Kane, Fernandes or De Bruyne: Which premium FPL asset to own for Gameweek 9

Happy International Break everyone. Are you feeling glad that it’s here, with the opportunity to rest and recuperate from all the madness? Or are you longing for more football to sink your teeth into?

I feel as though Gameweeks 9 and 10 are crucial weeks in all of our seasons. Looking at the Season Ticker, there’s some huge swings in terms of difficulty, Manchester City soaring to the top with, debatably, the three best home games imaginable from both an attacking and defensive perspective. 

Manchester United also emerge from a difficult run of games to host West Brom – before facing three out of four games away from home where they have, up until now at least, looked better than under the lights of Old Trafford.

Tottenham on the other hand sink to the bottom of the ticker, with Wolves also set to face three tough teams – and a local derby against in-form Villa to boot. 

How Man City’s key FPL assets fared ahead of Spurs’ fixture swing

          Short term fixtures Justin but once all the main defs are back then he will be benched. Kilman nailed long term unless he makes a mistake

              The LEI defenders are out long term. Justin safe for a good while (more so than Kilman IMO)

            Justin. Much more attacking, in a better team and more nailed. There's literally no one else to challenge his place atm whereas Saiss could easily start over Kilman.

          Bottomed so popping it here

          Feel a bit stuck and at a cross roads, I could WC but feel I’m only a hit away from a close to WC team (ish).

          Mendy
          Dallas Bellerin KWP
          Son Salah Sterling Grealish Lookman
          Werner DCL

          Button Saiss Mitchell Brewster

          I was thinking def holds ok for one week before Dias in for Saiss. Lookman is my weak spot so was thinking Brewster and Son to ziyech and Watkins -4
          But if I can carry lookman, son can become Bruno or KDB, no hit

          Any thoughts?

          I am currently considering Son to Bruno or Vassilev to Watkins.

          In GW10, I can downgrade Kane to 6.1m FWD and Bissouma to KDB

            Looking at making 4 transfers in the next 3 gws - which do you prefer:

            A) Vardy, KDB, Bruno, Brewster (would be in a rotation with a 4th defender)
            B) Vardy, KDB, Martial, Zaha
            C) Vardy, KDB, Rashford, Bamford

            Vardy and KDB coming in regardless but thought I should list them as they will be transfers in.

              Werner/Vardy DCL Watkins

              2.0ITB

              GW10: Werner > Vardy
              GW11: Potential Bruno > KDB

                  Thanks that's what I'm on. It just means prioritising Vardy over KDB for GW10-13. The provisional transfer plan would look something like this.

                  GW10 Wener > Vardy
                  GW11 Save
                  GW12 ? Probs use 1FT where needed, maybe Zaha out because of fixture switch
                  GW13 Vardy + a mid > KDB + a striker (will be more clear who the other 2 moves are at the time)

                  It's basically

                  Vardy vs Fulham, SHU, Brigton
                  over
                  KDB vs Burnley, Fulham, UTD

                I’ve got Barkley. He seems to find a good rhythm with Grealish.
                From the Aston Villa mids it is either Grealish or Barkley. Watkins is a forwarder so you can’t compare him with Barkley.

                Cheers. It makes sense, in all honestly Rodriguez can still go for Grealish soon after anyway. Can give him Fulham.

                Thanks Mo. I've considered that, given it's an Ings-less Southampton. Not quite sure Brighton will keep a CS (good defensive stats aside).

                Similar bench to yours, but I have Kilman as first sub ahead of Podence.

                Too hard to say. Need updates on Pereira & Castagne.

                Would guess maybe half of them at least.

                  Thanks Hazz. Need a defender for 4.8 and he seems best but risky so might go with someone else

                    Ah I see. Justin is a risky buy but I agree Leicester defense looks great for those few if he does play.

                    In all fairness with Soyuncu out, even with those two back, Justin could play RCB.

                I think we’re gonna get a lot of advanced warning on Pereira coming back, so I reckon he’s safe for now.
