Massive #FPL THREAD

GW 3 summary:

Since my last thread went down so well I decided to write one about my detailed thoughts about all the games from gw 3 from an FPL perspective. Could very possibly be doing these after every gameweek so feel free to RT if you would like that.

AVL - EVE

The first game of the gameweek was between two sides who have been struggling a bit to start the season. Everton have struggled offensively and Aston Villa still had 0 points going in to this game. I was impressed by how Villa played though. Even though they didn’t...

have much possession they still looked quite dangerous with Wesley (6.0) getting his first goal of the campaign against an Everton team who has kept 2 clean sheet already. Everton looked sluggish and Andre Gomes (5.4) could have had the worst game out of every player this...

gameweek. It’s only when Alex Iwobi (5.9) and Moise Kean (6.9) came on that Everton started to create real chances with Lucas Digne (6.0) being attacking as always from his left-back position creating 4 key passes (most in the game. Let’s talk a bit more about Aston Villa then...

because there upcoming fixtures are really good. McGinn (5.6) got an assist at the end but was very quiet during the game. Mings (4.5) is the one that interest me the most. Could be a good budget differential defender if he stays fit.

NOR - CHE

It was the strikers that stole the show in this game. Teemu Pukki (6.9) with a goal and an assist now around 30% owned and Abraham with 2 goals. I do want to see more from Abraham before I judge if he will be a good FPL asset this year or not. There are a few other...

Chelsea players that have started to impress me though already. Mount (6.1) and Emerson (5.5) looked great with Mount taking 5 shots and 2 key passes and Emerson creating 1 big chance and 4 key passes from hist left-back spot. They could honestly be really great assets but I...

want Chelsea to sort out their defense first before transfering in Emerson. Norwich however also looked great attacking wise with Pukki (6.9) as a mentioned before just completely setting the league on fire and Cantwell (4.6) scoring his first goal in the PL. Very impressive...

stuff for such a budget midfielder who I know a lot of people who wildcarded had on their bench unfortunately. Let’s not talk about the rest of any of the team’s defence shall we?

WAT - WHU

Didn’t see any parts of this game except the highlights. Haller (7.4) showed us why West Ham paid the amount that they did for him and Lanzin (6.5)i had incredible playmaking stats once again with 6 key passes and also getting a penalty. Felipe Anderson’s (6.9)...

stats were also good creating 2 big chances. West Ham’s fixtures are looking good now aswell so if you want to get yourself a differential, east London might be the place. Watford however is at the bottom of the league and with confirmation that Deeney (6.4) will be out for a...

long time it’s not looking good for the hornets or their FPL assets.

SHU - LEI

After having 2 quite tough fixtures it was now time for Leicester to face up against a newly promoted side who has been tipped by many to finish bottom. It did finish as a win for the foxes but quite a close one in the end as Barnes (5.9) came on and scored a...

screamer with the assist by an interesting budget defender who has been getting more and more attention in Soyuncu (4.5). Vardy (8.9) also had his first shot on target after a beautiful ball was played by Maddison (7.0). A partnership that a lot of people liked from last season..

Perez (6.4) however didn’t take a single shot in the game and will probably be gone from a lot of teams including mine. Just hasn’t adjusted well so far to his new team and teammates it feels like. Let’s talk a bit about Sheffield and I think there is only one player that a lot..

of people have and after his 14-point haul last weekend Lundstram (4.1) quite a lot of people started him and got a 0 point score which is underwhelming to say the least.

BRI - SOU

I went in to this game thinking that Brighton would win quite convincingly for some reason. That was not the case and that Andone (5.0) red card could be the reason. However Southampton looked good and especially Nathan Redmond (6.4) having 2 shots on goal and...

creating a big chance away from home. In that Brighton team it looks to be Trossard (6.0) who will be the standout player. I have talked about him a lot already but those 7 key passes and him hitting the post is something I won’t ignore. He just looks like a great budget...

midfielder with great underlying stats.

LIV - ARS

Now we are at the big game. A game which was very interesting considering many had sold their Liverpool defence assets however Arsenal allowed TAA (7.0) and Robertson (7.0) a lot of space down the flanks as they pointed out themselves. It looked like they would...

punish the FPL managers who sold hem before their clean sheet was wiped out. TAA got an assist though and together the full-backs played 9 key passes and created 2 big chances. A move that I also talked about a lot of players doing last week was transferring out Salah (12.5)...

for Mane (11.5). I didn’t think it was a good move at the time and this gameweek at least I was right with Salah scoring a brace and Mane blanking. Talking a bit about Arsenal, Ceballos (5.6) was one of the most hyped players last week. Wasn’t great in this game but someone...

who I thought looked great was Pepe (9.4). An expensive price tag but when Arsenal play easier teams then he could be a great option further down the line. I was also wondering if David Luiz (6.0) could be the one of the most overpriced players in FPL this year?

BOU - MCI

I thought this game was going to be a disastrous defeat for Bournemouth but they fought back really well against last seasons champions. With the best free kick you will probably see all year Harry Wilson (6.0) has now scored twice in his last 2 games. Feels a bit...

like David Brooks from last season in his role as the 4th attacking option. City was expected to dominate this game and Sterling (12.2) scored once again making those who captained him myself included very happy even though Aguero (12.0) went on and scored 2. He now has the...

5th highest points total in the game and not many people are talking about him but it feels hard to fit him in. One stat that also surprised me from this game was the fact that Zinchenko (5.5) played 6 key passes. 4 more than for example KDB (9.6).

TOT - NEW

What a shock this game was then. Don’t think anyone was expecting that Newcastle would keep a clean sheet away from home against Spurs after just losing to Norwich the week before. Harry Kane (11.0) was captained by many but blanked even though he probably should...

have had a penalty at the end of the game and also missed a big chance. Son (9.5) was also back in play and looked okey. Will be interesting to see him going forward. I said last week that not any of the Newcastle players interested me and Joelinton could might be a good shout...

for (5.9) but I am still not convinced.

WOL - BUR

Let’s move on to the last game of the gameweek where a penalty was in fact called at the end of the game when Jimenez (7.4) was brought down. He converted it himself and a draw was the final result after Ashley Barnes (6.6) fired away early to give the clarets the...

lead. He is really in form at the moment and is looking like a great option especially since Burnley’s fixture are very good after the Liverpool game. Jota (6.4) was quiet once again and Boly (5.0) despite letting in a goal and not doing anything offensively got 2 bonus points.

MUN - CRY

For some reason I forgot to talk about this game. I thought this was going to be a walk in the park for United but the strong Crystal Palace defence with Kelly (4.1) and PVA (5.5) doing bits. Offensively for Palace there wasn't much other than the 2 goals that they...

managed to score. Ayew (5.0) however netted his first goal in what felt like forever. Let's talk about United and why they didn't deliver as we thought they were going to do. They could have easily had another penalty and Cahill (4.5) could have easily been sent off. They did...

get a penalty however and Rashford (8.7) stepped and hit the inside of the post which probably means that Martial (7.7) will be the next one to step up to the penalty spot. Right now I like him the most as an asset and he also got an assist to James (6.0) who could well be a...

bargain this season if he keeps this sort of confidence up in front of goal. De Gea (5.6) however did not show signs of confidence at the PVA goal which seems to be a reoccurring theme the last games he has played.

Now I can finally say that the gameweek 3 summary is finished. Hopefully you enjoyed it, feel free to RT and good luck to everyone next gameweek😃
