Waiver Wire Gameweek 10
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL Waiver Wire Gameweek 10 targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Vitalii Mykolenko (Ros 28%)
Prospects: Since returning from injury, Mykolenko scored 18.5 ghost points over the past 2 gameweeks, the most of all Everton outfielders in that period. In fact, in the Ukranian's last 3 appearances, he's scored 7, 7.75 and 10.75 ghost points in each game, so it comes as no surprise that Mykolenko boasts the best ghost points per 90 minutes (10.8) of all Everton assets for the season so far. Although the Merseyside club have only kept 2 clean sheets, they have both come in the last 3 games, so Everton's improved defensive solidity combined with Mykolenko's ghosting should comfortably qualify him as a safe DEF-3 pick. Additionally, with Branthwaite returning from injury, who is arguably the Toffee's best defender, you'd expect Everton to keep a few more clean sheets, especially against bottom-of-the-league Southampton in Gameweek 10. This could almost qualifies Mykolenko as a DEF-2 and a great pick for the foreseeable future.
Verdict: I would use a mid-tier waiver pick or 2-4 FAB to get him.
Ryan Yates (Ros 13%)
Prospects: According to our Fixture Difficulty Tracker, over the next 2 gameweeks, Forest MIDs have the 2nd best set of fixtures with back-to-back home fixtures versus West Ham and Newcastle. Since GW6 Ryan Yates seems to have finally nailed his spot in the starting XI, having started and completed the full 90mins in every game since then. He has surely benefitted from the absence of Morgan Gibbs-White as well as the poor form of James Ward-Prowse. But that being said, Yates has averaged 10.6 FP/G (since GW6), while scoring 1 goal, registering the 2nd most key passes (6) and being 1st for interceptions (9) and 2nd for aerials (12), compared to his teammates. We'd expect Yates to retain his starting role until the aforementioned players return from injury or return to form. So this makes Yates a dependable MID-4/5 if you need one.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
Trevoh Chalobah (Ros 6%)
Prospects: Crystal Palace have finally gotten their first win of the season and there was no surprise that it came against Spurs. Come on Lads, its Tottenham. This 1-0 win was also Crystal Palace's 2nd clean sheet of the season, with the first one coming against Manchester United. The Eagles now face a resurgent Wolves in Gameweek 10, so the clean sheet might not be guaranteed. In spite of this, Chalobah still seems to be scoring well despite the shut-outs. Since his first start in Gameweek 7, Chalobah has averaged just over 9 ghost points per game, which is only behind Muñoz and Eze. So if you need a dependable DEF-3 this week, choose Chalobah.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
