Gameweek 8 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins on Friday with two matches in the Midlands: Aston Villa v Southampton and Nottingham Forest v Fulham.

Both games kick-off at 20:00 BST.

Steven Gerrard makes two changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Manchester City in Gameweek 6, with Ashley Young and Philippe Coutinho coming in for the injured Matty Cash and Douglas Luiz.

That means Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins both start, despite feeling unwell during the week, alongside Leon Bailey, who continues on the right wing.

Southampton, meanwhile, make just one change, with Moussa Djenepo replacing Joe Aribo.

At The City Ground, Steve Cooper has reacted to his side’s 3-2 loss to Bournemouth by making three changes.

In come Willy Boly, Remo Freuler and Taiwo Awoniyi, with Joe Worrall, Cheikhou Kouyate and Jesse Lingard dropping to the bench.

Serge Aurier is still awaiting visa approval.

As for the visitors, Issa Diop starts alongside new signing Willian, but Antonee Robinson misses out through injury.

    2 from 2

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could be worst. Hallelujah

      1. Wild Card this!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Worse 😉

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'll see your 2 from 2 and raise you 3 from 3 minus 4.

  2. Viper
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Apologies for the repost. Really caught in two minds. I would lose value on Cucurella & Gross tonight. I had planned on WC this week but the side looks absolutely fine without it

    Pope Ward

    James Cucurella Cancelo Trippier Williams

    KDB Kulusevski Gross Andreas Martinelli

    Jesus Haaland Mitrovic

    WC or wait until 13? Kulusevski -> Maddison the move if I don't WC

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would do that. Save

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

      Similar situation, I've got Kulu Gross and Ward to ship and probably will WC. Unless am then happy with Gross (liv) then I may take the first hit of the season for Kulu Ward > Maddison Guaita.

  3. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What do you want from rest of the matches?

    - Newcastle CS wipeout
    - City CS
    - Haaland haul
    - Kane blank

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Opposite of this 😛

    2. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Newcastle cs
      Everton cs
      Son haul

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well, we want something that will hurt our opponents.
      Most of us have
      Newcastle defenders
      City defender (or two)
      Halland (all)
      Kane - well that’s only differential

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

      Jesus and Kulu haul and the rest can blank ...

      1. Wild Card this!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That’s definitely upside as people that WC probably don’t have them.

    5. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane EO is not that high so it doesn’t matter that much.

      Cancelo’s EO is 75% so as a I don’t have any City defender I would like a City CS wipe out!
      Also another Toney hatty if it’s not asking too much.

  4. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone just activated their WC? What were your first moves?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just getting in players who rise tonight and removing Trent who might fall, I'll start tinkering at another time

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      First moves
      http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid
      Check and get ASAP if planned

    3. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      WC activated.

      Removed TAA, Jesus and Dasilva
      Bought Isak, Dier and Gordon

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Playing WC this GW for sure but have not activated it as I wanna play my part in actually affecting the price rises and falls real time whilst adding / removing players. Have just started making transfers as follows : TAA, Jesus, Diaz, Gibbs-White out and Emerson, KDB, Gordon & Isak in. I will of course make sure I remember to activate it before the deadline to avoid the 100pt hit or whatever it might be come October 1st?!

  5. Johnny too hotty
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will anyone up in value tonight?
    I’m on wc if I own Trent shall I ship as he will lose value.?

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

    WC Activated.

    Will reveal the first draft on video later on.

    Good night

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

      P.S. Go Kane!!

      1. Wild Card this!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Jbt Kane

        1. Wild Card this!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          😉

  7. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Can I still take advantage of the price rises even if I’ve activated my wildcard?

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      In a sense, you buy them now - you can but are you thinking of player that will go up 0.2 and than you sell? You can’t

    2. prey21
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes but suboptimal
      since wildcard transfers do not count for NTI better to do the transfers first then activate the WC near the deadline
      of course requires lots of players to do this to have a significant impact

  8. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best Gross replacement (5.9 or less)?

    A) Gordon
    B) Bailey
    C) Colback (put last on bench and bank the £1.6)
    D) Other

    Want to do it before price drop tonight.

    1. Harvey_27
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

  9. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    Trippier, Cancelo, Perisic, James
    KDB, Martinelli, Diaz
    Haaland (c), Jesus, Mitrovic

    Iverson, Neto, Neco, Andreas

    1 FT 0.5 ITB

    Would you hit the WC button on this squad? I feel like my squad isn't a million miles away from a lot of the WC teams I have seen this week.

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd keep them all bar Neto, just save the 1FT

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

        Yeah it does feel like it could be a waste tbh. The three i really want in is Maddison, Salah and Isak.

  10. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez Ward
    Trippier Cancelo James Digne Williams
    KDB Diaz Gross Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Jesus Mitrovic

    Would you WC? Would only really change 4 maybe 5 players so not sure if perhaps would be better to save

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

  11. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Started Bailey and andreas ahead of Maddison - why I am so stupid

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bailey will probably outscore him

      1. Solly The Seagull
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        And Andreas aswell, can see Maddison red card incoming

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why do you think Madders will score more? I’m planing to get him as well for Saka (WC) but he might get something

      1. Wild Card this!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        “NOT” score more

      2. Flaming Flamingo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He might, but the most likely score for him tomorrow is 2 I'd say

  12. Solly The Seagull
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with the team? 1ft 3.5itb

    Pope
    James Cancelo Trippier
    KDB Gross* Harrison Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Mitrovic

    Ward Schär Neco Pereira

    A) Gross>Maddison
    B) Wildcard
    C) Other?

  13. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    D-D-D-Digne's beautiful BAPular added... 😀

    1. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well done, never would have considered him

      1. Optimus.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Tis a double edged sword though as it means you are stuck with him next week also 😉

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          First on bench next week. Hoping to not have to use him. 😆

  14. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Should I wildcard?
    Team for next week.

    Ramsey
    Peresic Cancelo Trippier Trent
    Dias Martinelli KDB
    Mitro Isak Haaland

    Ward GroB Pareria Neco

    .1 itb

    Not a lot of room for manoeuvre .

  15. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Next GW's captain, folks? Haaland (MUN), Mitro (NEW), or Maddy (NOT) ?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Can’t captain Haaland when he’s playing Utd, surely. One of the other two.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, I most likely won't. Dare say a few others will as he's turned into a bit of a perma-captain this season for folk. I might punt on Maddy, TBH...

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Expect he’ll catch a few that only watch PL and didn’t see what Utd did to Sheriff last night - advantage us!

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Why the hell not?

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would u WC this team ?
    Pope ( Ward)
    TAA James Cancelo Tripper (Neco)
    KDB Rashford Martinelli ( Gross Andreas)
    Haaland Mitro Toney

  17. Ghost86
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    On fpl statistics which part do you click to check who’s falling?

    1. Caravagio
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Click the column header for target and it should reverse the order and show you who's dropping

      1. Ghost86
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks

  18. Caravagio
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So planned on trying to save wildcard til gw12/13 but just noticed I've got 4 players who are going to drop tonight. Wtf.
    Taa, salah, dasilva and Cucurella.
    A 0.4 mill swing.. Should I wildcard now to save the money?? Value Could make a big difference later in the season.
