We delve into the Gameweek data now in our first members article of the week. Amongst this evening’s topics for analysis are Liverpool, Stoke and Southampton’s midfielders, Swansea and West Brom’s frontmen, Man United’s full-backs and Palace’s summer signing with a penchant for a pot shot.

Beat the Popular % FPL Team"
A quick update on how things progressed after GW1
Safety score being 45
308 entered with 46 being eliminated
Still open to entrants (100+ so far)
As it stands this would be GW2 Team to beat (budget allowing)

Toby 24.4% Walker 20.2%
Mahrez 29.8% Payet 27.7% Kante 25.9%
Aguero (c) 46.3% Ibrahimovic (vc) 44.0%
Subs
Jaku 15.5% Fletcher 15.5% Grabban 4.5% Capoue 3.8%
League Code 120206-79052
GOOD LUCK-
As long as Kante keeps his ownership this should be pretty easy
-
Mr Coutinho is making a decent rise in his Popularity % - so maybe thursday/friday he might have to be shoe horned in at the expense of some of those defenders !
-
-
Be careful, the mods don't like people spamming games (unless it's their own 😉 )
-
Phew I only just sneaked it. Thank God Kante is in there that's all I can say.
-
My reward for running this competition is having the fantastic task of suspending managers in the league.(Can`t imagine how TM copes in LMS 😉 )
-
Much harder this season with the new FPL site.
-
So true TM
FPL need to get that fixed ASAP
-
-
-
-
Looks good
Just joined
-
-
So who's likely to bring on more points, Shaw or Redmond?
-
United cleanie
-
Agreed
-
-
-
Coutinho and Negredo show price rise in the App but not on the website where it's allowing me do Gray to Negredo!
What's going on?? Did they rise?-
Yes.
-
-
Is captaining Sigurdsson a bad idea ?
-
No other options?
Seems a massive punt. -
yes
-
-
2-0 Barcelona
-
Turan brace
-
-
Vardy -> Costa is certainly tempting.
-
costa+new card rules = cards, alot of cards
-
costa+revived chelsea = goals, alot of goals
-
Great minds 😉
-
He scored 5 points and should have gotten a red card for being disgusting. He was lucky.
-
Costa has only gotten 3 red cards in his entire career. And he won't get a yellow every game because i think Conte will discipline him
-
-
-
Costa + wat + BUR = goals, a lot of goals
-
-
Vardy is due a goal, Costa is due a red. I'd hold.
-
I thought Vardy looked very rusty. Air shot and hit straight a defender with GK nowhere.
I think I'll wait and see what Wenger says about Koscielny, that will have a bearing
-
-
I'm giving Vardy another week, then reviewing.
-
This where I'm at
-
-
One more week for vardy.
-
Did you get my email the other day?
-
Oh I'll have a look now. Usually only on work email during the week
-
OK, definitely worth a look 😉
-
Just saw it, cheers MJ!!
-
-
-
-
I`m sticking with young Jamie - He`s surely got to rub salt in Wenger`s wounds with a goal or 7
-
-
Team for this week.
Foster
Baines Valencia Amat
Firmino Alli Hazard
Aguero Gray Vardy
One place left
A.Redmond
B.Stones

-
Thanks Rainer.At least you answered.
-
-
A
-
-
Tadic and Redmond. Bench both, play both, just play one?
-
Play one.
-
Just one this week.
-
Just Tadic of the two.
-
Just Tadic
-
Just Redmond
-
Both
-
Red
-
Play Redmond.
-
Tadic.
-
Tadic all day
-
-
Messi goal 3-0
-
Iv asked this already and ye said it was an easy decision but I'm finding it hard to decide.
Drop Friend or drop Gray this GW??-
Friend
-
Dropping Friend in a week when they have Sunderland ? . I don't see a stand out replacement for Gray either . Who would you replace him with ?
-
Want to play Valencia, stones, Williams bk 3.
Play 343 with gray v pool.
Not gone on idea though-
He hasn't impressed but it was his first game in the Prem . I would usually give a player another chance especially when there isn't a stand out replacement .
-
-
-
-
Who were the risers/fallers last night?
-
Coutinho,Negredo,Kingsley up
Sobhi
Wimmer
Ki Sung-yueng
Austin
Balotelli
Rhodes
Mkhitaryan
Ramsey
Hart
Yaya Touré down
-
-
Payet also injured?
-
Probably.
-
source?
-
Twitter
-
BREAKING: Payet has a 'small knock' but is still expected to start against Bournemouth on Sunday
-
thank you sir
-
-
-
-
-
-
West Ham's Collins. Yes go? No go?
Is he a reliable starter?-
No no no
-
I'm looking at him.
West ham have some ok ish fixtures -
Ha. No.
-
Doosra will be here to yell at you shortly 😉
-
I'll get mi coat..
-
I'm only messing about 🙂 .
-
I know, me too 😉
-
-
-
-
Heaton Foster
Shaw Stones Friend Souare B. Smith
Hazard Firmino Redmond Deulofeu Feghouli
Ibrahimovic Agüero Gray
What would you do?
A) ditch Feghouli
B) save -
Not really sure what to do with Mané. I'm thinking of doing a GW4 WC (though not set in stone), maybe it's worthwhile transferring him out?
Alternatively I could bench him this week and play Friend (sun) so Manè will be ready for Spurs ...-
Will he be fit for Spurs?
-
Most probably, only a doubt for Burnley atm.
-
-
I'd keep then, even if you do WC GW4 you'll probably keep Mané. Fixtures look a lot better after that.
-
-
-
I'd wait till the press conference. Seen LFC accounts on Twitter saying Mane was back to Melwood very quick after the hospital which is clearly a good sign. He is essential to Klopps style so if he's good to go then he'll start. Sit tight!
-
If YOU feel he`ll be back for the Spurs match then keep him on the bench and save that FT
-
Difficult one. I'd probably take him out for a player with a plump fixture this week. Payet, Firm/Cout & Eriksen come to mind.
-
Wait until we get some solid information on the matter, and by solid, I mean the mouth of Jurgen Klopp.
-
Thanks everyone. I'll wait for Klopp's presser 🙂
-
I'd keep him and play Friend.Sunderland away is a good fixture
-
-
Foster (Jakupovic)
Valencia, Terry, Stones (Friend, Amat)
Hazard, Firmino, Alli, Redmond (Capoue)
Aguero, Vardy, Gray
1FT, 0.0 in bank
If price rises loom much closer:
A) Vardy & Alli -> Ibra & Lamela (-4)
B) Save FT -
Chances of Ibra going up tonight (on 71% of FPL Stats?) Cheers!
-
V V unlikely. Tomorrow, probably.
-
Hopefully not, hope it's Friday
-
-
-
Deulofeu a hold? Thinking of doing a straight swap to Ramirez or Vardy to Costa and Deu to Lamela...
Just can't see him being nailed with Bolasie coming in and Lukaku back.-
Agree, he is now a huge rotation risk. Worth giving him another week or 2 though.
-
I'll probably hold and give him a chance.
-
Fixtures are good which is why I got him in the first place, agree might be a bit premature to trade him out
-
-
Foster
Valencia Amat Stones
Hazard Firmino Tadic Ramirez
Ibra Kun Gray
Jaku VVD Friend Capoue
Anything need doing? Think I can comftably save this week.-
Gray is the player in your team i would be monitoring as a potential transfer out, but no urgent panic so yeah good to save!
-
save for sure
-
Looks good, sit on it.
-
-
I currently have Heaton and Valdes, but I'd like to get Foster in. He's going up in price tonight. Worth taking either out?
-
Won't be able to afford it unless I do it tonight.
-
Foster isn't going up tonight according to FFF
-
Fplstatistics.co.uk has him at 100.3
-
FFF had Coutinho on 100% for 2 days before he went up, Foster is not at 100% on there yet.
This will be a good test to see who's more accurate.
-
-
-
Foster didn't rise, Fix is more accurate so far.
-
-
There're 37 gameweeks left. You have time my friend, you have time..
-
That pair is not bad at all for the time being.
-
You picked that pair for good reason. Foster could concede two this weekend and then he wont be flavour of the month. Your two have good fixtures coming up, stick with them.
-
-
cant pick 3.. should i go 4 at the back?
Valencia, Stones, Kone, Friend, Kingsley-
Valencia, Stones, Kone
-
Never a fan of 4 at the back, clean sheets so difficult to predict early on too. I'd play Kingsley Kone Valencia.
-
same i dont usually go for it ..but was thinking of benching Friend and Deulofeu this week in favour of the other 4
-
Deu away to wba and rotation risk with Bolasie in and Lukaku back..
-
Also I think he will retain his spot for this game atleast.
-
-
Could work I give you that but I personally wouldn't, always rather play a max amount of attackers.
-
cheers man, fwiw i know i'll end up going 343 but with 2 clean sheets sitting on the bench
-
Ha that's always the way it goes. Good luck anyways.
-
-
-
-
-
Valencia,Kigsley,Kone
-
-
It's been one week. No one knows what constitutes a 'good' fixture just yet. 95% of 'logic' is based on last year's performance and generic assumptions when quite a lot has changed, in truth. Folks are far too dismissive at this stage.
-
Give us an example Parm?
-
It's everywhere, most of you just don't know it.
-
It was a genuine question.
-
-
-
Hull are the new Leicester.
-
^ This is fully concievable; Snodgrass is the new Mahrez and Abel is the new Vardy.
-
Clucas the new Kante
-
-
-
-
Have to transfer ayew tonight.
Have tadic and don't fancy redmond double up.
Don't trust Barkley to show up every week.
That leaves me with lamela??
Any others to consider??
Maybe save some money too to upgrade vardy if he blanks again although I'm keen on Costa for some strange reason.-
oscar maybe
-
Have hazard.
-
-
Barkley will sparkle this season.
-
I'd go with lamela if you don't already have Kane
-
-
Who to drop?
Foster (Jaku)
Walker - Valencia - Stones
Lamela - Willian - Martial -Redmond
Aguero - Zlatan - Long
Jaku - Evans - Capoue - Smith
1) good to go
2) Evans for Long
3) Evans for Redmond
4) anything else?
5) wildcard
6) delete ypur team and do something useful like collecting stamps-
6
-
Your main question is
What do YOU think Man U v Soton result will be and therefore adjust your XI accordingly . -
Capoue for Long.
-
-
Show of hands, who is making zero transfers this week, who one, who two etc?
-
0 most likely
-
Zero, there is not much to make moves on, at this stage.
-
A big fat zero from me
-
I'm also thinking zero so this is great to hear!
-
I made 1 transfer! 😀
-
Nooooo! Who?
-
Coleman > Williams
-
Daredevil 😉
-
-
-
-
Tadic>Coutinho already done
-
Dangerous.
-
This early makes sense.
-
Maybe. You should see Tadic's numbers though, would not want to get rid!
-
-
-
Tadic is almost undroppable with where/how he is going to play.
-
-
I'm doing 4 transfers
-
0 atm. Just wondering whether its worth saving it when I'm likely to WC in GW3
-
None for me
-
-
Can Ayew still fall despite being injured? Or is he price locked now?
Wondering whether its wise to wait until friday and make a double move or if I should pull the trigger on Ayew->Barkley asap.-
He can still fall, it just takes a larger number of sales
-
-
o/
-
😕
-
-
😉
-
-
-
-
Phillips or Ramirez?
Both have good fixtures but I think Ramirez poses more attacking and creative threat-
Both are great choices. I prefer Ramirez. I think Boro just edge WBA fixture wise.
-
-
Kane averages 4 shots on target vs palace
https://twitter.com/FFPundits/status/766026348976570369-
But the important question, was Dembele playing 😉
-
Time to risk it all and captain Kane! 🙂
-
Im in the same dilemna
Premium striker, good home fixture, sort of have to 😆
But then, Kun....
-
-
O'Captain my captain.
-
-
Anybreliable sites for drops?ayew gonna drop tonight?x
-
-
He won't fall tonight 🙂
-
The two most reliable sites have him dropping either tonight or tomorrow night (sorry don't know if I can link them).
-
Cheers guys.how quick has he been dropping?x
-
