III) Prince
FPL Prince is detailing potential transfers in for an out of form Teemu Pukki. There’s a swing in the fixtures, which makes the argument for a transfer out even more convincing.
My top 3 Pukki Replacements:
1. Abraham
? 8 Goals
? Great Fixtures
? Started last 62. Vardy
? Penalties
? Great fixtures
? Rested International break3. Wilson
? Returned in 7/8 Games
? Reasonable fixtures

V) Tips
FPL Tips has updated his watchlist for FPL gameweek 9. It’s no surprise to see that man, Sadio Mane, entering our thoughts. He was one of very few premiums to return last time.
? NEW #FPL VIDEO ?
Mane has had 2 more big chances than Salah in the last 4 Gameweeks, earning him a place on the watchlist ahead of #GW9

VI) Muzzy
FPL Muzzy has provided some informative statistics on midfielders. Sterling leads the way which could bode well for future returns after a barren spell.

Sterling – 22
Salah – 21
McGinn – 21
Pepe – 20
Maddison – 20Top 5 midfielders for goal attempts inside the box so far this season…

VII) Family
Leicester assets are proving popular for their favourable run of games. Lee compares their top two assets, but one is flagged with illness and the other has had off-pitch shenanigans to deal with.

Base bps: 14 v 50
Mins per Attempt: 55 v 30
Accuracy: 54% v 19%

VIII) Luke
Luke has provided some interesting facts to digest over the International Break. There’s plenty of cheap players who are out-performing our premium options.
Some fun FPL facts:
Wesley has the same points as TAA.
Jordan Ayew has the 4th highest bonus point return in the game.
Pereira is the joint highest scoring def in the game.
David Silva has 3 double digit hauls, Sterling has 1.

IX) Statman
There’s plenty of great value options at Chelsea, with many managers considering a triple up. Premier League Statman presents a convincing argument for Abraham and Hudson-Odoi.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has either scored or assisted in every appearance for Chelsea this season
