FPL GW8 Free Hit – Defenders
Looking at defenders in more detail
Guehi is the final piece.
FPL GW8 Free Hit – Forwards
And for forwards
Ekitike is a question mark for minutes.
Next on the list is Woltemade but looking at the fixture difficulty planner, Newcastle’s fixture is not the best.
Spurs & Sunderland have the best fixtures out of the teams where we haven’t reached our quota, but Richarlison is also a minutes risk.
Isidor is up there for Sunderland and his minutes don’t look nailed but not bad. He looks to be starting. And the fixture is decent, home for Wolves.
Goal Keepers
And almost forgot, goalkeepers
Roefs and Pope. Pope not ideal fixture against Brighton away. Roefs home against Wolves looks much better out of the two.
Final Free Hit Team GW8
We have too many players from Chelsea so Enzo out for Kudus. Spurs have a great fixture. Technically Pedro is the weakest Chelsea player not Enzo, but the step down in points to the next choice forward is bigger than going from Enzo to Kudus.
FPL GW8 – Conclusion
A team which should be in most people’s budget and it gives plenty of bench headache.
Bear in mind though that the international games have not happened so injuries might change the lineup.
