What the model recommends

Captain B.Fernandes — a rating of 59/100 makes him the safest armband in gameweek 8, with Sarr (54/100) the differential alternative.

No transfer stands out strongly this week — save the free transfer.

Only take a -4 hit if the incoming player beats your outgoing option by more than four points across your planning horizon.
