads the goalkeepers for points, with 52 from nine matches and four clean sheets; Everton (H) is his next fixture. Nick Pope (\u00a35.2m) is level on points with Raya and provides clean-sheet potential as Newcastle, who have five this season, travel to West Ham United (A).<\/p>\n<p>Defenders: Gabriel (\u00a36.5m) is an Arsenal mainstay with 62 points this term; he has posted nine-plus points in five of his last six games and was used only from the bench in the Carabao Cup midweek. Jurri\u00ebn Timber (\u00a36.1m) offers double-up value in the Arsenal backline. Dan Burn (\u00a35.1m) is Newcastle\u2019s highest-scoring defender. Crystal Palace defenders Daniel Mu\u00f1oz (\u00a35.7m) and Marc Gu\u00e9hi (\u00a34.9m) are attractive with Brentford (H) up next, while Nordi Mukiele (\u00a34.1m) has produced two double-digit hauls in the past six games and looks nailed for the clash with Everton on Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Midfielders: Bryan Mbeumo (\u00a38.2m) returned 15 points last weekend and sits as the second-highest scoring midfielder, with Nottingham Forest (A) his next test. Bruno Fernandes (\u00a38.9m) has 40 points and remains central to Manchester United\u2019s attacking output despite a four-point return at Brighton. Arsenal\u2019s Declan Rice (\u00a36.7m) and Bukayo Saka (\u00a310.0m) are their key attacking assets versus Burnley; both were substitutes midweek and Saka scored on his arrival. Brighton\u2019s Yankuba Minteh (\u00a36.0m) has one goal and two assists and faces Leeds United (H). Isma\u00efla Sarr (\u00a36.5m) impressed with a midweek brace in the Carabao Cup and has three goals and an assist in seven league matches.<\/p>\n<p>Forwards: Erling Haaland (\u00a314.8m) was blanked only for the second time this season against Aston Villa and was rested midweek; he faces Bournemouth (H). Jean-Philippe Mateta (\u00a37.7m) scored three at Selhurst Park in his last home league appearance and played one half in the midweek win. Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 (\u00a38.6m) has six goals this term and was rested on Wednesday, with Aston Villa (H) to come. Nick Woltemade (\u00a37.5m) has six in 11 for Newcastle and has recorded six or more points in four matches, while Danny Welbeck (\u00a36.4m) has five goals this season, including three in his last two league appearances.<\/p>\n<p>There is no Friday night or early Saturday kick-off this week. The Gameweek 10 deadline is 1.30 p.m. GMT on Saturday, Nov. 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GW10 FPL guide: top goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward picks ahead of Saturday deadline GW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173,1206,172],"tags":[342,260,841],"class_list":["post-4161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fpl","category-gameweek-10","category-epl","tag-bruno-fernandes","tag-bryan-mbeumo","tag-david-raya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
