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

    Who should be the priority to get rid of
    Jones or Bavies?

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

      Same dilemna

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

        So is Davies still supposedly "I'll" or just being bench.
        The fact that Aurier and Trippier both played is weird surely one is out of position and maybe that means Davies does have a temporary issue.
        Two best value defenders in the game so losing either is worrying.

        1. Mo Mané No Problems
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mane destroyed Davies with his pace in the fixture last season, so I think playing Aurier there was to deal with the pace of Salah.

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

      Bavies>otamendi was on my mind before this gameweek, certainly even more now

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bavies IMO

      With Rose back in the fold his minutes will suffer

    4. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wait on Jones update.

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all. Davies is worth a bit more too so a bit more to spend if I lose him. Think I can wait a day or two on Jones news.

    6. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Davies for sure

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

    A) Lukaku + Eriksen > Kun + Salah (-4)
    B) Lukaku + Bavies > Kun + Otamendi (-4)
    C) Lukaku > Kun (1FT)

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

      What if Kun gets benched next week for Jesus?

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

        they've already done the Kun transfer

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

        Could happen. The gamble we take eh.

    2. finnur89
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B, davies is not gonna get his gametime with rose back and aurier can play the leftback too i guess.. But salah is also the one too have from lpool attack.
      It´s a difficult one with eriksen usually a steady delivery off points. B cause you wanna get rid off Bavies with cs not on spurs schedule in next 3 gw at least and than you can see who is the man on left back.

  3. Sillet Bang
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan
    Monreal Bertrand Trippier Azpi
    Silva Grobb Salah
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Elliot Ward Carroll Stephens(Brighton)

    Cardy weak link? no change in bank

    1. Sillet Bang
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy!

    2. slamdunk
      • 8 Years

    3. finnur89
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would go Diouf as 3rd striker. 5.5 and delvered in last 3 games and is a name on the teamsheet now. Last 6 games, 3 goals and 2 assists. Quiet good and great fixs

  4. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which Pool mid guys?

    A) Salah
    B) Coutinho

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      salah

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate!

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

      I prefer Coutinho.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh that levels it up...

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Both good options. I’ve gone for Coutinho.

    4. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me

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

      Salah

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

      Bloody helpful that.... 😆

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Im still undecided!

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

          Get Oxlade-Chamberlain... 😉

    7. Magic Andrés
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Double up

  5. Stinglikeabee
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus and gross to Morata and richaldson for a hit?

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

      Wouldn't get rid of Gross, or Jesus depending on minutes midweek.

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

        I'd get rid of both. Not for a hit though, no urgency.

      2. Stinglikeabee
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, I wasn't sure. I have CHUPO-MOTTING as well. I might just swap Mbemba for Dunk and captain Jesus

  6. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on this team:
    Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Bertrand
    Sterling - Carroll - Eriksen - Salah
    Kane - Lukaku - Chicharito

    Bench: Foster, Hegazi, Mbemba, Chalobah.
    0.5M ITB and 2FT.

    Thinking:
    A: Hegazi, Chalobah, Chicharito --> Mee, Richarlison, Abraham for a hit.
    B: Davies, Eriksen, Chicharito --> Mee, Richarlison, Agüero for a hit.
    C: Other suggestions?

    But honestly I have no idea what to do with this squad. WC used. Would highly appreciate some advice!

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

      I have a very similar team but luckily have the WC so that’s being used this week now. Despite scoring well.

      Chica definitely needs to go, I’d look at Firmino or Vardy. Eriksen played a lot deeper today with Son & Alli pushing on so that could make him less attractive.

      Aguero is a must for me, he will haul big this season alongside Kane.

  7. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Foster Elliot
    Hegazi Lowe Jones Alonso Naughton
    Sane Silva Eriksen Atsu RLC
    Kane Abraham Lukaku

    2FT £0.5m ITB... open to a -4.

    What would you do?

  8. England23
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So is pool cover essential? I’d have to do it for a hit and lose either hazard or Eriksen

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

      thinking the same. Hazard might be the one to go..

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, I can see Huddersfield pulling off another surprise.

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

    Lukaku + Jones --> Aguero + Otamendi now or wait?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No need to do it yet?

    2. Magic Andrés
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wait if the budget allows

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        When is there next game?

        1. BoleynWin
          • 8 Years

          Midweek cup

    Thoughts on Davies & Jesus to Daniels & Aguero for free?

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

      Don't sell Jesus yet. Because he didn't play this week means he's near certain to play next week

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

    Pope - (Elliot)
    Otamendi - Luiz - Cedric - Ward - (Mbemba)
    Hazard - Sterling - Richarlison - (Carroll) - (Stephens)
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy 2FT 1.8ITB
    What to do? Want Pool mid and Vardy needs to go

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy to £4.5m and Stephens to Salah / Coutinho.

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

        Considering that. Want to keep a transfer though because need Kun soon and Mbemba isn't playing

    2. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m in a similar situation. Vardy to firminho??

  12. puhd
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll to Salah and Jesus to Diouf. For free. Yei or nei?

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

      No. I saw Diouf play wingback at some point this season.

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

        Or any other 5.5 forward

  13. Firmino
    • 10 Years

    Elliot Woodman
    Otamendi van Dijk Mee Wimmer Mbemba
    Hazard Salah Silva RLC TC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    2FT 0.0ITB

    What should I do??

  14. Point-one short

    Is it stupid to wait to see if Davies plays next gw??

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

      Yes.

    2. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      No

    4. Cityzen Kane
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No.. I'm gonna wait. Purely because no other great options.

  15. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Davies to

    A) Burnley def
    B) Brighton def

    Play

    1) RLC
    2) Joselu

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years

      A1

  16. R Whites
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Davies, Jesus, Sterling >> Ottamendi, Kun, Richarlison (-4, 0.9 ITB) ??

    1. seanmcging
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would & have done something similar

  17. flippetyflop
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is this insane?

    2fts - Hazard to Salah and Jesus to Aguero?

    Elliot Pope

    Azpi Otamendi Cedric Fernandez Mbemba

    Hazard Sterling Richarlison Chupo RLC

    Kane jesus vardy

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

      I own 13 of those players. I'd just get Salah and focus on selling Vardy too

    Richarlison,Aguero For Lukaku and Ritchie (2ft)
    Get rid of Davies for -4?

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 10 Years

      I've been thinking the same and Davies has to go.

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

        to who that's the problem no decent defence.Azpi ? chelsea not keeping cs

    Scout pick score?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Low

  20. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Salah or Coutinho the better pick from Liverpool?

    Good fixtures but I can't see Salah being given much space to get in behind.

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not bothered by either

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly my thinking. Liverpool will be playing much lesser teams who'll sit deep. This will give Coutinho much more space in midfield and Salah less in behind. I'd go Coutinho

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah edges it for me due to being on pens but Coutinho is a great pick as well.

  21. Stevecat
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Moreno and coutinho

    Or

    Dunk and salah

    1. Udo
      • 8 Years

      second

  22. KLOPPTOMANIA

    Jones Duffy Ward XXX? + cheapie

      Good luck with that bunch.

    2. Optimus.

      Jones is injured

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

      Otta

  23. Udo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why Dunk and not Duffy?

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only reason would be price

  24. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero going to price rise anytime soon?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years

      Not tonight

  25. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    61pts but Ramsey out for Sterling hurts. OR 53k and decided to WC. Thoughts on first draft

    Ryan Elliot
    Otamendi Naughton Kiko Ward Moreno
    Sterling Salah Richarlison Gross Carroll
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Could always double up on Pool attack by doing Firmino instead of Morata and use funds elsewhere.

    1. I Member

      Looks great.

  26. cilz88

    Hi Guys.
    Should I swap Jesus and Miki for Morata and Sane/Silva

    or Jesus Miki and Kolsaniac for Aguerro Sane/silva and Soares - 4point hit

    I have 2 FT thanks.

      98 captain points. I often managed to captain the wrong one between Lukaku and Kane.

      80 points total , so cut that in half to get what extra the captains earned = 40 points 🙁

    7. Pariße

    If Jesus starts Tuesday then chances must be Aguero starts WBA game? Only Pep knows but Lukaku to Aguero on a free tempting if he does not start Tuesday

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

      agree

    2. Cityzen Kane
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He mentioned in an interview aguero might get the record goal Tuesday night.. I assume he'd prefer it Tuesday vs Wolves as it's a home game. I reckon if he gets it Tuesday then jesus plays weekend vs WBA away.. Then that way aguero for CL.
      But only guess work. As we know, it's impossible to say with any certainty

  30. England23
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Okay thanks everyone that replied to all my questions!

    This week in doing Davies to Otta and next week I’m going to pocket some change from Kola to Daniels (hopefully he drops again) and keep it to upgrade Jesus to Aguero if his minutes drop too much if not it’s nice to have a few mil in the bank 😉
