DAN WRIGHT’S GAMEWEEK 9 TEAM – PRE-TRANSFERS

Gameweek 8 Review

I scored 66 points in Gameweek 8. That gave me a small green arrow, taking my overall rank to 1.1 million.

Gameweek 9 Plans

I have two free transfers this week. The Bench Boost was in my plans until Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) picked up a hamstring injury. I could replace him and use the chip, but that feels unnecessary.

Andersen’s injury doesn’t look long-term, and Fulham’s fixtures improve from Gameweek 10. I’d prefer to keep him for that run. I also want to save a free transfer for future flexibility, especially with Liverpool’s fixture swing in Gameweek 12. For those reasons, I’m leaning towards delaying the Bench Boost.

      Why are you looking to bench boost with that bench?

      Not just Anderson that is an issue, but Miley as well - who likely won't start for Newcastle this weekend.

      C is what I've gone for, so good to have a bit of validation.

      Sarr gets his points from goals and assists but vs Arsenal, so Xhaka who gets Defcon and bonus instead sseems better choice vs Chelsea

      Mukiele vs Munoz is tougher, not much to split them given opposition.
