The FPL deadline for Gameweek 10 is Friday 6 November 2026, 18:30 GMT. The list below ranks available players by season points per game, nudged for how hard their fixture is (FPL's own projection for the round is shown next to each name), limited to players with more than 200 minutes so far. It is a starting point, not a verdict: check the confirmed lineups before you lock.

How to choose between them
Erling Haaland tops the list at 8.2 points a game, but his ownership is 77.9%, so captaining him is the popular choice and gives little rank movement. A fixture difficulty of 3/5 (5 is hardest) for his side is part of the case. Penalty takers carry extra upside, and the list above marks them.
