The Big Numbers – Gameweek 1

Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.

Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.

    Hmmmm....

    Use my FT to do Kane -> Firmino for a week or do Jrod -> Moonie? Or save?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Save

    2. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely save.

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      If they are your only 2 concerns definitely save

      Why in the name of God do you want rid of Kane?

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I think i prefer Firmino vs CP instead of Kane vs Chelsea....

      2. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Just for this GW...

      Did you read about how close JRod and Kane came to a brace a piece?

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        No member...but thanks for the info! Will keep FT in my pocket.

    My side looks so much better with an Arsenal player in there. Ramsey, you Welsh wizard, welcome to the squad

    1. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Are we sure he's nailed?

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      would have waited for the pressers personally

      1. Samwise the Brave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. I like the look of Rambo but no point if he's not a starter

      2. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        When is it? And would Wenger actually say if Ramsey is starting?

      3. Benster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Likewise he's on my list for GW4 WC

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Cannot risk dropping 0.1 as I'll be priced out. I think he'll start. He nits Arsenal together and Wenger loves him

  3. how now brown cow

    Thoughts on albrighton?

    Leicester fixtures suddenly Don't look too bad with pool and Chelsea home games being the hard ones....

    1. S9PKE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 10 months ago

      I wasn't looking at him today.... always seems to be in the points

  4. _Ninja_

    Want to get Mkhitaryan in for Zaha, best enabler from these 2?

    A. Kompany -> Jones?

  7. Johqvist
    • 8 Years

    Mooy, Ince, Ritchie or Atsu? (or another mid max 6.5m who does not play for Saints).

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ritchie out of them, set pieces

      1. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Mooy on set pieces and pens too isn't he?

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years

  8. It’s a Knockaert
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I don't want to take a hit so (thinking about fixtures) what order would you rank the changes?

    Pogba-Miki
    KdB-Mane
    Ake-Davies

    1. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't do any of these this week

      1. It’s a Knockaert
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Why not?

        1. Pooodle
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          No point changing a team mate for another at this stage, and KDB and Ake have good fixtures

          1. It’s a Knockaert
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Fair points about Ake and KdB (who didn't really convince me) but miki looked more dangerous

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't do any of those this week.

      1. It’s a Knockaert
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Seriously?

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'd do A if forced to choose 1.

    3. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'd hold. Those players dont warrant a transfer advantage over next fixtures

      1. It’s a Knockaert
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Miki surely is a better option

        1. Farke in hell
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          You are getting too excited after one game

          1. It’s a Knockaert
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Watching the game, mkhitaryan looked a lot more dangerous

    4. Fpldonny
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hold young warrior

    5. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking about fixtures has to be Ake-Davies but not until next week...

      Mane has some bad fixtures coming up and Pogba/Miki is like for like...

  9. jernej93
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I am trying to comfort myself with this theory: I was very close on KDB->Miki but decided not to double up on United attack as Mourinho is keen to "close the show" when 1 goal up. On the other hand I can't have both Eriksen and Miki without KDB, so I decided to give KDB another week and if he doesn't perform I am doing straight swap for Eriksen.

    What do you guys think? Or should I just go with Miki and extra 2.0M 😀 ? I will probably never captain KDB as I have Jesus upfront for City cover ... that's also another fact for not having 10M midfielder if you are not captaining him, right? 🙂

    1. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I have Lukaku upfront for United cover but no Spurs cover ATM 🙂

    2. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'd sit tight for this week and see how KDB does.

      1. jernej93
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        My only concern is Miki going up tonight 🙂 I will probably lack 0.1 to buy some player this early in the season if I decide to do transfer after this GW

        1. Pooodle
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          KDB is more expensive than him anyway so doesn't matter

  10. Farke in hell
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    silva or Kdb?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I have KDB and giving him another week. If he's as deep as he was last game and Silva is as far forward il be switching them.

  11. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How much of pool's defence problems is the individual defenders and how much is the lack of a decent defensive mid/the system?

    Moreno and Lovren seem pretty inept but I don't think they are helped by what's in front of them.

    1. DarPaC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      agree with this.....Moreno isn't getting any cover from Wijnaldum or Mane and neither Hendo or Can are dropping back when the wing backs go forward.
      regardless of the reason though I can still see LFC leaking goals for some time so i'm steering clear of defenders

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      The way they are set up (by the manager, defensive coaches) to deal with set plays is awful. Zonal marking doesn't work in the PL.
      in open play, it's the individual errors, lack of concentration by certain players is proving costly.

  12. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best option for Zaha and Gabbiadini replacements?

    A) Mooy and Firmino

    B) Mkhi and Mounie (no Liverpool cover, also have Lukaku)

    1. cuervos
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Fpldonny
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino and ritchie. I know hudds won 3 nil but i still think they shall finish bottom this season, cant see good overall returns from any of their playerz

  13. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Who should I bench? Two of:
    Lowe
    Dann
    TAA
    Atsu
    Carroll

    Won't play 5 at the back, so preferably at least one of the DEF and one of the MID

    1. Dasher0303
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Dann and carroll

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Ta 🙂

  14. Gilderoy Knockaert
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How well did Liverpool perform this evening? Anyone look particularly lively?

    1. Kloppster
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lovren and Hendo where terrible, everyone else from meh to ok. Mane and TAA closest to being "lively", but not quite.

  15. Marc
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Willian + Zaha --> Mkhi + Mooy??

    1. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Would keep Willian

      1. Marc
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Need cash to do Zaha --> Mkhi

  16. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Bank empty.
    Zaha to Ramsey only sensible move I guess??
    Stats are good for a guy who only played 23 mins v Leicester??

    Don't wanna be doing a transfer but afraid of a price drop and he's surely out for a while ??

    1. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah. Do it. Better to be safe than sorry.

      1. Philip Jones's Diary
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Mata at 7 start for United

  17. Zedd
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Contemplating Willian+Gabbi to Mhki+Mounie

    Is it worth it?

    1. Marc
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking similar: Willian + Zaha --> Mkhi + Mooy

    2. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'd keep Willian

  18. S9PKE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is it looking like Kane and Zaha price drop tonight?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Neither

    2. Zareos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No, Zaha will survive another night I think.

    3. Net Gains
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No to both and Kane btw is absolutely nowhere near a drop

      1. S9PKE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks guys, just checked Fiso and the % were high and the bright red scared me 🙁

        1. Net Gains
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Kane won't even drop this week

    4. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A Kane price drop over a single week seems crazy to me...

  19. Zareos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So, with Zaha potentially out, I have three options, which would you go for?

    A. Zaha to Ramsey,
    B. Zaha to Ince/Mooy (bank 1/1.5m), or
    C. Zaha and Lacazette to Ince/Mooy and Lukaku.

  20. Fantasy Gold
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Kdb and Zaha > Salah and Mhki for -4.

    How's it look?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Desperate:)

    2. Neville& Sons
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I was thinking the same... but not sure if I want to take a hit this early.

  21. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Opted for Kane, KDB, Mane and Yoshida over Aguero, Alli, Salah and Bertrand.

    Cant bare to log in and it's only gameweek 2!

    1. Gilderoy Knockaert
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Still better than Jesus, Fabregas, Zaha and Cahill. I imagine some poor souls would have had them.

  22. DarPaC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    anyone know why Cedric's forecasted points for GW2 is showing as zero on the Rate My Team section? FPL isn't showing him as flagged, banned or injured

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mooy or Fraser to rotate with Carrol?

  24. Scout
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    -4 points to swap Hernandez for vardy. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on defoe ?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Give Chicarito another week, Utd bossed West Ham, might have more joy next match...

      1. Scout
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Against Southampton though. Southampton keep a lot of clean sheets

      2. Scout
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy against Brighton aswell?

    2. TOPDAWG
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Obviously vardy going to hit big at home.

  25. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Lowe or TAA?

  26. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    DDG (Elliot)
    Kolasinac Danillo Dawson Yoshida (Long)
    KDB Salah Mkhitaryan Milivojevic (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku (Quanar)

    Thoughts on this lot? Captain Salah or Lukaku?

    1. Scout
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku

  27. Honeyman07 42
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha and Redmond to Mkh and jwp for -4?

  28. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Jesus to Lukaku before the price rise and I can no longer afford?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yes Lukaku's form, fixtures & ownership make him essential IMO.

      1. Zero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

      • 12 Years

      They'll score similarly I've over the season. I'd stick if you unless you have no utd cover

  29. UnitednationsXI

    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Forster --- Elliot
    Valencia Bertrand Dawson -- Mee
    Kdb Willian zaha Ritchie -- Carroll
    Kane Kaku gabbi

    A: zaha >> Ramsey
    B: zaha + gabbi >> mkhi + mounie (-4)
    C: zaha + gabbi >> RLC + firmino (-4)
