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

  2. AzzaroMax99

    I need to do something with my squad.

    Lukaku --> Aguero (-4)
    or
    Bavies --> Trippier (-4)

    Which thing is more urgent?

    1. SilverSpurs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't buy Trippier. He's rotation bound as well as Davies. If you want to have Spurs defence covered than Alderweireld or Vertonghen are the way to go.

    2. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why are they urgent moves? None of them imo

    Shocker of a week.... less than 50 pointers feel free to have a moan here

    1. Point-one short

      Yeah, shite week. 44. Bring on next week.

    davies to ............. 😕

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier or Otamendi

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier, Daniels, Ward...

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Otamendi, a Burnley def or a watford one

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What about Stones? Can't afford Ota myself

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          More rotation prone when Kompany is back but will Kompany ever be back for a prolonged period of time. For now it looks worth it, plus we never know who Pep will drop next, it's not as if Stones has been poor

    4. Clump
      • 11 Years

      The gallows?

  5. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    9 men this gw and I've had enough. If there ever was a justifiable -20 (not joking) this is it. Dare I say it I could make my points back and more.

    Out: Davies, Clark (both have to go anyway -8), Coupo, Sterling, Vardy

    In: Otamendi, Femenia, Richarlison, Hazard and Okazaki, all have good fixtures and more importantly all are playing

    Justifiable madness?

    1. soup natsi
      • 11 Years

      Log out now

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Feels stupid to me. Expect Davies, Sterling to play next week. Vardy and Choupo have goals in them.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No! Just do Bavies to Otamendi.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Can't unfortunately

    4. willl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If you can't take a rest once in a while don't buy any City attacker.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Less about not being able to take a rest and more about having few viable replacements for Davies with 3 City attackers

        1. willl
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, I would give Bavies one more week, Man U will play like they did vs. Liverpool.

          1. We Will Klopp you

      You're nuts.

      I very much hope that you will desist.

      Calm down, have a look at the ticker - or mine, if you like - and see where the Season is headed.

    6. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No reason to lose Sterling if he doesn't play midweek or Vardy, who faces the utter shite of Everton next week. There's 8 points you can save.

      Davies to Otamendi looks solid.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The Sterling one is enforced if I want Otamendi, otherwise have to look for another def

    7. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cool down. Think about future prospects rather than current loses, Davies is definitely not a "must go". Sterling out? Madness dude.

      Leave it alone and come back to it on Wednesday

      1. We Will Klopp you

      Well. You rather not take more than -24ish for the whole season. But remember the its a marathon not a sprint thing. Sterling was Sterling last week, and will be again. Same with Davis and Vardy. Dont be rash, no need to burn down the house to kill a bug..

      it's sooo 2 gameweeks ago 🙂

    3. LosBlancos

      I have all three...

    4. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well Bavies has been a brilliant pick to this point, the other 2 less so

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Had enough of alonso but maybe one more week....

    6. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso's been poor value with 3.8 PPG, but 8.2 and 4.6 aren't disasters for the other 2. Plus you get autosubs if you don't play. Bavies was never nailed. That was part of the deal. I'd be much worst off if I didn't start with him GW1.

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Actually Kola's is a bit less than 4.6. Still more than Ritchie, for example

  7. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I don't assume anyone jumping on any Arsenal bandwagon.

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This has to be some sort of record.
    Took a minus 4 for three players.
    Sterling 0
    Moreno 0
    Morata 1

    Even for me that is laughable.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I did the same and captained Morata so stop complaining.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.

      thats a bad joke to laugh. :weep:

    No knee jerking, im keeping Bavies and Sterling... and Kaku and and Morata. 😮

    Managed 43 points this week, but need to vent for a second.

    Played the Free Hit chip:
    Monreal, Kane, Richarlison out this week for Cresswell, Sterling and Aguero. Would have had 3 more goals and an assist without the chip.

    1. jdp219

      Me no smrt

        Worst thing I’ve ever done in FPL. Didn’t seem so bad on paper. I’d be first in my ML right now.

      BBC saying cramp.

  14. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So after last week Kane being a waste of money , can't score at Wembley balls is he now flavour of the month ?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I had him as captain last week. I had him as captain this week. The problem with Kane is he is not a predictable goalscorer. He can score a hat-trick against Chelsea and blank against Swansea. Contrast that to Lukaku who will almost certainly blank against Chelsea, but score against Swansea.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      it seems so

  18. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years

    Davies, clark and sterling not playing gives me 15 points off the bench...but means my team needs some major work

  19. Pirlø's Pen

    Mkhi, Jesus -> Aguero, Salah (-4)

    Does this look like a fairly sensible hit?

      Not sure about Kun.

    Potential wildcard team, 1.5m left. Thoughts please?

    Pope, Elliot
    Ota, Moreno, Monreal, VVD, Daniels
    Sane, Richarlison, Surman, Salah, Sterling
    Diouf, Kane, Morata

    Cheers all.

    1. The Red Devil

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very knee-jerky IMO.

      Pope - Elliot
      Otamendi - Azpi - Trippier - Duffy - Naughton
      Sane - Richarlison - Sterling - Salah - Carroll
      Kane - Morata - ?????

      ????? whoever you can afford.

      Rotate Pope and Elliot
      Rotate Duffy and Naughton.
      Bench Carroll
      Bench your third striker.

    Worth a -4

    Choupo, Alonso and Davies ----> Salah, Daniels and RLC/Carroll/4.4def

    Would give me this team:

    De Gea
    Otemendi - Danies - Ward
    Silva - Sterling - Salah - RLC/Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy
