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.

    Im sorry to say this, but Wolves are going to be in the Prem next season, no doubt.

  4. Emp

    Pick one for the medium -term :
    A: Zaha to ramsey/tadic/willian
    B: Zaha to eriksen; Jesus to Firm
    C: Zaha to mkhi; gab to mounie

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years

      I did C)

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie

      C seems the popular choice

    Migs has been Liverpool's man of the match tonight

    A couple of great saves and a penalty save

    That Liverpool defence is truly atrocious and a complete liability

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Awful CB's. The fullbacks were decent. Lucky to concede just 1 I think.

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Very lucky but you will take that result and run

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          All day. That's Hoffenheim's first home defeat since May..2016.

      2. Agger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The only thing Palace have to do is hit long diagonal balls in-between our defender's and Benteke will probably score 5 against us. It's a joke.

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Matip and Lovren are dumb and dumber. Matip we could get away with if he had a top partner. Lovren is just shite. Henderson too.

      3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        its Lovren. Matip's ok.

      4. Captain Roberto
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        "The fullbacks were decent" Granted the teenager Alexander-Arnold played very well until he switched off and was at fault for the Hoffenhiem goal as his man got free to score but the penalty came because Moreno completely abandoned his position to rush up the pitch. He exposed Lovren several times and was out muscled on others. Moreno was a constant defensive liability. So the fullbacks were culpable in, or directly responsible for, the two big events (penalty and goal).

        Pointing the finger at the centre backs seems to be the policy with many yet it's the almost complete lack of defensive structure around them that exposes them; a week defensive midfield in front, a flappy goalie behind, and a bunch of shirkers who when faced with a corner fail to block runners and duck corners in their own six yard box.

    Knockaert a good replacement for zaha? fixtures look great

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or Grob (0.5m cheaper)

    2. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Two away matches coming up - liking Mooy's fixtures better

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No alternative options please!

    Zaha>

    A)albrighton

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years

      Thinking B

    2. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond out of that. He's not definitely out though. Wait for presser

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can zaha avoid a drop til Thursday/Friday?

        1. n-doggg
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Potentially....

  10. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1) Zaha to ?
    A Rambo
    B Tadic + 0.5 (or Redmond)
    C Jwp + 1.5

    2) Who to bench
    A Lowe (CPL)
    B Atsu (hud)

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B and bench atsu I guess

    2. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1C
      2B

      PS/ Isn't it "Lowe (NEW)"?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, correct

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    its unbelievable that Pool dont invest in defence, or even try to coach their defenders

  12. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mignolet might not actually be a bad pick with Lovren in front of him, think of all the pen saves...

    1. Agger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I suggested this in pre-season but people on here thought I'd lost the plot.

      1. Net Gains
        • 10 Years

        sarcasm fail, mate

  13. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Might just keep Zaha and play Dann for the weekend.

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Unbeaten; not many teams can say that after 3 games 🙂

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      We can

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

        we're coming for you 😛

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which option do you prefer: A) Bertrand + salah or B) Cedric/yoshida + mane?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well did expext different opinions.. Impossible for me to choose! Mane def looked more dangerous than salah today.. But bertrand will without a doubt get more bps and is a bigger attacking threat

    5. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A easily

  16. radawson
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey or Redmond?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond

    2. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond

      1. Super Silva
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why not Ramsey ??

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          This indeed. I have a feeling

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rambo

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey all the way... he should surely be an 8.5 or 9.0 in that gunners formation. Fitness the only ?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Starts another ?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Think Wenger really rates him & if he's fit he starts. He is also a much, much better footballer than Elneny

  17. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha for richarlison?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      could work

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Do u think he will play?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          eventually, dont know when; prefer Atsu

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He looked good when he came on. You might be a game or two too early though. I really want to punt on An Aaron Ramsey revival

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I just think Watford look like they might just try and score score score and not worry about defence!

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Bit different to Silva's style with Hull though?

  18. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha & Danilo-------Mkhitarian & TAA -4 yes or no?

    1. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doing something very similar but cannot decide on a £4.5m DEF

    3. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I may do that.

      But taa is incredibly short term option.

      Lowe?

      Who else at 4.5 is there?

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody considering moreno? To consecutive starts in important games without being subbed.. Really decent performance in both games as well

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Christian Atsu - was he that good? Lots of noise on here & elsewhere about him passing the eye test. 5.0 is a lovely price point too, although I already have Carrol/RLC as playing 4-3-3.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He had a good pre-season and some lads wrote that he played well in the end of their match vs. Spurs.

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He played well against an 18 year old debutant not going to get that every game

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Very true the Kyle walker peters factor may have played a big part. He's on the watchlistnthough

          1. Johqvist
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            KWP did get MOTM though and Atsu looked would have looked lively against anyone imo. Definitely looking at him.

  20. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Like many others, looking to ship Zaha.

    Squad as follows with nil ITB:

    Foster Elliott
    Stephens Danilo Mee Dann Long
    Salah KDB Ritchie Zaha Carroll
    Gabbiadini Kane Lukaku

    None of the other £7m and below MIDs attract me really, maybe Willian but not enthused. Mkhi is therefore tempting me at £8m. Would rather take a hit for someone I want then settle for a sub par option.

    Would need to downgrade £1m elsewhere - where to do this? Danilo down to a £4.5m?

    Lowe?
    TAA?
    Someone else?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Danilo > 4.5 or gabbi > mounie

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty sure I'm gonna take Danilo out, it's just which 4.5

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wijnaldum or Ramsey the 2x standout options imo. Leaning way more towards Ramsey

  21. mogadishu
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The return of Granville !!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

      Upvoted

  22. Davido989

    Imagine how many goals Liverpool's attack would score against Liverpool's defence.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haha, nice one.

    2. Alan_T
      • 9 Years

      🙂 training games must be fun to watch

    3. how now brown cow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Reminds me of spurs under martin jol.

      Lots of focus on sh*te defs but I still think 1 decent DM and things might look different.

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So Firmino Mane and Salah's stocks still on the rise after tonight? All looked lively and could have easily netted again

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How did bobby do?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        got around; had chances, encouraging i would say, especially with Palace up next

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Another goal v Palace hopefully to keep the wagon rolling:-)

      2. Johqvist
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Like he usually does. You don't see him throughout the game and then he ends up with an assist and missed a real sitter. Love of my life he is.

    2. Agger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Problem I find is that Mane and Salah are both playing on opposite sides to their strong foot so when they're through on goal, unless they have time to cut inside, they have to shoot with their weaker foot and they really struggled with that tonight. Finishing was poor

    3. Captain Roberto
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Salah should have put two one-on-ones away. But didn't. Sign of things to come?

  24. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Fabs & Gabbiadini to Mkhi & Mounie (-4)?

    Or just Fabs to Ramsey

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't get that Ramsey love, for real... I'd suggest you doing A

    2. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Quite like the -4. Mounie and mkhi about to price rise

  25. bojack

    Great article.

    Eriksen will be in my team before long I feel.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      should be already 😉

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I keep trying Alli & Eriksen without Kane while window shopping... the team looks so strong then I think - don't try to be too clever - Kane will surely come good. What we really need is Kane to bag 30 points in his next 2 games to put these doubts to bed

    3. Slam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      His numbers are always big though

  26. Pietrus
    • 9 Years

    Will Milner be in the first 11 against the Crystal Palace?

  27. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Despite Dejan Lovren's best efforts we've come away with a valuable away win

  28. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Mkhi as a Zaha replacement worth 4 points over Ramsey?

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi looked great and would be involed in a lot of goals and with the imminent price raise could be a good time to get him

  29. Scholes Balls
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do you guys think of Mooy as a replacement for Zaha?

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just did Zaha/gabbi to mooy/Firmino... hopefully mooy is a clever differential

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Did you consider Ince not sure between the two of them or maybe another 6mil player

    2. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm liking Mooy, good stats and nice fixtures. Lets me keep £ banked for possible Kane upgrade in GW3. But also considering Gross or Redmond

  30. Scratch
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Must say Mane looks a far better option than Salah, worth the extra 0.5m. He looks sharp and i'm not convinced Salah has the same composure when chances come their way.
    Also... Mane is generally just a fun player to have and cheer for.
