Why I’m being patient with my FPL transfers after a disappointing Gameweek 1

Fantasy Premier League managers should exercise patience, even after a difficult Gameweek 1 for some.

It can be easy to make rash transfer decisions after one round of matches, but, if I do transfer anyone out, I will be doing it after much consideration in the cold light of day, and ensuring the change is made after upcoming midweek matches.

The gap between the first two Gameweeks is one of my favourite times of an FPL season. Blank Gameweek clubs aside, we now have a full set of data from the first round of fixtures, as well as a first look at the teamsheets for each club.

That has given us more information to rely on in terms of owning the right £4.0m defenders and £4.5m midfielders, as well as the right premium assets. 

At this stage, it would be very easy to panic. There are several big decisions to be made, even after just one Gameweek in the history books.

As I write this, Mohamed Salah (£12.0m) is owned by 33.9% managers worldwide, 66% of them are perhaps wondering how to fit the Egyptian King into their squads, or how to hold their nerve for one more week – and there is the return of both Manchester clubs to contend with.

Meanwhile, there were many in the Fantasy community planning to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m) ahead of Gameweek 3, but his goal and Arsenal’s performance at Fulham could make such a move harder than some might have imagined. Up next, the Gunners face a West Ham side that looked off-colour against Newcastle, so Aubameyang could conceivably be heading into Gameweek 3 on the back of two decent scores.

With so many of the dilemmas featuring the most expensive players in the game, Aubameyang, Salah and the Manchester assets, I am expecting chaotic FPL transfers this week, with plenty of price changes.

Ahead of Gameweek 2, the market comes into its own as managers make early moves to bring in players and avoid price rises. 

On Saturday, 10,000 brave souls sold Salah before he had even kicked a ball against Leeds. A further 1,000 of them jettisoned him during the game itself, an outing in which he scored a hat-trick and registered a 20-point haul. 

By half-time at Craven Cottage, Aubameyang was the sixth-most transferred-in, as well as being the third-most transferred-out player. Elsewhere, Son Heung-min (£9.0m) had suffered the loss of 3,000 managers by the time Crystal Palace hosted Southampton Saturday, despite not playing until the following afternoon.

A lot of this early chopping and changing of other managers does make it hard to stick to your strategy. In such circumstances, it is easy to second-guess yourself constantly, worried about being priced out of your must-have transfer.

There is no way to win FPL, or indeed lose it, during the opening couple of Gameweeks… but you can destroy your strategy by panicking and overthinking. 

The whole of pre-season was spent formulating a team that we believed would be the right one for the beginning of the campaign, not just for Gameweek 1. 

Players such as Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), Sadio Mané (£12.0m) and Danny Ings (£8.5m) are not, all of a sudden, bad options because they blanked in Gameweek 1. These are the sort of players who showed last season that they can often return points.

Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) is a prime example of how luck can play a part in Fantasy. He managed just three penalty box touches at West Bromwich Albion, two of which were spot-kicks, which he converted. The Leicester man did not pass the eye test at all, yet he ended up as one of the highest-scoring forwards of the Gameweek. Sometimes the luck is with you, as was the case with Vardy owners in Gameweek 1, and sometimes it’s not. This trend will continue to oscillate throughout the course of the season, so do not be too easily disheartened. Premium assets are expensive for a reason and luck can turn in a heartbeat.

As for myself, owning Salah and Aubameyang for this opening weekend was a good decision; the rest of my players were complete let-downs. 

Like many of you, I am tempted to remove some players who failed to deliver in Gameweek 1. I could switch Che Adams (£6.0m) to Patrick Bamford (£5.5m) or Saint-Maximin to Daniel Podence (£5.5m), for example. However, these sorts of rash transfer decisions, based only on frustration and data from just one match, nearly always do more harm than good in the long-term.

During the build-up to Gameweek 1, I had a plan for my transfers and I intend to stay true to it. My FPL management style is the opposite of an upside-chaser. I am loyal to my FPL assets, I like to hold and roll transfers and give myself as much thinking time and data as possible to make my decisions with. 

Between now and the Gameweek 2 deadline, we have EFL Cup matches for Newcastle, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Brom, Fulham, Southampton, Leeds, Everton, Sheffield United, Wolves and Brighton – and Spurs are in Europea League action too. 

As far as I am concerned, each of these is another chance to evaluate a team and the busy schedule is another reason to wait until Thursday or Friday before making my transfers.

These midweek fixtures could all throw up potential injuries that could force FPL managers into another transfer, or even an unwanted points-hit if moves have already been made. I hate doing this, so I will remain as patient as possible.

But just because I want to take this approach with transfers, does not mean I won’t be making any at all. At this stage, I am not ruling out changes for Gameweek 2.

FPL lessons learned as Martial and Rashford outscore Fernandes

I planned to start the season with a Manchester United asset on my bench so that I was ready for their Gameweek 2 match against Crystal Palace. However, in the build-up to the Gameweek 1 deadline, there were doubts around Marcus Rashford’s (£9.5m) fitness, Bruno Fernandes‘ (£10.5m) potential need for quarantine, as well as uncertainty surrounding Mason Greenwood (£7.5m) in light of an ongoing Jadon Sancho transfer saga, and the youngster’s antics while on international duty with England. The number of unknowns surrounding Manchester United assets meant I did not feel comfortable deciding who to own a whole week ahead of their opening game of the campaign.

Coupling this dilemma with the high ownership of other similarly-priced assets convinced me to go with Son for a home meeting with Everton. This was a decision which, on paper, felt like the right one. Spurs had not lost a Premier League match against Everton since December 2012. Well, now the Toffees’ last victory against them came as recently as… last weekend. Even though Son has previously represented a viable investment, his wider role in Jose Mourinho’s team continues to disappoint the South Korean’s Fantasy owners, just as it did during Project Restart.

That said, Son was always in my team as something of a cash-cow, ready and waiting to be upgraded to a Manchester United asset at some point. Is Gameweek 2 too early to pull the trigger on such a move? This was something I was happy to consider before kick-off on opening day, on reflection, I am even happier to do now. But with so many players failing to impress in Gameweek 1, the difficulty comes in deciding who my priority transfers are.

'Out of position' Zaha scores as £4.0m defender Mitchell aids Palace clean sheet

Crystal Palace surprised me in their 1-0 win over Southampton. They were stronger defensively than we saw at the end of last season, Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is playing up-front as an out-of-position FPL midfielder and new signing Eberechi Eze (£6.0m) impressed me when he came on for a nine-minute cameo. 

But I am making sure I remember this: all of my potential moves will be on hold until after midweek action. The last thing I want is to use a transfer, only to see someone else in my squad injured in the EFL Cup or Europa League.

    So annoyed with Saiss.

    Wanted him in my team all along but talk of potential competition for his spot .i.e. NOT NAILED kept his out. His talents on full display.

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He was on my bench

      As was Mitchell

          Shhh

          I may not have realised yet

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I know

      Had him and Justin most of the way until I decided I wouldn't want a defensive transfer just before I began final reset process. Scaredy cat failure

      Both had lovely fixtures

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      you can always transfer him in after city game

  3. james 101

    Gents. A little help?

    McCarthy.
    Digne Saiss Justin XXX Mitchell
    KDB Rodriguez Bruno Willian Hendrick
    Jimmy Martial DCL

    Add a 5m defender:
    A. Gabriel
    B. Shaw
    C. Coady
    D. Somebody else?
    Or...
    E upgrade somebody else eg Hendrick to a £5.5m?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw or Hendrick to Harrison

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Considered both

        Is shaw looking that good?

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He looked really good in the pre-season match. Should have had 2 assists if we had anyone who could finish. Martial will be back by palace match hopefully and put those in the back of the net

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            His problem since forever has been he gets injured a lot. Plays well whenever he's not injured

          2. james 101
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks mate!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Digne, Richo or JRod

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Dear god i wish it'd be digne but unlikely

      2. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If Richo i will get him in on WC,if Digne will get him +DCL

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We think and hope it’s Rodríguez

    3. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good question, I’ve heard DCL but that’s just rumours

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He’s only taken 2 in his life and they were in England U21 friendlies. Just no

    While everyone will be frantically getting Auba out in gw3 for a united/city asset is anyone actually thinking of keeping him for the long term despite the difficult fixtures on paper?

    Even though the fixtures are difficult on paper there is still every chance he could score v Liverpool/city. He scored past united away last season. Imo he's a potential 240 point player over the season and could potentially outscore KDB.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No City at home doesn't sound fun.

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Iirc he nearly scored v city away last season despite being down to 10 men. There's still every chance he could nick a goal.

        Plus he has sheff united sandwiched between Liverpool and city who conceded a lot of chances today at home to wolves.

    Quick positive post for anyone sitting on a shocking GW1 score. I finished OR 2,700 last year but still had 3 GWs with a score of 5m +

    Anything is possible at this stage. Relax, take stock, look at your problem areas and take reasonable actions after careful consideration of your options.

    P.S. 2 of my best weeks last year also came immediately after a 5m rank week.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      OR1 isn't possible, top 10k doesn't mean anything - it's game over

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        OR 1 still more than possible IMO

    Despite 71 not being a great score from 15, I have to be content with 22 points from my BB.

        cheers mate, sorted, forgot to update

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looool 71 not a good score

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oh I thought it was a brag. 71 from bench boost.

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's ok but not good for BB, subtract the 22 and its a below average GW score

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well played

      The bench bit that is 🙂

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Pingy, was debating James/Saiss for ages but in the end it didn't really matter as both hauled.

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And finally someone with less in midfield than me 😀

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Haha feel there's great value in 5.0+ defenders this season plus with so many strikers I want to be flexible with those at the start. It could be a different story once City, MUN & CHE mids get going though!

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Quite

          Way I see it is there's amazing 8.5- 10 value and loads of them are captains in waiitng. KdB and Bruno are only so so captains so why have them when fixtures are so so too.

          Also Robbo and TAA are likely to closely match most 7.0 7.5 mids just in attacking returns

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            They'll likely beat all mids under 8.0 imo...Digne & James could be cracking value also so I'm glad I started with those two now

    5. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      was a bad week to bench boost. You gotta do it when there's a good reason to avoid a premium or two. Not owning a pool mid just too risky. 22 is kinda irrelevant too as that'd never be your bench if not boosting. Still 77 a decent score and you don't have to plan for one later on now so onwards and upwards

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've enjoyed boosting in GW1 the past few seasons so went with it again...a gamble for sure but it's an overrated chip imo regardless

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'm a big fan of bb gw1 but didn't fancy it this year. The whole point is to get off to a flyer with it, too risky not being abke to afford noth highly owned and captained Salah and Aubameyang against promoted teams

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Aye, was always a risk going without Salah for that game

  11. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Front line of:
    Auba Son Havertz Soucek 4.5
    Kane Werner Wilson

    Which do you like the look of:
    A: Kane > Vardy
    B: Kane > Martial
    C: Keep

    Not ruling out WC in gw3 or 4, so looking to make a positive move to try and get a 10+ in that slot

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have Kane too. Captaining this week

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Had no service last week apparently and bookies have him at 2.5 to even score so not looking positive

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hold

      The move is Kane to Jim in 4 imo. That's my general plan anyway.

      The positive move may be no move. You have almost 100% Spurs GI there and two perfectly decent fixtures imo.

      Martial GI is ok only. United could haul and he may only get the one

    Dier to Coleman/Gabriel or any decent defence up to 5.0?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Your options should be: Keane, Saïss, James, Shaw. Any others are not worth your time

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Have Saiss.
        Shaw a walking injury.
        Not sure about Keane's appeal.
        James i like but want a clean sheet first and foremost.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Coleman between the two. Arsenal fixtures are quite bad after West Ham.

      There are price rises, but the expected rise %'s will be very skewed by wildcards

      No protection. Willy in.

      Wait 30-45 mins...

    McCarthy (Ryan)
    TAA Justin Egan (KWP Saliba)
    Salah Aubameyang(C) Son Saucek (ASM)
    Werner Adams Mitrovic

    I should probably replace Saliba. Who's best for 4.5?

    Or are there any other problems I need to fix? Maybe Mitro?

    Would you do VVD to either Laporte or Digne for free? Have TAA as well.

    Can double up later on when fixtures become better

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no way - VVD looks like he can score in every game.
      every set piece is aimed towards him

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers.. he’s staying then...

    2. Zimo

      Didn't laporte have corona? Is he okay now?

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go digne personally. That defence looked good and he's on setpieces but yes vandijk can score whenever he wants so a difficult decision

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years

        Thanks.

      Debating the same thing, leaning towards a save so that I have 2FTs with more data.
      Albeit risking it with triple Spurs still and no United

    5. Mr. Funny Name
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m in the exact same boat as you with TAA and VVD and I think I’m keeping both long term, both can score anytime

    Gents. A little help?

    McCarthy.
    Digne Saiss Justin XXX Mitchell
    KDB Rodriguez Bruno Willian Hendrick
    Jimmy Martial DCL

    Add a 5m defender:
    A. Gabriel
    B. Shaw
    C. Coady
    D. James
    E. Somebody else?
    Or
    F upgrade somebody else eg Hendrick to a £5.5m?

    Any opinions on
    Saka & Kane > Greenwood & Martial for -4? Or just hold out for 2FT next week?

    1. SalahFingers
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad to be honest. Might work out in your favour. Spurs don't look that hot right now.

      1. McHappy_Meal FC***
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Saka looking like he’s gonna go down in price soon and I’m not sure if I want anything to do with Mourinho’s players atm , although Kane always has potential to score a couple against anyone , it’s a tough call.

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Decent but wait for United presser.

      1. McHappy_Meal FC***
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah definitely. Wonder will Greenwood’s situation be affected with the last couple of days.

    Anyone know the score with Buur? Saw that he got subbed on in the second half. Any chance he gets a start? Who played RB for wolves?

    C) VVD to Digne

  24. Big boy Bowen

    Intetesting that only 1 pen taker shows for Everton (Siggy), wonder if Digne is second in the ranks?

    Has he took any for Everton before?

    1. Big boy Bowen

      *Interesting

      1. Big boy Bowen

        Speculation or?

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can't see the logic in that one.
      It would either be Rodriguez or Richarlison imo.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe I’m making it up but I’m sure Digne took one at one point

  25. Rhinos
    • 10 Years

    Blows my mind Bamford could be the first riser. Love the guy, top bloke off the pitch and an important part of the team but ge is a poor fpl asset

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have him on WC incase he double rises lol

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Concerning that Werner had big ice pack on leg and said movement restricted second half after knock with Ryan - is switching him to Martial a bad idea?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i wouldn't bother Chel have better fixtures

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dead leg apparently.

    3. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Either could be great

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I sold him for Bruno 😉

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I didn't like his position all the time, he dropped too deep for fpl, not for Chelsea though.

  27. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A. Shaw

    B. James

    Or

    C. Upgrade Digne to VVD

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C is the strangest suggestion ive seen for a while

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ha. Just throwing it in there to see if anyone’s awake

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

        I’m contemplating the opposite lol

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      As in. Sell Digne?!

  28. Lignja

    Bruno or Kdb this week?

    1. the dom 1

      KDB

    2. Rhinos

      how can we possibly know? Lob a dart at a board

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fixture suggests Bruno

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Got to be Bruno this week.

  29. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Something to note that the vast majority of FFS are cautious and template focused.

    It should be obvious that with 6mln rivals if you want to rank highly it kind of goes without saying that you will need to take some risks and go against the grain.

    With that in mind i present:
    Mahrez (2% owned)
    Sterling (4%)
    Aguero (4.5%)
    Rashford (5.4%)
    Pulisic (11%)
    Martial (13.3%)

  30. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rash or Bruno first choice for Penos.

    I recall Rash was first choice last season but they have Bruno listed first here.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’s Bruno now

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno takes them now
