A cheap route into the Manchester United attack: FPL options for Gameweek 10

Nine weeks have gone by, and the managers who have climbed the rankings are usually those who did not settle for the same 15 players everyone picks. This article looks at players with an ownership rate of 15 percent or lower, that is, options that could make a difference.

Barry is one of the best values in the game at £5.6 million. This season, only Erling Haaland has a higher expected goal contribution (xG). Having scored eight goals from roughly 8.5 xG last season, the criticism of his finishing does not look very fair. Penalty duties could also come his way. The match at Coventry's ground looks quite favourable on the fixture front.

Branthwaite has returned from injury and is in the centre of Everton's defence. Everton have kept four clean sheets so far. Coventry sit 20th in the expected goals table, and Everton are among the teams with the best clean sheet chances in the league. Their defensive returns also provide a solid points floor.

Vuskovic is expected to be very popular, especially among managers looking for a replacement for Ezri Konsa. He is said to be almost certain to start. He can contribute defensively, carries a goal threat, and is reasonably priced.

Brighton are jointly top of the clean sheet rankings. Their fixtures also look strong. This week they host Brentford at home, followed by Hull City and Newcastle United.
