Gameweek 8 continues with Everton hosting West Ham United at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Everton, who have made a good start to the season under Rafa Benitez, make two changes from the side that drew at Old Trafford in Gameweek 7.

Yerry Mina (£4.9m) is benched after his late return from Colombia, with Seamus Coleman (£4.9m) replacing him in the starting XI, while Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) also comes in for Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) further forward.

Andros Townsend (£5.6m), who has been involved in eight goals in all competitions since his summer move, starts on the right, with Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) leading the line in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and Richarlison (£7.4m), who both miss out due to injury.

As for West Ham United, David Moyes makes just one change from Gameweek 7, with Ben Johnson (£3.9m) stepping in for Vladimir Coufal (£4.9m), who missed the international fixtures through injury.

Ryan Fredericks (£4.4m) also misses out again with a groin problem.

      That's so weird. I opened my ipad and the webste just exploded on the spot

        I exploded my spot and my Ipad opened up the dark Web.

    It feels like FFS leave a big break between the last article on Saturday and first on Sunday. I guess the argument is that there is little help to be provided at that part of the week - the gameweek matches being only half way through. But in terms of activity, it says it all that the last article had over 2,000 comments.

    Gray so dangerous again.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Still won't get any points

    2. Jafooli

      Yeah the Permalink is gray and annoying…

  5. Thanos

    As expected, Iwobi is useless

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 11 days ago

      How is he a footballer?

      1. Thanos
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Beats me

  6. g40steve
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Sorry but Iwobi is Shite!

    1. Thanos
      5 years, 11 days ago

      It's just surprising that he can still start matches! Shouldn't even be on the bench!

    2. liner
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Iwobi is useless and cant bealive that Arsenal sacrificed Gnabry because of him...

    @PabloFornals - I’m ready for that parting gift haul, bud.

  8. Dynamic Duos
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Antonio to Toney? And Marcal to Azpi worth a -4?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Possibly. Almost impossible to call that one. So maybe hold.

    2. Nomar
      5 years, 11 days ago

      At this rate, yeah

    3. Amartey Partey
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Yes. Antonio is almost as bad in front of goal now as Lukaku.

  9. jack88
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Iwobi is so.....

    1. The Sociologist
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Open controls?

  10. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Menus don’t work on mobiles. I’m assuming the mods will add a hot topic soon explaining what’s up.

      Not much we can say. We've let the tech teams know, but we don't know much more than you.

      1. Lanley Staurel

      1. g40steve
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Been happening for weeks since the hack?

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Was there any comment by owners on that hack?

        2. Rotation's Alter Ego

          5 years, 11 days ago

          The FFHub hack? Nah. First time we saw the problem was Friday evening, wouldn't be surprised if it was linked to the various updates that went up on Thursday.

  11. tbos83

  17. Manani
    5 years, 11 days ago

  18. Nomar

  21. g40steve
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Can we have a Poll on FFS re spending funds on articles no one cares about or investing in infrastructure?

    The site has become rubbish to use this year!

  22. The Philosopher
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Seems the controls have been opened. Wish you well, folks. See you on the other side.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      5 years, 11 days ago

      What does this mean?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        5 years, 11 days ago

        It's like going into a black hole. No one knows for sure the effects.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I mean I don’t know what open controls means

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            5 years, 11 days ago

            It’s a bug where next to the 3 expand dots it shows the text “Open Controls” and the sidebar buttons etc don’t respond

            1. THE Wild Rover
              5 years, 11 days ago

              A mobile phone thing?

                It’s not doing it for me atm, but it was Friday - I’m on iPhone

            5 years, 11 days ago

            When the site gives up the will to live, desktop users get greeted by Permalink, mobile users get "open controls" I think

            1. THE Wild Rover
              5 years, 11 days ago

              Ah thanks, I don’t use the site on mobile.

          5 years, 11 days ago

          It's actually the Wernhole. This is what happens when you bring in Werner.

    Just sat here patiently waiting for my Allan hattrick off the bench, I'm sure it will happen.

    5 years, 11 days ago

    Antonio’s just an expensive Traore.

      5 years, 11 days ago

      Life would be dull if we all got what we wanted.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 11 days ago

        It’s also full when you get nothing you want lol

          5 years, 11 days ago

          true, haha

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Surely the other way around? 😉

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 11 days ago

        That’d be nice yes, but also former more likely

  29. Oliver Tockman
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Keep Cancelo or Dias?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Both? What’s the urgency to get rid?

      1. Oliver Tockman
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Need to lose one to afford Grealish -> De Bruyne upgrade

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Assuming Pep prioritises the CL this year (City not won it yet), then I’m interested to know who will be the players that are rested in the Prem.

          You’d have thought KdB is central to City success in the CL.

      Yes
