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.

    Anyone else think a good addition to this site would be, you can’t post a question unless you reply to say, 10 posts?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Cracking idea 🙂

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      I think at least 3-4

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 13 days ago

        Maybe 5 then. I guess 10’s a lot, but we should be helping one another. I imagine some only ever post questions

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Never reply to an unknown muppet popping up on deadline day...

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      imagine the amount of spamming, leaving things open to chaos

    5. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Does this count as one of my 10?

      B

  3. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    Start (A) Lacroix or (B) Gudmondsson

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      gud

    2. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    So Timber or James? Shoot!

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Timber

    2. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Timber

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Timber safer

    4. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Timber

    5. Joyce1998
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      James can be very explosive but can fall over from touchign a feather, Timber will get injured at some point but can carry on after a few bandages and will consistenly get you points. The choice is yours

  5. TSN
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    Start Porro or Grealish?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      grealish

  6. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    Who is a better bet this weekend and over the next 4-6?

    1. Wolt

    2. Welbeck

    Cheers and good luck

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      1

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      You never now with Welb, Wolte could be more steady

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      2 is a fun punt but 1 seems objectively better in every way

    4. TSN
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      A looks more consistent.

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      wolt for sure imo

      1. AC/DC AFC

  14. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    Hit the bench boost with gabriel

    Will never have a better bench

    Stach and rodon v west ham
    Dubravka v wolves
    Burn v Fulham

    If gabriel doesn't play and the 3 on the bench get 10 points then I'm happy

    Good luck all

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      My thoughts but need Gabs fit

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 13 days ago

        If he is not fit and one of the 4 above step in then it's possible the remaining 3 score 10 points. Thats all it needs

        Its done now.

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 13 days ago
