In fact, the gunners are at the top of us Fecture ticker In the next 10+ game week:

Chelsea is also about to start a nice series of competitions (NFO/Sun/to/to/Bur), which positions several of their assets, such as Enzo Fernandez (£ 6.7 million), as prime transfer goals.

Gameweek 9 Bench Boost

In Gameweek 9, Leeds United (Whu) and Burnley (wool) have both favorable matchups, so this Yoker sign can be used to set up a bench boost.

Bench Fodder options such as Martin Dubravka (£ 4.0 million), Joe Rodon (£ 4.0 million) and Anton Stach (£ 5.0 million) may bloom.

If you don’t feel like the promoted teams, alternatives such as El Hadji Malick Diouf (£ 4.4 million) and Ladislav Krejci (£ 4.5 million) can be used instead.

Remove those who are injured during the international break

A standard international break is often a chaotic period when it comes to FPL flags.

Although many of these injuries ‘doubts’ are likely to be good to play in game week 8, there will certainly be a few exceptions.

By implementing the joker sign, we now effortlessly let FPL managers remove those injured during the international break.

In addition, with the gap between two weeks between domestic luminaires, yoker signs can not only respond to injuries from all over the world, but can also adjust and perfect their team for longer.

Switch to a back of four/five

Could this be a suitable time to play a back of four or even a back five formation?

Especially six of the top 10 points scorers in FPL so far this season are defenders.

The impact of defensive contributions (Defons) is clear, so assigning more budget to your backline can be a smart decision.

Rejuvenate your team

If you have not started properly, a game week 8 Yoker sign can help rejuvenate your team.

This can be beneficial if you own overdue players Florian Wirtz (£ 8.1 million), Ollie Watkins (£ 8.7 million) and Chris Wood (£ 7.4 million) or rotation risks such as Richarlison (£ 6.8 million).

A joker sign offers the chance to solve these problems in a free way.

Increase the team value

This international break is likely to see quite a few price increases and falls, so the team value can be improved by dumping the drops and jumping on band wagons such as Antoine Semenyo (£ 7.9 million) and Nick Woltemade (£ 7.2 million).
