RAUL, CUNHA, OR WISSA? 🤔 | MY FPL GAMEWEEK 9 PREVIEW | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@FPLRaptor]

Son Heung-Min was missing from Tottenham open training today ahead of Europa League game against AZ Alkmaar. Could be precautionary, could be load management after coming back from injury, but something to keep an eye on and obviously no early transfers to bring him in yet. Will discuss when we have more info later this week!

I read this interesting thread on Twitter from the FPL Bois; they said, "Stats certainly favour Cunha, but he is 1M+ expensive. The major factor to consider is that the zonal weakness for the next 9 GWs favours Larsen more" Zonal Weakness of the next 9 opponents - BHA concede max chances through centre - CPA right wing - SOU left wing & centre - Fulham left wing - BOU left wing - EVE right wing - WHU centre - IPS left wing & centre - LEI left wing 5/9 are weak on their left. 4/9 through centre

I know from a reliable source who works for FPL that the mystery chip will allow both your vice-captain's and captain's points to be doubled for a single gameweek.

[@MightyMacca74]

Would it be called a Vice Captain chip,but anyway if its true its a good chip,especially for Double Gameweek

[@nickythehippy]

I think it'll be a chip that allows you to play 2x other chips simultaneously in a single gw

[@MightyMacca74]

Hey Ross, great video as always, especially the cheap forwards section! I have Wood and wondering which week you think is right to jump off and which one to go for? Is it wissa if I go early, Cunha if I go later?

[@Lb_Collects]

Is it bad i'm considering a Free Hit? Do go Triple Brentford, Triple City, Double Chelsea (Newcastle shocking rn) and keep Arsenal / Liverpool assets? I really don't think i'll need free hit this year (with only 2 doubles)

I'm looking at removing Solanke soon too. Hesitate a bit on whether to give him the Villa and Ipswich game or make the switch to Cunha in GW10 to enjoy the Palace and Southampton fixtures.

I'm unsure on doing Solanke to Cunha or Calvet-Lewin or Strand Larson. Though I think I'll wait till next week to do either way.

[@rendros88]

depends on how much cash you need IMO, but I'd put both Cunha and JSL over Calvert-Lewin.

[@gantswood]

Don't ever put in DCL in your team. He never scores or assists. I had him for about 4 weeks and lost so many points.

[@shreyan89]

This Haaland vs. Raptor rivalry will surely go down in the history books.

[@borisbedelet4408]

What do you think about having : Saka, Palmer, Salah, Mbeumo, Rogers / Watkins, Wissa, Archer ?? I plan on doing this.

[@mariomh7953]

I was thinking of bringing Son to my team.. but his injuries and physique didn't give me confidence.. so I speak with my cousins, Spur fans and they said that the best option is Brennan Johnson. Cheap and is having the best moment of his career

[@King-Chub]

I have palmer, salah, rogers foden and haaland with cunha. Lewis van der venn, lewis, cash and keleher with amad, ven de berg and pedro on the bench

[@robbenstein]

Yes, if Haaland blanks again this GW i probably get Cunha instead of him to free up some cash so i can upgrade one of my midfielders to either Salah or Palmer. And at the same time also transfer Mazraoui out for Ait-Nouri. 👑

[@graziano1688]

Archer has the highest xG among those forwards, despite coach giving him random minutes at the start. And he is the cheapest. While Soton are poor defensively, they attack quite well, including against big teams. And his minutes are super secure now. After ManCity they have Everton and Wolves

Hey Raptor, love the content. Who to start in GW9... Smith Rowe or Vardy?

[@CharisSimamba]

I’ve made some moves and would love your thoughts. I sold Raya to a 4.0 (I’ve got Flekken) to free up funds for upgrading Dibling to McNeil. But with Arsenal’s injuries and tricky fixtures coming up, I’m thinking of selling Gabriel for Aït-Nouri and Havertz for either Cunha or Strand Larsen. If I go with Strand Larsen, I could take a -8 hit to swap McNeil for Palmer! My potential team would be: Flekken, Trent, Gvardiol, Aït-Nouri, Rogers, Mbeumo, Palmer, Salah, Strand Larsen, Haaland, DCL. I still have my wildcard, and I don’t mind taking hits and playing aggressively. I’m currently ranked in the top 14k!

[@faizalkassim1556]

I'm going with Wissa as my main Brentford player and then selling Mbuemo because Wissa will take points away from Mbuemo.

[@CharisSimamba]

[@tmmlvny]

Way out of left field for the mystery chip: No limitation to formation bar having to have at least a GK, 1 Defender, 1 Mid, 1 Forward. Can't be combined with other chips that gameweek

[@jpjordan90]

Thinking of using TC later on Salah, with the advantage of extra points for midfielders. Two goals and a clean sheet is +9 points for a mid over a forward (I think, maths)

[@MightyMacca74]

They have Southampton soon

[@AndySmith-85]

Also going for Salah, and yeah, the difference would be +9

-4 taken for Saka, Trossard, Robertson to Palmer, Johnson, Ait-Nouri. If Haaland has another stinker this weekend (I’m kind of hoping he does, since I might captain Mbeumo), it’s him and Semenyo to Cunha and Salah I feel. Then enough funds for Solanke to Watkins in GW12, and another Arsenal player in as well. Obviously, plans will change when everything goes wrong this weekend.
