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

    absolutely stuck with what to do this week.

    pope, Elliot
    bavies, jones, stones, ward, mbemba
    sterling, silva, coutinho, RLC, Carrol
    kaku, kane, vardy

    2ft 0.0itb

    so do I spend the 2 ft:

    1 - downgrade Davies, upgrade mbemba and keep jones until he's back?
    2 - Change both Davies and jones?
    3 - use one FT to take out another questionable player e.g. lukaku or Kane

    before this gw my transfers were going to be around thinking of getting aguero in for lukaku but now I've other problems, and arguably seeing all the rotations at city kind of think lukaku might get a stay of execution as at leat he's nailed every game

    tl:dr - know idea where to change please help

      Wait and see on Jones. If it doesn't look like long then 1. Otherwise 2. Wouldn't lose Kane!

  2. hjalmarekdal
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Sane or Silva?
    B) Best 4.4 def? Francis, Duffy, Cameron etc...

  3. Pea Soup

    Your task is simple...

    You have £11.4m to spend on any two defenders... who do you pick??

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

      Walker + Mee
      Otamendi + Jones

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      otamendi and VVD

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

    aguero nailed on for west brom?

    Worth ditching sterling?

  5. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Repost for a few more opinions:
    A)Davies + Jesus
    B) Kiko + aguero

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

      A are u kidding me?
      B every day

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

      lol

      A has to be a wind up

  6. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bavies owners keeping or selling?.

    5.9m for a defender who doesnt start regularly is not worth it imo.

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

      Sold him on Friday, no regrets

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted to keep. Have other problem areas aswell. Otamendi the obvious route but he rarely gets attacking returns.

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

        will he start vs man united?

  7. Mo Mané No Problems
    • 8 Years

    2.7 million --> 350k in 5 gameweeks 😀

  8. Strchld
    • 9 Years

    Gw 3 510k OR
    Gw 9 18.5k OR
    Something done right yea.

  9. Crazy Joe

    Well Haz and Laca to Ramsey and Kane seems like a no brainer for me.

    Anyone blurting the words "Wembley Curse" from this point on should be banned.

  11. Carlton_Goal
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with Davies? Already used my FT getting rid of Cresswell and cab't get Otamendi in without 2 transfers as I already have 3 city players

  12. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    Jumped from 441K to 74k this week. Chuffed.

  13. awgJose

    First WC draft here with 0.8 itb, any obvious pointers? GKs too risky?

    Elliot, Speroni
    Stones, Daniels, Mee, Gomez, 4.0
    Salah, Sane, Groß, Stanislas, Carroll/Surman
    Kane, Kun, Morata

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get Richarlison

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if Gomez starts getting rotated and when Hennessy returns you're only going to have 4 defensive starters out of 7

      you need to downgrade one of those strikers or mids, personally think it's got to be a fwd as your 3rd and 4th mids are both only going to get irregular points

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

        This

    3. borat
      • 9 Years

  14. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years

    With the impending price changes, are Jesus owners -

    A) Sticking

    Man I hope Pep doesn't burn me with (K)un next gameweek, massive opportunity

    1. Turns
      • 9 Years

      This

  22. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If you own Jesus is going to Kun a sideways move?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't do it, Kun might be the one benched next week. Wait for midweek game to get a better idea of Pep's thinking

      1. JogaSemmedo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yep it makes sense and I need to prioritise Liverpool attacking options. Morata is also in consideration think Chelsea may have turned a corner with that win.

  23. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which pair do you prefer?

    A) Richarlison Mee.

  26. SheBangsTheDrums

    Any Watford fans about? How long is Mariappa likely to hold onto his starting place?

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

      Not a Watford fan but heard someone here that kaboul and proddl are soon returning

  27. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen owners keeping him? Tempted to switch for Salah / Coutinho

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's the least of my worries right now.

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was a bit worrying that trippier took all set pieces I must say

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. Didn't like what I saw. Beavis had share of set pieces earlier this season aswell.

  28. BigBarn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Can anyone give me the link to the scouts' league, please? I'm curious.

  29. Rover
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ouch! Just saw that my OR went from around 500k to over a million after playing my WC this week.

    Took out Azpi (7) Trip (6) Bertrand (6) Suttner (0) Salah (7) Ritchie (6) Choupo-Moting (5) Brady (2) Kane (16) Jesus (1)
    Got in Maguire (2) Jones (1) Daniels (2) Hunemeier (0) Coutinho (2) Richarlison (5) Zaha (2) Sterling (0) Aguero (7) Morata (1)

    A 34 point loss there 🙁

    1. Galza
      • 8 Years

      That sucks mate...!!
      Unlucky... 🙁

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

        Hopefully my picks perform in the coming weeks

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

          It took 3 or 4 gameweeks til my wildcard started to pay off so don’t worry yourself too much..

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wow a wildcard that literally changed almost every player

        Would have been fine if you just did a couple of changes

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

          I've never thought of a WC as meaningful unless I change at least 1/2 of my team, so never played a WC with less than 8 changes. Well, only my third season, so lots left to learn...

    3. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      does Jones need to go?

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

        Depends on injury but if not serious keep and bench a couple of weeks he's not very expensive imo

      2. Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I downgraded him since I also have Maguire who will become Jones when he's back and the fixtures turn
