FanTeam: Big Pick 6 offers prizes for Gameweek 9


Sponsored by FanTeam


This week’s FanTeam Big Pick 6 selection mixes things up a bit. In this one-week game with no budgetary restrictions and a £2 entry fee, it would be straightforward to simply recommend Cole Palmer, Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min from Sunday’s matches.

However, these differential players – if successful – could skyrocket your six into the top 20%. That means a share of FanTeam’s £10,000 prize pool.

FanTeam: Big Pick 6 offers prizes for Gameweek 9

From a selection of top-flight meetings, you can pick any six players.

Throughout the day, these will gain points from goals, assists, clean sheets, saves and shots on target but could also lose some for cards, penalty misses and own goals. There’s also a punishment for stacking multiple defensive clean sheets from the same club.

Meanwhile, there is no budget and no positional restrictions. The only barrier is limiting yourself to a maximum of three players per team.

Gameweek 9 differential picks

Sunday’s contest is incredibly easy to enter and is an additional way to enjoy the afternoon matches:

  • West Ham United v Manchester United
  • Chelsea v Newcastle United
  • Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur
  • Arsenal v Liverpool
FanTeam: Big Pick 6 offers prizes for Gameweek 9 1

We learnt last season that Alejandro Garnacho loves to shoot. Finishing as the number two midfielder for penalty area attempts (81), he’s doing similar this time. Eight shots versus Brentford, five of which were on target and one ended Man United’s run of seven halves without scoring. And if head-to-head records hold importance, he’s already scored three times in three matches against West Ham.

Fellow winger Noni Madueke seems to be a secure league starter and wasn’t used in Chelsea’s midweek trip to Panathinaikos. He could have a field day versus this out-of-sorts Newcastle and an explosive player like him is exactly what’s needed in this one-week game. Something like a repeat of Gameweek 2’s hat-trick at Wolves.

Then again, Newcastle may currently be seventh-worst for conceding shots on target (42) but Chelsea have allowed 45. The Magpies are normally frequent goal scorers and star striker Alexander Isak netted in both of last season’s meetings with the Blues. An injury and poor team performances have restricted him to one goal so far but seven shots – four on target – last week bode well for the Stamford Bridge clash.

Meanwhile, one of last week’s minor surprises was that Brennan Johnson neither scored nor assisted in Spurs’ 4-1 win. Goals during the previous three league games make him a popular Fantasy asset, as do his second-most box shots (26). Sunday’s trip to winless Crystal Palace comes with plenty of potential.

If a defender needs picking out from these matches, it’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. Backing a clean sheet against Arsenal isn’t usually advised but Liverpool have the best backline of these opening weeks and the Gunners may be without both Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Add in his well-known attacking threat and suddenly he’s a top target.

Mikel Arteta’s side are also without suspended centre-back William Saliba. The combination of that and a Diogo Jota injury doubt could give Darwin Nunez his second league start of the season and a pathway to goals. Remember that – of those who played at least 600 minutes – he had 2023/24’s best rate of minutes per shot.

        Justin is a punt because he's scoring as a defender at the moment, and Forest don't score much. It was between him and Digne for me. I went with BJ because I wanted a Spurs player and BJ should play better without Son.

    Not meant to be provocative and I have nothing against women's football but why do BBC mix men's and women's football news on their website? Would it not be better to allow people to select what they are interested in rather than forcing everything down everyone's throats? Same with rugby. Why don't they also include junior or under 18's news? Is it just gender box ticking?

      Isn’t it just a case of getting used to it? They don’t divide tennis or athletics by gender, but the women’s side of those sports has had a more equal profile for a long time so nobody minds

        I think one key difference with tennis and athletics is that they tour together and compete at the same events at the same time. It's not a massive deal but I just feel like it would be better if people were able to choose what they want to follow.

      Many people enjoy both - especially days like today when both the women's national team are playing and we have a friday night kickoff in the PL...

      The BBC also insist on just saying for example: "Arsenal" in headlines, rather than "Arsenal Women", so if they are in for a transfer, it works as clickbait.

      Also, they constantly prompt me to sign in, with that picture of that woman with her arms raised, to tick off two minority boxes.

      Not kidding though. He has been spurs best player of late. Seriously underpriced considering he was just a 0.6 upgrade from esr. Most players i own are template and he is a proper differential

        I am happier to have Johnson over him. Kulu isn't bad, but Johnson is worth the little extra imo.

      I think he’ll be fine, Ange has decided to cut the straight-talking Aussie act and join Arteta playing mind games!

    Bench decision: bench one of

    Lewis (bou)
    Gabriel (new)
    Mykolenko (sou)
    Konate (BRI)

    Konate is 'Donate' on autocorrect, hope he isn't that generous.
