After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

    All my transfers over the last 2 GWs have been pants

    1. The Trout of No Craic
      9 years, 20 mins ago

      Tough year

  2. yakirh
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    So..

    Ritchie -> Salah
    Unless couts will do something crazy

    1. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Whatever happen Salah is still better pick.

  3. Pooodle
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Which looks best this week? Got 2FTs.

    A) Eriksen out, Salah in, leaving money for Davies to anyone up to 6.4m

    B) Sterling and Davies out, Salah and Moreno/other 4.5m def in

    1. Les Bleus
      9 years, 54 mins ago

      A

      1. Pooodle
        9 years, 50 mins ago

        Thanks, nervous about ditching Eriksen when he’s nailed though and keeping Sterling.... will see what’s happens in the league cup.

      B). 🙂

        (Moreno OR Gomez).

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          9 years, 47 mins ago

          What? Thought you loved sterling

      2. Pooodle
        9 years, 43 mins ago

        Thanks, think that might be sensible to avoid the Sterling rotation risk.

  4. Les Bleus
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Honestly, this isn’t a dig in any way, but why would people sell Salah? He’s scoring goals and one of the most attacking players in the league (not just for mids). Is it because he misses chances?

    1. Rainer
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Chasing last weeks points.

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Two of the best defenses in the league in succession, expensive, City hype. Stupid in hindsight, made sense back then.

      1. Les Bleus
        9 years, 53 mins ago

        But we all know how Liverpool play against the top sides. And surely he’s not expensive compared to Hazard which people got rid for.

        1. TheTwelfthMan
          9 years, 51 mins ago

          It's Liverpool's defense which is usually better in the big games, their attack performs much better in easier fixtures. I haven't owned Salah all season, but I guess that's the justification the sellers had.

    3. CFC96
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      This, its like the transfers out of eriksen when he was the highest scoring mid on the game just last weekend, mind boggling

      1. CFC96
        9 years, 52 mins ago

        city mids were the flavour of the week, didnt hop on any and just kept salah and eriksen

        1. Les Bleus
          9 years, 51 mins ago

          Fair enough if people want to get City mids (i myself did). But no way was I ever thinking for Salah

    4. George Sillett
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Because this place is populated by sheep. One says something and all the little lambs copy and repeat the same garbage.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 52 mins ago

        Sheep...and cats

    5. Pooodle
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Doesn’t make much sense. I think it’s mainly been because of the City players being cheaper and also Coutinho being an old favourite.

    6. Holmes
      9 years, 52 mins ago

      True that, not sure why someone would sell a player who is consistently performing...

    7. Norman Conquest
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      fixtures for me i sold him for sane will get him back next week

    8. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 49 mins ago

      He's a season keeper for me. So much fun to watch with him in your side.

  5. The Enlightener
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Remember when Dele Alli could do stuff?

    1. MikeDuff
      9 years, 52 mins ago

      He's been class so far...

      1. The Enlightener
        9 years, 49 mins ago

        FPL site this. Two assists in last six games and nothing more for returns. That's what we're talking about here.

        1. The Enlightener
          9 years, 48 mins ago

          Well then! He's gone and shut me up! And most happy I am for it! He be on my squad. As well as cappy Harry.

    2. moz_1983
      9 years, 49 mins ago

      Well, yes.

      1. The Enlightener
        9 years, 48 mins ago

        Never been so glad to be put in me place!

    3. George Sillett
      9 years, 40 mins ago

      Prophetic

  6. fedolefan
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Are the Kane haters going to be quiet from now on or are they going to be back the next time he blanks? My guess is the latter.

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Kane never scores or assists in the second half when playing at Wembley. 😆

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Will have to be quiet until Lindelof fiasco is over, then I might say something about 12.8 being a lot ☺

  7. @persecuted_by_mods
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Urgh three weeks running rival benched the wrong players even puts them last and gets away with it, today he will get xhaka and monreal for mbemba and Davies if he doesn't come on

    Luckily i should be overtaking him regardless

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Liverpool on top.. Equaliser will come shortly

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      Not really creating anything good

  9. mr messi
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Best Davies replacement up to 6.1m?

    1. mir
      9 years, 53 mins ago

      City defender. Otamendi

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 52 mins ago

      City def?

    3. Sailboats
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Otamendi

      1. mr messi
        9 years, 50 mins ago

        Got him

  10. Plant Based FPLer
    9 years, 54 mins ago

    Wait, wait, wait. Lovren can't possible be playing again, right? So Liverpool defense plans back on?

  11. The Man Pastore
    9 years, 53 mins ago

    Please RWCT :

    Fabianski / Elliot
    Otamendi / Azpi / Cedric / Mee / Rangel
    Coutinho / Sterling / Eriksen / Richarlison / Romeu
    Kane / Morata / Diouf

    Thanks!

    1. MKHIBRADODO
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Great team!

  12. sglancelot
    9 years, 53 mins ago

    Have Bavies, Cresswell, Eriksen, Sterling. Who to go first with 1 FT?

    1. Pooodle
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Cresswell but probably worth a hit to ditch Davies too

    2. Shirokov(c)
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      The one that isn't playing

    3. diesel001
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Cresswell

  13. yakirh
    9 years, 53 mins ago

    Best Davies replacement? (Long term)

    1. Les Bleus
      9 years, 52 mins ago

      Otamendi

    2. MKHIBRADODO
      9 years, 52 mins ago

      Otamendi

    3. GAMBIT
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Toby

  14. FlockofSeagulls
    9 years, 53 mins ago

    My gw has been so bad that even if I captained Kane my score would still be shit. 😆

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      9 years, 47 mins ago

      Yeah, but those 3 points off the bench will help

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        9 years, 45 mins ago

        How'd you know that? 😆

        Stalker?

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          9 years, 40 mins ago

          You linked your team a few weeks back to prove a good GW OR, I must have saved it because it was a good team for reference

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 53 mins ago

    Lloris is scared of Salah

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      9 years, 49 mins ago

      Sometimes I wonder about these goalkeepers... Wouldn't take much to stop that Salah shot

  16. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 52 mins ago

    Gomez looks like a decent pick with lovren now a huge doubt for next game.. can play both cb and rb

  17. magnolia21
    9 years, 52 mins ago

    TRIPPER SO MUCH BETTER THAN DAVIES

    1. Rash
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      *walker

    2. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      OK

    3. Steinburg FC
      9 years, 51 mins ago

  18. Rainer
    9 years, 52 mins ago

    Alli is playing? What!

  19. Debauchy
    9 years, 52 mins ago

    So many questions , should I keep Kane ?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      Get Son, I know how much you like him 😉

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 50 mins ago

    2. Rash
      9 years, 51 mins ago

      No sell asap

    3. George Sillett
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      No he's crap ( or he was last week according to many considered opinions ).

    4. Rainer
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      I'd sell, best defence in the league next game.

      1. GAMBIT
        9 years, 50 mins ago

        Lindelof is worse than Lovren

        1. Jar Jar Winks
          9 years, 49 mins ago

          get out of here, this is the guy who had 4 seasons in england

    5. A Team Of James McCleans
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      Sell for -8

  20. UnitedXCI
    9 years, 52 mins ago

    Ben Davies -> Otamendi for free?

    1. Les Bleus
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      Yes

    2. Sailboats
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      yes

    3. Squashed
      9 years, 47 mins ago

      Yes if u r not trip on thier attack

  21. Fresh_From_Desh
    9 years, 51 mins ago

    I think captaining kane for the next 2 weeks will be the easiest decision for me. Click, leave and hope for the best!

    1. OPTA FPL
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      lol they wont face Lovren everyweek

  22. CFC96
    9 years, 51 mins ago

    remember getting told repeatedly to out eriksen and salah for city and chelsea and even 2 weeks ago it was mystifying. Surely these 2 are season keepers...

    1. Sailboats
      9 years, 50 mins ago

      "out eriksen and salah"

      Pretty sure nobody said that

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 49 mins ago

        This

        1. CFC96
          9 years, 47 mins ago

          Read my reply

      2. CFC96
        9 years, 48 mins ago

        I couldn't afford sterling and everytime I posted wildcard ideas it was always being said to take 1 out for sterling or silva as that was template

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 49 mins ago

      Salah going nowhere for me

    3. TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 47 mins ago

      Pretty much, yeah. There are a couple of slightly better players out there, maybe, but so so few who are equally good and equally rotation proof.

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 51 mins ago

    Kane trying to score from half-way line

  24. Sánchez
    9 years, 50 mins ago

    How's that Wembley curse getting on today?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 49 mins ago

      Wait until Kane gets a RC

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 50 mins ago

    If I had went for richarlison + ota over sterling + cameron.. this gameweek would have been insane in the membrane.. also considered jesus to agueeo instead of laca to aguero.. regrets regrets regretS

  26. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    9 years, 50 mins ago

    Does Kane cover trippier?

  27. magnolia21
    9 years, 50 mins ago

    Davies is so soft... all hype..

  28. Steinburg FC
    9 years, 49 mins ago

    Did Kane shot from inside his own half?

  29. Rainer
    9 years, 49 mins ago

    Kane range

  30. Sims
    9 years, 49 mins ago

    only explanation of bavies benching is salah likes to come in and poch preferred a right footed player on that flank. thats not really worked out for him
