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.

  9. Alan The Llama

    On the plus side, I bet on Fulham at 11/2 in the first half.

  10. Digital-Real
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I can see now why Bailey hasn't been a regular starter.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s definitely not shown any threat for sure he’s been very poor. Leading the stats for losing possession also

  11. F4L
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Forest 😆 😆

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    1. Botman and Robben
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't have him either.

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      4 years, 1 month ago

  13. Zladan
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fulham fully deserve this. They have battered Forest all game.

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t actually believe it!
    Mitro is no longer on fire. Sorry all

    Another player to add to my troll list

    1. JBG
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you're talking about Mitro, this is what he has always done..

  17. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Andreas, where are you man?

  18. Free Hat
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Easy to say in hindsight, but it baffled me people picking Henderson in goal.

    Saves maybe , but clean sheets were almost never gonna happen.

    1. Alan The Llama
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Needs penalty saves.

  19. Over Midwicket
    4 years, 1 month ago

    NFO are soooo bad. By far the worst defence in the league.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Madders gonna be mad next week

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      4 years, 1 month ago

      you haven't seen much of Leicester this season?

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, we are worse than them - unless our new bloke Raes completely changes it .

    4. Zladan
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They’re just a bunch of random footballers who have been told to meet up at a pitch and might get some game time.

  20. Feloh
    4 years, 1 month ago

    3-1 I thought Mitro would be in the points.

  21. pundit of punts
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kudos to Reed owners who resisted WCing and soldiered on

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This. I am not one of those.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sold for Bailey, which in Long term was a good decision but the way this season goes for me that was just inevitable. Could have just waited one week..

  22. OPTA FPL
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ffs neco seems to forget he is a defender

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He learnt from the best

      1. g40steve

  26. JBG

    3 goals for Fulham! Very excited as I just swapped in Mitro… The agony

  30. Gizzachance
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If I wasn’t a new mitro owner and seeing the score so far I would of been worried!
