The best set-piece takers and targets for FPL Gameweek 2

Hot topic.

Bertrand for me. Expect both to concede so go for the better attacking player.

Peltier obviously

bruh im on the same shizz

'thing' that only exists on here that because of which i might not captain him

Guardiola has a capable alternative available to him. Whether that is substantial enough to not give Aguero the armband I haven't decided yet.

There's no substance to it. Pep doesn't rotate nearly as much as people make out and there's no reason to believe Aguero won't start.

An assumption that Huddersfield being an easier opposition meaning Pep can afford to play other players like Sane and Jesus who were benched.

Why would Pep drop Aguero just after 1 game?
He was pretty impressive in the CS.
Also, Pep doesnt rotate his team heavily at the start of the season.
It is later when cup matches and CL come into consideration that Pep rotates his team more often.

Correct me if Im wrong.

No real substance.

There are a few things to bring some doubts in though.

He has a ready made replacement who he gushes over constantly- Jesus.

Aguero shooting instead of squaring to KDB v Arsenal is the kind of thing Pep goes berserk about.

Agüero is probably the better captain this week...but I'm probably going Salah again.

just wait

C if Wilson isn't an option, but I'd leave it personally.

2 transfers 2 sample sets better decision over all

Ings would be great if he's a regular. Monitor Southampton.
If you need a replacement asap, get Jiminez

Jimenez has an atroicous fixture vs City in GW3. A southampton striker, I'd wait on who is the prefered duo out of those three. I'd have Ings if he is nailed.
But still, with only one GW, all those choices are a little too punty to waste an FT. Just save it if you're benching Kamara anyway. Await more data in GW2

Think Jiminez, for the price and hopefully nailedness.

C

If you need Kamara’s Spot to play, it is Ings for me...he looked very good in his 30 minutes last weekend. 3 shots and very active around the goal

Ings looked good, nice fixtures coming up.

Knock yourself out copying this...

GTG ... If he doesn`t play this GW then Kenedy = auto sub.

GTG for this week!
Good luck!

Looks solid enough. Captain?

might be sterling and kun upfront.

Sterling may play instead of 1 of Jesus or Aguero for starters. Mahrez may play as RWB, with Walker as RB. Mendy would be LWB. No room for Sane.

Whatever formation they use (and starting formation is pretty meaningless in a Pep team anyway), I can only see 2 of those 3 starting.

Why would Pep switch to a 352 formation? His 433 has worked superbly and I can't see him changing the shape, except maybe for a once off/unusual change for a specific opponent. He has no many mids/wingers/forwards that it makes no sense to play 3 central defenders.

Mitro, always play the attacker unless they are vs City or Liverpool.
Foster, unless you think both will concede. in which case, Fab cuz he is a save machine.

GW2? Gotta bench those Palace defenders.

Mitrovic and Fabianski

Mitrovic and fabianski obviously

Mitrovic and Foster

I'd leave Pelts on the bench but apart from that looks great.

GTG!
Got a weird feeling AWB will deliver again and Palace will shutout Pool.

Peltier vs Newcastle seems better than the ones you have on your bench, so it´s yes from me.

Most don't have him in their teams. Could be a good option though.

There's that, but I think few of us can justify buying Salah and Kane when we can only captain one.

Looked very off the pace v Newc. Think he must still be injured.

Oh when Kane's shot!
Did NOT go in!
Oh when Kane's shot did not go in!
That's because this month is August!
And that's a month he don't score in!

(to the tune of "When the Saint go Marching in')

Playing this song in my head to convince myself of the August jinx. I was one of those who got him for GW1 vs Newcastle, slagging off the jinx as rubbish. not making that mistake again!

If I was wilcarding, I'd try to somehow fit Sterling in. Looked brilliant combining with Mendy on that left wing.

That's pretty expensive if you got Salah too? Would like to see what the rest of the team looks like.

I would I use my wildcard

Why would you captain Eriksen if everyone is talking about Agüero?

Looked very good to me in the game v Newcastle though.

Created a load of chances. But would still (c) Aguero out of the two. Chelsea beat them 3-0, imagine what the scoreline would be vs City.
Fulham didn't look too bad, Mitro was great, just Hennesey kept him at bay. Tot looked terrible, at least in the 2nd half vs Newcastle.

Good to go!

Sterling over KDB!

It was Arsenal away

Not at all thinking of getting him. Looked anonymous before his goal. Maybe it's cuz KdB coming on pushed him to the wing? Either way, not impressive enough to warrant a transfer for now.

You jest, surely?

I'm delighted to have got him when I made so many errors of judgement in my final GW1 squad elsewhere. Sure I'm keeping him and will do when he's dropped for the occasional game.

No. I'm still sure he is not nailed

My opinion is that most managers - on this site at least, got B. Silva in the Team for 2 GW only...only to swap him for Mkhy or Rambo in GW3. That that was consensus around here?

It's a classic case of keep and don't buy I think.
I got him but if I didn't would I buy him? Probably not.
Didn't do much apart from the goal, but it was an impressive finish tbf.

I own him and am looking to ship once benched.

I already own him and will keep him as long as he is playing. His main appeal is being an attacking city player at a reasonable price. So to me he is worth it.

Have him...not going to think too much until he gets drop. Everyone in the mids bar KDB and perhaps Sterling are prone to rotation.

I have him, but even if he's benched I'll wait and assess. A golden rule of FPL has always been stick to nailed players. But who at city is really certainly nailed anymore? Are we just meant to avoid them all? If you sell Bilva and bay say Stirling, you just know he'll be the one that's rested the following week.

I think we just have to accept that the cost of buying into one of the most potent attacks these days is the risk of rotation, so you just need to take the rough with the smooth. The reality could be the 7.5m guy is the one you can stomach being on your bench from time-to-time, over the 11m one.

I have him but it was never going to be a season keeper, just jumping on his pre-season goal scoring form and the fact he was pretty much nailed in GW1.

Will be doing Sanchez/Bernardo to Sterling and some 7.0 or below midfielder after this gameweek

Having a City attacker who's been playing well, has Pep's confidence and is pegged at 7.5 is a gift, even though he may sit every once in a while, like every other City player.

Yes I think so!
We dont really know which mid/fwd is nailed.
I think City will have 6 cleanies in the next 6.

Mendy is pretty much an attacker as well.
I would a 100% get him in!

Wait to see what happens with Aguero. If he doesnt do well or dosent start then yes maybe Mendy and kdb or sterling can be your two city attackers. I personally didn't go for Ederson or even Allisson beacuse of this potential problem where I want three liv or city players to provide attacking returns. Mendy and robertson are part of the attacking returns trio.

I would go Smalling to Bailly just due to security of strts instead of Shaw who had never been a Mourinho favourite.

Mkhi played 90 mins. Not sure why you had him in as it was likely he would blank against city. Neither Bernardo or Willian are better options unless Mkhi isnt nailed. Bothe Bernardo and Willian arent nailed either for that matter.

what's the rest of your defence?

You bought Mkhi even though first 2 games against City and Chelsea and want to sell after 1 game? This why I have no Arsenal players to begin with

I wouldve thought that if you have an Arsenal asset, you'd keep em until they're good run of fixtures.
Smalling to Bailly long term.

2

Kamara won't start so only 3 options

C probably

B

Yeah. What point of owning of not C in this fixture

What's wrong with King against defence that conceded 4 goals last game?

No, play King

Next week you'll be selling Benteke.

I think Benteke could be good value at some stage. This trade now considering fixtures of each seems pointless

. could easily score vs Pool? i would wait after the pool game, not buying Zaha and Arnie was exactly this; they play vs Pool in the first two gwks, won´t even have a shot on goal. Having attackers vs Pool is not going to be fruitful this season, barring some from the top teams maybe. Against all other oppositions, that West Ham game will be the reference. They won´t allow them a shot on goal (at least no other than twenty yards out or so). After Liverpool, Benteke could be good, although i would try to fork out some 0.5 to get Zaha instead?

I'm playing both. Your defence must be stacked. I don't like benching 5m or more defenders

A probably

good choices, probably A, but mitro looked good last game

is that a question? b by far, and if TAA doesn´t play you´ll get Mitro anyway. Liverpool will keep cs vs Palace.

I like it but very aggressive - only if you have literally no issues elsewhere

Could both be good in the end. Seems knee jerky like why not start with Maddison?

Wait this week. You may want Mikhi after Chelsea match is done

Except if bad news during pressers it’s what Im doing.

Think Madd will have a great season and Leicester good fixtures start now.

Of course there is a risk but I’d like to have Madd before the herd.

thx for feedback all... tough decision

He is prime penalties and direct freekick taker. That is why he scored by that way.

Depends on what you can do with the extra 1.0m. Neves doesnt need to score as well as Jota to justify 5.0.

That said, probably too early to tell. If Neves is more involved in creating chances he may be great value.

To be fair, Neves only scores worldies, never inside the box. That's just the way he goes about it.

You pay for what you get

C - give Sanchez a last chance and get 2 free transfers for next round.

C. Why ditch after points and one game?

just think how many times you see sterling in or near the box compering sanchez does it with the bus

A

Aguero looked bad too.
Should have crossed the ball to KDB - Pep dont like it.
Jesus wont sit on the bench forever and it is as good a game as any to give him a start.

Those are the main reasons.
Dont know how I feel about it all. Also think there is a risk he doesnt start, it’s 55/45 Aguero starting imo. The risk in itself will probably prevent me from captaining him.

Salah, Arnie and Mendy are all decent choices I think.

i think it is just becouse you never know with pep never!! it is just kdb who will be safe from rotaitions most of the times

Or transfer Barnes>King(Wilson)

Sanchez not looking good for Brighton? I personally don't like him, but a lot of managers rate him for that match.
