Scoreboard

FPL Gameweek 1: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus points + stats

17 August 2024 620 comments

Skonto Rigga

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back! And so with it comes all the associated agony and occasional ecstasy.

At the end of Saturday’s Gameweek 1 action, our Scoreboard rounds up all the action.

Included in this article are the day’s leading teams and players for shots, chances created and expected goals (xG). This is official Opta data taken from our Premium Members Area.

These stats are available for our subscribers immediately after full-time in every Premier League game.

Meanwhile, the attacking returns and projected bonus points are from LiveFPL.

We say ‘projected’ bonus but it should really also be ‘current’. The Bonus Points System is being slightly revised this season, which you can read about here.

“FPL managers should be aware that as of this season, all points are only final approximately one hour after the LAST MATCH of the Gameweek, meaning points and bonus points earned on a previous day are subject to change.” – Fantasy Premier League

So, tweaks can still be made until after Monday night’s clash at the King Power.

We have seen some scores already adjusted, indeed, with Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) leaping from two to three bonus points this evening. This was presumably his shots on target being added to his BPS score.

Yes, Saka got 12 points today, but Arsenal have Villa, Spurs, City away next 4. Home to a decent Brighton side too.

Salah has Brentford, Bournemouth, NFO at home. United away which he has done well before too.

Despite Saka getting 12 points today, the temptation to move

  Surely it's not easy for you? I started with Salah and Haaland for the very reason I thought it'd be easier to downgrade if they weren't good, but upgrading would require major surgery. I'm not saying this is the correct approach, but surely getting Salah requires you to make a sacrifice elsewhere?

  You must have thought this before the season started, so whats different? If anything, Saka hauled, so you should feel more confident in your pick.

  Selling Haaland for Salah before gw4 is something to consider. But let us see what happens before. Having Jota, Trent and Saka feels much better than downgrading another Liv asset to sell Saka for Salah.

  Saka is fixture proof. Yes Salah will likely score more given the fixtures, but assuming you have Haaland, this is an easy hold.

  I am an Ajax-fan and Mazraoui played for us. He is incredible and the main reason Antony played very well for us. If Mazraoui was not available then Antony had a horrible game. The only issue is that Mazraoui is very injury prone.

I can’t see any ‘non-casuals’ saving enough free transfers in the first 6 gameweeks to build up about 4 together.
Can see myself still making a transfer every week.

  The popular YouTubers get about 150k streams. That's at least 150k switched-on managers. Of those, there is of course going to be a good chunk that roll 3/4 transfers. The law of big numbers means there is going to be a lot of people doing the exact thing you're saying no one will do

      Disagree. The general template is good. It'll probably score about 60 points this week once all games are played. Even if it doesn't it doesn't make it bad. It's one week and variance is a thing.
      
      All irrelevant though. My point is there is a sizeable amount of non-casuals. 10 years ago probably 10k people played the game seriously. Now I'd guess it's about 300k. When you take a group of 300k, a sizeable amount of those will absolutely be rolling transfers. 'Non-casuals' are a huge group who don't do a single thing. Saying no people from a group of 300k won't do X is just plain wrong

        I'd say if 150k people are taking the time out of their week to watch a hour long YouTube video, that suggests there's a sizeable chunk of people taking the game seriously. Is this really debatable? Anyone who's played the game for a decade must surely see there are far more people taking the game seriously now than there used to be?

        Theres loads of people who watch or listen to content. Its quite easy to listen to podcasts while you do things. A lot of people who watch the mainstream stuff however don't have much experience in the game. I saw a fantasyhub post about their a team getting 81 points. They posted a screen with the baps added on. There were only about 10 comments at the time and 9 of those were people saying the points were wrong or hub were lying about the points lol.

Also, on another note, FFS website is showing in desktop mode on my phone, how do I get it back to the mobile version?

    Can I ask why you say that? I own him and people have kept pace with Saka with an extra 2.5m in play. I didn't watch the Liverpool or arsenal game so is there something in the performances that make you say that?

  Another day and could have been easily Jota brace and Salah A only. What's the issue?!? They both looked good and Trent also. Saka as well. We can't have them all. After next gw selling Haaland for Salah is a possibility, but with this amount of knees jerking we don't even know which one people want more when that time comes.

I’m a pool supporter and had Diaz for a long time in my draft along with Jota. Went with Trent and Quansah in my final squad with Jota,
Think I’ll be bringing Diaz in soon.. he was unlucky not to haul today.

I knew the risks of going no Arsenal defense, and they don't have great fixtures so I have no immediate plans. But getting one of their defenders is gonna be a must soon. I was thinking earlier about them in comparison to Wood and Muniz. I feel like Gabriel/Saliba will return more often and with more points.

1.0m ITB.

Hall bit more of a worry due to Kelly performance. Still don't mind I started with him, as would have gone Konsa otherwise (+3). Will consider moving him after GW3 potentially.

Barco is meh but not concerned about needing to make a transfer.

Murphy - desperately unlucky with him today (screw you Schar). Would you give him BOU or move him on? (The 1.0m was saved for a move like Nkunku. Though Wolves looked alright though!). Anyone else to consider?

  Feel a bit robbed today with Murphy and Hall but especially Murphy. Could have been a great start without the sending off I think.
  You think Hall will have lost his place now? Went off with clean sheet in tact despite 10 men, gotta count for something.
  I think Murphy will start next game. Did nothing wrong was just a tactical move.

    Back end of last year he was coming back from an injury in a team that had tired itself out fighting on 4 fronts and we knew he’d had a summer off. So again the probability of an improvement is again not new information.
    
    I probably sound boastful (and maybe I am on some level) but it genuinely baffles me. He ticks every box.

    Well:
    
    1. Saka didn’t match him quite
    2. More importantly, you didn’t have to choose between them, I have Son as well, so I went Son over Saka rather than Salah over Saka
    3. Liverpool have better fixtures than Arsenal.
    4. Salah to Saka is easy, Saka to Salah isn’t, so why take the risk?
    
    I completely agree that Saka + £2.5m vs Salah over a season isn’t easy. Given fixtures and the ease of moving to Saka I never understood the logic of not starting with Salah.

  Well Haaland vs. Ipswich, who Salah just hauled against us, is scary.
  
  People hoped to 'cover' Salah with likes of Jota (8) & Trent (8) who both did pretty well too.
  
  I don't think anyone thought Salah would blank this match really.

        So GW1 starting 11 will be:
        
        Sanchez
        Quansah - Konsa - Trent
        Salah - Son - Nkunku - ESR - Rogers
        Haaland - Isak
        
        My fires are Quansah and Barco. But they are pretty common fires and two players I was likely to consider even without Salah.

      There was a sound rationale for not going with Salah from the start (mainly around having a more balanced side). That rationale is still sound despite him getting 14 points against a team who will almost certainly end up being relegated. More than one way to play this game

        The more than one way to play is completely fair and I fully agree.
        
        I guess a better summation of my view is why is Salah not the most owned player in the game. No player is completely essential but high ownership suggest some are close and I don’t understand the rationale of Salah being the one sacrificed.

        You may be right. But surely better to wait till at least the end of the game week before making such a claim…..
        
        If Porro, Solanke & Gvardiol all do well over the next 48 hours, your conclusion doesn’t seem quite as robust.

        Except my claim is Salah is the last player I would sacrifice. So actually it’s more Haaland / Son / Palmers performance that matters more as you could easily have all three you mention and Salah but would most likely need to sacrifice one of the above.

        Not in the slightest mate. I’ve done a really bad job in this chain of representing the tone I actually mean, completely hold my hands up to it.
        
        I’ve spent much of the summer thinking I must be missing something as going for Salah seems so clearly obvious to me but that wasn’t the general consensus.

        I guess part of it is also the concept of “balanced” I think is overvalued quite a bit. Having two players score 8 feels and looks better than one scoring 14 and the other scoring 2. But they are the same score.
