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.

    I now have double City, Utd and Liverpool attack. Not bad baskets for my eggs to be in though

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

      Who do u have?

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        KDB + Aguero, Salah + Firmino, Mkhi + Lukaku

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

          Nice

        2. ☆Khaz
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nice. Rest of the team?

          1. Bubz
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Elliot, Speroni
            Kolasinac, Yoshi, Stephens, Lowe, 4.0
            Carroll, Loftus Cheek

            1. ☆Khaz
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Not bad, I like it. Little risk not having spurs ofc if any of them explode, but they are just a transfer away.

    2. _Make
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of downgrading my City attack to either of Jesus or KDB. Worried about rotation. Who do you have?

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        See above

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Better than my Newcastle double attack(temporary).. I want a spurs double with Kane and Son soon

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no kane?

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No Spurs at all

    5. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doubling isn't an issue for sure, you've picked decent teams for it.

      I think I'd prefer to be doubling on Spurs instead of Man City but that's all preference

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Think I'll be doing KDB to Eriksen/Alli soon

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

          Feel like Eriksens a must

        2. jimmy189
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          foster/elliot
          danilo/dawson/bertrand
          KDB/mane/ward-prowse/zaha/carroll
          kane/lukaku/gabbi

          who should i swap zaha for? should i get rid of gabi too?

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

      Big risk taking Kane out for a hit.

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tell me about it. But it's a bigger risk pricing myself out of Mkhi and Lukaku I think

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

          Yeah you could be right there Bubz.

  2. Jsadler95
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Lacazette, David Silva, Loftus-Cheek/Carroll rotation
    B) De Bruyne, Ramsey, Mounie

    which do you think is better?

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

      B probably.. don't love either but both could work.

      1. Jsadler95
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well already got Alli, Salah, Morata and Lukaku in my team so had to budget a bit to fit in City and Arsenal unfortunately.

    2. KOLASINA(C)

      B

  3. KOLASINA(C)
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play Hegazi or TAA?

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

      TAA. On corners and free kicks.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        but 0% chance of a cleanie

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years

      Is it donate to the gravless day today?

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep great post about a great side

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        lol not quite great enough in their prime, now on the decline...

    3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

      Excellent post. Thanks. 🙂

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years

      he wasn't gravless when he posted it

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        not that it matters

  4. Markus
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I can see the player I sub this week getting the most points, options are:
    Yoshida Stephens TAA
    Willian Ramsey Ritchie

    Thinking probably Ritchie again but could derisk the saints double up by benching stephens? Thoughts?

  5. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ritchie in for Zaha?

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

      Could do worse

  6. MrMajeika
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Some much needed advice please. Already used my free transfer and i still have zaha so gonna have to take the 4 point hit. Any advice on who to swap him for? Rest of my mid is ritchie alli kdb (carrol). I have 0.5m in the bank. Maybe willian? Gross?

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

      Definitely get Willian

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

      Willian or a Southampton mid.

    3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or Wijnaldum?

    4. The_Colonel
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not Willian imo. Bad fixtures, bad team atmosphere, will be replaced soon by Pedro, Hazard or a new signing

    5. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wijnaldum for me

  7. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who is a better pick?

    A- Ritchie
    B- Ince

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

      Ritchie. Better side

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

      Neither looked great at the weekend but I have and would still go with Ritchie. But from Hudds and Newcastle the standout midfielders were Mooy and Atsu

    3. I'M 2 OLD FOR THIS HIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How about M. Phillips? In a one week everyone has suddenly forgotten him...

  8. johnnybeefcake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would it be too early to play a wildcard? There is no way im taking a hit to make more trasnfers.

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

      A WC now is ridiculous.

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

        If i want to wildcard early when should I?

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

          Hold off as long as possible, I've never made it past GW6 lol

        2. FISSH
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          gw 3 or 4

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

        If he needs to wildcard he needs to wildcard, sometimes sh*t happens

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no, do it 🙂

    3. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what your team is. Gw6 is the next best time if your team is ok.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've heard GW6 banded a lot, why is this? I'd be logically assuming as close to 19 as possible...

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You should have played it before the rises. Might as well go one more gw

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

        I think im going to wait for after GW3 as there is an international break then

  9. boc610
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Im expecting Klopp to say at some point

    "the thing is if I dont play Moreno , he releases the pictures to the newspapers.
    not cool!"

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I hope Moreno gives some pictures to TAA too 😛

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

    is Rob holding going to start this week for Arsenal? I think it ridicoulous that they would rather play two left backs at centre back

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Arsene continues with the 3-4-3 formation, then I think we'll be looking at:

      Bellerin - Holding - Mustafi - Kolasinac - Ox 🙂

      1. gunner 2727
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mertesacker will play.....

        1. gunner 2727
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          My gut says OX moves to rub and drops bellerin, was poor

          1. gunner 2727
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            RWB

      2. DD
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Monreal will definitely play

      3. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        LOL mate that's PATHETIC.

        Kola -- Xhaka -- Ramsey -- Ox
        --Monreal - Kosc - Mustafi

  11. HD7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have now Ramsey with Willian... and Atsu as a sub, wonder if it is better to put Willian as a sub?

  12. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Suppose I best captain Lukaku now that I've brought him in. This is going to be such a classic case of troll behaviour when he blanks to Swansea

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he seems to get far more stick for his trolling that kane does, a player who has yet to score a goal in August in the prem league.

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've sold Kane for him so a Kane brace and Lukaku blank will be the absolute double troll of the century

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Hey Bubz. Why did you start with Kane?

          1. Bubz
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I don't really know to be honest. He wasn't in any of my drafts up until the last couple days before the deadline and then I somehow ended up with him in there and no Lukaku

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah he wasn't in there for me but I'm all set to get him in GW 3 as per the plan. But if Lacazette scores again this weekend it'll be tough to get rid of him.

              1. Bubz
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I honestly think Alli and Eriksen are the ones to own from Spurs this season. 3m cheaper than Kane and they are almost as prolific. My plan is to get one of them in for Burnley and probably double up on them at some point

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

                  Kane really out to have a hatty on the weekend

                  1. Bubz
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    I expect Chelsea to really tighten up this weekend

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What's your defence like with that line-ups, Bubz? 😀

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's not too horrendous...

        Elliot/Speroni
        Kolasinac, Yoshida, Stephens, Lowe, 4.0

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not too shabby.

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Shabby??? It is threadbare! 😉

    Is Mbemba nailed for this week?

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

      Y i think so, but Mounie will score a double. Let him warm your bench once more 😉

  14. Dacra
    • 12 Years

    Anyone else regretting already not jumping on the already risen players?!

    1. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If I'd known Zaha was out last night I probably would have moved for Mkhi

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      mkh

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nah - that's -4 points I would rather have than jumping on players showing 1 good performance.

      I am downgrading Zaha to 4,5 Cork/RLC (already got Carroll), and then next week i go WIjnaldum -> Eriksen (if he does not rise). Otherwise i do Wijnaldum -> Alli.

    4. billnats
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've got Hegazi but dont know if I should get Ake instead...

    5. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Already owned 4 - FT intact

  15. MarkoSD
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    fabregas price still not down?
    my replacement carroll better perform nex week or it will be bad decision that I sold him

  16. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    a) Zaha > Ramsey
    b) Zaha > Arnautovic
    c) Zaha > Pogba (-4) via DDG > Foster

    1. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm probably going Ramsey.

      I don't think Pogba is worth it. I have a spare mil and am in a similar boat having missed the Mkhi rise. Pogba doesn't seem like an alternative, I'll regret not having Mkhi all season.

      On a separate note, I think you should downgrade DeGea at some point anyway.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hey you can still get him, just have to pay the extra! No big loss. Yeah was always planning on running a cheep keeper rotation, but he was the most nailed/economic way into their defence with the early fixtures.

    2. Kings of Lyon ★

  17. jimmy189

    foster/elliot
    danilo/dawson/bertrand
    KDB/mane/ward-prowse/zaha/carroll
    kane/lukaku/gabbi

    who should i swap zaha for? should i get rid of gabi too?

    thinking of possibly getting mounie and pogba but unsure pogba will return points

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

      Wont surprise me if both Danilo and Gabbi get dropped...may be in a bit of a pickle this week

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

    a) ince
    b) atsu
    c) Ritchie

    which one do you prefer

    1. Franktomet
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ritchie. set piece taker and steady on assists/goals last season in championship

  19. ludaslol
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Alonso Stephens Jones
    Alli KDB Pogba Zaha
    Firmino Lukaku Gabbi

    Elliot, TC, TAA, Rosenoir

    1) Stay put, play TAA & have 2 FT next week with more info
    2) Get out Zaha for Atsu/Mooy/?
    3) tips appreciated

    1. The special 5
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Play TAA very attacking and on set pieces like owning a premium midfielder

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

        question is what to do next week with 2 FT & Zaha price drop

    2. Franktomet
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      zaha is out for 4 weeks. Trade him for ritchie, who has good fixtures, then u can upgrade TAA to 5.5 when clyne takes his spot again

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

    Zaha >

    A. Ramsey / Winjaldum (-4)

    B. Mkihitaryan (-8)

    Already have Lukaku & Salah

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I'd try to avoid hits early this season, but if you have to then go with a (-4). Ramsey not nailed, Winjaldum could be a good punt 🙂

    2. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian

  21. Net Gains
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wow! Zaha's % owned is plummeting now that Sky have confirmed he's out for a month!

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

      zaha to ramsey last night.

    2. ☆Khaz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You're right. Looks like he might drop tonight.

  22. Mitts1411
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Help please guys - decent first week (78 points) but now have this lot for this week.

    DDG

    Kola / Ake / Mee / Stephens
    Willian / KDB / Alli
    Mounie / Lukaku / Jesus

    Elliot / Zaha / Carroll / Hune....

    Thinking of dropping Zaha for Tadic or Redmond (think Soton will beat West Ham) and playing instead of Willian or Kola.
    Also considering ditching KDB for Salah as Palace look very open.

    Are Kolasinac and Bertrand the best use of 11.5mil on two defensive spots?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bertie for fixtures and price.

      Plenty of options at 6.0 besides Kola.

      I like both but went for Stephens/Valencia myself with decent returns. Still 11.5m for the pair.
      As a gooner, I just dont fancy Arsenal keeping clean sheets very often.
      Southampton and Man U have decent fixtures.

      Bertie and Jones and pocket the 1m

    De Bruyne - Salah - Willian - JWP
    Kane - Lukaku - Rodriguez

    Pretty average team lol

    Foster Elliot
    Daniels PVA Bertrand Mee Long
    Tadic KDB Willian Ritchie Carroll
    Firmino Kane Lukaku

    Who to play week 2?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's not that difficult - bench TC, Long and Daniels?

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    O I really love this team so comfortable with it, it's -4 but still

    DDG
    TAA Stones Bertie
    Mykhitaryan Salah KDB Ritchie
    Laca Luka Gabbi

    Elliot Mee Carroll Long

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

      no spurs will be your undoing.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I am probably going KDB to Eriksen next week and Jesus in the week after or maybe WC gwk3.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did you get rid of Kane?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No never had him

    3. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just why spend 10m on KdB when there are proven higher scoring alternatives for less money

      it just don't make no sense

  28. Slartibartfast

    Madness to hold Zaha until after deadline?

    I got rid of Iwobi already, not sure I want to take a -4 for any of the ~7.0 options.

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

      hold

    2. Franktomet
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      zaha is out for 4 weeks and will fall in price.

      not madness, depending on your team. But keeping him for long isnt exactly wise

    3. ☆Khaz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here, used FT on Fab. And yesterday I ended up doing -8 so I could upgrade Zaha to Mkih. The 7m options looks weak.

    Can I have feed back on my team please 🙂 don't think I need a transfer but would like any opinions:

    Foster
    TAA, Dawson, Daniels

    KDB, Miki, Ritcie, Alli

    Jesus, Rodriquez, Lukaku (C)

    Elliot, Bertie, Yoshi, Milvojevic

    1FT 0 Itb

    1. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years

      um bertie on the bench?

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wont bench Bertie.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team but would you not play at least one from Southampton.

      1. The special 5
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was thinking of playing him instead of Dawson, but have a funny feeling Dawson will score this week!

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. I've Dawson too. He's a good shout.

    4. Bodie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal attackers??

      1. The special 5
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Apart from Laca there is no one worth it until Alexis comes back

    5. Franktomet
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i would play bertrand and bench TAA.
