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

      I'm keeping Kolasinac for Swansea, but dont know what to do with the FTs.
      I'd keep Alli in order not to lose anymore value if he starts rjsing(BV 9.5 CV 9.3)
      Alonso>Otamendi may be a 1 week change if nothing else pops up

        Free Hit chip:
        Monreal, Kane, Richarlison out; Cresswell, Sterling and Aguero in = Missing out on 3 goals and 2 assists.

        Can’t even watch highlights right now.

      What should I do here - it's a huge mess.
      Thinking downgrade Jones and Davies for a -4 leaving
      Enough for Jesus to Kun if required the week after.
      Any other ideas more than welcome. Thanks.

        Davies to Otamendi

          Thanks very good calls - solves the pool attack problem too. If Jones looks ok could be great.
          Thanks - much appreciated. You can stare at something for ever and not see the obvious option 🙂
          I just got Sterling in but whatever.

    • Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How does Salah manage to be sooo bad at BPS?

      I know he misses a lot but today he's scored and still finished behind Matip who's conceded 4 goals

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He got 1 bos

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

          Lost it I heard

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

            That just don't make sense. How does Matip score higher, I don't care how many tackles he made, he shipped 4 goals

      2. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          bps aren't lost for conceding goals per se.

        Suggestions pls, for the third City player
        A. Bavies -> Otamendi, OR
        B. Kaku -> Aguero?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years

          B

        2. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I think both + a midfielder is the optimum.

      4. HNI
        • 12 Years

        Will take that in heart beat with davies sterlin no show and jones injured midway

      5. seewhyaxe
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        average is 48?

        i got Clark, Davies, Sterling and Jesus out of my starting 11.

            No, do you know what happened ?

            I was advised here he is Rafa favourite...

      6. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I want Aguero back but what is most urgent here?

        Gomes Elliot
        Davies Jones Mee (Naughton 4.0)
        Sterling Silva Ritchie Atsu (Carroll)
        Lukaku Kane Vardy
        £3.2m

        Sterling + Davies to Salah + Otamendi for -4?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Straight away I would say a double Newcastle m is a bad move.

          1. Hulk Smash
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ritchie and Elliot were my 2nd and 3rd highest scorers this week!

        Best 4.5 m defenders to get in

        A Kiko Feminia
        B Duffy
        C Moreno
        D Any one else?

        1. Stinglikeabee

            • 8 Years

            Well it’s a big change to my team which involves switching from 343 to 352. Taking out Jesus, kaku and carrick for salah, Aguero and beach fodder.

      11. Gudjohnsen

      13. LIARS POKER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Worth keeping Azpi?

        I know he's pricey and Chelsea look poor but they've still got great fixtures for the next 20 and he's already got 4 assists and goal in the first 9 games.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I was going swap him in for Alonso, so I still think he's a good option. However, given the fact I am now definitely keeping Kane, I can't afford him, plus my other picks.

          Absolutely love Dave, but I can also see the logic in shipping him for a few weeks until Kanté is back. I can definitely see Chelsea conceding in each of the next four (yes, even at West Brom).

          Once those few pass, I think Chelsea defenders become a lot more attractive as Kante will also be back. Still I reckon Chelsea could maul Bournemouth next week & Azpi may very well be involved.

      14. nkhoughton

        Who to sell this week Jones, Davies

      15. emodabi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Erikssen + Abraham > Augero + Bakayko with -4

        Any advice here please?

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

          I have Jesus already

      16. JRO093
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sold Kane, Kaku, Lacazette, Sane and Alli on my wild card, which was a rash Friday decision (was planning to wait for next international break). Got 38 points. Absolutely gutted. Not sure I’ll recover any time soon. Just feel like quitting.

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          What's your team now? It could still be good long term as Kane is the only one I'd label essential out of that lot.

          1. Patch
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Based on his number of points, I am guessing Naughton, Ward, Abraham's, Aguero, Jesus, Sterling, Jones, Bavies, Erickson

            1. Patch
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

            I don’t disagree - I really can’t explain why I’ve sold Kane and Kaku who I’ve had since gw 1 and would always advise people to keep. I got ram ally caught up in the hype re man city assets which is not like me but there you go.

            WC team is:

            Elliott, Hart
            Jones, Daniels, Cedric, Dunk, Ward

            Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Moting,

          If you are quitting FPL altogether then go ahead but if you're planning to come back next season just remember, this season's rank will ALWAYS remain in your history..

            I am not actually quitting... just very very frustrated. Wasn’t having a great season OR 250k or so but not bad either, for me and I just feel like one poor decision has cost so so dearly. Not really one decision but one poor WC
