Mahrez can capitalise if Pep hands him Gameweek 2 start

As a Fantasy Premier League template already begins to emerge it becomes all the more important to have at least a standout differential in your team before the potential bandwagon takes off.

The opening Gameweek of the season saw a number of highly-owned premium attackers deliver fantasy returns but last week’s differentials, Anthony Martial (£7.6m) and Ashley Barnes (£6.5m) also chipped in for good measure.

So here are three low-owned players for Gameweek 2 that may be worth having a think about…

Riyad Mahrez

Sané’s injury may help Mahrez get more game-time this season

Price: £8.5m

Ownership: 3.7%

GW2 Opponent: Tottenham Hotspur (home)

Raheem Sterling grabbed the headlines with a muchdeserved hat-trick as Manchester City opened the defence of their Premier League campaign with a routine thrashing of West Ham United at the London Stadium.

But we should not forget about one of the Citizens key architects in Gameweek 1, midfielder Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m).

The Algerian international made the most of his surprise start by delivering a hat-trick of assists in the big win.

In some ways it was surprising that he featured from the beginning after reaching the final of the African Cup of Nations and winning it over the summer, but having been rested for the Community Shield it seems he was good to go.

There’s no doubt that Pep Guardiola highly rates him, especially after averaging a goal or assist for every 121 minutes played in the league last season – all the more remarkable when considering that he wasn’t a regular starter in this competition.

The only concern with choosing a player like him is the risk of losing out to ‘Pep Roulette’. Guardiola likes to rotate his attack, which in turn keeps them fresh for their multiple competitions.

But it wouldn’t make sense for Guardiola to radically reshuffle his team so early on in the season. After all, he wasn’t able to compensate for the long-term injury loss of Leroy Sane with a new signing.

Of course, it was a surprise that the slightly injured Bernardo Silva didn’t play last Saturday but it would take some doing for him to bench Mahrez after his Gameweek 1 performance.

Perhaps Mahrez is only worth a punt if you’re looking to Wildcard early. In any case, City averaged a staggering 3.2 league goals per game last season and face Tottenham next who they’ve beaten during their last four Premier League encounters.

Teemu Pukki

Pukki has already opened his Premier League account for Norwich

Price: £6.5m

Ownership: 5.5%

GW2 Opponent: Newcastle United (home)

Despite being on the wrong end of an opening day heavy defeat at the hands of Liverpool, Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) broke the hearts of millions of FPL managers by scoring a consolation goal at Anfield.

His three shots in the box and two key passes demonstrated his attacking abilities, especially given he was able to record them in one of the hardest away matches in the Premier League.

In fairness, the way Norwich played against Liverpool, they were unlucky not to score at least twice. They certainly did not park the bus and were not afraid to venture forward against the reigning European champions.

In some ways this may have caught Liverpool off guard after their less than mediocre pre-season and Norwich’s attacking intensity could provide clues to their approach for the games ahead. After all, they averaged more than two goals per game which ultimately helped them to win the Championship.

Pukki was involved in 42% of Norwich’s league goals last season (29 goals and 10 assists). If there’s anyone that has a high probability to score for the Canaries on a weekly basis it will be him.

Their next match will be at Carrow Road where they host a Newcastle United team that looked uninspiring in Steve Bruce’s first competitive game in charge. The much heralded 3-5-2 formation did not work effectively, even against a makeshift Arsenal team.

The Magpies are notorious for being sub-par on their travels and I would expect Pukki to exploit their vulnerabilities in defence. Beyond Gameweek 2, as demonstrated last Friday, his Gameweek 1 display suggests he can also be a threat to even the strongest of defences.

We generally pick differentials who are owned by 5% or less, and Pukki was in 4.9% squads when we picked him out. Such is his popularity that he has risen to 5.5% since then.

Seamus Coleman

Coleman may hold on to his starting berth for Gameweek 2 as Sidibé continues to settle in at Everton

Price: £5.5m

Ownership: 3.5%

GW2 Opponent: Watford (home)

Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) could be one of many Fantasy assets to excel in Gameweek 2 as he prepares to host a Watford side that failed to impress on opening weekend.

The Everton right-back has been a consistent source of Fantasy returns in defence over the last decade, averaging 17 a season (including clean sheets) over the last five years, if we exclude the 2017/18 campaign in which he was blighted by a long-term injury.

There aren’t many other defenders that can match this record over the same period and he started well last weekend with a clean sheet at Selhurst Park.

Of course, there were minor concerns over the summer about Coleman being dislodged with the high profile loan-signing of Djibril Sidibe from AS Monaco, but it seems unlikely that the club captain will lose his place straight away.

Everton’s clean sheet potential remains intact despite the loss of Idrissa Gueye over the summer. Against favourable opposition they should be more than capable of showing the defensive form that helped them keep 14 clean sheets last season.

This weekend, the Toffees face a Watford side who looked out of sorts at Vicarage Road in Gameweek 1 and it’s hard to see how the Hornets will trouble Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Coleman is not only £0.5m cheaper than Lucas Digne but he still offers an attacking threat from the other flank of Everton’s defence. He is worth considering as an alternative route into the Everton defence if you can’t afford the France international.

His fixtures over the coming weeks are also positive with Aston Villa (away), Wolves (home), Bournemouth (away) and Sheffield United (home) coming up.

    Any changes needed chaps? Was considering Martial/Rashford/AWB in for -4 or Auba in for Kane but leaning towards saving FT

    Ryan
    VVD, Robertson, Digne, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Robinson
    Kane, King

    (Button, Dendoncker, KWP, Greenwood)

    Cheers

        Cheers. Was thinking of getting Auba in to just avoid having to choose between Salah and Sterling (c)...

        1. _nod
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Salah seems liked the logical option, given the fixtures.

  2. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone with double Bournmouth holding for another week?

    1. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don't have any, but if I did I'd be holding.

    2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years

      Every week has a different story.

    3. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I imagine everyone will be holding for this gameweek and then selling ahead of GW3

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The drop is gonna be fast and vast if Fraser/Wilson/King blank.

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed - need to plan now as may well have to make a move on Saturday. . Hopefully they haul - I’ll probably still move King on regardless but be nice to have a bit of time to kill over other performances first

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Fraser is already at about -50% isn't he? I'm getting rid anyway but will probably hold until after Utd play.

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      o/

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Fraser and Wilson here

    6. Our Man Charlie
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      holding for the Villa game , then reassessing GW3 with 2 FT for me

    7. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. I'm going to enjoy the 25 points

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        FYI - 25 points as a gameweek score total isn’t great 😉

    8. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've got triple and I'm definitely holding.

    9. OFord
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Holding Wilson and King this week, will probably get rid of King next week for Jota

  3. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Worth playing either Dendoncker or Hanley over KPW this GW?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would go Dendoncker.

  4. adams_6
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I don't even know why I'm here. I ain't touching my team I spent 7 weeks building after one week.

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years

      Get Adrian in, everyone is.

      1. The Berbatouch
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Apparently he was injured during Super Cup celebrations.

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He will play

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Love these statements based on no facts whatsoever.
            In all likelihood he will play but there's no guarantees that he will.

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              It was just reported on bbc 5live that Adrian says he’s feeling much better and hopes to play tomorrow. He’s fine.

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Exactly . So you don't know for sure. Hopes to play tomorrow is a very different statement to will play tomorrow.

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  'But I'm very optimistic to start playing tomorrow again' - I mean there's never any guarantees but that sounds pretty good for owners

                2. Hits from the Bong
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Sometimes you just have to read between the lines. He hopes to play because he doesn’t pick the team. There is not a chance he will give up this opportunity now he’s in the first team, slight bruise on the ankle or not.
                  Klopp obviously exaggerated the whole thing to stop celebrating scousers running into the pitch in future. He will play, you have my guarantee.

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    OK Mr Klopp.

      I think your gw1 team must have been utter sh17.
      next season try copying the template with just one twist

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      This is the WC team. Thanks all.

  8. pundit of punts

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Easy save and shift Fraser + Wilson next gw?

    Pope
    TAA - Digne - Lundstram
    Salh - Sterling - Sigurdsson - fraser - Moura
    Wilson - Wood

    Norris - Rico - Hanley - Greenwood

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why are you planning on shifting two players when you plan on keeping them for a week. If they hit points you'll reassess. Surely a waste of mental energy

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I won't keep them even if they haul. They are up against City in gw 3 and there's a fixture swing in gw 3. I would rather prioritise getting in someone who's gonna haul next rather than basking in the glory of previous gws' haulers. Hence the mental energy usage.

      You should feel guilty

      1. Maddi Son

        I do 🙁

    2. Pacer.

      Sorry for your loss

      1. Maddi Son

        That's not how you spell gain.

    3. Bartowski

      16 points there, 13 of which from Pukki...

      1. Maddi Son

        Siggy is gonna break some hearts tomorrow.

      2. Maddi Son

        Close.

  10. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Reckon Rudiger will play? Really wanna know who starts alongside him.

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rudiger and Zouma I suspect. I thought I saw somewhere that Christensen had a knock?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Eurgh that wouldn't help at all, I'm not gonna find out who the definitive first choice is next to him this weekend am I?

      2. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Came off at 85 with a suspected knock

        He’s always getting a knock but I’d rather have him next to Rudiger. Hope he can keep fit.

        Rudiger should play once fit

  11. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start Trossard, Dendoncker or Rico?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Trossard

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Gotta go with Trossard. Can't see Brightons club record signing sit on the bench for the 2nd week.

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Save FT or swap out King?

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Digne, Montoya
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Perez
    Wilson, King

    1.5m itb

    Button, Greenwood, Dendoncker, Rico

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why wouldn’t you save?

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Save and consider an 11 mil next week

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Really really struggling not to knee jerk King out.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Same. But surely it’s a one more week to keep and assess sitch

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          yep, but I'm likely to be tackling another problem with my 2 x FT's, then King has Man City.

          I'll see what I could do.

      2. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Why would you? He has a prime fixture and shouldn’t drop before the deadline

        Get him out for GW3 sure but do it when you have 2FT so you have some flexibility and don’t necessarily have to then do a direct swap to a 6.5m striker.

        Only reason I could possibly see to even vaguely justify it is if you love your team and team structure except king and are desperate to get Pukki in as a direct swap given Pukki will rise.

        I’ve got King and I’m holding for this week and feel fine about it

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Might get lucky and Pukki won’t rise today giving you 2ft after the deadline and 6.5 for him

          Also better to tackle next weeks problems with 2ft

          Surely Ed will have two up top next game. They were crap with 343

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          My team structure is quite good. I have Aubameyang so am not likely to get two premium strikers for example.

          I think I'm in quite a fortunate position but two transfers is always handy.

    Are the "Wisdom of the Crowd" articles coming back for this season? Found them very useful in 50:50 decisions (who to play, captain etc)!!

    If your team is painfully obviously entirely satisfactory and you are posting to ask if you should wildcard, have you ever considered getting a cheese-grater and grating yourself into a pile of matter that will not clog up this board with sick

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds like you find those kind of posts somewhat grating...

    2. George Sillett

      Agree totally with the sentiment even if the wording is rather juvenile.

        Agreed

      So now we know how you massacred all those Tamagotchis ....

  16. Four Hit Wonder

    Ditch Sterling to get Mane next to Salah, and use the extra cash to upgrade Siggy to KDB (or Pepe)?

    Sterling, Siggy -> Mane, KDB/Pepe

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Absolutely not

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      no

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Overthinking yourself to fpl death

    4. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Madness. I'd prefer to do Salah > Mane than this.

    5. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      And a -4 in the process? Literally madness

      Who you captaining?

      1. rilo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Salah

    Hearing a lot of noise on Lundstram possibly not starting this week (comments on p2 of this article and noted in Team News section) ... for the defense:

    Playing VVD and TAA ... then 1 of:
    A) KWP (at Man City)
    B) Soyuncu (at Chelsea - fatigued Chelsea?)
    C) Lundstram (may come off bench for 1 or 2 pts)

    Leaning Soyuncu now ... anyone that follows Sheffield have any thoughts or insights on Lundstram playing on Sunday?

    Cheers and good luck to all this weekend-

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Soyuncu could be a decent option. As a Vardy owner, I’m hoping Leicester do well at Chelsea (and think they might)

  19. SPFC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who is the best option for Wood's place?

    A- Pukki
    B- Jota

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

    2. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Is wood likely to drop? If not keep one week and review.

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm gonna say pukki cuz I live his name

      1. Zimo

  20. Oggle22
    • 7 Years

    G2G roll free transfer?
    Heaton
    TAA VVD Zinchenko Ake
    Sterling Salah Moura (Bilva any news?)
    King Wilson
    Woodman Kelly Dendoncker Greenwood

    Cheers

  21. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years

    As I missed the Martial rise, cool to stick with this lot?

    Ederson
    Zinch/ VVD/ Coleman/ Zouma
    Sterling (c)/ Perez/ Barkley/ Siggy
    Kane/ Firmino (vc)
    Button/ Rose/ Dendonker/ green

    G2G?

  22. Jose Antonio Wenger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start 2 of these boys:

    A) KWP
    B) Lundstram
    C) Dendoncker

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B & C

  23. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Expected season points for these?

    Sterling
    KDB
    Mane
    Sigurdsson

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      240
      200
      200
      180

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I just cannot see KDB getting 200 points this season.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why does this matter?

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What else matters?

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You're not going to keep them for the whole season anyway. So why are you wasting your time with this? Not like you can ever get it right either.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree . This predictive crap is nonsense.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      260
      190
      215
      185

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nice. What do you predict for Salah?

    4. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling) 250
      KDB) 150
      Mane) 230
      Sigurdsson) 170

  24. NED KELLY
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I've took a 4 point hit this week to get sterling on a free next week.. big mistake not starting with vhim

    1. _nod
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  25. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hey lads, so decided to stick with Adrian

    Adrian
    Zinch Digne VVD Montaya
    Sterling Salah Martial Mcginn
    Auba Pukki

    Pope, doncks lundtram andone

    Play 1) Lund + Montoya over Mcginn
    2) Donckers over Montoya with a 3-5-2
    3) Lund over Montaya

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not 1

  26. SirT83
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it expected for Kean to start next game?

    1. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Oh, and Perez or Mount/Barkley?

  27. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who is best attacking option from Villa - their fixtures look great

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Go for Mcginn. Value for money.

  28. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Salah is the permacaptain, does it make sense to own Sterling or are you better off upgrading your Frasers to Pepes?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still gotta own the hat trick man

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perma-captaining is a myth

    3. Boz
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      As in Sterling + Fraser or Pepe and say KDB? I'd prefer the first 2 tbh

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Exact combinations I had in mind

    4. Markus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's pretty close, you want your pepes/kdbs to get around 200 to your 245 for sterlings / 236 for kanes/aubas. Whichever you think more likely

    5. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You can do better than Salah permacap over the course of the season, which is why it's important to have 2+ premiums in the first place

    6. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’d want both.

  29. Boz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Trossard owners, are you sticking or twisting?

    Likely to get points if he starts but could be another no show... Looking at Buendia as replacement

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don't own Trossard, but I'd monitor.

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I've got dendonker on bench so might hold

    2. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sticking and then transfering out ASAP if there's another no-show

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sticking this GW. Decide GW3.

  30. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Moise Kean not starting according to different sites and to ffs. What do you think?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      False until proven.
