Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2?

They spent most in PL and didn't improve team

Ramsdale is 23. Alisson, Ederson, Mendy were nowhere to be seen at 23. The backlash for the signing is a bit harsh.

They're signing young and hopefully malleable to Arteta's mould

In my opinion Odegaard is a good transfer, especially that they needed creativity upfront. Ramsdale is not that bad, but you could argue about the point of spending 30m on a reserve goalkeeper. Generally I would say, that their recruitment is quite uninspiring, imho it's not that bad as people say, but also you could spend the money in a much better way.

What’s surprising is the amount they have spent so far. Inter signed Dumfries for only £14m + add ons. Imagine if Arsenal use Dumfries as right back instead of Chambers who is not naturally a right back.

They need a more experienced centre back to het them back into the champions league but Arteta thinks Ben White is capable of doing that.

Nothing wrong in signing Bonucci, Boateng etc for the experience especially in that position.

They signed Ødegaard too when they could easily have gotten someone better.

Sold Willock, Martinez, then bring in Ramsdale.

Arteta will be sacked soon imo. He is clueless

a 'spending spree' which involved getting SOL CAMPBELL on a free, jesus

I think White and Odegaard are fantastic signings, whether you consider the fees or not.

Arteta is the problem at Arsenal. He has a squad with two players for every position and they don't even have an excuse of playing in Europe impacting their PL performance this season.

Too often Arteta gets tactically outsmarted and doesn't know how to respond. He doesn't have Man City's squad so can't impose Arsenal on the opposition in the same way Man City can. It requires compromise and smart thinking (something a manager like Sean Dyche has) to get the most out of the lesser resources (i.e., players) you have compared to the bigger and similar clubs and, so far, Arteta has been found wanting.

I have seen it too many times with Arteta to now know that he isn't tactically good enough to get more out of Arsenal. Individual player ability is a component of success, but tactics are too (see Bielsa, for example).

To much malakia in your team

Why make a transfer?

Its tempting but want to see what pep says in conf - not that he will give us much

Yes, but do your own team

Easy solution, make your own decisions and stop hanging off the words of others

I won’t be surprised if Mark sells Ferran Torres for Greenwood before the deadline without announcing it.

so they are looking after your team aren't?

Don't pay attention to the "gods" smh

To be fair, there are quality mortals down here putting forward convincing cases on both sides.

C

a

A over C, just.

Similar situation to me. I'm currently on c only just over a.

It's a close call. Let's here what pep says.

Wait and see what Pep says but unless confirmed out why would you bench Gundo

Save

Locked in the team sheet before Newcastle at home?
I'm not daft 😀

No offense intended, but using two transfers on THAT seems completely crazy.
Even if Robbo is back in training they might delay him starting to keep him from int. duty.
Selling Barnes before Norwich could bite you in the *** - HARD.

At some point Greenwood is not guaranteed to start. With Cavani & Martial back in fitness with Sancho up to date he could be benched now and then. Especially if Pogs is favoured more on the flank.

Seems like you're using 2 transfers = 8 points to downgrade a defender and a risky sideways move in midfield.
Surely something better will come up after GW2 had played out.

Prob back GW4 or 5 best just to put in Tsimikas. First wreck a game weeks in fpl your better off going all cheap defenders. And wheres the bucket?
#bringbackthe bucket

No need for manc cover. Seeing a draw game

Grealish?

Torres won’t start imo

Same boat
Could work could backfire
We’ll want Barnes back next GW too

Bench him, he isn't injured and is back next week.

Tough. Probably Alonso.

Surely there's someone else you can bench. Tuchel might just make the decision for you.

Hold. He has Norwich in GW3.

Hold

I like the look of Barnes vs whu more than Benrahma vs. LEI.
Also keep GW3 in mind.
Wait till GW4 if Benrahma keeps looking good.

I looked at that move mate but have decided to hold, I like the idea of having Antonio and Barnes, one from each attack for the Monday night game and then he’s got Norwich after too!!

He’s a great pick. Thankfully I started with him so don’t have the dilemma of wondering how many starts he’ll get.

Who you looking to sell?

next week its someone else

For who?

Grealish*

Mostly good, not a fan of Bamford and Cancelo picks tho

All good apart from (turns up during the transfer window) Pogba, and the ( covid overhyped diving) Grealish 🙂

Ballsy!

Imagine how many will sell Salah if he blanks with Chelsea then international break up next.

am I reading this correctly?

Hahahahaaha joke

Tempted by this

I don't think so. Unless you keep clicking next page until you get to the end!

On the link, you see 1 at the first page, remove that number and type 50 or 70 or 100, you will find the last page fast and easier.

Until he’s injured again.

Long as he stays injury FREE, which is not going to long based on history.

Yeah. Raya for me. For the save points at least

Hold

A

Sarr then Moura

Might go Salah to Son next GW if it looks like Salah might have to miss GW4 due to quarantine but can imagine that would be a popular move

My plan all along was Salah to Bruno for GW3 and then Son to Salah for GW5.

Salah to KDB

did you bench boost last week or something?

I would bench Benrahma, but I'm also a Barnes owner - Benrahma non-owner 😉

Barnes owner and rather jealous of the Benrahma owners tbh

A23

3 and 2

thanks both

Yeah I would.

Same want to but the safest option is to go Salah/Bruno, Mahrez will still be a differential

Well with all the debates around Bruno or Salah captaincy , i would have gone Mahrez if i had him.

I believe you chose that defensive options because you had a plan. To take a hit for a 4.5 def for White looks like bad management to me. Everton will score Vs Leeds so you need Ayling to score again, and Arteta have shown that he does pretty good Vs TOP teams defensively. And Veltman probably not long term so not a huge problem and to cover Sanchez 2 pointer, what is the point in that?

Sounds about right. He won't offer much in attack

Oooh I can run away from Smith-Rowe now 😀

Why? Does he offer any goal threat or assist threat?

You mean 4.5 mid? He is a typical assisting the assister kind of player so 5.5 seems ok ish.
