⬇️ LEAGUE TABLE
🎯 FIXTURE TO TARGET
➡️ CHE vs NOR
Can't help but see a comfortable win for Chelsea in this one, especially given their home advantage. Whilst many hopes will be pinned on Havertz/Mount, picking the right defensive asset could pay dividends. Clean sheet looks a certainty
🎯 FIXTURE TO TARGET
➡️ BHA vs MCI
City have found their feet and with players like Foden, KDB and Gundogan returning to fitness they'll only get stronger. Whilst BHA have been impressive I think MCI are in cruise control at the minute and like CHE I'm backing a MCI clean sheet.
Joint highest scorer with 7 league goals but only now Vardy is really coming on to people's radar; he'll be a popular replacement for Lukaku this week. Whilst BRE have been impressive in defence I fancy Vardy to grab another goal this weekend.
Mo is your form pick, in previous threads I've suggested he's the best in the PL but right now there's not many in the world performing at his level so consistently. 12 returns to his name vs a leaky MUN defence, he has to be considered for the armband!
🔮 PREDICTIONS
➡️ Highest Points
1️⃣ Kane - 5.83
2️⃣ Mount - 5.75
3️⃣ Rudiger - 5.62
4️⃣ Havertz - 5.58
5️⃣ Son - 5.53
6️⃣ James - 5.51
7️⃣ KDB - 5.46
8️⃣ Edouard - 5.38
9️⃣ Vardy - 5.33
🔟 Azpilicueta - 5.28
Vardy (£10.6m) is the form pick with a decent run of fixtures to GW16. If you'd like to go something different then Iheanacho (£7.0m) could be worth consideration.
Toney (£6.4m) as mentioned below will be a popular pick with BUR, NOR, NEW on the horizon.
🚑 LUKAKU REPLACEMENTS
Kane (£12.1m) has a lovely fixture run coming up, arguably up until GW26. But obviously TOT aren't the most reliable.
Edouard (£6.5m) 3 goals in 267mins with NEW, MCI, WOL, BUR ahead.
If Wilson (£7.3m) stays fit he will always be worth consideration.
🔴 MBUEMO & TONEY
BRE have a lovely little run of games from GW10 and Mbuemo & Toney look the players to be considering; though it could even be argued that LEI present an opportunity to jump in on them this GW given how the foxes have conceded 132 shots (19th), 14 goals (16th)
🔴 MBUEMO vs TONEY
At £5.5m, Mbeumo is the cheaper asset compared with Toney who's currently £6.4m.
Toney is on pens, has the most FPL points (33/29) and comfortably the more popular asset with 15.8% ownership compared to Mbeumo's 3.3% but the double up is worth consideration
🔵 CHILWELL
Since his return to the CHE lineup in GW7 Chilwell has 2x goals and 23 FPL points, only bettered by Salah. CHE fixtures are absolutely glorious from a defensive aspect over the next 3 GWs but the rotation risk with Alonso gives us a real headache! James however..
💡 GW9 TIPS
🔹With a couple of fires to put out in Lukaku and Co I think managers could get away with a hit this week provided it sets you up longer term.
🔹Lukaku's injury also paves way cash in. Bringing a cheaper replacement in might help get to the likes of Son/Mane
🏖️ Apologies for the lateness posting and the lack of content included in comparison to usual GW threads. Currently on holiday with my 2 year old so it's been almost impossible to catch the time needed to put this thread together.
Good Luck to you all in GW9! 🍻

14 clean sheets (2nd) last season but only 4 of those came at home, that said with 3 home matches in that first 5 GWs I'm certainly not put off ARS defence coverage.
💭 My initial reaction was to lean towards RAMSDALE, but with RAYA signed he's one to avoid IMO
GABRIEL now the stand out option. 2nd best xG of all DEF's last season, 10 goals in last 3 seasons. A threat from set pieces
📉 SALIBA to be considered if you want away from template
Toney with a hat trick vs LEE including a banging free kick. He's now on 5goals & 2assists for the season
Mitrovic with another goal vs TOT. Back to back goals in each of their last 4games taking him to 6goals for the season.
Both strikers are high on my radar!
✍🏻 GW6 Notes
MUN with another win, whilst ARS dominated large spells MUN were clinical in attack. Antony debut goal & Eriksen was excellent, but Rashford the stand out FPL asset with goal & assist
Finally a LIV clean sheet! But TAA subbed on 59mins & Robbo benched! Frustrating!
Haaland with another hat trick vs NFO. Back to back hattys & 9goals already this season. Incredible
Mitrovic on the scoresheet once again, that's 5 in 5 for him. Don't let ties vs TOT & CHE put you off him, he'll cause even the best defences a problem in this form
📝 GW5 Notes
A very encouraging debut from Isak with a well taken goal & unlucky to have a second effort disallowed. At just £7.0 he's definitely worth keeping tabs on.
Back to back CS for MUN & 19pts from last two games for Dalot. At £4.4 he could be worth consideration
