Playing as a number 10, his creativity and ability to create chances make him a valuable asset for your midfield. In fact, he ranks 2nd for xA this season among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/premier-league-barclays-era-deep-dive\/\">Premier League<\/a> midfielders. The Toffees have a nice run of fixtures where they&#8217;ll be expected to pick up points, so get McNeil in your team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Raul Jimenez (Fulham) \u2013 \u00a35.7m<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fixtures:<\/strong> Everton (A), Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (A)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why he&#8217;s a must-have:<\/strong> Jimenez appears to be rediscovering his pre-head injury form. He has scored four in his last five in the Premier League and ranks 4th for xG among forwards in the last 4 GWs. Add to that the fact that Fulham&#8217;s upcoming fixtures are quite favourable; Jimenez is a strong candidate to add to your forward line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few of the potential must-have picks that could help you score big points in Gameweek 9.
