Over half of the top 10k hoping for Grealish returns in final Gameweek 8 match

The Premier League signs off for a fortnight after tonight’s match at the Emirates, as Arsenal v Aston Villa brings Gameweek 8 to a close.

Kick-off in north London is at 19:15 GMT.

Jack Grealish (£7.4m) is the most-owned Fantasy Premier League player in this match, both overall and within the top 10,000.

A further 320,000+ FPL managers brought Grealish into their squads after his 15-point haul against Southampton, which lifted his overall ownership figure to 32.6%.

That figure stands at 57.85% in the top 10k.

The England international is part of a Villa side that shows only one change from Gameweek 7, with Trezeguet (£5.3m) replacing the injured Bertrand Traore (£5.9m).

The Arsenal team news is even more uncomplicated, as Mikel Arteta has named exactly the same line-up as he did in the win at Old Trafford.

That means that Rob Holding (£4.4m) keeps his place at the heart of the Gunners’ defence, with the fit-again David Luiz (£5.5m) only among the substitutes.

Holding is part of an Arsenal backline that is the meanest in the division this season, with Arteta’s troops conceding on just seven occasions in as many Gameweeks.

Villa had also started the season in excellent defensive form, keeping clean sheets in three of their first four matches of 2020/21.

The Villans are yet to concede a single goal on the road.

Seven goals have flown past Emiliano Martinez (£4.8m) in the last two Gameweeks, however.

Martinez faces his former club tonight and remains the most-popular goalkeeper in FPL, with just over one in four of us owning the Argentine.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Partey, Elneny, Saka, Willian, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Grealish, Barkley, Trezeguet, Watkins.

      Southgate is dumb not to build a team around Jack

    Bellerin, Watkins and grealish in this game. 15-20 points between them would be nice

    Son or J Rod for next GW only?

    One is going the week after so just need to decide who to play Son (MCI) or JRod (ful).

    Worth taking price changes into consideration as J Rod is going to drop again this eve..

    Thanks!

      Has to be Rod considering fixture I’d say

      Hamez no doubt, reason: FUL

    Foden ➡️ Jota too knee jerky or a decent move?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Decent

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Jota not nailed

    3. Nightcrawler

      Youre going to be looking to sell joya for the same reasons u want foden out

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do it

    Apart from DCL, there's no striker I want between £6.5m (Wilson) and £10.1m (Vardy).

    With premiums options like Kane, Aguero and Werner about to face fixture/rotation issues, does anyone advocate choosing three cheaper, value-for-money strikers?

    A long-term rotation of DCL, Bamford, Wilson, Antonio, Maupay, Adams and Watkins enables a heavy midfield and defence.

    Yes? No? Maybe?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  8. Nightcrawler

      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Think yourself lucky I have only had one C hit that worked, about five weeks ago Son 26.
      Rest of picks have been wrong, but team is full of decent returning players.

    3. The Wanton Trader

    Sterling to who for one week before I move for KDB?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bruno?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bruno to KDB 10? Yeah

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For a 1 week gamble before I presume a WC then Bruno sounds good

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling to Bruno then Bruno/Son to KDB the following week.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Either Bruno, or straight swap for KDB

  15. M2.0

    Is getting rid of Son and/or kane really worth a hit?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Have exact cash to do Son to Bruno before price change.... Would you ?

    Thinking to not doing move. Too risky 14 days before new game.

      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

    They just look for ANY excuse to disallow goals with VAR. It's supposed to be for clear and obvious errors ffs.

  29. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    that's not offside ffs

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    Jacky G essential, assy right off the bat! Boring Arteta will have a problem now, having to score 2 goals in one game!

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years

      Or not!
