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.

    Preferred pairing?:

    A Ramsey and Eriksen

    B Pogba(or Mikhy) and Silva

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

      Mkhi & Silva

    2. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      If Silva and Mkhitaryan can hold down their places I'd prefer them, but there's more rotation risk there.

      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B with Mikky not sure on Silva tho

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

    Defoe to rashford worth it?

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

      Martial will get game time I think

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      only if Defoe not playing

  3. Daniel Exeter

    Out of interest
    Why does fantasy football fix ask for your FPL ID and password?
    ID I guess makes sense, password is a bit weird?

      So that other people can't view your account???

        Don't think you've understood the question

        Have a look on fantasyfootballfix

    2. Fantasy Football Friend!

      I thought that and noped out.

      You can just use your FPL number down the bottom.

    4. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      it then looks at your current team, even if you've made a transfer/been affected by price changes

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

    Haven't had time to watch the huddersfield match, which looks the best prospect out of Lowe and Zanka?

    1. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Would very much like to know this

  5. Stippen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha needs to go. Struggling to choose between these two alternatives:

    A: Zaha -> Ramsey (free)
    B: Zaha+Danilo -> Alexander-Arnold+Mhiktaryan (-4)

    Danilo seems to be in danger of starting on the bench. Maybe it would be a smart move to sell him as well. What would you do, guys?

    1. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

  6. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha to
    A) Ramsey
    B) Tadic

    Danillo to
    A)Bertrand (already have Stephens)
    B)Kompany or other £6.0mil

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

      Anyone able to help?

    2. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A for me

    3. Supersonic
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tadic
      Bertrand

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

      Im going A)
      But if you aren't planning on Chico consider Arnie

    5. Stippen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Would say Ramsey and Kompany

  7. Mr Wizard
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    What's the chances of Holding retaining his spot?

  8. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Can we have a Zaha Poll on this site so anyone wanting to get rid can see what we all think is the best replacement?

    Just an idea. 🙂

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

      I have got Atsu. Really cheap. Got motm. Goals, assists etc. Great fixtures.

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Atsu is a 30 year old player with 14 goals in his career hardly prolific

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          30 😆

            • 7 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Was looking at the wrong atsu, yet his goal tally is not that impressive

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Atsu is 25...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Atsu is 25 with 28 career goals.

          1. Scholes Balls
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            5 for New, 5 for Vitesse, 2 for Malaga, 2 for Ghana

      There's a hot topic. Each team has different price structures.

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Can we stop having polls on this site so managers have to think for themselves?

      Just an idea. 🙂

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Spot on Ruth. Sheep mentality on here is ridiculous.

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

          Sheep? Which team does he play for? I might get him regardless.

  9. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Foster
    Stones - Ake - Bertrand
    Mane - KDB - GroB - Atsu
    Lukaku - Kane - Firmino

    Elliott - Caroll - Suttner - Long

    Anything worth a hit?

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

      nice like the Gross and Atsu punts

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

        and no

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

    Anyone willing to help with this?

    A..dull zaha to mooy and get some cash in the bank.

    B...danilo and zaha to lowe and mhki -4

    Foster elliot
    Danilo daniels Stephens Suttner long
    Kdb salah zaha Ritchie carroll
    Kane lukaku gabbi

    Any views?

    1. Stippen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'm considering B myself, but are wonderering if Alexander-Arnold could be a better choice than Lowe?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        He will only play the next 2 games max won't he...

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B for me

  11. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Guys
    Thoughts on getting Miki/Pogba and Alexander Arnold to replace Zaha and Danilo (-4)?
    If not best player to replace Zaha

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Similar to me above....

      But Trent is far too short term an option for me....

      Thinking lowe at hudds.

  12. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Evening Guys,

    Had Zaha, could play Atsu and save but decided I dont wanna take the falling price. So I contemplated Arnie or Sthampton midfielders but decided the logic is Ramsey (already have Willian). Now lets hope he is ready and really plays Lampard-esqe like you say.

    P.S Next week it is time for Danilo - most probably plan to get Otamendi who is nailed

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

      Yep good move and yes Danillo > Otamendi or possibly Trippier if Spurs show signs they're solid.

      Might also downgrade to 4,5 so I can upgrade 3rd striker to Mounie.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Already have BDavies

  13. Scholes Balls
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering Bruntiesta?

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

      Considered but he played at LB last game as Pulis hasn't signed anyone else to fill that slot yet

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Nyom could slot in there

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

          Nyom played RB

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

    Would love to Maverick captain Mhkitaryan v Swansea!

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I don't have Lukaku :/ so that's the way I'm leaning at the moment

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

    Zaha, Redmond to Mkh and jwp for -4?

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

      like it

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

    Should I make transfers now or wait until the end of the week incase or injury etc?

    -4pts swap for Hernandez to vardy.
    Vardy or firmino?

    Thinking of using the hit card and swapping pogba for mhki aswell thoughts ?

    If I use hit card could also swap Defoe for firmino?

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

      Woah! That hit chip is for the blank weeks where only 4 teams play... don't waste it , also your team reverts back to normal the week after!

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

        It doesn't say the team
        Reverts back to normal after? What makes you think that?

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

          It's in the rules.
          Free hit is unlimited transfers revert following week
          Wildcard is permanent unlimited

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

        This

    2. RTroop
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hit card isnt just a -4 its unlimited changes for gw.

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

        Yes I no I'm going to have -4pts anyway because I'm making 2 transfers but if I made more I would use the hit chip.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          The name is a poor description of what the chip actually does but basically it isn't just one -4, it is unlimited changes for that particular gameweek, your original team is still affected by price changes and price falls and after that gameweek your team reverts back to the original

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

            Oh ok thanks would never have thought that.

  17. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Who to bench;

    A) Kolasanic
    B) Danilo
    C) Stephens
    D) TAA
    E) Willian

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

      Danilo

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      TAA of course. Liverpool defence conceded 3 goals to Watford....

    3. Rinseboy

      D

  18. FPL Virgin

    Excellent article above. Ignore it at your peril.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Everything points to keeping Kane

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

    A: Ramsey + 4points
    B: Mkhi

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

      Iv watched Utd all pre-season and Sunday. Mhkitaryan is going to tear it up this year! Get him in.

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      n

    3. Rinseboy

      sorry B

  20. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How attacking was Lowe against Palace?

    Take any set pieces?

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

      im gonna watch the extended highlights now, ill let you know.
      Really tempted by TAA bt its just risky

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Exact same thoughts re. TAA.

        Where are you watching extended highlights?

  21. ElDrop
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Got both Zaha and Fabregas stinking up the joint. Best plan going forward?

    a) Mkhitaryan + Ince/Gross
    b) Eriksen + RLC
    c) Ramsey + Willian

  22. FPLMatt
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha > Phillips
    Jesus > Lukaku for a hit???

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

      not for me

  23. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So if you go by the price predictor sites it looks like Zaha will avoid the price drop tonight.

    I'll hold on till tomorrow then

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Are you 100% sure?

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

      The site I use says he might drop. Not sure which site is the most accurate.

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

      I've come to the following consulsion
      We won't here anything about Rambo tomorrow anyway, by which most sites agree zaha will be in line for a drop. Why risk on some sites tonight when all will agree tomorrow we won't have any Ramsey info anyways

  24. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pogba or Mhky?

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

      Mikkhy

  25. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So what are you guys doing with Zaha? Does not look like his price will drop tonight, but Mkhitaryan will probably rise.

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

      Im thinking Zaha redmond to mkh JWP

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

      Did anyone figure out why Bats dropped in price? He was only on around -60-something when it happened... Zaha has shed similar ownership I think...

  26. BAGGIE BOY
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Ince not getting much interest for Zaha?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mooy seems to be the flavour of the day

    2. Own Goal
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Why would Ince attract interest?
      He won't even be on penalties.

  27. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth -4 points to get Mkhi over Pogba?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No

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

      Probs no.

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Just pulled trigger on Zaha>Rambo, feels good man 🙂 how we looking for GW2?

    DDG
    Kompany, Bertrand, Aké, Cedric
    KDB, Rambo, Phillips
    Kane (c), Lukaku, Firmino
    (Elliott, Hegazi, TC, RLC)

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

      not bad feels a bit light in middle

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Are u sure Ramsey plays next game?

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

          After coming on to change the game v Leicester for Wenger? I'd say yes.

        2. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          gotta be likely for Elneny but a risk with Wenger

  29. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So, used my 1m itb to get Mhki for Zaha. Still a little worried about rotation but hoping Utd do well in their easy early fixtures. This team I think is GTG for the next few gameweeks (would still like a replacement for Daniels, had planned on getting Trippier/Bavies with my extra cash next week).

    Foster
    Bailly, Yoshida, Daniels, Dunk
    KDB, Mhki, Mane, Ritchie
    Kane, Lukaku (c)

    (Elliot, Calvert-Lewin, Carroll, Hanley)

  30. GuyIncognito
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    What's the scoop with Moreno, is he actually a starter now? I heard he was good in pre-season.
