The top Fantasy Premier League picks for Gameweek 9

Why Nick Woltemade Is PERFECT For Newcastle
  • Here are the top 5 picks for Fantasy Premier League gameweek 9 ahead of the deadline at 18.30 BST on Friday, October 24.
  • Gabriel Magalhaes is a surefire pick but if you wanted a more cost-effective option, then Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi (£5.0m) is a player to be looked at. Only five defenders have scored more points than his 37 since gameweek 3.
  • In midfield, Enzo Fernandez (£6.7m) of Chelsea has come into form of late. He is joint-second for points gained in the last six gameweeks (38), and also appears to be Chelsea’s penalty taker in Cole Palmer’s absence.
  • Two good midfield differential picks come in the form of Leeds’s Sean Longstaff (£4.9m) and Yankuba Minteh (£6.0m) of Brighton. Longstaff has quietly impressed in Leeds’ midfield with 16 chances created this campaign, while Minteh has amassed 33 points this season with one goal, two assists and three bonus points.
  • Newcastle‘s Nick Woltemade (£7.4m) is in great form currently with four Premier League goals to his name this season, and is already becoming a talismanic figure for his new side.
