Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ends at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where the team news has just arrived for Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.

TEAM NEWS

Everton’s only change from the defeat at Manchester City sees loanee Jack Grealish (£6.9m) – ineligible to face his parent club – come in for Carlos Alcaraz (£5.2m).

James Tarkowski (£5.5m), Jordan Pickford (£5.5m), Iliman Ndiaye (£6.5m), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.0m) and Michael Keane (£4.5m) all start.

As for Spurs, two attacking alterations see Randal Kolo Muani (£6.9m) and Brennan Johnson (£6.7m) replace Mathys Tel (£6.3m) and Wilson Odobert (£5.3m). It means that Richarlison (£6.6m) will have to make do with a cameo versus his former club.

Thomas Frank has Pedro Porro (£5.6m), Micky van de Ven (£4.7m) and Mohammed Kudus (£6.8m) in the starting XI.

      Due to price changes id need to get mateta or lose reijnders tonight. So it's a risk with midweek games

      Alternative is to wait and get someone like minteh instead. Thanks

            Normally I like benching headaches, but analytics don't know what they are doing. They recommend Reijnders (1-2pt) next week over Senesi who gets 2-3 pts.
