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
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

    Did I miss an important memo?

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Carried over from GW 7?

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Nope - had two trades then too.

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

  14. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Non-chippers counting their pennies.

  15. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ward Prowse 1
    Neco 1 (max)

    Going swimmingly

  16. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not a bad tactic actually

    2. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  17. Z
    • 8 Years

  18. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months 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
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        occasionally?

  19. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    JWP about sums things up

  20. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Just noticing now that Richarlison is classified as a forward. Where have I been? Oh, well, there goes that plan!

    1. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This is his 2nd year sa FW

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

  21. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bailey battering Andreas 3-1

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Played him and benched Andreas

      Mega 2 pts gained

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I benched Andreas but I was lucky

    He played decent

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So Mitro is back to being an Fpl troll

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      3 years, 3 months ago

    3. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  24. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wishing for Henderson penalty save

  26. Will Kane
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Villa v Saints an absolutely terrible game. Two rank teams

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yeah, it's grade a sludge

  27. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Losing at home vs 2 direct opponent fulham bournmouth, forest in big trouble
