Top Fantasy Premier League 2024/25 Picks – Gameweek 9

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where players from around the world build a team consisting of 15 players. You get to field a team of 11 players each week and choose a captain. You can make transfers every week to bring in new players who seem to be in form. Your players give you points depending on their performance in the game and how crucial they were in helping their team get the result. This article talks about the captaincy picks and the best differential transfers you can do this week to finish at the top.

Top Captain Picks For Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 9:

Erling Haaland

Three blanks in a row for Erling Haaland, he faces the side with the second-worst defence in the league next 🔜

Despite his poor form, it's definitely best to hold the Man City forward for now, according to Sam Bonfield from @FPLFamily 🎙️#FPLPod

Erling Haaland has not scored or assisted in the last three games but still remains the top captain candidate. The Norwegian striker scored 10 goals in the first five games, showing everyone the kind of explosive goal-scoring form he is capable of. While he has blanked in the past few weeks, he places Southampton in Gameweek 9 of the Fantasy Premier League, giving him the perfect opportunity to get back to his goal-scoring form.

Cole Palmer faces Newcastle United in Gameweek 9 of the Fantasy Premier League. The Magpies have not had the best start in the Premier League this season, and Chelsea will go into the match as the clear favourites. Quite a lot of Chelsea’s attacking play is based around Cole Palmer, and if they do score some goals, it is likely that Palmer will be involved in it, making him a very good captain pick for this week.

Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins scored five goals and provided two assists in his last six Premier League games. The striker has gotten up to speed after a slow start and shows no signs of slowing down. Aston Villa faces Bournemouth in Gameweek 9, and they will hope to bolster their position in the top 4 even further by securing a win. It is likely that Watkins will be involved in the goals, and you can choose to captain the star striker this week.

Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min faces Crystal Palace in Gameweek 9 of the Fantasy Premier League. Palace currently sits 18th in the league, in the relegation zone. They have been very underwhelming this season, and it is likely that Tottenham Hotspur will dominate them. Son scored a brilliant goal last week and hopes to add to it this week against Crystal Palace. This can make him a very good differential captain for this week.

Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes only has two assists in the Premier League this season, but we still feel he can be a fantastic differential captain this week. Fernandes did not play mid-week because he was red-carded and will be very fresh. He is owned by just 6.7% of Fantasy Premier League owners, and taking the risk to captain Bruno Fernandes can end up benefiting massively if he performs against West Ham this week.
