And, new for 2025/26, we’ll also round up Sunday’s defensive contribution (DC/DefCon) points, too.

These stats are available for our subscribers immediately after full-time in every Premier League game.

    No knee-jerkiness here.

    Sels 2, Wirtz 2, King 2, Saka 3, Bowen 2, Watkins 2 and Pedro 2.

    Not sure, I have ever had three 2's from a front trio.

    Keeping every one of them in for next week.

      that's the spirit! Think I'm going to have an ultra cautious, patient type of season come what may. Ignore much of the noise and treat it like chess; a move here, a move there. We're exposed to a lot of short term success in FPL now and I think that causes us to panic somewhat. Slow, steady, slow, steady

      Likewise. Have Wirtz, Watkins (plus Rogers) and Bowen of those. Only really worried about Bowen - but can jump off him if need be to a 7.5 (Mateta, Wood, Pedro) when see a bit more.

    Wirtz > Saka with the FT?

    Rest of the team looks like:

    Sanchez

    Richards Frimpong Milenkovic Esteve VDV

    Palmer Gakpo Reijnders Saka/Wirtz Rogers

    Haaland Pedro

    If you have no Haaland, no Arsenal and no Bournemouth what is the downside to playing free hit next week?

    Struggling to see how there will be a better time in the first half of the season with no GW doubles.

      tottenham isnt an ideal fixture for haaland. if u dont want him long term but want him for a week, then surely someone like burnley or brentford or some other crap team is better idea

      arsenal didnt look great going forward. i want saka but wouldn use fh for it

      The thing with FH in a full single GW is there's a chance your initial team outscores the FH. Not like Citeh play Burnley at home, Spurs usually put up a fight at Etihad. Arsenal underwhelmed today and we don't know how solid Leeds might look yet (or not). Wouldn't be shocked if GW1 flops like Watkins did well in GW2.

    For a long term plan and not just GW 2, what is the best way to spend 17.5 million?

    a) Wirtz and Watkins (Have Salah and Konsa)

    b) Palmer and Evanilson (Have Cucurella and Pedro)

    c) Palmer and Richarlison +0.5 (Have Cucurella and Pedro)
