Scoreboard

FPL Gameweek 3 round-up: Sunday’s goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Son Heung-min (£10.1m) and Mason Greenwood (£7.6m) both scored on Sunday, while Chris Wood (£6.9m) and Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) also found the back of the net to open their 2021/22 accounts.

However, it was a day to forget for those who handed Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) the armband, as the Portuguese picked up a booking and returned just two Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points at Molineux.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

KEY FPL TALKING POINTS

  • Son produced his second double-digit haul of the season against Watford, as his first-half free-kick made it three wins from three for Tottenham Hotspur. The South Korean international has now scored 10 goals, supplied seven assists and picked up 20 FPL bonus points in his last 19 home matches.
  • Following their 1-0 win, Spurs are yet to concede a goal this season. However, they have given up 31 shots – only Burnley (42), Arsenal (39) and Leicester City (32) have allowed more.
  • Harry Kane (£12.3m) made his return to Nuno Espirito Santo’s starting XI, but produced just one FPL point as he missed a couple of late openings on his first Premier League appearance of the season.
  • Daniel Bachmann (£4.5m) made seven saves in Gameweek 3, compared to just one across the opening two matches. Moussa Sissoko (£4.5m) also made his Watford debut, and as a result, hands FPL managers another budget midfielder to consider.
  • Wood and Bamford both found the back of the net at Turf Moor, their first goals of 2021/22.
  • Following today’s win, Manchester United are now unbeaten in their last 28 Premier League away matches (W18 D10), which is a new record for the longest unbeaten away run in English Football League history
  • Greenwood’s winner means that he has now scored three goals in as many games this season, and is three FPL points ahead of teammate Fernandes.
  • Paul Pogba (£7.7m) performed in a deeper midfield role at Molinuex today, which meant he only touched the ball once in Wolves’ penalty area and registered a single goal attempt.

INJURY WATCH

Sean Dyche made just one change to his Burnley starting XI, with Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) recovering from a toe injury to replace Jack Cork (£4.5m) in the Clarets engine room.

Diego Llorente (£4.5m) returned from injury for Leeds United, but Junior Firpo (£4.9m) and Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) were both missing with Covid.

For Wolves, Willy Boly (£4.9m) and Daniel Podence (£5.5m) returned as substitutes, while Edinson Cavani (£8.5m) arrived off the bench for Manchester United on 53 minutes, having been granted additional leave time on the back of his Copa America exploits. 

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 3

Following today’s matches, Wolves duo Adama Traoré (£6.0m) and Raúl Jiménez (£7.4m) both rank amongst the top five players for shots, with 12 each, over the opening three rounds.

The pair also feature amongst the division’s top chance creators, which does suggest that they could offer value from Gameweek 4 onwards, when their fixtures ease.

Traoré now trails only Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) for penalty area touches, with 27, a total he shares with Michail Antonio (£7.9m).

    Anyone else still holding Mahrez? I'm a glutton for punishment and thinking to hold for another 2 GWs. I just know he will haul as soon as I take him out.

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years

      I will be holding him. Mainly cause there are others I want to offload first and also hoping he will be back in the starting squad

      Issue is no way knowing what team Pep will be playing in the UCL....

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A 9m asset that hasn't started the last 2.. absolute priority to get rid imo unless you have injured starting 11 players..2 lucky returns off the bench clouding your judgement that's it

  2. dark91

    Saw some comments here mentioning that DCL and Richarlison will be rotating penalties. I checked Rafa's comments and he mentioned that 'within' the same game, DCL would take the 1st penalty and Richa the 2nd if Everton get a 2nd penalty

    1. Weak Become Heros

      Correct.

    Not sure there's ever been a more tragic and depressing content trend than watching celebrity managers watch football

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’m sure there is. Easy enough to ignore.

      You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about podcasts and videos created about FPL.

      Hope you find peace with it all.

        love Blackbox, enjoy fml fpl, bits of scout. It's fair enough to be critical of it, the landslide of content makes it a harder and more time consuming task to identify the stuff that has value

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      This isn't a thing, surely?!

      Gogglebox for FPL.

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Googlebox is actually great though. Gogglebox features a number of fun personailties and the TV aspect is just a foil for them. FPL watchalong content is the equivalent of watching a sad drunk playing a fruit machine.

      Celebrity managers haha what? My nephew gets more people watching him play roblox on twitch.

      This is still a very small niche area of the Internet.

  4. _Gunner

    Barnes > Traore for FT

    Yes or No?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not me. Traore is going nowhere near my team until he does something that gets points.

      I’m interested in Podence once he gets up to fitness.

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      Game yesterday was hilarious. He absolutely destroyed them but looked about as likely to score as a goalkeeper

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Literally the perfect summary of him haha

    3. Snooze ya lose

      No

  5. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this 4-3-3? Lukaku may become CR7 of course.

    Raya
    TAA, Shaw, Reguilon, Coady
    Salah, Son, Benrahma
    Lukaku, DCL, Antonio

    (Gunnarsson, Allan, Gilmour, Livramento)

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son +4.5 > Torres + Greenwood/Jota ?

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Could do Son + 4.5 > Jota + Torres? Not sold on Torres long term though.

  6. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I’ve sold Shaw and Trent on WC to squeeze in Lukaku, Ronaldo, Salah and Son. Thoughts?

    1. Aadii
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If you squeeze all four of them in, rest of your team gonna loose balance.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        True. Defence looks weak. Front 7 looks epic.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Get them back and lose Ronaldo/Son

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Son is the one I’m debating. Dropped to a 4.5m means Trent and Shaw back in.

      2. Aadii
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I am waiting for CR7 fpl price reveal before i make any decision. I have pogba salah son dcl antonio and wilson. Thinking of getting wilson and son out for cr7 if the price is right.

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking about dropping Son tbh. Same pattern is emerging with Santo of low scoring games and sod all happening in the first half. He looks a fairly solid pick but it's just unspectacular. If they don't start scoring more goals those blanks are going to hurt without big scores to justify holding

  7. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts here? 2ft 4.0itb

    Guaita
    Reguilon Cresswell Lowton
    Salah Son Grealish Barnes Raphinha
    Ings Antonio

    4.0 Tsimi* Fernandez Davis

    Barnes, Tsimikas and Grealish probably need to go soon in that order. Good plan to do Tsimikas to someone now, and save 1ft to end of IB? Cheers

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Gd plan if you can hold afford any price rises/falls

  8. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So i saw tweets saying Ronaldos medical is done. What else is needed before he's added to the game?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They are delaying it just to wind you up more at this stage mate

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        🙁

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      When he becomes a United player. Same rules as for any other player

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Is he not now? Personal terms were agreed. Medical is done. Fee is agreed. What else is needed?

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Is this a serious question

        2. waldo666

          Registration.

            Thankyou

        3. JUNITED
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          As long the club haven’t announce it then it’s not official. So far the club had only announced agree deal fee with Juventus.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      There’s no hurry - not yet confirmed as United player. Probably sometime Tuesday/Wednesday I would guess

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    If/when ings drops and dcl rises it will mean I’m priced out of him

    Do you think it’s safe to move early given his knock?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry that’s incorrect just saw ings is 8.1 so I’m safe for 1 drop even if dcl goes to 8.3 (0.3 itb)

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      On balance it is a bad idea to make transfers because you will be priced out imo. So many things can happen in the interim, not least to the other ten players you have

  10. JUNITED
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bruno vs Trent, which option is better?

    A) Bruno Matip & 6.0 FOR or MID
    OR
    B) Mount Trent & 8.0 FOR or MID

  11. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine if Ronaldo is added 2 minutes before the deadline.

    1. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He has to be registered before the transfer window closes so he gets added before the next weekend for sure

  12. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years

    Bamford or Calvert lewin??

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      CL

  13. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What to do here chaps? (Won’t do anything after IB)

    Pickford
    Shaw White TAA Cresswell
    Mahrez Son Bruno Benrahma Greenwood
    Antonio

    4.0 Wilson Amartey 4.5

    1 FT

    A) Wilson Mahrez ➡ DCL Torres -4
    B) Wilson Mahrez ➡ Lukaku Gray -4
    C) save FT

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Granted, Mahrez is a great differential when he starts. Foden, Kdb, Sterling and Jesus being an option wide doesnt help though

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Not sure your team link works!

    Would you WC this team? 0 ft

    Sanchez
    Dias VVD Coufal

    Kane Antonio

    Foster Veltman Amartey 4.5

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      I’d WC to your team

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate.

        Having no Salah is the main issue here. Also whom would you choose between Kane and Lukaku?

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Lukaku

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I don’t have Salah either and that’s my main concern too but cannot have them all

          I’d go with Lukaku

          1. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers

    2. The FPL Units

      Yes

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, can you please expound on the reason?

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Absolutely wouldn't WC it based on there being any problems in it. Would I WC it based on timing now, maybe

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

      When Salah is uncertain to play gw4, is it really time to WC to get him in?!?

  15. 03farmboy

    How has torres gone up in price already?? Anyone else think the price rise and drop happens too quickly

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They're actually slower than last year imo.

  16. akhilrajau

    Any suggestions for arsenal players? Fixtures looks good

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Avoid for now until they show form. A lot of things not right atm.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No. Get a Wolves player instead

    3. The Train Driver

      I'm stuck with ESR and White so might as well use them. Hoping for a bounce back vs Norwich.

    So tempted to WC. Mainly for Ron and Lukaku.

    Sanchez
    TAA Reguilon White
    Salah Bruno Son Barnes Benrahma
    Antonio Toney

    Marcal Tsimikas

    1 FT.

    1. Rasping Drive

      Team is fine. Lose Barnes and you’re sorted. You can switch to Lukaku GW7, sacrificing Bruno.

  21. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    FPL will add Ronaldo when personal terms are agreed!

    Currently they’re only agreed in principle.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Personal Terms were agreed unofficially already but I can understand they are waiting for official confirmation. His medical was done yesterday so not long to go.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        I thought their tweet said that’s what they were waiting for but it also says ‘deal finalised’

  22. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What price do we think Ronaldo will be at?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      12.5m FWD

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That was my first thought but I believe he could come in less than that

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      same as Bruno

  23. JUNITED
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone thinking Ings to Jimenez? Wolves are playing good football but just not clinical enough and surely they will score or even winning penalty. But Jimenez doesn't look as sharp as he used to be.

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’d rather Trincao of any of their attack.

      Defence looks solid though. Rather buy a defender and save the attacking spaces for better attacking teams.

      1. JUNITED
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Why Trincao over Jimenez?

        I was thinking about buying their defense but the one thing they are impressive is not their defense but the fact they like to shoot and create chances. It's just their decision making and finishing are lacking.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Trincao just looked to be more involved and in better positions. Jimenez was near anonymous.

          They looked alright yesterday because they were able to counter attack. That won’t be the case when they aren’t playing top 6 teams every week.

          But they have a very stubborn and hard to break defence. They definitely have clean sheets in them, holding both Spurs and United to just 1 goal and few clear cut chances.

          Only United City Spurs Chelsea (and Brentford) have conceded fewer.

          Clean sheets will come. Goals I’m still not convinced.

          1. JUNITED
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Fair enough. Just to add for that, Trincao makes so many poor decision making in my opinion. I think Jimenez would have get involved more if Trincao makes the right decision, Podence could improve in this department.

            They had the same problem vs Nottingham Forest, they created chances but struggled to score. They only managed to score in late 2nd half, although, they scored 4.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Saiss?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He hauled for me GW1 and was close to score yesterday. Jimenez simply didn't pass eye test for me. And I have doubts about that thing in his head. It just can't make scoring headed goals easier.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          That was naturally last season when Saiss hauled. But then he got rotated.

    3. Andy_Social

      I think the goals will come soon enough. I liked Trincao a lot but he's the one who made way for Podence.

        Even "if and when" they will, opportunities were spread. If that is an issue with MCI who sometimes score for fun, it's a nightmare in team that scores like Shu last season.

        You mean Trincao could be not nailed? Gosh. He’s one of the best prospects in the League,. Potency is quick and technically gifted but I don’t see him sidelining Trincao. Or did I misunderstood you?

          One of the Wolves fans I know last week after the match vs Nottingham Forest told me Podence should get into XI soon. I'm guessing either Trincao or Traore will make way for it.

    Team set up doesn’t really work with two premiums up front

    Antonio is going nowhere, there is also DCL and Jimenez with great fixtures

      Throw Bamford and the odd Ings/Wilson in the mix. And I am struggling to find a spot for even one premium

      Yeah, I think these players need fixtures as well to be value, I see Chelsea setting up tight in the big games and scoring 1 or 2, not going to destroy teams

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Raphina, Benrahma
    Ings, Toney, Antonio

    Bench: Ayling, Tsimikas, Brownhill
    FT: 2, Bank: 1.1m

    any transfer suggestions

    Mahrez to Gray done earlier in the week and have £4m in the bank

    Just waiting for Ronaldo to be priced 12m or less to avoid a -4.

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Livramento
    Salah Bruno Benrahma Gray
    Ronaldo (c) Antonio Toney

    1. Davidwes

      Did buendia—> Gray yesterday. Expecting Ronaldo to be 12,5 and would take a minus 4 for me if i want to do mahrez, Ings—-> Esm and Ronaldo

    2. AddyK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      play for team value on a wildcard today, this needs major overhauling

  28. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years

    Buendia to Gray the right call? Will give me this team and 0.9 ITB for GW4:

    Bachmann
    TAA Shaw Livra
    Salah Bruno Son Raph Gray
    Antonio Toney

    Foster Ayling Tsimi Scarlett

    Who would you pick out of:
    A) Sarr
    B) Traore
    C) Gray
    D) Another

    1. Davidwes
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably traore but broght in gray myself for the extra 0,5

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking of going for Sarr. I don't think he'll be all that much cop over a season but he looks v tempting for the next few games

    3. OLDHERMAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sarr without a doubt.
