Rear Wheel

A spoke is breaking on my Giant S-R2 rear wheel, every other trip. I'd bought the wheel "new" from eBay 2½ years ago. It's predecessor (also an S-R2) lasted twice as long before a spoke broke – no, I haven’t gained weight.
I see no way round buying a new rear wheel so I need your advice. I’m fairly handy at replacing parts but fairly bambozled about ensuring compatibility between them.
My rear cassette is a Shimano CS-HG500 10-Speed.
An online retailer chatter recommended the Fulcrum Racing 900 C17 Road Wheelset - he said nothing about needing a spacer to drop 11 speed to 10 speed which I found later mentioned by one of the reviewers.
Can anyone untangle me from the jargon - please?

Yes, you need a 1.8 mm spacer, they cost a couple of pounds.
left the forum March 20231 -
if you are buying a new wheelset the spacer will come with it.
get new wheel. fit cassette. if it wobbles around, take off, fit spacer that comes with wheelset.
do up cassette to 40Nm.
You may need a small tweak - turn of barrel adjust here or there - to make sure all shifts fine.
Fit tyres n tubes. Pump up. Ride off, pull skids.
#sorted..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

I've just bought this wheelset after recommendation on another forum - may be budget but, after 75% discount code 75WHEEL, I paid £37.50.0
