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

    For all you knee-jerkers I reckon Theo will start next week

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

      But what about next week, and the week after that etc...

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

        This, good riddance now anyway

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

    Hmm, hope Silva & Walcott's price sticks...

    I'd rather make the transfers next week.

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      yeah, I think Walcott has a good chance of getting some decent minutes next week, so would good to take stock at that time

    Lovely cleansheet and maybe a BPT from Kolarov, I'll take the one point off Aguero rather than -1 off Coates from my bench.

    48 all out, happy days! 🙂

    "Shaqiri sompletes Stoke medical" .........anyone tempted?

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Shaqiri is a greedy git, so perfect FPL perfect

    3. El_Shaw
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on the price, and also his fitness could be a big risk though

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

        Yes obviously got to wait a bit, but could be an FPL gem.

        I'd say he'll come in at 6.5

    4. Wax
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      How much points is passing a medical?

    5. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      If he's under 7.0, then yes.

  5. Mainoo Magic
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Rooney>benteke a good move? Already have Pelle and deeney

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Save FT

  6. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Firminio anyone?

    Is he likely to start at the weekend do we think?

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      As a pool Fam he looked good when he came on and think bou H is the perfect match to play him

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Much better options

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Lol what are you on?

      2. Jimbo123
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Until Firminio has one good game and everyone jumps all over him. *See Dimi Payet.

    3. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      he scored a hatty today in a friendly. Will start against Bournemouth

  7. Richd
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    So if I did lay back and jerk off my knee. Who would Payet replace ?

    Mane, wally, sterling or hazard?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      The one who doesn't start.

    2. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'd hold, personally

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

        That's my plan. However the fixtures for West Ham are so beautiful.

    3. Olivier Bernards watch

  9. Captain Shirokov

      1. The Light Knight

        LooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooool

    2. Wax
      • 11 Years

      makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside

  10. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    That was possibly one of the most scariest matches I have ever watched as I am not a owner of a City player...

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      turned out alright in the end. Yaya wagon will be funny. although I said that 2 years ag!

  11. DonTheSpecialOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Haz is 11.5 and Silva 10... 1.5 saved after next GW?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Meh not so certain

    2. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm quite liking this plan:

      Walcott > Payet this week.
      Save
      Rooney > Aguero and Hazard > Silva.

      Transferring out such explosive players could backfire spectacularly, though...

      1. DonTheSpecialOne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Looks great. But yes, high risk high reward etc

      2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        What about Ayew?

      Well at least I'm out nice and early so it frees up another league space I can use before its too late..

  17. Mary
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Funny how some people find the need to PRETEND they got 85 points when they didn't? Now I'm not naming names and I'm certainly not trying to cause drama, I hate drama, I really do. But Sponge-Worthy has his team linked and it says 33 points, far off the 85 points he claimed, pathetic, right?

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

      nah, its all part of the fun, all good banter

    2. ⚛Aeneas⚛

      Think he was baiting people like you mate- We live in the age of the troll -- Sadly.

      Come on, have some joy in your life.

  18. Seb Wassell

    21 points. With -1 to come from the bench!

  19. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Typical gw1 Yaya trolling 😐 Gonna be tough to not get jerky

    Got plagued by Kompany in my ML as well. From 3 to 11 points behind

  20. nolicnosnhoj
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Fab to Payet or save the FT?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Payet I think

    2. Mary

      your name backwards is john soncilon

    GW1 can feck off , what a load of tosh, thankfully GW2 starts in 4 days time......

  23. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    That Kompany goal just cost me my H2H (rival on triple C chip on Silva) and 1 Kolarov BAP!

  24. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mangala and Sterling were decent.

    Watch out for City's defenders this season. Gonna rack in them points.

    No more 2 strikers up top.

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Got O'Shea (4.5) and 0 ITB. Should I:

    A) Get Oxford
    B) Get Gomez
    C) Wait. O'Shea might play.

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

      B

  26. Kirwan24
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Strange week. Going to save my FT and observe people like Mahrez/Ayew/Payet to see how they do next week, then consider shipping Walcott and Hendo for 2 of these three, depending on how they perform too.
    A lot of watching and waiting.

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

    So, here's my dilemma..

    I want to do Sterling, Walcott and Rooney to Mahrez, Silva and Aguero before GW3.

    How do I go about it? I have the exact budget to do it!

    I would like to keep Walcott but I cannot have him fall.

    So Sterling to Mahrez this week? Walcott to Silva, Rooney to Aguero next week (-4)?

  28. FozzieBear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Taking a points hit. Refuse to WC and consoling myself that I'm just condensing my three week plan into one.

    Time for True Detective season finale 😀
