FPL Gameweek 1: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus and stats

Put Bailey on bench and just get a new 5m def

You brought one or more Villa players in for a reason so stick with your instinct - couple of decent fixtures ahead. 1 week not enough to make decision to sell

Yes

Kane blanking in August? Never!

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH Kane is Able. Jesus will comeback from the dead and when the cockerel crows, Son will rise over Mount

Nobody cares

If ever I saw an early wildcard needed, this is it..

Yes decent enough team. Far too early to consider WC before week 1 has even finished

Oh…. You’re one of those

I like it big up top

Easy fix, take the hit, start n.williams
Kane > fodder
Neto > De Bruyne
Triple wammy city v bou at home, jobs a goodin

Same premiums, will you consider Kane to Nunez?

It banks you 2.5 million and you’ll only likely captain Salah & Haaland anyways.

Kane has an awful record against Chelsea,switch him to Darwin

Neto to De Bruyne Kane to Mitrovic

He passed the ball to Nunez and he scored it.

Don't worry lad I seen it too, ball hits the defender then somehow Nunez still flicks it in. Think it's still an assist in fpl though if the cross in clips a defender

Clear assist, don't get the confusion.

Yep

Chasing this week’s points anyway

Ward will

Have both Leicester GK so should be one of them

Someone said he been given No1 shirt, good if true?

50/50

We?

We already have

Keep Darwin. Loved the goal his scored. This guy is going to eat defenders and GK's alive.

He looks fit to survive

Maybe wait until haaland actually plays first

Might do kane to Darwin, Son to kdb but could all change after citeh game. Haaland hobbling off would be a game changer

Last few years there have been no price moves until all GW1 games played. I’m holding off on any transfers until tomorrow night.

I think most of us got Kane because we anticipated Spurs to score bundles of goals Vs Saints. They did, so we were right. But some times the striker is not involvred in any of them. Does not mean it was a bad choice.

Reply fail

No midweek games

Do it now, you know you want to

Jump!

The Plange, the Plange!

I have Patterson but on FFS predicted line up video the other day they said Coleman might replace him as soon as next week

*Coutinho

As a Villa fan I wouldn't touch him. He shouldn't even be guaranteed starter imo

Good question

I believe you only did it because you had the extra cash?

From team? Should not have got Coutinho instead of Bailey, only did it cause I had the extra cash….and maybe Haaland over Kane 😉

Mount

kept Maddison instead of getting Mount

None - even though I’m not doing very well, and have a template squad so will be harder to make the ground up.

Easy to say now I should have gone Trips and Kulu instead of Mount and Digne but I know I had my reasons at the time.

I didn’t agonise for weeks over a squad to be immediately results orientated after 1 GW

Kane over Salah

Should have stuck to my guns and started with Darwin but I still managed a decent score anyway.

I knew I'd want Nunez so trying to fit him in was going to be an issue, yet I was smart I'm saying that if I had someone I really wanted like him that I had a Liverpool spot free and I had 3 premiums so I had easier ways to him than if I went a different way and spread the money. Kane perhaps wasn't the wisest move in hindsight, early days of course but perhaps something should have entered my thinking in that Spurs still don't have much creativity in midfield yet they now have better attacking outlets around Kane like Richarlison, Perisic and Sessegnon, so the reliance on him to score is diminished but that creative force is needed. I had concrete plans to roll FT but I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get Nunez for him. I didn't get Jota through his good run last year nearly through stubbornness but I felt that, even though he's not a great finisher, Nunez will bang in goals with the positions he gets into.

bench boosting with 3 Villa! Trying to be too clever lol

Chilwell taken off early. James made so many passes and whipped in loads of completely useless crosses from frees and corners

Chilwell was actually pretty invisible all game. Only foray into the box got that assist. Cucurella was much better in his short appearance.

You do realise you’re nude?

*note to self, never captain Kane in easy looking home games as he has a tendency to troll

He was already essential

I agree. Lots of knee jerking with Jesus and Diaz out and Mitrovic, Darwin and Kulu in - it’s based on points not performance. I’m happy to save for the week

fpl towers love salah, its a real factor you should consider when making ur picks (account for the corruption)

It's one GW, all sorts of volatile randomness can happen. What I would say re. Salah, he got into the right areas to make those impacts - there's no fluke in that.

Such is football. Jamming a goal is a skill in itself.

If Salah can still get 10 points from a shite performance then he’s absolutely essential.

Remember his hauls in GW1 last year against Norwich and Leeds the year before? Against Leeds he had 2 penalties and a shot after a poor clearance with nobody near him in the box. Something similar last year. It's what he does, he just knows the positions and when to be there.

You are showing your erse

the latter, Johnson is too expensive to bench

N&N

Kane (C) was the icing on the cake for me today.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Kane's Son was Enoch

Get some sleep

Sleep

Chasing points and taking a -8 on a 35 pointer game week is madness.

Sit tight and roll the free transfer. Robbo and Saka could easily haul next week.

you're doing better than me (30pts 3 to go) but yeah those transfers are not needed, i might actually buy Saka this week so i don't get why you'd sell him, or Robbo

Sleep on it. Sunday's games might give you food for thought as well.

Go big, -16

How can you sleep with that team tormenting you?

Geez, at least make them supply the spoon

Brought in Mitro for Greenwood. Scoring 42 goals last season and playing in a team that plays to his strengths he could be an awesome buy. But yes it could go downhill but I’m happy to give it a risk

I’m praying for a Bowen hat-trick lol

64 with Bowen to come.

Can't see City keeping a clean sheet tomorrow tbh

Shocker implies its unexpected which I think is overstating things quite a bit

I definitely warned the 5 at the backers in a post last week, 3 at the back, Jesus (still looked gr8 even without a goal) and all the money in midfield, only way to start fpl. 51 and a ward cs to come

If they had a striker the game would not have ended 0-1

Plenty of effort, but never looked like scoring and I think that'll be the theme for them this season. Dele Alli was brought on to try and rescue a point, poor guy has completely lost his mojo

Literally no quality at Everton, they are going to get relegated, Chelsea just didn't play very well

Cheers all...

Gordon was decent, lots of endeavour but with no DCL they're reall6 going to struggle until he's back or they manage to sign someone

Better than Chelsea except at the important bit

Both teams were shocking tbh

*Non obvious

nobody really, i'm interested to see how Keane Lewis-Potter 5.5m mid gets on tomorrow for Brentford as some sites reckon he could start upfront alongside Toney

Did you say Aaronsen?

I have my eye on Alex Morgan

One*

Because of bloody kneejerkers like you i have to make my move as soon as possible

The KneeJerk Store called, they’re running out of you!

LOL it can go either way you just never know. I prefer taking the risk most of the time it makes it more exciting when ur playing FPL. Mitro is the top player being transfered into I’m happy……..for now haha

He had a great day ; but TAA basically gave him the first and the second was a dive that I’m perplexed how VAR didn’t correct. If he gets that lucky week in week out I’ll be shocked.

Obviously

Why would you sell? Looked good - goal could easily have been his and upcoming fixtures are nice

Could easily have been a 14 pointer.

U obviously didn't watch the game

Better value than Kane!

Had loads of chances

Get rid and prepare the tears.

But Salah alone got us 24... oh.

Why did u bench salah?

I'm on 51 with the same lot except no Ward left.

Sounds like you're in good shape!
