FPL team of the week - GW8

Goalkeeper

Robin Roefs (Sunderland)

Robin Roefs has been one of the top players who has played a key role in Sunderland's surprise success in the Premier League so far. With Sunderland facing Wolves at home, there's high scope for both clean sheet and save points for FPL players.


Defenders

Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea)

Trevoh Chalobah has made a remarkable comeback at Chelsea, as he has gone from being unwanted to now establishing himself as a starting defender for the club. The away fixture against Nottingham Forest makes Chalobah a really attractive FPL defender option for GW8, especially due to the recent struggles of Forest.


Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal)

Riccardo Calafiori is the cheapest Arsenal defender you can get right now who regularly starts, thus making him an excellent budget-oriented pick for Gameweek 8. Additionally, his amazing attacking potential also makes him even more attractive as an FPL option.


Maxime Estève (Burnley)

If you're ever going to pick Maxime Estève in your Fantasy Premier League team, then this might be the best Gameweek to do it. He is undoubtedly the best cheap defender you can get for GW8, and the home fixture against Leeds United could see him return with decent points.


Midfielders

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah loves to score against Manchester United, and coupled with the fact that Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield in GW8, You simply cannot avoid him.


Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea)

Moisés Caicedo is slowly establishing himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League. He is now slowly adding an attacking element to his game as well, and the fixture against Forest looks absolutely perfect for him to give you some unbelievable returns.


Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Bukayo Saka is back to his best version for Arsenal, and thus you're most likely to get at least some attacking returns in majority games. Fulham away looks really tempting to pick him.


Granit Xhaka (Sunderland)


Forwards

João Pedro (Chelsea)

João Pedro has slowed down a bit for Chelsea in recent weeks, but the fixture against Nottingham Forest, who have been extremely horrible defensively under Ange Postecoglou, serves as the perfect game to make a grand comeback.


Nick Woltemade (Newcastle United)

Nick Woltemade has had an almost perfect start to life at Newcastle United, and we expect the dream run to continue against Brighton, who aren't the best team from a defensive perspective.


Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Erling Haaland is currently in such frightening form right now that the opposition doesn't even matter, as he is expected to score in every game he plays. Nothing more to say here, just pick him.


Bench

Carlos Baleba (midfielder, Brighton)


Quilindschy Hartman (defender, Burnley)


Nordi Mukiele (defender, Sunderland)
