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.

    Lukaku + Jota to Kane + Havertz(c) for -4?

      4 years, 1 month ago

      I ditched them both for -8 🙁 Decided to try Jesus and Son. My OR is so bad, that even though I am not religous, I decided that only Jesus and The Holy Son can save me 😉

    6. corderz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The exact moves I'm doing but for a -8 because I'm stupid and brought lukaku in early this week

    7. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same move here for -4 so good!

    Who is the Best strikers for 6.8M or below please? I already have Toney from Brentford.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      edouard

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      +1. Just bought him

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Edouard easily.

      I think he's very under the radar.

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

        This ^

      2. Taegugk Warrior
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is he sealed his place at starting line up..?

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

          Vieira on Palace TV was clear on what he brought to the side and that Tekkers was a late call due to Zaha. Also said that Edouard could play all across front line which makes him even more nailed.

          Interested to see he's becoming something on FFS now.

          The problem with him is that Palace attack aren't creating that many chances for all the possession and attacking positions.

  3. Sanchit
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane or Vardy?

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should I be playing Trent (mun) or Livramento (BUR) over one of the Brentford boys?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo, Dias, James
    Salah, Rafinha, Mbeumo, Foden
    Antonio, Vardy, Toney

    4.0; Livramento, Trent, Brownhill

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      trent over mbuemo

    2. ChippyT
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Never bench Trent

  5. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg?

    Ramsdale
    Trent • Cancelo • Dias • Livramento
    Salah(C) • Havertz • Raph • Mbeumo
    Antonio • Toney
    (Foster / White / Luiz / Lukaku)

    Will do Lukaku to Vardy next week. Don’t feel it’s worth a hit before a solid Brentford side when I can play Livramento

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bummed

      Ramsdale
      Taa Cancelo Rudiger Christensen
      Salah Raphinha Saka*
      Vardy Antonio Lukaku*
      Foster Livramento Brownhill D Luiz

      Lukaku and Saka to ...
      a) Mbuemo + Kane
      b) Son + Toney
      c) Havertz + Auba

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years

  6. 03farmboy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any one think it would be better to double up on chelse defence instead of haverts ??

    1. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Me. Havertz has 1 goal and 0 assists in 317 minutes. Really not convinced he is going to score bucket loads of goals all of a sudden. Only issue is which defenders are going to start, hard to get 2 that will start.

      1. 03farmboy
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Rudiger definitely and then I like James got good attacking potential

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Double + Havertz

      1. farmerfat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        which two though?

        1. Root
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Rudiger and Azpilicueta

          1. 03farmboy
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Would you not consider James

        2. Taegugk Warrior
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I go with Azpi + chilwell

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like Chelsea's defensive stats recently.

    4. PAs lag
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger og Chilwell

  7. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    pull the trigger on Saka -> Havertz (-4)?

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

    Is Chilwell worth a -4.

    I have no Chelski players and would like to get for there upcoming fixtures.

    Move would be Veltman > Chilwell

    Thanks

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your other defenders as veltman to chilly good transfer

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Other defenders are

        TAA | Cancelo | White | Livramento

        1. Taegugk Warrior
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You already have pretty good def this week

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to know who starts is the issue

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long term yeah do it

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Think I will just wait for TT presser.

  9. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A or B ?

    A Havertz Raya
    B Mount Mendy

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky, but i will go with b

    4. hustler7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't forget Mendy off in the new year for African nations. Easy transfer to Kepa though.

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    These are the 3 moves I’ll debate all day; which we saying?

    A. CR7+Shaw >> Vardy+Cancelo
    B. CR7+Shaw >> Kane+Chilwell
    C. CR7+Mount >> Vardy/Kane+Havertz

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

      A

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep CR7

    3. ChippyT
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did A yesterday

  11. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone actually pondered that Mount can play false 9?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      can he?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dont remember him every playing false 9 before

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Mount plays false nine and Tuchel plays 3 forwards, there's still 2 more spots to fill. Most likely Ziyech and Havertz imo

      Doubt Tuchel goes for 2 up front but if he does then it's 2 of the blokes in question. Probably Havertz and Mount

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, Mount at false 9 in a 4-3-3 is arguably better for Havertz than him playing at the front of a 4-3-2-1

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Tuchel? 4 atb?

  12. RyanMK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC, thoughts?

    Raya
    Rudiger - TAA - Cancelo - Livro
    Salah - Son - Townsend - Mbeumo
    Kane - Antonio

    Manquillo, Brownhill, 4.4 forward, Steele

    1. aree036
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big Spurs investment.
      I'm not sure about Townsend's long term prospects / ability to keep up the form.

  13. aree036
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What is best long term?

    A) Toney + Son (-4pt)

    B) Vardy + Mbuemo (-4pt)

    C) Kane + Mbuemo (-4pt)

    C) Vardy + Saka

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long enough term probably A or C depending which spurs and brentford guys you like more.

  14. aaroncfc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which two gets me more points this week:

    A) Sanchez and Mount
    B) Raya and Saka

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play 1 of:

    A) Saka
    B) Tierney
    C) Semedo

    The other two will be benched - what order?

    Currently on ABC.

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would go with that

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saka but haven’t read into his possible injury at all

    3. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I think ABC is correct ,.

    4. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      gtg

    5. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep ABC

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    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.

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

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

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

    Thoughts?

  17. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Crazy ? Semedo & sarr to chilly & Cho -4? Means benching Trent or tierney?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Buying CHO & benching Trent sounds a bit crazy yeah

    2. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not so crazy, but i will go for mbuemo instead of cho

  18. Lukakuna
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Jota has a chance of starting against United?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      doubt it given bobby's recent performances. a cameo if he's lucky

  19. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    WC active. Am I good to go?

    My current plan is;
    GW 11 - Save transfer and make 2 moves to switch Antonio to Kane for free and downgrade Havertz.

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo TAA Chilwell
    Mbeumo Son Raph. Salah Havertz
    Antonio Toney

    Foster Livramento Jansson Davis

    1.5m itb

    1. C'mon the Fylde
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      * GW12 bring in Kane, having saved a FT

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      good team. I would go for the Brentford keeper over Ramsdale.

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have 3 Brentford players, so I'm maxed out.

  20. SpaceCadet
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any of these moves worth a hit this gw?

    A. Omo > Azpi
    B. Jota > raph

    Foster
    Taa cancelo rudiger
    Salah havertz Jota Sarr Gallagher
    Vardy Antonio

    Sanchez semedo Omo Scarlett

  21. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ignoring ownership would you captain Kane over Salah? Because ultimately you pick the players you think scores most, not the one you’re scared of going against due to ownership %

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you think Kane scores more, then captain him

      I think Salah scores more so he's my captain

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think it’s close, just wanted to put the question out there. Appreciate the response though

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          If you think they score similar then I would usually side with who's got higher ownership

          If you were confident Kane scores more then I'd be more inclined to go with your gut and ignore ownership

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Great insight, appreciate it. My minds in two places as normally if I think it’s even, id lean the mid option due to them getting more points for G/CS. Although just have a feeling about Kane this week but not sure how to gauge Spurs and even United defense cause we’ve seen last season they can park the bus against the big sides

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If I thought Kane would outscore Salah then I would see the ownership as an opportunity.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        True, just feel too many people around here base their decisions on EO and things like that and don’t dig below the surface. To each their own though of course

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs too unreliable at the moment . Salah for security .

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s my worry, although feel a little better now that Kane is off the mark for the year but Salah scoring in every game but one either tells you that it’s stupid to go against him or he’s due a blank haha

  22. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I'm putting my faith in good old ollie watkins!!

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

      a good player, but misses far too many chances. Ings better choice imo.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I could have afforded ings aswell, what have I done 😆 He loves a goal or two against arsenal though!!

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ollie is not in form.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If he was, he wouldn't be such a differential 😆 althought tbf to him he's had two goal contributions in his last to, going under the radar a bit

  23. smix
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A. Saka to Havertz for -4
    B. Hold & play Gallagher instead ?

    1. Puntillimon

      B

    Captain
    A) Jesus
    B) cancelo
    C) Salah

    1. ZeBestee

      That's what the Captain Poll is for. How will my 1 vote on your 3 choices sway you over 1000's of votes on the Captain Poll?

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years

      Egyptian guy that scores for fun

  25. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    G2G?

    a) Play Gallagher
    b) Play Gray
    c) 1st Bench Sarr
    d) 2nd Bench AArmstrong

    Alonso means 1st bench may be needed

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Do we think Saka plays tonight?

    Trying to decide if I start him, mbuemo or LIVRAMENTO

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      concerned he gets hooked early or comes on for a cameo

      1. -GK22-
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly my worry

  27. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can't help feeling havertz is a trap. That I'm going to dive into head first.

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did the reverse last week. Been hopping between Chelsea defenders & getting constant no shows / 1pt-ers. Im inclined to give James another week or two
