FPL Gameweek 8 Tips: Last Minute

Last modified date

FPL Gameweek 8 Tips

With an early Friday deadline, the FPL Gameweek 8 tips is packed full of advice from the Fantasy Football Community.

There’s plenty of fixture swings and transfer trends to consider going into another weekend of Premier League action.


Chelsea

Chelsea also get a special mention in the Always Cheating podcast, as us fantasy managers are still searching for players and teams that can offer us consistency in what has been the most chaotic start to the season ever.

Review

Bakar returns with his popular review thread from all the action last weekend. On the agenda this time around we have Liverpool and Chelsea defenders, plus a look at the best replacements for the out of favour Roman Saiss and injured Danny Ings.

Preview

FPL Gents preview all the big talking points for the FPL Gameweek 8 tips, with an update to the watchlist. There’s a focus on defenders here who are dominating the transfers in this week, while looking at their anytime return (goal or assist) potential for this weekend.

Grealish

Jack Grealish has seen a significant increase in ownership as the season has progressed and that comes as no surprise given his output in this campaign. He’s among the top FPL points scoring midfielders, and is almost bettering his record from 2019/20 after just six games.

Injuries

Ben Dinnery brought definite news from Southampton regarding the status of Danny Ings. While the knee injury suffered against Aston Villa isn’t as bad as first feared, he will still be absent for a number of weeks and will now be on the sell list for many fantasy managers.

Targets

FPL Swede brings the top five player topics for the FPL Gameweek 8 tips, with Chelsea defenders and Danny Ings replacements both on the agenda. There’s a wealth of forward options at a variety of budgets, but Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Timo Werner are the top options right now.

Odds

The bookies odds can be very insightful when it comes to nailing down those selections and captaincy. FPL Salah provides the latest anytime goalscorer probabilities, with just two players hitting the magical 50% barrier. Pierre-Emerick Aubamayenag is the surprise leader, ahead of popular pick Harry Kane.

West Ham

West Ham have the best fixture swing going into the weekend, but with Michail Antonio potentially still injured, managers are scratching their heads wondering which midfield options might be worth investing in. Fantasy Football Scout compare Bowen and Fornals, with plenty of food for thought.

Poll

The Fantasy Football Pundits famous captaincy poll for the FPL Gameweek 8 tips looks to be a two horse race, and it’s a similar lineup of players in our thoughts to the last few weekends. Getting this decision right could be decisive: one thing is for sure – all eyes are on Spurs.

Captains

When it comes to deciding between Kane and Son for the armband, FPL Corf puts together an intriguing argument for one of them in the Gameweek 8 thread. There’s also a look at the fixture swings for good and bad, plus a provisional team reveal.

Health

Finally, with England heading into another four week lockdown, the focus of the Planet FPL People’s Poll returns to mental health. Us fantasy managers will be relieved to have the presence of football during this period, but life can still throw us plenty of challenges. Make sure you listen and reach out if you need to.
