Burning Questions: Lessons learned from FPL Gameweek 1

Sonaldo and Pras are joined by Baker to discuss the key points of Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), before looking ahead at the main questions heading into Gameweek 2.

Specifically, there is a chat on budget midfield options Leon Bailey (£5.0m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m), both of whom entered the weekend with over 15% ownership but blanked in disappointing defeats.

Spurs fan Baker spent time discussing whether to hold or sell Ivan Perisic (£5.5m), as well as revealing the transfer he made on Sunday night to avoid being hurt by price changes.

    If my moves planned by the end of GW3 are
    Son White Neto
    To
    Martinelli cancelo kulusevski (-4)
    Does it make sense to do the first two moves this weekend for a hit & use FT to do Neto to kulu GW3?

      yeah i think i would, alternatively you can just cap Salah if you have him, he will be something of a differential this week plus he plays in the 8pm Monday night KO, so it will be a lot cooler than what Haaland has to play in, i.e 32+ degrees Celsius

    Armband on Haaland, but sure he will start and play long enough? Good debut, easy fixture, could it be he gets rested?

    Because Salah is a lot certain to start and play majority of the minutes.
    For now I feel like sticking with Haaland just because everyone else is.

      Not a chance he will be rested in his home debut. Played under 80 minutes last week, in the first game of the season and had 6-7 days of rest.

    So are people here expecting Salah to blank vs Palace?

    The way I see it, he will play more minutes vs Palace than Haaland vs Bournemouth & it’s a Monday Night game just in case Haaland grabs only 7 points on Saturday, you can hope for something bigger from Salah.

    Sterling certainly expects his minutes to go back up.

    Reported in Telegraph Sport.

    Raheem Sterling would not elaborate on the reasons why he felt Guardiola’s attitude towards him changed: “Me and the manager and the people at the club know exactly what the reasons were,” he said. “I tried to play my football and overcome the situation but it couldn’t be done so I had to move on.”

    “It [the diminished role] was a big surprise. It was a massive surprise … a change of events, all of a sudden. It’s something I had to handle and that’s why I’m here.”

    Despite his objection to being marginalised, Sterling was still selected by Guardiola for the Champions League final against Chelsea in Porto last year, playing 77 minutes before his substitution. Nevertheless, the data does bear out his assertion that he was playing a smaller role in the biggest European games at City.

    In the 2018-2019 season he played every minute of the four games over two rounds that City played in the competition. The following season that average fell to 65 minutes; then 35 minutes in 2020-2021and 50 minutes last season.

    Overall, Sterling’s remarkable consistency meant that he never featured in fewer than 46 games across a season for seven years straight at City. That said, his match-time minutes were down this season - 3,088 over 47 games. Previous to that under Guardiola his lowest total had been 3,567 minutes in the 2017-2018 season and his highest, the following year was in excess of 4,000.

    Doing some forward planning and interested to get thoughts ahead of GW2...

    Planning to get an 8.0m mid in next week, and then a 7.0 defender the week after. Which combo below to you prefer?

    A) Saka (bou, FUL, AVL, mun, EVE, bre) + Robbo (BOU, NEW, eve, WOL, che)

    B) Saka + Cancelo (CRY, NFO, avl, TOT, wol)

    C) Diaz + Cancelo

    Leaning towards A I think.
