After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Huddersfield will run rampant against them at this rate

        8 years, 2 months ago

        As long as Salah runs riot as well I'm fine with that.

        Lovren better than lindelof

      Was already on it 🙂 Kane (vc)

        Same

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Have made the mistake this week, will always cap (or at least vc) a nailed on starter

      2. CFC96

        im on this now, but wondering whether a mourinho bus without jones as passenger can stop kane

  3. Sánchez

    Stupid salah. My predicted rank just dropped by 30k there

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why? You have the spurs goalie?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No. Just Salah oeners overtaking

        1. Patch
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Ah right got it

    2. The Big Fella

      How do you get a predicted rank?

    3. Chandler Bing

      What app are you using for predicted rank?

  4. HNI

    Many good players suggested me to go for coutinho over salah next week. But isnt he being on penalties and end of coutinho creativity a better option?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If he's on penalties, Salah is the better option. Without them it's stop close to call

    Is the thinking on Trippier changing now, and he is a genuine option at FPL again?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I own him and no, will be rotated constantly

      • Jar Jar Winks
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        their full back position is a mystery

      • Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Think all 4 full backs will share game time. I'll be avoiding once I've binned Davies.
        Clearly trusts Tripp though

      • Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Alder and Vert the way forward

    2. CFC96
      • 8 Years

      so glad i didnt fall into the salah to sterling trend

    4. aluigi76
      • 9 Years

      Brilliant finish from Salah but what a ball from Hendo!

    5. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      son you fool

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully the last time Lovren is ever seen in red

    7. NoKaneNoGain
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      took out salah for sterling this week

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ooops

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        (slow claps)

    8. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Son would be an awesome option if he started week in week out

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. He showed that last season as well.

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ditto on about 10 options this year

      3. Cesc's old mullet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely

    9. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No idea how Son doesn't get more game time. He always does well when he plays. He has done better than Alli has recently.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Imagine the day that Alli gets benched for Son 😯

      Before this game. 24 points.
      Now 48 points. The highs and lows of fantasy football.

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        and the average would have shot up too. sadly

      2. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Its amazing what happens when your players get points...

    12. Cesc's old mullet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy, Hazard, Carroll out for Abraham, Salah, Richarlison for a -4.

      Yay or nay?

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Who is Vardy playing next week?

      3. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Think you need to give Vardy the Everton match.

        1. Cesc's old mullet
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Good point, might just do the Hazard>Salah and Carroll>Richarlison transfers then.

    13. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lovren blocked a Kane shot OMG

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Probably accidental 😉

    14. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1 game saving my GW

    15. HD7
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      But please continue buying and selling Kane the whole season...

    16. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Only salah and kane in this game 🙂

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Same

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry + Eriksen

    17. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lovren off 😯

    18. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What a humiliation for Lovren

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He's injured

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Read an article where he basically takes a ton of painkillers every week just to get through a game. Needs recovery time

        2. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          His pride.

    19. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Davies CS dead

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years

        Davies?

      2. CFC96
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        it was never alive

    20. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Might be time to invest more in midfield

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Salah is my entire midfield.

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He needs to join mine

    21. Guy Demel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Humiliating for Lovren.

    22. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aurier will get a red at this rate

    23. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane and Salah running the shows

    24. CFC96
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Can a mourinho bus with a passenger less Jones keep out kane? or do i captain salah next week

    25. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Back and forth they go!

    26. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Poch's decision to go without a specialist LB is just plain barmy

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe they weren’t fully fit though, Jimmers?
