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.
lol throwing away goings for nothing.
gabbi looked good.
mounie was one game.
I hate gabbi. Should never have had him I the first place.
fair enough i dont have him.
just you seem very jerky. u wont end up in the tip 1million
I'm not jerky at all.Played this for years and have never finished outside 50 k.
it's better to fix things early than keep going and expect things to improve when they probably won't.
could it have worked with -4? hopefully you get those points back.
Don't think so. Wanted mane so needed 3 transfers. It'll work out in the long run. Mounie looks the real deal and Brunt not been classed as a defender doesn't bother me. I think he can have a big season.
You want my advice?
You shouldn't have started with them.
Yeah ,know that now. Anyway it's only a game.
Was just joking.

Nice one.
Mane and a 4.5 mid would have sufficed, I did exactly the same with fab and zaha
Foster
Alonso Stephens Jones
Alli KDB Pogba Zaha
Firmino Lukaku Gabbi
Elliot, TC, TAA, Rosenoir
1) Stay put, play TAA & have 2 FT next week with more info
2) Get out Zaha for Atsu/Mooy/?
3) tips appreciated!
MOOY
not much you can do this week.
Zaha > Ramsey ?
Willian
I think I'll save my transfer for 2 FT next week with more info
For next 10 fixtures I'd be looking to get SOT Tadic/Redmond or Ward-Prowse depending on your future plans for funds. All played well without scoring much. 4 shots each, Tadic better crossing, Redmond better all-round involvement, Ward-Prowse better price. Thought Atsu (better all-round play) and Mooy (good crossing) both played well and have decent next 4 or 5 fixtures - the choice is yours.
GTG? or any suggestions?
DDG
Kolasinac Danillo Dawson Yoshida
KDB Salah Mkhitaryan Milivojevic
Kane Lukaku
Elliot Quanar Carroll Long
Transfers, ITB?
No any move would be a hit... thinking Danillo ok until next week...
Somebody posted a quote on here the other day about Ramsey, from Wenger, stating that the only reason he didn't start against Leicester was because of his history of injuries at the start of the season and not wanting to risk him.
Does anybody have a source for that? Can't seem to find it.
If he said that it is total rubbish.
he didn't start because he was returning from injury..... he will start saturday...... he's tempting but for me his injury prowess is main reason not to.
Foster
Kolasinac Cedric Trent AA
Alli Salah _____ _____
Lukaku Morata ______
Elliot, Carroll, Hegazi, Mbemba
A) D Silva, Lacazette, Loftus-Cheek
B) De Bruyne, Ramsey, Mounie
Or any other suggestions of how to improve the team as yes I've had to use my WC because I did 2 transfers very early and then got 2 injuries... sh*t happens.
might as well start a GW2 team mate.
This
Got 72 so not too fussed. Got most necessary transfers planned for next 15-16 weeks which means I shouldn't take hits. Just need a good base which is why I'm working out which of these is better. I'm thinking B but we shall see. Even if I used my WC in week 5-7 like I'd originally planned I don't think it'd look much different to this.
If you're on a WC I would prbl go A but with Eriksen instead of Alli. I assume you know that TAA risks being back on the bench after GW3?
Yeah I realise don't worry. Will rotate him out if Clyne comes back in, I'm a Liverpool fan so I'll be keeping a close eye on it. Plus I have Hegazi anyway to rotate in if needed.
Don't like this for a WC team.
TAA and Hegazi are not nailed.
I would have Kane as well in a WC team.
Just not fussed at all about Kane. I'll have a spurs player but it'll always be Alli or Eriksen, think Kane is way too expensive in my opinion.
B
Play Fraser (WAT) or TAA (CRY) this week?
Fraser. Don't trust Pool to keep cleanies
TAA
Thanks
Zaha to Ramsey seems very popular around here.. how is he only 2.4% ownership, and are we convinced he nails down a starting role?
pefer tadic
I've already got Cedric, Bertie and JWP
Willian
Got Willian too
No, but seems prbl that Wenger held him back first game as an precaution. Elneny is not good enough imho. Question is also if he can produce points from the double pivot
Seems like he loves to get forward and fire off a shot.. selfishness translates to FPL points
Will Monreal be dropped given the likely return of Mustafi and Merti?
50/50%
No . Monreal always plays.
Heaton/Elliot
Davies/Yoshi/Hegazi/Ward/Smith
Alli/Mihki/Sala/Poggles/RLC
Firmino/Vardy/Lukaku
all good?
very nice...
TAA at 4.5M is one to watch now. Clyne could easily lose his place.
wow!
right
Hahahaha no
don't think so
defensively clyne is much better that's why i don't think TAA would be nailed
Yeah, we need to see what Klopp does.
No need to rush and bring him in. Next 3 fixtures aren't great anyways.
If he does become available at 4.5M his attacking threat for that price could be a bargain.
Clyne could play LB potentially. Looks like Milner is CM this season.
Absolutely, Liverpool fans have been calling for this for a long time now
De Gea
Dawson Cedric Monreal
Salah KDB Willian Ritchie
Kane Lukaku Mounie
Myhill Carroll Mee Rosenior
Save transfer or swap Monreal for someone?
Thank you
save
Pick 2 (10mil to spend):
- Otamendi
- Stones
- Ake
- Daniels
- Hegazi
- Jones
daniels
Hegazi
- Add TAA as well!
I believe I'm g2g, however I'm keen on opinions from the mass.
Foster
Danilo, Cedric, TAA
Mkhi,Alli,Pogba,Willian
Kane, Lukaku, Mounie
Elliot,Mariappa,Carroll,Rangel
FT:0
Current team:
DDG
Kompany Davies Stephens
Miki KDB Phillips Atsu
Kane Jesus Firmino
1m ITB
Can't afford Kaku now next week due to price rise.
Is wildcarding essential GW 1?
Never thought I'd see someone ask 'Is wildcarding essential GW1?'.
ALLO MARK SON
IS EHHHHHCTIVATING BENCH BOOST ESSENTIAL?
Can I have feed back on my team please
Absolutely. Leave it here.
It's missing
What team?
GK - Foster
DEF - Alonso, valencia, bertrand
MID - salah kdb eriksen carroll zaha (best alternative?)
FWD - Lukaku, firmino
Vokes is essential imo, id swap kane for vokes.
Regards,
Mark
Ideal midfield? (Not what I have)
Alli, Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi
In GW1? Sure.
There is nothing ideal in fantasy world .
Brunt is essential in my opinion.
What is better at this stage of the season:
1. Take -8 hit
2. Use WC
Please also tell why... it'll help a newbie 🙂
-8 is not bad at all
I took a minus 8. Save wildcard.It's too early.
8 points this early is huge...
Wild card is the way, never these big hits, otherwise you'll forever be chasing in your mini leagues.
If you've seen the template, go with your gut and wild card, just make sure you've balanced the team well and have got a fully decent bench to cover any injuries and you should be solid.
I'll just through it out there, the early template is looking like Mounie and Lukaku are must haves, Chicarito looks a must have with the fixtures coming up.
Midfield Alli and Son look like big hitters, Salah is a big hitter, Pogba, Knockheart or Richie from Brighton and Newcastle, both very good fixtures, stars for their teams and cheap.
Stay away from Xhaka! don't be fooled by the 10 points, he's rotten.
Defence, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Zanka from Huddersfield, Davies now, Trippier later. Walker (MUST HAVE) he's a right winger classed as a defender, incredible potential for City. Bailly at Utd, gold. Stephens are Saints, GOLD.
Goalies, Eliot the obvious 4.0, Foster, Hart decent 4.5s, go cheap, don't go over 4.5 for the keeper.
This is one very strong template.
Hahahahahahahahaha
-8
No/little reliable form to base wildcard off
Ramsey bandwagon starts away at stoke, wonder if ryan shawcross has noticed......
oh snap
But can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
Thoughts on if Danilo will play this week?
Jones nailed on?
I've only gone and got Tadic in again.
Can you all relentlessly abuse me please so that I don't actually get my hopes up like I have done every time I got him in the past.
BAD
How would that help you?
It's the expectation that gets you
Your expectations don't affect the points you get.
Done the same with gabbi. Got him out last night.Southampton don't do goals.
You stinking donkey licking loser no hopes scumbag with a stupid hat.
Southampton are going to hammer someone at some point. It's law of averages that eventually some of them shots are gonna hit the back of the net. It's just a question of when, not if, that they're gonna be amongst the goals again.
Wow - 3 ppm bet you're exited? 😉
Can I have feed back on my team please
Yes
As above, you haven't posted your team
Are you ok?
Do you need us to call someone?
10/10
Of course, looks lovely.
It's very shy
Shit team. Most of the players never show up
worst team I've ever seen, including yours
Alonso + RLC > 4.5 + Ramsey for -4?
I regret starting 433, need to dump a defender sooner or later..
Its only been a week. Alonso doesn't get a clean sheet or attacking points in the first week and you want to transfer him out? Have a little faith
Bench one:
A) Cédric (WHU)
B) Mee (WBA)
C) Dawson (bur)
D) Davies (CHE)
Anyone tripling up on man united? Ive gone double at the back, DDG + Jones, with Rom up top, cant ignore their fixtures
Would but being a Liverpool fan it kills me even have Lukaku in the team, but would love De Gea and Jones.
Best website for stats onn players?
Did Gabbi & Zaha to Mounie & Mkhi for -4 before price rises. Gabbi playing only 68 minutes also didn't bode well with me. Hope it doesn't bite me.
To go alongside Alli, Mkhitaryan, Salah....would you go:
A) KdB Carroll (bench)
B) Eriksen Carroll (bench)
C) Son and Ramsey (selection headache)
Nice 1

Are Rangel and Solanke nailed. I'm thinking of captaining one of them this week?
Might only get 89 mins, so a bit risky. Captain someone like Elneny to be safe.
🙂
?? Neither are nailed!
Word on street is Firmino snapped his spine in the changing room trying to show his teammates how to dab but managed to slip on bar of soap in shower.
Kyle Naughton also rumoured to be moving this week to Real Madrid...
Can't decide who to captain
Rangel is nailed to the bench
6 years, 10 months agoI know it was probably a bit rash but I bit the bullet last night and took a minus 8 to get rid of gabbi fab and zaha . Went for Mounie Mane and Brunt .Nothing to lose at this stage of the season .
