We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) picks for Gameweek 8 ahead of Saturday’s deadline.
The Scout Picks are partly chosen from the Scout Squad submissions made by Neale, Tom, Marc and Sam.
But as ever, we are limited by certain restrictions in our selection:
- An £83.0m budget for our starting XI
- An overall squad limit of £100.0m
- No more than three players per team
GOALKEEPER
The game’s second-highest-scoring goalkeeper, Arsenal’s David Raya (£5.6m), gets the nod between the posts.
The shut-outs may have dried up of late, but over the season, the Spaniard has brought in three clean sheets, seven save points and six bonuses.
An away trip to Bournemouth, who have failed to score in three of their last four matches, could be a great way for Raya to get back on track.

9 hours, 18 mins agoWC not really as set in stone template as it was a the past few weeks. WC’d myself mostly to get Haaland for the newer few fixtures, reluctant to get rid of any Arsenal as they’ve served me well so far without Haaland.
Sanchez, Kelleher
Gabriel, Robinson, VdV, Myko, VdB
Saka, Palmer, Mbeumo, ESR, Buonanotte
Haaland, Havertz, Raul
Bench still ends up being weak, could really do with Saka & Havertz being fit. No Spurs a concern? This is the team I picked after last GW ended and haven’t changed anything since, still not sure if there is anything I should. A 4.0 keeper would be nice also.
