Who are the best captain options in FPL Gameweek 3?

Right, not so much the 'best' as the 'only'. Hardly worth an article.

Diaby or Watkins, coin flip

Difficult game for Liverpool, would go with Salah

Salah has a tricky fixture but it's a lot of £££ to have on your bench. Probably Diaby as he played 90 mins, so did Watkins he scored a hatrick so will be buzzing!

Diaby or Watkins, Salah can return against every team and has returned last 4 out of 5 games against Newcastle (2 out of 3 games in 2022/2023 though which is more appropriate)

I'd bench Diaby as wouldn't go with a villa double up

50/50 in my book.
Losing two players for one position (Timber and Tomyasu) complicates matters. If Arteta keeps the same tactic, Kiwior can come in. However, if he starts Zinchenko, it will have a knock-on effect with the rest of the back line, which might be a Back 4 with Gabriel. Either option is quite feasible.
But it's worth also thinking 2 and 3 steps ahead. In GW4 Tommy will be available, and you're stuck with the same dilemma and risk of 1-point cameos.

We won't know for sure. Arsenal are unlikely to play with two inverted full-backs as it creates an imbalance. As Zinchenko is the only realistic option at left-back (Tierney and Tavares set to leave the club), it means Partey won't also be able to operate as an inverted right-back as Zinchenko will be the one to tuck into midfield. Logically, this should see White move across to right-back and Gabriel come in at centre-back to play alongside Zinchenko. I'm keeping Gabriel for one more week.

Eze has a few lovely home fixtures

Bailey - form and Liverpool leaky

Barnes - Newc fixtures getting better but needs to nail down LW spot

Ward-Prowse - Luton Cameo?

He was like 5 minutes away from signing for Sevilla. They dithered over a minor technicality, and the Arabs swooped in.

Oscar going to China type beat

A shame but can't blame him. 99% would do the same.

Yes can't see past Haaland (C) but VC is wide open, gone for Chillwell (VC) myself but would be happy with either Saka or Rashford

I watched him a few times when he played in attacking mid / as a box-to-box 8 before he picked up an injury and then was shifted around but he was excellent

He's a fantastic player and made a huge mistake accepting being transfered to Wolves, a team clearly beneath his talent and ability. Hopefully that mistake will be corrected.

Is Pedro likely to start with the Enciso injury? I’d probably keep as is

I would play J. Pedro over Pinnock!

good day to you sir.... its nice to see someone holding onto Salah like myself.

Onana
chilwell saliba estupinan
saka salah rashford diaby
harland wissa pedro

colwill,baldock,sarr

i did gabriel to saliba and hoping i dont need to do anything else this GW? i really want Jackson but not easy route

Tough one, but I think it’s worth the punt with those Chelsea fixtures!

I wouldn't this week

Shaw imo

Even tho jotas benchin makes more sense, i would still keep him with luis diaz probably injured.
ild bench gvardiol as i think sheiffield would like to play their best game ever against the PL last winner

Maybe not put it you off selling Watkins, but definitely make you question why you're removing Watkins for Jackson. What is it in Jackson that you've seen to ship for a relatively consistent and EPL proven striker like Watkins.

Jackson hasn't looked good at all so I'd still keep Watkins

save

Sold him on WC

Season keeper for me. Lots of value elsewhere to afford him and Haaland. And he's average 250 points since he came

Keeping him, with Kane gone, I can afford the players I want with him in.

Your sacrifice for the greater good will not go unnoticed

I guess Cash can haul more points from Burnley then Pedro can from a tight West Ham def.

Pedro

Cheers guys.... Which one then?
Leaning towards Shaw

D for me - surely Estu (especially) or Shaw could score big this week?

Don't know that's I'd have Salah on a WC.
Completely given up on United?
Not keen on Sterling.
Otherwise looks good!

salah in a WC?

Id get some Villa in there, fixtures look great

Not bad I suppose. No second keeper?

Pickford -> Flekken

or

Gabriel -> Henry

Similiar to mine. The only difference I have Watkings and Mitoma instead of Rashford and Jackson. GL

Nice team. Do you intend to have 2 4.5 defenders all season?

Man United starting XI:

Venki
Jurado - Mengi - Evans - Fernandez
Van de Beek - McTominay - Hannibal
Pellestri - Martial - Forson

Before anybody starts flapping.

Play him ahead of all of them

Last chance saloon for pigeon boy

No I’d not play him.

A + C

I think Pedro is an ok pick now that Enciso is out but he's the odd one out.
With Bruno you can wait one more game, as he had good chances to score, and Rashford and Martinelli are okay picks that need some time. Martinelli was involved in 2/3 of Arsenal's goals this season (assisting the assistert once but he made it happen).

Nay

No

Neigh.

"Enciso has suffered trauma to his left knee, in one of his club's training sessions" according to someone from the Paraguayan national team - Romano tweeted it too.

Yeah injured

Given it was reported by the Paraguayan FA, my assumption would be that he's at least out for the next 3-4 weeks (given the international break after GW4). Have seen some reports saying it's a meniscus tear

Interesting. I thought they had a cash crisis.

Solution: ignore all content creators 😛

I must be naive as I’ve never thought about this. Are content creators those that have YouTube videos and that?

sterling has been chelea's best player so far but i still dont see where the points come from in FPL

I like Sterling as a pick as it’s very much an old school on the pitch performance pick rather than a modern stat based one.

None this week
