We delve into the Gameweek 2 data this Wednesday evening in the first members article of the week. Man United and Sunderland’s new midfielders impress on their first starts, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane’s contrasting fortunes arrive under analysis, whilst Michail Antonio thrives on his return to the Hammers’ flank.

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Morgan Evans Stones (Friend Pieters)
    Tadic Mahrez Hazard Ramirez (Capoue)
    Aguero Zlatan Gray

    Having Friend and Evans potentially out is a worry but I have 2 FT so do I -

    A) Friend and Evans > Amat and £5m DF (thinking Williams)
    B) Friend > Souare and keep a FT
    C) play AOA and make no transfers?

    1. samaael
      10 years, 1 month ago

      just play Pieters and use 1 FT to replace Friend

    2. JoJoRed
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Evans may play .. wait till Friday then decide

    4. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you have 2FT then make at least one!

      I haven't looked at 4.5 options but there must be better than souare? Would say McAuley but he rose

      1. Get in ma Dembele
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think Souare is a good route into palace defence with plum fixtures and now the ability to cross into bentekkers

  2. samaael
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Stones/Shaw/Friend
    Hazard/Lamela/Redmond/Mahrez
    Ibra/Aguero/Gray

    Jaku/Capoue/Wollscheid/Amat

    Already used 1 transfter on bringing in Amat

    1FT left. 0ITB

    If Friend is ruled out. Thinking of bringing in Palace/Bournemouth defender in for Wollscheid.

    1. Test Eagles
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Souare likely

      1. samaael
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What about Targett?

        1. Hy liverpool
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Not nailed and their fixtures aren't that good ... souare or holding ( if they don't sign another defender) are better

          1. samaael
            10 years, 1 month ago

            thanks mate. Southampton have been very good defensively. Very low xG

  3. Hy liverpool
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A. Gray→Benteke or Rondon
    Or
    B. Save ft

    1. samaael
      10 years, 1 month ago

      b

      1. Hy liverpool
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If tekkers or rondon ??? Tekkers eh!

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dont fall for the Rondon trap. I know the stats are good but West Brom hate goals

      1. Hy liverpool
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haha ... stats got me thinking yeah .
        Would you go tekkers this early??

        1. Mahesh_Kumar
          10 years, 1 month ago

          No chance. He hasnt played for like a year. Give him 2 or 3 full 90

  4. samaael
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Targett starting because Bertrand is injured? Chances of Targett playing this weekend?

    1. mccormibar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I own Targett and awaiting news. Bertrand was due to recover from injury this week but hasn't had any minutes yet so hopefully Targett keeps his place for this weekend.

      If you own him keep, if not then I'd look elsewhere.

      1. samaael
        10 years, 1 month ago

        interesting. Thanks mate. Still thinking of bringing him in just for this week

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He'll definitely start this week. There's not even been a hint that Bertrand is back in training yet, let alone match fit having not played at all in preseason.

          1. Hy liverpool
            10 years, 1 month ago

            ▼▼ a hint

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bertrand back in trainin

  5. Carlton_Goal
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard & Sterling or Payet & Ozil

    1. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Try to fit Hazard and one of payet/ozil !!

    2. Musicholic
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haz & Ster

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard and Payet, otherwise Haz and Sterling for me

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I ve gone Hazard and Giroud

    5. Carlton_Goal
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ok, I've already used my WC earlier this week, just put Amat in for a 4.5 defender so now the decision has become

      Hazard/Payet/Rondon/4.5def
      Hazard/Sterling/Rondon/Williams (1.3ITB)
      Hazard/Payet/Long/

      1. Carlton_Goal
        10 years, 1 month ago

        *Last one is meant to say Hazard/Payet/Long/Williams

  6. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Deulofeu?

    A. Bolasie
    B. Townsend
    C. Other (Please suggest)

    I have 2 FT but plan on keeping 1 to have 2FT after international break.

    Also.
    1. Keep Gray,
    2. Use the second transfer to get someone else?

    Thanks

    1. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted something crazy deu→Snodgrass and gray→ Benteke .... anyway if you dont wanna tekkers go with b and try to get barks/lukaku next week

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke is in my thinking but I thought it might be a lot clearer after international break would of done ramirez and benteke. Looks like townsend and then evaluate the transfers after though i will keep an eye on the press conference for palace

    2. xtremesid
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C. Redmond if you don't have already. Else
      B.Townsend

      1. Wait until break

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I do have redmond and cheers

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. & I'm considering Bojan, subject to form and whether Deu/Gray continue starting.

    4. fordy049
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Townsend

  7. Hahvyq
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Valdes
    Bailly/Alderweireld/Morgan
    Boyd/Redmond/Lamele/Hazard
    Negredo/Zlatan/Kun

    Subs:Valdes,Amat,Fletcher,Sagna

    My line-up for gameweek 3,is it ok?

  8. xtremesid
    10 years, 1 month ago

    GTG?
    DDG
    Valencia-VVD-Friend-Evans
    Hazard-Barkley-Tadic
    Aguero(C)-Ibra-Gray

    Heaton-Fletcher-Routledge-Amat

    ITB 0.1
    FT 0
    Did Alli>Barkley and Vardy>Ibra

    1. FPLHaggis
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade DDG (but keep Valencia) and upgrade Routledge then your GTG

      1. xtremesid
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. Who is worth the hit ? Any change now is now -4.

  9. Jayben23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    firmino or coutinho?

    1. BobbyV
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

    2. Polo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho

    3. Mahesh_Kumar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho. Boy loves to have a go at goal

    4. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane
      I have coutinho btw

  10. Musicholic
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you guys think of Chamberlain? How is he likely to do in future?

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fuggedabouthim

  11. Mahesh_Kumar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would you prefer Heaton or Foster for the whole season?

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Foster for me though there is a case for heaton

    2. Eze Really?
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Foster more team reliable. Heaton for saves.

    3. Polo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Foster

    4. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i have foster so foster, but only because i got him

    5. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Foster

    6. Carlton_Goal
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton, but for next 5 games 100% Foster

    7. Al Bundy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just rotate them like me. Works perfect. Bench Foster for his 10 pointer GW1 and bench Heaton for his 10 pointer GW 2. Works a charm

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Heaton. He is a season keeper

  12. fabiolanzoni
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What would you prefer?

    Shaw + Lamela -> Baines + Pogba
    OR
    deGea + Snodgrass -> Hennessy + Pogba

    Looking at ways to get Pogba in..

  13. Musicholic
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen > ??

    A) Walcott
    B) Cazorla
    C) Chamberlain
    D) Any Other

    Will have 9.3 for the transfer. I am really confused about swapping him out as well.

    Should I just keep him?

    1. fabiolanzoni
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would rather have Eriksen than thoose Arsenal players (conserned about their gametime). Would considering Pogba or just keeping Eriksen.

      1. Musicholic
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I am not sure about Pogba immediately and United has pretty tough fixtures compared to Spurs or Arsenal.

        1. faver
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Its hard to predict tough fixture for team like United or City, even Arsenal or spurs.

  14. lasmons
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Schmeichel - Jaku
    Evans* - Friend* - Stones - Amat - Shaw
    Hazard - Townsend - Tadic - Firmino - Fletcher
    Kun - Gray - Kane

    How to fit in Zlatan? 0.0 ITB, 2 FT.

    Could do Kane + Tadic -> Zlatan + Redmond?
    Other suggestions?

    1. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Might be firmino→Barkley ?

      1. lasmons
        10 years, 1 month ago

        0.1 short... And also think Firmino could come good.

        1. Hy liverpool
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Me too 😀
          Probably tadic then if you need ibra badly ... tadic stats are amazing that's why I'm hesitating

          1. lasmons
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Same here. Could do something as Schmeichel + Stones + Kane -> Heaton + Collins/4.5 + Zlatan for -4, but dont know if its worth it.

    2. Karmanya
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Losing Firmino is your only decent option. Go for Bolasie?

      1. lasmons
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, might just do that. Thanks.

  15. Karmanya
    10 years, 1 month ago

    WC
    Foster (Jak)
    Shaw, Walker, Williams, Holding (Amat)
    Hazard, Bolasie, Ozil (Snoddy, Capoue)
    Kun, Ibra, Negredo

    0.3m in bank
    G2G? Any suggestions?
    had to do barkley to bolasie...

  16. Karmanya
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling + Barkley or Bolasie + Ozil?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can you be sure bolasie & ozil will start and get minutes?

      1. Karmanya
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, that is why I am asking!

        1. MTPockets
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I want a deulofeu replacement. Personally don't see the logic of getting in another rotation risk in bolasie/mirallas).

          I'd like Ozil in but will wait until he's consistent. I'd rather lose one game's points than get one point for 18 mins.

          I don't generally like Liverpool players in my squad; points spread too widely and rotation.

          Find Barkley's form a bit surprising, but it is what it is.

          1. MTPockets
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Not Liverpool is it - early brain fog.

    2. Eze Really?
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Consider it next week Bol and Oz

  18. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Good morning!

    Evans -Friend - Kone rotation worked out well then .. 🙁 Anyone else holding these playing AoA chip this GW? And what's with Kone, will he get his place back?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kone will be either playing for Sunderland or Everton very soon as there is nothing wrong with him. Don't get why so many are selling

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - might just hold until the sitatuion is clear then. Doesn't seem to be dropping in value yet.

      2. Garlana
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hope you're right, he's stinking up my bench

    2. Biancazzurri
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Friend and Kone. Probably AOA'ing this GW, since I also have Amat :-/ Even if the former two were fit, AOA would still be a good idea.

  19. MTPockets
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Two to bench from Valencia, Stones, Williams, McAuley, Amat? (currently last two)

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stones/ Amat

    2. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      for me mcauley over stones. wba have settled defence, they played for some time together. city can lose more than 1 against hammers

      1. MTPockets
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers both. Was thinking about it from perspective of opposition (hammers squad problems). Will have another think.

    3. Hy liverpool
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat and valencia

      1. MTPockets
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with Valencia on away fixture, but in as much for attack/bp potential as clean sheets. Feel I have to start him against Hull.

    4. Biancazzurri
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat and Williams, because ... will he play 90mins?

  20. FrankieTheGent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    a) Hojberg (SUN)
    b) Gray (che)

    Defensive mid over a striker feel wrong but I'm thinking Hoj=3pts / Gray 2pts

    1. Eze Really?
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gray will bully Chelsea. Not impressed with them at all.

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This is not how its work this game. Just play Gray.

    3. A.T
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you think that little of Gray you should sell him

  21. Slyder93
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should I sell Vardy > Costa or Kane? Already have Hazard.

    Or wait till after international break?

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

    2. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      international break seems most reasonable moment to transfer or work around team. injuries may happen, end of transfer window, gw3 may say us something about how settled the teams are. if you dont have aguero/ibra it may hurt anyways, both are on 50% ownership, but i would save with one of those moves

  22. Hotdogs for Tea
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Capoue has scored more goals in two games this season than he has scored in the combined previous 3 seasons
    1 - any explanation ?
    2 - can it continue ?
    3 - will he rival Kun and Ibra for the armband ?

    1. Eze Really?
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Positional change.
      He looks a great cheap mid but that is all.

    2. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. position
      2. yes/no
      3. defo!

    3. Carlton_Goal
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. Been allowed more attacking freedom this year, turns out he is alright at attacking
      2. Potentially, although may be more restricted with Pereyra coming into the team now
      3. Definitely not, I don't think anyone can with their form at the moment

  23. Flynny
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi folks....got 1 ft and 1.4 its but want to save it ideally till after int break....

    Am I ok to play this lot this weekend?

    Is it worth benching amat and playing aoa??

    Foster (jaku)
    Valencia stones friend (amat in friend unfit...kone)
    Hazard firmino lamela ramirez (capoue)
    Kun ibra gray

    Views Appreciated...thanks

  24. Ronnies
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Morning guys,

    What do ye think of my team for gw 3 ..?

    foster - (jaku)

    azpil - valencia - stones - (amat, friend)

    hazard - barkley - townsend - redmond - (capoue)

    aguero - ibra - rondon

    Any feedback appreciated
    Tnks

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing wrong with it (Friend is injured apparently).
      Are you on a wildcard or have any transfers?

      1. Ronnies
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah heard the news on friend.

        I used my free transfer by doing firmino > barkley

        What you do ?

    2. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team. Same as mine except I have Gray over Rondon and Fuchs over Azpi. Midfield *should* score big this week.

  25. Emp
    10 years, 1 month ago

    collins nailed for whu?

    4.0 defender with the most chance of breaking in the team ?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Collins never really nailed but injuries means he plays at the moment

      Love Amat Kingsley

      Check the 'minutes played' on the stats - lots of options

    2. Sjaugen
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Are you asking us to predict injuries?
      *Calls Roy Keane on the bat phone*

      1. Emp
        10 years, 1 month ago

        no thought maybe aguy looked like he could break in , wishful thinking 😛

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

  26. tobz102
    10 years, 1 month ago

    GTG?

    Foster
    Shaw Morgan Evans
    Haz Firm Redmond Lamela
    Kun Ibra Gray

    Jaku Stones Capoue Friends

    0 ITB 2 FT

    1. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing how you have a sweet team and 2FT
      But surely using one of them makes sense?

      Even if its a boring move like ditching friend

  27. UKG
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Friend to who? 4.5 ITB.

    1. Sjaugen
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Season ticker. Sort by defense. Use 5-6 weeks. There are at least 2 guys on the first 3 teams. One should be nailed.

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why already transfer him? How long he will be out?

      1. InSaneMan-e
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Just a game tbh

      2. UKG
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Have 2FT's and nothing else to use them on tbh. Is Holgate set to continue to start for a while until Coleman returns I assume?

  28. Ronnies
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What are peeps doing with friend ?

    sell or keep ?

    1. Jafoole_88
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Selling. Boro defence is mediocre and there are plenty of 4.5m def options elsewhere

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      keep.

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sold for McAuley

  29. FPL Footy Show Pod
    10 years, 1 month ago
