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

    Well my Kaptain saved my gameweek πŸ™‚ otherwise pretty rubbish!

    Would appreciate some advice on what to do next with this lot:

    Elliot
    Alonso | Jones | Davies
    Coutinho | Sterling | Groß | RLC
    Kane | Aguero | Jesus

    Foster | T.Carroll | Mariappa | Tuanzebe

    Thanks

      Luckily your front 7 is ok, I’d probably get Jones out first if injured, Bavies if he isn’t.

          Not with those fixtures... he's not going to score every week. Arenal can't seem to keep a CS right now.

      Ive captained him every week thus far because i decidee to never change it, changed it to jesus this week. How bout that?

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years

      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lucky?

      Stick the armband on Kane every week and you cannot fail.

      I've had 77x2 = 154 points from my captain so far this season - that's over 19 per game (Had Lukaku for Gw1 and 2)

              Anything above 50 is a good week imo most weeks, especially this week considering many Jesus (C)

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            In terms of hits - it seems like people have views on them based on position as well as the individual in question. I get that it's completely worth it when it's a striker or a midfielder in form, with a better fixture. But when it comes to defenders sold for hits, is it a bad use of a transfer? For example a lot of people may be considering selling Bavies. If you're unfortunate like me and you have other pressing issues, your Bavies transfer (if you do it) will have to be for a hit. Is it a terrible idea though? If I do Bavies > Otamendi, I have to hope for a CS to even break even.

              It's not GW38.

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                What does that even mean?

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

              You don't think Bavies will be back next week?

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

                5.8 is too much to spend on uncertain defenders.

                1. The Royal Robin
                  • 10 Years

              I think you have to look forward more than just the 1 game. Will the player you take a hit for earn more points over the next 2-3 games, than if you hold your current one?

              1. A Team Of James McCleans
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                But you could wait a week and use a ft

            4. Sharkytect
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              No its fine, it's just when people do a hit for a "preferred" defender rather than a necessary transfer. Also stage of the season makes a difference

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            wouah was hoping for a few points from this spurs liverpool game but didnt expect 42 !!! (after bonus)

            Would appreciate some thoughts on transfers. How is this looking ?

            Elliot ( Foster )

            Kolasinac - Maguirre - Davies ? ( Cresswell ?, Clark ? )

            Hazard ? - Sterling ? - Ritchie - Carroll ( Chalobah ?)

            Kane - Jesus ? - Vardy ?
