The key FPL lessons I learned from Gameweek 1 of the new season

What have I learned from Gameweek 1? It’s the same every year. Don’t panic after just one Gameweek. Remember why you chose those players. If you can save a transfer that’s ideal.

All words of wisdom we heard in pre-season, which is why less than 24 hours after Gameweek 1 ending I’ve considered no transfers, one transfer and even a hit! Fantasy Premier League is truly back.

In this article I want to see if there’s anything we can take away from Gameweek 1. It should be noted that making rash decisions based on one Gameweek is often a fools game, but we should always try and spot what we can, especially this early on.

Everton

How Spurs and Everton's new signings fared in their FPL Gameweek 1 debuts

Lots was made of Everton’s sub-par performances during Project Restart. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.0m) didn’t score at all, and they looked as a whole, very poor as a team.

Fast-forward to signing a whole new midfield in Allan (£5.5m), Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) and James Rodríguez (£7.5m), and it’s suddenly a whole different story.

The midfield three, which included Allan, Doucouré and André Gomes (£5.5m) looked like it had been playing together for years, and Rodríguez looked like that player that some people probably haven’t seen play since the World Cup in 2014. He constantly caused Ben Davies (£5.0m) issues even without pace on his side, and with five chances created against a strong enough Tottenham Hotspur side, we should be taking note.

It’s also worth noting that Everton’s game plan was to seemingly target the side of Matt Doherty (£6.0m), with Rodríguez often playing balls out to Richarlison. With West Brom, Crystal Palace and Brighton up next it may be something they continue to try, although Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m) might have something to say about that in the Brighton game.

Just to quickly touch on Lucas Digne (£6.0m) as well. It was interesting to see that Rodríguez didn’t monopolise set pieces, and Digne was still on lots of corners and free-kicks, which is ultimately where his assist came from. He only created one chance in the game, but with more freedom against teams that don’t have a marauding full back like Doherty, he could still be a great option, especially with the new look midfield giving the defence more protection.

Sheffield United

Chelsea

I’ve been pretty vocal in my excitement for Chelsea players this season but it might take a bit longer for their new signings to gel together like Everton’s did. Without some of their key players being fit, I’m looking at your Christian Pulisic (£8.5m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.0m), it may be more sensible to hold off on loading up too soon.

They beat Brighton 3-1 but it wasn’t convincing. The xG for the game was Brighton 1.05 v 1.22 Chelsea..

Reece James (£5.0m) rewarded owners handsomely, but I’m not expecting him to score a 20 yard goal every week. And the third goal was helped through a significant deflection.

It might be harsh but I also thought Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.0m) was at fault for the goal they did concede, and it wouldn’t be the first time. I think I’ll continue avoiding Chelsea defenders until a replacement comes in (which may be soon), despite their relatively good underlying numbers last year.

In attack to say Kai Havertz (£8.5m) didn’t look good would probably be an understatement. He created just one chance and had zero shots. It’s too quick to write him off, he’s a young player, playing in a new team, in a new league, but for owners it may be concerning with Liverpool (home) up next. When Pulisic and Ziyech are finally fit we should see Havertz move more centrally, rather than playing out wide and that should broaden his points potential.

I don’t think Havertz is necessarily a rush to sell, but the timelines on certain injuries to other players in the squad would help me if I had to make that decision. After Liverpool it’s West Brom, Crystal Palace and Southampton up next, so there’s certainly some promise there.

For any promise Havertz didn’t show, Timo Werner (£9.5m)  defintiely did. He managed five shots in the box, and also won the penalty. His speed in the transition from defence to attack will be huge, and playing off the shoulder against Liverpool could see plenty of counter attacking opportunities. Just an assist is hard to swallow for his 46.5% owners, but a goal looks to be right around the corner.

Liverpool

value-players-2020-21

This probably isn’t news to some, but the Liverpool defence is still pretty good, despite heavy transfers out for the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m)

Leeds United may have impressed and scored three goals, but this came from an xG of just 0.32. On another day Leeds may not have scored at all.

What was most worrying to me was Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) making another mistake and gifting Patrick Bamford (£5.6m) a goal. It’s easy to put those mistakes down to a league winning hangover, but we don’t have that excuse now and it’s something to monitor – hopefully just first game of the season rustiness. 

I don’t think we should have been expecting too many clean sheets from Leeds, Chelsea and Arsenal in the first three Gameweeks, players like Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Alexander-Arnold are long term holds after all, which is why the Leeds result doesn’t put me off when you look at the underlying numbers.

In attack, Mohammad Salah (£12.0m) owners can probably consider themselves a little lucky (I know I do), to have gotten two penalties in one game. Although it’s worth noting for a lot of people getting penalties for the same price as Sadio Mané (£12.0m) was key reason behind the pick.

From an “eye test” perspective Salah looked sharp, and any pre-season lack of form or sharpness was not to be seen. The same can’t be said of Mané who I thought looked poor at times with sloppy passing that broke down some attacks.

But when you look at the underlying numbers, both Salah (0.38) and Mané (0.27) had fairly similar npXG and it’s probably not worth panicking too much after just one Gameweek. Although for some people perhaps it’s just dawned on them that penalties can be very handy in FPL, and Salah is probably worth owning long term whilst they are the same price.

    Urgh, how did Plymouth lose this. At 55th minute they were 2-0 up and cruising, nearly 70% possession, 25 shots. I was looking forward to facing Spurs in the next round... 🙁

      Me too but it would have only been Spurs under 23's which would have been a chance to progress to R4 (I can't remember the last time Argyle got that far)

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Still would have been good to knock out Jose.

        I remember getting to the quarters a few years back...

        Just looked, it was 2007 😯 FA Cup quarter final against Watford. Lost 1-0, but we deserved to win that game...

          Yes remember that one, I was at the Watford semi in 1984 as well.

          1. Piggs Boson

            Jealous of that. Before my time.

              Great atmosphere, good game I was looking down the line of the Kevin Hodges shot that looked in but spun on the first bounce.

                What a legend.

          The last time they made R4 in the EFL was 1973-74 I was at the semi against City that year but was too long to remember it.

    3. YellowStone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I know so gutted about that. Thrown it away.

  2. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ali and Werner for:

    A) Fernandes and Richarlison

    B) Rashford and Martial

    Can't decide!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers. You think richarlison over DCL? I think Richi looked better than DCL, very dangerous.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tough start, no Mo, 41 points. Was going to roll FT but got some thinking to do now with Alli & Puli on board.

      McCarthy (Steer)
      Trent, Doc, Tierney
      Auba, Kai, Puli*, Alli
      Tony, Che, DCL

      (Soucek, KWP, Ferguson*)

      1. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ouch. Pulisic, Havertz and Alli in midfield. Very harsh.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Needless to say I was hoping for a little more than 3 points between them ! lol. You win some you lose some. Onto GW2, plenty of points to be had.

          1. xHaTr
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Admire the positivity

              3 years, 6 months ago

              I've played the game long enough to know some weeks are shite, others incredible, it is what it is, got to have some fun regardless, life too short to grumble mate

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ouch

        Thing is that midfield (mostly) could be gold in a couple of weeks. Decent front-line you have there if DCL is going to be good DCL.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah not bad on paper, decided to spread funds in the hope at least one would produce the goods but to no avail, captaincy was the main issue, thought Leeds would be harder to break down and got sucked into what I felt was dodgy pre season form from Mo. I knew the risks, got punished this time, can't complain.

      3. Sloane426
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wildcard

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Haha, no chance

    3. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      McCarthy
      Dier-Taa- Taylor-Egan
      Harertz-Ali-Auba
      Adams-Werner-martial

      4m-Soucek-Biss-Mitchell

      Would you WC this lot?. Is that too rash.

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Too rash

      2. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No, just ditch Havertz and Alli.

      3. SINGH
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would to avoid price increases

        1. International Richard
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          There will be price rises weekly. Not sure a price rise is the correct rational to justify a WC (although i'm not saying he shouldn't WC)

          1. SINGH
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            True but my reasoning was if he WCs now then he can get a good base of players now which will last a few game weeks with little changes. Tbh I am contemplating WCing as well just not sure if I have to do it

      4. Budgies
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would

        3 years, 6 months ago

        I mean,I can find other tweets that said he looked OK after coming back on.

        It takes one false report, and its picked up like wild fire these days.
        He could have a problem, but he could be fine.

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It appears that majority of the people are going from Ings to Martial with Jimenez being overlooked.

          Jimenez has a good run fixtures beyond the City game and appears to be in decent form.

          Martial on the other hand, has had no preseason so could merely be a gamble pick over Jimenez

          Any thoughts guys?

          1. Dhanesh Prabhu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Worth noting that Jiminez scored against City last season.

      Triple Everton and Triple Wolves on wildcard 😆

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oh man im only triple everton and single wolves

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You don't fancy Podence?

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Went with Harrison. Waiting to see how nailed podence is

            1. Fudgy
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              50/50 between Harrison and Podence for me. Both seem great!

              1. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Yupyup. Will switch to podence in gw4 if he seems nailed

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Digne and Hames for me.. Still keeping faith with Werner.. Which wolves? Jimenez?

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'm on Digne, James, DCL and Coady, Saiss, Podence atm lol.

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Have Podence and Klich

      3. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        At least you got one team right 🙂

        If DCL has his shooting boots it could be gold. Some good fixtures for that defence to get it right.

        Much more sceptical than most about Everton defence, First half they could have had two in and then Mou switched tactics - not sure there was much to say that second half improvement was Everton's doing

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Agree on Everton defence but now they play dross

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yep they do

            Should be cs there. Very nearly went Keane from the off but naturally got Davies.

            Pretty good at resisting peer pressure here but that was just weak of me

      4. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Trips Everton double wolves here too bro!

    13. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have to do it tonight or Im priced out.

      Alli and Ings >> Rodriguez and Martial for -4. Yay or nay?

      Dont like hits but it will be long term transfer until I decide hit WC GW3.

      1. SINGH
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why WC in GW3 if these are long term transfers? Might as well wait till WC

        1. Strchld
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Plan is to save WC anyway.

      2. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If you're going to WC in GW3 then don't take hits now

      3. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Im not sure at all should I play WC or not. Hopefully not.

    14. VAR United
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Screw it I'm pulling the WC trigger.

      Every team I want to get to is exact price now so a KDB price rise would rule them out.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've also wildcarded. We will be rewarded don't worry.

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Me too!

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            😀

        2. VAR United
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Convinced myself it’s not a knee jerk. Team will be setup for a few weeks

      2. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What happens when xyz transfers done before deadline day, and gw1 hits misfire, and the landscape has changed in 4 weeks.

        Thats what I'm telling myself to try and not hit the wc.

        1. VAR United
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          The majority of my players I’ve got in are integral to their teams so won’t be shoved out. Anyone else can just be the FT for that week

          1. jason_ni
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            id hazard a guess and say that most the players you wildcarded are key to their teams as well, unless you went for a load of punts.
            But go with your gut, last year I waited till gw 5, played wc, and had probably my worst gw of the season(6mill.rank, kdb bemched for norwich) so holding it didnt exactly work out last season for me!

      3. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wildcarding 3 days into the new season, with such uncertainty surrounding the international break, and the transfer window is very rash. 3/4 transfers can sort any team out right now.

        1. VAR United
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It’s a fair point. Last year jumped on early price rises aswell and it ended quite well (top 1k). These price rises are killer.

        Welcome to the club buddy! Act fast and reap the rewards!!

      Trent, Son, Werner most sold players?

      Bruno/KDB, Martial replacements?

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just pure knee jerking - they won’t be top 3m by end of season

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes I will. Likely another top 10k.

      2. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        I’ve just sold all 3 on my WC! Currently outside top 3mil but taking action to fix that!! 😉

    17. n-doggg

      A. Bruno (-4)

      bale 31 been golfing for 2 years

      alli lazy and crap for at least 2 years

      i imagine perez and levy are both thinking they have shafted each other, in reality its a turd for a turd...

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bale wasn’t a turd, he was part of a Madrid team that won the CL team 4 times. Alli meanwhile has done F all

    19. Sloane426
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not taking a hit so can only pick 1
      (A) Ings > Martial
      (B) Alli > Rodríguez

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A

      2. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B

      3. COLLIN QUANER
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably B but I would save

    20. Will J 256
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I know it’s a silly question, but when do you think I should make the move from Alli to James Rodriguez?

      Dead set on bringing him in for GW2 however not sure whether to pull the plug now?!

    21. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      De Bruyne or Sterling?? Tempted by going with sterling on WC

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        In a completely different situation, rolling the FT this GW, but am planning to bring in Sterling for Leeds away if that helps. KDB seems the safe bet though.

      2. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm on kdb 😀

      3. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling for me

      4. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can't beat kdb with pen duty. If he stays on them which i think he will he's on for a 300 point season

      5. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm planning KDB set and forget, and then a Sterling double up vs whipping boys. Will likely captain Sterling in those games. KDB is a little more fixture-proof than Sterling, but Sterling is more explosive. Things can change though...

    22. Schliegs

      If ASM is a doubt that means if I don’t do
      Vinagre + Pulisic > Digne + Hames I’ll be staring at a blank. Silver linings people.

      Also Davis with a 30 minute cameo and a goal, does that hint at minutes come the weekend?

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years

        ASM a doubt?

        Steve Bruce says Allan Saint-Maximin is okay after late injury scare. Believes there is "nothing to worry about".

    23. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Surely Alli doesn’t really go to Real

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        fantasy island isnt it, but seems likely

        Jonny Woodgate was there too lol

    24. BNMC

      Would you start Saka over any of these?

      TAA Digne Tierney Dallas
      Auba Havertz Harrison
      Kane DCL Wilson

      1. Eytexi

        no chance, great first sub though.

      4. Eytexi

        I like A, although I love the look of Richarlison at 8m even as a DCL owner myself.

        If you have Martial, I think that's enough United cover. Martial & DCL without bruno/rashford IMO.

      A. Hendrick (mid)

    28. Tinmen
      • 10 Years

      Is Son and Nketiah to
      JamesRod and DCL worth a hit folks?

      I could go Greenwood but not convinced

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nkethiah is unlikely to start and DCL seems good so even if he foes not score would argue its only a -2. I would.
