Matchday 10 is just around the corner, so take advantage of your allowance of five transfers to get your team firing this weekend. Here are five helpful tips to set you on your way.
Leroy Sané (FW, Bayern Munich), 16M
Leroy Sané hasn't hit top gear yet under Vincent Kompany, with the Belgian preferring Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman in the wide attacking areas, but Bayern could rotate significantly against underdogs St. Pauli on Saturday, coming off the back of a crunch UEFA Champions League game with Benfica, and Sané is expected to see plenty of minutes. Good for eight goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga last season, he could prove a fine differential.

Alexander Meyer (GK, Borussia Dortmund), 5M
Budget-busting goalkeepers are ideal for squad-building, especially given they can't be starred for multiplied points. Augsburg's Nediljko Labrović has been the netminder of choice in that regard, now that Kevin Trapp has recovered to displace Kauã Santos at Eintracht Frankfurt, but if you want to deviate from the template, Alexander Meyer could be your man. Costs just 5m, and is likely to start again when Borussia Dortmund face Mainz away on Saturday, with Gregor Kobel still nursing a thigh injury.
Kevin Stöger (MF, Borussia Mönchengladbach), 15M
Kevin Stöger has lost his place as Borussia Mönchengladbach's No.10 to Alassane Pléa in recent weeks, but the latter has a thigh complaint of his own, giving the former Bochum man a chance against RB Leipzig. Gladbach may be slight underdogs, but Stöger has a happy habit of racking up points for his all-round game, quite aside from his four goal-involvements this season.
Alexis Claude-Maurice (MF, Augsburg), 6M
Alexis Claude-Maurice is a real find in the game. Listed as a midfielder but playing up front for Augsburg, and costing managers just 6m of their budget, the former Nice star has already racked up three goals and an assist from 225 minutes of play in the Bundesliga, plus another strike in the DFB Cup. After a recent brace against Dortmund, he will be undaunted by a home meeting with Hoffenheim.

Omar Traoré (DF, Heidenheim), 6M
Last, but by no means least, is Omar Traoré, who is another of the cheapest safe starters in the game, the Heidenheim defender costing just 6m. Traoré has tallied some 744 points for duels alone in the current campaign, and could even find himself playing as a wing-back against Wolfsburg on Sunday, with Frank Schmidt experimenting with a 3-4-2-1 against Holstein Kiel last Saturday.
