FPL team reveal: Five-time top 1k finisher’s Gameweek 2 plans

Why would you take a hit to bring in a player that you're going to get rid of next week?

Bailey. It's a risk home to Everton but Leeds at Southampton and Newcastle fly to Brighton.

Brighton were loads more effective away last season and struggled for ages at home. Will be interesting to see if they've thrown that off.

Bailey

Bailey, can't bench Aaronson against that Southampton side and Trippier looked good against Forest, a lot of neat passes and Newcastle look solid, he was on for 2 bonus until Wilson's goal

Thanks all. Bailey it is

74% humidity, likely to rain

Conversely, gonna be harder for the Bournemouth defenders running around non-stop in that heat

Manchester will be a dry heat, if they take a drinks break and make the ball do the work City should be good.

He wouldn't come on over

Rashford to Martinelli the obvious move.

A

Trippier

A

Easy save

I'd be thinking of playing Andreas over Dalot.

Brentford decent at home. Started with a bit of a come back too. Could easily score v United in the Saturday evening encounter.

Wolves away could be tight and tricky for Fulham though.

Bailey

Bailey

Bailey. Forest got pummelled by Newcastle. Only Henderson's 7 saves saved them from total embarrassment.

Havent made any transfers myself but these pages were full of -4s for Haaland after missing the price rise

Between A and B for me

A

A

If in doubt choose the H

Probably Pereira from those

Pereira.

Probably pereira

Haven’t seen anyone bragging about successful ones on here

crap
😆

Guy in my league got 78 points. Only return off the bench was Saliba (8).

Also had Kane, Jesus, MOUNT, Rashford, Bailey, TAA in the XI and I guess he wouldn't have played Saliba over them - but wouldn't be happy with it myself.

Someone in my mini league selected a strong squad and had Bournemouth keeper, Ward Prowse, Dewsbury Hall and Mitrovic on the bench. Didn't play the chip, though.

Solid team there, liking the Bowen pick. Once he gets going I can see him mirroring last season.

Great team. Nothing to do.

Good to go good set up

Saul (C) 🙂

Great show with so many well written characters, probably after The Wire this is my favourite show of all time along with Breaking Bad.

Another monochrome masterpiece - can't see it ending well.

I recommend watching Apple's Black Bird.

Bob & Rhea really brought in their A-game this episode. The bus scene was so hard to watch.

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You

If he gets in the team a fantastic asset, at the moment probably a sell after this week if not starting. Also keep an eye on a potential price drop.

Yes.

I'd do it
Arsenal's fixtures are great

Bailey, I think. I've got him and Pereira. Pereira is 1st bench

Sounds like you've already made your mind up with Dasilva.... follow your heart

All three have merit in their own right for this particular gameweek until we know which one comes out of the block as a clear option.

Bailey- big pressure on Gerard to get a result at home you would think if they’re behind Gerard they beat Everton. However all Everton can do is defend as they’ve nothing there to attack with

Pereira- looked to be from watch motd highlights he was playing alongside mitro up front and had set pieces and corners so goals will come

You gave the argument yourself for Dasilva. Tough call. I’ve also pereira and Bailey but going to start Bailey. If villa score you would have to think Bailey would be involved if pre season is anything to work from.

Bailey

Salahåland(c)

I can’t see beyond Haaland for captaincy this week

Don’t have Haaland so will keep it on Salah

It was Sunday night so straight after the City game effectively

Or you take the risk play and look at the bigger picture and keep Kane who imo is the best captaincy option for week 3 with wolves at home. Pool away to United and city away to Newcastle. Upside is Kane EO will be low and if he hauls you’re more than covered

No, keep Mount, he's a solid option and will get points. Could have scored if not for a good Pickford save the other day

A 1 week punt for a -4 is almost never worth it

Were you talking to pep? Mahrez is playing then? I don’t see the point in taking a -4 punt on a player you don’t even know is going to start

I see Mount as one of those players you either keep all season or avoid. You know he'll end up with a decent score, but he's a bit streaky and it would be easy to jump on and off at the wrong times.

Feel like it gives you more flexibility to save, but Bowen is a great differential. NFO let up so many chances vs. NEW.

I guess it also frees up that 3rd Liverpool spot should you see yourself wanting Darwin/Robbo anytime soon.

Save. The 2FT for gw3 will put you in a better position rather than moving Diaz to Bowen

Save

Hmmm tough one, could be a nice differential and as Hazz says it opens up a Liverpool slot for you. West Ham were up against City who were really solid in possession on Sunday (even for City), but I did think West Ham were quite leggy and poor whenever they got on the ball, that might be my only worry. Not the worst idea to hold off, you'd be in an enviable position next week with 2FTs and spare cash itb

I would love to own Bowen this week. I would do it.
My team is stuck with Rash and Grealish

Gtg

Ederson to Sanchez and VVD to TAA (if on WC)

How many transfers did it take you to get there?

I get the feeling you ripped up the big Liverpool defenders for that?

Wildcard?

Bailey

Bailey

James, he is by far the better asset even if if he is facing Spurs.

James surely

James for sure

B

A

Everyone's going to say James but I think he's very benchable at CB v Spurs, even more so if Mount takes over corners

Surprised he was in the picture on Saturday, and even more surprised how well he played. Makes the Spurs wingback picks even more of a lottery.

Spurs fullbacks are too risky at the moment due to rotation risk.

In the US he's known as Emerson quarterpounder

But yeah, think the Spurs full backs may be hard to time all season with rotation a 5 subs meaning they will almost always come on/off each game

Loses his place as soon as Doherty is fit, judging by Conte's comments last week

Spurs FBs worse than Pep roulette possibly

Maybe on my WC I'll go without Salah. We'll see how the next few weeks go

You should have started with him. Same as me with Haaland . Error of judgement.

Don't have him & no plans to bring him in. Sticking with Son & Haaland as my premiums/captains

B

Im playing him, we got him knowing the risks because he’s a great player and can haul in any game

B

See Conte's post-match comments. Doesnt sound like he'll be starting yet

take him out last week

lol using WC already

Agreed, there is enough data and some great players emerging already. If you locked yourself into a particular system eg. 1 striker, then a wildcard could be the way to go. Flexibility is key, a couple of 5.0M defenders for example will let you jump on Sess, Doherty, Peresic, Cucurella etc as they emerge. The world cup wildcard definitely eases the burden of holding onto the first one this season.

I think it's far too early yet to state that a particular player, or combination of players is a trap regardless of price.

I personally wouldn't (and didn't) pick all three but they could still prove to be decent picks.

Of course you'll play/bench the wrong one some weeks but that's part of the game.
