The Gameweek 9 tips
Written Friday 30 October, 18:00 UK.
Updated Friday: the assist markets are now open for 354 players, so every number below includes assists as well as goals and clean sheets. Most assist markets come from one or two bookmakers, so treat the assist chances as a guide rather than a precise figure. The team news from Friday's press conferences is under Injuries, at the end. The deadline is Saturday at 11:00, earlier than usual, because Chelsea host Manchester United at 12:30.
