Fantasy Premier League 2019/20 – GW9 – Welcome Back!
The Hare and the Tortoise
The tortoise continues to plod slowly to victory with 40 points this week, impressive under the circumstances, far outstripping the Hare’s 27.
Wesley and Mount were the big scorers for the tortoise, while the hare only had a return from Abraham, and the likes of Son, Bernardo Silva, Salah and Aguero all fell flat. This week’s top scorer was Traore, so the Hare will end up with 2 Wolves players… At least they’ve got good fixtures!
This week more than ever it’s important to wait for the press conferences so we can find out which yellow flags are simply a case of ‘international duty-itus’ and which are legitimate injuries, so I’ll be making most moves on Friday night.

The Tortoise is smashing it, got 40 points (440 overall) thanks to Wesley & Mount, the Hare is falling further behind with just 27 (384 overall), only Abraham returned points! #FPL #GW8 #SlowAndSteady pic.twitter.com/1DmRfqbDaU
The Top Flight Mini-League
No change at the top of the league as Matthias Mizi has built up a respectable lead and managed a middling 36 points thanks to Kelly, Lundstram and Mount.
The top scorer in the league this week was Justice Mensah of Ghana with an impressive score of 68! His Chelsea triple of Kante, Mount and captain Abraham all came up with points, while Mane and a Palace double up of Kelly and Ayew also helped.
It could have been even better as he (justifiably) started De Gea (2) instead of Ryan (7), but Man United were a disappointment while Brighton kept out a lacklustre Spurs side!
