⬇️ 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! 🍻

The Algerian has been in great form through pre season and unlike most other midfield assets is fully rested with no international involvement. But the inevitable rotation once other players are back to full fitness makes him a very short term hold in my opinion.
🟥 K. HAVERTZ
He should start as Chelsea's CF vs CRY this week but with Lukaku imminent I can't help feel Havertz's pre season appeal drops, especially with a tricky run of fixtures following the GW1 tie. I still think he's in for a good season tho so some might be happy to hold
