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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Best midfielder to get for 6 M?
    A) P.Gross
    B) Mooy
    C) Redmond
    D) Tadic
    E) Ince

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

      I have Ritchie, hoping he can pick up points from pens and set-pieces. (Think Tadic and Redmond are 6.5 btw)

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Well C and D are 6.5 each so id say A

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

    Moreno vs Lowe Vs TAA for my 4.5 def...

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

      You thinking of wildcarding after week 3? (international break)

      If yes, I'd go with TAA.

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

      Lowe

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

      just did a comparison for lowe and zanka. lowe didnt take any corners, which people seem to be touting as his benefit

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

        Lowe is offensive minded and gets forward quite a bit, so he has that going for him too

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

    Any thoughts on this?

    Bertie / Zaha > TAA / Mkhitaryan (-4 obviously)?

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

      dont lose Bertie and esp for TAA

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

      Bertrand will be a big scorer this year, soton will be tight. TAA only a short term fix.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Too jerky.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not a fan

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

      Hmm, OK. Just not mad keen on any up to 7.0 mids!

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

    What was the Scoutscast verdict on replacing Zaha? Haven't had a chance to watch it yet as I have an exam tomorrow.

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

      They are getting rid.

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

        Mark taking a hit to get Miki

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

          im thinking the same

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

          Thanks, what's his other transfer then?

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

      Jonty considering Zaha and Gabbi out for Mooy and Firmino

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

        Thanks a lot. What about the others? Mark?

  5. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Any more info on this Lowe lad?

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

      Hudds.

      Decent fixtures

      May be on pens and I think set pieces.

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

        That's nice, thanks!

      2. Krul Runnings
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Didn't take a single set piece on the weekend.

        Not saying you're wrong. Just buyer beware is all.

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

          That's also a handy info 😀

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

    About to pull the trigger on danilo and zaha to lowe and mhki for a hit.

    Good move or madness?

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

    Thanks

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Good moves

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

      -4pts is not too much and mhki is likely to rise tonight. Not sure on the swap from Danilo to Lowe

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

      Should have enough options there to stick it out a week and save till next week?

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

        Can't save with zaha...

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

      Good move. Zaha is injured and Danilo won't be a starter for long I'd reckon.

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

      go for it

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

        Cheers all....

    6. Prøfeßör …
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      What's your Trippier plan?

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

        That is a good point backbear

        The answer is I am not sure...

        Alternative is just to do zaha to mooy which gives me cash itb.

        We don't as yet know when trippier returns do we...

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          No we don't, they estimated 2 weeks but you never know. He should at the very latest be back for GW 4, ideally for 3.

          They both look good. It's a difficult decision so I'll leave it to you. I will be bringing Mkhi in and downgrading my 4th mid to rotate RLC and Carroll (number one on the FFS Hall of Fame is doing it) Ritchie to Atsu could work. It depends on if you trust your defence enough.

  7. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Ideally id want to upgrade zaha to son, any idea how I can free up the 1.0?

    Forster, Elliott
    Bertrand, Dann, Daniels, suttner, long
    Kdb, mkhi, zaha, atsu, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    0itb

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

      Forster out for a 4.0 keeper and play Elliot is the only way I can see without breaking up your forward trio.

    2. mrmojorisin8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Salah for KDB?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Would've done that if not for the stupid rise! Other option is mahrez but he is a risk with a possible move away

      2. RichRover
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        No

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

          Only way I can see without breaking up your forward trio would be Daniels/dann to 4.5m def + Forster to 4.5m keeper then Zaha to Son

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

            -8 move though

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Atsu-> RLC ?

  8. james_lebron
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Ince? don't know too much about him

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

    Not gonna overthink things this season.
    Zaha Ramsey done for free.

    Now.
    Ryan v LEI
    Elliot v HUDD?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ryan

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

      Very close to doing this. Will wait for confirmation on Ramsey's fitness though.

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

      Is your main reasoning his goal last week and end of season form?

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

        Well this new formation suits him. And isn't it about time he reached his potential??
        If it doesn't work out you can always get rid again...

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

    Is Mkhy really nailed do we think?

    Only thing that is worrying me

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty close to

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

      No. Mourinho loves Lingard, so depending on the fixtures and how he sets up it could be 50/50

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

        I definitely wouldn't say 50/50 he'll play the vast majority

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

          Im a United fan. I want Miki to play the majority but I know he wont. Mourinho likes Lingard to much, hes a hard worker. Lingard started every pre season game before he got injured

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

      He won't play every league game due to CL imo

    4. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      until cl starts but not too sure with int break coming up sometimes players get back late and rotated

    5. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      For now, but things will get murky when CL starts. Pogba might end up being the safer pick later on

  11. cult
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How does this look for the coming weeks?.. who's a good 4.5 Def?

    Foster
    Jones, Ake, Yoshida, 4.5
    Eriksen, Salah, KDB,
    Lukaku, Firmino, Jesus

    Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Long

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nice, look at lowe or a naughton/fernandez

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lowe or TAA seem to be the cool kids choices

  12. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Just did Gabbi & Zaha ➡ Mkhi & Mounie

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

      Certainly tempting.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Popular move

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

      should be fine. I do fancy Gabbi to score tho this week

  13. Quinny___
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Between Arny and Tadic for Zaha replacment.

    Would love to gamble on Ramsey but its to early to in the season for gambles yet.

      lowe is the current flavour lpoks good

    2. @fpl_phenom

    Dummett to
    A. Manquillo
    B. Zanka
    C. Moreno/Alexander-Arnold

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lowe or C probably

  17. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best option here lads

    A. Zaha & Kola → Mkhi & Lowe/Jones (-4)
    Or
    B. Zaha → Tadic

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years

  18. Scout

    When will sigurdson likely to be at Everton? Gw3

    When at Everton do you think his a worthwhile signing?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      wait till gw 6

  19. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha on -66%, so not likely to drop tonight?

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

      No

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

      No, won't drop, but is your potential replacement rising?

    3. Dohers
      • 10 Years

      Which site do you think is reliable enough to trust this early on?

  20. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best replacement for Zaha at 7.0m or less that isn't Willian?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same boat
      Prefer tadic to Redmond
      But not sure mkhi (-4) worth it or not

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rambo here, surrounded by quality, doesn't have to defend... effectively playing 10. Gets crocked use a transfer.

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

        Will he start tho netley??

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          If he's fully fit yeah, was 2-3 when he came on. Best ACM they have available atm, let Xhaka do his real job @DM

      Arnautovic

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

    Best 5.5 mid?

    Idea of Brunt is interesting due to set pieces, same with Mooy and JWP but they face competition for set pieces.

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

      I have JWP

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mooy

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

      i've got Brunt for Iwobi yesterday.

    4. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Fraser and Mooy

  22. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha and Phillips > Mkhi and Atsu Good move?

  23. flyfishing
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    anyone able to tell me at what time of day price changes are beeing updated? once or twice a day?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Once at 2.10 am BST I think.

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

    Quick Poll
    A) Zanka
    B) Lowe

    Any reasoning appreciated

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B

  25. Jamie_GAWA
    • 7 Years

    How did Atsu look?

    Ince>Atsu?

    Thanks 🙂

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Why sell Ince, he did ok.

    2. Page 302
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      If I had to get one, i'd probably be Atsu. But there's not enough of a difference between them to spend a free transfer on Ince >> Atsu after one gameweek.

  26. le flem
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Do I need to get rid of Danilo this week? Or should I just save FT?

    Thanks

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

      Think we will get another week out of him.,, then dump for sure.

      If you want to stay City then just do him to Otamendi or Stones.
      I'm getting Trippier if he's fit for GW3

      1. le flem
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, definitely looking at Trippier. Should be 6.5. Great at crossing. Expect 150 points if he stays in team.

        thanks

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

          What about Davies? Due a price rise and with all this rose drama he looks likely to keep his spot.

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

        Same here, Trippier will be gold

  27. The60ftoctopus
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha > ?

    a) Wijnaldum
    b) Ince

    1. le flem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on squad structure, what you could do with extra money etc. I'd say A based on a or b choice

      1. The60ftoctopus
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        A since i have no Liverpool fixtures and Wij does love to try and score.
        B would be for the fixtures and +1ITB.

        1. le flem
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Well, Wij loves to score at home if you look at his record

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

    My team for gw2:

    De gea(swa)

    Danilo(EVE), Mee(WBA), Cedric(WHU), Daniels(WAT)

    Willian(tot), Eriksen(CHE), Pogba(swa), Salah(CRY)

    Kane(CHE), Lukaku(swa)

    What do you think?

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

      Very strong

    Is RLC now nailed until Zaha returns?

    Vokes or Mounie worth a shot? I see the latter is possibly rising tonight.

    JRod (6.0) is currently my third striker. Generally happy with the rest of my squad, so it's basically JRod out or just save FT.
