FPL Gameweek 3 team news: Thursday’s injury updates

We live In a world of X

Apparently his attacking stats look k and home to Luton so it kinda makes sense

I agree and I have him! Wouldn’t be in a major rush to get him chelsea look poor and unfortunately I have 3 of them

I agree, for what it’s worth (which honestly ain’t much)

Look to the future and not to the past

I know.

But people love a fixture over everything it seems.

If only Alvarez was nailed. I reckon if he starts both the next 2 ( big IF) he will easily outscore Jackson . Where is Chelsea's creativity coming from?

Darwinism

He's the main (and currently only) striker of a team that faces LUT, NFO, bou, AVL, ful, and bur in the next 6 GWs. Not to mention that particular team has a ton to prove after spending like half a billion in the past few years. New hungry manager. Has nothing to do with data or content creators. It's the logical decision.

Meh. People have punted on players with great fixtures ever since FPL has been a thing.

And 2 yellows already. I'll pass.

you can see the desire he has, only a matter of time before he bags

Interesting point...difficult to avoid the content creator/twitter/xg etc hive mind..

Jackson pribabky wilk get something vs LUT, but is he a hoid puck based on the limited info. ? No.

Not when Wissa, Watkins, Alvarez have decent returns in better form teams already... with ok fixtures...

Most important stats are total points/points per match which factor in most elements, *then* underlying stats as support/confirmation...

Think this has largely been forgotten due to overload of content

Had a good preseason, has looked fine in early games and had chances. The above with an easy next fixture seems like a very good chance of a goal or more.

But.. But... It's Luton

People are living in a fantasy world, literally.

Thinking that Chelsea are a top team, and that their centre forward scores goals.

Ignoring the fact that none has for ages.

It is simply fixtures based and lack of alternate strikers - I remember years ago I went for Elano for Man City because of fixtures and price it worked well.
Not everything is about the 'content creators' sometimes I feel as if they live rent free in many peoples heads.

I guess people are hoping that the fixtures breed form. I don’t get the likes of selling Watkins or Pedro for a hit though. For free maybe

Which two do you bench in A?

I like A

Pickford to Sanchez or Areola then?

Any £ itb?

Yeah

Get Mbeumo

Like I said above it would be good to see him actually take a chance before jumping on, otherwise he’s just another Maupay

Main man for Chelsea at home vs Luton. What is not to like?

I don't rate him at all

Fixtures over form.

Yup and it's cost me pts in GW 1 and 2

Also have that feeling. Doesn’t feel right to bench Shaw at home against NFO. Imagine if I get Chillwell now as well…

Already had wissa 9 this season.

Mitrovic week 1 last season too.

At least I’m consistent

Benching headaches are a good thing in my opinion. Helps with injuries and unexpected benchings from managers.

Yer benched Pedro gw1 for eze then played Eze gameweek 2

I have Diaz but I'd want Foden this week.

Short term I’d prefer Foden

Foden

Foden

Foden this week. Both eventually.

C

Chance Foden

A or Maddison to Foden?

You've taken the drop so might as well wait. You have good bench options too.

Or Eze to Mbeumo

... But then we know what happens next (!)

C

Maybe just A, and Henry first on the bench in case Gabriel doesn’t play

A

A

Thing is, where do you use the funds? With United underperforming, Salah not looking at his best and Kane gone, you aren't missing out on anyone.

Pedo

Pedro

Easy win

Same but I’ve spent some of it to save me a FT down the road while I’m on unlimited transfers.

I want Diaz for their run, I don’t want him now but I’ve brought him in and he’s already risen in price.

If you’ve got the money & you know you want a player later on (like Trippier) there’s no harm in getting them now IMO to save a FT unless you think he’s going to drop in price.

It’s a good point.

But I don’t think it’s the FPL managers fault this year. Think they’ve got the pricing really wrong and managers think they just have to spend the full 100m week 1 with maybe 0.5 in the bank.

Mitoma, march, arsenal mids. Mbeumo on pens. Terrible pricing.

But mindset is you still need to spend all your cash!

One of the best value players for sure!

Started with him.

Fulham goal was a gift but he’s crazy value at 6

don't judge it on that fulham game, we were bad and brentford still struggled to create for most the match

He's not really a 6m asset though with Toney out..

As starting striker, he should be 7m to 8m

You’ve used the word assuming when talking about pep.

You have some learning to do

I’d guess he starts the home game v Fulham

too hard to predict, pep will make his mind up based on what he sees from the opposition etc

Keep Martinelli, find another route to Foden this week

A

Give him the Fulham game

one more chance

A

Cheers. I think he's the only one I'd sell on my midfield so I'll have to wait for foden..
Salah Saka Bruno Martinelli Diaby

Fulham with no ream and Paulina not fully fit

Ditch Diaz and leave a bit in the bank to be more flexible. You’re chasing points with the Diaz pick. Look at Liverpool’s fixtures.

Downgrade Diaz will have big benching headache most weeks with that

Pretty much same as mine except I have Rashford this week, swapping to Diaz in gw 4

Perfect template, 9 thumbs up

Can you do Jackson to Isak or Watkins?

diaz to eze can keep some spare change for flexibility

C. Pedro will most likely play with Enciso being injured.

C

C

Estu & Jota

Estu Pedro

very likely bournemouth score imo, they're attacking under the new manager

Might be better to look longer term than one GW

I'd roll or do B and hold Awoniyi for 1st sub for no shows

Despite the difficult fixture the man is on fire.

Just lose Rashford.

gabriel to defender of choice and keep rolling to have 2 FTs over International Break

Son

Rashford out

Gusto, less competition.

Keep Pedro, i think he’ll start due to the Enciso injury.

Bbbbbbbbbbb.

Uber for this guy please.

But in a single week and home to Luton of course it can pay off with 2 assists and 2 goals!!

Not for me

B is an understatement. Do not do this.

B. Hand over your car keys

B

Probably Diaz

Both could easily blank. Tough game for Liverpool.

Newcastle away will likely play into Liverpool's hands as we'll allow Newcastle to have the ball and counter attack them.
I can see both Salah and Diaz scoring well.
Not sure Jota starts. Think Gakpo will start through the middle

Jota to score 3.9
Diaz 4.1

When I am in doubt I check bookies odds. However, assist potential shouldn't be forgotten.

yup

Gabriel or Pickford the obvious candidates.
