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.

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

    How come I don't have -4 for my extra transfer this week?

    Did I miss an important memo?

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Carried over from GW 7?

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

        Nope - had two trades then too.

        Maybe FPL is having pity on me for taking -4 on a blank week?

  14. Drexl Spivey
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Non-chippers counting their pennies.

  15. Mr. O'Connell
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ward Prowse 1
    Neco 1 (max)
    Andreas 1

    Glad I benched Maddison for Andreas. Glad I recommended that to everyone else as well.

    1. Old Bull
      4 years, 1 month ago

    2. SamH123
      4 years, 1 month ago

  17. Z
    4 years, 1 month ago

  18. Stranger Mings

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

      There is a reason that he sells for 4.5

      It's like occasionally seeing fecal matter on a McDonalds sandwich. It's McDonalds!

      1. Wenger's Warriors
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 1 month ago

  19. TomSaints

  20. BeaversWithAttitude
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1. Z
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yah, probably. He's too miserable to make my side, so I never noticed!

  21. GENERATION X
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 1 month ago

    Villa v Saints an absolutely terrible game. Two rank teams

    1. Ser Davos
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yeah, it's grade a sludge

  27. Ser Davos
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Even picking a talisman (plus a team-mate) in a team scoring three goals doesn't guarantee points

    Jafooli is right. Why do we play? 😆

  28. OPTA FPL
    4 years, 1 month ago
