The division 2 tips
Price: £7.9m Points: 11 Gameweek 8 fixture: Burnley (h) Foden also sparkled during England’s win in Andorra and can take on Riyad Mahrez’s seasonal role of scoring big against Burnley at the Etihad. The England midfielder was superb at Anfield, so much so that Gary Neville took the novel approach of naming him the game’s joint man of the match, alongside Salah. Since returning from injury as a substitute during the Gameweek 5 stalemate with Southampton, Phil Foden has started in back-to-back Premier League games against Chelsea and Liverpool. Price: £12.7m Points: 70 Gameweek 8 fixture: Watford (a) Phil Foden (Man City) Watford need no reminding of the threat he poses, as he has scored eight goals in six Premier League matches against them, including his very first in a Liverpool shirt back in 2017. If he can accumulate 13 points against a defensive unit as miserly as Manchester City’s he can do damage against anyone. Mo Salah‘s form has been so good and so consistent that it seems ludicrous to have not stuck the armband on him in Gameweek 1 and just left it there permanently. The saviour of ours and most people’s FPL teams in Gameweek 7. Newcastle United takeover: Why the club’s renewed ambition is bad news for Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs Mo Salah (Liverpool) Price: £7.0m Points: 13 Gameweek 8 fixture: Watford (a) The Scotland captain ranks seventh among defenders for chances created per-90 minutes and registered two assists during Scotland’s dramatic 3-2 win over Israel at Hampden Park on Saturday. Price: £4.3m Points: 35 Gameweek 8 fixture: Norwich (a) Andy Robertson (Liverpool)Īlthough Trent Alexander-Arnold is the headline FPL pick from Liverpool‘s back four and has been confirmed fit and ready to play by Jurgen Klopp, Andy Robertson is a worthy alternative despite his lack of points so far this season. Duffy, meanwhile, has had more goal attempts (13) than any other defender and his potential for earning points at both ends of the pitch bodes well for Saturday’s game against bottom club Norwich. The Seagulls are one of the most resolute sides in the division having kept three clean sheets already. Those who took an early punt on Brighton’s budget-friendly enabler Shane Duffy should give themselves a firm pat on the back given he is the eighth-highest scoring defender so far and also one of the cheapest. Price: £6.1m Points: 39 Gameweek 8 fixture: Burnley (h) Shane Duffy (Brighton) Dias is a very decent FPL pick in any case as he is the joint-second highest-scoring defender in the game… behind Cancelo, of course. We will go for the security of Ruben Dias and his inevitable six points instead, thanks very much. But even though the versatile full-back has started every league game this season, the prospect of a rare sighting from Oleksandr Zinchenko in his place is enough to put us off. Manchester City vs Burnley feels like precisely the sort of game that Joao Cancelo will get 18 points in. Premier League injury news: Latest on Rudiger, Lukaku and Raphinha ahead of fantasy football Gameweek 8 Ruben Dias (Man City) Since making his debut against Norwich City, Ramsdale is the top-scoring goalkeeper (24 points) in FPL and he faces a Crystal Palace side that has failed to score in two out of three away games this season. A relatively kind fixture list has helped, but so too have the performances of summer signing Aaron Ramsdale, who has usurped Bernd Leno as Mikel Arteta’s No 1. Since Gameweek 4, Arsenal have the best defensive record in the division, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just one goal in that run.
