Recommended Picks – GW9
Erling Haaland (Man City)
Still the top pick – 11 goals, 111 fantasy points, and a consistent threat even away from home. Despite City playing at Villa (29%), Haaland’s individual projection (0.64 G) keeps him in every lineup.
João Pedro (Chelsea)
Chelsea finally have a favorable matchup (Sunderland H), and João Pedro is trending up – 0.53 goal probability and an expanding role in the final third. A solid budget alternative to premium forwards.
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal)
Arsenal’s new signing is delivering – both his shooting form and team projection (46%) make him a must-pick this week.
Recommended stack: Gyökeres + Saka + Timber.
Value Picks
- Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) – 6 goals, 110 points, and a home fixture vs Forest (36%). Excellent price/performance ratio (f 8.4).
- Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) – 85.7 points, 2 goals from defense, among the most efficient defenders in the league.
- Moises Caicedo (Chelsea) – 3 goals, 98 points, and a box-to-box role make him a hidden gem for GW9.
- Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth) – cheap defensive stack partner for Semenyo (f 3.9).
Outside Bets
- Thiago (Brentford) – 5 goals in 8 matches; despite facing Liverpool (12%), his individual form deserves attention.
- Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool) – consistently involved in attacks, 2 goals and 78 fantasy points from midfield.
- Yankuba Minteh (Brighton) – low ownership, high ceiling – 81 points and 1 goal, a good differential option.
