Gameweek 8 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at the earlier than usual time of 12:00 BST on Sunday, with Brentford v Arsenal.

For the visitors, Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko are both missing with calf injuries.

That means there is a first Premier League start for Fabio Vieira, while Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey also make the starting XI.

As for Brentford, Thomas Frank makes two changes to the side that beat Leeds United 5-2 in Gameweek 6.

Kristoffer Ajer makes his first appearance of the season, while Josh Da Silva is recalled.

Shandon Baptiste drops to the bench but Keane Lewis-Potter misses out.

    I saw an earlier post about Saliba being a differential
    I checked out defenders and noticed Dier is now a good differential.
    Not a very exciting big scoring player but only 6.5% ownership.
    Played 90 minutes in every game, £0.6m cheaper than Perisic.
    Scored a couple of goals & has been unlucky with the baps as both his goals came in high scoring games.

      They were his only goals in about 3 seasons but the new set piece coach has him hitting the near post and we seem to be targeting that method from corners, wouldn’t be surprised if he got a couple more goals and our defence will get better with Romero coming back to full fitness

        I remember when he first played in the Premier League.
        I think he scored 2 goals in his first 2 games.
        Everybody bought him in & he never scored again all season.

    Looking ahead to a potential GW10 wildcard and looking to change things up a bit. Thoughts on this?

    It Saliba gets the CS, he'll probably be the highest scoring defender in the game, pretty nuts for 4.5m
