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

FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, is fully committed to going without Mohamed Salah (£14.3m) and Erling Haaland (£14.7m) this season. He shares his latest thoughts below.

General no Salah Haaland

GAMEWEEK 8 REVIEW

FPL General’s Gameweek 9 team reveal + transfer plans

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.

            Fairs, could you help me with a dilemma:

            A) Start Stach and roll FT
            B) Romero > James and bench Stach

            Would mean I only have 1FT to play with next week gw though

              B is the more fun pick. James could well get a CS and attacking returns. I don't really fancy Stach in tonight's fixture.

            I know. Hence the quandary.

            So don’t bring him in? Let’s face it he’ll most likely start

        My bench is currently:
        Dubravka / Rodon / Stach / Reijn

        I have Gabriel.

        A) Reijn > Enzo for free and BB (this was original plan)
        B) Roll, dont BB, Stach and Rodon as bench cover for Gab

          Similar position as you with Gabriel

          I’ve already done reijnders to enzo and am keeping the BB (Dub, Gud, Stach, VDV) it doesn’t get much better for Leeds at home to WH going forward.
