FPL Gameweek 10 Tips: AI suggests backing Cunha to score vs Crystal Palace at 11/8 | OneFootball

Fantasy Premier League

Matheus Cunha has four goals from tricky fixtures

FPL expert Holly Shand is back for Betfair to run through the televised games this weekend in the Premier League, and where AI suggests may be a smart way to play your money this weekend...

Newcastle v Arsenal SuperBoost

You can now back Thomas Partey to commit 1 or more fouls against Newcastle at 1/1 - boosted up from 1/5!

Partey and his Arsenal teammates travel to Newcastle for the early kick-off on Saturday (12.30pm), and it is set to be a raucous encounter following their 1-0 defeat in the fixture last season.

Only Kai Havertz (16) has committed more fouls in the Premier League this season than Thomas Partey's 14, and he has committed one or more fouls in seven of his nine Premier League games this season.

In fact, he's managed to commit two or more in six of those games, which include two in each of his last two vs Bournemouth and Liverpool.

Newcastle boast the two most fouled players in the league too in Bruno Guimarãesand Anthony Gordon, so Thomas Partey looks set to have his work cut out this weekend, whether that be at right-back or midfield!

Newcastle United vs Arsenal

Arsenal's Gabriel is tipped to overcome injury to face Newcastle United in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off, but player availability looks less hopeful for the opponents. Alexander Isak picked up a knock in the midweek win against Chelsea, while Murphy is also a doubt.

Bukayo Saka is an attractive option in this game given his form on the road in this campaign. He has three assists in three away trips this season, against Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, hitting 6+ points on two occasions.

Saka's routes to points are plentiful, with 27 shots and 27 key passes made this season, plus plenty of set piece involvement including penalties. He's predicted by Fantasy Football Hub's AI to score 6.7 points in this game, and so is one to back for 6+ points at 7/4.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace

Wolves' torrid run of fixtures to start the season have finally finished and now they face an attractive run starting with the visit of Crystal Palace this weekend. The Eagles have plenty of fitness doubts, with Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton added to the list in midweek.

Expect Wolves to have the home advantage against a side without a clean sheet on the road, with striker Matheus Cunha at the heart of it. Cunha has four goals already this season despite tricky fixtures, scoring against Chelsea, Aston Villa, Brentford and Brighton.

He's averaging over 8 points per game in those where he's scored, with an assist enough to hit his target of 5+ points in this game. Back him at 11/8 given he's predicted to score 5.6 points by AI. He managed 19 goal involvements in 29 starts last season.

Spurs vs Aston Villa

It's difficult to predict what will happen when Spurs meet Aston Villa on Sunday. Spurs have won three of their last four at home, scoring 11 goals in that time. Meanwhile, Villa are unbeaten on the road, with a healthy nine goals in four games.

Whatever happens, you'd expect strikers Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins to be at the heart of the action. Solanke has three goal involvements from seven starts this campaign, although he has failed to impress in the last two gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Watkins continues to provide the same consistency we saw in 2023/24, with seven goal involvements in nine, including four on the road. With a prediction of 5.5 points, he's worth a look at 11/10 to beat his target of five points.

Man Utd vs Chelsea

At the beginning of the week you would have put Chelsea at an advantage for this fixture, but Manchester United could be set for a new manager bounce, with an impressive 5-2 win against Leicester City in the League Cup on Wednesday evening.

Alejandro Garnacho was involved in three of those goals. AI is struggling to predict him to explode here though on current form, with 5.1 just above his target of five points at 11/10. They are short odds when there's uncertainty in play.

I'd be more bullish to back boyhood Manchester United fan Cole Palmer to deliver for Chelsea in this game. He provided four goals in two games against them last season, scoring home and away. He's predicted to score his target of seven points, and so is worth a look at 5/4.

Fulham vs Brentford

Fulham against Brentford is a game which should have goals in it for the Monday Night Football, with their talismen Raul Jimenez and Bryan Mbeumo under consideration here.

Jimenez has regained the scoring streaks we witnessed from him pre-head injury at Wolves, producing five goal involvements in six starts in this campaign. He's predicted to score 5.7 points and so a target of 6+ is feasible at 13/8.

I'm more eager to back the oppositions Bryan Mbeumo though, with Brentford having the key balance of form and fixtures. His record of eight goals in nine is enviable, although he has just one on the road. Back him at 11/8 to score 5+ points, with an AI prediction of 5.3 in this game.
