The Gameweek 8 deadline is Friday 23 October at 18:30. Everything below rests on MFF's projections, which are estimates and not promises. Prices, ownership and injury notes come from FPL.
MFF's Team of the Week
This is the best 15 inside FPL's £100m rules by MFF's projections. It plays a 3-5-2, costs £95.9m and has a projected 62 points. Mbeumo is captain and Rogers vice-captain.
- Calafiori (Arsenal, £6m) leads the defenders on 5.3 projected points against Everton.
- Bogle (Leeds United, £4.7m) is the cheapest of the three defenders, projected 4.6 away to Sunderland.
- B.Fernandes (Man Utd, £11.8m) is the most expensive player in the XI, projected 5.5 against Bournemouth.
Captain pick
Mbeumo (Man Utd, £7.8m, 20.5% owned) is MFF's top projection of the week at 6.1 points. Man Utd host Bournemouth, with club expected goals of 1.9.
The alternative is Rogers (Chelsea, £8m, 48.1% owned), projected 6 points at home to Tottenham. Chelsea's expected goals figure of 2.1 is the highest in this week's data.
Standout pick in each position
- Goalkeeper: Raya (Arsenal, £6.1m) v Everton, projected 4.4. Arsenal's clean sheet chance is 50%.
- Defender: Calafiori (Arsenal, £6m) v Everton, projected 5.3.
- Midfielder: Saka (Arsenal, £9.6m) v Everton, projected 5.8.
- Forward: Haaland (Man City, £15.7m) at Aston Villa, projected 5.3, the top figure among forwards. He is 76.8% owned and is not in MFF's team.
Value pick
Davis (Ipswich Town, £4m, 7.4% owned) is projected 4.1 points at home to Nottingham Forest. That is a strong return for the lowest price on the list.
Differential
Enciso (Ipswich Town, £5.5m) is owned by only 0.7% of managers. MFF projects 4.6 points against Nottingham Forest, and he starts in our Team of the Week.
Fixture runs to plan around
Over the next six gameweeks, the easiest runs belong to Brighton, Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea. The hardest belong to Coventry City, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Newcastle. Wissa (Newcastle, £6.1m) is in our XI this week at Crystal Palace, but his club is on the hardest list.
Injury doubts
These are FPL's notes:
- FPL lists Szoboszlai (Liverpool, 19% owned) as injured with a hamstring injury and no known return date.
- FPL lists Semenyo (Man City, 12% owned) as injured with a knee injury and no known return date.
- FPL lists O'Reilly (Man City, 9.2% owned) as doubtful with a back injury, a 75% chance of playing.
- FPL lists Brobbey (Sunderland, 5.5% owned) as doubtful with a hamstring injury, a 75% chance of playing.
- FPL lists Pedro Porro (Tottenham, 4.9% owned) as injured and expected back on 24 October.
