FPL Gameweek 8 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned

You’d have been lucky to avoid at least one of your players suffering a benching in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) on Saturday, with usual suspects Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel joined by plenty of others in throwing teamsheet curveballs aplenty.

Elsewhere on a busy day of FPL, Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) continued his red-hot form, Chelsea and Manchester City kept yet another clean sheet, and bargain-bin options Shane Duffy (£4.4m) and Tino Livramento (£4.2m) reminded us of their worth with solid defensive returns.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on from the day’s Gameweek 8 fixtures.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

INJURIES AND BANS

It was a fairly quiet day on the injury front, with few fresh concerns reported so far.

Marcelo Bielsa did however confirm after full-time that Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) had missed out through a combination of hip and calf issues, while Junior Firpo (£4.8m) was absent with muscle problems.

Anthony Martial (£7.6m) sat out Manchester United’s defeat to Leicester City with a minor injury picked up while on duty with France but teammate Harry Maguire (£5.4m) made a swift return to playing action – and probably wished he hadn’t.

THE THINGS WE LEARNED

PERMA-CAPTAIN SALAH?

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is 27 points clear of any other FPL player after his fifth double-digit haul of the season; he managed just six of those 10+ returns in the whole of 2020/21.

The Egyptian is a remarkable 35 points ahead of where he was at this stage in his record-breaking 2017/18 campaign and is now averaging over 10 points per match this season.

All of Liverpool’s front three were among the points in the 5-0 win over Watford but unfortunately for Diogo Jota‘s (£7.6m) owners, he wasn’t part of that attacking trio. His omission was all the more galling given that Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) scored a hat-trick of goals from point-blank range, central areas where Jota has been getting – and spurning – chances in recent weeks.

EVEN DIAS ISN’T ROTATION-PROOF

Only one ever-present starter remains among Pep Guardiola’s squad following Ederson‘s (£6.0m) anticipated no-show and rather less expected benchings for Jack Grealish (£7.9m) and Ruben Dias (£6.2m) on Saturday.

The rest for Dias was a particular bolt out of the blue as he was the mainstay of the City defence last season: the centre-half was a substitute in only one league match from his Gameweek 4 debut to Gameweek 30 (the point at which Guardiola started focusing on the Champions League and FA Cup, with the domestic title sewn up), and even that was because he had just recovered from illness.

Joao Cancelo (£6.2m) is the last man standing when it comes to bench evasion, having started all eight of the Citizens’ league fixtures in 2021/22.

He has racked up more clean sheets (six) than any other Fantasy asset and now sits top of the FPL defenders’ table on a half-century of points. Not only that but despite his premium price tag, he sits fourth for ‘value’ – a metric typically dominated by budget assets – when points are divided by cost.

RONALDO/LUKAKU ARE TESTING OUR PATIENCE

Three straight blanks for Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m), four consecutive two-pointers for Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m)… how different the Fantasy landscape looks now following the clamour to crowbar both strikers into our teams a month or so ago.

Lukaku huffed and puffed to no avail at Brentford and now has had just six shots in the last four Gameweeks.

Ronaldo’s opportunities have dried up a tad, too, and he hasn’t had a single Opta-defined ‘big chance’ in his last three outings.

Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) has outscored both of them combined now this season, and his strike against United was his fifth in four matches. No forward can better the Leicester veteran for shots or penalty box touches over the last four Gameweeks.

WHY RAPHINHA MISSED OUT

It was always going to be a tough ask for Raphinha (£6.6m) to start after racking up 71 minutes of pitch-time for Brazil on Friday morning and, in the end, the Leeds winger didn’t even make Marcelo Bielsa’s matchday squad, let alone the starting XI.

The Leeds boss said of his star midfielder after full-time:

“Raphinha, we had decided that he was going to fly after his game, without knowing how many minutes he was going to play on the Friday. In the end, he played 70 minutes, flew 15 hours and today at midday he wasn’t in conditions to take on board even a part of the game. Given that he wasn’t in conditions to respond, we didn’t risk because it’s possible in circumstances like this, injuries can occur.”

MBEUMO IS OWED SOME LUCK

Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) blanked in the late kick-off against Chelsea and despite two goals in the last four Gameweeks for the ‘out of position’ midfielder, his luck appears to be right out in 2021/22.

No Premier League player other than the Brentford attacker has hit the woodwork more than once this season – but Mbeumo has been thwarted by the frame of the goal on six occasions, twice on Saturday.

A total of 16 of his 19 shots have been technically off-target but it’s hard to chastise his finishing ability too much when we’re talking millimetres on those half-dozen occasions.

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 7

Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) and Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) were among the high-profile names who were on bench-warming duties on Saturday.

While the jet-lagged Mexican’s cause was helped by a limp Wolves attacking display from open play (Bruno Lage’s side scoring three times from set pieces late on), Armstrong’s owners would have been concerned to see Armando Broja (£5.0m) turn in a match-winning display in his stead.

Broja is top for shots in the box in Gameweek 8 so far, while no forward could better his total of 10 penalty area touches.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s rotation policy continues to bemuse but given his price and fine display, the Albania international is an intriguing prospect.

He’s long ceased to be an option for many of us but it’s worth highlighting Bruno Fernandes‘ (£11.9m) recent creativity, with his Gameweek-high total of seven chances created taking him to a total of 22 over the last four Gameweeks – that’s 10 more than any other player has managed.

      4. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I was watching Vardy against Man United and it was like watching Salah, every time he gets the ball you can hear the crowd getting excited because they think he is going to score.

    7. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I was in-between picking Dunk and Veltman this week 9 point difference actual pain.

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Let this be a lesson to everyone that sometimes the 0.7 more is worth it.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Dont judge a book by one week

          1. Randaxus
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Dunk has scored in the last 3 weeks 7/5/9 he is amazing and I am stupid for not picking him, I new I was an idiot and I thought it would bite me, and it did.

          2. Randaxus
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            2/8/9 I was thinking of veltmans assist lol for the other points.

    8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      How did Hwang look yesterday?

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He is always a Sexy chinese man

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          He's South Korean. Bit racist?

          1. Jumpernot
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            That's what I was thinking

          2. el polako
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Why racist ? Couldn't be just simple mistake ?

            Saying he looked like your local takeaway guy would be racist but confusing nationality is just lack of knowledge.

            1. Cok3y5murf
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              He assumed he was Chinese just because he was Asian. Could've just said Asian if he wasn't sure

              1. el polako
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Then somebody would call him racist.

                Racism is disgusting no doubt about it but these days people just get labelled as racist over nothing or without any proof for example Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire accused Kamil Glik of being racist - FIFA done their investigation and found no grounds whatsoever for it.

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Why would they call him racist for that? He is literally Asian.

                  In his defence, he could've genuinely thought he was Chinese through some misinformation, but I doubt it. It seems like he just assumed. But there is no proof and only he knows

              ‘Simple mistake’ is oversimplification. No need to make a joke about ethnicity/nationality in the first place. It’s just that simple.

              1. el polako

                    Now if you excuse me I gotta go to my sexy wife, luckily she doesn't get offended whe I call her that.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo was a terrible signing. Taking a strong 'team' and adding a 'me' ego to it. Awful

        1. Jumpernot
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          They already have Pogba with his ego though and they didn't learn their lesson. I don't know why they didn't shift him on and get some money back. Now it looks like he's going to leave for free.... Again

      2. el polako

        Happy days, if only Chelsea kept Lampard I'd be on cloud nine.

    9. el polako

      Maybe Chelsea got the wrong Lukaku ? And its Jordan playing up front for them ?

    10. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      All of a sudden the UTD fixture run from GW14 to 27 is looking like a massive trap.

      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any early ideas for this team? Maybe just a safe change of Amartey to Livramento?

      Sánchez
      Cancelo, Alonso, TAA
      Raphinha, Salah, Fernandes, Sarr
      Ings, Antonio, Toney

      Steele, Duffy, Gilmour, Amartey
      2 free transfers, 0.6 million in the bank

      Apart from bruno and greenwood,, the whole utd team is trash. Some of them dont deserve to be in the man utd team. Fred, wan bissaka are terrible. Their attack is slow, sluggish, predictable and boring. Ole out please

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ok. You do you

      2. Jumpernot
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        "don't deserve to be in the man utd team" as if Manchester United are like some power house team known for being great. Maybe not fit for them in the 90s but the fact are United are a mediocre club under the impression they're special and have be under this illusion for quite some time. Liverpool suffered from this for a very long time, now only recently Arsenal woke up and smelt the coffee and realised it was the same for them too. I wonder how long it will take United to do the same.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fred is also one of their best players

        2. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, don't understand this sentiment of many united fans that some players "aren't good enough for man u". It's as if United were the first thing that came into being after the dinosaurs went extinct and there's some monarchial crown on their head which will make them a powerhouse no matter how club rankings and scenarios naturally keep changing with the passage of time. Newcastle were historically a big club too, but you don't see people moaning every player bar Wilson and ASM isn't good enough to play for them.

          1. Jumpernot
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            It's so funny isn't it. Like it's never Manchester United that can be bad, just; the players, the staff, the fans the owners, the referee, the pundits, VAR etc etc

          2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            It's against the context of them being literally the most successful club in the history of the English game and having just recently exited a spell of pretty much two decades where they diminated every team in the country

            This isn't Burnley or Rochdale that's being talked about - it's the greatest club in the history of the English game

            Look them up - they were quite good you know

      3. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years

        Utd is chock full of really good players who are not coached properly.

    13. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo worsened Juve and is now doing the same at Man United, £510/w!

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        *£510k

      2. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think of all the shirt sales though

      3. DMP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, right. Juve are far better without him. lol

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Just because Juve are still doing poorly without him doesn't mean they weren't poor with him as well.

        2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          They were getting to UCL finals without him, didn’t even win the one horse title race last year …

      4. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        But share value leapt and allowed glazers to make 100 million so working out fine.

      5. DMP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        And lets be honest, United sucks for ages.

    14. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1FT - 0m ITB - WC available

      Sanchez
      TAA Livra Cancelo
      Salah (C) Jota Sarr Raph
      Ronaldo Antonio ASM

      Steele - White Shaw Gilmour

      Shaw and Ronaldo need to go I guess and I think the mid could use a bit of freshening up.

      Could I get by with just Ronaldo to Lukaku or should I be considering the WC?

    15. lugs
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      with exact funds i just did, Pukki & Williams ----> Broja & Christensen, it looks a bit crazy at first glance swapping 2 crap options for 2 non nailed ones but the 2 non nailed ones are pretty good if they play, and actually gives my team really good flexibility and depth to cover other non nailed and high rotation players that i have which gives me a chance to field a decent 11 in any given week, that makes sense right ? 😆

      next week's team probably

      Sanchez
      Taa, Cancelo, Christensen, Livermento
      Salah, Mount, Gray
      Lukaku, Auba, Broja

      Steele, Greenwood, Tierney, Allan

    16. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Best move here?
      A. Dias > Chilwell
      B. Mahrez > Mount/Zaha
      C. Save and remove Mahrez Hwang and James next week

      Ramsdale Foster
      TAA Cancelo Dias James Livramento
      Salah Mahrez Raphinha Mbeumo Brownhill
      Lukaku Antonio Hwang
      1 FT 0 ITB

      Want Chilwell but no cash for straight swap with James.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years

        Save

      2. Il Capitano

    17. RamaJama

      Would you sell Vardy to get Lukaku C for Norwich?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        As a Lukaku owner, no

      2. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        might do the opposite

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not a chance.

    18. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      So does Son have COVID or not?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Reports from South Korean sources are saying Son tested negative and is clear to play today.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          So what was all that BS about him being positive and missing the next 3 from multiple sources?

          Bloody took him out for Mahrez this week because of it

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Two Spurs staff rumoured to have returned a positive test

          2. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            That is twitter for you.

            The same twitter source which tweeted Son had covid posted a tweet afterwards saying he tested negative.

            I looked past this and kept him as Spurs have not even mentioned one thing.

        London = Yonhap News) Correspondent Choi Yun-jeong = Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham Hotspur) is reported to have tested negative for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

        A local source familiar with the situation told Yonhap News on the 16th (local time), "Tonight, I was contacted by the agent saying, 'Son has tested negative and will play against Newcastle tomorrow (17th)."

        1. GreennRed

          I still wouldn't trust that though. Wait and see if he starts. Agents and some 'journalists' , not always great sources.

    19. Miguel Sanchez

      Alonso owner, pending midweek team, bring in for Tsimikas:

      A) James and hope to have a double up for Norwich with Livramento on bench if not

      B) Chilwell and at least guarantee one of the attacking LWBs each game

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        B for the fixture run then ditch one. Perhaps.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, James has an annoying habit of coming on late in games when benched which the LWBs don’t tend to do.

          Will move on a Chelsea full back after the Malmö game in midweek.

          Cheers TKT

        Vardy - he’s on another goal scoring run again

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Who would you captain between Salah and Vardy if you made this move ?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            Salah

        4. Messi

    23. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mahrez, Antonio to Toney, Son in 2 weeks time almost looks like a no-brainer surely?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I won't sell Antonio unless his form nosedives.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Liverpool, Brighton, Chelsea and City being 4 of 5 fixtures later on is interesting though, I'm not banking on him to do bad, Toney has great fixture as well and can easily match if not outscore him...

    24. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That Sunday morning felling after

      - Your team getting spanked 4.2
      - Your captain blanks
      - Your defender hasn't played a minute since purchased and now drops in price (Alonso)

      If Alonso plays midweek who would you sell him for? Have Cancelo already.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sell Alonso for Chilwell if he plays midweek. Chelsea fixtures split for the next few with a midweek cup game that could see the second choice full backs feature and protected for the league.

      2. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just avoid Chelsea fullbacks. Brightom brentford defence are better value

        You can't go too far wrong with the captain's poll. Won't pay out for you every GW but more often than not.

        1. El Matador
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I know, just hoped my player would at least match Salah. But should have known better with Mahrez.

    25. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Price changes were bad last night, I lost .4 ffs. Did not want to make early moves.

    26. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A. Ronaldo and Williams to Vardy and Chilwell (need to make 0.1 for TAA)
      B. Something else

      Sanchez
      Cancelo Rudiger Duffy
      Salah Raphina Benrahma Gray
      Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

      Steele Livramento McArthur Williams

    27. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I guess the stampede will be Ronaldo to Vardy before a price rise (likely tonight)?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo will be relishing Super Sunday v the old enemy and Salah.

    28. Adzy
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Semedo, Ronaldo > TAA, Vardy -4

      Surely its worth the hit?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Might not pay off this week but long term yes

    29. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If Lukaku blanks again vs Norwich he’s gone. I don’t care about the rest of his fixtures.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Why wait? 5/7 blanks.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Because it’s Norwich

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Norwich are starting to keep clean sheets.

          2. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Though not because his form is great and you expect 2 or 3 goals from him against a poor Norwich team. Hopefully he will find the form and the bounce in confidence improves his form. But cheaper alternatives are getting a few goals.

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          This

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yep 100%, blanked in every game for Chelsea since i brought him in four weeks ago and the worst part is he has looked dreadful.

      3. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He is a poacher. Norwich is the perfect fixture for him.

    30. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If i didn't take that hit last season I would be without hits for around 3 years...

    31. Phlajo
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How is Bruno+Coufal+Sarr to KdB+Laporte+Mbueno for -4?

      Exact cash so have to pull trigger before prise fall/rise 🙂

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yep

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Forget price. Wait until Friday evening for any updates on possible injuries etc after midweek games. Looks like good moves but maybe one less.

    32. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo >> Vardy? 2FTs. Also need to sort out Mount, Sarr and Shaw!

      Sanchez
      Rüdiger. TAA. White
      Salah. Mount. Raph. Sarr
      Ronaldo. Antonio. ASM
      (Foster, Shaw, Livramento, Gilmour)

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Shaw > Cancelo
        Ronaldo > Vardy

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Same dilemma here, am thinking. Ron + Sarr to Vardy + Foden/mahrez

      3. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes of course. Shaw to a City Def?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah think so

    33. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Did Jota + Alonso to Mane + Thiago Silva last night for - 4, rage transfers.

      Have regret.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        But no rage, which is good.

        1. Dacra
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          That comes when Jota and Alonso start next week, and both their replacements are benched.

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        never a good idea to to rage transfers but could have done worse moves I guess

      3. Calculated Risks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Mane has been great to own recently...
