Gameweek 8 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this afternoon, with Everton v West Ham United getting underway at 14:15 BST.

Frank Lampard makes two changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Liverpool in Gameweek 6.

Asmir Begovic comes in for the injured Jordan Pickford, while new signing Idrissa Gana Gueye replaces Tom Davies in midfield.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, however, fails to make the matchday squad.

As for the visitors, David Moyes makes one change, which sees Aaron Cresswell start at left-back.

That means £4.0m defender Emerson Palmieri drops to the bench.


GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Begovic, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Onana, Gueye, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon, Maupay

Subs: Jakupovic, Keane, McNeil, Doucoure, Coleman, Davies, Vinagre, Rondon, Garner

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Kehrer, Zouma, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Scamacca, Lanzini, Downes, Cornet, Dawson, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Emerson

    Can't remember the last good Sunday. Seems like I always get around 5 points 🙁

      Show off

      Just last Sunday you got joint top highest pts

      1. PogChamp
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Forgot about Trossard

    Ogbonna on translation duties

      Scouse to English !

  4. Mozumbus

    4 years, 12 days ago

    The person at the top now with 118 points look pretty legit
    entry 126321
    Son triple captain

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Crazy!

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      How so? Their rank and past history suggests this was just a fluke.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Fluke is ok, and then he captained Son quite a few times this season, so must be a fan, which is legit.
        Point is, this is not at least a team for one GW only, which is pretty common in the GW toppers most of the times. In fact, such teams look one out of infinite permutations which are not possible to imagine in the normal course, so casting doubt if they're even legit.

    Is Gordon banned now with his 4 YC?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Need 5

  6. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Scamacca on. Take Patterson off please!

  7. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Just cheking in. Strong Arsenal performance today. In the Everton match I have decided to have Patterson on bench and Emerson in my lineup. Could get lucky but think Emerson will get some minutes

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Not watching the game but read something about Patterson should have had the YC not Gordon?

  9. Mozumbus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    A note of thanks to folks here who suggested be Saliba at the start of the season!
    He's the only reason so far for me to cheer about in this disastrous season

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      *suggested me

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      You should all be embarrassed by your points from him tbh 😀

      1. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Why?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 12 days ago

          Pure luck to get those attacking returns. Ya'll bought him for his CS potential with no assurance he was going to be first choice, either.

          1. Mozumbus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 12 days ago

            I bought only because he was value at that price. Was hopeful he'll be nailed. Attacking returns have been a bonus yes.

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 12 days ago

              Yeah that's 15-22 points from attack. Only Chillwell has as many defender direct-attacking points. I don't think Saliba is great value without them, and there was nothing to suggest he would get them. And as you say, being nailed was just a hope. So it seems the definition of luck to me 😀

              1. Bushwhacker
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 12 days ago

                It’s a game of luck. Saliba was nailed to start because of Arsenal’s injury problem at right back. Wasn’t much of a punt in the short term.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Careful Deulo, heading into a certain user here speaking about a certain cheap Villa midfielder territory

        1. Mozumbus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 12 days ago

          What?

            1. Mozumbus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 12 days ago

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 12 days ago

            What if I say you're not like the others?

            1. Mozumbus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 12 days ago

              Then I'll get more confused lol

        yeah, but it's less than exciting so chess talk enters the fray!

      2. Mozumbus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        His only explanation was a cryptic video clip of the football manager José Morinho saying “If I speak I am in big trouble,” during a press conference about referees.
        Quote unquote

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 12 days ago

          Which bit is the quotation?

          1. Mozumbus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 12 days ago

            Haha
            There's a quotation within the quotes as well

      Feel like he's hit the woodwork at least 3-4 times this season

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.

        Still searching for the first goal

    Gordon off in a Flash

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I see what you did there

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    couldn't be any closer to a goal from Benrahma

  14. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Everton mad lucky to not concede.

  15. Sailboats
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Hopefully West Ham relegate

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Won't happen, but know what you mean.

      1. Vermeerish
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Moyes wants to see you down a dark alley too brandishing a quarter bottle of Teachers

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 12 days ago

          I don't think they do quarter bottles.

          1. Vermeerish
            • 17 Years
            4 years, 12 days ago

            Fair point how about a miniature

            1. Drexl Spivey
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 12 days ago

              Should do the trick.

        2. The Abyss
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 12 days ago

          Should be a few cats to kick down there as well.

    2. Vermeerish
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Hopefully all your sailboats get Pearl Harboured

      1. Sailboats
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        lmao

  16. lilmessipran

    Gerrard and Lampard keep their jobs for another week with 1-0 wins

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Lampard shouldn't even be put in the same league as Gerrard. He's had very little to work with, had to sell their best player, had no striker for months yet he's getting something out if Everton. Iwobi has been superb in his new role too which nobody else saw him doing

  17. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Scamacca, that was perfect for a bicicleta... Not enough skill.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      He looked soooo stiff trying to take the ball down there.

  18. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Patterson goal would be heaven

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Not happening on planet earth though

  19. TheJoker
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    1.5M ITB right now and I’m getting rid of Dunk. Should I go for Reece James or Fofana? Reece James would mean I have 0 left ITB but great attacking potential. If I go for Fofana I still have 1.6M left and a Chelsea starting defender at 4.4 but not the same attacking potential. So James of Fofana? Give me a few opinions on this one guys!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Depends where you put that 1.6m

    2. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      James

  20. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Saliba with another one of those flukes low xg goals today ?

    Probably shouldn't have sold...

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      If Brentford actually read "defending set pieces for idiots" and put a defender on the last post, that goal would have never gone in.

  21. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Begovic done well

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    69 with Haaland (C) and a major rank intresse is nice.

    Kane + Bowen over Son + Isak backfired though.

    With I had the balls to Captain Kane as well now that I had him.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Kane over Son was the right choice, but hindsight and all that.

    2. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      69 is lovely

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Rank increase

  23. FantasyTony
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    lol Moysey's as confused by that corner as I am

  24. No Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    On WC, Which Leicester player to go for other than Maddison?

    1. Volley127
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Iversen probably

      i’d avoid all except Maddison to be honest

    2. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Iversen or Ward for the bench

    3. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      None, just Maddison

    4. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Ward as 4.0 sub goalie.
      Can't justify selecting any others besides Maddison on current form.

    5. Arteta
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Justin could be good for attacking returns.

    6. No Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Ok! I have Maddison and ward on wc.

      What are your thoughts on tielemans?

  25. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Cornet ruining Bowen assist...

  26. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Bowen has been a threat tbf. Almost 2 assists and a goal bound shot blocked.

  27. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Not watching the game. WC active, so Bowen is a no-no from the WHU and individual performance?

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      He's not been awful, West Ham as a team just aren't clicking at all.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Bowen could have had a goal and a assist... Unlucky and as mentioned above, WH not clicking atm.

  28. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Pi** right off Cornet!!! You Burnley reject!

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      This

  29. The Philosopher

    How's this for a WC milf?

    Andreas Martinelli Maddison Salah Harrison

    *Salah probably becomes Son in 10

    1. Arteta
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Salah ain't worth it.

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        He uses L'Oréal though

      2. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years

        One week punt vs Brighton
