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.

The latter returns having missed three Premier League matches, a period which has seen Arsenal fail to keep a clean sheet, conceding five goals.

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.

    Nightmare game this for wildcarders.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would def take the Jesus 6 pointer. He's the main concern. A goal could be an additional 7 point damage

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2nd Emerson that is benched this GW

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ha same

  6. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If we could just add a Martinelli goal, Jesus assist. This would be perfect

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This

    2. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes please

  7. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Phew! Was so close to going Emerson over Coufal.

  8. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I do not like these bright green sabatons

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Luminous colours discouraged in jousting tourneys?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Tis peacock-like behaviour of the tourney knights!

  9. Ode
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Couldn’t decide between Maddison, Saka and Bowen on WC so I picked them all, hopefully Bowen won’t dissapoint me now

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice. I was looking at Saka over Zaha for mine but didn't want to book the transfer.

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That’s my plan, getting Zaha for Saka after next gw

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Got Maddison an Bowen on w/c team, which is only couple pts better off maybe than my previous team!

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli has been quiet today

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Missing that chance early on, ruined his confidence for the game imo

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Asmir Begovic starts. Brings those nostalgia FPL feelings

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Current baps:

    Saliba (39)
    Saka (31)
    Gabriel (29)
    Fábio Vieira (28)
    Jesus (27)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice

  13. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Calma Calma Toney would score a brace

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He won't even get an assist. Arsenal look strong.

  14. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saka almost

  15. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Raya 3 saves

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      it's the small things in life!

  16. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Take Saliba off, looks tired.

  17. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Raya save point!

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    5 players from Arsenal are great picks

    Saliba Gabrial Jesus Martinelli and Saka

    Who do you get GW 12 onwards?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not Gabriel

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bps magnet and decent goal threat. I think he’ll top Saliba over the whole season

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Saliba seems to have overtaken him for being the defensive bps magnet though, lots of passes and seems to be good for shots too

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saliba, Saka, Jesus

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      S & S

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      GW13?

      Nothing has really changed for me. Jesus & Martinelli going nowhere.

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    With bps, Saliba is on 44 points for the season. Next highest is Cancelo on 42. Pretty amazing value!

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Always a few 4.5 who do well. White last season was great value last season yet nobody really picked him

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How was White great value? 107 isn't a lot of points. Just checked the first 4.5 def I could think of, Anderson, and he got 124pts with only 34 extra minutes

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's the best value player in FPL at the moment even before the 3 baps.

  20. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gabriel satellite

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    West Ham United: Fabiański, Coufal, Kehrer, Zouma, Cresswell, Souček, Rice, Fornals, Lucas Paquetá, Bowen, Antonio
    Subs: Areola (GK), Benrahma, Cornet, Dawson, Downes, Lanzini, Ogbonna, Emerson, Scamacca.

    Everton: Begović, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Onana, Gueye, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon, Maupay
    Subs: Jakupović (GK), Coleman, Keane, Doucouré, McNeil, Davies, Vinagre, Rondón, Garner



    Referee: Michael Oliver

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      someone needed to post it for the record!

    2. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers mate

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Scared of this game. Plenty of ownership in this game, and I only own Patterson. Already regret not buying Paqueta now i'm down to 10 men. And my rival bought Gordon. Ruh roh

  22. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Show me you still have it Antonio

  23. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If the score stays like this, that’s an impressive away win. Tough ground.

    United got bent over there.

  24. Trust the process
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What should I do here

    Pope
    Trippier cancelo James
    De bruyne Andreas zaha gross

    1. THFC4LIFE

      Gross to Maddison

    2. cigan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Andreas to JWP or ASM

  25. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Started this season with Saka Son and Cancelo, owned none of them this week lol

  26. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This has been an amazing performance from Arsenal. Dominant in possession, defending and attacking well. Away from home too.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Plus, a great turnaround from the same fixture just over a year ago.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Top of the table

  27. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli haul

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli has to go I think

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Been great all season. Two blanks: "OMG SELL SELL SELL"

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's crazy. Who is better at that price point?

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          This one is for you Granville.
          I've got just enough for Martineli to Son for -4
          I've already done Jesus to Isak this week.
          Should I do it ?

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No chance I'm selling. But knock yourself out

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Difficult fixtures and a blank coming up.
        Son will either return or at least I should get a price gain .

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ok well not many of us have that kind of money itb to be able to make a direct comparison between Martinelli & Son...

          From my perspective, I don't see anyone near Gabi's price that I'd prefer & don't want to miss out on any of the fixtures just next to the blank (lee sou NFO), or lose the value I have tied up in him (bought at 6) just for the sake of moving him out for a week or 2.

  29. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal probably gonna lose this cs with Partey off

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Aw nearly

  30. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago
