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.

    TTs comments give me a glimmer of hope Lukaku may be ready for next weekend.

    3.1m to spend

    B) Jota > Son

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Chilwell Cancelo Livra White

    Currently on a WC - not fully convinced by Havertz, but one Norwich goal could ruin it….

    Sanchez

    Azpilicueta - Chilwell - Alonso

    Salah - Son - Raphina - Mbuemo

    Vardy - Antonio - Toney

    Bench: Foster; Livramento; Duffy; Norman

    2.4m ITB to bring in Cancelo and TAA in next few GWs.

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years

      Not sure about spending 11M on 2 defenders competing for 1 spot

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz a good option?

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foden > Havertz For free
    Yaaay

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

    Concerns over Jimenez not starting v Leeds.

    Risk it and start him or start Livramento instead?

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Source?

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would risk Jimmy.

    3. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
