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

      Haha. I don't class Jonty a dullard any more. Over the last 2 season's he lost his Dullard tag.

    A minute's silence for all those that did Alli > Sterling for this GW

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

      Yep. Think it was still the right transfer

      1. Sims

    Sold Alli, Laca for Sterling, Morata. LOL@me

    How do I avoid making such mistakes?

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

      By being a dullard and avoid dropping players with decent fixtures??

    2. GENERATION X

      its not a mistake just bad luck

      2. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I would consider selling Alli as sensible, he was hopeless for a long time. Laca, im not sure, never been lucky with the third striker.

    whisper it but Kane is one of my captain options next week

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

      If Bailly is fit there is going to be another Mou "masterclass" probably.

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

      Me too....but United not conceded at old Trafford

      Also looking at salah.

      And jesus depending on city team midweek....

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

      nonsence, united defence solid as a rock. You didn't see them v huddersfield?

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

        Well I guess a lot depends on who is fit.

        If it looks like lindelof is fit Kane is an even better captain option.

        But reckon reasonable chance Jones or Bailly back

  12. MikeDuff

    Kane said 'cramp' to Poch when he came off

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

      No he said 'You tramp' for benching Davies.

    Gea Elliot
    Davies, Luiz, cresswell, jagielka, rangel

      1. Shuvo127
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Having two city mid is making me more confused..thought of ritchie>richardli. Then again my defense need some fixing...

  15. FPL Virgin

    Always captain Kane?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Unless he is injured or suspended.

    2. Robben Mee Blind

      Hey Virg. Congrats on Sanchez. Did you captain him?

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

        No 🙁

        Captained Hazard.

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ah well, at least he got something. No worse off than Lukaku cappers like myself and better off than jesus ones. Don't think I'll be putting armband on Harry vs united but don't know who I will go for instead

    3. HamezMace

      No plenty of options for hauls in the Man City team

    So after last week Kane being a waste of money , can't score at Wembley balls is he now flavour of the month ?

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

      I had him as captain last week. I had him as captain this week. The problem with Kane is he is not a predictable goalscorer. He can score a hat-trick against Chelsea and blank against Swansea. Contrast that to Lukaku who will almost certainly blank against Chelsea, but score against Swansea.

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

    Davies still on a clean sheet. Oh wait.

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

      About 10 minutes left for Davies to substitute either Aurier or Trippier

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

      At least he won't come on if Spurs are cruising

  21. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years

    Not too disappointed with having Kane and Lukaku next week

  22. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years

    Disaster

  23. FPL ZB
