Mark Sutherns is back alongside Andy North for another Premium Members-only chat to kick off Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 9.

The video is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark is recording for our subscribers every Gameweek throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see his regular appearances.

This week’s episode focuses on the biggest development of the week in Romelu Lukaku‘s (£11.6m) injury, discussing the best replacements for the Belgian as well as the points potential of Kai Havertz (£8.1m) when neither Lukaku or Timo Werner (£8.6m) are available.

Additionally, the pair talk about the emotional rollercoaster of owning a Chelsea defender, before they both reveal their Gameweek 9 line-ups.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I have Mount also and am debating a Havertz move. Pound for pound, I think those moves look solid, but I'd also consider Shaw to a City defender.

    would Laporte be worth the risk? if not, are there any other decent defensive options at 5.5 or below?

        Cheaper, but Laporte is so attacking that he is worth the extra imo. And Christensen is rotated also.

      I was considering Alonso to Laporte next week, but I bought Jesus and already have Dias and Cancelo. I think he is the best option at that price, but the fear of Stones is the issue.

      For free next week imo. Even though Chilly was taken out after 60 mins, it might have been longer term plan to keep him fresh and manage his minutes. There is still perhaps about 30% chance that Alonso starts vs Nor. There are possiblr tactical reasons for it to happen now.
