Best value transfers for Gameweek 8
Player Team Opponent Price Projected Points per £m Owned Why
Vuskovic Brighton Liverpool (A) £5.1m 6.5 1.3 5.6% Vuskovic tops the value chart at 1.3 points per million despite Brighton's difficult away fixture at Liverpool. His form of 9.5 suggests recent strong returns.
Thomas Coventry City Fulham (H) £4.0m 5.1 1.3 9.3% Thomas at Coventry City faces Fulham at home with balanced difficulty ratings. At 4.0m, he offers budget flexibility with projected 5.08 points.
De Cuyper Brighton Liverpool (A) £5.3m 6.1 1.1 41.0% De Cuyper's form of 10.5 is the highest in the list, though his 41.0 ownership and 5.3m price limit differential appeal against Liverpool away.
Van Hecke Spurs Chelsea (A) £4.9m 5.2 1.1 6.8% Van Hecke at Spurs faces Chelsea away with a 4 difficulty rating. His 4.9m price and 6.8 ownership provide moderate value in defence.
Bogle Leeds Sunderland (A) £4.7m 5.0 1.1 10.1% Bogle's form of 1.5 is concerning despite Leeds' balanced fixture at Sunderland. His 4.7m price reflects limited recent output.
Verbruggen Brighton Liverpool (A) £4.6m 4.6 1.0 22.6% Verbruggen offers goalkeeper value at 4.6m, though Brighton's Liverpool away fixture presents a defensive challenge with 4 difficulty.
Groß Brighton Liverpool (A) £6.2m 5.9 1.0 45.3% Groß's 5.89 projected points lead the list, but his 45.3 ownership and 6.2m price make him a consensus pick rather than a differential option.
Affengruber Fulham Coventry City (A) £4.5m 4.3 0.9 0.7% Affengruber at Fulham costs 4.5 with projected 4.27 points and ownership of just 0.7 per cent, though form of 4.5 is modest for an away fixture.
Silva Bournemouth Man Utd (A) £5.0m 4.7 0.9 0.6% Silva at Bournemouth costs 5.0m with minimal 0.6 ownership. Man Utd away presents a 4 difficulty rating for the visitor.
Justin Leeds Sunderland (A) £4.5m 4.1 0.9 2.1% Justin at Leeds faces Sunderland away with balanced difficulty. His 4.5m price and 2.1 ownership offer modest differential value.
