<h2>Chris Tan's Gameweek 8 fixture analysis</h2>
<p>Double Gameweek 7 was a disaster for many FPL managers but in this article, we predicted <strong>Son Heung-min (£9.3m)</strong> would do well against Liverpool and <strong>Bukayo Saka (£8.7m)</strong> would benefit from Bournemouth’s weaknesses - although he could have scored so much more if he'd taken all the penalties.</p>
<p>Now that horror show is over, we have one more week before another international break. For those looking for a rank boost to kick-start your season, who should you target?</p>

<h2><strong>FPL Gameweek 8 fixtures analysed</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Luton v Spurs</strong></h3>
<p>Spurs will be flying after beating Liverpool, although they were a tad lucky with some of the decisions.</p>
<p>Luton managed to get three valuable points against Everton but lost their six-pointer against Burnley. They have nothing to lose for this one.</p>
<p>The Hatters host Burnley on Tuesday night, which leaves them three days to recover for this fixture which is reasonable. However, Spurs have the entire week to prepare for this game and that gives them the advantage.</p>
