FPL gameweek 10 tips: Should you keep or sell Ezri Konsa?
We are in a period of the game where defenders look very strong – they offer goal threat, defensive contributions and play for sides with real defensive strength. The days of starting five midfielders feel in the past for now. The meta is closer to four defenders, three or four midfielders, and two or three strikers. Things can shift quickly in FPL, but that is the landscape right now.
If you have midfielders you are not happy with, the answer may not always be to sell them. It can be to bench them some weeks and only play them in the better fixtures.
In isolation, Nottingham Forest‘s Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.8m) is still a reasonable pick. He is on penalties, he is the talisman for Forest even when the goals have been scarce, and he plays 90 minutes.
Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m) is involved in a lot of chances and goals for a Manchester United side that is struggling. He was unlucky not to return against Chelsea.
Kevin Schade (£6.2m) plays for a Brentford team that is on the up and carries attacking threat.
These are decent options. You do not have to force a sale just because they have blanked recently.
There is no clear must-buy in midfield, unless you are without Brighton‘s Pascal Gross (£6.2m) or Chelsea‘s Morgan Rogers (£8.2m) and you specifically need to move one of these three on. Hold if you can, and reassess if the picture changes.
