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

    From a gw rank of about 200k to about 1mil because of Arsenal

    This sucks

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Started ok. From 400k to 100k. Son, Kane, Jesus, Saka, Saliba hauls….back to 400k.

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

      Same same

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wildcarders definitely got a beating from that Arsenal game.
      Thankfully, Saliba isn’t massively owned, but definitely a fair few in my mini-leagues have him ive noticed.

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure I'd call it a beating. Could have been way worse

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I dropped from 140k to about 250k OR.
          Pretty significant fall I’d say!

          1. thegaffer82
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            That should say ‘down to 350k OR’

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

      Started the week at 800k went to 600k now back to 1.2m. Absolute s*** show of a season. No matter what move I make it’s the wrong one. The killing part is there’s guys not don’t jot to their team who are flying. Think my new motto is put out a team and leave it. Seems to work for casuals

  2. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I should have played Patterson over Neco.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. For all his attacking promise Neco is not really playable

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

      Neco forever last on bench from now on. If it helps I benched Madders for Andreas.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That's a strange decision tbh. Didn't you have Andreas and Mitro as well?

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Having Andreas and Mitro means absolutely nothing though. Only thing that matters is Neco's expected points value. Unless you are in some weird situation where you need to maximize variance

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          The game is also about making educated predictions after all and if you play Fulham attackers you're backing them to win.

          And anyway, I'd have picked Patterson in a vacuum anyway because Forest defense is the worst in the league.

      2. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah it was a strange decision in hindsight, but I fancied goals on the Forest Fulham game and thought Neco might be involved. I don't expect Everton to keep a clean sheet either so went with Neco for attacking potential.

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          *didn't. They may well do.

    4. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, forest concede much more
      Everton not so much

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        True but Neco attacks much more and Fulham not the greatest defensively.

      2. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Wrong decision though, in hindsight.

    5. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Of course I chose Neco and Emerson over Patterson on WC....

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

    Of course Marty blanked in 3 0 win for Arsenal, typical effing game

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

      Still got 3 points more than Odegaard 🙁

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cut the guy some slack jeez!

      For a 6mil MFer he’s been fantastic

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

        MFer 😆

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Calm down at the back please children 😉

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Funniest is Mitrovic having 67% goal involvement until this GW and then blanking when Fulham score 3

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Hilarious week to captain him 🙁

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

    Guaita is high on my list for a WC Gk, but still looking if something better comes along. Between him and Martinez, whom you'd pick?

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

      I am considering him, Pope or Fabianski. Martinez is not on my watch list.

      Still haven't decided between Guaita and Pope

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I've gone Guaita on my WC this week.

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

      Guaita Raya is my GK combo WC9

  5. Ingstagram
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gabriel Jesus seems to be a card magnet
    On 4 already

    The same goes for Brazilians and Portuguese

    They seem to have some sort of attraction for YCs

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing like a bit of casual racism on a Sunday afternoon haha 😉

      1. Ingstagram
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        What??!!!

  6. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gordon is a mistake

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

      he is not imo. He can score double-digit goals this season, it is only a matter of time.

      we need just little bit luck to own him when he will score those goals

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Fair enough, he's too cheap to expect much anyway

  7. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    GOAL
    Everton

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maupay

      brilliant strike.

      Hope that doesn't wake West Ham up.

  8. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Surely Moyes must notice that his attack is better this season, or at least atm, with Scamacca and not Antonio spearheading the attack?

  9. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maupay

  10. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maupay !

  11. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    You remember back in the day when all the old people on here seemed to have made an agreement to say 'milf' instead of 'mid' without fail because they were absolute geezers in loveless marriages?

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

      Love a good mid priced milf who is a big asset

  12. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Good strike by Maupay

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

    Maupay first Everton goal

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

    Zouma, Coufal, Emerson CS pts lost

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Emerson lost any clean sheet potential the moment the clock clicked past 30mins and he was still sat in his tracksuit on the bench

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Surely Emerson needs to be playing to lose those points?

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hislop, Lomas, Ruddock CS points lost

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bobby Moore cleanie in the dirt

  15. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maupay owners, show yourselves! You are now allowed out of the closet

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There must be one somewhere

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        *yourself

  16. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maupey FFS

    All I needed from this game was one little Coufal clean sheet

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

    Begovic ruining Bowen assist?

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

    All we need now is a Antonio goal assisted by fornals

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You misspelled ‘Bowen’

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen regressing back to his old self

  20. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    He said he would only score if Everton increase his wages. More pay!

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Top marks for a lousy joke, but it made me smile!

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's always doing a runner from restaurants without settling the bill. Meal No Pay.

  21. g40steve

    YC Gordon

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Classic

  22. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Perfect end to the week, nothing against WCers but I didn't understand the big backing of West Ham assets when they had 1 clean sheet all season and scored 3 goals in 6 games

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Season is far from over Natedog.
      West Ham assets are for the medium term (until WC). And I do think it’s a matter of time before they start getting results.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I'm fine with a punt, but seeing so many with double and even triple in some cases is just too much focus on the fixtures with nothing else to warrant it.

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Fixtures over form

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Team is pretty much the same as last year in a good way and they havent had the best fixtures so far. Not the worst punt imo.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ps without Tarkowski's great positioning Bowen would have scored.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I certainly don't mind a punt it's the double and triple-ups I don't get. Even then I think there were better punts around

  23. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gordon booked

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wasn't it Patterson who made the foul?

      1. Klaren
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Complete nonsense. Patterson fouled him and Gordon got the yellow card.

  24. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen just had a decent shot that would have gone in, but blocked near the penalty spot by Tarkowski

  25. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen close, Bowen stays.

    Paqueta and Fornals off. Cornet and Benrahma in.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen was a one week punt for me before my WC, so at least there's that!

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen still looks poor at times
      Bowen owner !

  26. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best mid priced mids going forward? In order

    1) Maddison
    2) Saka
    3) Zaha
    4) Martinelli
    5) Foden

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha has to be top for me given those fixtures. Would avoid City and Arsenal now given BGW12, so Maddison next, especially if Rodgers goes

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

      1 or 3

      2 after gw12

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would want 3,1 & 2 all in my team if you can navigate the blank GW12 with benching or subs

  27. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Soucek will shin in a benrahma cross and we'll all be miserable

  28. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Good fixtures or not I don’t want any of these West Ham players. They’re in rotten form.

  29. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which one do you prefer on WC

    A) Son & Toney
    B) Maddison & Kane

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

      B

  30. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Has Bowen scored yet?

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

      Only got to second base
