Best Midfielders Fantasy Premier League GW8

These were our best midfielders in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 8. Do comment down your opinions on our best midfielders in FPL GW8 list. We will be seeing you soon for our pick of Best midfielders FPL for GW9. 


Estêvão (Chelsea, £6.5m)

Estêvão is one of the best Fantasy Premier League Midfielder picks in Gameweek 8 if you're looking for a unique selection that could end up as a masterstroke. Although he didn't start Chelsea's previous game against Manchester United, he came off the bench and scored the winner. He most likely starts against Nottingham Forest as a reward, and their high line defense under Ange Postecoglou means that Estêvão could potentially rip apart the opposition defense and end the game with massive attacking returns.


Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth, £7.9m)

Bournemouth will have one of their biggest tests in the Premier League so far when they face Crystal Palace away in GW8, but Semenyo is on such a legendary run that he still stands out as one of the best FPL midfielders for this week. He has been involved in 9 goals in just 7 Premier League games, and is arguably the EPL player of the season so far. Thus it makes sense to pick him regardless of the fixture difficulty, and he might even end up being the difference maker against Oliver Glasner's Palace side.


Tijjani Reijnders ( Manchester City, £5.8m)

Tijjani Reijnders had a thunderous start to his Premier League career at Manchester City, but has since slowed down a bit. However, the game against Everton in Gameweek 8 is a huge opportunity for him to get back to his best form. This is the type of game where Reijnders could end up with a clean sheet, defensive contributions, and some attacking returns all combined together. Undoubtedly a bit of a risk we agree, but one worth taking especially. Arguably the best cheap FPL Midfielder pick in Gameweek 8.


Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, £14.4m)

Mohamed Salah has not been at his best for the past few Premier League Gameweeks, but the worst mistake FPL players could make is to completely ignore him. Salah is one of the best big-game players the EPL has seen in its current era, and Liverpool's GW8 fixture against Manchester United at Anfield is the perfect stage for Salah to silence his haters. The fact that Ruben Amorim's side has been terrible defensively makes Salah quite an attractive option as well, and he could very well finish the game with unbelievable attacking returns.


Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £9.9m)

Bukayo Saka is back to his best both in terms of fitness and confidence. This automatically makes him one of the best FPL midfielder picks for not just GW8, but most of the Gameweeks. Arsenal will have a relatively easier fixture in Gameweek 8 against Fulham, and this is the kind of game where Saka could end up returning tremendous attacking returns. We highly suggest you go for him as the fixture is too good to ignore the player considering his abilities.
