FPL Burning Questions: Lessons learned from Gameweek 2

Sonaldo and Pras are joined by Hibbo to discuss the key points of Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), before looking ahead at the main questions heading into Gameweek 3.

A look at the Season Ticker until Gameweek 8 led to further opinions about the better fixture runs – those of Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford, Arsenal and several others.

Furthermore, there is a look into the best captaincy options as well as the teams with promising goal and clean sheets projections.

The trio are all using a 5-3-2 formation, so end by revealing their transfer plans for the weekend and beyond.

    Mbete At City … only one I see ,.. but you wouldn’t want to waste a City spot on an enabler.

      Cheers Ragabolly! Any chance Doherty becomes an option again. He was so good at the back end of last season!

      Pepe to end up at 5.0?

      Very peculiar player. Not even mentioned as a loanee.

      Not even Forest are linked with him.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He has good stats if you check fbref, if he ends up on loan in the prem he could be a great pick…

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Can’t see him going on loan in the prem. probably back to France.

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Agree France is more likely, Leicester/Newcastle would be a good fit potentially but doubt Arsenal would let him go to a prem team anyway

            1. adams_6
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Arsenal need Pepe to have a good loan season to push his value up a bit to sell him on. That transfer just didn’t work out at all. Probably more chance of him having success in Ligue 1

      2. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years

        pepe to forest

    6. Going Home
      • 12 Years

      Fingers crossed that Son punishes sellers this week

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        THIS.

    7. Twisted Saltergater

      Cheers Ragabolly.

      Had 2 FTs this week but I refuse to sell Son when he has Wolves(H), it’s madness.

    8. MissouriMarten
      • 8 Years

      Knee-jerk central so far this season.

    9. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Son fall before his haul

  5. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    RMT I wildcarded

    Sanchez
    TAA/Cancelo/Walker/James/Cucurella
    Salah/Diaz/Martinelli
    Haaland/Jesus

    Ward/Andreas/Reed/Greenwood

    0.8 ITB so can change Walker or Ccucrella to Perisic if he starts playing.

    1. RICICLE
      • 1 Year

      Template as you can possibly get. A good thing probably 🙂

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I think the template is stronger than it has ever been.

    2. Zoostation
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      If on WC I’d get Spurs coverage

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        This. Plus probably Zinchenko

  6. Hairy Cane
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is there any world out there that I captain Saka over Jesus?

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Could be one of the shrewdest moves of the weekend

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      he's due, its the type of game i can see Arsenal getting a pen in with Bournemouth parking a double decker in their box

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      There are two ways to look at this.

      1. Haaland struggled to get chances but players around him scored goals for fun. So Saka could benefit.

      2. As long as Ben White is playing Saka may not have a partner who will bomb forward and support him in attack.

    4. David Parkinson
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Owning him is testing enough, so no.

    5. Zoostation
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Bad idea

  7. TochanMama
    • 11 Years

    Mohammed vs United or Jesus vs Bournemouth?

    Who shall show us the path?

          How many of those under Conte? He seems to have flourished in the past 12 months or so

    Thoughts appreciated, on wc.
    1) sanchez, ward
    james, canc, perisic/cuc, saliba, neco
    diaz, marti, kulu, sala, andreas
    jesus, haa, 4.5

    or 2)
    sanc, ward
    james, canc, cuc, patt, neco
    barnes, marti, kulu, sala, andreas
    jesus, haa, toney

    Like balance of 1, but really want the 3rd striker playing with ability to get nunez back in down the line. Like leicester this week too

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Why not players 1 + 2 vs 3 + 4 than posting 2 whole teams mostly the same

      1. timmypnz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        newb sorry

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Keep it brief and people more likely to reply than too much text

          1. timmypnz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 1 Year

            Agreed, cheers

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Only 8m in top 10 scoring mids so far is Kulu. Multiple 8m mids looks horrible. I have none only contemplating 1 if any on WC. No Salah or TAA could be tragic

      1. timmypnz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Salah in both teams. Very nervous about TAA

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I misread Sala as Saka

  12. timmypnz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 8 months ago

    1) patterson/barnes/toney
    or
    2) saliba/diaz/archer

    Way easier!! Cheers

  13. jwilliams

  16. choco27
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Need help:
    Start Andreas or N. Williams?
    Thanx

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I'm starting both.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Start the one you have most faith in.
      I am starting Neco, but its more doen to him offering points potential both sides of the pitch, but Nottingham will probably concede. Andreas had look lovely but he is not actually showing much in terms of Fpl. Not much in it, therefore go with the one you think is best. The outcome will probably be 2 Vs 2.

  17. HollywoodXI

    So many people selling Robertson and Trent before playing United…who are terrible! Sellers to be punished this weekend.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeh, i sold Robertson.
      Could go badly.
      But i am Liverpool supporter and going 2 defs when they are not in their best shape, i cannot function. Decided that with Cancelo i then can care less. Because i care less if City concede, because i usually cheer when they do.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Robertson was practically playing as CF during the last match. But I get your logic in terms of cheering when City concede as a Pool fan.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Yep, saw the same thing with Robertson.
          Its not logic really, just that i dont want to get that extra burde when Liv concede and City dont. Should not affect my Fpl decisions, but it does, and i can rationalize it by saying City defence are in a better state than Liverpool atm. Robertson will probably match Cancelo next 5.
          So, in essence, i made a transfer to chill my nerve and get a price rice for one of the most template players you probably want, which i should have started with, but i didnt.
