Team Reveals

FPL Team Reveal: Who I’m replacing Romelu Lukaku with in Gameweek 9

After eight Gameweeks of the 2021/22 campaign, I’m currently sat just outside of the top 100k overall with 531 points.

Since I last checked in, I played a successful Gameweek 7 Wildcard, which I’ve included below alongside my Gameweek 8 set-up and week-by-week history of the season so far.

Now, ahead of Gameweek 9, my priority has been finding a replacement for the injured Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m). There are other issues in my team, like Adam Armstrong (£6.0m), but with a decent enough looking squad, I’m happy to wait a week or two before moving him on.

So, armed with £2.0m in the bank following last week’s frustrating Son Heung-min (£10.2m) > Phil Foden (£8.0m) transfer (don’t ask…), no forward is out of reach.

For context, here’s a shortlist of the options I considered.

    Would you play Livramento over Saka/Antonio/Grealish?

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Saka. The others, no way.

    3. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah.

  2. JONALDINHO

    What’s the story with Lukaku and Werner? Is Havertz safe for the next 3?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Def out for next two games including Southampton in the cup in midweek

    Already done Ronaldo to Vardy so thoughts on next moves
    A= Jota - Havertz FT
    B= Jota and Zaha- Son and Mbeumo -4
    C= Jota and Zaha- KDB and 4.6 or less mid

    The defender to bring in for Marcal after deadline? 5.7m to spend.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nailed on now?

    2. Ginkapo FPL

      The one who scores this week

  5. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you play livramento over benrahma or sarr

  6. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you drop to the bench?

    a) TAA
    b) Mbueno
    c) Livra

    Play one:

    Saka or Hwang

  8. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What's up with this Jiminez nonsense? The IB was some days ago now and he only played 30 mins for Mexico, 2 game rest for that?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haven't heard anything

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nevermind. Seen the tweet

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds like may be benched at best

  9. Shearer & Sutton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane C too risky?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do you think Spurs best West Ham?

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe not but least Spurs can score against West Ham.

  10. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which one to play?

    Sarr or Laporte

  11. tabby98
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foster
    TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
    Salah, Havertz, Benrahma, Raphinha
    Vardy, Antonio, Toney

    Sanchez | Sissoko, Veltman, Tsimikas

    Gtg?

  12. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    My WC front 3 of Jiminez, Armstrong and Lukaku worked out well.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That’s tough

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thought my WC team was going to give me benching headaches, actually it's just giving me 'fielding 11 players' headaches

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ouch

  13. FPLBRAH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alright lads,

    Sarr --> Havertz worth a -8 or risky? Not took many hits so far.

    Sanchez
    TAA Azpi Cancelo
    Salah Raph Gray Mbeumo Sarr*
    Antonio Vardy
    Subs: Foster Reguilon Tsimikas Scarlett

    Cheers!

    1. nedsmula
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've just brought him in on a WC but I think he could be worth it.

      1. FPLBRAH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! I still have my WC, might just use it and take out the dead wood aswell.

  14. nedsmula
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC here, and currently with this.
    Have 0.8m ITB so suggestions on where to upgrade would be great.

    Sanchez / Foster

    White / Livramento / Rudiger / TAA / Cancelo
    Salah / Mbuemo / Raphina / Havaertz / Foden
    Toney / Vardy / Broja

    Any advice much appreciated.

    1. Phlajo
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would probably go Raya over Sanchez at that pricepoint.

      1. nedsmula
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Sanchez has a few tough games ahead.

    2. nedsmula
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      OK.
      Sanchez out for Raya.
      0.7 ITB

    3. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've gone Chilwell over Cancelo

  15. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A'noon all. With Lukaku out, who to get in? Have Vardy & Antonio.

    A - Kane
    B - Toney
    C - Jesus
    D - other

    Ta!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would consider Edouard.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

      1. Malkmus
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers both

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Both for -4

    Sissoko and Ronaldo to Auba and Havertz.
    Or
    Ronaldo and Semedo to Cancelo and Kane.

  17. cjk17
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hows this looking for a Wildcard:

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Chilwell, Laporte
    Salah, Mbeumo, Son, Raphina,
    Vardy, Antonio, Toney

    Subs: White, Livramento, Allan

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    1. Phlajo
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsdale -> Raya. Arsenal defence is...

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      GTG.. I'd probably just take Brownhill and bag the 0.2 over Allan

  18. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Saka & Lukaku >>?

    A Jesus & Son/Havertz/Mount
    B Auba & Havertz/Mount
    C Toney & KDB

    1. cjk17
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C for me. I like the KDB pick. Seems a bit overlooked

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

  19. D.Glynn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC, would you go for
    A) KDB or Kane
    B) Both KDB and Kane but no Havertz and weeker squad.

  20. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which one for the team below?

    1) Raya, Azpi, Livra, Duffy and 0.9ITB
    2) McCarthy, TAA, Duffy, Manquilo and 0.0ITB
    3) Raya, TAA, Duffy, 3.9 and 0.0ITB

    XXX/Foster
    XXX/Cancelo/Chilwell/XXX/XXX
    Salah/Son/Havertz/Raph/Mbeumo
    Vardy/Toney/4.4

  21. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So I am to understand Jimenez is still tired after his international duty over a week ago?
    Surely that can't be right?
    Did Mexico do anything unusual from all other International games in the past?

    Should I start Mbeumo over Jimenez?

    Thanks.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I don't get it at all.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry if I am being ignorant, but who is Ben Ramsdale?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        All I know is Neale and Andy have commented on it and asked him, so much be a reliable source

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Must*

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Must be 😉 cheers.

  22. BantasyFootball
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Using my WC

    Guaita (Sanchez)
    Rudiger Azpi Livramento (White TAA)
    Salah Havertz Townsend Mbuemo KDB
    Hwang Antonio Broja

    Thinking either Salah or KDB captain.
    I'm torn about KDB. Obvious roulette issues, but got some rest in midweek. Other option is to do replace KDB+Broja -> Vardy+Raph. Lukaku injury has really messed with things!

    1. BantasyFootball
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      * Salah or Havertz captain

  23. The Gambler.

    Schmeichel
    Trent cancelo rudiger
    Salah Kai sarr Benny
    Asm antonio Jesus (c)

  25. mcsteely
