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.

              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

      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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

          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.
