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.

        Boring can be good if it saves you points

        1. @BigChrisso
          • 15 Years

          B is my answer.

          Avoid a hit unless you must in first few weeks imo

    If you've had to pick one which one do you think will do best for the next 4 weeks and WHY?
    A lot asking this question so I thought I'd try get them all together.

    A) Zaha to Ramsey
    B) Zaha Gabbiadini to Mooy Firmino
    C) Zaha Gabbiadini to Mkhi Mounie

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      C based on form preseason and week one and fixtures

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years

        Feel like I'm chasing points that way

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 10 Years

      Zaha to Ramsey ... no hit... but depends on when you want to use your wild card too

    3. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is Mooy that good? A looks best because of no hit!

    4. @BigChrisso
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A because there is no hit and Ramsay can thrive in the 3-4-2-1 wenger is using

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Do you fancy Ramsey to start and do well?

        1. @BigChrisso
          • 15 Years

    Thoughts on Robbie Brady as Zaha replacement and free up cash...?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I actually am thinking about him. Brady vs Mooy if I do my transfer tonight.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I want Kane for GW3, so need to free up funds.

    2. Krul Runnings
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think he is an excellent choice. Considered it myself but can't see an obvious way to spend the funds next week so I'm gonna splash out on a -4 for Mikhi to replace Zaha

  4. dunas_dog

    Taken free transfer Iwobi to Atsu and got £1 m in bank. Team and bench look good enough with no hits ?

    Foster
    Bertrand Ake Danilo Kolasinac
    KDB Willian Atsu
    Lukaku (c) Firmino Kane

    1. smitchlovesfunk

  5. _Greg

    It's been a nightmare fending off wildcarding. Iwobi dropping was annoying, he'll probably play this week too.

      Mark was planning a hit to get Mikhi inn. Jonty was considering brining in Mooy and Firmino for Gabbiadini and Zaha

    2. Honeyman07 42

      Mark

      Valencia and Zaha to Jones and Mkh

    Which striker to 6.0 is the best option? Jay Rod, Mounie or Vokes?

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

      Mounie

    2. @FPLMason
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mounie for the fixtures

    3. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you get vokes, you may need to roate him with a cheap mid, possibly atsu. i've got vokes n have 5.4m to swap for someone who emerges this week. Vokes was ace end of last year.

      JRod is solid, yet West Brom don't typically score a lot.

      Mournie looks good, but can Huddersfield continue like that?

      Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks one to monitor at Everton, 5m is cheap. Siggy is imminent though so will need more assessment.

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

    Screw it, got wijnaldum for zaha. Facing a few poor defenses and likes his home games

  10. Honeyman07 42
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is JWP nailed with Lemina?

    1. Slam
      • 11 Years

      No, but I still fancy him.

  11. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Which of these sounds better?

    Zaha ->

    A) Tadic
    B) Ramsey

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

      B as Saints can't seem to score

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But he isn't nailed, is he?

  12. Trading Bear
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez to Barcelona

    Anyone else find it out that the perfect player to replace Neymar is a player they previously sold.

    He'd fit perfectly into that role and is even itching for more money/to leave and has all the experience to boot.

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 9 Years

      Would be interesting

    2. Slam

        Yes. Hence the 'player they previously sold' part.

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

      Newcastle fans how nailed is Atsu? Thinking him as part of a hit to get Mkhi otherwise will just do Zaha to Ramsey for no hit

  13. Pea Soup
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Darmian out... who to bring in for £5.5 (or less)?

    1) Jones
    2) Davies
    3) Someone else

    Other defence is Cedric, Hegazi, Kola & Danilo.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 15 Years

      Why on earth did you pick Darmian!?! 😮

    Just a note to remember: One price fall is not a big deal as it won't affect selling price. One price rise directly affects buying price.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No comprende.

      One price fall does affect selling price surely.

      Player was 7.0. Can sell for 7.0.

      Player is now 6.9. Can sell for 6.9.

      0.1 less.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        One price rise does not affect selling price though.

        Player was 7.0. Can sell for 7.0.

        Player is now 7.1. Can sell for 7.0.

            Have you got a Zaha exit plan TM?

    4. Pea Soup
      • 15 Years

      This is nonsense

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

      From FPL rules:
      "The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest £0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player."

      Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the 50% thing applied to falls as well, eg if you bought zaha at 7.0 and his market price falls to 6.9 you would sell him at 7.0 (rounded up from 6.95). When his market price falls to 6.8 your selling price drops to 6.9. Am I wrong?

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, but got to correct you.

        If he goes down to 6.9, you're selling for 6.9.

        Even if he goes down to 6.8, you're selling for 6.8.

        You're selling for that player's current value if lower than purchasing price.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          And if he goes down to 6.8, then back up to 6.9, I believe you're still selling for 6.8.

    Considering keeping Fabregas on the bench and taking the price drop so I don't have to take a hit

    FT will be Zaha out for Ramsey most likely

    Begovic (Elliot)
    Kompany Kolasinac Stephens Bertrand (Rosenior)
    KDB Zaha** Pogba Fabregas* Carroll
    Kane Lukaku (McBurnie)

      Same debate. I feel that firminio is too much of a bargain to ignore for this seaon but the form of mounie and mkhi is hard to ignore too.

      I thought mooy was good but brady has a much bigger eye for goals. However pitch time and fixtures are less appealing.

    I got 68 points GW1 but have Zaha and Danilo who will lose his spot eventually.

    Would you do a -4 to change the two.
    Zaha to Mkhi/Pogba and Danilo to 4.5

      no, City will likely have at least 1 more CS before the break and I dont think Mendy is back yet. Hold
