Exclusively for readers of the Fantasy Premier League Briefing, The Scout has singled out players worthy of particular consideration for Gameweek 9 ahead of Friday's 18:30 BST deadline.
All kick-off times are BST.
Saturday 23 October
12:30 Chelsea v Norwich
Ben Chilwell (CHE) £5.7m
The Chelsea wing-back has produced 23 points in two appearances since securing a starting role in Gameweek 7. Chilwell has combined two goals with a clean sheet and three bonus in that period.
He is the second most-bought player in the Gameweek, earning over 207,000 transfers in for the Blues’ home match against Norwich City.
15:00 Crystal Palace v Newcastle
Callum Wilson (NEW) £7.3m
The fit-again Wilson is owned by just 1.2 per cent of managers for Newcastle United’s visit to Crystal Palace. The forward has scored in three of his four appearances this season, netting against West Ham United, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur.
Wilson has averaged 6.0 points per match compared with the 4.9ppm of his team-mate Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.8m).
Sunday 24 October
14:00 Brentford v Leicester
Bryan Mbeumo (BRE) £5.6m
Listed as a midfielder in Fantasy, Mbeumo (£5.6m) has been playing up front this season. The Frenchman has scored both his goals in 2021/22 over the last four Gameweeks.
At a cost of only £5.6m, he has the schedule to offer standout value, with Brentford facing each of the bottom three in the next four Gameweeks.
Jamie Vardy (LEI) £10.6m
Vardy is the most-bought player in Gameweek 9, earning over 488,000 transfers in for Leicester City’s trip to west London.
The striker has scored five of his seven goals this season in the last four Gameweeks. Vardy’s 14 shots in the box in that period were joint-top with Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) among all players.
14:00 West Ham v Spurs
Son Heung-min (TOT) £10.1m
The South Korean has averaged 7.3ppm in 2021/22 Fantasy. Son has blanked on just two of those occasions, delivering three sets of double-figure hauls.
He has returned 13 points in two of his last four appearances against West Ham.
Remember, the Gameweek 9 deadline is at 18:30 BST on Friday 22 October.
