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.

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Morgan Evans Stones (Friend Pieters)
    Tadic Mahrez Hazard Ramirez (Capoue)
    Aguero Zlatan Gray

    Having Friend and Evans potentially out is a worry but I have 2 FT so do I -

    A) Friend and Evans > Amat and £5m DF (thinking Williams)
    B) Friend > Souare and keep a FT
    C) play AOA and make no transfers?

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

      just play Pieters and use 1 FT to replace Friend

    2. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Evans may play .. wait till Friday then decide

    4. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If you have 2FT then make at least one!

      I haven't looked at 4.5 options but there must be better than souare? Would say McAuley but he rose

      1. Get in ma Dembele
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think Souare is a good route into palace defence with plum fixtures and now the ability to cross into bentekkers

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

    Foster
    Stones/Shaw/Friend
    Hazard/Lamela/Redmond/Mahrez
    Ibra/Aguero/Gray

    Jaku/Capoue/Wollscheid/Amat

    Already used 1 transfter on bringing in Amat

    1FT left. 0ITB

    If Friend is ruled out. Thinking of bringing in Palace/Bournemouth defender in for Wollscheid.

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Souare likely

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

        What about Targett?

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not nailed and their fixtures aren't that good ... souare or holding ( if they don't sign another defender) are better

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

            thanks mate. Southampton have been very good defensively. Very low xG

    A. Gray→Benteke or Rondon
    Or
    B. Save ft

      b

      1. Hy liverpool

        If tekkers or rondon ??? Tekkers eh!

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

      Dont fall for the Rondon trap. I know the stats are good but West Brom hate goals

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Haha ... stats got me thinking yeah .
        Would you go tekkers this early??

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

          No chance. He hasnt played for like a year. Give him 2 or 3 full 90

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

    Is Targett starting because Bertrand is injured? Chances of Targett playing this weekend?

    1. mccormibar
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I own Targett and awaiting news. Bertrand was due to recover from injury this week but hasn't had any minutes yet so hopefully Targett keeps his place for this weekend.

      If you own him keep, if not then I'd look elsewhere.

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

        interesting. Thanks mate. Still thinking of bringing him in just for this week

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He'll definitely start this week. There's not even been a hint that Bertrand is back in training yet, let alone match fit having not played at all in preseason.

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            ▼▼ a hint

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Bertrand back in trainin

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

    Hazard & Sterling or Payet & Ozil

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Try to fit Hazard and one of payet/ozil !!

    2. Musicholic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haz & Ster

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard and Payet, otherwise Haz and Sterling for me

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I ve gone Hazard and Giroud

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

      Ok, I've already used my WC earlier this week, just put Amat in for a 4.5 defender so now the decision has become

      Hazard/Payet/Rondon/4.5def
      Hazard/Sterling/Rondon/Williams (1.3ITB)
      Hazard/Payet/Long/

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

        *Last one is meant to say Hazard/Payet/Long/Williams

  6. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best replacement for Deulofeu?

    A. Bolasie
    B. Townsend
    C. Other (Please suggest)

    I have 2 FT but plan on keeping 1 to have 2FT after international break.

    Also.
    1. Keep Gray,
    2. Use the second transfer to get someone else?

    Thanks

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I wanted something crazy deu→Snodgrass and gray→ Benteke .... anyway if you dont wanna tekkers go with b and try to get barks/lukaku next week

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

        Benteke is in my thinking but I thought it might be a lot clearer after international break would of done ramirez and benteke. Looks like townsend and then evaluate the transfers after though i will keep an eye on the press conference for palace

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

      C. Redmond if you don't have already. Else

        I do have redmond and cheers

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        1. & I'm considering Bojan, subject to form and whether Deu/Gray continue starting.

      Heaton-Fletcher-Routledge-Amat

      Did Alli>Barkley and Vardy>Ibra

      1. FPLHaggis
        • 11 Years

        Downgrade DDG (but keep Valencia) and upgrade Routledge then your GTG

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

          Cheers mate. Who is worth the hit ? Any change now is now -4.

    6. Jayben23
      • 9 Years

      firmino or coutinho?

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

        Mane

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

        Coutinho

      3. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Coutinho. Boy loves to have a go at goal

      4. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Mane
        I have coutinho btw

    7. Musicholic
      • 10 Years

      What do you guys think of Chamberlain? How is he likely to do in future?

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

        Fuggedabouthim

    8. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would you prefer Heaton or Foster for the whole season?

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

        Foster for me though there is a case for heaton

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Foster more team reliable. Heaton for saves.

      3. Polo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Foster

      4. faver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        i have foster so foster, but only because i got him

      5. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Foster

      6. Carlton_Goal
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heaton, but for next 5 games 100% Foster

      7. Al Bundy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Just rotate them like me. Works perfect. Bench Foster for his 10 pointer GW1 and bench Heaton for his 10 pointer GW 2. Works a charm

        1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Heaton. He is a season keeper

    9. fabiolanzoni
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What would you prefer?

      Shaw + Lamela -> Baines + Pogba
      OR
      deGea + Snodgrass -> Hennessy + Pogba

      Looking at ways to get Pogba in..

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

      Eriksen > ??

      A) Walcott
      B) Cazorla
      C) Chamberlain
      D) Any Other

      Will have 9.3 for the transfer. I am really confused about swapping him out as well.

      Should I just keep him?

      1. fabiolanzoni
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I would rather have Eriksen than thoose Arsenal players (conserned about their gametime). Would considering Pogba or just keeping Eriksen.

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

          I am not sure about Pogba immediately and United has pretty tough fixtures compared to Spurs or Arsenal.

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

            Its hard to predict tough fixture for team like United or City, even Arsenal or spurs.

    11. lasmons
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Schmeichel - Jaku
      Evans* - Friend* - Stones - Amat - Shaw
      Hazard - Townsend - Tadic - Firmino - Fletcher
      Kun - Gray - Kane

      How to fit in Zlatan? 0.0 ITB, 2 FT.

      Could do Kane + Tadic -> Zlatan + Redmond?
      Other suggestions?

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Might be firmino→Barkley ?

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

          0.1 short... And also think Firmino could come good.

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Me too 😀
            Probably tadic then if you need ibra badly ... tadic stats are amazing that's why I'm hesitating

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

              Same here. Could do something as Schmeichel + Stones + Kane -> Heaton + Collins/4.5 + Zlatan for -4, but dont know if its worth it.

      2. Karmanya
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Losing Firmino is your only decent option. Go for Bolasie?

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

          Yeah, might just do that. Thanks.

    12. Karmanya
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      WC
      Foster (Jak)
      Shaw, Walker, Williams, Holding (Amat)
      Hazard, Bolasie, Ozil (Snoddy, Capoue)
      Kun, Ibra, Negredo

      0.3m in bank
      G2G? Any suggestions?
      had to do barkley to bolasie...

    13. Karmanya
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling + Barkley or Bolasie + Ozil?

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Can you be sure bolasie & ozil will start and get minutes?

          1. Karmanya
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nope, that is why I am asking!

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 5 months ago

                I want a deulofeu replacement. Personally don't see the logic of getting in another rotation risk in bolasie/mirallas).

                I'd like Ozil in but will wait until he's consistent. I'd rather lose one game's points than get one point for 18 mins.

                I don't generally like Liverpool players in my squad; points spread too widely and rotation.

                Find Barkley's form a bit surprising, but it is what it is.

                1. MTPockets
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Not Liverpool is it - early brain fog.

            2. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Consider it next week Bol and Oz

            Good morning!

            Evans -Friend - Kone rotation worked out well then .. 🙁 Anyone else holding these playing AoA chip this GW? And what's with Kone, will he get his place back?

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Kone will be either playing for Sunderland or Everton very soon as there is nothing wrong with him. Don't get why so many are selling

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

                Thanks - might just hold until the sitatuion is clear then. Doesn't seem to be dropping in value yet.

                Hope you're right, he's stinking up my bench

            2. Biancazzurri
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I'm on Friend and Kone. Probably AOA'ing this GW, since I also have Amat :-/ Even if the former two were fit, AOA would still be a good idea.

          4. MTPockets
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Two to bench from Valencia, Stones, Williams, McAuley, Amat? (currently last two)

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                for me mcauley over stones. wba have settled defence, they played for some time together. city can lose more than 1 against hammers

                1. MTPockets
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Cheers both. Was thinking about it from perspective of opposition (hammers squad problems). Will have another think.

                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Amat and valencia

                  1. MTPockets
                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      Agree with Valencia on away fixture, but in as much for attack/bp potential as clean sheets. Feel I have to start him against Hull.

                  2. Biancazzurri
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Amat and Williams, because ... will he play 90mins?

                  a) Hojberg (SUN)
                  b) Gray (che)

                  Defensive mid over a striker feel wrong but I'm thinking Hoj=3pts / Gray 2pts

                    Gray will bully Chelsea. Not impressed with them at all.

                    This is not how its work this game. Just play Gray.

                    If you think that little of Gray you should sell him

                  Should I sell Vardy > Costa or Kane? Already have Hazard.

                  Or wait till after international break?

                    international break seems most reasonable moment to transfer or work around team. injuries may happen, end of transfer window, gw3 may say us something about how settled the teams are. if you dont have aguero/ibra it may hurt anyways, both are on 50% ownership, but i would save with one of those moves

                  Capoue has scored more goals in two games this season than he has scored in the combined previous 3 seasons
                  1 - any explanation ?
                  2 - can it continue ?
                  3 - will he rival Kun and Ibra for the armband ?

                    Positional change.
                    He looks a great cheap mid but that is all.

                    1. Been allowed more attacking freedom this year, turns out he is alright at attacking
                    2. Potentially, although may be more restricted with Pereyra coming into the team now
                    3. Definitely not, I don't think anyone can with their form at the moment

                    Nothing wrong with it (Friend is injured apparently).
                    Are you on a wildcard or have any transfers?

                      Yeah heard the news on friend.

                      I used my free transfer by doing firmino > barkley

                      What you do ?

                    Nice team. Same as mine except I have Gray over Rondon and Fuchs over Azpi. Midfield *should* score big this week.

                  collins nailed for whu?

                  4.0 defender with the most chance of breaking in the team ?

                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Collins never really nailed but injuries means he plays at the moment

                    Love Amat Kingsley

                    Check the 'minutes played' on the stats - lots of options

                    Amazing how you have a sweet team and 2FT
                    But surely using one of them makes sense?

                    Even if its a boring move like ditching friend

                    Season ticker. Sort by defense. Use 5-6 weeks. There are at least 2 guys on the first 3 teams. One should be nailed.

                      Have 2FT's and nothing else to use them on tbh. Is Holgate set to continue to start for a while until Coleman returns I assume?

                    Selling. Boro defence is mediocre and there are plenty of 4.5m def options elsewhere
