Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 8 and 9 strategy
Overview
As the Gameweek 8 deadline on Friday, 23 October, approaches, Fantasy Premier League managers are refining captaincy and transfer strategies. Erling Haaland remains a primary captaincy candidate with 45% support in polls following a 13-point haul, while Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and João Pedro—who holds 17% support—are also being considered.
Transfer trends continue to show managers moving away from injured midfielders to target high-value assets like Bryan Mbeumo and Marcus Tavernier. Other players seeing significant activity include Pedro Neto, João Pedro, and Alexander Isak.
Looking toward Gameweek 9 and beyond, managers are beginning to plan wildcard drafts for the Gameweek 9 to 13 period. Strategic focus is shifting toward players with favorable fixture runs, specifically targeting assets from Tottenham, Coventry City, and Ipswich Town. A recommended £98.5m squad for this five-week window includes Haaland as captain, supported by players such as Cole Palmer, Bryan Mbeumo, and João Pedro.
