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

    West Ham have scored 3 goals in seven games :S

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

    Only just noticed Cancelo got max baps. Got to be close to essential now.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nah. Saliba and Trippier about the same total and much cheaper.

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

        Agree. Worth upgrading James to Cancelo?

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

          Yes

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

        Maybe. I don't own Saliba and was late to the Trippier party but if I had to choose it would be Cancelo.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          No doubt. Depends on what you use the extra 2.0 mill for though.

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

    Come on Patterson!

    Maupay (31)
    Begović (29)
    Tarkowski (29)
    Patterson (28)
    Mykolenko (27)

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years

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

    Begovic hates Bowen.

  5. OPTA FPL

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

    Bit knee jerk but Gordon out to who up to 6.3? Tielemens?

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

      Bailey or Andreas

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

        Thanks Already got Andrea’s and Worried that Bailey is a trap

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

      Can't really think of better budget options at the moment. Hold til you can figure out a way to free up extra funds I think

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

        Only just got Gordon in but feel that tielemens good pick going forward

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

    Begovic better than Pickford?

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

      Helps that he doesn't have T-Rex hands.

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

        rawr

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

      Who isn't? Just Ward and my mum I think

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

    Emerson on in extra time...

    I made a 18:15 switch from Emerson > Patterson. Feeling quite lucky!

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

      Yes after bigging him up to everyone on here. Not like you to change your mind at all 😉

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

        Bigging up Emerson?

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

        That's a bit unfair in this situation.

        I didn't big up Emerson much at all. He was in my team for a while but after the Conference League game and the predicted lineups came out it made sense to switch.

        I don't care what people think. I will make decisions and change my mind if I think it's better for the team. Information is dynamic after all and what may seem like a reasonable pick at one time might not be after a game or a piece of info leaks.

        1. Debauchy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Absolutely Camzi, I was touting bringing in Son and captaining and changed my mind at the death. But yeah of course you go with the most up to date info in making your final decion

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

        Also I've been nothing but nice to you of late and you spend every opportunity to put me down. And you weren't even right... Not one post 'bigging up Emerson' as you claim.

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

    A).Fofana and Rashford
    B).Reece James and Fornals

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

      A

  10. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Emerson in to block Patterson from my bench. Ouch. But can only blame myself

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

      Patterson was playing at home

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

        Yeah I know

    2. gonzalocampos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, our fault.

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

      Yeah. Just fancied West ham to do something. But a bad call from me.

  11. SkyByBo
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    West Ham look dreadful.

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

      league table after 7 games don't lie.

  12. gonzalocampos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Emerson min 93, I had Patterson waiting for the clean sheet. F#$%.

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

      Oops

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I played Patterson over Emerson. Home advantage and all

  13. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Think I'll pass on Bowen this wildcard then...

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you even consider? Over prized, plays for a very poor West Ham side sitting bottom 3 in the league. And he has blanked every single GW.

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

    West Ham have only scored 3 goals this season lol

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

    Many regret not bringing in Son this GW.
    I regret choosing Ward over Begovic.

  16. Better Call Raul
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Did Patterson get a bonus?

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

      Doesn't look like it 🙁 But I'm not sure how bonus works, if there's more changes to come

      Maupay (31)
      Begović (30)
      Tarkowski (30)
      Patterson (28)
      Mykolenko (27)

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

      nah

      think Tarkowski took it with 2 clearances

  17. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best use of FT?

    A) Saka to Maddison
    B) Bowen to Maddison

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

      B

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Saka played a blinder today. And watching Spurs yesterday I'd fancy him for another result.

    3. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looking on fixtures it would make sense to take Saka out, but Bowen is just not running yet (he had a slow start last season too) and Saka could also score vs Spurs or Liverpool. Depends a bit how many other Ars you have

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

    Finally a decent return, 1.6m too 800k!

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

    I want my money back. Where can I return Bowen?

  20. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    3 - Maupay (31)
    2 - Tarkowski, Begović (30)

    Patterson (28)

    1. Better Call Raul
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't this used to mean he would get 1 bonus?

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

        no

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

        No, never

  21. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen to Zaha in GW10 locked in

    What on earth were we thinking picking attacking players from a Moysey Woysey side

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

      Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Brought in Perisic, Bowen and Bailey on WC. Complet nutcase!

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

        The appeal of Bowen potentially on pens and West Ham’s fixtures made it a worthwhile punt I thought. He gets one more week to show what he can do.

    2. All de Gea no iDier
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why on earth would you lock in a transfer 2 weeks before the next gw with the potential of some of your players becoming injured during the break? Smacks of casual knee-jerking.

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

        Yes casual at 36k rank 😉

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I salute you no matter what

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

        Thank you good sir, you’ve had a good start this season also

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

          Thank you, I’m trying to be better

  22. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pereira and/or Gordon to?

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

    Is there any reason why tielemens now scoring / getting assists ? Is he playing more advanced ?

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

      Penalty

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

        Oh ok thanks

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

      he's looking to move as a free agent in January to Arsenal or Liverpool, by some accounts.

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

        Ok cheers tempted to get him for Gordon

  24. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Contemplating WC. Who are the absolute must-have players for you?

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

      Haaland

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

      None. Patterson first name in the team

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

        Then Haaland, Trippier, James, Mitrovic

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

      Cancelo, Kane, Haaland, de Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus

      I think these will be consistent over the season

    4. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      My WC is active.

      Haaland and Cancelo ar 100% going to be in it.

      Otherwise I am pretty open to my options.

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

    Who would you prefer until gw16?

    A Salah
    B KDB

    Pope Iverson
    Cancelo James Trippier Saliba Patterson
    Maddison Zaha Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Mitrovic Toney

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

      B

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

      A, no blanks and unlikely to be rested for more then 1 game

  26. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    May use the 3.4 i have in the bank to upgrade neco to TAA for Sterling to Son this GW and Gordon to Rashford next GW. Will wait till the last possible moment of course.

  27. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gundo > Maddison?

    Raya
    Trippier Saliba Patterson
    KdB Sterling Diaz Maddison Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Targett Neco Archer

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

      Yes, then next week, Diaz & Arsenal player > Zaha + Someone (even if for a hit), then you have 2 more FTs to set up for GW12

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Nice one, cheers.

        Tbh, think I might keep Diaz. Proven fpl asset that can score nicely. Fancy Pool in the big games to score.

        Either way, I am looking at Zaha, but it will be for Martinelli most likely. Not sure how I’d fund it without going Jesus > 7.5m or KdB > Foden (but with Gw 12 blank not worth it)

  28. Ninja Škrtel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    68 pts thanks to Son. Bless him! Now for the WC headache.

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      78 points here. Best of luck for WC!

      1. Ninja Škrtel
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Wow nice one!

  29. 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

  30. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Patterson essential
