This FPL strategy article will look at Rich P&#8217;s team for Gameweek 10, as he attempts to build on finishes of 15k and 42k in his last two seasons with his data-based approach.
The Using FPL Points as a Metric series uses data, including FPL points scored by position and our<a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker"> fixture ticker</a>, to act as a starting point for identifying transfer targets.

<h2>Gameweek 9 review</h2>
A small red arrow for me this week. With concern over both Ethan Pinnock (£4.5m) &amp; Sven Botman (£4.7m) I made the move for Konstantinos Tsimikas (£4.5m). A clean sheet from him was welcome, but I was just shy of a green arrow overall.
This season has been difficult, but as mentioned last week, rank is so volatile at this time of the season, so I&#8217;m not panicking just yet. Lots of FPL yet to be played.

<h2>Using FPL Points as a Metric: The data</h2>
<h3>Goalkeepers</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59069" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.12.jpg" alt="" width="910" height="337" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.12.jpg 910w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.12-300x111.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.12-768x284.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.12-610x226.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px" />
Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton are conceding the most FPL points to opposition goalkeepers.
Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea and Crystal Palace are the teams scoring the most FPL points in this position.
I&#8217;ve made an early move this week, selling Ederson (£5.6m) despite nice fixtures. He&#8217;s just too expensive, and City can&#8217;t seem to keep clean sheets.
I&#8217;ve brought in Alphonse Areola (£4.2m) as he has decent fixtures and saves me a nice chunk of cash, which I&#8217;m going to need!

&nbsp;
<h3>Defenders</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59070" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.49.jpg" alt="" width="908" height="335" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.49.jpg 908w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.49-300x111.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.49-768x283.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.50.49-610x225.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px" />
Bournemouth, Sheffield United, Luton, Burnley and Everton are conceding the most FPL points to opposition defenders.
Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Man City and Palace are the teams scoring the most FPL points in the defender position.
Brighton, Liverpool and Arsenal defenders are a topic to consider now, and Crystal Palace from next week.
Having signed Tsimikas, I&#8217;d love to get an Arsenal defender in. The thoughts of a wildcard are entering my head now, as I&#8217;m starting to want 4/5 players I can&#8217;t get to in one go.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59095" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.42.16.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="646" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.42.16.jpg 796w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.42.16-300x243.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.42.16-768x623.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.42.16-610x495.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px" />
&nbsp;
<h3>Midfielders</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59071" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.18.jpg" alt="" width="909" height="337" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.18.jpg 909w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.18-300x111.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.18-768x285.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.18-610x226.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px" />
Luton, Crystal Palace, Burnley, Sheffield United and Bournemouth have conceded the most FPL points to opposition midfielders so far.
Spurs, Brighton, Arsenal, West Ham and Newcastle are the teams scoring the most midfielder FPL points so far.
Sterling is someone I&#8217;ll be moving on soon, perhaps to someone like Bukayo Saka (£8.5m), Kaoru Mitoma (£6.6m) or Moussa Diaby (£6.7m).
One of those could happen this week for a -4. Or I could wildcard to get a couple in. I don&#8217;t hate my midfield, it&#8217;s more a case of I want about 10 midfielders!
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59096" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.45.12.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="646" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.45.12.jpg 794w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.45.12-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.45.12-768x625.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.45.12-610x496.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" />
&nbsp;
<h3>Forwards</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59072" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.55.jpg" alt="" width="893" height="337" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.55.jpg 893w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.55-300x113.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.55-768x290.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.51.55-610x230.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px" />
West Ham, Luton, Everton, Brighton, and Fulham are conceding the most FPL points to opposition forwards so far.
City, Brighton, Luton, Newcastle and Villa are the teams scoring the most FPL points in the forward position.
Ollie Watkins (£8.3m) is someone I have my eye on, and by selling Ederson I&#8217;ve made the cash available to get him.
This would mean switching to him from Julian Alvarez (£7.1m), who hasn&#8217;t done anything wrong. Again, it&#8217;s just a case of wanting too many players!
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59097" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.46.10.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="646" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.46.10.jpg 792w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.46.10-300x245.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.46.10-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-12.46.10-610x498.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px" />

I use this table to check out specific fixtures. It helps with captaincy and double gameweeks.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gameweek 10 transfers</h2>
Going into Gameweek 10, I&#8217;m set up like this:
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59074" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.56.32.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="698" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.56.32.jpg 644w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.56.32-277x300.jpg 277w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-09.56.32-610x661.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px" />
&nbsp;
I have used my transfer selling Ederson for Areola and now have £1.5m in the bank. I&#8217;m considering a -4, either selling Sterling for Saka, or Alvarez for Watkins. I feel like I need a bit more Aston Villa given their fixtures.
When I look at the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team/transfers">Hub AI transfers</a> tool, I get the following:
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-59075" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-1024x410.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="410" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-300x120.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-768x308.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-610x245.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40-1080x433.jpg 1080w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.00.40.jpg 1165w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
&nbsp;
I won&#8217;t be selling Diaz given Liverpool&#8217;s fixtures. But Sterling to Saka, as mentioned above, is on my mind.
Hub AI has me down at 91% for my team rating, with a gameweek rating of 89%.
Fingers crossed for a good week.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gameweek 10 captaincy</h2>
When looking at the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction tool,</a> we see Erling Haaland (£14.0m) top of the charts. Make sure to check the predictions later in the week, as things can change.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59076" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.01.03.jpg" alt="" width="724" height="668" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.01.03.jpg 724w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.01.03-300x277.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-26-at-10.01.03-610x563.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" />
&nbsp;
From the Points Per Game table, I noticed that United are in the top 5 teams conceding the most FPL Points to opposition Forwards when they play at home.
Forest are just outside the top 5 teams conceding the most FPL Points to opposition midfielders when they play away.
Captaincy is a close call between Salah and Haaland this week!
This will be a late decision.
