We delve into the Gameweek 2 data this Wednesday evening in the first members article of the week. Man United and Sunderland’s new midfielders impress on their first starts, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane’s contrasting fortunes arrive under analysis, whilst Michail Antonio thrives on his return to the Hammers’ flank.
If Fuchs drops in price this week after a cleano vs arsenal and playing Swansea at home at the weekend I'll kick off more than Burton Albion
madness
Is making Barkley captain mental?
yeesh...surely not that desperate at this stage of the season
I would have to say yes it is
Not worth the risk when Ibra and Aguero are in such good form
Don't do it. Just captain Kun or Zlatan. Having Barkley is enough.
Good move by Koeman to do it but not an FPL manager. If you want to take a punt, ask those who captained Firmino / Lamela how it went.
So Amat looks like retaining his spot for the foreseeable future?
Seems its his place to lose
What about Kingsley?
pressure from Taylor
Surely Swansea will invest before the transfer window closes.
No chance if current owners doesn't want to spend a single cent and wanting to sell instead.
Sorry comment refers to Hull.
Chance of Kone playing this week for Sunderland?
Slim I reckon.
Hopefully he will start playing after international break, bit of a poor pick from the beginning in hindsight
Ah hindsight... I'm still hoping he will go to Everton and I'll have a cheap route into their defence for these nice fixtures.
Last weekend Moyes told him to stay away from the stadium. Unless there has been a big turn around then highly unlikely.
Was out all evening so didn't see any footie. Anything of note happen FPL wise in the cup games?
Friend injured
This. 🙁
Thats ridiculous, why was he playing with Fabio?
Fabio got injured.....so Friend came on and promptly got injured as well :/
Thats very unlucky. Especially for those who've made 2 FTs and might be stuck with him. Always one, every time there are games mid week!
One of those in that boat. Was playing 4 at the back this week so not overly frustrating
Already did 2 FT & My Defenders
Stones - Valencia - Friend - Amat & Koné
So any Transfer Should I do ?Just play Friend and have Amat come off the bench
Thx Dude
Seeing that Firmino is close to dropping, it may be time to move him on, but who for? (for a -4 hit)
A) Townsend
B) Sterling (already have Aguero)
C) Antonio
D) Pogba
E) Coutinho
F) Any other suggestion
Already have Barkley and Redmond in my team.You only lose money if you you sell Firmino at a loss
Firmino dropping in like 1 minute no? Personally not sure I'd take a hit for any of them
Sorry guys, didn't realise how soon he was going to drop... I guess I will just hold now.
Just seen SSN. Karanka not happy with the performance, time to step up Gaston 🙂
How bad is Friend injury?
Muscle. No idea at this point.
Might be forced into AOA CHIP
If muscle he might play especially if Fabio is injured too and a two week break after as well. Pressers key here!
Assume he will get scans so won't know for day or 2 probably. I have 4 defenders playing ahead of him on bench anyway
Who to C This GW ?
With the herd. Aguero or Ibra
Kaptain Kun!
Just seen that Ibra is now more owned than Kun.
Ibra the better go-to captain now?Not this week
Still Serge for me
With FIrminho down to 8.4 it feels like a relief...
Time to punish the sellers with a brace this weekend 😛Kiwivillan likes this
Banned. Got in Hazard for him.
You are going to go through 5 stages of a failed bandwagon . You are still in stage 1 denial .
Nobody shall break the spurs mighty defence! 2 points this week for roberto and all his liverpool buddies!
Eriksen has dropped in price. I haven't seen any risers
Whenever his price dropped, that is the time he starts scoring load of goals.
I sure hope so
who in net for this GW???
A. Heaton (che)
B. Valdes (wba)
Thanks 🙂Is Valdes even fit?
75% apparently
Price Changes - 25th August 2016
Risers : -
Fallers : Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Tabanou, Cameron, de Sart, Herrera, Romero, Bony, Firmino, Willian, Gosling, OgbonnaThanks TM. Damn I really thought Eriksen would at least hold on another day
Few big names in the fallers! Shame no Jaku rise as yet
Thanks TM 🙂
damn firmino..Lovely
Erik Siggys Firm Willy - few nice droppers for future watch 🙂 Cheers!
wow they are giving people every last chance to get a 4.0 def or gk
So much for my theory of Eriksen and Firmino having summers off and having a storming start.
A 0.1 drop on Firmino still preferable to the 0.1 on Bentaleb I started with last season. 😀Took out Sigurdsson on time
Wow.. Eriksen, Siggy, Firmino, and Willian.
All good players.
Feghouli to who? 5.4 or less
Annoyed Firmino dropped without trading him out, surely the right thing to do now is to hold until Liverpool's fixtures get better?
If he keeps blanking it's not a great idea.
It was coming for a long time. Better mids elsewhere.
Conspiracy with Amat & Jaku STILL not rising?
any 4m players playing should be fairly set for a rise, let alone those actually nabbing a few points
Wildcards ...
This. Vast, vast majority I'd say. Rise Saturday and then again before next GW would be nice 🙂
If you sell Firmino the terrorists win
casuals*
FPL is counter strike, confirmed?
Foster Heaton
Valencia Stones Friend Evans Kone
Hazard Barkley Townsend Redmond Capoue
Kun Zlatan Gray
Friend/Kone to another def for a hit?
or play AOA chips?Don't take a hit, AOA the better option for you by far imo
looks set for aoa, hits for a defender meh
Yeah i be doing AOE Shame wasnt forced into it last week, would have had capoues points, now will get his one for this week (yellow card)
AOA in GW3, do it!!! (if you dare)
Not like AOA has any value apart from a situation like this
I'll use AOA this GW
cheers all
Will payet play this weekend?
not 90
Valencia, Stones, Kingsley, Evans, Friend
Looks like must use aoa chip. Evans&Friend doubful. Kingsley not sure can he keep him place.Reckon Taylow will take Kingleys place
Doubt it. The starters in the Cup were all from the second team apart from Amat who was only in because Fernandez was being eased back into action. Also, seems unlikely that Taylor having played 0 mins in the league would play 90 mins midweek in cup then start a few days later.
Yep. I also thinking Taylor take Kingsley place.
Aoa it's...Who is your fifth mid?
Capoue
Wel personally I wouldn't, l I'm pretty confident Kinglsey start and I don't really fancy Capoue against Arsenal who has been lucky so far. 3 shots (2 in the box) for 2 goals.
Thanks.
Aoa is quite useless chip. If I'm sure Kingsley not loosing him place. Maybe I could save aoa chip.
But Taylor is now match fit after Euros.Agree it is quite useless. If you are not convinced on Kinglsey, may aswell just use the chip and be safe since it will be hard for Swans to keep a CS anyway.
Why was stones subbed off at 59' last night?
Tactical.
Cheers, relieved. Should start this weekend?
I think he can start a weekend. No problem.
Manager had a gutsa of him, too many long balls losing possesion
in the BBC report of the game they gave Stones man of the match
Hey
Hey guys,
2 FT what to do?
Foster
Evans Shaw Morgan
Mahrez Hazard Ramirez Tadic
Kun Ibra Gray
Jaku Friend Amat Hojbjerg
A) Gray --> Rondon
B) Evans/Friend ---> Holgate
C) A + B
D) Something else
CheersAny sense in playing AOA with fletcher as the 5th mid?
No. Only do that if 3 of your defenders are confirmed out and you have no FT's.
Saving my AOA for decent 8 with good fixtures
AOE fairly worthless, only time it can come in handy is when only have 2 defenders left
It's really an 8th attacker vs a 3rd defender question. It helps when the 3rd defender is a 0 but if the 8th attacker is a 2 most of the time then it doesn't really take much advantage of the chip.
Lamela Or Pogba Or Firmino?And why?
Lamela (form and fixtures)
-Goal GW1
-5 chances created GW2
Firmino out of form and tough fixtures, might not be false 9 with Sturridge back.
Pogba - too much unknown, we don't even know if he is fpl relevant yet
Lamela is also the cheapest. He wins hands down.Thanks
It looks very crazy
People are playing AoA and need each defender .. and I'm benching valencia for snoddyWhich defs are you playing?
Baines stones Evans
on Wildcard atm after dropping 1.4 mill places in one gw. Was abit of a Rage move. my opening 2 round scores were 72 and 34. Abit of advice would be awesome thanks 🙂
Foster
Shaw Dann Williams
Hazard Lamela Tadic Redmond
Zlatan Aguero Benteke
Jako Capoue Collins Amat
.2 itb
1) Lamela or Townsend
2) Too early for Benteke?
3) Dann or Walker or someone else?1) Lamela
2) Slightly. But good punt on WC, should start this weekend imo
3) Don't like an 5.5. Not enough CS's. Walker is a better pick but I also like PVA at 5.0m.Don't like Dann at 5.5*
Only reason im thinking Dann is great fixtures.. dont agree? PVA is someone id probs look at swapping him too further down the track when fixtures change.. Walker probably the safer option?
The next month is nice for Dann but he is someone that is probable a transfer out waiting to happen. Walker you can just stick in there and forget about him. His fixtures are decent aswell
Lamela (form)
For me Benteke is too early atm
WalkerToo early for Benteke
thanks guys. appreciated.
