3 top players to pick for Gameweek 9 | Fantasy Premier League 2018-19

So long Gameweek 8, and welcome Gameweek 9. Going into the international break, it was a good outing last weekend with Liverpool holding the defending champions to a goalless draw to stop The Cityzens from going ahead in terms of the points tally on the league table.

This week's premier focus would be Manchester United visiting Stamford Bridge to face Maurizio Sarri's on song Chelsea. The Blues stay second only to Manchester City on goal difference, with 20 points, followed by Liverpool in the top three.

Mourinho's Man United will be on a high going into this fixture, after putting up one of the best comeback performances of the season so far. This encounter could prove their mettle, and will surely be a treat to watch. Without further ado, lets take a look at the top 3 players you ought to have in your side heading into Gameweek 9.

#1 Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal will be welcoming Leicester City to the Emirates this weekend. The Gunners look unstoppable with 6 straight victories in the last 6 games in the Premier League.

All i can say is the Unai Emery show has begun, and Alexandre Lacazette is sure to remain in the thick of things for Arsenal. My suggestion would be to make him the main front man, and also possibly hand him the arm band for extra gains.

#2 Joshua King

Bournemouth play Southampton at home, and Eddie Howe's side have averaged around 2 goals per game this season.

With players like Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson around, Josh King is certain to get a good share of shots on goal inevitably. Moreover, the penalty taking duties makes him a must have in your team.

#3 Matt Doherty

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been promoted to the Premier League, and for not even once have they looked like a 1st division side. Nuno Espirito Santo has taken the Premier League by storm with his above average Wolves team that has been on an amazing run.

Elsewhere, with the likes of Benjamin Mendy fading out and not getting enough game time, this makes Matt Doherty much more important as a goal scoring defender, and he comes in as a good value for money option at a price of £4.7. He is absolutely a bargain, and Wolves pretty much have a good round of favourable fixtures coming their way.

That's that for my early tips for your fantasy team to get in shape for the upcoming weekend. Hope you guys have a fantastic Gameweek 9. Cheers!
