J0E 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.
Pieters to be dropped ?
“I thought we were excellent, the back four with Shay [Given] behind them were in control with whatever they threw at us and in the end our extra quality clearly took the game away from them.

dodged a bullet there if it's true
It was Stevenage
I didn't want to give the impression it was fact . I am a bit worried Friend is a doubt and Kone is not going to play . I might need him .
No
Has Janmaat been added yet?
No
He's hoing to be 5 isn't he?
Any idea who'll drop out? Amrabat?
I assume he will be 5 because Watford don't have a 5m defender .
planning on getting him? Wat's list of defenders is loooong.
But playing a 5
Janmaat as a wing back is too nice
He's going to be 100% a starter, he's been one of the best right backs in the PL. Don't understand why better/bigger teams haven't signed him.
Because he can't defend imo
Maicon was a bad defender too but then he met Mancini and Mourinho and he was taught to defend. Janmaat can learn how to defend but his attacking skills cannot be taught.
Perhaps so but that's why the bigger clubs will avoid.
Well, Inter wanted him apparently but he was too pricey between price tag and salary.
No rush next 3 games are Arsenal West ham man u
A) Firmino > Coutinho
or
B) Hold
B
Chances of Rob Holding or Mason Holgate starting the next couple?
50%
Or Holebas?
Eh? Awful fixtures
Hol
I'll get my coat
I feel ashamed
Gota have Everton. Which is the better option
A. Bolasie
B. Mirallas
B. Bolasie still needs to settle, Mirallas proven some form already
How longs a piece of string? coin flip territory
Mirallas.
Seeing that Firmino is close to dropping, it may be time to move him on, but who for?
A) Townsend
B) Sterling (already have Aguero)
C) Antonio
D) Pogba
E) Coutinho
F) Any other suggestion
Already have Barkley and Redmond!
b or d
B or Lamela if you want
Any Boro fan see how Fischer played tonight? Curious
Poor game. Although same could be said of most of the team
Really poor but I thought he was poor in pre-season too. I think he'll be restricted to cameos at the moment and with Boro desperately needing some midfield quality (which I'm hoping the club will pursue after tonight) he could drop further down the list. I also struggle to see how he fits if he can't do the defensive work.
Friend and Fabio came off injured and Ayala and Clayton had slight knocks.
Does anyone know why Friend was subbed off early. Was it precautionary, or did he get injured?
Phone a friend
He asked the audience ?
Muscle injury
Muscle Injury?
He's out this weekend if it is then
Wait for press conference I guess
Going on holiday tomorrow morning, no time for presser. Might gamble on Evans...
Autosub works.
Trouble is I have Evans and Koné off with their respective 'injuries'. Want to bring Lukaku in, but now may bring in Williams instead.
Injured 🙠No news on how bad as yet.
Went off off injured..hurt his calf
copped Payets price drop yesterday now looks like Erkisen going to drop. Is it worth a hit to bring in Barkley?
most likely going with GW3 WC anyway...
Also how essential is having Man Utd attack and/or defence with their upcoming schedule?
cheers
I would do yeah, look solid.
Any news on Firmino dropping? Ship him or keep till weekend?
There are other good options this week but Spurs haven't been great. You just never know which liv player gets the points each week
Defoe not even on the bench for Sunderland tonight. Any issue?
nah It the league cup, rest and rotation is standard
Prem teams not taking this cup seriously is an issue
Coming out with no injuries from this is a trophy imo
Last season Özil went on his streak and got essential pretty late on, didn't he? I think I want to see more of his fitness and the form of Arsenal before I invest. Anyone with me?
He started firing straight away from memory. Sanchez took ages
Alright, my memory may have mixed them up.
Streaking and firing all at the same time. Kinky
He was very mediocre in the first 7 weeks, so I sold him for -4. Then he went on a rampage.
Didn't start scoring until after the first international break when I transferred him out of my team...
So Firmino dropping...damn casuals...
Best replacement?
A Barkley (fixtures)
B Pogba (why not?)
C Coutinhon
D ?
Keep him, a lot of points are much better than a 0.1 loss in value.
same advice for eriksen or dump before price drop for barkley?
Eriksen different situation i'm afraid. Doesn't look sharp for now but if he's your only Spurs asset i would keep him at least one more GW. He's got great fixtures coming up.
cheers. i'm likely to use WC next week anyway, just not sure if worth the hit to avoid price drop
sorry to hijack your post HFB!
B
Keep for another gw.save your transfer.
It appears that Boufal to Southampton is practically a done deal; Lille have accepted the £17-20M bid from the Saints.
Bad news for Tadic and Long i'm afraid.
Striker?
Advanced midfielder, plays on the right or as a 10.
Winger
Why those two and not Redmond? Haven't heard of this player.
I would have thought Redmond would be far more at risk than Tadic
Seems like Puel is infatuated with Redmond and Boufal is a winger/n.10. I'm sure Tadic is 100% nailed on but if Puel decides to play with only one striker then Long might lose his place. And Tadic might lose some points too.
Cheers, will be good to monitor.
He has build his shape around Tadic as a 10 since pre season. He won't ditch after 2 games.
Anyone else going without Ibra for now? I have Martial so am holding out at the moment.
I'm not getting him but not been impressed with Martial. Get Pogba 😉
No Ibra for me.
I've got Ibra but tempted to trade out if I use my wc next week. Not happy with rest of the team
Is Gray ----> Benteke worth a FT?
No brainer
If it looks like Gray is not going to play then definitely yes.
Nope
Why not?
He's played 45 mins in the last 3 months. Neither form nor fitness, plus Palace are pants
But considering Gray has chelsea away and might not even play. Surely he must go, and with Palaces fixtures is he not worth the gamble in your opinion?
Ignore him. Palace and Benteke are made for each other
Utter rollocks
Nope, it's the truth mate, do you ever watch football?
The point is it's your opinion, which it seems you can't handle being challenged.
Well it's clearly a better informed opinion than yours and 'utter rollocks' is hardly a reply from someone who can handle his opinion being challenged. Don't buy him, simple
Gray will play. The hearing is after the game and he was in the efl squad. Chelsea are conceding too.
I bet you own him within the next two weeks
I'm going to say no for now. Didn't play a competitive game for a while, might give him some time to settle.
But... but... Bournemouth at home ðŸ™
Well Gray has Hull next I believe, and Chelsea wasn't great against Watford. Could do with a cheap penalty from him 😀 But maybe we'll hear some more about Gray's punishment before the game. If he's out for 2 or more games, it's a no brainer indeed.
Remy at West Ham 6.4 ..... yes please
Has he kicked a ball in the last 6 months?
if friend does not recover in time for weekend do you think i should play amat/collins or go AOA chip which will bring capoue on
not liking any of those options to be honest
Isn't cap injured too?
No
Great
not according to fpl might just take my chance with amat
*according to Watford
No yellow flag on FPL now
Is there any point making these articles "Members only" now? These stats are being used in all the FPL Twitter articles anyway.
Assuming they need to for paying members this season. Next season not so sure there will be many people paying tbh
Surely this won't survive without paying members
Ha ha, yeah. The FPL articles are more in depth anyway and for the key players we should be looking at.
FPL did a great write up of the League Cup matches as well.
What's all the love for Barkley? Is he playing off the striker? Seen a lot of posts saying to get him in
Good form, Everton playing better under Koeman.
Is getting holding on WC too big a gamble prior to window closing
hmm i wonder what the sunderland/ Hull rotation is like
just avoid Sunderland completely and play the Hull player every week
Doesnt really matter as you are rotating the 2 teams who are most likely to be relegated.
1.4itb .....1ft..
Good to go with this for weekend?
Happy to keep firmino...
Amat will come in should friend be injured
Foster (jaku)
Valencia stones friend (amat kone)
Hazard firmino lamela ramirez (capoue)
Kun ibra gray
Thanks
Watch Boro's presser. Friend got a knock tonight. Otherwise it looks good!
Gtg, who's your captain ?
Capt will be kun....
Amat will play if friend injured...
Then after int break benteke for gray if grey suspended....and one additional transfer
That is the plan at least....
Firmino to Ozil or Sterling?
Tadic to Redmond or Bolasie?
Ozil & Redmond
am considering bolasie atm and also got redmond.
Would you buy Redmond if you didn't have him?
Worth a 1 week punt at least.
Needs to be for 3 at least.
Swansea at home looks good. Need to see if they buy other players.
This is why I avoided. No way I thought they'd go with Long/Redmond long term. Might have to do Firmino âž¡ Redmond tonight now.
No cos I've got Tadic. But if not yeah probs
It's hard to say, really depends on transfer priority. For example if I didn't own Ibra I'd feel more inclined to get him than try to get Redmond
Would you want him though?
The lad bouffal may jeopardise his place if saints sign him...
Really? Flipping heck ðŸ™
He plays on right or no.10. Tadic but probably Long will be dropped IMO.
Maybe a change in formation with Redmond not being Oop?
Worth noting Boufal is currently injured, so even if Saints sign him he's unlikely to come into the side immediately - may be up to a month before he is fully match fit. Even then it may be Long he replaces, but yes, Redmond will ultimately become a rotation risk at some point, just not for a little while yet.
Ok nice one, thanks for that, makes me feel better about it.
Can't hurt to try an alternative to Tadic.
However, fixtures aren't as great as others in the same bracket. Bolasie.
Thanks all
Are City actually trying to get rid of Hart to get Claudio Bravo? Atleast ter-Stegen made sense, can't wrap my head around it!
Me neither.
Pretty gutted, but Pep isn't daft. Must be an underlining reason somewhere.
Hart is wildly overrated imo
I'd say he's vastly under rated.
THIS
You must be British.
So is Claudio Bravo, Barca make every keeper look good, just see Valdes
Have you watched much of Bravo throughout his career? He's consistently been one of La Liga's best GK's for quite some time now.
He's been a top GK since his time at Sociedad & at the WC for Chile, your statement couldn't be more dismissive tbh.
Massively overrated.
You are avin a giraffe as they say.
Cuz he can pass a ball. Bravo isn't getting any younger though
Claudio Bravo is an underrated GK and he can at least play with the ball between his feet. Hart sometimes can barely play with the football between his hands. Still a good GK, though, just doesn't fit Pep's style.
Would you drop Ibra for Rooney if it would really improve the rest of your squad? Considering a WC but with Kun&Ibra there's F*** all else you can do to improve the squad.
no
Try harder!
The problem is by having those 2 your team becomes pretty template. I am tempted to part with Ibra for gw3 wc but would get lukaku over Rooney for the same price. Kun and Ibra rotate well esp for captain choice but it does sacrifice the rest of your team
Foster/Jaku
Shaw/McAuley/Friend/Pieters/Francis
Haz/Firmino/Tadic/Deulofeu/Capoue
Kun/Ibra/Gray
1FT nothing itb
Thinking of shipping deulofeu because hes not nailed, dont mind firmino dropping, who to get in for deulofeu?
Ramirez
Redmond or Townsend both probably the best bets, or maybe Bolasie if he's nailed which some people seem to think he is
Firmino > Barkley (-4) yay or nay?
Definitely not.
Not for a hit.
Lots of owners worried about a double price drop will try to talk you out of it 😉
What do you personally think WR? I'm talking strictly points.
If Firmino blanks again vs Spurs, I'm fairly certain he will drop again over the International break.
Could go either way this week tbf but I'd prefer Barkley long term as long as he is playing in the hole
I'm considering Cout to Barkley -4
No for a hit
Firmino and Alli out Hazard & Bolasie in for free?
I'd try someone else other than Bolasie
Keep Firmino or take a hit and move to Barkley?
Keep and wait til next week to do it for free.
