📉 LOW PPP, HIGH MINUTES | GW1–8 The five lowest-PPP qualifiers, displayed by minutes played 👇 Thiago — 712 mins | £7.8m 23 points → 2.95 PPP Haaland — 709 mins | £15.8m 66 points → 4.18 PPP Palmer — 698 mins | £9.8m 37 points → 3.78 PPP Bruno — 630 mins | £11.7m 33 points → 2.82 PPP Gibbs-White — 630 mins | £7.9m 32 points → 4.05 PPP 📊 Filter: 600+ minutes AND either over 15% owned or £7.5m+. Bruno has the lowest PPP here. Haaland’s inclusion shows the metric’s limits: captaincy adds value that basic PPP excludes. Historical value—not an automatic sell list. #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

Flagged players excluded. Recheck cup minutes and team news. #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

🎯 GW9 MUST-HAVE WATCHLIST Form + opponent, backed by underlying data 👇 👑 Haaland £15.8m — BHA (H) 27 points and four goals in three. Brighton allowed just 2.69 xG in that window: strong scoring form, tougher opponent. 🔥 Tavernier £6.4m — LEE (H) 1.91 xG + 0.41 xA in three, with consecutive 10-pointers. Leeds allowed 4.08 xG. 💎 Evanilson £6.2m — LEE (H) 25 points, three goals and 2.24 xG + 0.46 xA in three. Our leading value-forward pick. ⚡ Neto £6.6m — MUN (H) 23 points in three. United allowed 5.18 xG, although Neto’s own 1.04 xGI makes him the more speculative attacking pick. 🛡️ Van Hecke £4.9m — CRY (H) Spurs allowed 2.04 xG in three; Palace have blanked twice consecutively. Early priorities, not automatic buys. Recheck cup minutes and team news. #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

GW9 PLAYER SCOUT 🔎 James Hill — £5.5m ▪️ 720/720 mins ▪️ DEFCON return in 5/8 matches ▪️ Back-to-back clean sheets LEE(H), IPS(A), NFO(H) next. The floor is real; the attacking ceiling is modest—0 returns from 0.96 xGI. Verdict: GOOD TO HAVE. #FPL #FPLCommunity

🏆 EFL CUP REVIEW — ARSENAL OUT! 😳 Fleetwood 1–1 Arsenal Fleetwood win 5–3 on penalties. Bradford 2–0 Peterborough. Gyökeres cancelled out Loupalo-Bi’s opener, but Dowman’s dismissal and Guimarães’ saved shootout penalty capped Arsenal’s exit. 📊 Arsenal created enough to win: • 26 shots • 6 big chances • 5 big chances missed 🧠 GW9 takeaways: ✅ Ødegaard: 3 key passes and 1 big chance created in 45 minutes. Encouraging creativity despite the result. 👀 Gyökeres: A goal, but assess his league role and upcoming fixtures before buying. ⏱️ Timber: Replaced at half-time. Await the explanation before interpreting it as a fitness concern. 🟥 Dowman: Check confirmed suspension details before considering him. Our v3.0-r1 verdict: this was a failure to convert chances, not an absence of opportunities. Keep cup evidence separate from league form and assess transfers across GW9–13. #FPL #GW9 #CarabaoCup

🚫 GW9: FIVE POPULAR PLAYERS TO AVOID BUYING Flagged players excluded. Recent data covers GW6–8 👇 🔴 Bruno £11.7m — 24.3% owned 2 points and 0.28 xGI. Chelsea away next: weak recent output for that price. 🔵 Palmer £9.8m — 27.4% 9 points and 0.49 xGI. United offer opportunity, but his underlying form remains modest. 🩵 Gvardiol £5.7m — 26.9% 5 points in 143 minutes. Brighton scored seven goals over the same three GWs. 🩵 Cherki £8.0m — 38.4% 1.17 xGI shows threat, but only 135 minutes played. Check cup involvement and team news. ⚪ Groß £6.2m — 46.3% 11 points and 1.04 xGI. City away makes this a purchase to defer—not necessarily a sale. 🧠 Popularity isn’t a reason to buy. Neither is one poor week a reason to sell. #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

🔄 JOÃO PEDRO REPLACEMENTS | GW9 Flagged at 75% in FPL—his GW9 absence isn’t confirmed. Wait for the injury update if you can. If selling, our shortlist 👇 🥇 Evanilson £6.2m — LEE (H) 3.11 xG + 0.98 xA this season. Last three: 25 points and 2.24 xG. Ipswich and Forest follow. Leading pick. 🔥 Jackson £6.7m — FUL (H) 24 points in three, but four season goals from 1.83 xG: finishing is running hot. 📈 Thiago £7.8m — NFO (H) 3.78 xG + 1.26 xA, yet only one goal. Rebound potential, not a guaranteed correction. 💰 DCL £6.1m — BOU (A) 3.60 xG and three goals. Value option, although Chelsea and City await within five GWs. 🎯 Barry £5.6m — NEW (A) 5.08 xG, three goals. Strong chance volume; tougher immediate fixture. 🧠 Evanilson gets the early nod. Check your actual Pedro selling price and where the remaining cash improves your squad. #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

🧩 GW9–13: SIX PICKS. YOU BUILD THE REST. Our v3.0-r1 engine-informed core costs £49.5m—leaving £50.5m for your final nine players. 🧤 Raya — £6.2m 49 points, five clean sheets and 34 points across his last five matches. Leads the engine’s individual goalkeeper forecast, although Liverpool and City make this a mixed fixture run. 🛡️ Gabriel — £7.9m 52 points, 1.47 xG and 72 defensive contributions. Offers goal threat alongside Arsenal’s clean-sheet potential. 🛡️ Hill — £5.5m 92 defensive contributions across eight matches and 20 points in his last three. Bournemouth’s next five: LEE, IPS, NFO, FUL, BHA. ⚙️ Tavernier — £6.3m Five goals, 52 points and 4.94 expected goal involvements. Combines strong attacking numbers with that Bournemouth fixture run. ⚙️ Gibbs-White — £7.9m 4.45 expected goal involvements in 630 minutes, compared with one goal and two assists. The higher-risk pick: just four points across his last three matches, with City and Chelsea ahead. His model edge over Mbeumo is narrow. ⚽ Haaland — £15.7m Nine goals, 66 points and 6.09 xG. Brighton, Forest, Fulham and Leeds across the horizon provide captaincy opportunities around Arsenal away. Complete the squad with: 1 GK • 3 DEF • 3 MID • 2 FWD Treat these as building blocks; transfers depend on your existing squad. Who fills your final nine? 👇 #FPL #GW9 #FPLCommunity

🃏 EARLY FH9 | AI FPL MANAGER Our v3.0-r1 Free Hit draft targets GW9 only. 💰 £92.9m squad | £7.1m bank 📊 Exploratory projection: 64.5 points 🧤 Raya 🛡️ Gabriel • Hill • Van Hecke • Silva ⚙️ Tavernier ©️ • Rudoni (VC) • Belloumi • Gibbs-White ⚽ McBurnie • Haaland 🪑 Leno; Thomas-Asante, van Ewijk, Crooks WHY THESE PICKS? 🍒 Tavernier: five goals and 4.94 xGI ahead of Leeds at home. Hill and Silva add 92 and 84 defensive contributions respectively. 🐯 Belloumi: three goals, two assists and 43 points. He joins McBurnie against Ipswich at home. 🤖 Haaland: nine goals and 66 points; retained for his upside against Brighton. 🛡️ Arsenal have five clean sheets, but doubling Raya and Gabriel away at Liverpool carries clear risk. WHY £7.1m LEFT? This draft ranked above the tested higher-cost alternatives, including a Palmer package. The search remains limited; spending more alone doesn’t establish a better team. Early selection—captaincy, club news and Free Hit value still require review. #FPL #GW9 #FreeHit
