Fantasy Premier League Scout: Fantasy Tips for Gameweek 8

Midfielder

Capoue, Hazard, Firmino, Fer and De Bruyne make up my midfield for this gameweek and I don’t think I’ll be making any changes to that.

Capoue has probably been the find of the season, in terms of value for money, chipping in with goals and assists in almost every game, and costs a minimal of 5.2 million! Stick with him and if you don’t have him, get him in, he’ll provide great balance to your side

Eden Hazard has had a mini revival under Conte this season but is yet to go into 5^th gear! But I would keep him in my squad for one more game week as Conte might be tempted to try Hazard in his favoured no.10 position. I would transfer him out in the next game week, if I don’t find him doing anything worthwhile this time round.

Firmino has probably been at the heart of Liverpool’s impressive attacking display in this season. He has been very unlucky to not come out with more assists and goals and in a high pressure encounter, which could very well be end to end, I expect Firmino to be on the score sheet against United at Anfield on Monday.

De Bruyne has by far been the best player in the PL and he is most likely to be fit for the encounter against Everton and thus I wouldn’t want to risk transferring him out, as it seems as if he just can’t do anything wrong on the football pitch as of now!

Leroy Fer is the last player that makes up my midfield and I’ll be playing him in my starting XI. He scored a wonderful goal against Liverpool in the last game, which almost gave his side the victory against the highflying Liverpool side! Like Capue, Fer provides great balance to your side and is a brilliant value for money pick!
