FPL Gameweek 10 Differentials: Antonio Silva, Jeremy Jacquet and Christos Tzolis

For Gameweek 10, the strongest low-owned options offer distinct ways to add points: Bournemouth’s defensive form, Liverpool’s budget-friendly route to clean sheets, and an Arsenal winger facing a vulnerable Hull side. Each is owned by fewer than 5% of FPL managers.

Antonio Silva: Bournemouth’s defensive case

• FPL ownership: 3.1%
• Price: £5.1m
• GW10-14 fixtures: ips | NFO | ful | BHA | HUL

Antonio Silva’s appeal starts with a reliable defensive floor. The £5.1m Bournemouth centre-back has collected 12 defensive contribution (DefCon) points this season, joint second among FPL defenders, and has reached the threshold in two-thirds of his appearances.

There’s another route to a return: set pieces. Silva has taken six headed shots from dead-ball situations, including three Opta-classified big chances. That total ranks third among defenders, level with Jan Paul van Hecke (£5.0m) and Tarik Muharemovic (£5.1m).

Bournemouth arrive at Sunday’s trip to Ipswich on a seven-match winning streak across all competitions, with three consecutive Premier League clean sheets. Their underlying numbers support the run: Marco Rose’s side are among the league’s top three for expected goals conceded, at 10.0.

The fixture run through Gameweek 14 is mostly favourable. Silva combines clean-sheet potential with defensive contributions and a credible set-piece threat, making his 3.1% ownership look low for a player with several ways to score.

Jeremy Jacquet: a cheaper route into Liverpool’s defence

• FPL ownership: 4.5%
• Price: £5.1m
• GW10-14 fixtures: cry | MUN | eve | SUN | che

At £5.1m, Jeremy Jacquet offers a budget alternative to Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) for managers considering Liverpool’s defence. His work rate has translated into 27 clearances, 11 blocks, 18 interceptions and 24 tackles across the first nine rounds. He sits only five total DefCons behind his more expensive teammate.

Liverpool host Crystal Palace next. Palace will be without Jean-Philippe Mateta (£6.3m) through suspension and Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m) through injury. They’ve also struggled to defend set pieces: Palace rank bottom for set-piece expected goals conceded and have allowed a league-high six headed goals.

Jacquet’s own attacking numbers are modest, with two shots so far and one from a set play. At 6’3”, he can still pose a threat in the box, but his clearer case rests on defensive contributions and Liverpool’s form.

Under Andoni Iraola, Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in nine matches, conceded nine goals and rank fifth for expected goals conceded. Their upcoming fixtures improve from Gameweek 10.

Jacquet’s 4.5% ownership makes him a plausible way to access those fixtures while keeping funds available elsewhere in the squad.

Christos Tzolis: an attacking punt against Hull

• FPL ownership: 3.9%
• Price: £6.1m
• GW10-14 fixtures: HUL | new | MCI | bre | tot

Christos Tzolis costs £6.1m and has contributed five assists across all competitions this season. The Arsenal winger has shown his best creative form at home, making seven chances across matches against Coventry City and Chelsea.

Back from injury, he nearly scored against Liverpool last week, forcing a strong save from Alisson Becker (£5.5m). He also came close to setting up another Arsenal goal with a cross to the far post. Mikel Arteta’s assessment after Gameweek 9 was clear: “With Christos, incredible. He didn’t want to come off, he wanted to complete the game”.

The matchup adds to Tzolis’ appeal. Hull rank third-bottom for crosses and key passes conceded down their right flank, where the winger can create danger. The Tigers haven’t kept a clean sheet since Gameweek 3 and have conceded 21 big chances since then, the league’s second-highest tally.

There’s a limit to the upside: Tzolis averages only a little more than one shot per 90 minutes. He was also benched in midweek, as reported in the latest FPL notes. Still, his creativity and Hull’s defensive record make him an interesting short-term option at just 3.9% ownership. Arsenal have responded to their Brighton defeat with four league wins in a row, giving the pick a strong team context as well as a favourable immediate opponent.
