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.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Casual

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Granville & Mark were arguing about this stuff before Nwaneri was a dirty thought in his father's head.

        Make us all feel VERY old today!

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years

      It's probably older than Saka too

  7. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance of a bp for Saka?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, Jesus passing BPS was maximum!

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

    Good start to Saka over Jesus.

    Hopefully Jesus gets booked vs Liverpool!

  9. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really not sure about selling Jesus now...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd sell on a WC.

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

      I am sure regardless, can always buy back later

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

      If I WC, will sell.

    4. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rather keep Jesus over Martinelli if I keep any of them...

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just happy to (hopefully) avoid red arrow, Saliba my lucky star for now ...

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

      He is our beauty !!! I became such a huge fan !!!

  11. ljuta zena
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Seems like Gabri is target for transfer out, for nxt 4 games at least...

  12. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    First decent week in forever it feels like

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How many pts?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        65

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It is literally first decent GW for me this season, 69, no hits, WC and FH intact

    3. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I got to 66 with no hits & no WC. I am down at 5.5M rank and 150 off where I want to be so I’ll take it but quite a way to go!

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

    FInal bonus points?

  14. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any bonus for Saka?

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

      0. You can see it in the FPL site.

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

        Cheers. Thought he would sneak 1.

  15. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks a lot Jesus, stopped me reaching 60 pts all out, absolute waster

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

    Isak over Jesus success but don't tell early non-WC gloaters.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      People with both are the real winners 😉

  17. anish10
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Zaha or Saka on WC (no Jesus)

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am going Zaha and Martinelli

  18. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Did Jesus just lose 3 points for that YC?

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

      2

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

      2, on a bap

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sadly only 2.

  19. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    He's only getting better and better. Go on Saka! ❤

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

      Yeah, he will be first in my team after BGW12 unless injured

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

    Saliba (41)
    Fábio Vieira (31)
    Jesus (30)
    Saka (28)

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

      Little bit strange Saka not to be higher in the bonus points after he had a great game

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    68 will take that after a few shockers, nicely setup as well

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      62 for me, and still got my WC to use. Normally I’ve played it by GW 4 or 5.

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

      If Son is in the team then yeah congrats! I've got no Son no hits from GW1 WC is coming ... 59 pts this week 😛

  22. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    God, Jesus is so dumb

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

      he is emotional, just as plenty of south Americans are. i understand him

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

    Saka was coming toward the end of his second year in primary school when Nwaneri was born, by my calculations!

  24. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Brought in Emerson on WC. Looks like he is a non starter in the PL as long as Cresswell is fit.

  25. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    72 incl BPS...post WC scores are mostly enjoyable

    • 10 Years

      • 11 Years

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No intl duty for Arsenal’s Brazilians

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