Pascal Groß should be held and started ahead of more speculative options because of his home fixture and penalty-taking role.

Although the creator finds the benching decision difficult, he ultimately says he would play Groß and repeatedly treats penalties and Brighton's fixtures as strong reasons to retain him.

Let's Talk FPL · FPL Kneejerk Gameweek 10 🔥 Green arrow ✅ Bournemouth players in 🤔 · Nov 1, 2026

A Gameweek 10 bench boost is attractive when the bench includes a playing goalkeeper, Brighton coverage, Evanilson and Bournemouth coverage.

The creator repeatedly argues that this is unlikely to be a better bench early in the season and specifically encourages activating the chip if those players would otherwise remain benched.

McBurnie is a reasonable short-term forward punt for the next few weeks, but his four yellow cards make suspension risk something to monitor.

The creator suggests playing him against Ipswich, benching him for Arsenal and Brighton, then using him again in favourable fixtures, while immediately flagging his disciplinary risk.

Fantasy Football Scout - FPL Tips · BEST JOAO PEDRO REPLACEMENTS❓| FPL GW9 Q&A WITH SAM + TOM | FPL Tips 26/27 · Oct 29, 2026

Pascal Gross should be held as a strong medium-term pick from Gameweek 10 onward because Brighton's fixtures improve, he is expected to remain nailed, and he takes penalties.

The creator accepts the difficult Gameweek 9 fixture but specifically praises Gross's price, security of starts, penalties and Brighton's upcoming fixtures.

Let's Talk FPL · 1 transfer 🔒 Time for another? 🤔 My FPL Team for GW9 🔥 · Oct 29, 2026

Pascal Gross, not a great fixture this week, but the fixtures for Brighton are very good from Gameweek 10 onwards... He's still nailed. He's still on penalties, just a really good pick moving forward.

Original source ↗ · Play from 11:19 · 5 seconds before evidence ↗

The creator recommends monitoring Costulas and potentially benching him against Manchester City, while remaining encouraged by his shot volume and Brighton's attack.

Costulas has a difficult immediate fixture but is generating chances and has decent fixtures ahead; the creator still prefers Barry to him.

FPL Mate · FPL GW9 TRANSFER TIPS! | Top Picks Tier List for Gameweek 9 - 2026/27! ⭐ · Oct 26, 2026

Not the ideal fixture against Man City and maybe I would look to bench him, but Brighton are a very very strong attack... he's getting chances 3.2 shots per game.

The creator recommends keeping Thiago for the upcoming fixtures because he is a penalty taker, plays 90 minutes regularly, and has recently returned points.

The creator acknowledges Thiago is not great value but prioritizes his penalties, minutes, creative numbers, and recent returns, alongside fixtures against Forest, Brighton, and Everton.

FPL Mate · FPL GW9 TRANSFER TIPS! | Top Picks Tier List for Gameweek 9 - 2026/27! ⭐ · Oct 26, 2026

And even though Thiago hasn't been providing great value for money, if you already have him, you've got a penalty taker who is playing 90 minutes every game... He's actually returned in a few consecutive game weeks now.

Original source ↗ · Play from 0:35 · 5 seconds before evidence ↗

Role team contextHoldSeasonal

The creator recommends keeping Pascal Gross because he remains a penalty-taking, nailed player with strong season-long FPL value despite a poor recent score.

The creator expects Brighton to score against Manchester City and says Gross's minutes and role have not changed, making him a strong hold and arguably a season-long pick.

FPL Mate · FPL GW9 TRANSFER TIPS! | Top Picks Tier List for Gameweek 9 - 2026/27! ⭐ · Oct 26, 2026

I would say Pascal Gross a keep... he has been such a good FPL pick throughout the season... Man City up next is a poor fixture on paper, but actually Man City are a team that have conceded goals... given that he is a penalty taker as well... he's going to play all his minutes.

Managers should consider waiting until the League Cup matches have been played before locking in GW9 transfers, in case of new injuries.

The creator specifically advises delaying moves because several teams play in the League Cup this week.
