Emiliano Martinez (AVL) (£4.8 m) | Opponent: ARS(A): Martinez and Villa would be gutted after conceding four goals against Southampton. Expect them to tighten up at the back, and that gives Martinez a good chance of getting a clean sheet and some FPL points.


Defenders:

Vladimir Coufal is a great budget FPL option.

Vladimir Coufal (WHU)- £4.5 m| Opponent: FUL(H): West Ham has been brilliant defensively, and with some easy fixtures coming up, they should keep a lot of clean sheets. Coufal is a great FPL option because he can get those clean sheet points and some attacking returns.

Kyle Walker-Peters (SOU) - £4.5 m | Opponent: NEW(H): Southampton has done a remarkable job in defense with their high-line foiling many opposition attacks. Walker-Peters is a good budget FPL option from the team and also offers attacking returns.

Ben Chilwell (CHE)- £5.8 m| Opponent: SHU(H): Ben Chilwell has taken to life as a Chelsea player with remarkable ease. He is on set-pieces and is a really creative player. Against a team like Sheffield, he's guaranteed to get a lot of FPL points.


Midfielders:

Grealish rewarded his FPL owners with a 15-point haul in Gameweek 7.

Heung-Min Son (TOT) (MID) (£9.3 m) | Opponent: WBA(A): Son has been in red-hot form this season. He's one of the best FPL captaincy options in this Gameweek because Spurs takes on West Brom, who have conceded the most goals this season.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) - £12.0 m | Opponent: MCI(A): Mohamed Salah has proved that he can score against any opposition. He's one of the best available FPL options and can get some returns even in this tricky fixture.

Wilfried Zaha (CRY)- £7.2 m | Opponent: LEE(H): Leeds United have been leaky at the back in some games, and someone like Zaha can really trouble their defense. He's also on penalties, and his increased chance of attacking returns makes him a great FPL option.

Jack Grealish (AVL)- £7.2 m | Opponent: ARS(A): Grealish produced a brilliant performance to reward his FPL owners in the previous Gameweek. Villa has done well against strong oppositions, and Grealish will be their main man in attack. He's due some more FPL points.

Bruno Fernandes (MUN) - £10.5 m | Opponent: EVE(A): Fernandes didn't really influence United's last game. However, with Martial returning to the team, they should start playing their natural game, and that guarantees FPL returns for Bruno Fernandes.


Forwards:

Callum Wilson(L) has made a great start at Newcastle.

Callum Wilson (NEW)- £6.5 m | Opponent: SOU(A): Callum Wilson has been a great signing for Newcastle as well as for FPL managers. With six goals and two assists in 7 games, Wilson has been extremely consistent, and he can be backed for more FPL points.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE)- £7.3 m | Opponent: MUN(H): Calvert-Lewin has been in phenomenal form this season. He's among the most-owned players in FPL, and he should continue to provide returns against any opposition.


Bench:

GK: Jed Steer (AVL) (£4.0 m) | Opponent: ARS(A):

1st Sub: Andrew Robertson (LIV) - £7.1 m | Opponent: MCI(A):

2nd Sub: Max Kilman (WOL)- £4.1 m| Opponent: LEI(A):

3rd Sub: Rhian Brewster (SHU) (£4.5 m) | Opponent: CHE(A):
