Picked from who actually started Coventry City's last 5 matches (FPL's own match data), in the shape they have been using, around FPL's flags, the clubs' latest press-conference team news and the engine's start probabilities. Every card carries the engine's projected points for GW10. Still a projection: clubs name their XI an hour before kick-off, after the FPL deadline.

Lampard provides update on Thomas for Coventry v Sunderland · Fri 30 Oct, 22:32 · youtube.com

From the Premier League's club team-news feed and its injury list. A press-room update newer than FPL's own flag moves the player here — out, or a 50% doubt — and the predicted XI follows it; a return never overrides an FPL flag. Refreshed every 20 minutes; Thursday and Friday press conferences land here before most FPL flags do.
