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

    Any sugestions?

    2FT / £1.2 ITB

    Fabiański / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Otamendi / Cedric / Mee / Dunk
    Coutinho / Sterling / Richarlison / Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Vardy

    Probably looking for replacement for Kola.

  3. @NF_Janner
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Elliot
    Jones, Davies, Otimendi, Ward
    Erikson, Silva, Coutinho
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy

    Fabianski, Memba, Cork, Stephens

    Vardy and Davies need to go. The tranfer in thinking atm is Vardy & Erikson to Morata & Richarlison.

    A ) is that a good transfer? Y/N
    B ) who is the best straight swap for davies? (5.6) & is it worth -4?

  4. KJT123

    Fab Elliot
    Alonso Otamendia Davies Cedric Lowton

    Lukaku > Agureo or hold?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      I would definitely do it

  6. Mattymo23

    Silva or Sane?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sane when playing is a better option but be prepared to be disappointed when he doesn’t start. Silva prob the most nailed player and will get a good share of points. Tough one

  7. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which?

    A) Otamendi / Mee / Dunk / Yedlin / Francis & Surman

    B) Otamendi / Ward / Dunk / Yedlin / Francis & Carroll

    C) Otamendi / Mee / Duffy / Yedlin / Francis & Carroll

      Depends on when kompany is back to be honest. If Jones is nailed then yes that's a good move

    D. Get Monreal - Y/N

    Thanks!

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years

      Duffy if the 0.1 not an issue
      No idea, sorry!
      Coutinho
      N short term I think, but monitor (considering him for BDavies but fixtures are not friendly)

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

      Wouldn't be buying Monreal with City(a) and Spurs(h) on the cards. I'd be selling after Swansea if I owned him, which I don't as have Kolasinac.

    No one is talking about Watford defence? 6th in pl and their defensive stats might be bit misleading cos they have played against Pool, Arsenal, Chelsea and City.

    1. The Wise Owl

      Still conceding

    2. S.Kuqi

  18. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    City mids first, third, fifth and sixth in mids table, all scored over 50pts.
    City strikers second and fifth in their table, both over 48pts.
    Suggests to me that you pick the ones you like then stick. There will also be a few extra pts from autosubs which could boost their tallies even higher for FPL, anyway.
    This week proves that you are just as likely to miss the big hauls trying to second guess Pep.

        Agreed. Wouldn't worry too much about Sterling yet.

  20. SheBangsTheDrums

    8 years, 1 month ago

    How do these moves look for -8?

    Bavies -> Mee
    Silva -> Salah
    Ritchie -> Richarlison
    Lukaku -> Kun

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldnt -8 out ritchie or silva.

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

        I already own Sterling by the way

  21. GS456
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison and Otamendi in for Choupo and Davies for free.

    Looking at either

    Jesus > Aguero

    OR

    Eriksen > Salah for a hit

    Up the mini wildcard.

    1. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes for me.

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        which move haha

        eriksen > salah

        or

        jesus > aguero.

    2. AD2110
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus -> Aguero

      Wouldn’t get rid of Eriksen imo

  22. Captain Haddock

    Should you:

    A) hold your knees
    or
    B) hold your knees?

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

      C) Go crazy with hits, then cry when midweek injuries = more hits

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

      I did a rage -8 the other week on a Sunday night....
      Ended up with 69 points but had to spunk my free hit to do so....
      Be careful.... 😉

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

    Do we expect Jesus to play vs Wolves in mid week and then Aguero vs WBA or vice versa? I mean if Kun starts vs Wolves, does that mean that he won't play at least 30 min vs WBA? I would ship Lukaku for Aguero, maybe even tonight because of price drops. 🙁

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i think it will be.

      Aguero v wolves
      Jesus v WBA
      Aguero v napoli

      Who knows what from there.

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

      Pointless moving now before the Wolves meeting.

      Just wait until after that and after Pep speaks at the press conference.

      I can see him starting Jesus in that game and the CL though, can't you?

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only Pep knows.

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

    Is Firmino about to be dropped after another poor performance in the league?

    Next week may lend itself to Sturridge. I plan to hold on to Sterling and Jesus so it could be even worse than this week if Klopp drops Gok Wan.

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

      I was considering bringing in Firmino for next week, but after Everton shambles v Arsenal am keeping Vardy.

      I also have Sterling and Jesus, but would hope they play - don't think it's as simple as "play midweek = rest at weekend"

      Sturridge hardly grabbed his last league start with both hands and Bobby did play well vs Maribor...

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

        That's true.

        I'll probably hold. I want a goal out of the toothy one before I sell for the last and final time!

  25. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years

    Lukaku to Aguero the safest choice?

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What are Jones and Davies owners doing and what should I do here? My plan was to wildcard in INT break bedåre gw12.
    Would it be insane to go Jones, Davies and Lukaku to Otamendi, 7.0 def and Aguero?

    Forster (Elliot)
    Azpi - Davies - Jones (Suttner - 3.9)
    Salah - Richarlison - Sterling - Ritchie (Carroll)
    Lukaku - Kane - Calvert-Lewin

    1 FT - 1.9 itb

    What to do? WC? All input MUCH

    1. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years

      Appreciated

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 10 Years

      You really need to get rid of Davies as if Jones is out then you have only 1 nailed defender.

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

    Any thoughts?

    2FT / £1.2 ITB

    Fabiański / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Otamendi / Cedric / Mee / Dunk
    Coutinho / Sterling / Richarlison / Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Vardy

  30. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on this team:
    Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Bertrand
    Sterling - Carroll - Eriksen - Salah
    Kane - Lukaku - Chicharito

    Bench: Foster, Hegazi, Mbemba, Chalobah.
    0.5M ITB and 2FT.

    Thinking:
    A: Hegazi, Chalobah, Chicharito --> Mee, Richarlison, Abraham for a hit.
    B: Davies, Eriksen, Chicharito --> Mee, Richarlison, Agüero for a hit.
    C: Other suggestions?

    But honestly I have no idea what to do with this squad. WC used. Would really appreciate some advice!

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you go with Abraham over Aguero? B by a mile.

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

        When you put it like that it sounds easy.. lol.

        It's also a choice whether to get out players like Hegazi and Chalobah, instead of Eriksen and Bavies..

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Hegazi played this weekend, Bavies didn't.
