<h2>FPL Gameweek 9-13 fixtures</h2>
<p>Chelsea top the Hub's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> with an enticing run of matches up to Gameweek 13.</p>
<p>Sunderland (H), Wolves (H) and Burnley (A) are three targetable fixtures, although it gets tougher in Gameweek 10 and 13 against Spurs and Arsenal.</p>
<p>West Ham were top last week but their fixtures remain strong, offering Nuno Espirito Santo something to build on after a disappointing defeat to Brentford on Monday.</p>
<p>Arsenal and Crystal Palace remain teams to target, while at the other end of the ticker the run for Leeds, Liverpool, Burnley and Newcastle looks less favourable.</p>
<p>Gameweek 12 is the turning point for Liverpool, by which point many FPL managers will be looking to bring their players back into their lineups.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 9-13 predicted points</h2>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>remains top of the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI predicted points</a> chart, with a healthy lead over the next five gameweeks.</p>
<p>A significant gap has emerged between him and <strong>Mohamed Salah</strong>, who is around six predicted points behind the Norwegian.</p>
<p><strong>Jean-Philippe Mateta </strong>leads the chasing pack but it's tight between him and the increasingly popular <strong>Bukayo Saka</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel's </strong>presence in the top 10 underlines his all-round potential, with Arsenal the strongest defence in the league.</p>
<p>Seven midfielders, two forwards and one defender make up the top 10.</p>

<h2>Should the Wildcard be played in FPL Gameweek 9?</h2>
<p>The Wildcard offers a chance for managers of teams riddled with injuries, under-performing players and picks with poor fixtures to refresh their squads.</p>
<p>Injuries aren't a major problem for the masses currently, with <strong>Cole Palmer </strong>the only flagged player above 10% ownership.</p>
<p>But those without Arsenal and Chelsea coverage for example could think about a Wildcard if they are low on free transfers.</p>
<p>Palace players can wait a week, with Arsenal (A) arguably the toughest fixture of the season - but they will be on many managers' radars from Gameweek 10.</p>
<p>Holding on to the Wildcard may therefore be a good strategy if possible but as ever, chip strategy is highly team dependent.</p>
