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.

My first reaction to the end of GW1 was to move Lampard out. I have reconsidered because of his PK taking and the matchup. He must play at Man Utd., experience and class.
Anybody else think Lampard is a starter against Man Utd.?Open Controls -
How is Soldado playing?
Open Controls-
because AVB picked him.
Open Controls -
Saldado movement is good, but the wingers Sigs/Townsend coming inside a lot, moves breaking down.....not many crosses besides 1 from Rose and the Paulihno goal

There's only one Gary Neville..

i think sinclair could be cracking value
Open Controls-
He wasn't great at Swansea. The city move was always very strange. He may find his form at West brom however. Have to wait and see I think
Open Controls-
City bought him and Rodwell due to the homegrown players rule.

Agreed, he was a great fantasy asset for SWA two years ago.
I remember starting with him last year before making the straight swap for Michu in GW2.Open Controls

feck whats wrong with anelka!!!?? as if lukaku isnt enough of a pressing matter
Open Controls-
two is better than one 😉

His agent died, so he's on compassionate leave.

Is that a joke?

That mercenary doesn't deserve a hit....

Not everyone who has RVP has Anelka as well, give it a rest!
Open Controls -
Cabral or Chester?
Or does it really matter....?Open Controls-
Both as bad as each other I would say. Cabral maybe has a better chance of CS
Open Controls -
This might not help you:
I'm going Chester because I figure Tekkers to score on Pool.
Chester on, Tourre to bench.Open Controls-
Need an alternative to Anelka....will have to play Toure but that's ok....pool might keep villa out.

I think I've decided on Terry > Zaba
One of the factors is the price rise. I can see him going up again next week before they play Hull, might then sell on after that to insure against Bony/Silva/Michu etc price rises, which I can only see being 0.1m at the most.Open Controls -
1) Silva + Lampard
or
2) Yaya + Oscar
Currently going for #1 but unsure 🙂Open Controls-
definitely 1, but monitor lamps game time. if its for the united game, then lamps is nailed on imo.
Open Controls
-
SWANS: Vorm, Rangel, Flores, Williams (capt), Taylor, Britton, Shelvey, Michu, Routledge, Hernandez, Bony.
Open Controls -
Is there a reason Defoe isn't in the squad tonight or is he transfer bound?
Open Controls -
Is Downing nailed on? Or should I get Taarabt/Joe Cole?
Open Controls -
Due to the changes in bonus points this season, I'm wondering if 4 at the back might be slightly more appealing this year.what do you guys think of this team?
------Boruc-----
Zab--Shaw--Nasty--Coleman
Walcott--Coutinho--Snodgrass
RVP--Soldado--Benteke
Bench, Harper, Ward, Carbaral, BarkleyOpen Controls-
I have been toying with line ups that include a back 4.....maybe give it a little longer, then use WC to get a def of starters to carry out that plan.....more tempting after each game i watch 😛
Open Controls -
Seen a lot like this. I like it and will probably switch to something like this eventually.
Open Controls -
I think 4-3-3 is a great option this year, but I think you have too much invested in strikers you won't captain often enough to offer good value. I also think if you're gonna go this route you want 4 defenders you are happy to play every week, or 3 and a good rotating pair.
Open Controls

-
Is Ravel Morrison likely to drop in price tonight?
Open Controls -
Who to captain? Dzeko, Wally, Mirallas, Silva, Soldado? Thinking Dzeko or Soldado. All look decent, but none really great.
Open Controls -
Holy shit!!
I just checked Fiso 😯
Everybody must be using their WC!!
Time to re-think my 'not taking a hit' stance this week...Open Controls-
-
About 100 players going up & 100 going down!!
Surely that is a mistake on Fiso?Open Controls-
it is. we're working on the data - FPL have removed the NTI count from the site - not sure if this is permanent or just a temporary error by them. hopefully will be resolved shortly.
Open Controls-
ouch. have they had enough of your exposé?
let's hope not. although it would make life a bit "fairer" for the non ffs lot.Open Controls

lots of falls and rises, but not hiting my team for now...
Open Controls-
way more fallers than risers though.... i thought it was pretty even last year. may be just an early season thing.

Lol. Think they might still be experiencing problems...
Open Controls -
...what the fack...?!
Heh, well this is novel. Fiso ain't broke is it?Open Controls-
it was showing noughts all over earlier. could be up to something. totalfpl looks more normal

I'm not a sexist by any means, but is it me....or do we have an awful lot of Female Footy anchors?
Open Controls -
Female anchors in football now that ridiculous. And its perfectly acceptable to be sexist in this scenario actually its not even sexist.
Open Controls-
I just get tired of people that never played the game / coached the game, reading questions off a tele-prompter. Get 3-4 people in the studio that know the game and the conversations will carry themselves. No need for softball questions the the audience already knows the answer to.

so many transfer done today ?
i see so many players will rise and fall tonight .... never seen something like thisOpen Controls-
Had to do Mignolet before GW3 anyway, and looks like he'll go up.
Top 0.4% so far, let the great slide southwards begin!Open Controls

thoughts on this WC team?
Harper
Boruc
Coleman
Toure
Shaw
Zabaleta
Whittaker
Mirallas
Silva
Barkley
Walcott
Ben Arfa
Benteke
Aguero
SturridgeOpen Controls-
Horrible layout
Good team thoughOpen Controls -
Don't play Boruc every week, you need better keepers than that.
I do like the front 3, but i'd prefer Soldado in there and upgrade a bit elsewhere
Also Whittaker will likely lose his place soon.
Ben Arfa vs Nolan is a tough call too, both have good fixtures and potentialOpen Controls

Someone in the Fiso towers has pressed a wrong button.

Fiso and Totalfpl, going wild now......Glad i already got rid of my dead weight and already have 5 players that are looking at a rise....wooooo hooooo
