Fantasy Premier League Tips: Team-wise best picks for FPL Gameweek 10
Mohamed Salah, priced at £12.8 million in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), has firmly established himself as an excellent choice for the captain’s armband in Gameweek 10. His impressive performance, including a brace and a remarkable 16-point haul against Everton, has dispelled any doubts about the reliability of constantly choosing captains from Nordic countries, making him a prime candidate.
Despite Salah’s strong candidacy, it’s worth considering several other viable options from top-half teams with favorable fixtures in Gameweek 10. Let’s have a look at the best players from each team for the upcoming game week.

Gabriel Martinelli has had a season marred by injuries so far, but he’s starting to regain his form with two goals in his last three appearances across all competitions. His most recent goal came against Sevilla in a midweek match.
Notably, this goal against the Spanish side was his first goal contribution away from the Emirates Stadium this season. In the Premier League, all of Martinelli’s attacking returns (1 goal and 2 assists) have occurred at home. Considering that three of Arsenal’s next five games will be played at home, this presents an opportune moment to consider Martinelli as a promising option.
