Watchlist
Top manager, Matthew Jones, updates the watchlist thread for Gameweek 8. Among the new additions, are a budget striker with great underlying statistics and a Brighton midfielder finding form at just the right time.MY FPL WATCHLIST *post GW7 update*- these are the players who I am currently considering getting in (and don’t already have) and out. Obviously this is partly driven by my own squad but hopefully it offers some insight.

Salah
Many managers are looking to sell Mo Salah this week, to afford Harry Kane. His performances have been steady to date, but the Fantasy Football Pundits team advise a look at the upcoming fixtures before hitting the transfer button.With a fixture run as glorious as this one, if you’ve stuck by Mo Salah this long you aren’t about to let him go now – are you? ? pic.twitter.com/DVDWFbrOHJ

Captains
Kane may be the standout captain pick for our Gameweek 8 tips, but the 30% of managers without the England captain in their squads are forced to search elsewhere. Check out a trio of credible alternatives in this weeks FPLBet captains article.?✈️GW8 CAPTAINS?✈️

Injuries
There was positive news coming from West Ham this week about the fitness of Arnautovic ahead of the Friday Night match. He’s expected to feature, despite struggling with a series of niggling injuries in recent weeks.Expect Arnautovic to feature on Friday night. "We are monitoring every[one]. It's difficult for a player to be 100 per cent in every game. Marko played with great intensity in the last game and he gave more spirit to the team." #WHUFC

Kane
The appeal of captaincy makes a potential move for Harry Kane highly tempting this weekend. However, many serious fantasy managers are keen to think about the long-term structure of their squads.On Kane or not to Kane? ?
— FPL Prince ? (@TheFPLPrince) October 4, 2018
He'll do well against Cardiff no doubt but long term I wouldn't get rid of Salah, Hazard or Aguero. If it's a free transfer to bring Kane in then fair enough but for a -4 I'm just not convinced in the long term it's worth it. #FPL
Picks
The FPL Editor returns with the top 5 players to own in Gameweek 8 and Harry Kane takes all of the headlines. However, there’s still some differentials worth considering behind the Spurs striker.? GW8 Top Five Key Players ?

Cardiff
FPL Fly has come up with a new strategy for fantasy managers, which involves doubling up on teams who face Cardiff. They look to be the weakest team in the Premier League and face some popular FPL assets in the next few weeks.My new #FPL rule of thumb is to always try and field two players facing Cardiff:#GW8: Kane & Trippier#GW9: Mitrovic & Schürrle #GW10: Salah & Robertson#GW11: Vardy & Maddison#GW12: Murray & Groß#GW13: Richarlison & Coleman#GW14: Bennett & Jiminez#GW15: Arnautovic & Diop

Tip
There’s wise words from the FPL General ahead of the deadline. Kane has never scored against Cardiff, Aguero has never scored at Anfield and Mo Salah has a great record against Manchester City. Helpful or meaningless?Two things that never influence my FPL decisions.
— FPL General (@FPLGeneral) October 5, 2018
1. The day/time a game is on
2. A players previous record vs a particular club.
