III) Prince
FPL Prince is shopping for defenders in FPL Gameweek 8 and it’s certainly an area where FPL managers can save funds but still get on board some top defences. Prices are quickly rising though.
There is serious value in defence this year:

VII) Statman
Aguero remains top of the scoring charts and it’s great to see the English players dominating in this department. Aubameyang and Wilson make the shortlist after returning in every Premier League game.

??????? Tammy Abraham (7)
?? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (7)
?? Teemu Pukki (6)

VIII) Wilson
Riyad Mahrez is close to matching De Bruyne for assists this season and Scott from Fantasy Football Pundits is recommending him as a replacement if the Belgian is out long-term.
?KDB injured
?B. Silva looking at a 6 game ban
?Only 3.9% owned
?1 point less than Stering
?£3.6m cheaper than SterlingIs now the time to get Mahrez in? He’s in great form, and hearing Pep’s comments about him has filled me with confidence. #FPL
?MAHREZ IN ?

X) Dinnery
The key issue for many FPL managers is the length of time Kevin De Bruyne is set to be out. Ben Dinnery provides a vital update and the prognosis is promising.
Guardiola confirms De Bruyne's groin injury is "not serious" although the midfielder remains a doubt for Sunday. Likely to return after the international break. #MCFC
