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

      very nice

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

      Personally I would get rid of hart. West Ham defence is poor and he lets in lots of goals

      1. ooooo

        6 years, 10 months ago

        Forgot to change my keeper he was a placeholder and I wasn't keen on Foster haha

      Wildcard? Who's this '4.5' guy?

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

        Don't know yet and no not a wildcard team

  2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

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

      Not the worst

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years

      like it

    3. DAN DARE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I think that I thought we we're done with RMTs

    Best replacements for Danilo and Zaha (-4)Points
    A:Miki and Mee/Ward

      1. Tabbara
        • 7 Years

        Worth the hit?

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

          i think so. long term it makes sense. danilo could get subbed before the 60 min mark if city are chasing a goal. Also, I doubt whether city will keep a cleanie against everton.

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

            Yeah
            Hesitant between Ward and Lowe
            Why everyone wants him (Lowe)?

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

      save for 2FT? if you decide to transfer, maybe A.

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

    Ritchie vs Atsu bugged me pre season planning. Now after gweek 1 was Ritchie that bad? or Atsu that good? Atsu is a mil cheaper which is appealing. Any thoughts?

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

      atsu im going for

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

        cheers Norman any reasoning?

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Try to wait until after GW2. Playing Spurs and going a man down isn't exactly the recipe for seeing what these two truly have to offer.

  5. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    RIP Differentiator.

    Going into Utd vs Swansea without Lukaku, let alone not just captaining him......

    Can't get him in without selling Kane or taking hits....

    Huge whipping potential

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

      If it makes you feel any better, I have both and I'll be captaining Kane.

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      RIP Arctic Monkeys as well, I can't bring myself to lose Kane or Lacazette.

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

        The best we can hope for is an early Lukaku injury

        but we all know that's not going to happen!

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Mkhi's brace ftw.

  6. palace ash
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A) Zaha to ???

    B) Zaha and JWP to Miki and RLC? (-4)

  7. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Mooy?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Set pieces is his game. Seems like a decent option. Thinking about him vs Gross & Atsu

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

      Popular choice, good value, some set-pieces and reasonable fixtures.

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

      I see. Seems good!

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

    Hernandez for vardy or firmino?

    What gmw do you typically use wildcard?

    1. palace ash
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino

      First international break, between GW3 and 4

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

        I think firmino but vardy against Brighton this week is tempting me

        1. palace ash
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Bad fixtures after tho

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

            Is RLC nailed pls? Considering as Zaha replacement and spending cash up front on Benteke to Lacazatte. Thanks.

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

            Same for Liverpool though

            Liverpool- palace,arsenal, Man City,Burnley

            Leicester- Brighton, Man Utd, Chelsea, hudds

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

      I'd prefer Firmino personally but both look like good options.

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

        Why firmino over vardy? Everyone seems to pick firmino just curious why?

        What are the thought on Defoe aswell? Was thinking of swapping and get firmino and vardy but though I would give Defoe a chance against Watford. He scored a few last season for Sunderland and his at a better team now.

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

          Consistent returns last year and on penalties now. Pool get plenty of pens as defenders struggle to cope with Mane and Salah's pace.

          Wouldn't go for Defoe. Bournemouth have some tough fixtures and he might struggle for minutes.

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

            Is Defoe swap worth a -8pt hit though? Should I wait for the next week and then swap? Players are likely to go up and won't be able to afford. Feel like it's to early to play wildcard and -8pts is a big hit?

  9. ThisPostsOnFire
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I've been fighting it all day but it's time to bite the bullet!

    A) Valencia/Zaha > Stones/Mkhi

    or

    B) Zaha/Gabbiadini > JWP/Firmino

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

      B

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

      A

    3. DD
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Valencia/Zaha > Jones/Mkhi perhaps like Mark said he would do in the podcast

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

    best £4.5 defender?

    1. palace ash
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Missed Hegazi bandwagon?

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

        Yep

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Hegazi at 4.6

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

    Zaha and Daniels > Mhki+ Mbemba -4?

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

      Not too keen on selling daniels but...

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

      Sounds ok.

  12. DAN DARE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    First correct prediction of the season. Hopefully my next one will earn me some points http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/08/11/dugout-discussion-arsenal-vs-leicester/?hc_page=42#hc_comment_16157438

  13. Pietrus
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Will Milner be in the first 11 against the Crystal Palace?
    Help me, please

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

      Could be, Moreno simply doesn't track back. Could play in midfield if Robbo's given LB, dunno.

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

      hard to tell. Both Moreno and TAA have defensive issues. midfielders playing 4x90 mins in just 1 1/2 week??As i'm writing this, i'm more and more likely to think him being picked.

    3. Pietrus
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thank you guys! Good luck with fantasy 🙂

  14. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is Martial to risky of an option?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Miki for the same price is less of a risk tbh

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

      yes

  15. @FPLMason
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A) Redmond & Zaha --> Miki and Mooy/Atsu
    B) King & Zaha ---> Miki and Mounie
    Basically it's Mooy/Atsu vs Mounie

  16. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Wgat do you guyd think about Gabbiadini? I need founds to upgrdade Zaha to Mkhi.

    Gabbi + Zaha for Mkhi + Mounier?

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

      Yep, I'm doing the same tonight. Zaha out for 4 weeks and Mkhi and Mounier set to rise tonight

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

    Thoughts on Tadic as a straight Zaha replacement?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I am.doing it. Stats were great

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

        Do you mean Tadic stats last game?

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

      Solid enough.

    3. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yes last game 4 attempts very high up on touch heatmap and 7 touches on penalty

  18. Rawslang
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Evening all.
    Your thoughts please as am currently undecided.
    Currently have :

    FOSTER, ELLIOTT
    AKE, KOLASINAC, BERTRAND, MAWSON, DUNK
    KDB, ZAHA, XHAKA, RITCHIE, CARROLL
    KANE, LUKAKU, FIRMINO

    Already used my FT, Iwobi to Xhaka. (partly to catch Xhakas and avoid Iwobis price changes) Obviously now we have confirmation of the Zaha injury news. Am tempted by one of Saints miss - Tadic, Redmond, JWP, although I'm not sure whether it's worth the -4?? If not I end up playing Mawson or Carroll Vs Man U.
    What are your thoughts?
    Thanks

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      my eyes !!

    2. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'd play 4-4-2

      1. Sting in the Tail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry meant 4-3-3

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

    What's the news on Trippier?

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

      Minor ligament damage, dunno when back, not long-term injury

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

    Baby Driver.... what a movie!

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

      Thought it was terrible

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

      I agree. Was surprisingly better than I expected

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Was dragged along - but it was great fun, even though the trailer did nothing for me.

      Saw Ghost Story last week though and that was incredible - some will hate it though.

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

    Guys
    Worth the hit to get Miki and Lowe to replace Danilo and Zaha?
    or make a ft for willian?

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

      i think so. considering the same

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

      Yes

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

      Why are people looking to get rid of Danilo?

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

        Mendy is going to replace him isn't he? In a few more GWs.

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

        well in order to get miki i have to get rid of him now
        If not it's gonna be for the next gw which means no miki
        So now better than later IMO

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

      Considering the same moves, except I already have Willian. Thinking of Ramsey instead.

  22. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Quick question please gentlemen, does the free hit chip cancel out hits already taken like a WC does?

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

      Dunno, must read the bumf 😆

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

      It must surely

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It doesn't really say if it does or not, it's just a question so i know in the future really if it does or not.

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

      I wouldn't think so. I presume your GW3 team will be the players you currently have.

  23. amsemp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mkhi or Pogba?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Mkhi

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

    Is Lowe the best £4.5 mil defender?

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

    Guys
    Ward or Lowe
    Got Suttner who i will rotate with

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

    2 options with Zaha....

    A) Get Mooy for free

    B) Mhky / Pogba for a hit

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

      A.

      then wait a week for the united tfr.

  27. Rock n Grohl
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    David Silva a reasonable option? Already have Jesus and Mhtky. Looking incredibly sharp against Brighton and didn't get subbed off

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

      Rotation risk though. Seems as good an option as KDB, especially at 2m cheaper but doesn't have set pieces and points will be very spread in that city side

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

      Gundogan back in training so I would avoid Silva

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

    Tadic or albrighton as zaha replacement?

    Other mids are KDB, Mkhi, Carroll, atsu

    Tadic and albrighton are the ones that rotate best with Carroll and atsu

    Could also do a risky KDB + zaha > son + mahrez (-4)

  29. Jamie_GAWA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha> Atsu or Wijnaldum?

    The latter has 3 home games in the next 4

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

    Is Mooy still on penalties now that Huds have Mounie?
