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

    1. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 15 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
      5 months, 15 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
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Hold this week for v lds, get Mateta GW10.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Hold

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 15 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
    5 months, 15 days ago

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

    1. Cold Palms
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

        1. Artilleryman
          • 3 Years
          5 months, 15 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
            5 months, 15 days ago

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

  5. BinManJack
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

    2. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Who scores more points this week?
      Cucu or Enzo?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Enzo

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

    3. Cold Palms
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 15 days ago

      I would do Caicedo get rid of Mitoma keep Rice

    4. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Think I'll be using my FH around xmas

    5. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        roll, paqueta

      2. Malkmus
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

        I'd do A to get Enzo for sunderland

    6. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Just Foden to Gakpo maybe?

        1. The Mighty One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 months, 15 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.

    7. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 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
          5 months, 15 days ago

          Nice one, thank you

    8. Ranger3
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

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

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Munoz. I'm thinking of selling Porro for Chalobah

        1. Ranger3
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 15 days ago

          What about Reece James

          1. Feanor
            • 16 Years
            5 months, 15 days ago

            That would be the flair pick, I suppose

    9. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        ye

      2. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

    10. sneif4
      • 13 Years

      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
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

        1. sneif4
          • 13 Years
          5 months, 15 days ago

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

      2. Malkmus
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

    11. fkmzcgp
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        On current form, Gabriel

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

        gabriel

      3. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Gab

      4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years

      Hi....3fts and 0.7m. Plan has always been to bb this week....

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

    13. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

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

    14. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

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

    15. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Play 1

      A. Sarr vs Arsenal
      B. Dewsbury-Hall vs Spurs
      C. Virgil vs Brentford

      1. F4L

    16. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        DCL is bad at finishing set pieces

    17. Yordan Letchkov
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 15 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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        4.5 and upgrade one def.

    18. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Kudus to Enzo for free?

      1. OldSchool
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

        Enzo or Gakpo?

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No

      3. Baps Hunter

        Y if no other issues

    19. basilfawlty

      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
        5 months, 15 days ago

        I’d move out Vdv with a ft.

        1. basilfawlty
          • 4 Years
          5 months, 15 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
            5 months, 15 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
              5 months, 15 days ago

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

    20. Vincetac84
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

      Bench one:

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

      1. FPL Blow-In

      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

    22. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

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

    23. RedKev81
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 15 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?

    24. Smudgerrr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 15 days ago

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

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 15 days ago

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

        1. Smudgerrr
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 months, 14 days ago

          Thanks.

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

          So 5 viable, and only need 4 really.
