FPL Gameweek 3 – Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

B

A all day long!

B

B. Salah>

the bees have spoken

Have to keep Salah for this week as Hazard won't play 90 yet , so I currently have Salah/Mane and Mhiki , can then decide GW 4 if you want to lose Salah for Hazard until GW 8 maybe and then swap back again.

Long term A for sure. Salah should score the most out of any of them (maybe by 50+ pts), but I reckon Mane and Hazard will significantly outscore Mkhi who is very overrated atm

B not even close

If I had bigger balls, I'd have A plus Mkhi. But I'm going B plus Mané.

B .... easy!

Looks solid for now... see how salah and hazard both do cause easy switch if you need to... maybe try get an extra mil somewhere to upgrade guendouzi for kante or a Bournemouth player? Personally id have TAA over Robertson but yhh... personal choice i guess

Which combo gets you more points?

Aubameyang, Guendouzi, Peltier, Hennessey
Or
Ings, Pedro, Alonso, Ederson

It looks like you haven't learned much.

You have to play absolute fodder every week. If you want expensive defenders you simply cannot have 4 players over 9 million.

Robbo -> TAA or another nailed 5.0 with similar returns with good fixtures
Kamara -> Ings

I see more points from that combo.

Hold on Mkhitaryan for the run of good fixtures, if he gets rotated you can shift to a 6.5 and upgrade a 4.0Def.

back to the drawing boards then. cheers!

A

Alonso and Mkhi

Mitrovic.

I fear no one.

Alons/Auba/Haz

Just Auba for now, but sure Hazard / Kane / Sterling will make it tough over the next few weeks!

Mane and Zaha

Ben Hamer

Mane is terrifying me.

AWB as he would be tearing it up this weekend...

Alonso, always Alonso sigh hic!

Aubameyang. But think most don't have him yet so should be alright.

Zaha

Auba, Sterling and Kane.

Aguero

Kane and Alonso for nos.

When I don't watch them I see only green arrows. Maybe I am just jinxed, they are good lads- just not for me.

Watched a bit of it. Too much advertising and pleas for likes, subscribers etc for my taste.

Isn't it just 2 hours of watching him pick his team? Or is that something else

International break is just around the £orner. You didn't activate it did you?

This season the gain is not that big but was able to avoid a 0.4 drop and still up to 101.4 atm with my WC , so think it was worth it , all about keeping your team value as the drops seem more than usual!

Haven't been able to gain much value in years. Even in the international break. Double risers extremely rare now.

it's more about the value losses.. it's gone mental

A

A for now, but I'm gutted I haven't made room for DSilva.

I think he'll only play when Emery needs his work rate. Will probably be dropped when Lacazette starts so Aubameyang can drift wide.

Bench if Auba LW

The guy’s Nollywood performances are better than on the pitch, so I wouldn’t bother with him. Had a decent game against Chelsea tbf, but there’s way too many other options at Arsenal atm

I'd rather go Fraser or Stephens +1M.

Europa League matches don't count.

Mahrez has had his rest and should start this weekend.

Think both Sterling & Mahrez start @wol

Think the 4pts is worth more than a 0.1 drop atm and Pep could start Mahrez this week , so maybe do it for free instead next week.

You can't go without Salah.

Salah and Ings, solid captain option every week and Morata is a bit dog

Delete 'bilva'. B Silva is fine.

G2G but Salah (c) , my team so similar to that , starting 11 anyway Patricio PVA Arnie is Foster Alonso King

Salah (C) for me

How can you do Pedro to ings lol

No, but what's done's done, relax

They are both good picks atm , think Mane is the better pick for this gameweek but Alonso should be better for GW 5 -8 when Liverpool have some tough fixtures.

Did the same thinking Mané can’t keep this up.. famous last words..

Pereira

Ings by a mile

Ings all day

Personally I'd go with Ings.

I've started Ings

Effective ownership is a nonsense, meaningless metric. Don't worry about it.

Around 83% I think

A and you know it.

Can see Ozil doing well from now.

Zanka when back

Could look at Watford for some decent options if you already have Palace.

Holebas maybe?

Go for it

Not sure for a -4. But Kante looks like a good pick this year.

Kante for a hit

Bloody heard it all now lol

Won't do it for a -4 as Cairney will start so Kante will have to score 6+ pts just to go even if Cairney blanks , maybe for a free next week?

lots of people will be taking hits this week so it's a good time to take one

Not worth it if Cairney is your 5th bench mid.

Not in isolation. Only if you’re getting a big hitter.

No. Chances of recovering the 4 points lost are low.

Stankovic could be a jammy option (could get a cleanie) or play safe with Bennet

otherwise suck it up and get zero or even worse an OG from Doherty :/

Yeah maybe just take the zero pts atleast it is 2pts better than Doherty scored for us this week and AWB is back again next week.

Cheers all, will hold out and wait for AWB to be back next week and hope Peletier starts!

Ings

2

Yeah. Ings I guess but definitely a good problem to have.

2

cheers guys
might have to flip a coin 🙂 😆

It’s currently A. I’m not confident though.

See below

A definitely

A

Who’s this Surely character?

Well 3 of those didn't start last week so how can they be nailed?

Yeah surely they're nailed.

Except last week 3/5 didn't start...

Correct

Yep.

Don't sell for a hit.

Yeah will keep him now if you already took the price drop.

not for a hit

I might have ditched for a hit but prioritized getting Mkhi and Alonso in for a hit.. so he has to wait another week.. took the hit and it’s annoying

Incorrect

I agree

I’m on the fence. I think he could be a real bargain but his early impressive stats remind me of Joselu’s last season and that worked out atrociously!!

Got a feeling Ings will perform well for his price

I’m not fully convinced either, But ready to be proven wrong should he live up to the hype. Easy downgrade at least

leicester have no focus up front and a bit wooly at the back

I think his price is very tempting, watching him closely this week as thinking him or Jiminez for King next week.

Couldnt care less if Saints lose 4-1 every week. As long as Ings gets the one. Wouldn't invest in anyone else from Saints tough.

He will be good if he stays fit. But this is like asking Sturridge to stay fit

Jimenez looks good for the same price. Focal point of their team. My concern with Ings is he’s fragile

Vardy is only out for 2 PL games - one of which is against Pool.
Why would you want Iheanacho?

Do nothing

Go for it if you want to take the risk but not for Mhiki he could also get a brace this weekend , who is your othet two strikers atm +

Let Jay Eggs buy him, you're fine

B

B

B

wow lot of love for B, why?

B??? A easily imo, Zaha is so over rated on here are u kidding me

A for me ... don’t trust Kante’s output at all. Ings looks a bigger threat than Zaha already, and Pedro is a decent punt as he’ll get returns if he plays. Definitely been better than Willian lately so should be his place to lose for now.

Slayah

Going with Salah myself, as I Think he is the better option looking at H/a, minutes, stats, involvement, opponent etc. etc. etc.
In the end, no-one knows, as bot are very capable of a massive haul. Go with you gut on this one and you won’t be AS disappointed if you get the wrong one

Salah had 8 and 9 first 2 GWs, first doubt digit haul of the season incoming.

Well if u get him then bench king don’t want double Bournemouth

No coz you can’t play with 5 MID and 3 FWDs. Fraser is the weakest of them all despite good form. And you already have King as Bournemouth cover. Fraser is good, but not if you keep King

no just bench ralls
