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.

    1) Is zabaleta rising tonight?
    2) Why are so many people getting Benteke before the Villa blank?

    I really hope all the wildcards being used were part of the initial gw1 plan. Wildcarding because a budget forward might not play seems beyond insane.

      Mess? Bench Anelka, Ward and Baker and you are good to go.

    Need a striker costing 8.4 or less. Who to go for? Already got Dzeko.
    Is RVW my best bet?

      That money in the bank could be a lifeline. How about Kos -> Coleman, Anelka -> Bent?
