Mark Sutherns is back alongside Andy North for another Premium Members-only chat to kick off Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 9.

The video is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark is recording for our subscribers every Gameweek throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see his regular appearances.

This week’s episode focuses on the biggest development of the week in Romelu Lukaku‘s (£11.6m) injury, discussing the best replacements for the Belgian as well as the points potential of Kai Havertz (£8.1m) when neither Lukaku or Timo Werner (£8.6m) are available.

Additionally, the pair talk about the emotional rollercoaster of owning a Chelsea defender, before they both reveal their Gameweek 9 line-ups.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Alonso dilemma...

    A) Keep and hope he plays
    B) Transfer out for a hit (prob for another Che defender)

    I've no cover since Coufal is injured and Tsimi unlikely to play, so the hit could effectively be a -2 if Alonso doesnt play

        Then transfer alonso out next week for free

      A, because you’ll kick yourself if he starts and hauls

      In these situations I remember that realistically to have a good week I need 3-4 of my players to return well and my captain to do ok, so if I have a couple 1-2 pointers or even a 0 I can still have a good week, that’s just me though

    Last piece of the WC team

    1) Raya, Azpi + bench: Livra, Duffy, Davis and 0.9ITB

    2) McCarthy, TAA + bench: Duffy, Manquilo, Davis and 0.0ITB

    3) Raya, TAA + bench: Duffy, 3.9, Davis and 0.0ITB

    Tempted to go 1) as have pretty strong bench, I take advantage of the immediate Chelsea def fixtures while doubling up Azpi + Chilwell, as well as have that 0.9ITB, which will give me flexibility if needed.

    Thoughts?
