EPL Supercoach | Buy, Hold, Sell Gameweek 8

A bang-average score of 127 for me this week.



With my different approach of holding more trades to finish stronger, I decided to hold Bruno. I thought I’d held long enough now that he’s only a converted penalty away from bottoming out in price. I could be completely wrong on that…he still looks God-awful and is this year’s Mo Salah.



Price changes are so extreme in the game, and I feel good about not chasing too much, but boy, do you need some luck as well.



For instance, I held Schade, who came off the bench for a yellow card, one point, and a £2M loss. Cherki was about to come on but didn’t and preserved his price.



Points > cash is my motto, but there needs to be a bit of both; otherwise, I’m falling very far behind in total team value and won’t be able to match the coaches above me.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy</h2>



Jack Hinshelwood (£6.48M, Brighton MID, B/E -22)



He’s coming back from injury, and he might get eased back slowly, but he’s a gun and always finds a way to net a goal.



Igor Thiago (£7.15M, Brentford FWD, B/E 4)



I like him as a gamble this week against Hull if you need someone at this price point.



António Silva (£4.38M, Bournemouth DEF, B/E 5)



Coming into a nice run of fixtures off a better defensive display, albeit against 10 men. He had the most touches and impressive 11 clearances.

Gabriel Magalhães (£7.97M, Arsenal DEF, B/E 6)



Completely bottomed out in price and ripe for the picking. Easy long-term pick.



David Raya (£8.49M, Arsenal GKP, B/E 7)



Home to Everton, who have Barry missing every chance, seems a good time to bring the best keeper in the game in.



Marcus Tavernier (£9.60M, Bournemouth MID, B/E 11)



Coming off a goal and has great fixtures coming up, starting with Man United this week…



Anton Stach (£9.34M, Leeds MID, B/E 13)



You cannot go wrong with this bloke.  



<a id='Yfz1Y9TMSM9L1Wm1Hckh9Q' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2300084609' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Yfz1Y9TMSM9L1Wm1Hckh9Q',sig:'oHOmN50RpiDc3wPCWqmlSm-Kas6fFX_ro19Wj6EsU0w=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2300084609',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hold</h2>



Pedro Neto (£9.73M, Chelsea MID, B/E -8)



You are just chasing last week&#8217;s points. Ignore him.



Phil Foden (£6.88M, Man City MID, B/E 10)



He has hit form and is coming off a Champions League hatty, but you just can’t trust his minutes, even with Semenyo out for two months.



Lewis Hall (£9.03M, Newcastle DEF, B/E 18)



I’d give him one more week despite Newcastle in tatters. His base stats numbers are right up there with the best.



Pascal Groß (£15.89M, Brighton MID, B/E 27)



Unlucky not to get an assist for the own goal, and I wouldn’t be trading out one of the best assets in the game because he has Liverpool. Same goes for the Brighton defenders.



<a id='79nCySaOR91GU4wnR_jiAg' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2300665080' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'79nCySaOR91GU4wnR_jiAg',sig:'ivXcG-UdpS9WmaoSCQxArKPnEF53irPziPzFa_tTUYk=',w:'594px',h:'402px',items:'2300665080',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sell</h2>



Antoine Semenyo (£10.92M, Man City FWD, B/E 29)



Zero point holding someone at this price who is not back until GW16 at best.



Dominik Szoboszlai (£8.22M, Liverpool MID, B/E 21)



Played him when he wasn’t 100% right and paid the price. Will miss a few weeks and not going well enough to hold anyway, unless you’re flying and your bench is strong.



Jérémy Jacquet (£8.08M, Liverpool DEF, B/E 14)



He’s been ultra impressive, and his base stats are very solid, but he’s my ticket to Gabriel, and Brighton followed by Arsenal is as tough as it gets.



<a id='475TRJMhQQJxvZVcuUWozA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2301299740' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'475TRJMhQQJxvZVcuUWozA',sig:'JgbDKyNKYQgVlpAe1FXLNWu-9AGhaqos1jAJNOg_MfE=',w:'594px',h:'388px',items:'2301299740',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



Carl Rushworth (£6.31M, Coventry GKP, B/E 13)



It’s a great matchup at home against a struggling Fulham, but if you can get to Raya, do it.



Martin Ødegaard (£6.45M, Arsenal MID, B/E 12)



I ended up moving him on for Henderson last week, and I’m glad I did. I’m not sure what’s happened to him. 



He’s not shooting, not producing key passes, and not getting base stats. He’s just running, and you don’t get points for distance covered.
