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.

    Plan was Salah to Fernandez free this gw Salah hatrick got my plans juggled up. Always played the game chasing team value for the first part of the season to get the team you actually want for remaining 18 games.

    Should I

    A) Still with the plan do Salah to Fernandez

    B) Take hit get rid of Son and Kane for Fernandez Calvert or Martial -4

      i also planned to sell Salah for Bruno, but it seems silly now. He loops sharp and the Chelsea defence dont. Im rolling transfer and sorting it with 2 FT next week.

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

      Just Kane to Martial imo. Son will be dangerous against Southampton defence.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

    Anything worth fixing?

    1. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Could save to get man c and united for gw3

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

      Save

  3. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    2 questions
    How long until price changes
    Are you guys reluctant to double/triple up on teams in case of that chance their game will be wiped out because of covid or am i thinking too much

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't think of that. but it's a good point.

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

      No premier league much better at enforing things. No game postponed yet since june so i wouldnt worry about it

    3. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      this is actually something that probably needs to be thought about yeah

  4. Silva’s Left Nut
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    coleman or keane?

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

      Coleman

      Playing well and not in danger of being rotated at the moment. Plus he is the captain

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mustard

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

        bangers or mash?

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

      I have gone for Keane myself. Holgate is injured for a while so Keane should be pretty secure at CB. He is also more of a threat at set pieces than Coleman

  5. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno dcl
    (Or)
    Martial jrod

    1. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I personally prefer A, but it's close. I did Ings to Martial for free so considering whether to take a hit on another move

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

      Tough one, all good picks, probably Bruno DCL but the latter may prove to be better value.

    3. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno DCL

  6. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Alli to JRod worth a hit?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I will do this if Alli looks like falling, I need the cash for future 8.5 mid in the future (Pulisic?)

    3. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      alli to anyone is probably worth a hit

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

    Werner and Alli to DCL and Bruno? -4

    1. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On paper yes
      Reality different story

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes this is the template move.

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just did these a second ago

    4. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes, get alli out before he drops

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably gonna drop tomorrow night

    5. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years

      Potentially Foden

    4. elchilangles

      3 years, 6 months ago

      grealish or foden

  10. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Better choice
    A) Lamptey, far more attacking, potential risk of rotation
    B) Webster, less attacking potential, supposedly more nailed on

    1. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

  11. Worsle90
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Bellerin
    Auba, KDB, Bruno, Harrison, Hendrick
    Martial, Wilson

    Nyland, Mitchell, Amartey, Brewster?

    0.5 ITB for Martial - Werner GW3 if seems worthwhile

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Brewster will come good when he is sold... Hopefully to us :). I'd save FT

  12. Jackson99
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    TAA + Alli to James + Fernandes

    Am I crazy?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This option crossed my mind

    2. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      seems like a net positive

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I can see no price rises happening tonight with the wc distortion

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      what time would they be at

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Around 3pm it was last night

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good call 🙂

  14. Better luck next year
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Auba or Bruno as captain for GW2?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Aubameyang

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

      Auba

    3. Silent Hunter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The new highest paid player at Arsenal!

  15. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    any players you think might rise twice this week?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can’t see any rising twice tbh

    2. Silent Hunter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hopefully no

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If Bruno/Martial rise tonight, they might rise again on Friday night. Also maybe Willian and Bamford who got the first rise last night.

  16. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Not the best first gw... Quite stubborn and gut says save FT but concerned about Pulisic... Great fixture in gw3 though.

    Mccarthy
    TAA Doh Egan
    Aubam Pulisic Barnes ASM
    Werner Ings martial
    (Nyland, Burke, Mitchell, KWP)

    A) Save FT
    B) Pulisic to Rodriguez
    C) Other

    1. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pulisic was fit vs brighton

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

        No he wasnt

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Reaggravated it in training not sure how bad yet

    2. Silent Hunter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  17. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Original plan was to save but I don't see anything wrong with Son -> Rodriguez here. Great fixtures coming up- Likely to be more attacking and heavily involved. Prob going to see a goal or 2 soon as well.

    Saving 1.5m in the process + am going to take hits and prob remove Son next week anyway. Spurs have a brutal schedule and they have a lot of improving to do and not just from GW 1.
    Thoughts?

    McCarthy.
    Shaw, Ayling, TAA, Justin.
    Son, Auba(c), Salah.
    Werner, DCL, Adams.
    Button, Saint-Max, Biss, Mitchell.
    1 ft, 0.5m ITB.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Adams, Son to KDB, brewster

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It does sound like you’re trying to convince yourself, but for me it’s not the right move yet, Spurs will of had a rocket up their a$$ after that game, Spurs will score a couple past Southampton i reckon, Son the perfect type of player to annoy & punish sellers, i’m keeping him anyway, too early for James as yet i feel, where we know what Son can do.

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

      I am worried about removing Son before Southampton. Their line was so high and Son has the pace to capitalise.

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you bought son you have to give him more than a week

  18. Ramsays Raw Steak
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really hope mitro doesnt drop price
    And score a hatti + assist

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Certainly hope so as well, him dropping to 5.9 would look wrong, lets just hope he doesn't drop and scores just 1 goal first though haha

  19. Better luck next year
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one of these players:

    A) Holding, WHU H
    B) James, LIV H
    C) Adams, TOT H

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Depends on how fast it disappeared or sped off.

  21. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which?

    A) werner ali -4 to dcl bruno, upcoming fix. Asm to podence
    B) ings ali -4 to jrod martial, will allow asm to barnes later

    Gw3 ings/werner to jimi

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Comes down to if you'd prefer Bruno or Martial in the end really, for me i'd go A, both look very strong options though

  22. Jasօn
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts please on my WC

    Pickford
    Doherty - Castagne - Digne
    Auba (Salah next week) - KDB - Greenwood - Bruno Fernandes
    DCL - Bamford - Watkins

    Bench - Ryan (good rotation) - Dallas - Mitchell - Oriol Romeu

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good imo, attack may be week but the strong midfield and defenders make up for it, brave going without TAA though.
      Any back up if Salah rises between here and next week?

      1. Jasօn
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I have Salah in the team now just in case he rises and forces me to keep him. I'm hoping he doesnt rise until the weekend in which I would switch to auba before deadline and transfer back in next gw 🙂

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          sounds like you're a man with a plan

    2. Ramsays Raw Steak
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood nailed?

      1. Jasօn
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Dallas chomping at the bit just incase he isnt! I cant see him being dropped...

  23. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pulled the trigger on Son Kane out for Calvert Fernandez -4

    I only took 8 hits last season this will be one I take on the chin to much hype being Spurs fan. Thursday we travel so that will take it out of the players I reckon tired legs come Sunday be draw at best. Where as WBA leak Palace leak Utd don't play and Calvert will likely be rested.

      Nust Kane to Martial, Son can heavily punish as said above imo

        true I wanted keep Son he could drop in value I don't want to lose any value I want to WC GW4-5

          Can’t see Son dropping this early man. Plans will always change also regarding wc etc, but do what you feel is right. For me he’s a keep though at least for another game. If he underperforms next game then can transfer him out with less doubt and more conviction.

    Do we think Barnes is a rotation risk? Surely Leicester don’t go back to a back 5

    What is price rise time fellas? I thought it was 2AM or was it 4?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      2:30 i think? So in about 7 mins before being locked out

      1. FPL Theorist

        Yes, that's correct.

        Cool thanks. Can’t sleep so I thought I may as well check how much extra I’m going to have to pay for KDB and Bruno soonish!

    Anyone else reckon Palace will be a much more difficult opening fixture for Man United than first suggested, especially given they already have a competitive game under their belt?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly what i thought. I do expect United to win, but not by many, like maybe a 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agree it will be a tight affair prob like a 2-1.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, although I think for most getting the players in before rises is more important than just 1 fixture. Certainly would've been better off with an 'easier' opening fixture though

      I don't. Think people are putting too much emphasis on their GW1 cleaner. Southampton had an off day and still managed two big chances. United to score three or more.

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just feel that United will be a bit rusty with lack of preseason games, but hope they prove me wrong!

    Alli or Vinagre first to go from this lot? 0ITB

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Justin Egan (Vinagre, Mitchell)
    Salah Auba Havertz Alli ASM
    Werner Adams (Davis)

      I've got the same issue and focussing on Alli first

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, that's what I'm thinking too. Don't like the fact that Mou subbed him for tactical reasons...this suggests he could do the same again when he's not happy with the Spurs system...although it will depend on their opponents also!
        If he's close to price drop I will take him out if not think I will give him the Saints game.

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

          Same here. Was hoping to let him let me down 1 more week, but according to fpl stats he is over 90% to a price drop... Seems unlikely he will make it to the GW without a drop.
