<h2><strong>Best FPL Players for Gameweek 8</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) – Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Bournemouth (a)</strong></p>
<p>Bukayo Saka has two goals and seven assists already and has only blanked in one game so far.</p>
<p>He is the clear talisman for Arsenal, and he's now doubt going to be his team's top points scorer again this season.</p>
<p>The Gunners have a decent fixture against Bournemouth in Gameweek 8, and Mikel Arteta's side will be strong favourites.</p>
<p>Saka has shown again this season that he is one of the best FPL options in the game and his consistency has been as good as ever.</p>
<p>The England international is also at a healthy 35% to score at any time. He has both goals and assists and is the first choice penalty taker.</p>
<p>Bukayo is the third highest predicted scoring player (7.0 points) for Gameweek 8 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£15.4m) –  Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (a)</strong></p>
<p>After scoring 10 goals in his first five league games, Erling Haaland has now blanked in his last two.</p>
<p>However Manchester City's next game comes against bottom of the table Wolves who have conceded the most goals (21) and they also have the third worst Expected Goals Conceded (xGC) with 13.6.</p>
<p>City haven't been at their best this season, but they aren't having any problems in the final third - scoring the most goals (17) so far with the fourth best xGC (13.83).</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola's side are also the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (52%) in Gameweek 8 so this does look like the perfect fixture for Haaland to get back to scoring ways.</p>
<p>He is nailed to start, on penalties and playing for one of the best teams in the world so will always be a good option regardless of the fixture and the game for him this week looks there for the taking.</p>
<p>Haaland is the favourite to score at any time (62%) in Gameweek 8, and he is also the second highest predicted scoring player (8.1 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Dominic Solanke </strong><strong>(£7.6m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Dominic Solanke has been ticking along nicely with two goals and one assist in five starts.</p>
<p>He has registered an xG of 3.5, so his underlying numbers look good for future goals, and he's been playing plenty of minutes too.</p>
<p>The ex-Bournemouth forward has now played 90 minutes in four of his five starts.</p>
<p>Spurs have a very good fixture in Gameweek 8 for attacking purposes.</p>
<p>West Ham are in the bottom seven for both goals conceded and xGC and we know how attacking this Tottenham team are.</p>
<p>Ange Postecolgou's team have scored 14 goals (fourth) and boast the best xG (15.53) in the league.</p>
<p>It will come as no surprise that they are the second most likely team to score 2.5+ goals (45%) in Gameweek 8.</p>
<p>Solanke is the second favourite to score at any time (50%) and the second highest predicted scoring forward (5.8 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Chelsea (H)</strong></p>
<p>The Egyptian king has had another good start to the season, with four goals and four assists alongside an xG of 4.0 and an xA of 1.4.</p>
<p>Liverpool sit top of the league and look a very compact side both going forward and at the back,</p>
<p>The Reds welcome Chelsea to Anfield where they will be strong favourites. Enzo Maresca's side have only conceded eight goals, but barring Manchester City in Gameweek 1 where they lost 2-0 their results have been pretty good.</p>
<p>Arne Slot's team have scored 13 goals (fifth) with an xG of 14.07 (third) and are still one of the best attacking sides in the league so this will be a tough test for the Blues.</p>
<p>They are actually the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (40%) which further backs up the fact that this is a good fixture for them from an attacking point of view.</p>
<p>Salah is also the number one penalty taker, and offers high goal and assist threat.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old is the highest predicted scoring player (8.2 points) for Gameweek 8 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m) – Manchester United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brentford (H)</strong></p>
<p>Bruno Fernandes has had probably his worst start to a season and this pick may raise a few eyebrows.</p>
<p>He only has one assist in his first seven games but his stats and past performances tell us that the attacking returns will come.</p>
<p>He has registered an xG of 1.9 and an xA of 1.4 and has a good fixture this week for attack.</p>
<p>Manchester United haven't been great at all this season but Brentford have been leaky - they have conceded 13 goals (fourth-most) with an xGC of 12.5 (fourth-worst)</p>
<p>Bruno is nailed to to start, will play 90 minutes in the majority of games, and is the first choice penalty taker as well as being on some set-pieces.</p>
<p>He has so many avenues to points, and looking at his past seasons I think his output will only increase.</p>
<p>The Portuguese has 46 goals and 39 assists in his previous four seasons.</p>
<p>Bruno is at 32% to score at any time, and he can also act as a great differential now at under 7% ownership.</p>
