The Gameweek 2 Team News

Lovely team, save - you're golden.

get mbemba instead of rangel, he's playing for now

no

Just wait and see, it's too early to consider bringing him in

Doubtful. Will feature though. Surely you're not going there?....?

Wouldn't say expected, it is possible they may decide to keep Fimino fresh for Wednesday though.

Doesn't matter if he is. If he plays he'll be injured again almost instantly. Utterly pointless getting him in at the moment. Forget about him.

He's .5 million too much

Annoying yep, but pretty perfectly priced. He's too good to be any cheaper.

Once he is back match fit I'll be bringing him in. He is one of the very few players that always seems to deliver when I have him in my team.

5 goals in opening 5 gameweeks last season, gold

A

1

A, 2

A1

A2

Would think so.

E-Max for short

Looked decent when he came on for Stoke the other day too.

Is Ronaldo gay

Is Knockaert going to start?

Will I regret going JWP over any other 5.5m? (especially Brady who was my initial gut feeling)

Bavies

Solid. Captain?

Beautiful

Wow, same team, just have dawson, daniels and berty in defense

They update it as the day goes on.

Na, I predict a 1-1 draw.

no chance.

its august.

Between him and Vardy for me

Doubt it.

Still sounds good for the West Brom defenders then.

Really interesting topic this is, good job contextualising! 🙂 Still, makes you want your WBA defender playing?

Now my -4 of Zaha to Atsu looks a bit daft, considering playing Hegazi instead.

Benched him last week (Autosubbed on lol), can I get away with it two weeks in a row?

I think that's a bit skewed as Burnley give away a lot of half chances such as shots outside the box but very few clear cut chances. Those that are more clear cut, seem to be through set pieces.

Hasty McHasty Face!

Don't be hasty, but there's worse ideas if he's your third striker, this one depends on the rest of your team really and if any fixing needs to be done.

Also definitely not for a hit.

Leicester's fixtures after this weekend are rank.

This is how it looks;

Game updating

Squads are currently being processed.

Please try again in a few minutes when the updated teams should be available.

I'm put 2 waivers in, Davies & Redmond...

Abraham.

Not comparable options IMO.

Carroll is a good 5th mid, not much else.

Tammy isn't a great 3rd Striker, Vokes & Mounie better options or even Gray or other 6m forwards.

I also reckon his place is at risk when Llorente is back.

Which to play though if you have both, Tammy.

I'd have to say that they're likely to blank IMO, even if KDB gets just an assist I don't think it'll be good enough for him...

Look at exit plans! Plenty of cash in them three though so plenty of options.

Atsu for me, I have Mounie though so it was a no brainer...

Atsu allows that extra .5m and in my team that helps get Kane/Sanchez as and when I need them.

Tough, between Atsu & Dann. I'd be tempted to go for Dann, always like a goalscoring defender and as proven, Liverpool can't defend set pieces.

B

Atsu, no doubt. Liverpool will score at least 2 against Palace so it's only attacking returns you're looking at for Dann...as bad as Liverpool are at defending set pieces, I'd take an attacking midfielder over a defender scoring from a corner every day.

Absolutely delicious. I'd personally go Mee over Dawson but it could go either way.

Solid

Nice front 7.

Mee/Dawson is your main decision point there really, always favor the home team when its neck and neck. Clean Sheets over goals...

I'd still probably choose Dawson, though.

Similar to mine do I'm starting Mee over Dawson!

DDG
Mee Bertrand Kolasinac
KDB Ritchie Willian JWP
Kane Lukaku (c) Firmino

Elliot Dawson Carroll Long

Not heard anything different.

He's gorgeous.

No update from Klopp yesterday so the working presumption is he had a days extra rest. I expect him to start but be bought off early, for this reason he's not going to be my captain.

who is ur C

Nice team

Your defence is vulnerable to non-starters. You need to get in playing bench players when your others don't play.

Not saying to do it this week, but you need to consider it in coming weeks.

Save ft this week.

50/50, flip a coin. Hegazi for me, just.

Could go either way

Mee.

Thanks all, leaning towards Mee, BUR confidence is roof top, probably both will concede and it won't matter anyway. 😉

Looking like you're on -4.

Decent team, who is your VC.

Im captaining Lukaku and I have also Kane in my team

Without any actual analysis to prove or disprove the theory, I'd have to say the time of the game has little to no affect, some fantasy geek out there should read this and do some!!

For me it's Lukaku as he's got the "form", allbeit one game it's some sign of form, Kane missed a couple of chances he'd normally put away.

Chelsea hard done by with the early Red but still means an unfamiliar line up.

Play safe early on, Lukaku IMO.

Chelsea will not want to lose again, Swansea conceded a lot of chances against Southampton, Lukaku or Salah for me I think.

Lukaku's effective ownership is going to be terrifying, and whilst I like Pool's fixture, I have both Salah and Firmino, which gives me some inherent double coverage already.

Lukaku for me.

Lowe and Mooy IMO.

Effectively changing to four at the back instead of 343.

Which def are you downgrading?

Hasn't been flagged at all, presumed fit. Don't worry IMO.
