Arnautovic and Fabianski the key figures as Gameweek 8 kicks off

A large number of Fantasy Premier League managers are turning to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) and West Ham to kick-start Gameweek 8.

The Austrian forward, named in the starting line-up for the second week in a row, sits in 17.6% of Fantasy squads for a Friday night trip to Brighton.

Arnautovic is the most popular player in tonight’s fixture, but colleague Lukasz Fabianski (£4.5m) is not far behind with 13.5% ownership.

None of their Hammers’ team-mates are even close though. The third-most fashionable West Ham player is Felipe Anderson (£6.8m), owned by 2.6%.

Such is Fantasy interest in Brighton that their most popular assets aren’t even involved tonight.

Dale Stephens (£4.4m) and Markus Suttner (£3.9m) are both in a little over 5% of Fantasy squads but neither of them are in the matchday squad.

Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) has caught the eye in recent weeks but only 1.5% of Fantasy managers are in possession of him at time of writing.

Meanwhile, Glenn Murray (£6.5m) returns to the side after being rested for the Gameweek 7 trip to Manchester City.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION XI (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bong, Dunk, Duffy, Bruno; Jahanbakhsh, Propper, Kayal, Knockaert; March; Murray

WEST HAM UNITED XI (4-3-3): Fabianski; Masuaku, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta; Noble, Obiang, Rice; Anderson, Arnautovic, Yarmolenko

            He's stealing a living pal. Your not supporting the FPL community your funding the madness . Remember that grange hill song .... Just Say No. Eggerdors is a scam artist, a fake , a phony, a fraud he's the Dick Turpun of FPL with his BS patron site for his mask .he can't learn you anything about how to play. This come' s with experience. You will only better yourself if you play your own game and learn from mistakes and even then you need a lot of luck for a good season. Do FPL a favour and stop paying him

      How many people who watched his video last night followed his advice?

      Fraud is not the right word, but this is pretty disingenuous IMO.

          It's not that funny. I don't have a nice house like you see in the background of some FPL videos. Money is tight.

        The advice has been error-ridden if I'm being honest. Recommending unnailed (sometimes injured) players with no goal threat. Smacks of a lack of research.

          Just cancel your subscription mate. There’s “giving back to people who make time” but he seems to be getting a substantial wad without your contributions
