Gameweek 10 stretched Arsenal’s lead to five points. Ødegaard’s goal beat Hull 1–0 for a fifth straight league win, and Manchester City, who started the season with seven wins, lost a third in a row, 3–1 at Nottingham Forest with Delap scoring twice; Brighton’s 2–0 against Brentford takes them second on 22. The round’s match was at Old Trafford, where Manchester United and Aston Villa drew 4–4, the joint highest-scoring game of the season alongside City’s 5–3 against Sunderland in Gameweek 5. Sunderland themselves beat Chelsea 1–0, their first win since Gameweek 2. There were 30 goals in ten matches, with six home wins, two draws and two away wins. We did not publish scoreline predictions for this round, so there is no scorecard this week.

The Team of the Week
The highest-scoring eleven of Gameweek 10 by FPL points, in a 3-4-3. Player of the Week: Alysson (Aston Villa, 16 points). Manager of the Week: Daniel Farke (Leeds). How the XI is picked.
- Goalkeeper: Trafford (Leeds, 10)
- Defence: Vuskovic (Brighton, 12), Muharemović (Leeds, 10), Justin (Leeds, 9)
- Midfield: Alysson (Aston Villa, 16), Wirtz (Liverpool, 13), Ødegaard (Arsenal, 11), Dorgu (Man Utd, 11)
- Attack: Barry (Everton, 16), Delap (Nott'm Forest, 13), N.Jackson (Aston Villa, 11)
Leeds give this XI its defence: their 1–0 against Tottenham, Okafor scoring, puts Trafford, who made four saves, Muharemović and Justin in it, and Farke is Manager of the Week. Vuskovic completes the back three after setting up one of Brighton’s goals against Brentford. Further forward it is goals: Alysson, the Player of the Week on 16, scored once and set up two at Old Trafford, and Villa’s N.Jackson and Manchester United’s Dorgu join him from the 4–4; Barry scored twice for Everton against Coventry, Delap twice for Forest against City, and Wirtz and Ødegaard both scored in wins. Leeds and Aston Villa supply five of the eleven between them, and for the third week running Manchester City have nobody in it.
The standout performers
By FPL points, the players who did most in Gameweek 10:
- Barry (FWD, EVE) — 16 points, 2 goals, 1 assist, 3 bonus
- Alysson (MID, AVL) — 16 points, 1 goal, 2 assists, 3 bonus
- Delap (FWD, NFO) — 13 points, 2 goals, 3 bonus
- Wirtz (MID, LIV) — 13 points, 1 goal, 1 assist, 3 bonus
- Vuskovic (DEF, BHA) — 12 points, 1 assist, 3 bonus
- Dorgu (MID, MUN) — 11 points, 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 bonus
Delap’s 13 points came from two goals in 86 minutes against Manchester City, with maximum bonus; Jair Cunha scored Forest’s other goal, Gibbs-White and Schlager made the assists, and Cherki replied for City. Forest had lost three and drawn one of their four home games before this without scoring a goal at the City Ground, and the win lifts them from 19th to 16th, out of the bottom three. City have now conceded six goals in their last three matches, almost as many as the seven they let in across their first seven.
The table after Gameweek 10
Arsenal lead on 27 points, with Brighton 2nd.
Arsenal lead on 27, five points clear of Brighton, who have the best goal difference in the league at +19, and six clear of Manchester City, third on 21 after three straight defeats.

Liverpool are fourth on 18 after winning at Crystal Palace, and Chelsea, Everton and Bournemouth are fifth to seventh on 16, 16 and 15; Bournemouth have won four in a row. Leeds climb from 12th to ninth. At the bottom, Crystal Palace are 20th on seven points after four defeats in a row, with Sunderland 19th and Manchester United 18th on eight; United have one win in ten and none since Gameweek 2.
