The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

    Who knew relying on Valencia to save your GW would be a silly though?!

      Imagine being compared to a dabber. That's the real crime here.

      Not at all. What the hell. All Chinese people look the same type of comment.

        Surely you can say someone looks like someone else black or not black

        A bit PC scout

          he must have been talking about them wearing the same clothes..

          Problem is they actually look nothing alike at all, and their ONLY similar feature is the color of their skin.

          It was a racist comment plain and simple. Not to mention totally unnecessary.

    @TM or anyone, what was LMS safety score overnight? I'm 34 all out, concerned.

        Cheers, didn't see that, dont get email notifications either, need to update address. Thanks mate 🙂

      27 so you should be safe. 😉

      Average has hardly moved so good chance it's enough. Autosubs are the main factor along with Costa/Ibra

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, my friend is currently 2nd in LMS for the week, had no City or Saints but has Azpi and Costa here. Chance he gets top spot for the week. I had a 50 point lead pre gw, small chance he leapfrogs me.

    Blind is all over the shop.

      That joke writes itself.

    Why isn't Shaw even in the squad?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rested for midweek. With Blind's performances it may be that Shaw predominately plays in the Europa and league/FA cups.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Just thought after their comments after Fenerbache, he would at least be in the squad.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Don't get me wrong Shaw may start playing the EPL games again soon but him playing the midweek games is a possibility.

      I honestly don't know .

      They have great fixtures so I should hold , but might have to look for something else

    3. itwaswritten

      Never been a owner of Sterling but get rid!

    Son owners keeping him? Leicester have been pretty terrible away from home.

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Leaning towards keeping. Defence could do with a transfer and if he starts he could do some damage

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years

        Yeah I am thinking to the same
