    • Soccer

The FPL General is here ahead of a Friday deadline for gameweek 9 and the big story this week is Romelu Lukaku's injury, the General explores a range of potential solutions for replacing the Chelsea striker, as well his usual advice on transfers, captaincy and his team reveal.
All that plus these questions answered too:

Is Lukaku to Vardy the only option or should we look at other options for Lukaku replacements? 

Is it worth dropping Lukaku for a -4 if I've already made my transfers for the GW?

With Salah being the only in form premium option at the moment, is it viable to have one premium (Salah) and two 'light premiums' (Vardy and Son)?

Thoughts on Havertz given the Lukaku and Werner injuries?

Do I stick or twist on Ronaldo?

Is Aubameyang a worthwhile differential pick as a Lukaku replacement?

Eight gameweeks in, what are your general thoughts on Grealish as a fantasy asset?

What are your thoughts on a Leicester forward double up and have your thoughts changed since Daka scored 5 goals this week?

What about Edouard as a lower price striker option?

Thoughts on Jiminez as a captaincy punt against leaky Leeds?
