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

    Who are the known bargains? One that provide a decent points stream at low cost.

    Just Richarlison and Burnley def?

    Gomez or Moreno?

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

      You really want Liverpool defence? Probably Moreno.

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

        Fixtures aren't bad for 4.5, not playing against Kane every weekend

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

          Liverpool can concede at any time though, personally wouldn't back them to keep a clean sheet against anyone

    2. # Young Gun SEAMUS #

      better to go for mee or ward ....just see burnley fixtures

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

        Have Mee already

        1. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          then take ward burnley is very good in defence liverpool can concead against huddersfield then they have west ham

  3. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts on what to do here? Main problems seem to be in defence with Davies and Jones.
    Got wildcard but don't think it's needed yet. I'll wait until after midweek anyway.

    Elliott
    Davies - Jones - Naughton
    Richarlison - Salah - Sterling - Alli
    Kane - Lukaku - Abraham

    Foster - Carroll - Francis - Long

    1. # Young Gun SEAMUS #

      What about that battle between Ricardo and Bottas great stuff.

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

        Richardo by far the most aggressive entertaining driver on the grid

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years

          Ah so plenty to clinch it 🙂

  6. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years

    Lukaku & Silva > Aguero & Salah for a -4 hit?

    Or just Salah for free and then bring in Aguero next week?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Do it

      Yes you did lose 4-1 and have no Kane.

  8. Champione
    • 10 Years

    San(c)hez could be a nice little captain diff next week. Performed better away last season though

    1. Galza
      • 8 Years

      All over it....!!

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

    Silva Sterling Jesus owners, what your moves?

    Sterling rested, Silva less rotation risk, so maybe time ti lose Jesus

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just got Jesus but probably holding with a view to getting lukaku in a couple of weeks

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

        You own Silva and Sterling too? I think the Citeh triple honeymoon already over and 3 too risky

    2. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The 3 I've decided to go with are Aguero, Sterling & Otamendi.

      I think Aguero, Sane & Otamendi are the best 3 city players to have IMO.

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

        Then why decide to go with Sterling? Sane is on my radar too. At the end of last season he was one of only two players locked into my 2017-2018 draft. But he's been nowhere near my team since pre-season til this week.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of moving Jesus on for Aguero, waiting til next week though, wee what happens at weekend. Sterling, don't have him, but he seems to be scoring even with limited minutes. I'm still tempted by him. Have Silva, he is going nowhere for the time being.

    4. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No way of knowing... I was really close to doing Sane to Sterling on Friday because everyone was banging on about Sane being rested and Sterling being the go-to guy...

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

      Just brought Silva in as my only City player...
      Not interested in anyone else...
      Game is stressful enough as it is... 🙂

  10. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Frustrating seeing Salah and Kane fall this week. Any chance the reverse-kneejerkers give them a rise before next gameweek?

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

      Definitely

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

        Of course

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why, not going to sell them are you?

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

    If u coild choose 1 player you think is essential to bring in just for next gameweek, who will it be?

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

      Richarlison.

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

        I thought someone will say Alexis. None so far

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

      Salah

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Which ever City forward that doesn't play midweek

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

      I wouldn't bring him in, but De Gea would be good to have. United will make that the most boring game of the season, definite clean sheet.

    5. Scout Pics

      Ramsey

    6. Top 210 Club

    8. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years

      Aguero for me. Wba defence injured

    9. # Young Gun SEAMUS #

      salah or coutinho

  12. diesel001

  13. Pea Soup

    Silva, Alonso & Atsu to Richarlison, Mee & Ozil (-4)...

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep silva, not worth a hit

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

    Tempted to wildcard this lot. I know I had a good GW, but have several players that need getting rid of. Thoughts?

    Foster - Elliot
    Davies, Otamendi, Jones, Cedric, Mee
    Eriksen, Salah, Sterling, Ritchie, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Quaner

    0.1 ITB, 1 FT

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t use it, can do a hit to lose Davies and Ritchie for richarlison and dann or Duffy

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

        Agree

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

        Davies will prolly play next match though. Why get rid of him and not Lukaku or Jones who has two bad games coming up? Jones may be injured as well

    2. gilean

  19. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Think my biggest problem was s not my team, but my captain choices, if i would have always captained my highest scoring player i could have 89 points more than i currently have - might spend less time on transfers now but more time finding right captain

  20. S.Kuqi

    Madness to bring Vardy in for Jesus?

    Leicester next two fixtures looks juicy and I need money to improve defence and third mid.

    1. 2hotty

      I hate vardy with a passion and he is a chav so no

    2. 2hotty

      i mean no dont bring him in and yes its madness

    3. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years

      He could go in against Everton, that's for sure.

    Who's everyone captaining next gameweek?

    A) Salah

    C) Sanchez
    D) Hazard
    E) Kane

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      A

      Own ABE

    2. Ode

      Kun maybe

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

        Between those two for me as well, thing Kun's mins in the cup match might decide it

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

      Aguero or richarlison

    4. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Forgot to take captaincy off Kane this week and it worked out. Might stick with that formula.

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

        Can never go wrong with someone like Kane, but I reckon Mou will park the bus

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    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

    Subs: Elliot - RLC/Carroll - 4.4 def - Mbemba.
