Dream Team bosses who prefer going against the crowd by selecting players ignored by over 95% of managers can look at several differential options for Gameweek 9.

Brian Brobbey (£3m)

Choosing a player from the team currently at the bottom of the league takes courage, but Sunderland has an advantageous double header for Gameweek 9.

The Black Cats visit struggling Coventry on Saturday before hosting Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday.

Brobbey holds an average of 5.6 points-per-game this season and serves as his team's main goal threat, having scored a hat-trick at the Etihad prior to a recent hamstring injury.

Only 4.2% of teams currently feature the Dutchman, and this small group of bosses expects strong returns in the upcoming Gameweek.

Midfield options include Granit Xhaka (£3.5m), Enzo Le Fee (£3.3m), and Nilson Angulo (£3.3m).

Sunderland plays Brentford later today, so managers should watch for availability issues.

James Hill (£3.4m)

Bournemouth number five James Hill stands out as the most in-form defender in the game, securing 32 points across his last three matches.

He delivered a strong display at Old Trafford, recording seven tackles, four blocks, four interceptions, and three bonus points alongside a clean sheet for a 13-point haul.

Marco Rose's squad has achieved four straight clean sheets, making Hill's 0.8% ownership rate surprisingly low.

Bournemouth hosts Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup tonight, followed by matches against Leeds (h), Sparta Prague (a), Ipswich (a), Nottingham Forest (h), Celta Vigo (a), Fulham (a), Brighton (h), Hull (h), and Viktoria Plzen (h) through mid-December.

Tottenham Punts

Tottenham lacks a second fixture in Gameweek 9, putting them at a disadvantage while nine teams play twice, but Roberto De Zerbi's team hosts Crystal Palace on Saturday in a favorable Premier League fixture.

Crystal Palace holds the worst defensive record in the top flight after conceding 19 goals in eight games.

Tottenham attackers like Mathys Tel (£2.9m), Mohammed Kudus (£4.2m), and Omar Marmoush (£4.4m) look forward to the match, with Marmoush owned by 1.5% of players.

Mateus Fernandes (£3.3m) is another option at 1.2% ownership following a strong performance against Chelsea.

Jan Paul van Hecke (£4.2m) averages 5.8 points-per-game, matching Josko Gvardiol (£5.3m).

Fixtures against Leeds and Ipswich follow the Palace game.
