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

    Haz -> Salah for free?

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not for me

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yes for me

          Salah almost plays as a striker

          He seems perfect for fpl

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

            This is what I've been thinking. Haz played a bit deeper than I would have liked for that price.

            The question is though, would Cout be a better pick for the next few when teams will normally sit back?

      Ritchie, Lukaku > Richarlison, Kun (-4)?

      1. KingoftheRunts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        considering this exact transfer myself. Already pulled the trigger on richarlison before he rises. Going to wait for after the carabao for the aguero decision

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Why? Richarlison is nowhere near a rise

          1. KingoftheRunts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            It was actually that Tadic was about to drop. I just couldn't be bothered to say I had him instead of Ritchie.

      Is Mariappa more or less nailed now? Thinking I should try and get a nailed bench sorted in anticipation of ongoing rotation issues with the City lads.

      1. KingoftheRunts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. Prodl and Kaboul not far off returning - at least according to the fpl info box estimate. Mariappa will be the first to get dropped I should think.

        I was considering this transfer as well but another not nailed player wouldn't help me

            It would be too easy. I'm stuck with Jesus Gamez for the foreseeable future. I feel your pain

    4. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would you do Jones, Eriksen and Atsu to Mee, Salah and Richarlison for -4??

      1. Feloh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yes

      2. I Member

      4. Evasivo

        Just Jones Atsu to Mee Richarlison

      6. AndyCook
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It’s close but probably worthwhile as much as I love Eriksen

      7. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What to do with this lot? Have 2FTs fortunately, but Bavies Vardy and maybe one of Citeh need to go.

        Bavies Vardy to Trippier Firmino?
        Bavies Jesus to Otamendi Morata?

        Ryan Elliott
        Cedric Davies Fernández Ward Simpson
        Hazard Sterling(C) Silva RLC Carroll
        Kane Jesus(vc) Vardy

        £0.0ITB

        1. AndyCook
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Wouldn’t be getting Trippier. I did Davies and Jesus to Otamendi and Morata

          • FF Dirtbag
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Don't like the second one. Think you have to keep Jesus.

          • Evasivo
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Trouble is I need a replacement for Bavies but can't bring in Otamendi as already have 3 Citeh

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              The otamendi, Morata one is probably worth it

          Rough rough week.

          My transfer was Alli->Sterling.

          Jesus (c)
          Sterling (hate him already)
          Mkhitaryan
          Davies

          Only way is up.

            Would've been absolutely awful for me if I hadn't captained Kane 😉

        3. AndyCook
            8 years, 1 month ago

            If you see when Salah scores in the PL it’s when teams come out and play against them. The next few matches we won’t see that and I think Salah will score more slowly.

            Bottomed.. Sold Kane for Kun this gw as fixtures were turning for Spurs.. and feeling the wrath.
            Eriksen didnt do nothing and Davies no show. Dang.
            Did not realise Liverpool were so terrible. Kane cappers Good on You!

              You’ve never watched Liverpool try to defend before then?

                Well, they parked decent against Utd last week. But I blame no one but myself. Have to look forward in this situation. Kun's got better fixtures, and hope to reap rewards.

          • gilean
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ritchie and Lukaku for Richarlison and Jesus/Morata for -4? Also have Jones and Davies as other issues in my squad.

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Why not sort out the other issues? Why bring in a player like Jesus who did not start for a nailed Lukaku ?

              1. gilean
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I have other defenders that play, and Lukaku has bad fixtures coming up. Actually tempted to wildcard. Have Sterling as another issue, but I already knew City players would be an issue before I brought him in.

              Wouldn't get rid of eriksen

              Maybe Jones

            If I captained kane and didn't sell Ramsey ➡ Sterling I'd have 76 points right now.

            If my granny had balls she'd be my grandfather I suppose.

              Someone in my ML had 40 odd points but Sterling cap autosubbed their VC Kane which pushed them up to 76! Ughhh

              Choupo-Moting / Mee / Dunk

              Consider Cresswell, though.

            Sorry if already asked but who should go first between Jones and Ben davies???

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Depends on Jones news...

              But bavies will always be rotation risk so I'm losing him first

            Who would you get in for this week, Mee or Duffy?
