FPL Draft GW9 Waiver Picks - TOP TARGETS, Trade Tips & DEFCON
Show notes
Who are the BEST FPL Draft waiver picks for Gameweek 9? With pressure mounting on the managers at Manchester United and Crystal Palace, potential changes could have major implications for your Fantasy Premier League Draft team.
This week on The FPL Draft Zone, we identify the best GW9 waiver targets, uncover overlooked players, analyse the latest DEFCON statistics and reveal three players worth exploring a trade for.
Whether you're hunting for a game-changing midfielder, a reliable DEFCON defender or a forward ready to explode, we've got the stats, fixtures and analysis to help you get ahead of your draft league rivals.
THIS WEEK'S BIG TALKING POINTS:
OSCAR BOBB – A breakthrough attacking return, four chances created and encouraging underlying numbers.
JULIO ENCISO – First goal of the season and among the leading midfielders for expected assists.
RAYAN – A goal against Manchester United and promising expected goal involvement – is he about to explode into life?
MAMADOU SANGARÉ – The DEFCON monster does it again with 20 contributions against Hull City.
WILL OSULA – An attacking return for Newcastle's emerging forward – is it time to wave goodbye to Wissa?
ILIMAN NDIAYE – Four assists already this season – is he fast-becoming first choice at City?
FPL DRAFT TRADE TARGETS
Is now the time to buy low on some big names from struggling sides Manchester United and Crystal Palace?
We assess Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha and Jean-Philippe Mateta, comparing their recent Fantasy points with their underlying xG, xA and xGI to identify potential trade opportunities.

Manchester City Found GUILTY - What Does It Mean For FPL Draft?
Show notes
Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules - but what happens next, and how will it impact your FPL Draft team?
In this special, we break down the potential fallout from the Manchester City charges - and what possible punishments could mean - not just for City, but for the entire Premier League and FPL.
Could City face a massive points deduction? Could they be relegated ot even expelled from the Premier League? What happens to their remaining fixtures? Could the number of relegation places change? And what would happen to City's players if the punishment they received was particularly brutal?
We look at:
⚖️ What Manchester City have actually been found guilty of
📉 The possible points deductions and sporting sanctions
🚨 Could Manchester City be relegated or expelled?
📅 What could happen to Premier League fixtures and results
🔄 The potential impact on City players and transfers
🏆 What it could mean for the rest of the Premier League
There are still major steps to come, and the sanction has not been decided. Manchester City continue to plead their innocence, and have said they will appeal, and the scenarios discussed are possibilities rather than predictions.

What Pre-Season REALLY Told Us About FPL Draft
Show notes
Pre-season is over. The evidence is in. Now comes the bit that matters - what does it means for your FPL Draft?
We got through all 20 Premier League clubs and deliver our pre-season verdicts, picking out the players who have forced their way into the conversation ahead of draft night.
For every team, we flag the star players of pre-season, question whether one prominent performer will actually get minutes once the competitive action begins, reveal our FPL Draft Gamble, and identify One to Watch - a player who won't make your draft-night squad but could become a factor as the season unfolds.
Who has genuinely improved their draft stock?
Who are we being sucked in by?
And which names should be on your watchlist?
The final clues are in. DRAFT NIGHT IS COMING.
I've also teamed up with Draft FC and my top 150 rankings are now part of their pre-season pack.
