Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 3 preview and team reveal

Maybe Andreas as he's at home

Andreas.

Probably doesn't matter. Andreas will get auto-subbed anyway.

definite Andreas Pereira for me

C

C

C

Aaronson. If in doubt put your money on the field.

Everton will score so it all depends on who you think will get an attacking return and I back Aaronson over the other two.

B

B with Rodrigo

A

I think A is a good option.

I like A. Those next few Spurs fixtures look tasty and Walker should be easy CS points

scratch that, he hasn't even played any minutes 😀

Not a bad strategy at all. Leicester kept 7 clean sheets last season, even with European fixtures and injuries. Expect them to keep at least the same. That is 130 points.

Having said that, if you could play the fixtures and pick the correct 4.5 options throughout the calendar, you may get 160-180 points for just a 0.5m extra. But, picking the correct 4.5 option is not so easy and it costs a few transfers.

Almost identical to my W.C. except I have downgraded Cancello to Walker to allow for Raya over Iverson and Zinchenko over Saliba.. I just couldn't W.C. and have the Leicester guys in the sticks.

Personally I’m starting perisic over bailey. But generally good to go.

Williams

I would say B

Yeah, I agree. Rodrigo could be a bargain.

A

Personally, I would go Gross.

A imo

Trippier absolutely capable of an attacking return but 99% guaranteed Newcastle concede

Looks good to me. Liverpool are a bit short on centre backs and thin in midfield. Those next few Spurs fixtures look good too and Mahrez is too much of a rotation risk for me

I've gone:
Start. Neco
1. Pereira
2. Neto

It’s going to end in tears.

Not true it will be more likely;

Bruno, Casemerio, Eriksen

Looks to me like Varane all over again

I hope when he says he "wants a new challenge" what he really means is he's tired of training so hard in Real and wants a few well-paid banter years. Best case scenario

It'll be Fred - Casemiro - Eriksen/Bruno

no james? you got two lfc defenders?

Out of those two, I like a best, as leicester are horrible defending.

Id go B

A for me, both Brentford and Brighton fixtures look good for a few clean sheets

a zinchenko and mendy
b saliba and ederson

thank you

Similar to an earlier draft of my own. However, I decided against as does not easily allow for one of the many 8.0m mids that are likely to be in everyone's Teams. Too many to list, but Diaz, Kuku, Mount, Madds for starters.
Also Dasilva will rise again tonight so selling to take profit and for a 4.4/4.5 mid to sit on bench

Would start Andreas over Trippier

Downgrade Doherty, then upgrade Bailey.
Rest is fine. Start Andreas this week for Trippier.

Coleman, not sure if he will come straight back in, or when.

What age is Coleman...37,38? Surely he's got the job.

I could see Coleman playing on right side of back 3 with Patterson (holgate makeway with Tark/Coady). Playing well. Showing heart and skill. Looks born to be a blue TBH.

I think he’s pretty nailed tbh…..Coleman is about 50 years old and not really who you want playing wing back. Unless they buy someone he’s a good option at 4.0 I reckon.

Eze for me

Neco

No brained, unless you want another 2 point haul.....Neco

Thanks ! Backed up my gut feeling

With Jimmy back and Romero out for Spurs I've got a feeling Wolves might get something out of that game. Can be wrong though. Playing Neto myself.

I think it's more that the alternatives are even worse

He's honestly looked electric, taking shots etc.

Very happy to start him even if it's a case of necessity

Got to pick between one of Neco, Bailey and Andreas. They all have a ceiling of about 5 points. Neco just the best of a bad bunch imo.

Been that way all week tbf…..set pieces, crosses into the box, touches in the box, shots at goal blah blah after his good showing in the last (home) game. Nope they won’t keep a clean sheet although to be fair they are playing Everton 😆 which I guess accounts for the interest. I’d bench in favour of Andreas if he’s fit tbh.

It's the nailed and attacking 4.0m defender that people are loving :). Will likely pick up the odd probably unexpected cleanie as well as attacking points.

absolutely no

can we see what you're wildcarding from?

oh this is your wildcard? sorry haha

Rodrigo vs Groz

I'd want to wait for a bit more data before using my wildcard. Basing a wildcard decision on 2 game weeks isn't for me

If you’re going with A I would choose Gabriel personally

B

cheers both

I'd say equal to, only thing is might need a transfer used earlier when Laporte is fit again

Higher points potential but big risk of losing his spot when Laporte is back so shorter term option than Walker.

Brazilian Ronaldo next!

...and who's this Alfredo Di Stéfano fellow they've got their eye on?

C

I'd be on C if I had him but as I don't, B

Jesus for me and here's why. He was electric pre-season and he's going to Bournemouth off the back of a spectacular 19 pointer against Leicester. Haaland disappointed most of us last weekend and he now plays against an improving team with an impressive home record since they turned the corner last January. Salah has been frustrating since AFCON and has possibly become a little to predictable to opposition defenders imo.

you have a funny name so will reply again : a

b

B as I think you’re too defense heavy and need that 8.0 midfield slot to give you some flexibility / balanced squad

B

None really needed but Gabriel to Walker and Neto to Rodrigo could be options

Yes because they play Bournemouth, Everton and Wolves afterwards.

Usually I'd just keep as you know they're always going to come good. I think they may be suffering with no Thiago defensively though so could be open to losing Robbo given I already have TAA. Would probably only be to facilitate bringing in an extra Liverpool attacker though.

Low chance imo
