The Digest – Gameweek 2

We bid a final farewell to Gameweek 2 via The Digest – our weekly summary of the big player, a notable source of Fantasy talent and the major talking point to emerge over the ten fixtures.

For this week, Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso reminds us of his qualities as a premium asset, Watford show promise under new manager Marco Silva and Pep Guardiola’s tactical tweaks leave many unconvinced over Man City’s attacking options.

The Player

As the costliest defender on offer in Fantasy Premier League, Marcos Alonso was mainly overlooked in the quest to balance budgets for our opening squads.

Only 11% of managers started the season with the Spaniard on board and he was jettisoned by a further 72,000+ thanks to a zero-point haul at home to Burnley in Gameweek 1.

If we chose to ignore the Spaniard’s five attempts on goal against the Clarets, then his brace away to Spurs has grabbed our collective attention.

A 16-point haul at Wembley on Sunday served as a very timely reminder of Alonso’s Fantasy potential under Antonio Conte, with over 150,000 clambering to snap him up ahead of a weekend visit from Everton.

Historically, most tend to baulk at buying a 7.0-priced defender, yet the recent trend for wing-back formations means that Alonso offers so much more than the occasional goal or assist.

Despite failing to start a match until Gameweek 7 last term, he still finished as the top-ranked defender for shots, efforts in the box and attempts on target.

After two Gameweeks of 2017/18, he sits at the summit for those statistics again.

Alonso averaged 5.7 points per match in his first year under Antonio Conte, racking up six goals and five assists.

He already looks on course to replicate or even better that output, with both his minutes per shot and key pass rising considerably.

All of a sudden, that 7.0 price tag is starting to look a snip.

The Team

Over at Vicarage Road, the appointment of Marco Silva looks set to transform Watford’s Fantasy fortunes.

The Hornets toiled under former boss Walter Mazzarri last term, with a total of 40 goals better only than Burnley and the three relegated sides.

But five strikes in two matches with the new manager in charge – second only to Man United’s eight – piques our interest as we scour for value in attack.

Tellingly, last season’s main sources of FPL points – Troy Deeney and Etienne Capoue – have yet to start a league match with the Portuguese at the helm as he looks for more pace on the counter.

Granted, the latter has done himself no harm with back-to-back goals in league and cup outings, yet the teamsheets indicate that he’s still a risky pick.

Instead, Silva’s need for more dynamic players in the final third means that summer signings Richarlison and Andre Gray have the platform to profit.

Costing just 6.0 to Capoue’s 5.4, Richarlison has already grabbed a goal and assist. He also leads all FPL midfielders for shots inside the box.

Having supplied an assist on his first start in last week’s 2-0 win at Bournemouth, Gray (6.5) now has the chance to throw his hat in the ring as a budget frontman ahead of a plum home clash with Brighton.

At the back, things are a little cloudier as a raft of defensive injuries means that only Heurelho Gomes, Miguel Britos and Jose Holebas have started both matches.

We were all set to extol the Greek’s virtues, but his dismissal against Bristol City last night merely underlines the disciplinary problems that earned him 15 yellow cards last year.

Yet with the likes of Gomes, Britos and new right-back Kiko Femenia all priced at 4.5, we’ll be keeping an eye on Silva’s teamsheets once the treatment room empties for signs of budget regulars.

Britos’ last-gasp leveler against Liverpool in Gameweek 1 extended Silva’s home league record to just two defeats in 43 and suggests that the Hornets are made of sterner stuff this season.

At present, Capoue – with 5% ownership – is the most popular Watford player in FPL. But if his new manager can build Vicarage Road into a fortress, it won’t be too long before more come flocking.

The Talking Point

Heading into the new season, our chief concerns over Manchester City centred around rest and rotation.

With such a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal, the fear was that Pep Guardiola would chop and change to keep everyone happy.

But while the Spaniard has kept faith in his big-hitters across the opening two Gameweeks, City’s new 3-3-2-2 formation seems stuck in first gear.

A look at the numbers backs this up.

Although Sergio Aguero has one goal to show for his endeavours, his frequency of shots – down from last year’s 17.3 minutes to a mere 43.3 –hints that he’s struggling to make the same impact as part of a two-man frontline.

Last season’s number one player for assists, Kevin De Bruyne’s minutes per key pass has dropped from 28 to 45. He’s yet to have a shot inside the box.

With Man United pair Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both in fine form and far cheaper, the Belgian has been shipped by over 124,000 FPL managers this week alone. That’s despite offering a very favourable trip to Bournemouth this weekend.

And Gabriel Jesus’ price has already dropped to 10.4 after he was hauled off at the break against Everton due to Kyle Walker’s dismissal.

At a point where the FPL market has gone into overdrive, City’s current lack of cohesion is a major concern.

It appears that Pep needs a little more time to fine-tune his new formation yet, at this point of the season in particular, the impatience of FPL managers is unforgiving.

Fail to produce the goods against the Cherries and the exodus will be substantial across the first international break of the season.

    What players do you plan to keep an eye on this weekend? I'll be keeping an eye on lanzini, Antonio and richarlison. One of those will be replacing Tom Ince after gameweek 3.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      High

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good with no Walker

    3. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Did well when he came on v Everton at RB and nearly got an assist so good chance of him starting.

  7. Se4n
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    On a wildcard

    Foster Elliot
    Alonso Davies Jones Hegazi Zanka
    Mkhitaryan Eriksen Richarlison x x
    Kane Chicharito x

    A. Lukaku + Jese + RLC (3-4-3)
    B Pogba + Mane + Quarner (3-5-2)

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B I think

      1. rjcv177
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This. I'll even add fuel to fire...Are we guaranteed Luk on PKs? Imagine Pogba on them, would change ownership?

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Neither

  8. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Should football introduce a third card? Red, yellow and ?

    Green card for fair play?

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Would a green card then mean if you commited a red card offence you'd just get a yellow?

      I love the idea of that.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Free hit!

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Throw in a flashing yellow - that means it the winger has started to cross he is allowed to continue...

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      instead of a suspension, does it cancel a yellow?

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Purple and blue card for being a bruise upon the integrity of the game that shouldn't be seen on a pitch again for at least 6 months.

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Blue for too many offsides

    6. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Could work very well on here.

    7. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Orange card for halftime?

    8. MrNatural
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If a player gets booked on his birthday the ref should have an appropriately coloured birthday card

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        😀

    9. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Partial Red. A player sits out the next 20 mins. If its the 70th minute, you out.

  9. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I've seen a lot of people saying they hope Kane explodes this gw?

    Is this a real thing humans do?

    I'm just concerned because I want to captain him this gw but won't do if there's the risk of explosion. Hopefully he explodes after scoring me a lot of points.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You could just transfer him out afterwards.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Well it would be daft of me to keep an exploded player.

    2. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It happened to Johnny Vegas' character in the BBC adaptation of Dickens' "Bleak House'

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I've seen my fair share of seagulls explode, but never a human.

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      In the loo for number 2, yes they do explode.

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Spontaneous combustion is real.

      Explosion... meh.

    5. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I hear seagulls do if you feed them baking soda.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I've lost a lot of family members to that white powder. 🙁

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      Blue card

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        For exploding on the field? 😆

  10. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    In fairness to Holebas he had 4 Bristol City players running at him - if he doesn't foul its a goal, even we can get it in with 4 v Gomes (I think)......

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 8 Years

      haha it depends, if bobby raid's through then it's a goal for sure 😉

  11. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed:

    KDB + Ake + Willian out for:

    1. Ali + Dawson + Antonio
    2. Eriksen + Hegazi + Antonio

    Or

    Keep KDB and do Redmond + Ake + Willian out for:

    3. Richarlison + Dawson + Antonio

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      How many points is this gonna cost

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        -4 2FT

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Option 2 if it's -4.

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Is Hegazi still worth bringing in though

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yes

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer 2. No need to do Ake out for -4

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        True, I could just do KDB + Willian

    3. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      why antonio?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I have a feeling he'll do well, their fixture list picks up and I can't bring in Chicarito as I have firm as 3rd

        1. 404_FC
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          he looks not fit last game, doesn't he?

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Antonio is fit. And looked good

    4. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      to be honest 3 is "safer".
      U'r not selling any major risk on your OR if u have Kane

  12. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino > Chicharito for free this week so I can upgrade Atsu next week?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      no for me

    2. Slippy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    3. Bushido
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Meh

    5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Save it and do both next week
      Firmino could do well against arsenal

    6. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      no

    7. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years

    8. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Roll it and do both next week if nothing else crops up.

    9. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Remember liverpool vs arsenal last year? Or Liverpool in gemeral against top teams? Not sure why you people are getting rid of the likes of Salah and Firmino

  13. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC..

    a) Trippier or Davies?
    b) RLC or Carroll?

    Thanks

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Davies and RLC for me
      Losing faith in carroll. Rlc has been playing really well

    2. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      trippier
      carroll

    3. Fantasy Football Friend!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Rose back soon and Aurier on his way, so I don't like either from A. RLC ahead of Carroll though.

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier if fit. Wait and see.

      Tough at this stage. Carroll is safer, RLC has more potential. Given the fixtures, I'd get Carroll this week

  14. 404_FC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    hav player worth for -4 this week ?

    5.0 for def or 6.0 for mid

  15. DoobNoob
    • 11 Years

    I hope this KDB exodus stops, I want to keep him and don't want his price to drop

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If you want to keep him, his price drop won't affect you 🙂

      1. DoobNoob
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        True, but by keep him I just mean give him a bit more time to produce

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          He'll produce. Don't think he'll produce better than 9.5 miss though, so I'd sell

          1. Respect My Authoritah

      You all really need to understand that the price movement is a sham to keep you engaged and doing stupid moves repeatedly. The more times you log in to consider transfers, the more page views they get on their ads.

        couldn't even tell you what they advertise though, but i do find price movement one of the interesting aspects of the game, would be less fun if all players remained static in price

    OK, I've got Moses, Abraham and Jesus but there's currently only two Kings in the league. So close.

      Three kings isn't biblical so your theme is fine

      Keep until llorente is fit

      He's tall.

    4. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      looks decent but not getting more than one or two chances a game playing for Swansea so will have to improve his conversation rate if he is score - or swansea will have to get better. Lorente could be key - either he gets more chances if they play together, or he ends up on the bench.

    Midfield too weak/bandwagony?

      Jese mooy Ritchie is too weak alot of 2 pointers from them

    IF I WC, this is my current thinking:

    Foster Elliot
    Alonso Jones Yoshida BDavies Mbemba
    Eriksen Mkhi Richarlison Mooy RLC
    Kane Lukaku Chicarito
    £0.4m ITB

    Mane vs Eriksen is the obvious question

    Any other changes?

        You should see mine.

    4. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years

      Similar team to me but i might go Tadic/Jese and Lowe instead of Mooy and Yoshida. Haha yeah i was debating Mane too, but i feel like Eriksen will score more points over the next few gws. Plus Mane has a game tonight so who knows what Klopp will do when it comes to rotation.

      1. Unbelievable Jeff!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Thanks. I'm considering Trippier if fit to allow £0.5m ITB so could get Tadic for Richarlison

    What is the deal with that everton forward, scored two assists and played full 90, 5 m..
    Bargain or wait and see?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      At least one of the games he was playing wing back. Worth watching if he nails the place though

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        But listed as forward.. So he plays in the place of coleman now?

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Wait and see. Coukd lose his place when Sandro fit but could see Sandro Rooney and Calvin starting together.

      The fact Arter is on that list 😛

        Arter is first of the two (maybe three) I need to get rid of, I'm last on the waiver list so hopefully there will be somebody left worth getting by then.

    On wildcard. Which on to choose?

    A) Richarlison

    B) Rotating 4th mid TC / RLC and beef up defence by 1.5M

    My defence structure with Richarlison is 5.0 - 5.0 - 4.5 - 4.5 - 4.0

    Kun to Kane.
    No other City, and already Eriksen on board.

    Yay or Nay?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Do it.

      Pep has ruined Kun as a striker and fpl option aswell.

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thkx.
        i'm 50/50 with this plan. I get Kane or I'll (C) Aguero

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Get Kane. Stats and fixtures are on his side.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      If it's for free then yes

      Not with those fixtures. Rather double up on Mikhi and Pogba.

      1. Nathan20
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yep didnt look at fixtures. ta.

    2. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      if he can do it for swansea he can definitely do it for Everton under Koeman. Fixtures are bad so wait and see though.

    3. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Forget fixtures for a second.
      What was the main source of points at Swansea? Do you believe he will be in ALL set pieces. If so, he might be a good option, otherwise he will be a KDB/Silva, assisting the assister.
