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.

      I've gone for it. Wasn't going to but thought long and hard about it and I think I've worked out who I need and transfers I will then play the coming weeks. There's nothing wrong with an early wildcard. Lots of price rises too

    Does anybody know (or care to have a guess at) what's going on with Sky Sports FF's captaincy rule?

    Before the season somebody got clarification that you could change your captain before a gameweek started, and once again during a gameweek. I started GW1 with RVP (c), then changed to Soldado (c) before Sunday's match @ Palace, scoring double points for both. Now I'm trying to change my (c) to Mirallas for Saturday's game, but it's not allowing me. Is this because the game hasn't been updated to GW2 yet, or was the clarification incorrect?

      I think you're locked into Soldado as your GW2 captain now, unless you transfer him out. As I understand it, not quite sure myself.

      They have said 1 captain change, and 2 captains across their TV show and info, confusing everyone.

      The way I understand it is You had your original captain, then GW 1 you had 1 change and you made it. GWs run Saturday to Friday. So on Saturday morning up until Friday you can change your captain during GW 2.

      The trick is of course to set a captain on Sunday/Monday that plays the next GW on Saturday, so that you can change on the Sunday to another player who plays the following GW on a Saturday. That will get you double captains.

      In this case if you changed to Chelsea like I did, they play last in GW 2 so either I leave it or I change to someone else, either way I only get 1 captain for GW 2.

          I've only seen a FISO post where someone says they phoned them and were told selling your captain forces you to change to a new captain and use up your weekly change. Implication is you can't sell your captain if you have already changed captain to them that GW. Of course it will need testing out to see if that is really the case.

        I did the same, presume you can use a transfer on your Chelsea player though to someone who plays on Saturday, and then switch it to say RVP for the Monday. (I think)

          Last year you could do that and just not get double points from them but this complicates it maybe. I want to wait until Sat to do it though so I won't know if it's using up next GW's change or not. We'll see.

        Yes, that was the original interpretation of the rule (and may be the way it is), but a user on here e-mailed Sky FF for clarification before the season started and was told you could make 2 changes per week (1, pre-gameweek, 1 during the gameweek) if I remember correctly.

              Actually that may be right. I was thinking of the FPL way of determining gameweeks, whereby it locks at 11:30, updates, and changes to the next gameweek. I'm not 100% sure how Sky determine it.

                Its as i said the only thing up for debate is if they initally let you set your captain AND still get a change after. I thin kas it says 1 change per game week, you do not. But i shall see when people complain they couldnt get a second captain on Sun/Mon without a transfer.

                In that case I'm going to change captain to Mirallas on Saturday morning, then TRY to change captain to Soldado for Sunday's Spurs match, just to see if it can be done (having already changed RVP (c) to Soldado (c) already this past Sunday. That should clear up one aspect of it one way or another.

                    Sorry, I was away for a bit.

                    Ok, so I'm going to try to change my captain to Mirallas a few more times before Saturday 00:01 which, if it works, will prove 2 captaincy changes per week. If that doesn't work I'll do as I said just above, and, either way, I'll let you know how I get on.

    Will I take a 12 point hit to put RVP in my team? Baines - > Shaw / Anelka - > RVP / Hazard - > Barkley

      We can't tell you what your plan was. Even less-so with no information on your team or what transfers you have/haven't done already.

      Morrison (WBA or WHU?) I assume was your sub. Fix issues with the people you'll play before you worry about your bench.

      Also, goodbye to this comment. I just heard Soldado score.

    THE BITCH CLAUSE
    A player getting injured or suspended is one thing but I didn't get Anelka because he's a French bitch.
    Now people are jumping off his bandwagon before the wheels were ever attached,
    -4 is not sufficient punishment for Anelka owners,
    I hereby call for the introduction of the 'bitch clause' whereby any transfer out of a player who has acted like a bitch is automatically deducted a further 4 points at least.

    Hi guys, looking for a cheapish midfielder.. what are your opinions on Jarvis, Lallana and Ramirez? Or any other suggestions for the same price range/cheaper? Cheers
