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.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

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.

    Assume crazy to ditch ronaldo or is it?players like Vardy tempting

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

      Not crazy at all. UTD are gash. The wheels have come off.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Guess Ron to Vardy or lukuku

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku can't blank vs Norwich. He has to brace.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh can see him getting 1 or 2 surely

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

        He will blank like he has done in his last 6 games

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

        Feel less confident than a couple of weeks ago though. Norwich getting better and Rom worse.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          This is actually true. I don't know should we blame Lukaku or Tuchel. Probably both, but Tuchel perhaps even more.

      4. shorey143
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn’t be surprised if he was ‘rested’

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy is tempting, sometimes he just can't stop scoring his weekly goal, but didn't he also blank 10 times in a row last season?

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

        Those 10 games were when i owned him and captained him

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I know only highlights but watched mu v Leicester and ronaldo didn’t seem to touch the ball?!

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Bruno gave him at least one very nice pass, but just very little too forward. Another day and he would have scored. (Greenwood scored, but even though he is a good finisher, he won't score too many goals with that quality.)

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wow, can’t believe you still have him.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Seriously what’s wrong with him? Knackered or just not getting good service ?

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

          I still have Barnes if that helps.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I think I have other more urgent issues to fix so despite complaining about Ron will no doubt keep for 1 more week

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

      I've got Vardy Lukaku and Antonio up top

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Decent combo.

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nice trio

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

          Thank u sir

      3. Gross Blank Point
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        So have I, Lukaku is the one i'll be getting rid of as soon as his great fixtures are out the way.

    6. Maverick 11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m thinking ditch Ron> Toney upgrade Schmeichel> Ederson and have plenty of change

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Already got Toney and been pretty disappointed tbh

  2. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My plan was to C Lukaku vs Norwich, but I now I am starting to have second thoughts 🙁 Has Salah really become unstoppable.

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

      17, 3, 10, 8, 12, 7, 13, 13 vs Blankaku blank after blank after blank.

      Salah perma cap.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I am currently on salah captain as MU defence all over the place but guess lukuku should score

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Salah vs Maguire is actually too tempting after yesterday. Maguire probably has nightmares from yesterday and Salah next week means that he actually has to s..tting his pants 😉 Maguire YC basically certain and Salah very likely to get a pen.

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

      Salah C, Raphinha VC for me. Have Lukaku also.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh same

      2. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        On same currently.

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

      All blue/green fixtures for him.

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

      Salah loses the armband once/if he starts blanking

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

      I'm so far behind my rivals already that I'm forced to 'punt' on Lukaku as i've held him for 4 weeks now

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Similar situation but the worry is to fall behind even more. This is a marathon.

    7. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Well he averages over 10 points a game and he’s up against a team who can’t keep a clean sheet.

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

      Can’t go wrong with either tbh. I think people overthink captaincy way too much.

    Morning dzz, still frustrated at choosing James over Chilwell fully well knowing that James typically comes on as a sub. early thoughts here with 0.3m?

    Ramsale
    Taa Cancelo James -- Livramento Duffy
    Salah Raphinha Mbeumo Foden -- Brownhill
    Kaku Antonio Jimmy

    A: Save FT
    B: James >> Chilwell but could easily backfire if james starts and chilwell benched. However, by that logic when is the right time to make the switch

  6. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Early thoughts on this please?? 1 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Azpi
    Salah Foden Raphinha Harrison
    Lukaku Jimenez Antonio

    Foster Livramento Brownhill Williams

    A) Harrison > Mbeumo
    B) Save FT (and possibly play Livramento over Harrison)
    C) something else?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years

      A looks good

        Thanks a lot! Absolutely disappointed with what Ron and Rom have done till now but still hopeful.

    • Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Morning All. Knee has been jerking all morning but I’m thinking I want a deeper squad, a Chelsea wing back and a Leicester and Brentford attacker. 2FT’s and a fan of the ‘mini wild card’.

      I can ditch Lukaku before Norwich (I know right) as well as Sarr and a 3.9 defender for Vardy, Mbuemo & Chilwell for a -4. Every Chance Lukaku bites me on the weekend but it’s tempting.

      What are your thoughts?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'd rather burn a transfer than ditch Kaku before Norwich. He hasn't been that bad and now is the best time for him to find his shooting boots.

        1. Dammit_182
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yea, I’ve had him for weeks waiting for this game…can still get mbuemo and chilwell without ditching him so maybe that’s the play. I’ll just captain Salah.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Alonso.. grrr.
      Worst wc 7 pick, 2 non starts, and now I've lost the 0.1 I had made on him.

      I knew he was a trap, and still I feel head first into it.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Annoying but yeah he was very high risk.

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Livra covered him twice for me.

        Relax, think he'll reward our patience in GW9 🙂

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

          Guess we'll see who starts midweek, but I think Chilwell has got himself back as 1st choice again!

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Annoying, he wasn't supposed to drop, but all we can do now is to wait and see who starts midweek. Should he start, he is the priority number one to go out.

          You are not the only one who did that. Risk taken, risk lost 🙁

    • Maddamotha

      Are people doubting capping Lukaku against Norwich now?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        I will. No other viable option.

            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Have him. And yes. Great option too. But Pool United matches have been tight lately.

      2. Forgetmeknot
        • 5 Years

        Yeh, I’ve just moved it from him to Salah but no idea where it will be by Saturday

      3. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He's not filling people with confidence with his league form and price tag.

        People will clear their heads and play the fixture no doubt.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

            I have no idea yet which will be my captain. Betting against Salah is never funny. On the other hand I do have Jota also, so if Salah passes to him like he did to Firmino perhaps it might help a little to choose Kaku. Shouldn't affect the decision tbh, I know.

        Captain Lukaku. He’s called Trollkaku for a reason. He’s been dire but he’ll bang against Norwich.

          Simply this.

          A brace from him after thousands have sold him is classic Trollkaku.

          Been thinking I might even prioritise Toney over Kaku

          Are you holding Schmeichel?

          I think the time has come to ditch even for a hit. You'll likely recover it in 1 gw.

          His day may come again soon.

        On wc, which do you prefer?
        A) sanchez foden D.luiz
        B) mendy sarr ESR

        Sarr could be Gallagher

        Have a few rotation risks so feel like B may be the better bet?

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

          A with Raya

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          A is sensible but B is sexy

        3. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Don't like Sarr and Smith Rowe, so A

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          B. I have Sarr and plan on holding even though Watford got turned over he was still unlucky not to score

            That's what you get with a clueless manager

      • CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Strong bench really helped me 2 weeks in a row,but now I cant decide who to bench here

        Ramsdale
        Alonso TAA Cancelo Laporte
        Salah Raphina Saka
        Lukaku Antonio Jimenez
        (4.0 Mbuemo Livramento Luiz)

        If Alonso doesnt play thats one sub sorted,would it be crazy to bench Laporte or gtg?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Looks good as it is. Maybe Mbeumo over Saka.

          1. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers,you wouldnt play Mbuemo over Laporte?

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Dont think so, Brighton's attack is not any good.

              I think one of the defenders won't play, so Mbuemo as 1st sub is okay.

              1. CRO KLOPP
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

              • 11 Years

              Nope, Laporte will score one day and you'd want to play him that day

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years

          Keep Alonso

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          I would get in Trent. He is set and forget.

      • NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Ronaldo to Trollkaku very much on agenda.

        Brace incoming.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          For Ronaldo or Luka?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Luka obviously. Scores when people are not expecting, very much like Auba

              • 10 Years

              Hopefully you stick with that plan this time 😉

              Are you getting Livramento off the bench?

                • 11 Years

                Yep, for Alonso. 2nd GW running. I deserve it 😛

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years

          Based on last year, Bruce gave Darlow 2-3 games even after Dubravka was back.

        With no other pressing issues (yet), and obviously it's early, but any opinions on this:

        A) Save FT
        B) Rudi > Azpi
        C) Rudi > Chilwell
        D) Robbo > TAA

        Livra 6 points on the bench but son capable of much much more. Guess its a win win

        1. FOO FIGHTER

          If he tested negative according to reports he plays.

        If someone were to tell me that the United v Leicester fixture would have 6 goals in it then I'd of been sitting fairly content with Ronaldo.
        Not sure what to do now with only 1FT?

          Seems an obvious move, however, I often don't like transferring in a player when it is perceived as late in doing so.

        Is Armstrong (A) Mahrez to Son Broja worth -4? Not funds to just do midfielders.
