Are you ready to unearth the best FPL players for Gameweek 9? Let’s get this show on the road!
Goalkeepers
Nick Pope (Newcastle) and Jose Sa (Wolves) are the highest-scoring goalkeepers this season, having picked up 38 and 37 points, respectively. Although they are both away from home this weekend, they both have a favourable fixture.
In terms of premium goalkeepers, Alisson (Liverpool) and Edouard Mendy (Chelsea) look like the best picks for Gameweek 9. With four of the top five facing each other, it is difficult to predict where clean sheets will come from.
Defenders
Kieran Tripper (Newcastle) was the most transferred in player in Gameweek 8. He is also the third-highest scoring defender in the game, meaning he could enjoy plenty of success against Fulham.
William Saliba (Arsenal) and Joao Cancelo (Man City) are the only defenders to have outscored Tripper this season. Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) could kick-start his campaign when Brighton visit Anfield.
Midfielders
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) burst into life in Gameweek 8, netting a hat-trick in Spurs’ 6-2 thrashing of Leicester. Although Antonio Conte’s side face Arsenal this weekend, Son could easily pick up where he left off.
Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) and Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) have both enjoyed impressive campaigns up to now. Let’s not forget about Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), too, who has the ability run riot against Brighton.
Forwards
It goes without saying that Erling Haaland (Man City) is the best forward option for Gameweek 9 – and for the rest of the season for that matter! Haaland has bagged 11 goals and one assist in seven league games this term.
Harry Kane (Tottenham), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham) and Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal) have also hit the ground running this season. Can they bolster their tallies this weekend?
