Tonight’s Hawthorns encounter between West Brom and Man City brings the curtain down an opening Gameweek that’s failed to live up to most managers’ expectations. Having chalked up 16 clean sheets in the season gone by, the Baggies will be looking to put the brakes on Manuel Pellegrini’s men, whilst the visitors will be buoyed by a round of results that’s already seen title rivals Chelsea and Arsenal stumble out the blocks.
Is it knee jerky to consider WC...
(Knows answer)
Not if your team is rubbish
It has done rubbishy but whether it is rubbish or not is a judgement
No, because there are 2 WC's this year, last year you could only burn the 2nd in Jan, this year you can use it anytime 2nd half of the season.
Less so than in previous years as it disappears on 28th December anyway, so no particular upside to keeping it for a DGW late in the season...
Nope. Pre season means very little, it usually takes the first week to figure out who's going to do well. Also, you get two WCs per half season now.
Interesting, was expecting a resounding yes, may have to have a look...
West Brom will score.
I have Sterling (c) who missed a 1v1, Aguero on the bench and unlikely to come on, and Kolarov.Aguero will come on for some fitness, for how long who knows.
20 at least i would say
I am doing Rooney > Aguero earlier than planned
The other thing is, WBA being stuffed.
Are you going -8 this week Doos?
Yep. Or -12 ...
🙂
😯
Which payers are you looking to change so urgently?
Falcao, Ivan and ?Ivanovic
Gomis, Ayew and Gomez.Gomis for Falcao, Gomez for Ivan and Ayew for ?
Also, sorry to nag but is Gomez nailed on?
Must make room for Silva.
He's in my new plan
Absolute magician
Pure class
It's the same every year, I find "better value" in other mids and end up with Silva 4-5 weeks later. He's sooo good.
Yeah, he was in my team 3495 drafts ago. Way before I started thinking too much 🙂
but he will play on the wing with De Bruyne coming in?
Yep.
This game is really ruining my plan of getting Walcott out for Yaya week 3 to fund an extra 0.5 for Rooney to Aguero...
David Silva is just a Rolls Royce of a footballer.
Easy on the eye that's for sure
Best player in the league at finding space.
Heavy and a bad 2nd hand value?
Agreed - and I am not watching.
Easy finish for sterling
Feel robbed
Never let something trivial that's outside of your control affect you.
I'm still not sure how he didn't score
His conversion rate makes you expect it 95% of the time
isnt that what he did all last season? You were warned
I guess but that was pretty special
Remember a few seasons ago when Chelsea started the season with a dgw. Fruitful times!
I remember one season where the second round of matches was a Wednesday. All counted as one dgw
Also remember harte smashed it that week. Leeds won at arsenalYes I recall Ivanovic scored both games
Ivan (C) brought me 40+ points. Painful to think that my whole team only got 27 this gw.
happened twice
2 years in a row Chelsea opening DGW actually due to European Supercup... My infant son got 100pts in his first ever week as a fantasy football manager. It's been downhill for him ever since.
Was it Greendreams on here who had 4 Manchester City players in his team? 😀
He wont make a transfer all season
Has sterling passed the ball forward even once this game?
Apart from that pass to myhill
Lol
Ooh 😀
Wouldn't be surprised if Kun goes on and gets a yellow card and only slightly pulls a hammy.
I don't like u 🙂
Wth
nature of the gameweek
Well I really hope ur wrong!
Ultimate bandwagon team for gw2 following panic wildcard
Guzan
Gomes, Oxford, Darmian
Mahrez, Albrighton, Cabaye, Yaya, Payet
Vardy, Gestede
Etc etc, etc 🙂
That team is just nonsense
Where is Adrian 🙂Good point. He can be captain!
Nicely set up for an Aguero brace in the 2nd half.
He's popular, therefore won't.
Aguero is always the exception.
Can see why Pulis wants a keeper
Myhill really isn't that goodHe is decent
At least last season he was. Kind of saved wba
Decent save on Sterling thoigh
Come on that was a piss poor shot!
Both imo
Go back in for Hennesey please he's rotting on my bench
yes, he should have saved both goals
Sterlings looked likely tbh. But his finishing has let him down, again.
This. Typical Liverpool sterling performance
Can't even finish his tea.
How good is Silva to watch? So much time on the ball, such effortless grace.
Sterling > Yaya
Hazard > Mahrez
Rooney > Aiew
-8
Yay or Nay?
😉
Not getting Gomez in for another -4?
Already got him 😎
Haha, Nay to all. Hope this is a joke.
Ayew is a mid...
The one from Villa 😉
Neigh.
Thanks, Ron
Yay all day
Yaya vs Chelsea
Mahrez away to the team that beat arsenal
Rooney assisted GW1 and gets villa to gi at
So no.
Wild card after city play Chelsea
Silva dominating the game like Özil was supposed to yesterday...
At least he didnt chicken out like di maria
Who needs Di Maríá when you've got Ashley Young being outplayed by Kyle Walker? 😎
Better to accept you're over hyped than prove it every time.
Such a class player
really wish Mata could influence a game like thatlet him play in number ten.
West Brom is playing like a fifth division team tho.
Commentator said "kolarov looks like he's in abit of trouble"
What did he mean??No clue
Pellegrini telling him to give the opposition a chance and he's ignoring him.
he never done the dishes, his wife is going to go mental
This gameweek is testing my patience to the maximum.
😕yeah. me too, had Yaya for weeks and took him out
That's why some people don't like Sterling but i'm still sure he's going to get points. Maybe not today but still...
BBC have given the goal to Silva with yaya assist
wrong though.
BBC Fantasy Premier League?
Do I trigger a WC for this team?;
Schmeichel
Azpi Huth Francis
Haz Yaya Mahrez Sanchez
Benteke Aguero Wilson
Subs; McCarthy Gomez Wanyama SaylorPlease tell me this is Sarcasm.
Feeling knee jerky all of a sudden
I have done the same thing for the same exact midfield + Westwood. I also have Darmain, and Clyne, and Pelle instead of Benteke.
Have you wild carded?
The best 4.5 GK?
Well this week is turning out to be a head ****
Need more data must stay strong hahaha
Not convinced by anything I have seen
Bandwagons are definitely imminent
Walcott and Fabregas my biggest causes of tension in my team
This ^
I also have Walcott and Fabregas and my midfield suddenly looks poo after this week.
So no more comments on here about Silva not being an FPL player, the amount of comments I used to see about that
He wasn't at the time, but since the start of last season he's started to be more direct.
Will Yaya keep his first goal?
yep
Yes
No
