FPL Gameweek 8 – head-to-head comparisons: Raheem Sterling vs Heung-Min Son

After missing a host of chances, Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) finally got onto the scoresheet against Everton in Gameweek 7 in the 84^th minute to end a scoreless drought that had lasted since Gameweek 3. Heung-Min Son (£9.7m) continued his recent purple patch with an assist in Spurs’ 2-1 win at home to Southampton. Both midfielders scored in their respective Champions League games in midweek and both will be looking to add to their accounts in Gameweek 8. Despite Son’s fixture away at Brighton looking enticing, Man City playing at home against a Wolves side fresh from a tough Europa League game in Istanbul three days earlier leads us to look at Sterling as the preferred pick here.

Verdict: Raheem Sterling
