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

    Would you roll the below? 1.1 ITB or perhaps Gordon out or Foden > Diaz?

    Pope

    Cancelo / Trippier / Perisic / James

    Foden / Maddison / Martinelli

    Kane / Haaland / Mitro

    Iversen | Gordon | Patterson | Andreas

    Thanks

      Roll

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

      Why would you buy Diaz now?

      I would roll or consider Martinelli > ASM if expected to start

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

        ASM not a bad shout, thanks

  2. Atimis

    Pretty lost here, between just one move e.g. Gross to Billing and WC…thoughts?

    Rambo/Ward
    TAA/Cancelo/Perisic/Trippier/Neco
    KDB/Martinelli/Sinisterra/Gross/Pereira
    Haaland/Jesus/Mitro

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

      WC would allow me to change GK, would get James, Zaha, Maddison, possibly would mean getting rid of Jesus as well

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

        Plenty of good reasons to use wc

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

    I went from 531K to 200K what a crazy week.

  4. Wild Card this!

    Any believe I got away with Begovic points 😉

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

      Can’t

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

      Begovic/Guaita on wildcard, right? I thought about it too.

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

        Yes, so far, so good.

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

    Up 1.5 million places, I’m a Saliba in Patterson

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Damn should have started Patterson over Andreas after all!

    Though Andreas was desperately unlucky not to return to be fair

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

      Greedy

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Annoying because it was the only thing I was unsure of!

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

          You know what’s annoying? Switching Son out for Kane because of a dude named O’keefe

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Ouch who’s that

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

              it's the geezer who couldn't predict a 13 minute hattrick!

          2. Volley127
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            You know he was right

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

              Yeah… I had a decision to make because I had Sessegnon who wasn’t in his predicted lineup too & was dead sure he would start. Didn’t want to risk Son & Sessegnon just incase… so kept Sess & binned Son.

              If only he predicted Sess to start, wouldn’t have sold Son 😆

    With James & Guehi sitting fixtureless on my bench, I’m probably one of the only people who is thankful for the 1pt from Emerson in the end.
    Now he can get lost and be perma-third on the bench until we see he’s a starter

  8. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen in for Martinelli, or avoid like the plague?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why people buying Bowen

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Next big thing since Bailey and Neto.

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

        this was so last week.

        it'll pass now.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Avoid

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

      I’m still backing him. The best FPL points are always when you get in a player *before* he goes on a spree.
      Sometimes it doesn’t work out of course. But Bowen certainly isn’t suddenly rubbish, nor are West Ham.
      Go with your gut I’d say

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I think it's more rewarding when stats and/or eye test suggest it's about to happen and you get in ahead of the curve. Otherwise you are just lucky, and there's less enjoyment in that.

    4. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Buy Bowen? Is this sarcasm?

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

      Not for me

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

    What's of most importance in selecting your transfers

    form
    fixtures or
    what just happened?

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

      Fixtures breed form.
      So fixtures (usually, but not always)

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

      Mixture of f and f with a sprinkle of wjh.

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

        Sounds right

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

      Form then fixtures, also depends which team the players are from & if they are defenders or attackers

      For me City, Spurs, Arsenal & Liverpool attacking wise are probably fixture proof

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Fish or meat for dinner

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

        curry.

        roast tomorrow!

  10. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I'm in top 270k. Should I become an influencer?

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

      Cheers for that. Needed a laugh after this GW

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

    Would you WC this lot?

    Pope (Ward)
    Cancelo, Perisic, Trippier (Saliba, Neco)
    KDB, Zaha, Martinelli, Groß (Andreas)
    Haaland, Jesus, Mitrovic

    I was set on activating it, but there aren't that many changes I'd like to do anyway. I want Salah, but could just bring him in for KDB. I'd want Maddison, I'd want James, that would require WCing — is it worth though? And if not, is it worth even holding onto it?

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

      besides Brighton's fixture swing, wouldn't most wildcard into that?

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

        Thank you for this. Question is: would there be a more suitable time? I fear I might just lose an opportunity.

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

      1 FT? I'd hold the WC but if you want to move for Maddison definitely try to do it before Forest

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

        Yes, 1 ft only sadly. Exact money for KDB-Salah and Groß-Madds for a hit though.

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

          2nd move has much bigger upside & I think KDB outscores Salah over the next 3. But if you disagree with the last part & are capping Salah next week then that's probably a reasonable hit to take

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

    How's Steve Cooper standing up to the pressure of premier league football?

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

    Exact money for KDB-Salah and Groß-Madds for a hit. If I do it, and then change my mind and WC, does the hit get canceled?

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

      Yes wipes hits

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

        Very kind of you. Many thanks!
