Mark Sutherns is back alongside Andy North for another Premium Members-only chat to kick off Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 9.

The video is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark is recording for our subscribers every Gameweek throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see his regular appearances.

This week’s episode focuses on the biggest development of the week in Romelu Lukaku‘s (£11.6m) injury, discussing the best replacements for the Belgian as well as the points potential of Kai Havertz (£8.1m) when neither Lukaku or Timo Werner (£8.6m) are available.

Additionally, the pair talk about the emotional rollercoaster of owning a Chelsea defender, before they both reveal their Gameweek 9 line-ups.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Yes

          Vieira on Palace TV was clear on what he brought to the side and that Tekkers was a late call due to Zaha. Also said that Edouard could play all across front line which makes him even more nailed.

          Interested to see he's becoming something on FFS now.

          The problem with him is that Palace attack aren't creating that many chances for all the possession and attacking positions.

      Me. Havertz has 1 goal and 0 assists in 317 minutes. Really not convinced he is going to score bucket loads of goals all of a sudden. Only issue is which defenders are going to start, hard to get 2 that will start.

      If Mount plays false nine and Tuchel plays 3 forwards, there's still 2 more spots to fill. Most likely Ziyech and Havertz imo

      Doubt Tuchel goes for 2 up front but if he does then it's 2 of the blokes in question. Probably Havertz and Mount

    Tempted to go 1) as have pretty strong bench, I take advantage of the immediate Chelsea def fixtures while doubling up Azpi + Chilwell, as well as have that 0.9ITB, which will give me flexibility if needed.

    1) Raya, Azpi + playing bench: Livra, Duffy and 0.9ITB

            Great insight, appreciate it. My minds in two places as normally if I think it’s even, id lean the mid option due to them getting more points for G/CS. Although just have a feeling about Kane this week but not sure how to gauge Spurs and even United defense cause we’ve seen last season they can park the bus against the big sides
