As the dust begins to settle after last night’s match at the Bridge drew a line under Gameweek 1, we cast an eye back over the 11 matches played out. In particular, we analyse some impressive attacking performances at the back and, crucially, highlight a number of protagonists who stood head and shoulders above many of their team-mates last time out from an offensive point of view.

A bad start got just a little worse with this Anelka news. Oh well, guess that's forced my hand to get rid of the git, and probably take a 4-point hit in the process...

Thanks for the heads up on the new article you selfish b astards 👿

Who would you play if you didn't make the transfer?
Open Controls-
Collins.. I would like Zaba for gw 3 also when Kos has a tough fixture
Open Controls-
-
I suppose that's another reason to do it.
Do it. The game's more fun that way!
Just don't complain when he blanks and Collins returns pointsOpen Controls

I don't think it really warrants a hit. Just do it for free next week, unless your FT for next week is already spoken for, then maybe...

Already done a hit before this Anelka news. Have been debating whether to wildcard or not to get in my preferred front line of RVP, Tekkers and Soldado. hmmm...
Open Controls-
same same but different

Or replace Stur with Giroud...I'm tellin' ya, 20 goals is attainable. People continue to sleep on him.

Hey guys if you had my (poor) squad would you WC!?
Mannone, Lewis
Ivan, Ward, Olsson (Nor), Baines, Baker,
Haz, Michu, Huddlestone, Walcott, Pennant,
Rvp, Anelka, Lukaku,Open Controls-
I would wait until next week and get in all the price risers from Saturday and Sunday, scoop up the extra money then change to your GW3 team on Friday/Saturday morning. Check price changes on "fiso"
Open Controls-
Cheers for the advice, I'll prob wait till GW3.

Depends. I am having a good laugh everyday at those that built a squad around RVP without doing the required research to make the team viable. I am no elitist and wouldn't consider myself good at FPL. 2 teams in my mini-league have the same problem. Also factor in that what if RVP gets a serious injury, straight red (unlikely i know) how will that affect you if you do WC now? Have you made any transfers yet this GW?
Open Controls -
You have a GK that doesn't start, Lukaku, and Anelka. Not to mention Ivanovic and Hazard won't be playing GW3.
Looks like a WC might be your only option if you don't want to take any hits.Open Controls-
And Baker's injured.

Mark, not sure if this is a common problem, but sometimes, i log in, and I'm still not logged in, if that makes any sense? Just now, i logged in 5 times and it still said i wasn't logged in.
Open Controls-
Mmm..not had reports of that as an issue. It's likely a cookie thing. Can you mail me at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk
Open Controls-
Yeah it might just be my firefox needing updating or cache need clearing. I'll give that a go and see if it helps.

Similar has happened to me.
Did it say in the top right hand corner that you were logged in? It says I am but sometimes when I go to comment it says "log in to reply"Open Controls

ok guys, Terry hazard and lukaku. Whats my play this week in your opinions??
Open Controls-
I'm in the same boat PLUS Kos. I think your chance of having Lukaku score against ManU outweighs the chance of Terry scoring or having a clean sheet. If you have a decent defender on the bench you may even consider Lukaks out and benching Terry.

Apparently Anelka's agent has died. Now I feel bad.
Open Controls-
isn't his agent his brother?
Open Controls -
Maybe, the club has said they have given him time off on compassionate grounds.
Open Controls -
Isn't it his brother? Now I think we can understand his actions.
Open Controls -
Ahhh same here.
Open Controls -
yeah looks like it. sad news.

To those now considering transferring out Anelka, what is your plan?
I mean, he's only 5.5 and thus there aren't any viable 1:1 transfers. Therefore, you're committing at least two transfer to get him out.
Where will you be pulling the funds from to upgrade him?
(I warned you guys about this!)Open Controls-
Hazard to Silva, Anelka to JRod is one option I'd consider but I'll probably do a short-term fix first - Maiga or Cornelius - I'm set up for a 4-5-2 so, tbh, it's only an issue for GW3 when I've 2 Chelsea and 1 Villa on my bench. I'm not panicking yet but I am exposed to further injuries and bans for GW3.
Open Controls-
You went big for GW1 and it looks like you may pay for it!
I don't think you can target Jrod until we know more.Open Controls

And if you don't do it quick, he could drop in price. Get a move on. 🙂

Loads of £5.5m attacking options out there then......

Baker, Ivan & Hazard

Zaba Siva & Coleman*

Interesting stuff. I was looking at this feature the other day and 1 thing that I think would improve it is a list of which players are which numbers. I was googling squad numbers to see who was who.
Open Controls-
Hover over tells the name?
Open Controls-
Knew I'd be missing something simple. Thanks.
Open Controls-
No problem. I'm a big fan of the pitch maps. Tell you a lot especially when you apply chances created by zone on top of them
Open Controls-
Nice tip. I've only really been using season ticker and RMT so far but just had a little play with them. HBA's positioning is pretty astounding. Surprised by Tonev's too.

A quick head up for anyone in the UK, ITV4 has both the Spurs and Swansea games today, Spuds kick off at 5.00pm is gmt.
Open Controls-
thanks, woulda missed a scouting opportunity.
Open Controls
-
-
Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose; Capoue, Paulinho; Townsend, Dembele, Sigurdsson; Soldado
Open Controls-
why play soldado?
Open Controls-
Because they want to win the football match, would be my guess.
Open Controls -
soldado needs the fitness. this like the palace match is essentially still pre-season for him
Open Controls
-
-
Dembele CAM eh..
Open Controls -
wtf why soldado...
Open Controls-
According to Demi it's because they want to win, which sounds ridiculous to me...why would they want that?
Open Controls
-
-
So could Defoe start at the weekend?
Open Controls-
I think they'd start Soldado in his first home game.
Open Controls

Damn, hopefully just a 60m run out.
That's putting me right off Soldado (c) thoughOpen Controls

Oscar or Hazard out
Silva or Coutinho in

I'll not waste any breath making fun of Anelka owners. If Soldado gets hurt in the Europa match today, I'm just as screwed.

WTF? Just logged on to see this:

Bloody hell! and he is in my team - dont know whether to laugh or cryOpen Controls-

Any Fulham fans out there know how nailed on Kasami is? Needing a 4.5 to get in Dzeko for Anelka
Open Controls -
Who did everyone swap out for Lukaku? I've already got Tekkers and Soldado
Open Controls-
I'm stuck on this as well. Considering Giroud, Bony & Lambert...
Open Controls-
Giroud on PKs without Arteta? Makes you think....

Aguero. Same trio.

Aguero would be a good shout but I've always been stung when transferring him in.

Cracking score this GW 🙂

Anelkas agent died, he hasn't retired

Interesting to note with the Spurs team. Kaboul is captain even though Dawson starts
Open Controls-
Maybe because he's the captain, would be my guess.

AVB still going for that Thursday night trophy it seems
Maybe he would like to reach QFs again and let it ruin their Premier league campaign. Thinks he is still at Porto where people actually care about such tournaments.

If yes how many?Open Controls
