Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 10
2. Fernando Torres
Team: Chelsea Value: £8.3 million Points In GW9: 12 Could we be witnessing the rebirth of Fernando Torres? Until recently, Torres, and Chelsea's strike-force in general, had laboured, with none of their recognised forwards getting on the scoresheet until Samuel Eto'o netted in the 4-1 win against Cardiff on October 19. Torres too broke his duck, scoring his first goal of the season against Manchester City last Sunday. It wasn't just his strike that impressed though, but his movement. After teeing up Andre Schurrle for the opener, the Spaniard was a persistent thorn in City's side, hitting the bar with a wonderful effort and causing all kinds of problems. I'm going to stretch my neck out somewhat and say Torres will continue his good form when Chelsea travel to Newcastle for the early kick-off on Saturday. The Blues enjoyed some thumping wins last month, beating the likes of Steaua Bucharest and Schalke 4-0 and 3-0, and I can only see another win against a Magpies team who have won just three times in their first nine games.
