FPL Gameweek 9 – head-to-head comparisons: Kai Havertz vs Hakim Ziyech

Kai Havertz (£8.3m) didn't feature in Gameweek 8 due to injury as the German star continues to adapt to life in the Premier League. Hakim Ziyech (£8.2m) has certainly had his fair share of injury problems since arriving at Chelsea, but the former Ajax man is clearly over them now, having recorded three assists and a goal in his first two league starts for the Blues.

Chelsea travel to Newcastle in Gameweek 9 and whilst Havertz faces a question mark over his match fitness, Ziyech is expected to start. The latter is clearly in good form and even priced marginally cheaper than Havertz. At some point, the former Bayer Leverkusen midfielder is sure to come good, but we cannot wait around for that here when you have Ziyech getting better with every game for Chelsea. 25 FPL points in two Premier League starts simply cannot be ignored.

Verdict: Hakim Ziyech
