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
Open Controls
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.
Open Controls
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
How does this front 7 look ?
Silva Mirallas Barkley Toure Nolan

Open Controls
feck whats wrong with anelka!!!?? as if lukaku isnt enough of a pressing matter
Open Controlstwo is better than one 😉
Open Controls
His agent died, so he's on compassionate leave.
Open Controls
Is that a joke?
Open Controls
no
Open Controls
That mercenary doesn't deserve a hit....
Open Controls
Not everyone who has RVP has Anelka as well, give it a rest!
Open ControlsCabral 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 ControlsThis might not help you:
I'm going Chester because I figure Tekkers to score on Pool.
Chester on, Tourre to bench.Open ControlsNeed an alternative to Anelka....will have to play Toure but that's ok....pool might keep villa out.
Open Controls
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 Controlsdefinitely 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 ControlsDue 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 ControlsI 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 ControlsWho 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 ControlsAbout 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 Controlsouch. 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 Controlsway more fallers than risers though.... i thought it was pretty even last year. may be just an early season thing.
Open Controls
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 Controlsit was showing noughts all over earlier. could be up to something. totalfpl looks more normal
Open Controls
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 ControlsI 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.
Open ControlsHave you not seen the last 20 years of Match of the Day?
Open Controls
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
Open Controls
thoughts on this WC team?
Harper
Boruc
Coleman
Toure
Shaw
Zabaleta
Whittaker
Mirallas
Silva
Barkley
Walcott
Ben Arfa
Benteke
Aguero
SturridgeOpen ControlsHorrible 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.
Open ControlsFiso 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
