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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I think i'm doin wildcard + bench boost chip to make up for the bad start. Anyone else?

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No way.

    2. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Save the bench boost for dgw

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm doing the same but adding a turbo boost and some nitric oxide

    4. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      not possible

      1. nikobg
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        oh yeah, i forgot.

    5. Towsor44
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I fancy a Cadbury's Boost, but not the one with iguana

    6. Ron_Swanson

      can't play 2 chips in same week

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Cardinal sin of gambling is to chase your losses

  2. Fabregasm
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Would Ivanovic --> Darmian/Clyne/Gomez be a smart move to free up some cash?
    He looked poor against Swansea and City are looking dangerous!
    What's your opinion on him and maybe transferring him out?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Even towards end last year he looked so shaky so Jose began ordering him to reduce his attacking forays

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Could even see him getting dropped or moving cb of Chelsea buy a quality left back

      1. BR
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        bad day at the office? yes

        just been made vice-captain, was constantly in attacking positions and wasn't far away from touching in Oscar's goal

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      no. City away was never gonna be easy, you bought him long term, one bad return sgouldnt change that

    4. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I swapped Ivan for soares. Saints next 3 games look tasty

  3. pundit of punts

    Who needs Pogba when we have Yaya with his mojo back. 😎

    1. Davido989

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I say we demand some form of compensation

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      this.

    3. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years

    5. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years

    6. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm sure i triple captained yaya but it was processed against courtois

  6. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Was the first goal deflected by Silva before it hit a WBA player and in?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      no

    2. Andrew7
      • 14 Years

    3. Ron_Swanson

      yep

    4. Andrew7
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sky sports presenter said its gonna be silvas goal

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        it won't be mate.

    5. Pablitto
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    6. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      1 no, 1 yes

  7. Higuita
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else considering Haz >> Payet this GW?

    1. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Moi

    2. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Haz > Ayew for me

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        People already selling Haz got very short memories.

    4. jam sandwich
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      yes, take out the best FPL player in the league and replace him with a relatively unknown quantity who notched 1 assist last game 🙂

      1. Higuita
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly

    5. Pablitto
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Fabs > Payet in my case

  8. brookisbabbling
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I have Yaya on Dug Out FC. He's on the bench! There's no auto subs right?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I have Bony on bench and played Remy for zero points!

  9. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    City tend to play on the opponents penalty area(other than with other couple of top teams)-not sure this will suit and lead to big hauls for Sterling.

    1. futura
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Early days but you could be right

  10. Demí
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is tonight a sign to get in Yaya Toure and Aaron Ramsey at any cost?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      😆 Probably.

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not really. Why Ramsey?

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yep.

    4. Lawrø

    7. zotter

    1. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      most will be WCing at GW 3 or 4 anyway

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        If you want to just do it I say 🙂

  14. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Goal 1 is going down as a Toure assist.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      where does it say that?

      dammit

  15. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    A wildcard in GW2 is looking incredibly tempting.

    I want Yaya, I want Aguero, I want Silva, I want to get rid of Walcott, Sterling, Bellerin, Ruddy and Mings...

    -_-

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin will be back... Very soon.

    2. thepuntmaster

      has silva been good? i have him...

    3. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah pal. I'm the same.
      But it makes sense to hold fire. All your players could easily score well in gw2

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years

      It's not a highlight

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I would have bet my bottom dollar he'd try and place it where he did. The greedy wee git!!! 🙂

    1. Evs

  21. fleagle1888
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone know the volume of transfers that triggers a price increase (or decrease) ?

    ...and when does the price increase take place ?

    Cheers

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nobody knows yet, the boffins need to calibrate the models based on observed price rises, and none have happened yet.
      Usually in the wee small hours UK time (but again none have happened yet, so we don't know yet this year).

  22. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    What a rough GW! I don't think I have had a first GW hit me so hard points wise. No big players have showed up, and the ones that have I wasn't even considering. Bloody bad.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Same.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Rough timesssss. Gotta remember it's only one gw and we have to improve from it.

  23. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    is Yaya playing further forward then?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No, just has room to run forward as West Brom are playing very deep.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      B2B.

  24. Lateriser 12

    40% of us are going to wildcard GW3.

    1. Evs

      In gonna hold, to what I've got.

    How has Sterling played?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      missed a great chance so crap

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      exactly

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Alright, but should have scored.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie

      Almost As good as ozil

    5. Evs

  26. jiGGidyJ1
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Butland Ruddy
    Azpi Mert Richards Gomez Coates
    Hazard Sanchez Chadli Ritchie Mahrez
    Aguero Sakho Deeney

    G2G?

  27. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So who would fault me from going from

    Ruddy | Henno
    Cedric | PVA | Azpi | Kosc | Morgan
    Ritchie | Haz | Sterling | Wally | Westwood
    Sakho | Pelle | Rooney

    to

    Fabianski | McCarthy
    Darmian | Gomez | Oxford | Layun | Muniesa
    Yaya | Ibe | Young | Hazard | Mahrez
    Pelle | Rooney | Kun

    ?

    1. La Décima Chaser
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      You will regret that! Gomez, Oxford, Layun and Ibe, are for me anyway ALL game 1 punts.

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Chadli better than Tadic and can cover Mane Yeh?
