With Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our pundits are starting to finalise their teams before Friday’s deadline.

GAMEWEEK 8 REVIEW
Does anyone have a decent forward that I could sign on loan? What a disaster these have been in recent weeks.
Hopefully, a brace in midweek brace will see Viktor Gyokeres (£9.0m) kick on and do what we expected him to do at Arsenal. As much as I can’t wait to sell Joao Pedro (£7.5m), he’s going to survive for at least one more week, due to other priorities.
Captain Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) somehow managed a 14-pointer without any attacking returns, which was very sweet. Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m) did the business by setting up the winner over Liverpool, while Daniel Munoz (£5.6m) registered two assists. What a Fantasy gem he is.
Aside from those three, it wasn’t a great Gameweek. Fingers crossed that this one will be more productive.
