Find out who our #BLFantasy panel are recommending as star players for Matchday 8
[Thread] β¬οΈβ¬οΈ
π | @FBLThinker | DEF | AngeliΓ±o
The Leipzig left wing-back has come into prominence since the team switched to 3 at the back and looks like capturing his past form. In the game against Bochum, he recorded 4 crosses, 1 shot, and created 1 big chance.
π² | @FBLThinker | DEF | Martin Hinteregger
A home game against Hertha who have found difficulty scoring means a clean sheet is possible. With 0.6 xG there is a good chance of him getting more goals with Hertha Berlin having conceded 2 goals from corners (XGA for corners 1.9).
π | @FantasyblS | MID | Filip KostiΔ
Kostic seems to be regaining the form that made him the key asset in past seasons. With 17p vs FCB, we can only imagine how big he can score vs most conceding team BSC. Kostic is the 3rd best MID regarding Goals+Assists+Shots (40pts)
π² | @FantasyblS | MID | Lars Stindl
While most managers gave up on Stindl, I still have faith in him. Stindl has played 70min in all games. He already made a 20pt game this season and has the potential to do it again. BMG next five fixtures should help achieve it.
π | @Schick_Happens | FWD | Andrej KramariΔ
There are no true safe picks in MD8, but there is a lot to like about KramariΔβs situation. Heβs had two double-digit scores in a row, he plays in the early kickoff, and he faces a KΓΆln defense that has failed to keep a CS all season.
π² | @Schick_Happens | FWD | Fabian Klos
Klosβs best performances have come against bottom table teams with leaky defences, much like Augsburg. In a week where Haaland and Lewandowski have difficult games, it might be worth a punt on a froward who plays in the final match of MD8.

π£οΈ Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha: "The options that he has to participate in the game on Saturday depends on whether he plays this final [Brazil] game tonight, how many minutes he plays, how he finishes the game... [cont]"
π£οΈ Bielsa on Raphinha: "...after he has participated in it, how efficient the rest he can have in the next 36 hours is considering that a third of those will be spent flying, and if there's any risk that the fatigue could cause injuries, then we won't risk him."
Wolverhampton Wanderers have one of the best runs of fixtures in the division from Gameweek 4 onwards, stretching right the way through to Gameweek 14.
For Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who prioritise fixtures over form, and especially for those on a Wildcard, Wolvesβ defensive and attacking options are seriously worth considering.
Wolves sit top of our Season Ticker over the next 11 Gameweeks.
A manager losing their first three league matches in charge of a club is usually a cause for alarm but it doesnβt tell the full story here, as Bruno Lage has weirdly generated much optimism about his Wolves side after some well-rounded displays.
πΈ Trent Alexander-Arnold made it 7.75 points per match in his last 12 appearances with a double-digit haul against Burnley.
[1/8]
πΈ Kostas Tsimikas followed suit with an 11-point return but the presence of the fit-again Andrew Robertson on the Liverpool bench does perhaps signal that the budget defenderβs run in the side could be coming to an end.
[2/8]
πΈ Brentford and Liverpool are the only two sides with two Premier League clean sheets to their names so far this season. The Bees have allowed just one big chance in 2021/22 to date.
