Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: Key Players and Insights ahead of Gameweek 9

#11 Leicester City

Time for Jamie Vardy's party?

Best Pick: Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) is now retired from international football but still seems to be at his very best. He has shown good consistency in previous seasons and might be a really good pick.

Good to Have: James Maddison (£6.9m) is the chief creator behind Vardy, and is also on set pieces. He is the glue which holds the midfield together.

Potential Trap: Leicester have some good attacking defenders, like Ricardo Perreira (£5.1m) and Ben Chilwell (£5.0m), but lack of clean sheets prospects suggest that they are not worth the investment.

#12 Liverpool

Best Pick: Liverpool are renowned for their attack-minded play, but their defence is probably 2nd best in the league. Coupled with the threat for assists and attacking returns, Andrew Robertson (£6.3) is the standout pick for me in this team.

Good to Have: Mo Salah (£12.8m) has been trying his best, but his finishing in front of the goal has been poor the entire season. He might still give you the attacking returns if you are rich enough to afford him.

Mo Salah has not lived up to the expectations, but his goal threat is still present

Potential Trap: Liverpool midfield will soon be prone to rotation, so avoid players such as Milner and Wijnaldum despite attractive pricing.
