Gameweek 10 Hall of Shame: the blanks, the cameos, and the captain who cost you
The awards nobody wants from Gameweek 10, starting with Haaland. Every one of them a real number, which is the problem.
The awards nobody wants
Every gameweek produces a handful of moments that are only funny once they cannot hurt you any more. Gameweek 10 has finished, so here they are.
Every award below is a real lookup against the round's data. Nothing here is invented, which is the part that stings.
The Golden Blank
Haaland, £15.8m, 90 minutes, 2 points. He was owned by 78.9% of the game going in, so at least the disappointment was catered.
The Armband Tax
The game captained Haaland. He returned 2 points, which doubled to 4. Doubling a small number remains one of the great disappointments available to a person on a Saturday.
The One You Did Not Own
Alysson (£4.9m) scored 16 while owned by 0.1% of managers. The other 99.9% are currently explaining to themselves that they would never have started him, which is true, and beside the point.
Cameo of the Week
Zirkzee was on the pitch for 7 minutes and came off it with 5 points. Efficiency of that order should be studied, or at least owned.
Best Value on the Board
16 points for £4.9m. Alysson did in one afternoon what some of your budget lines have not managed all season.
Mugged by the Woodwork
0.85 xGI, zero returns: Araujo did everything but the last bit. Historically the last bit arrives. Historically it arrives the week after you sell him.
For the record
The average manager scored 55, the best score in the game was 139, and the gap between them was 84 points — roughly a captain, a bench and a small amount of luck.
