Answer

I can only work with the data that the available FPL tools expose. All of those tools operate on a frozen snapshot of the season – they give you your squad, bank balance, chip status, projected points for the next 1‑5 gameweeks, fixture outlooks, historical leaderboards, etc. They do not have any access to:

• live private‑league standings or points totals,
• the current points gap between you and the team in tenth place in that league, or
• any real‑time information beyond the frozen snapshot date.

Because of that limitation I cannot verify your present private‑league rank or tell you how many points you are behind the tenth‑placed side.

What I can do, using the tools, is:

• show you the contents of your frozen squad (players, prices, bank, chips),
• give you model‑based projections for the upcoming gameweeks,
• recommend transfers, a starting XI, captain, bench order and chip timing for the next X gameweeks, and
• estimate the extra points a chip (Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, Triple Captain) would add to that projected total.

Even with those projections, I cannot guarantee that following the recommendations will place you in the top 10 of your private league by December. The guarantee would require:

• knowledge of every other manager’s squad and transfers,
• live points updates for all future gameweeks, and
• the assumption that all recommended transfers are executed exactly as suggested and that no unforeseen events (injuries, rotation, weather postponements, etc.) occur.

Since none of those factors are available to the tools, any claim of a guarantee would be speculative and unsupported.

In short

What can be established with the current tools	What cannot be established
Your frozen squad, bank, chip status, and projected points for the next few gameweeks.	Your live private‑league rank, current points gap to 10th place, or any guarantee of finishing in the top 10 by a future date.

If you would like a projection‑based recommendation for the next gameweek(s) – transfers, captaincy, bench order, and chip usage – I can generate that using get_recommendation. Let me know if you’d like me to do so.
