There are two more Gameweek 9 press conferences happening on Thursday, with Marco Silva and Regis Le Bris providing us with the latest team news from Fulham and Sunderland.

The key quotes will be in this article below.

You can find the latest injury updates from Leeds United’s Daniel Farke and West Ham United’s Nuno Espirito Santo in Wednesday’s press conference summary.

The managers of the other 16 Premier League clubs will fulfil their media commitments on Friday.

KEY GAMEWEEK 9 INJURY UPDATES FROM THURSDAY

THURSDAY’S PRESS CONFERENCE TIMES

FULHAM

Joachim Andersen (hamstring) will miss the trip to Newcastle United this weekend.

“Joachim Andersen, as we suspected, and as I mentioned after the match, it’s a muscular injury. Not so serious but he’s going to be out. He’s not going to be available for the Newcastle match.” – Marco Silva

Antonee Robinson (knee), Rodrigo Muniz (muscle) and Samuel Chukwueze (calf) remain out, too.

Another concern is Harry Wilson (knock), who hasn’t trained the last few days.

“Just a doubt about Harry Wilson. He got a knock in the national team, a small issue. He made it for to play against Arsenal. Let’s see if he is going to be ready or not. Yesterday was not in condition. Today, he didn’t train as well. Let’s see how tomorrow he is going to react. Nothing really serious.” – Marco Silva

Sasa Lukic (groin) is back “in contention”, however.

Tom Cairney (back) has also shaken off the niggle he picked up in Gameweek 8.

SUNDERLAND

Omar Alderete (head) is out of the trip to Chelsea as the Paraguayan stopper has to observe the Premier League’s concussion protocol.

Regis Le Bris hopes to have him back for Gameweek 10.

“The only one is Omar. He is under the concussion protocol with daily assessments. So, we’ll keep monitoring his progress through the end of this week and into the next one to see if he will be available for Everton. But for now, it’s too early to tell.” – Regis Le Bris on team news

Reinildo Mandava returns after a three-match ban, at least, so he may slot straight back in at left-back.

Romaine Mundle (hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Aji Alese (shoulder), Leo Hjelde (Achilles) and Habib Diarra (groin) remain on the injury list.

    Play Caicedo Sun H or Reijnders AVL A?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Caicedo

    2. Jet5605

      Caicedo

    3. Il Capitano

      7 months, 22 days ago

      Caicedo

  2. borat

    Play BB or wait for any DGw before Gw19 if any,
    Dubravka Reijnders Porro Esteve

    1. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Going to do it this GW rather than wait. Want it out the way - have same as you with Gud instead of Porro.

    2. Artilleryman
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Unless it is weather related, it is very unlikely that there will be a DGW in GW1-19.

      Your bench looks good for this GW: 2 x v WOL, 1 x avl and 1 x eve

    Hi Guys

    Thoughts on Bowen, keep or transfer out?

    1. Artilleryman
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Hold this week for v lds, get Mateta GW10.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Hold

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Very funny that the picture is him on the beach. Thats where hes been since the contract extension

  4. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Is salah likely to be benched gw9 even if isak out?

    1. Cold Palms
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 22 days ago

      He’s not so important around here as he used to be - little more of a selection risk - I can’t see Isaak effecting his selection in anyway

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        Just don't know whether to sell with rejinders to mbeumbo & saka -4 ahead of wc10

        1. Artilleryman
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 22 days ago

          Not convinced Saka & Mbeumbo are > Salah & Reijinders plus 4 points; especially as it is only for one week

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            7 months, 22 days ago

            True it's just salah & rejinders could be benched and risk of 1 point cameo

  5. BinManJack
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    FPL Draft questions,
    Would you trade Rice and Mitoma for Caicedo and Reijnders?
    Worried about Reijnders nailedness and starting position with Foden and Marmoush now back

    1. z13
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 22 days ago

      No because Rice is undervalued with all the other guys taking the attention.

  6. FPLamateur
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Who scores more points this week?
    Cucu or Enzo?

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Cucu I'd say, if Maresca has learned anything it's that JP works better as a 10, behind Guiu. So Enzo next to Caicedo.

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Enzo

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Cucurella I think - Enzo will sit deep and could have his minutes managed again

  7. Cold Palms
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 22 days ago

    I would do Caicedo get rid of Mitoma keep Rice

  8. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Any idea how long Anderson out? Worth a transfer or just bench?

    When are people using FH if still available?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Think I'll be using my FH around xmas

  9. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    1 FT and 3.6m ITB.

    A - Paqueta > Enzo
    B - Roll and play either Paqueta or Reijnders

    Pope
    Gabriel - Timber - Senesi 
    Gakpo - Semenyo - Paqueta - Grealish
    Haaland - Wolt - Mateta

    Dubrav - Reijnders - Andersen - Gudmund 

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      roll, paqueta

    2. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      I'd do A to get Enzo for sunderland

  10. The Mighty One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Hi fam. Couple questions please:

    Foden & Reindeers to Boomo & Gakpo for -4. I like it, but am I overthinking it? I try to be patient.

    Richards to Munoz next week. Too sideways? If I don't do that Mbeumo & Gakpo then I would get Munoz next week.

    Cheers.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Just Foden to Gakpo maybe?

      1. The Mighty One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        Good point. No need to remove them both. So much competition for spots at City...Foden should get a lot of playing time but Gakpo and Mbuemo are solid. Thanks.

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Anyone seen any Romero injury updates? I can't find anything.

    I'm going to bench boost this week. What do you reckon to these moves?

    A) Romero + Reijnders to Burn + Enzo (free)
    B) Just Romero to Burn and play Reijnders
    C) Something else

    2FT 1.3ITB
    Raya
    Gabriel Senesi Rodon
    Saka Semenyo Ndiaye Reijnders
    Haaland Bowen JP

    Dubravka Romero* Stach Tarkowski

    Thanks

    1. RedKev81
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Not sure on Romero but A for free sounds good regardless of gw/situation to me

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        Nice one, thank you

    2. RedKev81

      Reply fail below

  12. Ranger3
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Start Porro or Munoz ? Fixture say Porro, but that Munoz is so attacking

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Munoz. I'm thinking of selling Porro for Chalobah

      1. Ranger3
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        What about Reece James

        1. Feanor
          • 17 Years
          7 months, 22 days ago

          That would be the flair pick, I suppose

  13. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Is Vicario-Kudus-Reijnders-Porro worth a BB? I have one FT so could go Porro to Chalobah, or something else. Zero ITB

    Dubravka
    Gabriel, Timber, Tarkowski, Senesi
    Semenyo, Gordon, Grealish
    Haaland (c), Gyokeres, Pedro

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      ye

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Absolutely bench boost that.
      And yes, I would move out Porro to Chalobah.

  14. sneif4
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC team would be much appreciated:

    Raya Dubravka
    Timber Burn James Munoz Esteve
    Semenyo Saka Kudus Gordon Sarr
    Haaland Woltemade Guiu

    0.2ITB

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      really nice. I'd like Gabriel in there if you can downgrade somewhere but that's strong

      1. sneif4
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        Thanks. Gabriel was definitely my preferred Arsenal defender, the downgrades elsewhere just felt too big

    2. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      I'd look to downgrade the defence to get Gab in

  15. fkmzcgp
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Which is more of a priority to get in? Gabriel or Saka? I’ve got 1FT and can do either

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      On current form, Gabriel

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      gabriel

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Gab

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Gab he is a rank killer

    Raya dubravka

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Solid. I prefer Pope+Timber over Raya + Burn.

  17. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Which one scores more over next 2:
    A) Gordon (FUL+whu)
    B) Gakpo (bre+AVL)

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    anyone tempted to run it back like its gw1 with the Gakpo + Ekitike double up?

  19. Make United Great Again

    Play 1

    A. Sarr vs Arsenal

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    An evil voice in my head is telling me to punt on DCL because W Ham are so bad a defending set pieces 😯

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      DCL is bad at finishing set pieces

  21. Yordan Letchkov
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Best under 6.1m option for the next few weeks?

    A) Caicedo
    B) Dango
    C) Minteh
    D) Antony

    Thanks

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      4.5 and upgrade one def.

  22. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Kudus to Enzo for free?

    1. OldSchool
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Enzo or Gakpo?

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      No

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Y if no other issues

  23. basilfawlty
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    is this a roll?

    Raya
    Gabriel Senesi VDV
    Saka Semenyo Gordon Paqueta
    Haaland Pedro Mateta

    Dubravka Reijnders Lacroix Andersen 2 FT 0.1 ITB

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      I’d move out Vdv with a ft.

      1. basilfawlty
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        To who? Only got 0.1 ITB.

        Wouldn't mind a Chelsea defender

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 22 days ago

          Acheampong should get some games but will be a rotation risk long term.

          You have Palace and can’t afford any other Chelsea or Newcastle defenders.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 months, 22 days ago

            Or else use 2ft to sell Vdv and one of Reijnders/Paqueta to afford Cucurella

  24. Vincetac84
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Bench one:

    A) Tarkowski (vs Spurs)
    B) Grealish (vs Spurs)
    C) Reijnders (vs Aston)
    D) Mateta (vs Arsenal)

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      A

      1. Vincetac84

        Thanks

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Line up correct here? I’m finding it difficult on Anthony v Krejci. I’d normally favour the attacker but have a feeling that Wolves might finally get their first win. It’s a MUST win really

    Petrovic
    Gabriel, Caliaflori, Senesi, Krejci
    Saka, Semenyo, Minteh
    Haaland, Pedro, Woltemade

    Vicario, Anthony, Sarr, Munoz 1ft .7itb

  26. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Ndiaye best mid up to 6.6m for 1 week punt? My concern is no one decent to finish his crosses

  27. RedKev81
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Currently have Anthony, Reijnders and Stach in my midfield.
    Who would you keep, bench, sell?
    Was gonna play Anthony and Stach but Stachs goal involvement seems to have dropped drastically.
    Want Enzo and Sarr for next week
    Should I replace one with Enzo this week for a -4, if so which 1, or play Stach and do both next week for a hit then?

  28. Smudgerrr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 22 days ago

    Andersen & Reijnders to Tuanzebe (bench fodder) & Enzo?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 22 days ago

      Not bad in isolation if your 4th def is good enough. No other way?

      1. Smudgerrr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 22 days ago

        Thanks.

        Defence is Gabriel, Tarkowski, Senesi, Mukiele, Andersen.

        So 5 viable, and only need 4 really.

  29. LS11
