From Scout Picks to team news, all our content and tips for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 8 will appear here.
Before the deadline of 11:00 BST on Saturday 19 October is a two-week international break.
But we enter it with a couple of strange situations: Erling Haaland (£15.4m) blanked twice in a row and Arsenal’s defence can’t secure clean sheets. Maybe a break is needed to shake some sense into proceedings!
Whatever your transfer dilemmas, chip-related conundrums and captaincy quandaries, make sure to keep checking back here for the latest articles ahead of the deadline.
A lot of our content is free but, to gain access to every single article, we publish and benefit from all the tools and stats on offer in our Premium Members Area. Don’t forget to subscribe or upgrade your Fantasy Football Scout account.
