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.

Maybe Anelka wants to call time on his career due to the tragedy?
Could be easily linked, both these news...Open Controls-

The retirement has been denied, but i doubt it

It might be just a knee jerk reaction from Anelka. Understandable really.
Open Controls-
Bottom line he will be affected for a while.
Sad.Open Controls

I think his brother/agent passed away

Here's a fun one. What would you do?
My backline options are Cole, Olsson, Chester, Coleman, and Kos.
I've already pulled Lukaks for Lambert. Basically Chester and Coleman are my only defenders this week. I have no idea how the ManU match will end up, or if Cole will even play. Should I go Chester-Cole-Coleman and risk losing points if CFC gets spanked, or should I take a 4pt hit up front, drop Cole, and grab someone like Zab, Enrique, or Baines(0m left)?Open Controls -
Love being one of the fug smuckers that dodged the Anelka bullet 🙂
Open Controls-
Me too , but I did have Lukaka and Negredo ,
No God would allow anyone to have all 3 ,
I feel anelkas owners pain .Open Controls-

Meh. I had Anelka on the bench already, but I do hate price drops.

Members, compare Silva 2013 with Silva 2012. Interesting change in approach. Should be good on a fantasy level 😉
Open Controls-
I felt he was more of a goal threat vs Newcastle but would like to see more than just the one game to judge if it'll be like that more often
Open Controls -
It's one game against frankly crap opposition, with part of the game against 10 men...
Open Controls-
Something to keep an eye on

Tottenham starting XI: Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose; Capoue, Paulinho; Townsend, Dembele, Sigurdsson; Soldado.
According to BBCOpen Controls-
Praying for Soldado not to get injured.....already done 2 transfers this week

the curse of the scout picks bench: benched, completely absent. possibly retired.
watch out this fridayOpen Controls -
Anyone ever lost an FPL player to retirement midseason? (I'm aware it's just a rumour Anelka is retiring)
I guess Ryan Nelsen counts?Open Controls-
VDV last season left some people a bit miffed
Open Controls-
Went to Hamburg didn't he?
I still remember how many people owned him...Open Controls

But there was far bigger notice for Ryan Nelsen's owners.
This is out of the blue and completely scuppers a lot of plans.Open Controls

Joking about Anelka before you know the facts? Ridiculous.
Open Controls-
🙄
Open Controls -
It was reported he had walked out of training and retired, how is anyone supposed to assume he had lost a family member?
Keeping his recent decisions in mind, like moving to China, it seemed typical from Anelka. Stop being ridiculousOpen Controls -
Calm down.

Total nightmare took a -4 hit and this is my team. Any suggestions?
Boruc. (Given)
Toure ward zab Coleman (baker)
Countino, Walcott, hazard, mirallas (Morrison)
RVP, lambert (anelka)
Would you take more hits to get anelka out? Would need another -8 I'd thinkOpen Controls -
best replacement for "le sulk" then?
Open Controls-
i'm looking at Aguero or RVP. Cant decide which one though.
Open Controls
-
Play Kim or take another 4 point hit to do Anelka > Lambert/Dzeko?
Open Controls -
Soldado starting in Tbilisi 🙁
Open Controls-
yes!
Open Controls
-
Ramsey scored yesterday and today Anelka's brother dies who was his agent also and due to which Anelka retires
Open Controls -
Just a quick note guys.
Not everyone with RVP has Anelka, you know. Or JRod.Open Controls-
-
Nah just have soldado and lambert instead . Poor me 😉
Open Controls -
And just because you don't have RVP doesn't mean you don't have Anelka.
Open Controls -
Mark has Weiner
Open Controls -
But everyone with Anelka has RVP 😉
Open Controls-
Ummm, no

Best 4.5 mid? I'm avoiding Barkley as I already have Mirallas.
Open Controls -
What to do with Anelka???
Switch to RVP or Aguero?
Auergo's next 2 fixtures look great.Open Controls-
Aguero
Open Controls -
Why did you have Anelka if you could afford RVP or Aguero??

*sniggers

Why do you keep saying the same thing?

is fiso not working properly for anyone else at the moment too?

I am thinking of bringing in either Yaya or Navas for Gw3 in place of Hazard, i currently have Silva in my team, would another City midfielder be overkill?
Open Controls -

Sinclair would be perfect for them
Open Controls

Should I WC with this team ?
Mig boruc
Baines Reid Rat Brayford Toure
Silva hazard mirallas paulinho Barkley
Bony Lukaku SoldadoOpen Controls -
this anelka news means im going to have to start one of...
Cole (mun)
Kim (MCI
Rat (new and unlikely to start, risk of 1 point sub appearance)
A Horrible coin toss between cole and kim.
Or Cole > Zab -4??Open Controls -
Alright all,
Probably been discussed (I tried to find but no luck)
Terry to Zab worth a 4 point hit? I know the golden rule is not for defenders, but not guaranteed that Terry will even play.
Current defence...
Terry - Clyne - Murner (Brayford - Kos)Open Controls-
I think its well worth it. For -4 you get an extra game (with a good fixture) and a price rise or two.
Open Controls

Yaya or Navas for Gw3? i've already got Silva
Open Controls-
i would go Navas. Like what I saw vs Newcastle
Open Controls

Pick one to play: Ivanovic, Hazard or Lampard
