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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Defence and captaincies are handicapping my gameweeks, fixing both asap.

        Ouch, almost as bad for me with Kun being my only captained haul this season. Said I wouldn't overthink it and switch about my armband before the season began but reconsidering it things just ain't working, logical choice not scoring more etc. Perhaps a bit of overthinking or following the always captain Kane rule except vs any big team that isn't us or Arsenal will be my new approach

          I'm with you on that, the armband is back on kane from gw11 till Lord knows when, if Jones is injured I may even be crazy enough to cap next week as he seems to go big or come very close in every away game

    Anyone interested in Moreno or Gomez? Both 4.5 Liverpool defenders that have played 90 minutes in each of the last 4 games and have some great fixtures coming up.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

      Do you normally have faith in Liverpool defense?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years

        They actually have a very good record at home

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years

          Meh. Robertson and TAA surely to get a game with this fixtures too?

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am looking at different options. Need some drastic changes for my defense. Pool fixtures are tempting. But do I actually want their defense? Already got Coutinho. Might even swap Eriksen for Salah.

      I brought in Moreno this week to bench & play in coming fixtures. Quietly confident about his chances for next 3.

    Bit of an unfair advantage if Spurs reach a cup final at Wembley?

    1. Fred54

      At least they'll know where all the toilets are.

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      Think the crowd split is different - would be 50:50 at cup final

  11. Man Getting Hit By Football

    Watched the last two Arsenal games and have not been impressed with Kolasinac, purely in terms of attack.

    Bellerin looks much more threatening and gets into much better positions, plus Sanchez has been playing on the left wing reducing Kola's appeal.

    As a Kolasinac owner since gw1, I think I will ship despite being before the Swansea fixture, has not been as good as his price tag.

    1. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should go asap

    2. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Surely don't ship before the Swansea game..

      1. Man Getting Hit By Football
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The thing is I don't trust that Arsenal can keep a clean sheet, on paper it's a good fixture but the last two games aren't giving me much to be optimistic about. Could easily be another 1/2 points. Kola turns to Otamendi so easily...

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping him against Swansea for the CS

      After that it’s a bye

    4. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kola gets into amazing positions, Sanchez just doesn't want to pass to him for some reasons.

      1. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 9 Years

        Sanchez doesnt want to pass.

      Poch will probably say that he's still sick , i suspect though it was because he was skinned alive the last time he played liverpool

      Was hoping for a niggle. Combined with Jones and Dawson (and some smaller problems), may be time for the WC

    People saying Keita going to shore up Liverpool. Have you seen his goal stats?

    17 in 59 for Salzburg and 9 in 35 for Leipzig. He is just an upgrade on Wijnaldum. Where is the proper defensive midfielder Liverpool need?

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Although I agree with your point, your logic that just because he scores means he won't help defensively makes no sense.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why does being able to score make him defensively poor?

    3. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keita will add the bite in midfield that Liverpool badly need

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years

      salah.

      silva out of those

    2. Sweetboi

      Silva...guaranteed starts.

    3. We Will Klopp you

      Silva, nailed

    4. Scout Pics

      How are you even posing this question after yesterday?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What's your point? That Silva blanked or that Sterling was rested?

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling. Great value even if he doesn't start every game. Just make sure to hav one decent benchplayer.

  24. Viper
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully Davies stays on the bench so I can get Mee's 1 point off the bench 😉

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t make a difference

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Think it was a joke

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      🙂 Ward for me, so same difference.

    3. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Baives off the bench at least gives you a chance of attacking returns in addition to 1 point

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years

      Would pick Sane on athe wc even.though I think he is more nailed than sterling.. would look to downgrade him and get firmino instead of oka.. and maybe moreno instead of one of the defenders

    If we haven't had an article on choice defenders recently can we have one please? With the fixture shift and the Jones injury, i'm in need of a little reshuffle and could use some help. Failing an article, anyone here tell me who's looking good?

    Is Trippier nailed? Is Davies? Otamendi looks the best pick from City but is it a waste of a city spot picking a defender? Any other Man U assets worth investing in, who will take Jones' spot? Is Mee the best Burnley defender? Are Burnley looking that strong defensively? Are any of Bournemouth, Liverpool or Everton worth a shout with their fixtures or are they all too defensively unsound?

    These are all questions I'd like answered. Thanks in advance to anyone who spares a second to help me out.

        Burnley and Brighton defs with another rotator look the best bets, route I'm going down without WC

          Yeah Brighton are looking tight. Not much going forward but that's ok. Who is your Brighton defender of choice?

            Duffy, more goal threat, seems to do better with baps

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
