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

    Assuming kane and Jones are fit what are your transfer plans this wk guys?

    Mine was
    Antonio âž¡ Salah

    May need to reconsider tho.

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

      Do it.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is Jones really fit? Lot depends on this.

    3. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

  3. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Please RWCT :

    Fabianski / Elliot
    Otamendi / Azpi / Maguire / Duffy / Mee
    Salah / D.Silva / Coutinho / Richarlison / Romeu
    Kane / Morata / Diouf

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      7/10

      Don't need Salah and Coutinho. And Diouf a poor 3rd striker imho.

      I'd play 433 instead of 442

  4. Cornholi0
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you sell Sterling or Silva?

    Got Silva for 8.1 and bought Sterling before this gw.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd consider Sterling

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

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

      Ideally wouldn't lose either but Sterling for the lack of nailedness if I had to, why do you need to lose one?

      1. Cornholi0
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I need Coutinho or Salah. Would you rather sell Alli?

        1. GREENDREAMS11
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking of losing Alli for Salah myself

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

          If you have Kane, yes

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

    Team GTG for next week?

    Elliott (Fabianski)
    Davies Ward *Duffy (Jones Rosenoir)
    Salah Silva Sterling Choupo (Chalobah)
    Kane *(A)guero Vardy

    Moves: Lukaku to Kun (already done) and Clark to Duffy for a hit, 0.5m itb to upgrade Rosenoir next gw.

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah (C) surely

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

        Captaining Liverpool players usually doesn't go well for me, if Kun starts in the cup I'll give it strong consideration though

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, GL m8

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

            Cheers, good luck to you too mate

  6. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know when Kompany might return as thinking of doing Davies to Otamendi/Stones

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't worry to much about Kompany probably going to get injured as soon as he's back anyway. He's not even that good anymore. Get Otta.

  7. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Captain choice next week is going to be very difficult. Fact I'm considering Richarlison and Firmino says it all

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah?

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        just go kane

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Man utd bus will be tough to crack

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

        Don't have him

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus will return. Easy.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thats my current choice
        Need to hop he gets rested midweek

    3. KingoftheRunts
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've got the armband strapped firmly on richarlison at the moment

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It's very tempting. Don't normally do cheap captains or mids that often but he's hard to ignore

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Morata for me but Richarlison could be worth a punt

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        you think he starts ?

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

    Time for Eriksen go for Salah?

    1. Ginola14
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      get both

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Im doing it

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. CFC96
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have both, couldnt bring myself to out one for a city mid

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

        Yeah.Have Silva and Sterling.Who would you ditch?

        1. CFC96
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling personally, he will go big now and again but points level out when he misses games, Silva should provide a steady stream of points as him and kdb seem immune to rotation

    5. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking hard about it too

  9. KingoftheRunts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hi everyone. My defence is a mess:

    Stones, Jones, Cresswell, Lowe, Gamez

    I've already used my free transfer (Tadic was falling tonight and Richarlison risign so thought id save the 0.2).

    Worth taking a hit? and if so, who?

    Thanks very much

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      daniels maybe worth a hit great fixtures

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

      If Jones is fit could probs get away with it for a week

  10. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Liverpool attacker a must in coming days?

    Should one of Alli/eriksen leave ?

    What to do with davies?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Salah, Cout or both 😉

  11. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Ward a better option than Tarkowski?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Assist/goal potential

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

      More attacking potential and more baps so far

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Awesome, thanks for the info

  12. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you wildcard this team?
    Foster
    Davies, Jones, Cedric
    Sterling, Eriksen, Salah, Ritchie
    Kane, Lukaku, Abraham
    Sub: Elliot, Naughton, T.Carroll, Long

    1 FT and 0.5 ITB

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

      no

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

      No, strong nucleus, can easily be tweaked, I'd consider Kaku to Kun once you have Jones news

  13. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero best (C) option next week?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if he starts 🙂

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

        Do you see him being benched?

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          who knows besides pep

    2. Dokdok666

    Kane's Wembley problem in a nutshell.

    Spurs crossing the ball a lot more at Wembley than at White Hart Lane last season (due to the bigger pitch).

    More of Kane's goal attempts at home are headed attempts, way up on last season.

    He scored hardly any goals with his head at home last season.

    Plus the BIG chances have dried up at Wembley. He is getting lower quality chances, which suggests smaller teams are raising their game when they play at Wembley for the first time.

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fundamentally comes down to the teams sitting back, Pool got destroyed because they didn't.

    2. Ginola14
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      kanes Wembley problem...............2 goals 1 assist

      1. Dokdok666
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Have you already forgot that it was widely considered to be a problem, before this GW?

  15. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso to Moreno a decent punt? Started last 4 and 7/9 great fixtures and attacking potential.

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

      The problem with Liverpool defence is that they inexplicably have days like today.

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        what will you do with the surplus?

      2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not against Huddersfield et al I expect

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Having watched Liverpool defend today, no.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Playing one of the most exciting attacking teams...Unlike their upcoming fixtures lol

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

          We're perfectly capable of throwing away cleanies vs teams with a poor attack too

  16. CFC96
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    moving back to 343, bavies and RLC for gross and kiko or gross and duffy? filled up on the other cheap defenders worth having

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

      Always 3-4-3 for me and never a defender over 5 mil unless absolutely essential...

  17. The White Pele
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    should i keep Vardy VS everton ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What's the alternative?

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        firmino probably

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am. If he fails then dropping down to 3rd cheapie forward with Sanchez coming in perhaps.

    4. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If Koeman is still there, definitely.

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Already done Kaku to Aguero, Despite the European game Aguero is going to get minutes against WBA he isn't going to play in the League Cup then be rested until the following Tues/Weds that makes no sense.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why does it make no sense?

    2. Foozeball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could play in league cup game if Guardiola wants to help Aguero get the goalscoring record at home

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

      Aguero will play league cup. Get 30 mins against WBA.
      Jesus will be rested league cup. Get 60 mins against WBA.
      Both Aguero and Jesus will play against Napoli.

    4. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years

      Lol at people thinking they know.

  19. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Eriksen > Hazard for a hit? Will be WCing GW11 so can always bring him back, but don’t see Eriksen getting anything at Old Trafford.

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

      If Jones and Bailly fail to recover in time United are up for a treat. keep Eriksen imo

  20. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best def 5.5m or under? Not Saints.

    1. Scout Pics

      Mee

  21. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How many hits does this team need?

    Fabianski, Elliott
    Otamendi, VVD, Cresswell, Mee, Dunk
    Sterling, Hazard, Choupo-Moting, Brady*, RLC
    Jesus, Abraham, Kane

    3.6 itb 1FT

    This week I was going Brady > Coutinho or Salah

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

      No hit, make the transfer...

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, would you go Salah or Cout?

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

          Salah

      2. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        My other choice was Abraham > Firmino + Brady > Richarlison

    2. Dokdok666
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zero, just do the transfer you outlined

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, would you go Salah or Cout

        1. Dokdok666
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Salah, his stats are quite insane

  22. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino bad choice for next two GWs?

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

      Not as a third striker

    2. Dokdok666
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      His stats suggests he is always a bad choice

    3. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He could do well v Hud

    4. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      HUD whu SOT

      I'm not selling put it that way

  23. Nidhalho
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    should I take a hit for these transfers?
    Aguero in Lukaku out
    Otamendi in Jones out

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jones might be ok

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

        he has Spurs and Chelsea next though

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mourinho is the bus driver pal

    What's the average?

      1. Ode

        Does that include autosubs?

          Welcome to final results for GW 9. The stats include confirmed bonus points as below.

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

            Bonus points =/= to autosubs...

            1. Dokdok666
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              "Average Points for Autosubs (incl. VC) 2.2 2.7"

              They are included in the calculation

  25. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    my 4 transfers for a total of -8 pts boils down to which one do I get of cout or salah and whether to keep or ditch eriksen

  26. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Praying Jones is our next week! Rout

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

    A good WC for the next few weeks IMO:

    Pope - Elliot
    Azpilicueta - Otamendi - Trippier - Duffy - Naughton
    Sterling - Salah - Carroll - Eriksen - Richarlison
    Kane - Jesus - 4.5m

  28. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Davies + Jesus or Aguero + Kiko?

  29. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights

    On team on my ML had 12 pts from 8 yesterday...Kane (c) Alli and Trippier today :vomit:

    What's the consensus on bavies? Is anyone keeping him? Cheers

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

      I feel the rotation risk is a little exaggerated, as he only missed one game due to rotation. Other two are because of illness (he's only just recovered and was therefore not fit enough to start today).
      He's in the form of his life right now, so the LB spot is his to lose as long as he's healthy
      That said, I may get rid of him anyways for the next couple weeks because Crystal Palace at home is a prime fixture to rotate, especially right after a big game with RM :/
