FPL Gameweek 2 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Kostas Tsimikas (£4.1m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) produced double-digit Fantasy Premier League (FPL) hauls and Manchester City demolished Norwich City 5-0 on a busy Saturday of Premier League football. Let’s take a peek at the Gameweek 2 round-up!

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of today’s games but in the meantime, our long-dormant Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

KEY FPL TAKEAWAYS

  • Alexander-Arnold made it 7.75 points per match in his last 12 appearances with a double-digit haul against Burnley. Tsimikas followed suit with an 11-point return but the presence of the fit-again Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) on the Liverpool bench does perhaps signal that the budget defender’s run in the side could be coming to an end.
  • Brentford and Liverpool are the only two sides with two Premier League clean sheets to their name so far this season. The Bees and Crystal Palace played out a goalless draw at Selhurst Park on Saturday; the two sides’ defences have allowed a combined 56 shots so far this season but have only conceded one big chance apiece.
  • In the continued absence of Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.0m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.1m) claimed responsibility for Everton’s spot-kick in the 2-2 draw with Leeds. A total of 34 shots were shared evenly between the two clubs at Elland Road.
  • It’s two goals from three shots for Danny Ings (£8.0m) this season. He is the only current FPL forward whose conversion rate was in excess of 20% in each of the previous two Premier League campaings. He looks to be second in line for penalties at Aston Villa, however, as Anwar El Ghazi (£6.0m) stepped up to take the Villans’ spot-kick on Saturday.
  • Pep Guardiola made five changes to his Manchester City starting XI, saying ahead of kick-off that he “wants to make everyone involved.” Ferran Torres (£7.0m) was again ‘out of position’ up top as Gabriel Jesus (£8.5m) excelled in a right-wing role while two of the benched players, Riyad Mahrez (£9.0m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.0m), found the net – as did Jack Grealish (£8.0m).
  • Another £4.0m defender, Shane Duffy (£4.0m), rolled back the years with a goal from a Pascal Gross (£6.0m) corner in Brighton’s win over Watford. He has had seven headed efforts from set-play situations this season – three more than any other Premier League player.

INJURY WATCH

FPL Gameweek 2 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries 5

As mentioned above, Robertson returned from a brief spell on the sidelines along with Jordan Henderson (£5.0m) and Thiago Alcantara (£5.5m).

Ashley Westwood (£5.5m) and Matej Vydra (£5.5m) missed out with a toe injury and a knock respectively, with James Milner (£5.0m) also absent because of a knock – all three players’ issues are thought to be minor in nature.

Kevin De Bruyne‘s (£12.0m) ankle problem kept him out of Manchester City’s win over Norwich, meanwhile.

Robin Koch (£4.5m) sat out Leeds’ draw with Everton because of a pelvic problem, while Rafael Benitez gave an update on Calvert-Lewin’s fitness after full-time:

He’s had a problem with his toe. He has not been doing full training sessions in the last 10 days. He is missing a little bit of the stamina to finish the games in the way he wants to finish them.

Leon Bailey (£6.5m) missed Villa’s win over Newcastle with a hamstring injury, with the Mapgies’ Isaac Hayden (£4.5m) aggravating a knee problem.

Minutes after scoring Brighton’s second goal, Neal Maupay (£6.5m) picked up a shoulder injury that led to his half-time withdrawal.

Graham Potter said of his striker:

Hopefully, it’s just a few days/weeks, that’s what we’re hoping for.

FPL OWNERSHIP AND CAPTAINCY – TOP 10k

While it’s still early days to be trusting the top 10,000 as a barometer of FPL performance, the figures are often a sight more useful than the overall ownership numbers when it comes to assessing active Fantasy managers.

Tsimikas is owned by more FPL managers than even Alexander-Arnold in the top 10k, with Salah and Fernandes – as is so often the case – the only two players whose ‘effective ownership’ is in excess of 100%.

Fernandes and Salah mopped up a combined 95% of the captaincy in the top 10k.

While the Egyptian blanked, there was joy for many of the armband differentials such as Mahrez, Ings, Alexander-Arnold and Grealish.

    I have a sneaky feeling that, Bruno will not punish anyone.

      I have a sneaky feeling - goal, assist and bonus.

      Owners as well as non-owners? 7-8pts?

    3. Sourabh

      united game will be torture, only shaw and fernandes with so many Bruno(C) and greenwood

      1. Mr. O'Connell

        Grow up. No Bruno at all here.

      2. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not so many. Salah was so many.

      3. Amartey Partey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I can't wait! I have Bruno(c), Pogba, and Greenwood.

      Why and how do you do this?

  2. Pachi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez - steele
    Tta - shaw - coufal - tsimikas - veltman
    Salah - son - bruno - benrahma - gilmour
    Antonio - ings - perica
    0.0 itb 2ft

    What would you do here?
    Main issues i guess is veltman and tsimikas.. should i replace tsimikas with duffy so i will have for sure a starter defender of brighton? But i dont know i lf i want to double up brighton defence, even triple up, with sanchez already there?
    Any advices?

    1. Sensible Shocker
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Veltman is due back 26th.

      Tsimikas is an issue, but at least one the whole world has, and you may get more games anyway.

      I have similar team and transfers will be used to start to prepare move for Kane or Lukaku...

  3. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So.. with people starting to transfer Tsimikas out, I don't think we are able to bank that 0.1. Too bad, thanks for the points anyway!

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Tsimikas might go down fast when people realize he doesnt play anymore

  4. Lord of Ings
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed:-

    Sanchez foster
    Taa shaw tsimikas ayling Coufal
    Salah bruno mahrez Barnes brownhill
    Ings Antonio perica

    2 FT,0 ITB
    Choose one of:-
    A)mahrez+Brownhill--->Benrahma+Sarr/raphinha (sarr has great fixtures after gw3) Antonio (c)
    B)mahrez+brownhill +trent--->Son+Tanganga+Benrahma(-4) Son (c)
    Which one?

    1. Luben Dias
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You've spammed this like 4 times. I like the look of A though

    2. Punter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your team is basically the same as me, swap Ayling, Barnes and Perica for Amartey, Greenwood, Obafemi. Who did you captain this week?

      I like A, you get 2 useful players for 1. Don't like B why give up on Trent he's creating chances has 1 assist already. Sure next 2 fixtures he's unlikely to CS but he may get returns. Is Tnaganga nailed? Only good thing about B) is Son captain.

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

    Does duffy have any competition?

    Or is he likely to play most games?

    Tsmi -> Duffy looks good

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      have 2 ft and thinking just tsimikas>duffy and banking another week

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

        This is what I'm thinking!

        Would have been nice to bank 0.1 on tsmi, but may not happen now.

        1. drughi
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          yeah and duffy going up fast also

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I’m considering this too

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's got competition. But could conceivably start every game too.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Veltman can slot in at RWB until Lamptey returns, and then Potter resumes his roulette

  6. Respect My Authoritah
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Just looking ahead and seen that United's bad fixture run dovetails so nicely with Chelsea's good run.

    And then gw14/15 onwards looks insanely good for United again.

    Chopping and changing the big hitters really does seem like a viable option this year!

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same view

      Its why im thinking of using a WC early, maybe now and not use it for Chelsea /City when i can downgrade Bruno and Salah then possibly

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ah, I'm actually thinking about using it in gw7 to swap 3 United for 3 Chelsea, along with a load of other changes. Also considering doing Salah to KDB for a few weeks at that point

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          thats my thinking and why im going off that time to WC

          Since it would be a WC to move Salah and Bruno which are cash cows and by moving them you already generate cash

      2. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But Chelsea- United fixture turn happens in 7-8. Why would you WC now?
        A bit confused here. Can you share your thoughts?

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Basically im coming around to the idea that a WC to move Bruno/Salah to City mids and Lukaku may not be needed

          Since i wont want Bruno and Salah with City and Chelsea have their fixture run i may look to target another time period

          One such option is now when leeds , spurs, arsenal (Tierney) have some excellent fixtures coming,

          Still looking into it, but favor it at the moment ( and its not a kneejerk , im on 150 points with 5 to play)

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I played hokey cokey all year long last season and had my best points total in ten seasons. It is a strategy that certainly has merit particularly with the home advantage we are saying for potential captains.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed, need lukaku to settle well

    4. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I might even go rudiger, Mount and lukaku for Shaw, greenwood and Bruno
      So many dovetails. Jimenez/Antonio is another I’ve noticed. DCL/Bamford

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but United attacking assets can still do well in those games.

  7. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Went for Salah (C) over Bruno partly due to EO expectations and partly for home crowd but my gut was to go for Bruno so annoyed about that. Hoping for a blank somehow for him so no loss on the decision and to keep an almost perfect start to the season.. sure loads of others in the same position!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t beat yourself up, he could have had a haul on another day - easy to forget that a large part of this game is purely chance

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, the Salah past form against Burnley and their better defence makes me think possibly that was the time to go against the grain but as you say he could have hauled nevertheless

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You should already have accepted and gotten over the fact that Bruno has hauled, anything from here is a bonus 😉

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It happens. Salah was a hairline offside. Had a chance blocked on the line, and Mane could have slotted him in for an easy finish. Onto the next

    4. Del Griffith
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Prob best to hide behind the sofa. Captain blanks is part of the game, just gotta take it on the chin and move on mate

    5. gergin
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep calm, he won`t score hattrick every week. Todey he will make triple assists for Greenwood 🙂

    6. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aye, it’s those against gut ones that hurt

      Personally my gut said start with Raya, captain bruno gw1 and captain Ings this week

      Got to stop letting the “sensible choice” massive influence my decisions

    7. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not happening 🙂

  8. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Reguilon Veltman (!)
    Salah Bruno Son (C) Barnes Benrahma Antonio Toney

    White(!) Tsi

    1 FT 0ITB If Veltman is Okay then save?

    Would be nice to have 2 transfers after IB. Thoughts?

  9. Lord of Ings
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    G2G for next week?

    Sanchez
    Taa coufal shaw
    Barnes raphinha salah Fernandes benrahma
    Antonio (c) ings

    Foster ayling brownhill perica*

    1. JT11fc

      Solid. Like the captain choice

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. You sold Tsimi?

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I've tsimikas for brownhill sorry.
        My bad!

  10. tricpic
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Matip nailed? As a cheaper route into LFC defence post Tsimi?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, nailed until he’s injured imo

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't think Konaté will get eased in?

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  11. THL33
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Buendia vs Brentford or Sarr vs spurs?

    1. Luben Dias
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Buendia surely.

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Lukaku does well tonight, I'm getting Lukaku as my 3rd premium attacker instead of Son. Thoughts?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Problem here is even Son limits the rest of the team

      Another 1.5mil is tough

      I started with Bruno salah son

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How the hell do you fit 3 premiums? Unless you’re ditching TAA and some others

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It's actually not too difficult with Son. Without Son it becomes tricky

      2. FPL_trail_runner
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        2 premiums are all thats needed i think, and hop on and hop off /rotate them

        These weeks Son and Bruno, then Salah for Son week 6.

        Maybe KDB, Lukaku week 7-10

      3. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did. But it hurt me elsewhere. No Ings/DCL and have Toney.

      4. Amartey Partey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Downgrade a good player to an average player so that you can have one 3 premiums and one average, or you can have 2 premiums and 2 good players.

        A. 3 premium + 1 average
        B. 2 premium + 2 good

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not convinced by that tbh. I can see Son getting similar/better points but for a considerable saving. The mid-priced forwards also look quite tasty this year.

    4. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Im going Lukaku instead of Salah, I have Jota as partial cover

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I can sell Salah/Ings > Son/Lukaku...
        ... but fact is I will want Salah back.

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      On wildcard I've got Salah, son, Vardy as my premiums with 1m itb to get Lukaku for villa if he looks sharp

    6. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No...a goalscoring midfielder always hold sway imo. You get the extra point for a goal and you've got cs points too.

  13. Pukki Blinders
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tsimi to a 4.0 defender (Livramento/Duffy) gives me that handy 0.1m to upgrade Ings to DCL…

    Is it worth going early on DCL to avoid getting priced out? Only issue is that my 2 FTs will be gone

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Makes sense with Villa fixtures and Everton form.

      Both good picks.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ings will be gone next week due to fixture turn, either for Jimi or DCL

    2. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      His selling price is still 4.0 unless he rises again.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep of course, assuming he rises which he’s on track to do

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You haven't gained the 0.1m yet

    4. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think Tsimi has to rise to 4.2 before you make 0.1 profit when you sell, if you bought him for 4.0)

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

      Looks like Duffy will rise first unfortunately

  14. Mcgugan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Dennis from Watford? Is he an option as a 7th attacker? Having him in allows he to have all the other players I want and an upgraded defence - very tempting…

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      King is back, so wouldn’t say he’s nailed

    2. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      His record before coming here is likr 2 goals in 25 games or something

      1. WHUFCSmith23
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But also as a winger who has converted to centre forward

      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd only consider him as part of a rotation plan, maybe with the 4th/5th defender. Playing every week would be a no

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am more interested in Cucho, although he only plays limited minutes so far

  15. AC/DC AFC

    Best budget midfielder?

    I like the look of Everton...

    So a) Doucouré

    Or B) Demarai Gray?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gotta be Gray, higher upside but also less nailed

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B)

      Such a great enabler too at 5.5

    3. gergin
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A is a sure starter. B is in rotation with Townsend and Iwobi for 2 places.

    DUNK(14), waiting to come on if Shaw, Maguire, Traore or Greenwood don't turn up.
    I put him as my number 2 on the bench, ahead of him was Digne who has already played as my roulette Zinchenko was Pepped out already.
    DUNK rhymes with DRUNK and SKUNK..
    I love PUNK and FUNK.
    Jesus(c) gave me some grace. x

      Funk and punk are polar opposites. Punk like punk and nothing else.

        Punk can be Funky and you can get Funky Punk.

      Ings, Antonio

      Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but rumours that Ben White has tested positive for COVID.

      1. gergin
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great, will miss internationals and will be ready for W4. Not an option for W3 anyway.

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ooo, haven't seen that, cheers. Bit annoyed at myself for picking him without too much thought but the saving grace is the other option (Veltman) hasn't played yet!

      3. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Would the ref flag prevent his price fall?

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          It will increase his price fall.

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs defence under Nuno could be interesting. Some decent 4.5 options if nailed..are you considering any?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I got Dier from the start and he will graduate from my bench to starting xi in GW3

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'd have thought he is backup to Romero and sanchez

          1. Buck The Trent
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I pick Dier because he is the same mould as Coady

            Romero will be gradually introduced and he will be off for the WC qualifiers

      2. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm very interested. We just need to figure out which one is nailed. And then stretch to Reguillen for 5m

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I assumed he cost 5.5 :O

          Nailed with attacking potential. Got to be the standout option

          1. TheTinman
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Him and Tierney could be a nice pair to save £1m on the likes of Shaw and Digne.

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Definitely one to keep an eye one. Digne won’t keep clean sheets and definitely isn’t with 5.5

              However I think Shaw is underpriced tbf

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'll get Reguilon at some point in the season. A bit unsure on the 4.5 options at the moment

      4. FPL_trail_runner
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reguillon is easily the standout

        Some nice threads on twitter about him, he has been in the box and even at the CF position at times

        Saw he did that once even aganist City, may go there over TAA

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          In addition to TAA agree, not instead of. But quite an exciting player at 5.0 price point for sure.

          I’m looking at bringing at doing Tsmi & Barnes > Regulion Sarr by GW4

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yes could be the move

            Im just playing with ideas if i were to do an aggressive fixture based WC to try and be ahead of the fixture turns coming up, i also dont have TAA (tsmi , jota, salah)

            Targeting Watford , Norwich , Burnley etc could be a decent move this week if so

            Meslier
            Shaw Reguillon Pereira (Tierney, duffy)
            Son Bruno Delli Raphina (Biss)
            Vardy Bamford Antonio

            With Vardy a one week punt before DCL, and Son a place holder till week 5 Salah, Delli could be any of Sarr etc longer term

            Nothing set yet just looking at options

    6. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is it worth downgrading Mahrez to afford TAA for Tsimikas?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably not this week, but in general yeah, Trent will outscore Mahrez

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mahrez may play against The Arse who actually are resembling Norwich so I would not do that move at present tbh.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          GET DUNK!

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            GET DUFFY!

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              I'm looking at Duffy too. Got to look beyond the immediate fixtures.

              I've got a Stones shaped issue in my squad too. He was Rudiger all the way till 2 hrs before gw1 deadline when Chelsea fixtures persuaded me to change one of my first picks.

              1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I'm not in the mood to discuss Pep's backside ever again.

          2. Haa-lala-land
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Do you mean Duffy?

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Argh I'm always too slow

    7. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah ➡️ Son (c) my likely move this week unless there are any injuries. Feels like it might be a reasonably common transfer after the blank 🙁

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It books a transfer very soon in the future though which is putting me off. Unless you leave the 2.6m itb, it can result in hits galore

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh yeah I'm leaving the cash in the bank, and I've got 0.5 to spare. I'll absolutely be looking to get Salah back in gw5. Quite set on a gw7 wildcard so feel a little eased with that as a fallback

        2. Atimis
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I’ve already planned Gundo Salah to Benrahma Son this week and Ings to DCL the week after, would get Salah back for GW5

    8. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone else thinking of a Salah > Son hokey cokey for next two fixtures?

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It is something I would look at because it is hard to get Son in when you have Bruno and Salah.

      2. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yup. Will have more info in the middle of the week. Re Salahs gw4 blank

      3. Atimis
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sure thing

      4. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        What about Salah Bruno one if you already have Son..?

    9. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      Fan Team - any on here playing it?

      If so how are you getting on? Tips?

    10. dshv

      2ft and want to use one at least.

      Sanchez foster
      Taa shaw ayling white tsimi
      Salah bruno barnes greenwood raphinha
      Ings antonio obafemi

      Thinking about
      Ayling to dier (play dier)
      Ayling to duffy (keep 0.5)

      Tell me something ?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd keep Ayling ahead of White. White or Tsimikas to someone looks good.

      2. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ayling/white > Duffy

        1. Carlton P
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Would do Ings> DCL gw4

    11. FPL_trail_runner
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Norwich werent just poor yesterday

      Body language and players giving out even after the first 2-3 goals paints a bad picture

      They look very short on confidence and a good team to target potentially.

      Vardy this week and DCL in week 4 may be the move.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Toughest pair of fixtures to start, for probably the worst team. Can't blame them. They'll get better - just not now.

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If I could get to vardy I might be tempted

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 15 Years

        Vardy my gw3 captain. Norwich haven't learned a thing since last time

      4. Zimo
        • 6 Years

        DCL week 5?

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Vardy to DCL i meant in week 4 when leicester play city

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          A sneaky feeling is a lower level of witch craftery than a full on curse.

          Hope so at least as I'm on Bruno captain and need to capitalise on last week's 79k rank.

        2. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          We need confirmation that the witch doctor has sealed his fate.

        Reguilon at Spuds seems to be getting a lot of love. BRE have two cs but I'm not sure if that will continue for much longer. Ayling 4.5 is coming into good fixtures.
