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

    Zaha is probably out till sept 10th, that's too long to keep. Try and rectify this with 1 transfer, if you have 2 issues e.g Danilo Zaha I probably would recommend a hit.

    Mhki looks like the 9.5m man FPL thought he was last year, Utd will probably score 30 more goals this year than last. Fancy him? I do.

    If you have to take a hit, look at what Mark has done. Valencia > Jones. Sideways? Yes, but with a massive 1.5m banked. Zaha > Mhki.

    Mhki looks like he's underpriced, just like Firmino. These two should be your top attacking targets. It's all about bang for your buck guys.

      Done similar....

      Danilo and zaha to lowe and mhki.

      Not ideal first week hit - but I think sensible medium term moves...

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

        Thinking similar.

        Why not Zanka? Just the penos?

      Mkhi will bite people badly when the CL starts I think.

      Mourinho loves to rotate when it comes to the CL - and he loves to rotate his attacking mids the most (Mata, Martial, Rashford, Mikhi)

      I think Lukaku is safe as he typically likes his spine of the team to stay the same:

      de Gea
      Bailly
      Matic, Pogba
      Lukaku

      1. _Greg

        Pogba is certainly more nailed, would be very surprised if he outscores Mkhi. It's possible of course. I'm expecting Man Utd to best the swans 3-0, wait and see is a great move. If you have problems though, probably worth a hit now more than ever whilst prices are at base level.

    Mkhi is going to get rotated and that's what's putting me off him.
    Mou had never given him a consistent run of starts.

    1. waldo666
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's why I went Pogba, he will start every game he's fit, time will tell how it pans out

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

      Moi has also pulled him off after 50-60 mins on a number of occasions

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

        He has now had a season to acclimatise.

        Should play the majority of mins to champs league....thats when wildcard kicks in...

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Although now he will more than likely get a run of starts.

    4. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Will Jones keep his place?

    5. PvA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I just said above:

      Mkhi will bite people badly when the CL starts I think.

      Mourinho loves to rotate when it comes to the CL - and he loves to rotate his attacking mids the most (Mata, Martial, Rashford, Mikhi)

      I think Lukaku is safe as he typically likes his spine of the team to stay the same:

      Lukaku

      Mikhi was absolutely brilliant in the Europa League aswell last season, even with poor league form. He suits the European style of football more than the PL.

      When it comes to rotation between league and Europe, Mikhi will be the first to be benched for Lingard/Martial/Mata. Just far too much competition.

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

        This

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sure, but why are we looking beyond the next 3-4 Gameweeks with him? I'm not, I'm getting him for here and now, riding out United's fixtures and then looking again when he becomes more of a risk.

        I think he'll start vs Swansea and Leicester - I might get a dcent points return and 0.2 in profit by the time Gameweek 4 comes around. I'll have another look then.

    7. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku changes the dynamic.

      Mkhit with Lukaku as striker is the game changer. He will do well with pace up front.

      Rotation is an issue though I guess

    Amusing how everyone jumping on Mkhik, his problem has been consistency, kind of hard to gauge that after 1 whole game

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Amusing how people want a player who will do well and garner points? hmmmm.....

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

      His stats at Dortmund were very impressive. He's more settled, Utd will score more, it's logical...in my opinion.

    3. Bored Bear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He was consistently good for some of the first game.

    4. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Amusing how you judge a quality player based on a patchy first season in a new league who now he seems to have found his rhythm ?

    5. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sure I agree but I'm not committing to him long term I'm getting him while he and United have some confidence and good fixtures. Plus I'm already getting a first rise from him. Get anything vs Swansea or Leicester and he'll go up 0.2 over the break and then I would perhaps look elsewhere to avoid paying 0.3 over the odds. Getting him now protects against that and with no one tempting at 7.0 it made sense.

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

        Can see your point Mark.
        My only way in would be to sell Gabbiadini (WHU) to afford him.
        Otherwise I'm looking at Ramsey.
        Tough calls.

      2. jernej93

        KDB -> Miki ? 🙂 (FT)

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

          I did that as I had other city coverage in Jesus.

    Zaha & Gabbidini to.....

    A. Brady & Firmino

      C

    3. Hotdogs

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C

      No brainer if you have the cash

      Unfortunately I don't so my dilemma is picking between Mikhi and Firmino (A or B)

    4. Boom Xhaka-Laca

      C

    5. Andy_Social

    Really liking my team for this gw and get to save my ft. feel a good start to this season coming in. With 2ft I'll get in some Spurs assets next gw what's your thoughts?

    Heaton
    Walker, Bertrand, Daniels, Moreno
    Mane, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Ritchie
    Lukaku(c), Aguero

    Elliot, Quaner, Dann, Carroll

  6. E25
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one to bench?
    A) Bertrand
    B) Daniels
    C) Jones
    D) Mee
    E) TAA

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Wow, that's one tough call!

      1. E25
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I haven't brought Jones in yet (have Dummett) and might not for this reason. OR.. 5 at the back lol

    Zaha to tadic?

  8. cult
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 Defender to pair;

    Have
    Ake, Yoshida, 4.0, 4.0

    I'm leaning to Zanka?.. has decent fixture
    Is he nailed for now?

    1. Patty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow very budget defence

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

        its basically comes down to
        RLC & Danilo
        or
        Mkhi & Zanka/Lowe

    2. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years

      geez thats weak

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

        Will give me this front 7!

        KDB, Salah, Mkhi, Willian,
        Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino

        and will try bring in Jones to stregthen.

        1. Leeds2116
          • 9 Years

          good piint hah

        2. E25
          • 11 Years

          Strongly advise against that weak a defence + no spurs cover

    Anyone has VR ID ?

  10. DAZZ

    Contemplating Ake > Jones. Thoughts?

    1. cult

      I'm looking at that next week!

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any Kane(c)'s this week?

    Chelsea in disarray

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Here. This article convinced me. He's due.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane (C) or KdB (C) for me. I love taking captain punts at the start of the season.

  12. Puyol Pants Up
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Very tempted to do Zaha -> Mooy. Mooy (C) every week a couple years ago in A-League fantasy brings back good memories 😛

    1. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      go it mate mooy is a beast

  13. fedolefan

    That penalty against Liverpool today wow. I could do that.

  14. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

    Foster elliott
    Kola Stephens Dawson dummett* mee
    Jwp Carroll Willian debruyne zaha*
    Lukaku Kane firmino

    Thinking jwp and zaha to rlc and mkhi ?

    1. Max City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't know why one wants rlc in their team.. Is he good?

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

        He is, and he was playing up front for most of the game. However, without Zaha I fear Palace will have no effective attacking threat.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          So dump benteke?

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

    A. Zaha + Gabbiadini -> Mkhitaryan + Mounie
    or
    B. Zaha -> Ramsey

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Exaclty what I'm looking at and I'm not sure where to go with it 🙁

      1. Little Frank
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ditto.

        Plus I'm thinking Zaha + Gabbiadini -> Mooy/Atsu + Firmino

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

          I'm actually considering that too. Option C 😉
          Not Atsu though. He ain't nailed and I heard he rarely performs

          1. Don Van Vliet
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He had a great pre-season, no?

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

      Tough call isn't it

      I'm giving Gabbi a week

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone got the link to Mark's Team? or the league that the moderators take part in? i like having a nosy at their picks from time to time. 🙂

    Appreciate it if anyone has it.

  17. Max City
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Does Valencia Zaha >> Davies Mikhi (-4) a good move?

    I also have Lukaku and Kane

  18. Leeds2116
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic worth it?

  19. Uncle Avram
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Whose more nailed on Moreno or TAA?

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

      TAA until Clyne is back from injury and match fit. Moreno faces more threat to his position at LB.

  20. cult
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zanka or Lowe?

  21. mash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morning, night owls! Just listened to the scoutcast and am tempted to follow Mark's lead in replacing Zaha with Mkhi in for a hit, with Jones as the enabler. What do you think is the best move for my squad? Do we reckon Jones is nailed for now?

    Foster
    Bailly Bertrand Dawson
    KDB Willian Zaha JWP
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Suttner Hunemeier

    A) Bailly/Zaha -> Jones/Mkhi (-4)
    B) JWP/Zaha -> RLC/Mkhi (-4)
    C) Just Zaha -> Ramsey (free)

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably C

    2. Marc OverMata
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've not ears the SC but does Mark have Pog too or not?

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

        Mark has Lukaku, Jones and Mkhi now, so no room for Pogba

  22. TerryVenables
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha + Ritchie >>> Miki + Atsu?

  23. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha Replacement

    A.) Ramsey
    B.) Redmond
    C.) Mooy

    1. PvA
      • 10 Years

      C

    2. Junior ⚽

      A

  24. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Resigned myself to taking a hit with Zaha, so which do you prefer of these?

    A - Zaha & Danilo > Mikh & Zanka/Lowe
    B - Zaha & JRod > RLC & Firmino

    Thanks.

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

      I'm looking at A..
      Zanka or Lowe?

  25. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey or Tadic and why?

  26. WibblesTeam
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So who do I put in for Zaha? Nothing itb, so has to be 7 or less.

  27. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Taking into account Danilo was my placeholder for Trippier.

    A) Zaha > Mooy/Ince
    B) Zaha > Mkhi, Danilo > Lowe

  28. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where can I see that damned highlights from the last GW???

  29. Gianfranco Zola
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha > Tadic. Do it now or wait another day?

    1. Prison Mike
