The Digest – Gameweek 3

Our final look back at Gameweek 3 assesses Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero, City’s perfect combination of form and fixtures, and the growing competition for our attention in the Chelsea midfield…

The Player

Callum Wilson’s clinically taken hat-trick at Upton Park earned Bournemouth their first ever win in the Premier league and has sparked a major bandwagon across the Fantasy games.

With many wildcards being wielded, the Cherries lone frontman picked the perfect time to announce himself as a value candidate for our three-man frontlines, with over 166,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers snapping up his services. As Fantasy managers search for this year’s Charlie Austin, who scored 18 times for promoted QPR last term, Wilson has subsequently risen from 5.4 to his original 5.5 starting price.

Delving into the data further, Wilson’s displays suggest he’s a viable option both home and away. Thanks to his weekend showing, the Bournemouth frontman has now scored more away goals than any other player in the top four tiers since the start of last season (15), with Eddie Howe’s team tailor-made to utilise his pace and movement on the counter. The Cherries, meanwhile, have won 17 penalties since the start of last season – three more than any other club in the top four leagues.

With the Upton Park result handing them a major morale boost, Bournemouth can approach their upcoming fixtures with renewed confidence. Eddie Howe’s side racked up 98 goals on their way to winning the Championship last season and with the likes of Simon Francis, Matt Ritchie and Max Gradel all supplying the creativity, Wilson’s growing band of owners have every reason for optimism ahead of four very strong showdowns in the next five (LEI, nor, SUN, WAT).

The Team

After three rounds of fixtures, Manchester City look in ominous form after a 2-0 win at Everton continued their 100% start to the season.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men sit at the top of the table, with nine goals scored and a trio of clean sheets accrued, and with an outstanding schedule to follow, many Fantasy managers are scrambling to load up on their main men.

Up next for the Etihad side are four home matches (WAT, WHM, NEW, BOU) allied with trips to Palace and Spurs in the next six Gameweeks which should allow Sergio Aguero the chance to run riot as a captaincy option.

Whilst few will be willing to go into that period without the Argentine on board, the battle is on for our attentions further back. Yaya Toure and David Silva look the chief midfield protagonists, though Raheem Sterling threw his hat in the ring with an assist at Goodison – for those who cannot stretch to Silva’s 10.1 price tag, Sterling is now just 0.1 more expensive than the Ivorian (8.9 to 8.8).

At the back, Aleksandar Kolarov’s 15-point haul against the Toffees moved the left-back to joint-second in the overall FPL standings along with team-mate Vincent Kompany. Although the Belgian is, overall, the more secure pick, Kolarov’s raids down the left and understanding with Sterling have proven a key weapon in the opening three outings. With Gael Clichy still building up his sharpness, there’s a growing belief that Pellegrini will tinker as little as possible as he looks to maintain momentum and move further away from the chasing pack.

The Talking Point

It took Pedro just 20 minutes to announce himself to Fantasy managers after opening the scoring in Chelsea’s 3-2 win at West Brom on Sunday afternoon.

By the time the final whistle went at the Hawthorns, the Spaniard had also bagged an assist and maximum bonus points, serving up a 13-point haul on his debut for the defending champions. Given that Eden Hazard has managed just eight points in his first three appearances, it’s easy to see why over 190,000 FPL managers have already snapped up his new team-mate.

Coming in at 9.5 to Hazard’s 11.5, Pedro offers an obvious alternative to the pricier Belgian as a route into Chelsea’s attack. Whilst there’s no questioning Hazard’s Fantasy potential – 14 goals and ten assists in each of the last two seasons says it all – Pedro’s acquisition perhaps indicates that the former Lille man may not be quite as “essential” in many managers’ eyes.

Whilst Hazard ultimately saw off the challenge of Cesc Fabregas as the prime Chelsea midfield pick last year, Pedro brings a far greater goal threat than his compatriot, having chalked up a 15.7% conversion rate in La Liga last term.

Certainly, the weekend showing has had an effect. Although he still sits in over 42% of FPL teams, Hazard has been sold by 404,000 FPL managers since the start of the season – over 110,000 more than any midfielder – and, along with Wayne Rooney, has been identified as the prime source of freeing up cash for our 15-man squads.

Whether Pedro can rival Hazard overall remains to be seen but with a 2.0 difference in cost, the Spaniard’s value for money is clearly set to play a part in how many assess the Chelsea attack from here on in.

    Repost sorry as would like more opinions:

    Thoughts on improving the following team please:

    Cech
    Azpi – Kompany – Shaw
    Sanchez – Silva – Hoolahan – Mahrez
    Gomis – Aguero – Wilson

    Subs: Hennesy, Oxford, S Taylor, Wanyama

    ITB = £2.7m, one FT

    Was thinking of bringing in Clyne for Oxford but would like a good fourth MF and Coutinho is just out of reach, unless I sub in YYT for Silva? Also worried that no Chelsea in attack. Thanks

    1. jomikijiq
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I would work on MIDs.

      1. sparky12
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        suggestions?

        1. footballoholic
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Shaqiri maybe?

        2. jomikijiq
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          How about
          Hoolahan > Payet
          OR
          Hoolahan > Coutinho and Kompany > Kolarov for -4

    2. Quinny___
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Long term having hoolahan as a starting XI is going to get you left behind.

      Saylor will play until janmatt is back. Oxford is under threat with song inbound and obiang. So you only have 3 defenders really.

      1. sparky12
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        thanks, so maybe Oxford -> Clyne and Hoolahan to mid-priced midfielder? Or Silva -> YYT and Hoolahan -> Coutinho?

  2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…

    Any point in not doing Sakho-->Diouf now?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sakho to Diouf or Wilson sounds good

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      no

      • 9 Years

      Yes, although I went with Wilson.
      Better fixtures, on pens and 1.0 cheaper

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          ?

          Noble is on pens for WHU anyway but I'm talking about Wilson (Bournemouth)

  3. Essrick
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with this lot? 2 FT's and 1.2ITB.

    Butland (Ruddy)

    Kosc, Cedric, Richards (PVA, Huth)

    Haz (C), Sterling (vc), Ozil, Mahrez, Ritchie

    Rooney, Pelle (Deeney)

    Cheers,

    1. jomikijiq
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ritchie > 4.5
      Rooney > Aguero

    2. The Mighty I
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney > Aguero and I would downgrade Ozil to fund it

      If there isn't a better replacement stick with him. You could get a bournemouth mid, Ritchie/gradel and upgrade elsewhere

        I was thinking this. Gradel interesting me.

    Can't believe Wenger still doesn't know his best 11, Arsenal look way off from challenging the title, shameful really with their squad.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      They need a World Class Striker

        And a defender

        “The transfer market is for people who don’t want to talk about football, it’s something that bad Coaches seek refuge in.”
        - Maurizio Sarri

        1. Camp No No
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          By the way, I think he also, just a little bit, meant that as a pick at Mourinho, who already told that his transfer window was over, but hit the market immediately when he found himself in trouble with his current squad that he, according to his own words, was extremely happy with.

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      At least they're far outscoring a pitiful, stuttering United.... Oh wait.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just don't like the way he throws on all his attacking players for Coquelin or someone.

        Just looks like he hasn't got a clue.

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Aye. But I remember the West Ham game, and the midfield interchanged this way and that way, in general it looked all over the shop. They've been unlucky not to score, and I understand they want a free flowing passing game, but I think he needs to hammer a bit more structure into them.

    3. alexdelarge

      Why he doesnt start Wally is a cunundrum

      1. Camp No No
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have you seen Wally play? He's a bit crap.

    4. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Same team mentality. Which, while likely to net them a top 4 finish, isn't likely enough to hoist the Prem trophy come spring.

  10. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Diouf + Coutinho + Payet (Coutinho to Pedro after GW7)
    B) Diouf + Coutinho + Yaya
    C) Gomis + Shaqiri + Pedro

    1. jomikijiq
      • 9 Years

      A.

  11. Goodfella
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Payet + Depay > Gradel + Pedro

    For -4. Yay or nay? Thoughts, ideas?

    1. jomikijiq

      Nay

    2. Sheeeit

      • 9 Years

      Stick. Definitely stick with Payet. Just do Depay > Gradel if you've lost confidence in Memphis.

  12. Sheeeit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Quite excited to see De Bryune back in the Prem if he goes to city. If can emulate last season's Bunde form, he could be fantasy gold.

    1. Quinny___
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      BILD reporting united in for him now to.

      BILD Usually are reliable and it makes sense. United need fire power.

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        KDB isn't the type of player they need. He's fantastic and probably better than all their players but isn't what they need.

        A little bit like when Ozil signed for Arsenak 😀

        1. Quinny___
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Agree. But LVG said he wants a quick creative player and he doesnt need a striker so KDB fits the bill according to LVG

          But from a fan POV, united need a striker of which KDB isnt.

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yes they are reliable, but are they able to offer as much as Citeh can?

        1. Quinny___
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Well with united interested in the 100m Bale, and selling the 44m ADM.

          KDB at 50m is realistic

        2. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No question. But City are a better team with far more chances of success, so he should go there instead.

  13. HP.

    Wilson or Diouf ???

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      That's not a good thing this season. 😉

    2. walkman666

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I guess you do not have Mahrez or Sanchez.

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      7 clean sheets kept by home teams, 9 clean sheets kept by the visitors so far.

  15. Clintymints
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Article forgot to mention that The Cherries didn't score in their 2 previous games, it was Wilson's first, senior hat-trick, one goal was a peno and Wham absolutely gifted the goals to them with terrible errors.

    While he is a perfectly fine pick for the up and coming fixtures and for the price the standout 3rd striker option for sure.... Just not getting to carried away with it!

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed

      However, great fixtures, attacking football and he's on pens like you said.
      Perfect replacement for those willing to ship Sakho

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I had him for hattrick, I'm not getting carried away and I will be selling after the next 5 I think

  16. Dynamic Duos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal haven't become bad over night, they will absolutely batter Newcastle mark my words.

    1. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      they have been poor all season though

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        So there going to be bad all season?

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Wilson on penalties? Like teams who get lots of penos.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, he scored one

    2. Whazza

      He scored one last gameweek so can't see why he wouldn't be. There is also a tab for set piece takers if you look up.

      Ritchie is usually on them. Not sure if Wilson took it because of the hat trick opportunity, or if he's the main peno taker now

      Deeney takes them for Watford 😉

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, I've transferred in Wilson anyway for Sakko. Hope he keeps penos. Won't be rushing for Deeney just yet!

    I'm tempted by Coutinho after last night and Liverpoo's nice 3 in 4.

    Would you prefer Coutinho or Benteke? Only got space for 1

    1. Lucy.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm pretty sure I'm punting on Coutinho.

    2. footballoholic
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cout

    3. Whazza
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke's hold-up-play might be just what he needs.

    4. lejund
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke, Coutinho does look good though

      If you had Benteke who would your mid be?
      If you had Coutinho who would your striker be?

      1. Jones Town
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah am on wildcard so will probably come down to how I can fit players in around the rest of the team.

        Benteke ownership is scary though

    Chelsea only buy players after losing matches..... *sigh*

    Both Lucas Silva and Illarramendi linked with Saints in the last few days. Either would be great news but I can't see it happening. We just aren't 'big' enough.

    1. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Illarramendi is going to Pool if he goes to PL

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        His missus might prefer the shopping in Southampton.

                  It isn't happening. You left that one waaaaay too late. Go and panic buy elsewhere. 😛

      Gosh! Sot fans are the opposite of Liverpool fans

      1. Lucy.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Realistic?

        1. Eden Hazardous

          9 years, 2 months ago

          Pessimistic

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            So you think they'll happen?

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              No but still I think Sot will get Van Djik and keep hold of Wanyama

              1. Lucy.
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                I didn't debate those. I have the same feeling about that.

                So I was being realistic about Illarramendi and Lucas Silva, was I not? 😛

                1. Eden Hazardous

                Not because u are not big enought but because u entered into transfer talks late

    3. PainInDiaz
      • 12 Years

      They would go there as a stepping stone to Liverpool. So might happen.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just what I meant

    4. Quinny___
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Both would cost 15m plus. Illirra maybe even 20m+

      If Wanyama to Spurs is true, Saints would need one

      1. Lucy.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He might want to move but Koeman's not going to let him. That seems quite clear.

    5. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Illarramendi might be on the way back to Sociedad, so not out of the question that the Saints could nab him.

    6. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think Lucas Silva is going to Marseille

      1. Camp No No
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        According to O Globoesporte almost done already. Real Madrid prefer to loan him there.

      1. Lucy.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Confirms my feelings.

  23. Jordan. R

    Need help what changes if any need to be made?

    Cech

    Shaw-Azpi-Kompany (Gomez)

    Pedro-Toure-Redmond-Mahrez

    Costa-Aguero-Defoe

    1. eish
      • 10 Years

      Great!!probs just not defoe

    2. footballoholic

      Rather have Sanchez than Costa

    3. jomikijiq
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sure about having both Pedro and Costa?

  24. eish
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pedro and yaya with 0.3 left or coutinho and silva with 0.2left on a wc

  25. Valar(Keith)

    What were your main worries about Benteke preseason.
    Would he fit into Liverpool's system?
    Would Liverpool adjust their style a bit to suit his aerial threat?
    Was he a big fish in a very small pond at Villa and he'd be lost amongst the medium sized fish at pool?
    One trick pony who is just good at headers?
    What happens when Sturridge comes back?
    Should we Give him some time to settle?

    So,
    Have those questions have now been answered with the information available to us over the first 3 GWs?

    For me it's a yes.. and they've been answered favourably. and he's defo worth a punt.

    What's YOUR(points through monitor) thoughts on him?

    1. 11bigboy11
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      For me it's a yes.. and they've been answered favourably. and he's defo worth a punt.

      And by the time i typed all that we reached the end of the page 😆

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's a yes, and for his price a big yes. The top strikers of Aguero and now maybe Costa will get more points obviously but for 8.5 you can't go wrong

    4. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think he was a great buy and he will score a lot later in the season, he just hasn't quite got the rhythm of the rest of the team yet.

  26. JMason57
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Williams & Payet ---> Kolarov & Ayew (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    Ty.

    1. Quinny___
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not for -4

      1. JMason57
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ta

  27. Skidsta
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Prob my worst start to the season ever & WC used earlier than ever last week didn't bring any joy, any thoughts on the team would be much appreciated:

    Butland (Ruddy)

    Richards, Darmian, Muniesa, (Huth), (S Taylor)

    Hazard (vc), Mahrez, Ozil, Ayew, (wanyama)

    Sahko, Aguero (c), Pelle

    Already brought in mahrez this week & have 2.7 ITB

    Am tempted with hazard (due to poor stats), Sahko, Pelle > Yaya, Costa, Tekkers for a -12 hit, you think it's worth it?

    Thanks

    1. JMason57
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ridiculous. No way

      1. Skidsta
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ok no worries, would you make any changes there or stick? Concerned about Southampton in Europe and sahko who's totally off form as well as city/Chelsea coverage

    2. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This season, I'm all about not taking hits, or very many of them anyways, as I've gone overboard on that in past seasons. So, a -12 would defo not be something I would want to do. Those are some nice transfers, though. You would add considerable guns to your battery.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Pelle against Norwich probably worth holding onto for one more week, though. Basically, when I weigh this all out, I would vote against the -12.

        1. Skidsta
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks appreciate the input, an with you on the -12 have done a few -8s in the past but past few years saved the FTs & had a couple of great seasons, know it's a long race patience I suppose!

  28. 11bigboy11

    Hey guys! Would you take a hit for Barkley to Pedro? Thanks!!! 🙂

    1. Fifa las vegas

      No

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Barkley has some bad fixtures

  29. Harry (C)ane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why are people taking out Payet? Just because of one blank out of 3 GWs? To me that is quite a good record so far.

    1. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fixtures not bad either.

    2. Lucy.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not really moving because of the blank. It's more because WHM were a car crash against Bournemouth, with sloppy defensive play all over the place, their main striker has now been arrested and they've got another suspension from a reckless red card.

    Thoughts on this WC team if i decide to use it

    Butland (Gomes)

    Kolarov Lovren Naughton (Nyom Targett)

    Sanchez Silva Chadli Barkley (Mahrez)

    Aguero Wilson Gomis

    0.4 ITB

    Thanks guys

    1. footballoholic
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Dont like Barkleys fixtures, Watford double up, Targett for only 1 more match possibly

    2. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I assume you will be rotating Barkley and Mahrez? I really like this team, bar Chadli.
