The Digest – Gameweek 3

Our final look back at Gameweek 3 assesses Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero, City’s perfect combination of form and fixtures, and the growing competition for our attention in the Chelsea midfield…

The Player

Callum Wilson’s clinically taken hat-trick at Upton Park earned Bournemouth their first ever win in the Premier league and has sparked a major bandwagon across the Fantasy games.

With many wildcards being wielded, the Cherries lone frontman picked the perfect time to announce himself as a value candidate for our three-man frontlines, with over 166,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers snapping up his services. As Fantasy managers search for this year’s Charlie Austin, who scored 18 times for promoted QPR last term, Wilson has subsequently risen from 5.4 to his original 5.5 starting price.

Delving into the data further, Wilson’s displays suggest he’s a viable option both home and away. Thanks to his weekend showing, the Bournemouth frontman has now scored more away goals than any other player in the top four tiers since the start of last season (15), with Eddie Howe’s team tailor-made to utilise his pace and movement on the counter. The Cherries, meanwhile, have won 17 penalties since the start of last season – three more than any other club in the top four leagues.

With the Upton Park result handing them a major morale boost, Bournemouth can approach their upcoming fixtures with renewed confidence. Eddie Howe’s side racked up 98 goals on their way to winning the Championship last season and with the likes of Simon Francis, Matt Ritchie and Max Gradel all supplying the creativity, Wilson’s growing band of owners have every reason for optimism ahead of four very strong showdowns in the next five (LEI, nor, SUN, WAT).

The Team

After three rounds of fixtures, Manchester City look in ominous form after a 2-0 win at Everton continued their 100% start to the season.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men sit at the top of the table, with nine goals scored and a trio of clean sheets accrued, and with an outstanding schedule to follow, many Fantasy managers are scrambling to load up on their main men.

Up next for the Etihad side are four home matches (WAT, WHM, NEW, BOU) allied with trips to Palace and Spurs in the next six Gameweeks which should allow Sergio Aguero the chance to run riot as a captaincy option.

Whilst few will be willing to go into that period without the Argentine on board, the battle is on for our attentions further back. Yaya Toure and David Silva look the chief midfield protagonists, though Raheem Sterling threw his hat in the ring with an assist at Goodison – for those who cannot stretch to Silva’s 10.1 price tag, Sterling is now just 0.1 more expensive than the Ivorian (8.9 to 8.8).

At the back, Aleksandar Kolarov’s 15-point haul against the Toffees moved the left-back to joint-second in the overall FPL standings along with team-mate Vincent Kompany. Although the Belgian is, overall, the more secure pick, Kolarov’s raids down the left and understanding with Sterling have proven a key weapon in the opening three outings. With Gael Clichy still building up his sharpness, there’s a growing belief that Pellegrini will tinker as little as possible as he looks to maintain momentum and move further away from the chasing pack.

The Talking Point

It took Pedro just 20 minutes to announce himself to Fantasy managers after opening the scoring in Chelsea’s 3-2 win at West Brom on Sunday afternoon.

By the time the final whistle went at the Hawthorns, the Spaniard had also bagged an assist and maximum bonus points, serving up a 13-point haul on his debut for the defending champions. Given that Eden Hazard has managed just eight points in his first three appearances, it’s easy to see why over 190,000 FPL managers have already snapped up his new team-mate.

Coming in at 9.5 to Hazard’s 11.5, Pedro offers an obvious alternative to the pricier Belgian as a route into Chelsea’s attack. Whilst there’s no questioning Hazard’s Fantasy potential – 14 goals and ten assists in each of the last two seasons says it all – Pedro’s acquisition perhaps indicates that the former Lille man may not be quite as “essential” in many managers’ eyes.

Whilst Hazard ultimately saw off the challenge of Cesc Fabregas as the prime Chelsea midfield pick last year, Pedro brings a far greater goal threat than his compatriot, having chalked up a 15.7% conversion rate in La Liga last term.

Certainly, the weekend showing has had an effect. Although he still sits in over 42% of FPL teams, Hazard has been sold by 404,000 FPL managers since the start of the season – over 110,000 more than any midfielder – and, along with Wayne Rooney, has been identified as the prime source of freeing up cash for our 15-man squads.

Whether Pedro can rival Hazard overall remains to be seen but with a 2.0 difference in cost, the Spaniard’s value for money is clearly set to play a part in how many assess the Chelsea attack from here on in.

    0.1 short for me to Vardy/Payet -> 4.5/Pedro.
    I might have kneejerked if I was in the money

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No reason to get rid of Vardy even if you could afford Pedro.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      4.4 is available.

      1. Sjaugen
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, I'm tunnel visioning this too hard

  2. thedalmeny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Help.. Amended again... 0 ITB... Any changes you'd suggest or is this about as solid as I'll get for a WC.

    Romero (McCarthy)
    Kompany, Azpilicueta, Sagna (Targett, Martin)
    Pedro, Coutinho, Mahrez, Redmond (Kouyate)
    Aguero, Costa, Diouf

    1. Forza Juventus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I personally would get a cheaper striker than Costa, and get Silva/Sanchez in midfield. More of an opinion decision though. Apart from that squad looks pretty solid to me.

      1. thedalmeny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah I agree, based on this week I'm going to give Costa a go.

        Going to give it 2-3 GWs and see where I'm at.

        If Costa doesn't impress I'll transfer him out and upgrade a midfield player.

        1. Forza Juventus
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah that's fair enough, having an 11 point striker gives u massive flexibility to be honest. If he doesn't perform and you drop him you can buy anyone in the game in all likelihood. Good luck man!

          1. thedalmeny
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks. Appreciated. Good to get some oldies perspective 🙂

  3. Forza Juventus

    Hi guys, my current team is as follows (0.8 ITB, 1FT):

    Schmeichel (Bou A)
    Cedric (Nor H) --- Azpi (Cry H) --- Gomez (Whu H)
    Chadli (Eve H) --- Hazard (Cry H) --- Ozil (New A) --- Mahrez (Bou A)
    Wilson (Lei H) --- Aguero (Wat H) --- Pelle (Nor H)

    Subs: Francis (Lei H), Huth (Bou A), Henderson (injured + WHU H).

    I like my players' fixtures, but i was just wondering do you think there's anyone i need to get urgently or should i hold my FT? Any opinions at all about my team would be appreciated a lot. Currently 1st in my 20 man ML but only by like 5 points, its still super close as it's early days. Many behind me have Wildcarded and have Silva/Sanchez etc which i'm worried about. Thanks.

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd play Francis ahead of Azpi

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Strong but could do with more City. Downgrade Ozil or Pelle for me.

      1. Forza Juventus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, i would like a City defender and mid tbh. Just hard to get Silva/Kolarov without taking a hit. Will be downgrading Pelle soon, just hard to do at home vs Norwhich. Ozil i would like to upgrade to Silva maybe, but don't want to lose all my Arsenal players either, and Sanchez is so expensive..quite a headache.

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I just pulled the trigger on Pelle to Gomis to fund Silva.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Azpi and Hazard out, sorted.

    What did folks think of Firmino last night?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I can't recall him doing anything, tbh.

    2. Fifa las vegas

      Meh, good, but not for FPL just yet anyways

  8. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 13 Years

    Is there a quick way of finding out how many your league have used a chip (not inc WC). When I run the Gargatron it looks like it includes the Wildcard as a chip

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      The WC is a chip.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Gargtron comes out as 3 chips to play when it should be 5 chips to play then?

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

      Link to Gargatton?

  9. Woy
    • 10 Years

    Everyone on here suggests I should hold Payet.

    But Pedro could tear it up at palace....

      1. Woy

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years

      I'd switch them

    3. Quinny___

    RMWCT if you want

    Butland McCarthy
    Gomez Kolarov Darmian Francis Targett

    1. Galfadez
      • 10 Years

      can afford Silva over Yaya but my main rivals have Yaya and I just feel he could go big this year

    2. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
      • 12 Years

      Dont like Pedro. He randomed all his points last GW. Get Hazard for a sure choice.

      the rest is fine.

        darmian to 4.5/5, pedro to hazard. but, i'm tempted by pedro, i think he could be good value

        1. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Up to you. He wasnt very prolific for Barca. AND THATS BARCA. Hazard s proven FPL metal. I personally got hazard. If im paying 9+m for a mid and you have history of that player being prolific i would get him.

      Get rid of the first 7 players on this list and we can talk

      1. meerlight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        keepers are ok, but I don't like the defenders

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Hate that layout tbh

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Defence is terrible. How come I can have Azpi Shaw and Kolarov, yet have Silva, Aguero and Sanchez as well as a sneaky Lukaku pick? Rethink it I suggest...

    2. Al Bundy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I think you need another midfielder. And your defence is too weak for my liking, which may be because your attack/midfield is great

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        It's good but considering the defence is so bad, it's not great

      2. stojanovzr
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        westwood

    3. Quinny___
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Oshea played because Kaboul was injured so he's a risky pick
      Targett will be gone soon to when bertrand is back
      Steven taylor played because janmatt was injured
      Francis plays for bournmouth, they will concede.

      Other than that g2g. but the defence is a SERIOUS issue

      1. stojanovzr
        • 9 Years

    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Schmeichel - Fabianski
    Koscielny - Azpilicueta - Huth - Francis - Coates
    Hazard - Ozil - Chadli - Henderson - Albrighton
    Aguero - Sakho - Deeney

    Would you WC next GW or not?

    If I WC I will take a punt this GW. If not a -4/-8 could be done to set the team up for the coming GW's...

    Thanks lads.

    1. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
      • 12 Years

      -8 and ull be fine.

      1. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Sakho>wilson
        Ozil>Yaya

        Upgrade Deeney to Teke next GW5

        1. No Pirlo No Party
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Interesting. Thank you. I was thinking along the same lines for the -8

          Sakho --> Wilson
          Henderson -->Yaya
          Koscielny --> Kolarov

          Maybe being an Arsenal/Ozil fan is making me overlook him slightly.

        2. _Gunner
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          so if I have sterling and got Aguero for a hit, Should I take another one to do Mert > Kompany/Kolarov ?

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Perhaps an educated punt so that you aren't forced into a WC but don't need the hit?

      Your front 7 look fine unless Sakho is out. Perhaps Kos > Kolarov?

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Good point. one of the suggested transfers above could be done to allow either option next GW (Deeney/Sakho > Wilson or Koscielny > Kolarov)? I'm all for playing the long game, but already 40+ points behind my cash ML leader.

    Points: 106
    Rank: 2,267,835

    Stekelenburg, Fabianski
    Azpi, Cahill, Shaw, Clyne, Shawcross
    Payet, Ramsey, Ritchie, Mahrez, Firmino
    Benteke, Rooney, Deeney

    I just used my FT to get Mahrez in for Bolasie. Can I get away with transferring Rooney out next week, Deeney week after and Shawcross after that without using my WC? Is there going to be a better week to use my WC or shall I just go for it?

    It doesn't look so bad to me after watching Firmino last night and surely Ramsey will start firing soon.. Also my fixtures are okay for this week. Thoughts? What would you do?

    Sorry if I double posted, I think a different thread started or something.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I went for it, and am happy I did now. But then again, I was happy I didn't do it last week and waited for this week. Maybe I'll be sorry next week too though? I'll let you know 😉

    2. Larry Legend
      • 9 Years

      Next week a good time to WC if you need to, because we can see how the transfer window and international breaks shake down.

      1. JimmySpindle
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ah good point, I'll risk it for a biscuit!!

  15. ANON.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hit wildcard: Team A or B?

    A:
    Butland, Schmeichel
    Azpi, Kolarov, DARMIAN, Francis, Oxford
    Sanchez, SILVA, CHADLI, Mahrez, Westwood
    Aguero, Benteke, Wilson

    B:
    Butland, Schmeichel
    Azpi, Kolarov, GOMEZ, Francis, Oxford
    Sanchez, YAYA, PEDRO, Mahrez, Westwood
    Aguero, Benteke, Wilson

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Over the season, Darmian beats Gomez, Silva beats YYT (I hope!), Pedro will probably beat Chadli alright. But it's still 2:1 in favour of A. Maybe Shaqiri or Ayew over Chadli?

      1. ANON.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, on A at the moment. Will see how Shaqiri gets on, might bring him in later. Quite happy with Chadli for now

  16. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Which do you prefer on WC?

    A: Hazard, Chadli, Sanchez, Kolarov
    B: Hazard, Ozil, Silva, Sagna
    C: Pedro, Sanchez, Yaya, Kolarov

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      C looks awesome if Pedro performs

    2. ANON.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      C

    3. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      D) Hazard, Ozil, Yaya, Kolarov/Sagna.

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        do you not fancy Sanchez in the long run

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Don't fancy him right now. Might come good later though

      2. Judas
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        that option with Kolarov leaves me 1.0m ITB too!?

    4. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      C, out of those.

  17. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

      A: Kolarov who should start for a while
      B: Sagna who will play for the next 3-4 games, then get dropped

      Closer to first choice than he was last season but Clichy will still get games and CL might well cause rotation.

      You have to imagine that he costs 6.5m and spend the extra on a backup defender. Even at that price, he's good value.

  20. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Would it be bonkers to bench Depay for Shelvey? Shelvey in better form and I rate Swansea's chances, it's just the price putting me off.

    1. Woeisme
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who told you shelvey was in better form than DePay?

        1. Woeisme
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          So, would you bench DePay for shelvy?

      1. pompeyfan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        exactly, he's not

        Yes - it would be madness to bench him for Shelvey imo

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        The points total

  21. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Madness?

    Shaw, Ozil & Haz -> Sagna, Sanchez & Silva (-8)

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Haz out for a -8 before Palace at home (and an international break) qualifies as madness.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Do it

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A minus 8 for those moves feels unnecessary. I would want Silva and Sanchez, but a hit from Hazard feels not quite right. I did take a hit last week to sell Ozil for Silva (and it cost me 4 points, but made me a little money), so even that is questionable based on my little case study.

    Is it rash NOT to have any Che players in my team ??

    1. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rash> No. Risky? yes

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who does?

    3. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      depends if you think they are going to score well

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      None for me anymore. They are not in-form, and their fixtures are not so tasty. When they show on the field that they can keep clean sheets against anyone, or score goals against teams that are not West Brom, then I will revisit.

  23. hazza44
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Need some serious help with my team! Is it worth using WC or is it fixable?? Any thoughts and ideas on my team would be great. Have one free but prepared to take a hit.

    Ruddy (Butland)

    Mert Aspi Huth (Francis Coates)

    Silva Sterling Payet Chadli (Wanyama)

    Pelle Aguero Sahko (0.3mil ITB)

    Cheers guys 🙂

    1. juggos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I see nothing wrong with it really. If Sahko is injured then you'd need to get him out maybe for diouf. Mert out otherwise. If you're up for taking a hit then Sterling + Pelle could become Ayew + Costa or Gomis + Pedro I think

  24. Essrick
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Which one as my Rooney to Aguero enabler?

    A) Kosc to Saylor

    B) Haz to Pedro

    C) Sterling to Ayew/Shaqiri

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

      1. Essrick
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Do you think Saylor will keep his place once Janmaat is back?

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      C).

      1. Essrick
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Who would be your choice with £7.3m?

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Ayew, or Shelvey.

      Im doing it. Kun is becoming less and less of a diff. Might as well do it now. DGW for all we know could be two unfavorable fixtures.

    1. BigManBakar

      Hey Doos, mind helping me out on what transfers I should make with my team?

          Mignolet

          Koscielny / Richards / Cedric

          Hazard / Ozil / Chadli / Mahrez

          Pelle / Aguero / Wilson

          ( Ruddy / Francis / Azpi / Fletcher)

          1 FT, 0.8 banked.

          1. Essrick
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Kosc to Kolarov surely?

            1. BigManBakar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Not to keen on getting rid of the Arsenal defender. Reckon he'll be back this week. Thanks anyways 🙂

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                azpi to kolarov then?

                1. BigManBakar
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  Basically it's between:

                  A) Azpi to Kolarov
                  B) Pelle to Benteke
                  C) Pelle to Diouf
                  D) Saving the transfer.

            @ TheFantasyFreak - sorry about that - business intervened. Customers getting in the way of the smooth running of the company again ... 😉

            Koscielny to Kolarov

            http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/10212/

            Özil to Yaya Touré

            Is what I would advise ...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Azpilicueta to Kolarov would work ...

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years

                And you need Sánchez, soonest.

                • 11 Years

                That's what I'm looking at actually.

              Thank you so much! 🙂

              Pelle to Diouf/Benteke a less of a priority you reckon?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can't believe that I'm craving Lukaku in my team.

      Being serious too.

  26. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How's this for a WC Team?

    Fabianski // Schmeichel

    Kompany // Cedric // Ward // Bassong // Nyom

    Depay // Ramsey // Coutinho // Redmond // Westwood

    Diouf // Aguero // Costa

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't put Costa if I was making a WC team

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I prefer Costa over Hazard, still not sure about Pedro

    2. Randy_Marsh
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not great, like the forward line though

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      uninspiring midfield and short one City player.

  27. Sjaugen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hmm new calculus:
    a1 Vardy -> Wilson to ride the price hike
    a2 Wilson -> 4.5 after 2x hike
    a3 Payet -> Pedro with 0.0 ITB

    Notes:
    Take hit to force it if Pedro rises after the CRY game
    Gambling on Wilson trend. Might go sour if LEI keeps a CS

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Good prospect. Probably an outside cap choice. But aguero is the man

      • 8 Years

      captain material

  29. Ron_Manager
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I like my whole team except Pelle. Should I get rid or save transfer for int break? 0 itb

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Keep this GW for Norwich at home, then ship.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Get rid.

      Saving 2 xfr did naff all for me over last season's mini league winner who wildcarded in GW2 and taken hits both weeks since yet still leads me by 50 pts.
