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

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure they'll be relieved to avoid the cut.

    Disappointed no Eriksen involvement in 3 goals

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

      Second half goal and assist incoming.

        Nope. Just very jealous of that score 🙁

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years

      That double pivot needs to go I think, he's got money ITB and that's where I'd put it

        This.

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Otamendi made the difference.

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

    Ramsey likely to keep those 2bps?

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

      3*?

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

        Ozil is miles ahead

  8. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Davies OOP with Rose at LB could be a lethal combo down the left for Spurs. Any chance that happens?

    Getting rid but thought just popped into my head

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

      Neither playing now so I doubt both will suddenly start

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

      Considering Spurs play a 3-4-2-1, not really no.

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I know but just wondering whether Poch may change it up at some point this season, feel like both are too good to rot on the bench

  9. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    As a Kane and Tripper owner, if this game could end right now that'd be great.

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

      Why would you possibly want this game to end? Kane could get 4 or 5 here

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think you quite understand fpl

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No idea how Son doesn't get more game time. He always does well when he plays. He has done better than Alli has recently.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Imagine the day that Alli gets benched for Son 😯

        One of the most underrated players in the league

    4. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      it sounds Knee-jerky.. but Eriksen owners:
      Keeping or selling?

      1. thunder_mike
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think I am selling, at least in the short term.

      2. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        might swap for salah then swap back the week after lol

        1. PL Ball
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yup. Salah is really tempting! But then Palace for Spurs the week after United. Damn..

      3. Victor6359
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Keeping. Why are you thinking on getting rid, cause he got 2 points or did he go off injured? Season keeper unless injured

        1. PL Ball
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Well i did say it sounds Knee jerky. I dunno.. he's done decently so far this season but not quite as involved.. Another annoying aspect is Trippier is taking his fair share of Free kicks/corners.

      4. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years

        What???

    5. Collie01

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What to do here?

      Elliot/Foster*

      Jones*, Yoshida, Daniels, Naughton*
      Eriksen, Sterling*, Ritchie*
      Jesus*, Kane, Lukaku*

      (TC, Stephens, 4.0)

      Was going to hold WC until GW12 but seriously considering it now. Team isn't too bad but lots of little things I'd like changed. Thoughts?

      1. PL Ball
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        May I ask why quite a few people are very keen on a GW12 WC?

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It's the next international break.

          International break, fixture shift.

          1. PL Ball
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ahh. Got it. Thanks guys!

    6. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Exact cash for Eriksen to Alli and Chalobah to Zaha.

      Good trades?

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

        Eriksen - Pool mid

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

          Already got Salah and still got Firmino.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years

        That is so side ways it is like one of those sideways crab

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          All crabs?

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

          Not really. Enables long term crock Chalobah to Zaha who's playing striker.

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

            Not sure Zaha is the answer - why not just do Chalobah to RLC or Carroll like everyone else ?

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

              Zaha is going to be the main man without a doubt. Don't forget he was in everyone's teams at the start. Good run of fixtures and looking better each game.

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

                Go for it then

      3. 2hotty

        i smell crab paste

    7. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get a flag on Kane asap

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

      Anyone doubling up on Aguero and Jesus?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        decent idea on paper but it could become frustrating very quickly

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

          Also fear that. But think pep will play with both most matches?

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I think he will but an extremely congested period to come. This is where we are going to have to ship our city assets

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

        It's a really difficult one. Unless he starts playing both of them together you're resigning yourself to having 10million on the bench each week.

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

          And having to guess which one has the cameo (e.g. which one not to cap)

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

          Agree. Would allow me to get Richarlison for free.

          Other option is Jesus, Gross, Davies to Kun, Richarlison and Trippier for -4

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

        Nahhhh - pep will give you a heart attack

      Kane loves Wembley. I wish I had Trippier over Davies

    11. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku > Aguero for free.

      Yes or no?

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

        Wait for Wolves

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm considering this too.

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

        wait till mid week

      4. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yes after Wolves, im not saying Lukaku will be a complete turd. But Aguero is way more explsoive and all of City compared to how Man U play or Lukuka

    12. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bismillah!

      1. Dokdok666
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        InSalah?

    13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      in order to get aguero I need to remove one of sterling or silva. which one would you remove?

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

        Sterling.

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

        Sterling, just for the pure annoyance that he won't consistently start.

    14. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Where's Lovren when you need him?

      1. Business Cat

        Therapist's couch

    15. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alli out for Sterling -4 paid off

    16. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      2FT

      Bavies & Vardy to Bellerin &Firmino

      Y/N?

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

        Y

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I have a feeling that Vardy will backfire

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

            There is a chance

            1. Gooner97
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Would you get Trippier instead?

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

        Why on earth would you want Firmino?

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Great fixtures

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

            8.5 for a guy that picks up 2 pointers week in and week out. No thanks. By far the worst Pool pick.

    17. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine selling him 😆

    18. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month 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
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Chasing last weeks points.

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

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

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month 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
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Sheep...and cats

      5. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

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

      7. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

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

    19. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Spurs on fire, who needs left backs anyway

      1. Own Goal

      Surely has to be Kane hat trick coming...surely

    22. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How does Salah manage to be sooo bad at BPS?

      I know he misses a lot but today he's scored and still finished behind Matip who's conceded 4 goals

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He got 1 bos

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
