The Premier League seasons continues apace, with the next round of fixtures taking place this weekend, but before analysing the clean sheet and anytime goalscorer odds for Gameweek 10, we begin with a review of how the Bookies’ Advantage squad performed last time out…

In a generally low-scoring gameweek our picks returned 44 points, with goals from captain Sergio Aguero (12 points) and Mo Salah (8), an assist from Aleksandar Mitrovic (5) and a clean sheet from Ederson (6) the only returns of note. The fact Trent Alexander-Arnold missed Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Huddersfield and Raheem Sterling sat out City’s 5-0 thrashing of Burnley meant that we unfortunately missed out on a healthy serving of extra points.

⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW Top of the bookmakers’ defensive rankings for Gameweek 10 are Liverpool, who have a 60% chance of keeping a clean sheet when they host Cardiff on Saturday afternoon. This appears to have shutout written all over it, with the Reds yet to concede a goal at Anfield in the Premier League and Neil Warnock’s men scoring just once in 4 away games. Dejan Lovren has returned from injury with back-to-back 9 point hauls, courtesy of 3 bonus points in each game, and at a price of £5.0m is hard to overlook.

Chelsea (53%) rank second prior to their trip to Burnley. Maurizio Sarri’s men have only conceded 1 goal on their travels this season, allowing them to register 3 clean sheets, whilst the Clarets have blanked in 4 of their 9 games so far, including, crucially, their 2 meetings with “big six” opposition (Manchester United and Manchester City). David Luiz continues to offer value at £5.5m and starts for our side this weekend.

Watford (46%) and Southampton (41%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects for Gameweek 10. The Hornets recorded their first shutout since the opening weekend when they triumphed 2-0 at Molineux last Saturday, and they’ll have the perfect chance to build on that when the lowest scorers in the top flight, Huddersfield, rock up to Vicarage Road. The Saints, meanwhile, will entertain a Newcastle United side who have failed to find the net in 3 of their last 4 outings. Mark Hughes’ troops will also have the opportunity to make it 2 clean sheets on the trot after they held Bournemouth to a 0-0 draw last time out. Ben Foster takes his place between the sticks for our squad, whilst we plump for Cedric as our choice from the Southampton back line – the Portuguese right back has collected maximum bonus in 2 of the Saints’ 3 clean sheets this season.

It’s as you were on our bench, with the value it provides continuing to prove unbeatable. Ben Hamer (22%) is unlikely to feature against Watford, but is still the likeliest £4.0m keeper to see any game time, whilst Ryan Bennett (36%) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (17%) are superb options in defence at the same price point. This weekend they travel to Brighton and host Arsenal respectively.

⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW Mohamed Salah tops the bookies’ attacking estimations with a 68% chance of finding the net when he welcomes Cardiff to Anfield on Saturday. The PFA Player of the Year was back amongst the goals last weekend as his strike was the difference between the Reds and Huddersfield, and has scored in 3 of his 4 top flight home games so far this season, blanking only against Manchester City. With the Bluebirds conceding 17 times in their last 6 outings, things look bright for Salah in Gameweek 10 and he straps on our captain’s armband as a result.

So favourable is Liverpool’s fixture in the bookmakers’ eyes that Roberto Firmino (53%) ranks second and forms a double up on Jurgen Klopp’s attack for our squad. Rested last time out against Huddersfield, the Brazilian remains Liverpool’s first choice striker and will be looking to kick on from a mediocre start to the season (2 goals and 2 assists in 9 games). He won’t get many better chances to boost his form than a visit from Neil Warnock’s men.

Joining Firmino up top for our side are Sergio Aguero (44%) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (42%). Aguero’s goal against Burnley last Saturday took his tally to 6 in the Premier League for the campaign, and although only 1 of those has come away from home, he does have a strong record against this weekend’s opponents Tottenham – he’s bagged 10 goals in 12 appearances against Spurs, whilst he has found the net in 3 of the last 4 seasons at White Hart Lane/Wembley. Mitrovic, meanwhile, provided an assist in Gameweek 9 to take his season numbers to 5 goals and 2 assists. The big Serb welcomes Bournemouth, who have conceded 6 times in their last 3 away matches, to Craven Cottage on Saturday.

The bookies also fancy the chances of Arsenal duo Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, along with the out-of-form Romelu Lukaku, but we overlook the trio due to budget constraints.

The remainder of our midfield comes from West London, courtesy of a Chelsea double-up and another Fulham selection.

Eden Hazard (44%) and Willian (33%) travel to Burnley on Saturday, who will be low on confidence after being thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City last time out. Hazard’s sparkling form this term needs no mention, and his away record makes for decent reading (2 goals, 2 assists and 4 bonus from 4 games), whilst Willian has made the right wing spot his own and conjured up his third assist of the campaign against Manchester United last weekend.

Fresh from his wonder-strike against Cardiff, which was his fourth goal of the season, Andre Schurrle (33%) also makes our starting XI as we double up on Slavisa Jokanovic’s attack ahead of a must-win game for Fulham, with the Serb’s job reportedly on the line.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (10%), who entertains Newcastle on Saturday, takes the first spot on our bench, with 2 goals in 7 games this term a superb return for a £4.5m midfielder.

The bookmakers, unsurprisingly, also rate Sadio Mane’s chances this weekend, but, having already used up our allocation of 3 Liverpool players, we have to forgo his services this time around.
