Fantasy Premier League: Foden heads list of five players you should target for Gameweek Eight

Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League is almost upon us, and there are a few interesting names worth looking at ahead of the weekend. Phil Foden might finally be finding his feet again at Manchester City, while some cheaper options are putting up numbers that deserve more attention.

Here are five players I'd consider bringing in this week. Alex Iwobi Price: 5.4m Ownership: 1.1% Position: Midfielder Opponent: COV (A), AVL (A), NEW (H) Fulham's season hasn't exactly taken off, but Iwobi is worth a look if you need a cheap midfielder.

He finally scored against Hull last weekend and his involvement was hard to miss: four shots from close range and 12 successful passes into the opposition box. He's also created six big chances this season, despite having no assists to show for it.

That's the sort of number that can turn into points quickly if his team-mates start finishing. Coventry away is up next, followed by Villa and Newcastle.

At 5.4m and barely one per cent ownership, Iwobi could prove a handy differential rather than just another bench filler. Bryan Mbeumo Price: 7.8m Ownership: 20.5% Position: Midfielder Opponent: BOU (H), CHE (A), AVL (H) There hasn't been much to celebrate at Manchester United, but Mbeumo has quietly become a very decent FPL pick.

Four goals and an assist in seven matches, with 4.84 expected goal involvements, isn't the sort of output you can dismiss as luck. More importantly, he's played every league minute and keeps getting shots away from dangerous positions.

Bournemouth come to Old Trafford having struggled to shut teams out, which should suit his habit of drifting inside from the right. Chelsea away in Gameweek 9 is tougher, but Villa at home follows.

At 7.8m, I'd rather buy his goal threat than pay a premium for Bruno Fernandes. Phil Foden Price: 6.8m Ownership: 1.9% Position: Midfielder Opponent: AVL (A), BHA (H), NFO (A) Foden looks like one of those transfers that could be brilliant in a fortnight or leave you tearing your hair out over the team sheet.

He scored against Ipswich last weekend, then followed it with a hat-trick against AEK Athens in midweek. Four goals in two games is a pretty convincing argument that his old form might be returning.
