The English Premier League returns this weekend after a two-week international break, bringing us to Gameweek 8 of the 2024/25 season. With seven gameweeks now behind us, both the Premier League and Bet9ja Fantasy League tables are starting to take shape, but there’s still plenty of time and incentive to climb the ranks.
Bet9ja continues to offer exciting rewards, including a monthly cash prize of 350,000 NGN for top performers, while a massive grand prize awaits the top-ranked manager at the end of the campaign.
In this article, we’ll review the top-performing managers in the Bet9ja League and look ahead to Gameweek 8 of the Premier League:

Bet9ja FPL Top Managers
Gameweek 7 brought a shake-up at the top of the Bet9ja League rankings. Kehinde Mustapha’s MK slipped from first place after two weeks at the summit, managing just 45 points in a challenging round.
Olusegun Ogunwemimo’s 09 FC surged into the top spot with an impressive 77 points, bringing their total to 533—seven points ahead of second-placed MK.
09 FC made a great choice by captaining Bukayo Saka, who contributed 32 points with two assists and a goal in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Southampton. Several other players also delivered strong performances, with Wout Faes, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bryan Mbeumo, Cole Palmer, and Kai Havertz all scoring six points or more.
09 FC will now be looking to hold onto first place for successive weeks, something MK managed earlier in the season.
Best Gameweek 8 Picks
Erling Haaland may have blanked in Manchester City’s last two matches, but he remains a top pick for both your squad and captaincy in Gameweek 8. City face Wolves, who have conceded 21 goals in seven league games—the most in the division.
Phil Foden could also be a great option, with the attacking midfielder likely to start in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne.
Arsenal’s Gabriel has been a consistent performer for many FPL teams this season, and he could be a brilliant choice again as the Gunners take on Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka, who scored 16 points in the last gameweek, is also a top pick for this weekend.
Brennan Johnson has been on fire for both club and country, scoring in each of his last seven appearances across all competitions. With Tottenham facing West Ham, who have shown vulnerability in defence, Johnson is sure to get chances and, given his current form, is more than capable of converting.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest’s Nikola Milenkovic and Chris Wood have been highlighted by FPL’s ‘The Scout’ as strong options against a struggling Crystal Palace side.
