<p>The FPL fixtures chart uses the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker" aria-label="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub’s fixture ticker</a>, focusing on attack for the next four gameweeks.</p>
<p>The form charts also have attack in mind, studying the number of goals scored per game, while reflecting the format of the site's ticker.</p>
<p>We'll also be considering AI-recommended player picks from clubs flying high in the table.</p>
<h2>Who has the best FPL form ahead of Gameweek 8?</h2>
<p>Goalscoring potential (GS) is my custom measure of a team's attacking form from their previous games. It is impacted by goals scored, goals conceded and match outcome.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58552" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-05-at-13.14.08.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1553" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arsenal top the form chart having scored 10 goals in their last four games, ranking third for xG in this time on a 8.92 metric.</p>
<p>Managers are still waiting for news on the fitness of <strong>Bukayo Saka (£8.6m) </strong>but unless he's ruled out long term, he must be an absolute hold given his current form.</p>
<p>Saka is predicted to score 20.8 points over the next four gameweeks according to Hub AI, with <strong>Martin Odegaard (£8.5m) </strong>also in the top 10. The duo have been sharing penalty duties.</p>
<p>Spurs sit second as their form continues, with three wins in their last four games and 11 goals scored in that period.</p>
<p>They are top for shots (86) in this period, with <strong>Son Heung-min (£9.3m) </strong>and <strong>James Maddison (£8.0m) </strong>the key contributors with more than 10 shots each. The double up is highly viable.</p>
<p>Manchester City are in third and shouldn't be discounted despite the challenge in their upcoming fixtures.</p>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.1m) </strong>is predicted to score 34 points in the next four gameweeks and remains the top captain pick for this period, while second is <strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) </strong>on 27.6 predicted points.</p>
<h2>Who has the best attacking FPL Gameweek 8 fixtures?</h2>
<p>The fixture ticker returns to its normal outlook following Double Gameweek 7 and gives a clear view on which sides to target.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58553" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-05-at-13.17.02.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1267" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Liverpool top the chart, with their fixtures between Gameweek 9 and Gameweek 11 providing particular appeal - facing Everton, Nottingham Forest and Luton.</p>
<p>Aston Villa are right up there with Liverpool, which bodes well after their 6-1 defeat of Brighton. <strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.0m) </strong>is now the top target but <strong>Moussa Diaby (£6.7m) </strong>isn't far behind in the predicted points, with both now viable.</p>
<p><strong>Crystal Palace </strong>sit third but with some key personnel absent through injury it means that there's little investment appeal. <strong>Sam Johnstone (£4.5m) </strong>is predicted to be their top FPL performer over the next four.</p>
<h2>Which team has the best balance of form and fixtures?</h2>
<p>With a full picture of form numbers, looking ahead to the next four gameweeks, there’s one team with a significant gap ahead of the rest of the top four.</p>
