Gameweek 9 was very exciting, football fans were treated to a Goal Festival; Salah, Mount, and Phil Foden were firing on all cylinders.
Shambolic Manchester United Defence was well exploited by Captain Fantastic, Mo Salah. The Egyptian Pharoah returned 24 points in the week, single handedly rescuing the Gameweek for multiple FPL Managers.
Before proceeding with the Scouts Selection for GW10, here are the Kings of Gameweek 9.
Returns like you wouldn't believe! 😱
It all clicked into place for GW9's #FPL Manager of the Week, Kojo Boateng 👏 pic.twitter.com/LbGwxWBfMM

Scout Selection: Chilwell part of Chelsea double-up
Ben Chilwell (£5.8m) has proven a huge success in Fantasy Premier League since making his first start of the season in Gameweek 7.
Replacing Marcos Alonso (£5.8m) as Chelsea’s left wing-back, the England star has scored in each of his three starts in 2021/22.
Chilwell has also returned two clean sheets, totalling 35 points in that period.
That form has made him the top target among defenders for Gameweek 10, giving him over 420,000 new owners ahead of the Blues’ trip to Newcastle United.
His team-mate Kai Havertz (£8.1m) is also selected against a Magpies side who are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
The German has scored in two of his last three matches in all competitions.
Chilwell and Havertz are included in a Scout Selection that lines up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) handed the armband and Phil Foden (£8.1m) named vice-captain.
Illan Meslier (LEE) £5.0m
The Leeds United goalkeeper has amassed nine save points in the opening nine Gameweeks. Meslier can also deliver a clean sheet against a Norwich City side who have scored only two goals this season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £7.6m
Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold offers multiple routes to returns at home to Brighton & Hove Albion. He has combined three assists with five clean sheets and nine bonus points, averaging 7.3 points per match.
Joao Cancelo (MCI) £6.4m
Level with Alexander-Arnold as the top-scoring defender on 51 points, Cancelo’s two assists and six clean sheets suggest the Manchester City full-back can profit at both ends of the pitch at home to Crystal Palace.
Ben Chilwell (CHE) £5.8m
Hauls of 15 and 12 points in the last two Gameweeks highlight his explosive potential.
Mohamed Salah (LIV) £12.9m
Owned by 69.1 per cent, the Egyptian will be the overwhelming captain favourite against Brighton. Salah has six sets of double-figure hauls already this season, blanking only once in the first nine Gameweeks.
Son Heung-min (TOT) £10.2m
The South Korean welcomes Manchester United on the back of a strong run of home returns. Son has produced double figures in three of his four appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this term.
Kai Havertz (CHE) £8.1m
The German is expected to continue in an advanced “false 9” role for Chelsea’s match against Newcastle.
Phil Foden (MCI) £8.1m
Along with Son, Man City’s midfielder could rival Salah’s returns this weekend. Foden has started each of the last four Gameweeks, producing three goals, two assists and 34 points in that run.
Michail Antonio (WHU) £8.2m
West Ham United’s talisman is the joint top-scoring forward in Fantasy on 57 points. Antonio offers strong all-round potential against Aston Villa. His 13 shots in the box and 13 chances created in the last four Gameweeks both rank second among all players.
Hwang Hee-chan (WOL) £5.7m
The South Korean is second only to Antonio for transfers in among forwards this Gameweek, earning 200,000+ new owners for his match against Everton. Hwang has three goals and 23 points in the last three Gameweeks.
Joshua King (WAT) £5.6m
The forward made an immediate impact in his first appearance under Claudio Ranieri for Watford last weekend, scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 win at Everton. King has three goals, two assists and 32 points in his last four matches.
