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

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      madness

  2. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is making Barkley captain mental?

    1. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yeesh...surely not that desperate at this stage of the season

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would have to say yes it is

    3. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not worth the risk when Ibra and Aguero are in such good form

    4. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Don't do it. Just captain Kun or Zlatan. Having Barkley is enough.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      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.

  3. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So Amat looks like retaining his spot for the foreseeable future?

    1. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Seems its his place to lose

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What about Kingsley?

      1. Merteswagger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        pressure from Taylor

  4. Neilio66
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Surely Swansea will invest before the transfer window closes.

    1. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No chance if current owners doesn't want to spend a single cent and wanting to sell instead.

      1. Arceus
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry comment refers to Hull.

  5. The EJJ
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Chance of Kone playing this week for Sunderland?

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Slim I reckon.

      1. The EJJ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hopefully he will start playing after international break, bit of a poor pick from the beginning in hindsight

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          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.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Last weekend Moyes told him to stay away from the stadium. Unless there has been a big turn around then highly unlikely.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Was out all evening so didn't see any footie. Anything of note happen FPL wise in the cup games?

    1. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Friend injured

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This. 🙁

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thats ridiculous, why was he playing with Fabio?

        1. Merteswagger
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Fabio got injured.....so Friend came on and promptly got injured as well :/

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            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!

            1. Merteswagger
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              One of those in that boat. Was playing 4 at the back this week so not overly frustrating

  7. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Already did 2 FT & My Defenders
    Stones - Valencia - Friend - Amat & Koné
    So any Transfer Should I do ?

    1. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just play Friend and have Amat come off the bench

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thx Dude

  8. MFPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You only lose money if you you sell Firmino at a loss

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino dropping in like 1 minute no? Personally not sure I'd take a hit for any of them

    3. MFPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry guys, didn't realise how soon he was going to drop... I guess I will just hold now.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Just seen SSN. Karanka not happy with the performance, time to step up Gaston 🙂

  10. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How bad is Friend injury?

    1. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Muscle. No idea at this point.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Might be forced into AOA CHIP

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If muscle he might play especially if Fabio is injured too and a two week break after as well. Pressers key here!

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      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

  11. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who to C This GW ?

    1. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      With the herd. Aguero or Ibra

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kaptain Kun!

  12. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Just seen that Ibra is now more owned than Kun.

    Ibra the better go-to captain now?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not this week

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Still Serge for me

  13. Fingerspitzengefühl
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    With FIrminho down to 8.4 it feels like a relief...

    Time to punish the sellers with a brace this weekend 😛

      Nobody shall break the spurs mighty defence! 2 points this week for roberto and all his liverpool buddies!

  14. TJ_777

    Eriksen has dropped in price. I haven't seen any risers

    1. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Whenever his price dropped, that is the time he starts scoring load of goals.

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years

        I sure hope so

  15. FCSB

    who in net for this GW???

    A. Heaton (che)
    B. Valdes (wba)

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Merteswagger

      Is Valdes even fit?

    Price Changes - 25th August 2016

    Risers : -

    Fallers : Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Tabanou, Cameron, de Sart, Herrera, Romero, Bony, Firmino, Willian, Gosling, Ogbonna

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years

      Thanks TM. Damn I really thought Eriksen would at least hold on another day

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years

      Few big names in the fallers! Shame no Jaku rise as yet

    6. TJ_777

      wow they are giving people every last chance to get a 4.0 def or gk

    7. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      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. 😀

    8. AA33
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Took out Sigurdsson on time

      • NATSTER
        • 15 Years

        Wow.. Eriksen, Siggy, Firmino, and Willian.

        All good players.

    9. Havent got a Kalou
      • 10 Years

      Feghouli to who? 5.4 or less

    10. MFPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Annoyed Firmino dropped without trading him out, surely the right thing to do now is to hold until Liverpool's fixtures get better?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

      Conspiracy with Amat & Jaku STILL not rising?

      1. Merteswagger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        any 4m players playing should be fairly set for a rise, let alone those actually nabbing a few points

      Foster Heaton
      Valencia Stones Friend Evans Kone

      Friend/Kone to another def for a hit?
      or play AOA chips?

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't take a hit, AOA the better option for you by far imo

      2. Merteswagger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        looks set for aoa, hits for a defender meh

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          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)

      3. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        AOA in GW3, do it!!! (if you dare)

        1. The EJJ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not like AOA has any value apart from a situation like this

      4. Rex Lapis
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'll use AOA this GW

        cheers all

    14. Why Always Me
      • 12 Years

      Will payet play this weekend?

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        not 90

    15. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Valencia, Stones, Kingsley, Evans, Friend

      Looks like must use aoa chip. Evans&Friend doubful. Kingsley not sure can he keep him place.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Reckon Taylow will take Kingleys place

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          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.

        2. Shearer & Sutton
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yep. I also thinking Taylor take Kingsley place.
          Aoa it's...

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Who is your fifth mid?

            1. Shearer & Sutton
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Capoue

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                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.

                1. Shearer & Sutton
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  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.

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 14 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    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?

      1. Shearer & Sutton

        Tactical.

          1. Shearer & Sutton
            • 11 Years

            I think he can start a weekend. No problem.

      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

      Cheers

      Any sense in playing AOA with fletcher as the 5th mid?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No. Only do that if 3 of your defenders are confirmed out and you have no FT's.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Saving my AOA for decent 8 with good fixtures

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          AOE fairly worthless, only time it can come in handy is when only have 2 defenders left

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            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.

    20. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lamela Or Pogba Or Firmino?And why?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        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.

      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.

        1. Nabs Kebabs

          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
        Walker

      3. Give Me the Mane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Too early for Benteke

        thanks guys. appreciated.
