## Key points

- Bournemouth have an appealing run of fixtures for FPL managers.
- Haaland remains the standout captaincy choice.
- Consider selling Joao Pedro and Cherki; Jackson’s minutes are a concern.

## Summary

FPL Heisenberg recommends looking at Bournemouth players ahead of gameweek nine, with a home match against Leeds followed by a favourable run of fixtures. Marcus Tavernier is his preferred pick for his goal threat and creativity; Evanilson offers a budget forward option, while defender Antonio Silva appeals for defensive contributions. He advises against rushing to own three Bournemouth players.

Nicolas Jackson is also worth considering after scoring four goals in his past four league matches, though Aston Villa may limit his minutes as they manage European football and Brian Madjo returns from injury. Erling Haaland remains the recommended captain despite Manchester City’s recent defeat. Heisenberg suggests selling injured Joao Pedro and possibly Rayan Cherki, whose playing time is uncertain, while keeping Arsenal defenders through their difficult Liverpool fixture. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence during its discussion of Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures.
