Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.
Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.
Everyone they play will sit deep
Then looks like we have our starting mids
It's Wednesday afternoon and Draft Leagues still haven't been updated!
It's Wednesday morning at FPL towers Dingo

Good to Go? Will be busy until deadline so have to setup today..
G2g
Zaha > Albrighton?
nah, better options out there
Well this one here is beyond a punt.
Foster | Elliot
Kolasinac | Danilo | Cedric | Stephens | Daniels
KDB | Willian | Carroll | RLC | Chalobah
Kane | Lukaku | Jesus
69 points... Do I need to make any transfers, was thinking potentially Danilo, is Mendy back and will he (Danilo) be bench!?
Give Danilo one more week. Mendy not fit yet and don't think Pep will start Sane at wing back vs strong opposition in Everton
Any other trades... Daniels?!
Foster Gomes
Dann Bertrand Daniels Fuchs Dawson
KDB Redmond Mikky Puncheon Ritchie
JRod Lukaku Kane
Do I need to do anything this week? Was thinking of saving the FT but not really sure.
save definitely
Save but monitor redmond situation. Starting place at risk from Boufel
Barcelona agree £90million deal with Borussia Dortmund for Ousmane Dembele but are haggling over £27m in add-ons
I wont do it, but this is fairly tempting as a WC right now
Foster/Elliot
Dawson/Jones/5.0/4.5/4.0
Eriksen/Mkhitaryan/Salah/4.5/4.5
Kane/Lukaku/Firmino
Yoshi, Iowe/Suttner, Long
RLC, Tarrol
Popular question here, I know... Gotta make the decision now though:
Zaha to
A) Ramsey (stk, liv)
B) Ince (NEW, SOU)
Everyone seems to say Ramsey, but in terms of fixtures, pre-season form, value and nailedness, for me there's only one sensible choice?
Personally, I'd say Ince for the reasons you've mentioned.
I need to find 1.5m to get Lukaku (if I decide to bite the bullet this week), so I'm considering Mooy.
Lionel Messi told Neymar, "You want the Ballon d'Or? I'll get it for you!"
TAA gets zero points against bloody watford and then scores in the champions league qualifiers.
I hate FPL sometimes
own goal and red card on the weekend incoming
GTG?
Foster
Valencia Danilo Yoshida Ake
KDB Alli JWP
Lukaku Jesus Gabbiadini
(Elliot Willian T.Carroll Long)
FT: 1, ITB: 0
Yes. Give Gabbi one more week. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on bench this week though if they persist with one up front. Think that he and JWP are both rotation risks waiting to happen
Think save FT and look to shift Danilo and one of your Southampton attackers next week if they are dropped.
Thanks mate! 🙂
Crossing my fingers for Trippier to be back by next week, so I can do Danilo -> Trippier 🙂
Other good changes could be T.Carroll -> RLC (as RLC looks more nailed and more offensive than Carroll)
Long -> Mbemba, and
Gabbiadini -> Mounie
How's this lot looking please gents? Save FT or shift JWP? Like the look of Mooy and think JWP could lose his spot either to Boufel or a more advanced Davis now that Lemina has arrived.

Armband is on Romelu
Slight risk, but I thought JWP looked decent. I think he'll start. But what do I know...? Save FT.
Am I g2g for this gw?

Not happy with defence but already did a hit KdB and Zaha to Salah and Mkhitaryan before the rises.
Zaha to Ritchie thoughts ?
Ince or Ramsey for me
Thats what Ive just done, great fixtures and main set piece taker
Milner scored?
Eh chance he's nailed he stays in my draft for now
Does anyone know why Lössl got 2 bps for Huddersfield when he only made 4 saves?
Foster got 1 bps with only 2 saves
Any idea why?
not really, maybe they had good distribution and caught a few balls on set pieces
Have Zaha but already made a transfer.
A) Bench Zaha and play TAA (nice goal last night)
B) Transfer Zaha this week for -4
For newbie like me, the thinking is "even the mods had a hit, why wouldn't I"
Brought Lukaku and Mkhi in for -4 last night. Not ideal but need to get on rising bargains like Mkhi early and I simply can't be bothered routing against Lukaku
Tadic in for Zaha?
JWP and save £1m ?
can somebody pls explain me why cahill's price has not dropped despite 200000+ players selling him, but lindelof's price has reduced to 5.4 despite only 50000+ sales. Or batshuayi dropped to 8.4 despite only 19000+sales??
I think percentage owned plays a big part here as well
The higher the ownership, the more sales required for a player to lose value (my assumption, not confirmed though)
Flagged
This is the main reason behind the difference.
Yes, it's to do with initial ownership. Cahill is owned by over 10% of teams, whereas Lindelof and Batshuayi have a combined total of only 5 or 6%.
Can anyone explain why there's so little love for Tom Ince? Am I missing something?
What has he done to deserve any love in FPL?
he's very handsome
great fixtures, great pre-season form, I think I'll just take the punt and see what happens
Jonty needs to stop saying 'but we'll talk about that later' on the Scoutcast.
I know he knows what's coming up but it makes things sound less organic
I'd say the opposite to this, I think it's better he does that otherwise it would quickly just get out of control.
Sounds like something a professional sportscaster would do IMO...
Morning all. Should i take a hit for Mitrovic to Mounie?
Not really sure with Atsu atm
Foster
BDavies | Monreal | Stephens | Daniels
KdB | Salah | Mkhi | Atsu
Kane | Lukaku
(Elliot | Mitrovic | Carrol | Long)
0 FT, 1m ITB
no never take hits
Oh the ideal world
I think the advice should be to minimise hits. If you get off your lofty pedestal for a second, he's had the misfortune of choosing a non-playing 3rd striker. It could potentially be worth a -4 to get a striker who starts this week.
Thats what i need mate. So Mitrovic to Mounie worth a hit then?
I would. Mounie has a nice run of fixtures. You're not going to get any better at 6m.
No. Atsu played solid
aguero or lukaku this week
Everton can park a bus like the best of them, at times. Lukaku, for me.
Morning Everyone. Just wondering, before the season kicked off people debated whether 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 was the way to go. What did everyone go for??
3-4-3 is the way to go imo
All formations can do well but 3-4-3 is just safer
I started last season with 433 and it worked a wonder up till the first international break. So doing something similar so far with 442 and I got 5/5 CS in GW1 so sticking with it for another week at least.
i regret to use 442 instead of 343 since there is a lot of potential 5.5m Midfielder (Mooy, Atsu, JWP, etc)
Endes up with a decent looking 343 without Kane.
With Kane (and Lukaku), I think a 433 or 442 is best.
Some even to the extent of 5-3-2. Madness!
A 532 in GW1 would've worked quite nicely.. double Southampton defence, double Man U plus attacking Man City or Kolasinac, or Davies.
Davies and Hegazi top scored, didn't they?
zaha to tadic ok?
Could be given the fixtures. Also consider Redmond and Ritchie.
Anybody has link for Mark squad ?
Thanks in advance
His id is 370.
Just looking at what changes lie ahead. Here's my team.....where do you think I should switch things up if things don't go well next week.
Begovic
Alonso Kola Bertrand
Kdb Salah Ritchie Fraser
Kane Kaku Mounie
Wait and see after GW2.
Nice team. I'd focus on the 3 big hitters, look at the fixtures and see who you're going to captain? You may be able to downgrade one f them and spread the funds around in order to get a Liverpool attacking mid.
6 years, 8 months agoGuardiola said that he preferred to start with the more solid, if less dynamic, abilities of Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Danilo against opposition that he knew would sit deep and try to stifle the Blues.
