Fantasy Premier League managers will have experienced another weekend of frustration or elation after some surprise results and plenty of eye-catching performances. With the international break on the horizon and plenty of injuries to key players from the first part of the season, now could be the time to think about a wildcard to bring in some in-form players and rebalance your squad. Here are five players we think could help you in gameweek 9 and beyond, regardless of whether you are thinking of a whole-squad overhaul or just a small differential gamble to catch up with your rivals. Ollie Watkins - Aston Villa, forward (8.1 m) While Villa’s three-match winning streak may have come to an end after a 1-1 draw with Wolves, Unai Emery’s star striker continued his impressive form with another assist. The 27-year-old has earned a recall to Gareth Southgate’s England squad and it’s easy to see why with four goals and four assists in his last four games. After the international break, Villa have an enticing run of fixtures against West Ham, Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and Fulham - three of which are at home - and the English striker should be highly coveted by many managers. Antony Gordon - Newcastle, midfielder (5.6m) If you’re looking to fund a move for Watkins in attack, the Newcastle winger could offer a budget-friendly option in midfield. Gordon sat out the Magpies’ clash with West Ham having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and so should be well rested by the time gameweek nine rolls around. Home fixtures against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth lie ahead in the next four and with one goal and three assists in his last three starts, it’s clear that Gordon is beginning to show the kind of form that warranted his big-money move from Everton last January. Tyrick Mitchell - Crystal Palace, defender (4.5m) Palace’s backline wracked up their third clean sheet in a row in gameweek eight and statistically are the fifth-best defensive side, conceding just 10.35 expected goals so far this season, a figure better than league leaders Tottenham and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Tyrick Mitchell has shown his capabilities going forward already this season - with an assist in the 3-2 win against Wolves - and could be a good long-term rotation option in defence. Tricky fixtures against Newcastle and Spurs are on the horizon in the next two gameweeks but the following home games against Burnley and Everton could offer the potential for returns. David Raya - Arsenal, goalkeeper (4.8m) With four Premier League starts in a row, it’s clear that Raya has usurped Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order at the Emirates. The Spaniard has made a promising start to life in an Arsenal shirt with three clean sheets in his first four games and is the cheapest starting goalkeeper out of the clubs currently occupying the top five spots in the league. Home fixtures against Sheffield United and Burnley feature in their next four games and with just 3.4% of managers owning the Arsenal shot-stopper, he could represent a smart differential pick for the weeks ahead. Pedro Neto - Wolves, midfielder (5.7m) After an upset victory over Man City and a well-deserved point against Villa, there are signs that Gary O’Neil may be beginning to find his footing with this Wolves side. A large part of that has been the form of Pedro Neto who has one goal and six assists in his last six games. The Portuguese international set up Hwang Hee Chan’s opener on the weekend and currently has the ninth-highest number of points out of all midfielders in the game, putting him above much-fancied assets like Moussa Diaby and Kaoru Mitoma who are both around 1m more expensive. Games against Bournemouth and Sheffield United - two of the league’s bottom three - await in Wolves’ next three fixtures so the in-form winger is certainly one to consider if you’re looking for an outside-the-box pick over the next few weeks.

Tiffany Gomas has spoken on camera for the first time since her 'not real' plane rant went viral earlier this year turning her into an unlikely online sensation. Speaking to TMZ, Gomas has appeared on camera for the first time since she was filmed ranting on an American Airlines flight earlier this year. Last week Gomas, a marketing executive from Texas was identified as the woman from the now infamous video where she demanded to be let off of the plane claiming "that motherf**ker back there is not real." Footage has since emerged of what supposedly caused the incident while Gomas also broke her silence teling the Daily Mail "so much of what's out there is inaccurate." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Now in a video for TMZ Gomas has given a more thorough apology to everyone that was onboard the flight that day and also declared that she has enjoyed a lot of the memes about her. In the 2-minute video she says that it is completely warranted that she is being called the "crazy plane lady." She adds: "As you know I have been unwilling to speak on the viral video but I do now feel that it is time. First and foremost I want to take full accountability for my actions. They were completely unacceptable. "Stressed or not, I should have been in control of my emotions and that was not the case. My use of profanity was completely unnecessary and I want to apologise to everyone on that plane especially those that had children onboard. Can't imagine going through that and trying to explain to your kid what in the world just happened. "We all have our bad moments, some far worst than others and mine happened to be caught on camera for the whole world to see multiple times." The video takes a lighter tone as she apologises for trying not to sound like Minnie Mouse adding that it has "been comical for everyone and I have enjoyed so many of the memes." She also calls the interest in her life "invasive and unkind." Gomas continues by saying that she hopes to use this experience to "do a little good in the world" and that her apology is accepted. The video ends on a message inviting people to join Gomas on her 'journey of promoting mental health and standing up against cyberbullying.' She has also launched her own website which still appears to be under construction. Have your say in our news democracy.
