Here’s our fantasy premier league GW9 team selection article where we talk about the FFGeek team. We look at last week, transfer dilemmas, captain choice and lineup issues

FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW9 TEAM SELECTION – THE FFGEEK TEAM

GW8 points: 51 with wildcard (Av 41) Total points 470 Overall rank 145k team value £101.7m

A green arrow of  39k which is a bit disappointing for a wildcard but the wildcard did gain at least 20 odd points so can’t complain too much.  I won’t go into last week in any detail as I did so in my early FFGeek team thoughts article

Here’s the team from last week:

TRANSFER OPTIONS

 I always prefer to roll over 2 transfers anyway so really after a wildcard there should be little reason to do so other than injuries.  It seems that Jones and Davies are going to be fit so I’m sticking with the team to get more flexibility for the next gameweek.

CAPTAIN CHOICE

 I will be writing a captain article.  However it’s difficult for me to go for anyone other than Lukaku at the moment.  Aguero is apparently ready to go in Pep’s words so Jesus could have his minutes curtailed in some way.  Jesus does have the ability to cause massive damage whatever minutes he’s on but it seems to much of a risk for me.

Kane at home against another top 4 challenging side doesn’t sit that well with me.  I could go Sterling but no matter how good form he’s in it seems a bit of a stretch.

I imagine within the overall FPL manager population Lukaku will be a massive favourite and with his ownership a big rank drop will happen if he succeeds and you don’t captain him.  There is some stat going around which says Lukaku hasn’t scored against 17/24 newly promoted teams or such like which has to be one of the most ridiculous stats I’ve seen put around.  So he didn’t score when he played for WBA against QPR 3 years ago or some such game.  Do me a favour.  And I’ll still say that if he fails this week.

So most likely Lukaku

LINEUP ISSUES

 The only issue here is the order of the front 2 on the subs bench.  Loftus Cheek or Carroll first.

I’ve gone for Carroll over Loftus Cheek.  I feel a bit uncomfortable going against my potential Newcastle clean sheet so only 1 can return which did play a part in the decision. I think Newcastle are the easier opposition but they are at home.  I’m worried that Hodgson may keep the same team as last week after such a good victory.  Carroll also seem to get into quite good positions last week and with Abraham showing some form there’s some prospect of returns.

I could make arguments either way but I’m going for Carroll first up
