The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 9

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 9, and for once a standard Saturday deadline of 11:00 GMT.

To say it’s been a rollercoaster of an international break would be an understatement. Injuries coupled with coronavirus (COVID-19) is not a pleasant cocktail for Fantasy managers. Whatsmore, we are approaching a crossroads in the season with fixture swings encouraging many to play their Wildcards.

To help you with your crucial transfer and armband decisions, this Gameweek Guide will summarise the latest news from a turbulent couple of weeks.

The all-important Team News: Neale brought us the latest in his two round-up articles; one from Friday’s press conferences and one from Thursday’s. Further details can be found in his notes on each club along with his Predicted Line-ups.

Neale has also put together a comprehensive list of minutes played over the international break, along with the journeys undertaken by those playing abroad. Brazilian Thiago Silva (£5.5m) looks set to miss Gameweek 9 as a result of his late return.

Sell Salah?

The most expensive player in FPL contracted COVID-19 during the international break, leaving owners in quandary. For Career Hall of Fame No 1, Fábio Borges, the decision to sell or keep will partly depend on how long Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) is ruled out for:

I seriously doubt It’s worth to sell Salah for a hit if he is ruled out for just one Gameweek (which seems the most likely scenario).

– Fábio

The latest from manager Jurgen Klopp suggests everything is in place for Salah to resume training as soon as he tests negative for COVID-19:

Although whether he’ll be ready to face Brighton in Gameweek 10 – Liverpool play at 12:30 GMT on Saturday – is anyone’s guess. And any indication of a longer absence will spark further sales: the Egyptian is already the most-sold player ahead of the deadline.

Sadio Mané (£12.1m) could temp managers as a replacement, Pro Pundit Holly pointed out that the Senegalse has underperformed in recent matches:

Sadio Mané has just one goal in the last four Gameweeks, coming from four big chances. It is unusual for Liverpool’s winger to be so poor in his conversions and you would expect a big improvement going forward.

– Holly

However Holly does mention that Salah is superior for shots, shots on target and shots inside the box – almost doubling Mané’s tallies across the board. So when fit, the Egyptian would appear the better option.

Moving to Manchester

Some managers may consider moving early on Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) while Bruno Fernandes (£10.6m) currently tops this week’s captain poll. 

Both Manchester clubs feature in the ‘strong’ section of teams with the best upcoming fixtures.

Getting De Bruyne is perhaps a week too soon given that City travel to Tottenham Hotspur, although many on Wildcards are including the Belgian in their XV’s. But following their trip to London, Pep’s troops enjoy an excellent run starting with home matches against Burnley in Gameweek 10 and Fulham in Gameweek 11.

Pro Pundit Az researched De Bruyne’s record against the relegated teams last season:

In the four games he played against the last season’s doomed teams, De Bruyne produced three goals and four assists. A great return. City won all of these encounters convincingly, with the 8-0 rout at home to Watford probably their highlight of the campaign.

– Az

As our Tom Selleck look alike then pointed out, Fulham and West Brom (City’s opponents in Gameweek 13) are yet to keep a shut-out on the road, displaying some mid-table defensive statistics. They appear ripe for Manchester City to rediscover their attacking mojo – and chief creator De Bruyne will doubtless be involved.

But facing West Brom this Gameweek has made Bruno Fernandes the most-bought player, with just under 700,000 acquiring the Portuguese at the time of writing.  

Fernandes currently sits in both the Wildcard teams of Pro Pundit Zophar and Simon March.

Over the course of the season, Fernandes is joint second with De Bruyne for chances created (20). And form is on his side, as moustachioed Az revealed:

What is interesting here is that despite creating the same number of chances as De Bruyne, Fernandes has fashioned the majority of chances for players in the last two games (12), putting up just eight opportunities in the six games prior to this weekend. 

This suggests that Fernandes is growing in importance in the United attack and we could see him becoming even more instrumental in all the good things that the Red Devils do in the coming weeks.

– Az

But there are other options to consider from Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team, Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) has caught the attention of both Holly and Lateriser:

Marcus Rashford has had 14 shots between Gameweeks 5 and 8, despite delivering just one goal from two big chances. He also ranks highly for shots on target (six) and shots in the box (eight): he should present an intriguing option as Manchester United finally find some form.

– Holly

While Lateriser looked to a tactical shift that could benefit the FPL midfielder.

With Luke Shaw (£4.9m) out with a hamstring injury, Alex Telles (£5.5m) is set to return to the left-back slot following a bout of illness. This could dampen the prospects for Bruno, as he likely won’t be on all set pieces, and Telles is a lot more attacking which will allow Rashford to make more runs inside.

According to our upside-chasing Pro Pundit, the double pivot used by Manchester United in recent matches makes them better defensively, which in turn means Telles can hold the width on the left. Therefore Rashford is going to be playing further forward than Fernandes and making more central runs.

Both players featured in the Captain Sensible article for Gameweek 9.

But given top billing by Jan Sienkiewicz were Chelsea duo Timo Werner (£9.4m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.2m).

Werner is included for his goal threat while Ziyech offers assist potential:

Over the last four Gameweeks, only Patrick Bamford (4.22) and Jamie Vardy (2.12) have recorded a superior figure for expected goals (xG) non penalty than Werner (2.08), remembering, of course, that he now takes the spot-kicks too; Since his debut in Gameweek 7 no player has created more big chances than Ziyech, helping him lead the Premier League for expected assists (xA), with a score of 1.10.

– Jan

Our double-points maestro noticed weaknesses in the Newcastle defence that could suit both Chelsea players – they have given up more chances down their right flank than any other side (22), while only Crystal Palace (37) and Sheffield United (33) have conceded more attempts from set plays in 2020/21 than Newcastle (32).

But, as ever in FPL, we are rarely free of all doubt. Describing Newcastle as a “head-scratcher”, Holly pointed out:

They’ve conceded the most goal attempts (74) in the whole Premier League, but are second-lowest for big chances conceded with three. They are frustrating attacks who are then producing low quality attempts.

– Holly

Is this enough to put you off captaining a Chelsea player? Not for “closet Chelsea fanLateriser, who currently has the armband on Werner.

However, there are a number of other armband candidates to consider. One player given just a brief mention in Jan’s article was Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m).

David, no stranger to captain success himself, highlighted the potential for Everton’s number 9 against a suspect Fulham defence in the Captaincy Video:

In the last four matches Fulham’s expected goals conceded is 6.01, which is the fourth worst in the league – they’ve only actually conceded four goals which means they’re over performing against their xGC: they should have conceded two more goals than they did.

And then if we go into the specifics of where these chances are getting conceded for Fulham, in that period they conceded 14 headed attempts which is actually the joint most in the league. So when you consider what Calvert-Lewin is best at – which is his aerial presence – it does seem like quite a nice matchup.

– David

Quite a nice matchup indeed. Pro Pundit Az went as far as calling Calvert-Lewin the “outstanding captaincy choice this week”.

Value Villains

Top of the season ticker for the next six Gameweeks, Aston Villa not only supply an armband option of their own in the shape of Jack Grealish (£7.5m), but also offer excellent value across their attack.

Picked out by Seb as his differential on the Scoutcast, Ross Barkley (£6.0m) could be an excellent complement to Grealish. The former Evertonian has been posting impressive underlying numbers. Writing in the Scout Notes for the Villa’s win over Arsenal David noted:

Barkley is putting that advanced presence to good use too. In the last four matches, no Premier League player has played more key passes than him.

– David

Pro Pundit Fábio Borges is even considering an attacking triple up, having added Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) over the international break to join Grealish in his squad.

Zophar debated Watkins v Patrick Bamford (£6.1m) on his Wildcard, favouring the Villa player given the fixtures. 

However, speaking on the FPL Wire, Lateriser questioned whether fixtures mattered for Bamford given that his impressive stats were put together despite playing against Manchester City and Liverpool. He suggested Bamford could be the better long term option. 

Comparing Bamford to Watkins and Che Adams (£5.9m), Holly explained what all the fuss is about:

Delving into the underlying statistics, Bamford is top among all players for big chances (seven) [over the last four Gameweeks] … He’s also the most impressive of the trio in terms of shots (18), shots on target (eight) and shots inside the box (16), posting the leading tallies of any player once again.

– Holly

With so many good players pushing for a place in our teams, sacrifices will have to be made. As Sam Bonfield concluded in her latest piece:

It is impossible to own everyone – but it is possible to set your team to return as many potential FPL points as possible by carefully distributing our FPL budget across the field.

– Sam

    Am I crazy to be considering Kane to Vardy for a -4?

    I already own Son

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe do it next week, not worth a -4

    2. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Which midfielders do you have?

    3. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane has 15 returns in 8 gameweeks.

    4. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not this week surely

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in the same position, and can't justify the -4.
      Let's escalate how spurs play. If they are title contenders then they will be winning these tough games.
      If they are lose, i'll reevaluate for next week

    6. Boyd to Sven
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I sold Kane and Son for Vardy and Bruno for -4. Is it a risk? Yes. But the potential rewards over the next few are huge if people are sleeping on it.

  2. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    WC nearly complete... anything alarming that I’ve missed? Or gtg?

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Cancelo Targett
    Fernandes(C) Mane(VC) Ziyech Grealish
    Vardy DCL Watkins

    Forster; Coufal Bissouma N.Williams

    1. beanz87
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Very good, have the same set up but Kilman instead of Williams

      1. boroie
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Would love to be able to do that but I’ve run out of money because I want enough left over to be able to switch Fernandes for KDB/Sterling next week

  3. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Justin or Coufal on WC?

    1. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal

    2. RedGunPowder
      • 12 Years

      Coufal

      1. J to the T
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. The Fulham fixture for Justin appeals

  4. FPL_WILDCARD
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech or Rashford for captain?

    1. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ziyech. But only because Rashford is still a slight doubt.

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford but he's still flagged is he fit?

  5. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have wanted to get rid of Foden for 3 weeks now. And yet again it looks like he will survive.

    I just don't see who to replace him with that's obvious.

    A) Jota
    B) Torres
    C) Rodriguez
    D) Zaha

    All options but I don't want to commit to any of them and kind of want it to be a City player next week - one of Torres or Foden himself. Should I just make a decision and pick one now? Or wait another week...

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd get Hamez.
      Next 3 games look fairly easy and with Richarlison back, we can expect Everton to perform similar to the starting weeks.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I didn't like his underlying stats last time he played. Some uncertainty imo.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A and D could be short term options, Torres isn't probably any different compared to him. Anything else you can do? Save ft?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly... I end up just postponing it endlessly and not actually replacing him because there are always other fires lol.

        I have 0FTs this week. So getting any of them would be for a hit.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Zaha? Nailed, pens, OOP, good form and fixtures.

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

  6. RedGunPowder
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ward prowse or fornals to own, i am on WC?

    1. Boyd to Sven
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like either. Seems much better midfield options out there to me.

  7. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    On wildcard:
    Thoughts?

    Martinez
    James - Van Aanholt - Cancelo - Justin - Neco Williams
    Grealish - Ziyech - KDB - Fernandes - Mane
    DCL - Watkins - Brewster

    0m itb.

    Could do:
    A) Chilwell & Targett for
    B) James & Van Aanholt?

    1. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t think you can do that as you’d have 4 Villa players

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Love the PVA pick - I think he will score the overwhelming favourite in that price bracket Cancelo over the next 3.

      If you're not set on Cancelo, you could do Cancelo - - > Chilwell, James - - > Cresswell, Justin - - - > Kilman/Lewis? Unless you are 0.1 short? 🙁

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        1. Utopsis
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough - good luck!

    This is how my WC team is currently looking... would really appreciate any advice...

      Yes

  13. Il Capitano

    One last once-over before it all starts. On a -4. Bench order and (C) GTG?

    McCarthy (Button)

      Oh dear. I don't have two sets of subs, whoops

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        With those subs even one set is too much.

      2. Indio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nice to see the subs are keen 😉 GTG, nice team - but maybe an argument for Mitchell ahead of Justin fixture-wise in case he plays, unless you're fearing a cameo from the Palace man?

    Boring wildcard question:

    Is getting Kilman over 3.9 non-playing defender worth it? I can make the team I want either way but the 0.4 saving could come in handy in future, for example when getting Salah back. If I get Kilman I might start him this gw but after that he is just bench fodder.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Get Phillips instead for 4m should play alot

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Should hardly play at all. Fabinho and matip first choice pairing. Rhys ahead of Nat too but eufa squad

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Rhys will play UCL and Phillips league. Fab and Matip aren't even fully fit no way can they sustain 2 games a week till Jan

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            So in your opinion one of Rhys or Nat will play every game? Klopp will not use his best CB pairing together?

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              He knows he can't when neither have stringed together 2 games a week for that long. Both aren't fully fit and are injury prone. Fixture congestion is key. They just a host of players to injury from too many games including Gomez and TAA

              1. Get up ya bum
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Fabinho has had two injuries at Liverpool. Aside from that he's an ever present regularly plays two games a week. Matip yeah he's dicey

                1. Dr Van Nostrand
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  So obviously Matip can't and won't play 14 games between now and Jan. Fab rarely played twice a week after his last injury he won't be able to in this crazy stretch of games either. Especially with LFC players dropping like flies

      2. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not that keen to fill a Liverpool slot with a bench fodder.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He won't be bench fodder but suit yourself. You'll all see come Sunday night

          1. jg7u
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            No I mean he would be bench fodder in my team.

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Fair enough I wouldn't want any other Pool beyond Salah anyways now

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rotation of any sort has never really worked for me.
      I'd prefer 3.9 non playing player with 0.4 to strengthen the starting 11

      1. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's more of a being safe with covid etc. rather than rotation. The one I get will be sitting on the bench pretty much every week.

    3. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not boring at all! Given the problems/potential for surprises this season, I'd get Kilman over cash ITB.

      1. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    Any news on C Wilson? Is it worth Vardy to Wilson for a hit?

    1. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy to Wilson? No
        Wilson to vardy could pay off in the next 4

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry I mean Wilson to Vardy

    2. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How would you fix the team below please?

      1. Salah > KDB; reassess next week
      2. Salah > Ziyech; then Son and Kane > KDB and Vardy next week
      3. Something else, maybe without KDB?

      Martinez

        I'd suggest to focus on this week. You can get the other one regardless as you're downgrading.
        Do you want KdB or Ziyech this week?

          3 years, 4 months ago

          Good call, leaning to Ziyech on that criteria (or even Hamez, which makes it even more confusing!). Thanks for feedback.

      Honestly cannot order my bench

      Mitchell (bur), Brewster (WHU), Justin (liv)

      1. J to the T
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Justin Brewster Mitchell

        B,M,J

    6. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is this transfer worth doing for -4?

      Son >> Ziyech also have Kane
      Or
      Hold this week

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I was going do that but then did Salah to Ziyech instead. Son has scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 8 against city apparently

    7. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Castagne or Cresswell on wc? (I can bench castagne this week and play souchek)

        1. Jamb0
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Leaning towards Castagne.. both nice picks

          1. Vlekz
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Would you play him over souchek this week?

              1. Jamb0
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                I would play Soucek

          2. Hiddenpaw
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I prefer Castange

            RP- Vassilev to Watkins worth a -4 to play 343? or stick with 442 for now?

            Martinez
            Chilwell Taylor Cancelo Justin

            1. Stockport Hatter
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I’d stick 442

          4. Bishopool
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            If you had JRod and Jota, who will play and which one first-benched?

              Someone else ideally?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years

              Surely you can bench someone else?

            4. Indio
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I think this week especially, you have to look outside of those two for someone to bench.

            5. Bishopool
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

            Watkins and DCL my other two fwds

            1. Hiddenpaw
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Vardy

            2. Jamb0
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Party time

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Vardy

          11. Hiddenpaw
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Anyone else captaining Ziyech out there who had Fernandes in their team?

            1. Mambino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              It's too risky for me. I think Bruno will score heavily today

              1. Hiddenpaw
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                I might buckle and captain Fernandes ... id be so annoyed though if my gut was right with Ziyech!

            2. Jamb0
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              It's bold but he's in great form, could work out great
