Which FPL players were on set-piece taking duties and penalties in Gameweek 1?

I have barnes and I think I’ll hold and assess for at least one more gw

1 GW is such a small sample, knee jerking at it's finest.

I have Greenwood & Mahrez so will monitor this week and might do Greenwood & Mahrez to 6-6.5m mid & Son in GW3.

Normally I'd say hold Barnes, but it if you really want Son and that's the only way to fund it, then it's worth considering at least.

Surely for Mahrez or any other City assets, it's a case of don't buy don't sell. Stick to the plan.

As you said Barnes has nor GW3 so it's a keep for me.

I have Mahrez and I am fully expecting to sell ahead of GW3 in order to get Bruno in. Going to give him Norwich and cross my fingers that him and Greenwood both start in GW2!

I have Barnes and holding for 1 more GW.

The problem is Barnes is having Norwich GW3, the week when I thought of switching him for Son while swapping Toney for 4.5m FWD

I have them both and I have £1m itb so really not worried about getting Son. I actually have my doubts about Son when Spurs face low block opposition. The question is Barnes to a 6.0 would definitely be on route to get a premium striker which I think will be the case

Have both and will keep Barnes for a while. West ham and Norwich should yield some success. Gw3 do Martinez to a 4.5 keeper and mahrez to son.

Find 0.5m more to get Son

hold then double move to get in Bruno/Sancho

He’s not that much of a problem is he? Should start vs Norwich in what is an unbelievable fixture for City.

Mahrez nearly scored yesterday.

Perhaps switch Ings up to Lukaku around GW4 by dropping Mahrez to a 6m mid like Sarr or Harrison

So I'm planning a bit of hokey cokey, which might not be for everyone.

Salah to Bruno and Mahrez to mid price of choice for GW3.
Son to Salah for GW5.

Team looks great I would be holding this week for certain.

Sancho could be a great option if he looks really good against Southampton - might mean non-Bruno owners can get away with it by doing Mahrez -> Sancho.

Soucek

Easy - ta all, expect Chilwell to start vs Arsenal so prob right call

Nah, he's terrible

Too early to say. Smith isn't great with telling the truth with player injury updates

No

horrible move

I would do it if the price swing is 0.2. If Barns won't drop, I'll hold. I was eying up Benrahma for gw 3, feel so depressed because of the price rise now.

nope

If you must but not based on one week, Barnes is a solid pick and Leicester a decent outfit. Could you do other moves to get Benrahma?

I think it depends on what you plan to do the with the funds. Considering it this week as want to move Mahrez to Son the following week. Will likely hold though. Having Bertrand back would likely benefit Barnes.

No need

Yes to Ayling, who was perhaps unlucky to miss out on several attacking returns last season.

No to Schmeichel, not worth the extra money.

Has there been a recent injury update from Klopp?

Hopefully gets a 0.2 rise before I sell him then…

As expected. Good for people who have him already 😉 Get those price rises and clean sheet points to boot.

He could be 3.8 by GW10!

Anticipating Casual moves is part of playing this game

i really dont get all this barnes selling posts. He's a great fpl option with a good attacking fixture up next.

Easily B

I have Barnes and I'm keeping him, but I can understand the move to a 6.0. First because they did really well (Benrahma, Fornals, Soucek, Sarr, Bergwijn) plus Harrison and Willock for example and second because frees up cash for other moves in the next GWs, moves to Son and/or Lukaku for example.

A

Antonio and Raphinha

None really. Maybe Sarr.

agreed, and Mahrez

Richarlison

Probably Greenwood and Son

Benrahma, maybe even old love Soucek.

Bruno

Doucoure — playing a more advanced role - more box to box than Ancellotti who had him more holding/defensive. Could be a snip if he's in that position for the forseeable (can't really see why he wouldn't given the current lack of firepower). I'd imagine he'll outscore Sarr/Benrama etc as the service with Digne/Coleman/Richarlison/Townsend is arguably going to be better than Watford/Hammers.

His more attacking role hinted at before the match: https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2212661/doucoures-new-midfield-role

Agree on both of those. I also want Sarr.

Son and Shaw.

Not enough for Son without getting rid of TAA, who could come close to marching Son anyways, and thought I’d start with Digne as I didn’t want to overload on players in the United v Leeds game.

Got away with being Shawless this week, but I’m not stupid and I know that unless Digne starts getting returns pretty quickly Shaw is likely going to punish me.

Son

Of course

Dallas to Sarr imo. Great fixtures up to gw7

Who benefits?

Is it not the % owned vs. % bought in that dictates the rise? So relative to ownersip before the GW begins. In other words a player with 1000 managers would probably see .2 if 1m managers bring him in. I'd imagine his ownership at GW1 KO was 25/30% (Guess).

The price rises are relative to the ownership, but they can't be directly proportional. If a player scores a hattrick, is the second most transferred in player and doesn't get a price rise then it would feel more "rigged" to me. How many bruno in transfers would you be happy with triggering a rise?

Not sure what you mean by "rigged" as that implies that there's some sort of rule they *won't* manipulate price rises to work however they please. It's not like the way price rises work is designed to be transparent.

or just leave alone. Unless some really cheap attackers and midfielders appear as enablers, it's hard to get 3x ultra premium in. I think Salah, Bruno and Son is about the most you can do.

No Lukaku for. Cant have them all and i dont want to blow up my team

I guess. But I wouldn't mind if there are Chilwell and/or James on offer. But that probably means no Lukaku for me before I wildcard.

Try and get the rest of your squad set as soon as possible and then try hopping from premiums depending on fixtures and when you will captain them.

But I do think when Chilwell becomes available he should be able to keep pace with TAA for 1.5 less

Can't have them all, same if Kane moves to City. It's good for the game to have more premium options, means you have to decide between them so the template begins to be harder to set in stone

Lukaku's fixtures tell me not before gw7.

Lingard affected his potential last season. If Lingard is going to feature for West Ham this season again (dependant on transfer) then it will be another reason to monitor Benrahma

Lingard is gone and there is room for him

Many of us have had a very keen eye on him. I waited for a season for him to teeth. From what you’re saying I assume you didn’t watch much of him in the Championship; but trust me, this guy is sick.

I assume you are talking about buying him here? Looks red hot from what I saw yesterday. Playing no. 10 in an attacking West Ham team means he’s likely to remain among the points.

I wouldn't worry about the negatives of possible injuries and Europa games after GW4. There are good alternatives in that price bracket so not difficult to move away.

Lingard isn't there this season so Benramha's spot is much more secure.

He had a very good season with Brentford in C'ship but, like many players, needed time to settle in PL. It looks like he has developed well. Sure, Antonio might get injured or West Ham's form might dip when they play Europa. But he's only 6.0, not a 12.0 premium. It's a bit much to be letting future hypothetical situations put you off a nailed 6.0 attacker in great form with good fixtures in a top 6 side.

He effectively played in Lingard's role, almost as a false 9 a lot of the time where Antonio would shift wide left to make space for him, and whenever Antonio is out he might play up top

not getting carried away but looks like this seasons value pick

if there is one bandwagon from GW1 that looks like its worth hopping onboard, its him

Its not a dilemma if you don't think he will do well. Just don't bring him in.

Best piece of advice I saw was forget about ownership and just pick the players you think will get the most points.

People can have an opinion on who they think will do well but ultimately only yours matters when it comes to your team.

Grealish - Gundo may not be available this weekend

Guno injured his shoulder.

Monitor Gundo injury

Wait for an injury update

Keep for now...

KDB is always back well before pep suggests he might be.

A

A - no need for the hit with B

How can you do wilson to torres without a hit? a hit would be madness after that start with those fixtures.

Torres is a mid, but even if he wasn't I'd hold, Wilson has decent fixtures, Villa didn't look good at the back and Willock will be available which helps Wilson

sorry I have made a mistke, though Torres was a FWD.

Ignore,sorry lads thanks for the correct.

Save FT it is

Forres is listed as a mid, so that transfer isnt even possible.

Probably roll it, you'll have more options with 2 transfers next week and more data to base a decision off.

yeah hold. then take a -4 to get him in 3 if you need to.

Easy hold.

Just WC and get lukaku too

they said the same after the charity shield!

Or they'll be laughing when he's inevitably benched

Pep will roulette the s%*&e out of that team.

I'm tempted to captain him but it's probably too big a risk with Bruno and Mo in good form.

I hope so, just needed 3 points from him to make it to 100 for the GW. Couldn't even manage that.

This place will be full of "Why did I sell Mahrez (15 pts) for Benrahma (1 pt), FML!"

Why do you want Mount now? Chelsea's fixtures don't seem too tempting to me.

Mahrez

Fans will argue it preserves his transfer value...

I really think Arsenal have lost the plot. I will never understand how they think Willock is not good enough considering the team they put out Friday and now this.

we haven't seen Lukaku at chelsea yet, and we know all about Salah and Bruno, so at the moment it's Lukaku.

I'm playing the fixtures. Bruno has tough fixtures GW7-11, that's the time to have Lukaku over him.

I'm going Salah, Son, Lukaku, at least for a while and might move Salah to KDB or Kane depending on circumstances. Bruno, Salah and Lukaku/Kane/KDB is pushing it a bit too much IMO, it'll be too top-heavy

He was fine. Goals to come.

He played very well but was doing more work around the pitch than up top, he was making a nuisance of himself in the air, put in a few tackles and blocks and pressing too. Even then he still put through Mbeumo with a nice flick, I imagine that was tactical for that game and in games against teams like Palace he'll be back up front. Brentford were also missing a few players in midfield too which might have added to that need

thanks

Very good. He'll come good

Roy Keane had him as his MotM

Looks like a premier league player. He had to work deeper against Arsenal because they kept the ball but everything he did he did well. Palace is a big test for him and Brentford

Hard to say that was the worst game in that gw and arsenal looked super poor

Definitely keeping Raphinha. Don't know about Barnes.

Hold

Raphinha had a tough fixture, so wasn't surprised by the blank. booking was annoying and looked like a walking red card towards the end. The sitter he missed late on was even more annoying. He was always a longer term pick for me, so not worried yet.

trusting them to bounce back

Prefer to hold Barnes and roll the FT. Hopefully Bertrand is back available in GW2. Better combo down the left side

Have both, keeping both. Raphinha was poor but I expect a response from Leeds against Everton at home and from him in particular, didn't see Leicester but Barnes is still working his way to full fitness and next two are promising. If he does nothing in those then maybe I'll drop him but will give him at least those 2

Raph I'm not too concerned about, Barnes gets until the Norwich game.

None of em played bad. Its one gw you expect all to return every gw?

Jesus to warm up

or KDB false 9, or sterling false 9, such a minefield.

just hoping Grealish starts.

A til Ings gets injured.

Thinking same but will wait til i see lukaku can score goals
