TRIPLE CAPTAIN HAALAND? 😲 | MY FPL GAMEWEEK 9 TEAM SELECTION | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@thenivener4249]

I love watching your content because of the positivity in your videos, no matter how badly gameweek goes for you, you are always smiling and looking for a silver lining in a shit creek that you find yourself in. It helps me always stay positive despite any bad situations that happen to me in FPL. Thanks Ross!

[@woodyjohnson8575]

Ross, great point on Solanke on the break, he was actually jogging from deep on one of those counters last week and about 15 yards from even getting to the box when Son was looking for options! Gave me a raised eyebrow. Will be watching him again this week with a monicle and his efforts better improve or he's cut 😂

[@LvvLndv]

I do like your 4th option of transfers. It's an early preparation for the next fixtures to come. I like Wissa but feel like his good fixture runs just until GW13 which is a bit short-term in my view. I'd be more tempted to get Jackson or Welbeck for the longer horizon of good fixtures.

[@alansared7200]

I'm at 4mil and was 6k last year, I'm keeping hope and long way to go

Hi Ross, Your positivity is and always has been a breath of fresh air in a game that is meant to be fun (I think more people need to start remembering that before dishing out hate!!) You make it fun for all of us in the end by doing it your way :) Thanks again for you hard work and content. Will look forward to your next video 😃

Same here. Sold Saka for Palmer, hopeful with Welbeck as he'll train today and Greaves can sit on the bench till he's back next month.

[@ankari5257]

I sold saka for son, kept Greaves on the bench might have to swap your bench for welbeck or bite the bullet and get a transfer in exchange for the points and pray who you pick makes your points back

Captaincy is more vital in this game than ever. I missed the captaincy for the first 5 weeks and was down in 5m rank somewhere, but I've nailed it in the last three weeks and am now around 700k.

[@SuperLarson777]

No way you get solid news on Saka. The most solid news you'll get is " he's not fit" which means he's a nailed starter, knowing Arteta.

[@alexbcfc1875]

Looking at the odds for clean sheet potential 1 van den berg 2 Gabriel 3 Davis 4 Ait nouri. For me only chance of a clean sheet is Brentford at home to Ipswich. The others long odds on to concede.

[@ConorMedlyn26]

A lot of the teams have around a 25% chance, Brentford have 35%. Good week for Flekken for sure

[@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqq-p4o]

When you read these comments about people watching you for you- regardless of how your season is going (this includes me), do you not feel like pushing gambling to the same audience would not be the smartest move? Since you are the main selling point of the channel, would it not be wiser to steer clear of sponsorships that make you look terrible?

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks for your comment. I’ve turned down numerous gambling companies for sponsorships for this reason. I’m aware for many people Sorare will be considered gambling, but for me I see it as a fantasy football product combined with collectibles. I always loved collecting cards growing up, and so it’s an extension of that for me. The fact that the cards prices can fluctuate in price based on real world performances and ETH will make it a gambling product in many eyes, but I feel comfortable promoting it as it’s a game I really enjoy, even before I partnered with them, and I don’t see it as gambling any more than something like FIFA. I hope that makes sense, and I’m sorry if you don’t agree with the decision to partner with them. But thank you for your comment 🙏🏼

[@evewendland4471]

Even though Arsenal is not looking great with the injuries/suspensions, they tend to play better defensively in away games and Gabriel is basically fixture proof. So clean sheets are unsure but the attacking threat is still there.

[@vegankicks]

If you have no City Players, and have Salah and Arsenal players this week, would you consider a free hit to get in three City and three Brentford for example, and to Captain Haaland? I feel like the free hit chip isn't as "cup" gameweeks dependent as it was in previous years?

[@davem.4705]

You can make a pretty decent FH team this week, some great fixtures to target and then you have your Ars and Pool assets next week for decent games

[@vegankicks]

Yea I am worried about no city this week and might be the best option if Haaland goes off, which he could easily is Southampton try and play out from the back

[@JBR_90]

Being at the lofty heights of 2.3m in rank (how has this season gone so bad?!) I went Saka to Foden last night and will TC Haaland. At my rank I have nothing to loose, I have no value in Saka, Man City have injuries, Foden is a gamble for 3 weeks I am willing to take, and I already have 2 Spurs assets in Johnson and Porro so getting Son seems an overload. The potential upside is massive! and I am here for the drama either way 😅 Good Luck!

[@NathanMellows-uj8mp]

Sels in for Raya could possibly be a good option for you? Forest have really improved. I’m tempted by this move myself but I have Aina in my team and don’t know if I like doubling up on defences.

[@bosshuxley4933]

If you triple captain in a double you LITERALLY get 6 points for FREE.. it’s as simple as that as far as I’m concerned

[@chrismoren1341]

Wow. You are a genius 😮

[@fae.meadows27]

not if they get subbed off

[@Pemdas92]

Nah you get 2 points for free. Because you would've captained him in that double anyway if you didn't use triple. So no triple captain: 4 pts Triple captain: 6 pts

[@FPLRaptor]

Na you get 2 points for free, as you’d have captained them if you didn’t triple captain them

[@Chip051991]

Not if they only play one game of the double

[@QuKi3ToX]

I went without Haaland so far but used my free hit now target the fixtures. I brought in Haaland, Wissa, Mbeumo, Porro, Gvardiol, Flekken, Wood, Aina, Son, Garnacho, Palmer, Lewis. Need to bench one of them - maybe Lewis? He played in the champions league while Gvardiol rested so maybe now they take turns.

[@Pete-tr4zv]

I think Arteta is at it again and Saka will play against Liverpool. He has previous when it comes to these big games. That said, I'm not prepared to take the risk and think Son (if fit) outscores him over next three anyway (even if a -4 is involved getting Saka back from gw12).

[@lukeyboy1237]

Thanks for video Ross. Imagine the ceiling of option 4 and haaland triple captain has massive green arrow potential

[@mrpaul5726]

Fab goal by Haaland, genius. But one swallow doesn't make a summer and he isn't on a run of form yet, so personally I am Captaining him but not tripling.

[@Wolverine999]

Option 1 Ross, I had been planning to do the same swap (Saka to Son or Foden) too

[@seefoghall]

I'm thinking Saka to Son this week, then move Son out later for Palmer.

[@SebPZLDN]

[@danielcooper3868]

I’m not confident you actually watch the videos if you think his team is just trusting AI

[@sb50cal9]

Agreed.

[@ethanwilkins1388]

I would probably start Lewis, VDB and ait nouri and then if one doesn't start you get a bit of bench jam. So if arsenal keep the CS you're buzzing

[@gimiC]

YO ross, i think that doubling in a single GW, even if the fixture is the best, is inferior, since like you said pep could definitely take Haaland off if its a comfortable win and Haaland participates in two or three goals, but if you have the chance of two games (even though a good DGW is unlikely this season) then the chance of having 180~ minutes instead of only 60-70 minutes on a SGW is in my opinion a huge advantage, especially with such crowded fixtures.

[@FPLRaptor]

I agree mate, but the point is that we might not have enough doubles to use all of our chips in!

[@gimiC]

@@FPLRaptor makes sense, Chin up!

[@Starboy1997MUFC]

Think I’m going to be joining you in triple captaining haaland brother! I’ve already toyed with the idea so now if I don’t and he goes crazy against Southampton I will beat myself up😂

[@rowan6585]

Brought in Wissa and Son for Solanke and Saka. Didn't want to trade out Saka and was willing to hold 1 week

[@louisdahlia]

Go for option 4, go for it . All 3 have great fixtures.

[@user-io3hn3lf4g]

The way I saw Saka was he was 10.1m, I wanted Cole Palmer he'll probably increase in price while Saka will probably drop. I'm hoping Foden will increase in price up to GW12 where I'll probably sell him for profit and if Saka drops below 10m that's a bonus.

[@LvvLndv]

It could only take KDB to be fit for me to swing to TC Haaland this week. Doku being out helps Haaland massively.

[@domorquaay]

Gabriel, Ait Nouri, Lewis, Van Den Berg, Davis in that order (Lewis would be first if there was no minutes risk)

[@pringlecake]

Option four could be Solanke to Wissa, Saka to Foden and Dibling to Johnson? Or is that all a bit sideways?

[@funtimesloading]

The game is about getting the most points, not saving the most transfers. Booking in transfers are not so bad this season because we have up to 5 to work with. Make the Saka transfer.

[@toonclarky]

What about Saka to Son which gives you the spurs attack, and Solanke down to Wissa so you have him for this fixture? I'm 80% playing triple captain with Haaland this week

[@dannichols3171]

Keep up your great work Raptor. Saka to Son is a no brainer, then why not Solanke to Wissa and upgrade Dibling to Garnacho???

[@charlienicholas5341]

I’m torn. Do I do Trent to ait-nouri to fund Diaz to palmer and keep saka. Or do I keep Trent and sell saka to palmer?

[@robbenstein]

Just go saka to son, minimal trauma transfer. 😅 regarding the triple captain i look for to use it in gw 12 when palmer got leicester and salah got Southampton. Yes i’m looking to transfer out Haaland after this gw 🤓😅

[@JSmith-fx8uj]

I did Calafiori & Saka to Ait nuri& Palmer last night. Had to be done but.. Both players will chuck their casts off like that WWE meme 😅

[@Theomatikalli]

Hi Ross, would you do Jota+Havertz to Son+Wissa (-4)? I have exact funds so if Jota drops I'd be in trouble.

[@livij6017]

Dependency on FFH is killing content makers so far this season. Glad I always use the eye test instead of stats and team rating. I don't think I'd enjoy the game as much by relying on stats. I know content makers always say FFH can be used as a backup instead of being totally dependent on it to be fair.

[@derekknowles8418]

You should start van den berg over ait nouri. Then option four is killer. Not only are arsenal without saliba, but they might be starting kiwior or zinchenko at lb.

[@michaelscott4461]

I would ( and probably will) go Saka to Foden and Solanke to Wissa and have 2 transfers next week with bit of cash to deal with Dibling

[@swfc91]

I brought haaland in last week before Wolves literally just to Triple Captain him against Southampton. I’m sticking with my gut.

[@swfc91]

I also think Pep will use Haaland to gain some serious GD points that could matter at the end of the season, so I expect him to play 90

[@user-io3hn3lf4g]

I think defence benching order: 1. Leif Davis. 2. Rico Lewis. 3. Ait Nouri. 4. Gabriel. 5. Van De Berg. I think Southampton, West Ham, and Brentford are the worst team defensively and Davis is central to the Ipswitch attack and is likely to get a return. Gabriel might get a goal but doubt it. Rico lewis would be 1 if he was a guaranteed start.

[@tytough]

Thanksgorithm legend, looking forward to my commute now ;)

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks bro!

[@lunny2230]

Pretty annoyed I blew my wildcard in GW6 to get Haaland in. Looking now if i dropped Haaland and Solanke down to Jiminez and Wellbeck (or similar cheap forwards who are still returning well) Then I could have a midfield of Salah, Palmer, Saka, Son and Mbeumo which would be absolutely insane!!!! Still have budget for one premium (6M defender as well).

[@joshwhite08]

Can't get afford Palmer in 1 move. Can't get Son or Foden either unless sell Lewis/Porro (have 3 city and Spurs). What to do with Saka. No need to do 2 moves either as good team. Can bench Saka for Rogers, Gabriel or Van den Berg.

[@VisualWalkthrough]

Team this week is Sanchez, Lewis, Konate, Gabriel, Son, Palmer, Mbeuno, Rodgers, Robot, Wood , Cunha hoping for more then 26 Points last week.

@@1adedem I have just had him since gw3 dropped Trent to konate and upgraded son to Palmer .

Hey Ross, What a stinker for our premiums 😂 we thought we had it down 😭 Due to price changes, swap Saka out for Son. Absolutely brazy considering Halaand for triple captain mans lost the plot 🤣 funny thing is we both brought in Halaand and blanked (your fault btw) if he doesn’t perform well, we’re definitely considering transferring him out surely? TOO RISKY I would rather TC Gvaridol. That reminds me, remember when someone TC Gvaridol towards the end of last season and got 60+ points. 3 transfers? Remember you can always take a TACTICAL PUNT.

Double up on Arsenal defence is not the move, they’ve conceded at home to Leicester and Southampton and now they’re playing Liverpool without Saliba. I’d say you need to use at least 2 transfers this week your rank is way too low to be too passive with your 3 transfers. Saka out, Gabriel benched. Make some moves Ross!

[@wesm-o]

[@FPL_ChIcKeN]

I'm personally benching Gabriel, I think Brentford have a better chance of a clean sheet than Arsenal (Van Den Berg). I have TAA too and think he has more threat.

[@nickm2677]

THEORY: Arsenal usually doesn’t leak information, but the way they’ve been sharing updates on Saka suggests he’s definitely out, and Arteta is just playing mind games.

100% sell Saka for Son. This is what you save up free transfers for. He's probably injured still, he has a bad run of fixtures compared to Son, and you'll still end up with 5 free transfers in GW12 if it's your only move. I wouldn't go for Foden, for the rotation risk headache. You need players you can depend on now that you're trying to get back from a series of red arrows.
