Best XI for Fantasy Premier League GW8: Are there a couple of surprises this week?

Goalkeeper: Robert Sanchez (4.6m, Brighton) vs Norwich City

In goal, I’ve gone with the Brighton stopper. Brighton have carried their stellar defensive underlying process from last season, into the current one.

They currently rank third-best for expected goals conceded (xGC) with a measly 6.92 in 7 games.

He’s up against a Norwich side struggling in front of goal; who haven’t just managed the second-worst xG total of 5.87, but are also underperforming that metric in terms of their true goals scored.

They’ve failed to score in 5 of their 7 games and I’m backing Sanchez to have a high chance of a clean sheet at a basement price this weekend.
