"After a well-timed rest over the international break and a midweek Champions League suspension between GW8 and 9 that keeps him fresh for league duty, Joao Pedro looks ready to kick back into rhythm. The Brazil forward's recent numbers won't turn heads yet, but Chelsea's run of fixtures might be the reset the 24-year-old needs. With Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Wolves and Burnley all on the horizon in the next five gameweeks, momentum could swing his way quickly."
"Aston Villa's set-up tends to draw defensive contributions from opponents, which suits Romero perfectly for their visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Romero is Tottenham's leading source for clearances, tackles, and interceptions, and this match-up could quietly turn into a rewarding clean sheet and bonus point week. Beyond his defensive contributions, Romero remains a lurking set piece threat - he's always sniffing around for that header when the delivery is right."
Gameweek 8 follows the international break with matchups that could accelerate form and returns for select players. Joao Pedro benefits from rest and a midweek Champions League suspension, plus a run of favourable fixtures against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Wolves and Burnley that could restore confidence and momentum. Cristian Romero offers defensive stability, leading Tottenham in clearances, tackles and interceptions, and presents clean sheet and set-piece upside versus Aston Villa. Nick Woltemade has three goals in four matches and penalty duties, emerging as a high-value budget forward option for managers seeking points and affordability.
