FPL Gameweek 8 Fixtures Ranked – Best Teams to Target
With FPL Gameweek 8 Fixtures Ranked, we can get a clear picture of which teams are best to target and which to avoid. Looking at the schedule this way helps highlight the strongest opportunities for points, making it easier to plan transfers and captaincy picks.
In this guide, we’ll run through the standout fixtures, potential traps, and the sides most worth backing this week.
Fixture Ticker
Using the Fantasy Football Scout Fixture Ticker, we can see that teams with best fixtures are positioned near the top, whilst the teams positioned towards the bottom have the worst fixtures.
Who has the best fixtures?
Burnley sit top of the Fantasy Football Scout Fixture Ticker ahead of Gameweek 8. Burnley come up against fellow promoted side Leeds at home, and they head into the match ranking worst in the league for expected goals.
Alternatively, Leeds also have huge potential. Of the two promoted sides Leeds have had a better start to life in the Premier League – sitting four points above their upcoming opposition. FPL managers with their Bench Boost chip remaining could be eyeing it up this week.
Wolves also have good potential this week according to the ticker. However, upcoming opposition and promoted side Sunderland won’t be easily beaten. The Black Cats sit ninth after an excellent start to the season, whilst Wolves dwell at the pits of the Premier League standings.

Who has the worst fixtures?
Manchester United face old rivals Liverpool in Gameweek 8, a fixture that hasn’t served them well in recent years. The Reds head into the game in mixed form – winning two and losing two of their last four matches.
Another side who have it tough this week is Fulham. The Cottagers face an in-form Arsenal who have won their last four matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, Fulham have kept just one clean sheet all season – which highlights how poor they have been defensively.
FPL managers may also look to avoid starting Everton assets this week. An away match against Manchester City lies ahead for the Toffees, who have started the season fairly well from a results perspective.
