How did you do against the Fantasy Premier League experts in Gameweek 9?
The FPL Experts Panel team is run by some of the best Fantasy managers in the world.
For the first time in five attempts the team managed to climb the rankings. In a low-scoring week, their 37 points was exactly the Gameweek 9 average.
Robertson delivers again
Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) was the team's top scorer with eight points.
The Liverpool defender provided an assist and collected the maximum three bonus points in their 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
It was Robertson’s third assist of the season, equalling team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m).
Once again, though, the experts were left frustrated by their chosen captain.
Captain woes continue
They joined over 850,000 FPL managers in handing the armband to Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) for Chelsea's home match against Newcastle United.
But Abraham's blank was the the sixth time this season the experts' captain has failed to score or assist.
Vice-captain Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) earned five points thanks to his first assist of 2019/20 in Manchester City’s win at Crystal Palace.
The absence of Sterling's team-mate Nicolas Otamendi (£5.6m), along with Mohamed Salah (£12.4m), meant the experts were reliant on their substitutes.
Bench points
Popular budget defender John Lundstram (£4.6m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) duly obliged, emerging from the bench to supply a combined eight points.
However, the experts' score could have been better if they hadn't transferred out Lucas Digne (£6.0m) for Caglar Soyuncu (£4.7m).
Everton's Digne earned six points with his first clean sheet since Gameweek 2, while Soyuncu claimed only two points in Leicester City's 2-1 win over Burnley.
