Gameweek 8 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins on Friday with two matches in the Midlands: Aston Villa v Southampton and Nottingham Forest v Fulham.

Both games kick-off at 20:00 BST.

Steven Gerrard makes two changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Manchester City in Gameweek 6, with Ashley Young and Philippe Coutinho coming in for the injured Matty Cash and Douglas Luiz.

That means Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins both start, despite feeling unwell during the week, alongside Leon Bailey, who continues on the right wing.

Southampton, meanwhile, make just one change, with Moussa Djenepo replacing Joe Aribo.

At The City Ground, Steve Cooper has reacted to his side’s 3-2 loss to Bournemouth by making three changes.

In come Willy Boly, Remo Freuler and Taiwo Awoniyi, with Joe Worrall, Cheikhou Kouyate and Jesse Lingard dropping to the bench.

Serge Aurier is still awaiting visa approval.

As for the visitors, Issa Diop starts alongside new signing Willian, but Antonee Robinson misses out through injury.

    C’mon Bailey there’s a Hattie you I can smell it!

      Some posts are the least deserving of being the first one

      1. Haalander

        Take it you don’t have him then

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 days ago

          It's the smelling the Hattie bit . Wrong in more than one way

          1. NorCal Villan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 days ago

            you put a greased naked woman on all fours, with a dog collar around her neck and a leash, and a man’s arm extended out up to here holding the leash, and pushing a black hat in her face to smell it – you don’t find that offensive? You don’t find that sexist?

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years

              It's your dreams I'm concerned about

      yeah

      don't understand all this gw9 wildcard talk.

      If your team is fine, no problem.

        Influencer narrative. Use it or lose it.

    Please score 9 goals tonight Villa - we are running out of time in 2022 for it now.

  8. 420king
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 days ago

    I can't believe I've been playing for like 8 years and still not 100% sure about price changes:

    I've had Bailey since he was 5.0. I'm on a WC now.

    Let's say I move Bailey to Gordon to catch potential price rises and later decide I want Bailey on my WC anyway.
    I would only gain 0.05 for every Bailey rise rather than 0.1 if I do not sell him at all during my WC?

    Is that correct?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 days ago

      no.

      you take every 0.1 fall and half of every 0.2 rise when you sell.

      1. 420king
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 days ago

        Are you sure? I think it's 0.1 evey rise until he reaches the price you bought him for?

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 days ago

      If you sell Bailey for current 4.7m then you effectively crystallise the 0.3m loss.

      If you sell him and buy him back at 4.7 and he ever rises back to 5.0 then your sell price would only be 4.8.

      If you keep him without selling him and he rises back to 5.0 then you will get 5.0.

      1. 420king
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 days ago

        That's what I thought but it seems not everyone agrees. Thanks.

        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 days ago

        Just took a punt on him,only want to play him on GW 8,11,12,thought Southampton got the better fixtures on that price range.

    Is there a shortcut to view your oppos transfers for the week like previous years? You’d simply look at their GW team and it’d show transfers made.
