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.
A bad start got just a little worse with this Anelka news. Oh well, guess that's forced my hand to get rid of the git, and probably take a 4-point hit in the process...

Thanks for the heads up on the new article you selfish b astards 👿

🙁

Who would you play if you didn't make the transfer?
Open Controls
Collins.. I would like Zaba for gw 3 also when Kos has a tough fixture
Open ControlsI suppose that's another reason to do it.
Do it. The game's more fun that way!
Just don't complain when he blanks and Collins returns pointsOpen Controls
I don't think it really warrants a hit. Just do it for free next week, unless your FT for next week is already spoken for, then maybe...
Open Controls
Already done a hit before this Anelka news. Have been debating whether to wildcard or not to get in my preferred front line of RVP, Tekkers and Soldado. hmmm...
Open Controls
same same but different
Open Controls
Or replace Stur with Giroud...I'm tellin' ya, 20 goals is attainable. People continue to sleep on him.
Open Controls
Hey guys if you had my (poor) squad would you WC!?
Mannone, Lewis
Ivan, Ward, Olsson (Nor), Baines, Baker,
Haz, Michu, Huddlestone, Walcott, Pennant,
Rvp, Anelka, Lukaku,Open Controls
I would wait until next week and get in all the price risers from Saturday and Sunday, scoop up the extra money then change to your GW3 team on Friday/Saturday morning. Check price changes on "fiso"
Open ControlsCheers for the advice, I'll prob wait till GW3.
Open Controls
Depends. I am having a good laugh everyday at those that built a squad around RVP without doing the required research to make the team viable. I am no elitist and wouldn't consider myself good at FPL. 2 teams in my mini-league have the same problem. Also factor in that what if RVP gets a serious injury, straight red (unlikely i know) how will that affect you if you do WC now? Have you made any transfers yet this GW?
Open Controls
You have a GK that doesn't start, Lukaku, and Anelka. Not to mention Ivanovic and Hazard won't be playing GW3.
Looks like a WC might be your only option if you don't want to take any hits.Open Controls
And Baker's injured.
Open Controls
Mark, not sure if this is a common problem, but sometimes, i log in, and I'm still not logged in, if that makes any sense? Just now, i logged in 5 times and it still said i wasn't logged in.
Open Controls
Mmm..not had reports of that as an issue. It's likely a cookie thing. Can you mail me at support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk
Open ControlsYeah it might just be my firefox needing updating or cache need clearing. I'll give that a go and see if it helps.
Open Controls
Similar has happened to me.
Did it say in the top right hand corner that you were logged in? It says I am but sometimes when I go to comment it says "log in to reply"Open Controls
ok guys, Terry hazard and lukaku. Whats my play this week in your opinions??
Open Controls
I'm in the same boat PLUS Kos. I think your chance of having Lukaku score against ManU outweighs the chance of Terry scoring or having a clean sheet. If you have a decent defender on the bench you may even consider Lukaks out and benching Terry.
Open Controls
Apparently Anelka's agent has died. Now I feel bad.
Open Controls
isn't his agent his brother?
Open ControlsMaybe, the club has said they have given him time off on compassionate grounds.
Open Controls
Isn't it his brother? Now I think we can understand his actions.
Open Controls
Ahhh same here.
Open Controlsyeah looks like it. sad news.
Open Controls
To those now considering transferring out Anelka, what is your plan?
I mean, he's only 5.5 and thus there aren't any viable 1:1 transfers. Therefore, you're committing at least two transfer to get him out.
Where will you be pulling the funds from to upgrade him?
(I warned you guys about this!)Open ControlsHazard to Silva, Anelka to JRod is one option I'd consider but I'll probably do a short-term fix first - Maiga or Cornelius - I'm set up for a 4-5-2 so, tbh, it's only an issue for GW3 when I've 2 Chelsea and 1 Villa on my bench. I'm not panicking yet but I am exposed to further injuries and bans for GW3.
Open ControlsYou went big for GW1 and it looks like you may pay for it!
I don't think you can target Jrod until we know more.Open Controls
And if you don't do it quick, he could drop in price. Get a move on. 🙂
Open Controls
Loads of £5.5m attacking options out there then......
Open Controls
all those RVP teams with Anelka are going to have a fun day!...i know there are a few
Open Controls
Shameless Re-Post... I'm desperate :{
Shoud I transfer out below this week or just 1 or 2 this week and who.... Its an unblievably hard decision I need guidance..PLEASE HELP!!
Baker, Ivan & Hazard
for
Zaba Siva & Coleman*
*Subject to changeOpen Controls
Interesting stuff. I was looking at this feature the other day and 1 thing that I think would improve it is a list of which players are which numbers. I was googling squad numbers to see who was who.
Open Controls
Hover over tells the name?
Open ControlsKnew I'd be missing something simple. Thanks.
Open ControlsNo problem. I'm a big fan of the pitch maps. Tell you a lot especially when you apply chances created by zone on top of them
Open ControlsNice tip. I've only really been using season ticker and RMT so far but just had a little play with them. HBA's positioning is pretty astounding. Surprised by Tonev's too.
Open Controls
A quick head up for anyone in the UK, ITV4 has both the Spurs and Swansea games today, Spuds kick off at 5.00pm is gmt.
Open Controls
thanks, woulda missed a scouting opportunity.
Open Controls
Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose; Capoue, Paulinho; Townsend, Dembele, Sigurdsson; Soldado
Open Controls
why play soldado?
Open ControlsBecause they want to win the football match, would be my guess.
Open Controls
soldado needs the fitness. this like the palace match is essentially still pre-season for him
Open Controls
Dembele CAM eh..
Open Controls
wtf why soldado...
Open ControlsAccording to Demi it's because they want to win, which sounds ridiculous to me...why would they want that?
Open Controls
So could Defoe start at the weekend?
Open ControlsI think they'd start Soldado in his first home game.
Open Controls
Damn, hopefully just a 60m run out.
That's putting me right off Soldado (c) thoughOpen Controls
Oscar or Hazard out
Silva or Coutinho in
FT
Will do JT to Zabaleta next week.Open Controls
Countinho. Will be top scoring mid this year I reckon.
Open ControlsAthevroy - http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/35q5nv/
Open Controls
I'll not waste any breath making fun of Anelka owners. If Soldado gets hurt in the Europa match today, I'm just as screwed.
Open Controls
WTF? Just logged on to see this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-bromwich-albion/10259885/Nicolas-Anelka-leaves-West-Bromwich-Albion-and-could-retire-from-football-completely.html
Bloody hell! and he is in my team - dont know whether to laugh or cryOpen Controls-8 coming up then
Open Controls
Any Fulham fans out there know how nailed on Kasami is? Needing a 4.5 to get in Dzeko for Anelka
Open Controls
Who did everyone swap out for Lukaku? I've already got Tekkers and Soldado
Open Controls
I'm stuck on this as well. Considering Giroud, Bony & Lambert...
Open ControlsGiroud on PKs without Arteta? Makes you think....
Open Controls
Aguero. Same trio.
Open ControlsAguero would be a good shout but I've always been stung when transferring him in.
Open Controls
😉
Open Controls
Berbilly - What's your team now?
Open ControlsBoruc Adrian
Terry Toure Collins Turner Brayford
Walcott Coutinho Nolan Mirallas Williams
Aguero Benteke SoldadoOpen Controls
I went Dzeco :S Already had Soldado and Lambert
Open Controls
Anelka -> Lambert for a hit?
Open Controls
Benteke->Vydra done!
Open ControlsCracking score this GW 🙂
Open Controls
Anelkas agent died, he hasn't retired
Open ControlsInteresting to note with the Spurs team. Kaboul is captain even though Dawson starts
Open ControlsMaybe because he's the captain, would be my guess.

AVB still going for that Thursday night trophy it seems
Maybe he would like to reach QFs again and let it ruin their Premier league campaign. Thinks he is still at Porto where people actually care about such tournaments.

Anyone taking hits this week?
If yes how many?Open Controls
