It looks like I picked The Gabe & Andersen combination! Thankfully most of my locked picks for GW1 are good for predicted points. So excited to check my predicted score and rating when itโs complete!

With a goal in either half at home, Bournemouth defeated Man City to secure their first Premier League win and to defeat the champions and runners-up. The BOU players played perfectly staying deep in a low, well-organized block before rushing forward and overloading the flanks to give Gvardiol and Walker a lot of headaches. Man City had trouble handling counter attacks once more. It's rather obvious, and most opponents benefited from it.
Following their goal, Bournemouth sat back and absorbed the pressure for the rest of the first half. In the second half, the sequence would repeat itself, with City dominating the game but finding it difficult to score. This would allow the home team enough time to extend their lead, this time through Evanilson, who was again provided by Kerkez. Brooks hit the post, before Gvardiolโs header.
Semenyo was incredible, lively, City defenders couldnโt deal with him, falling to the ground. This season he is more direct which is great addition to his dribbling. He had 4 shots in the box and 2 big chances. He created big chance to Evanilson that was saved. ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ง๐ข๐ฃ ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ง ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐ฆ.
Evanilson shouldโve scored a brace and his positions were decent. He is one of the good forwards that we should consider but Semenyo, cheaper and has more routes into points blocking getting him.
Kerkez improved recently and looked advanced in counters, providing 2 assists from 2 big chances created.
Lewis benched for Walker who had an awful performance again. I think it is a positive sign for Rico Lewis in upcoming game weeks and see him the 1st option for Pep.
Gvardiol started to be one of Pepโs weapon that he uses in set pieces. He reminds me of Gabriel last season and had 2 headers.
Haaland had good positions in the box but needed to concentrate with decisions and accuracy. He missed 2 huge opportunities for scoring (created by Foden), one of them was twice in quick succession from close range deep in extra time.
Last GWs when Haaland blanked he was restricted and rarely got big chances. This time he registered 2 big chances and was unlucky, but I think itโs still less than Cityโs usual high-quality chances. City struggled recently against any deep block, but De Bruyne is finally back and is positive for Haaland owners. If youโve fed up with Haaland, I recommend getting Salah who plays in more trusted system and has amazing games vs. Villa and Southampton in next 2 GWs.
After leading for 70 minutes, a well-organized Brighton team lost to Liverpool in the second half. Verbruggen had a good game and was able to keep BHA ahead for a long time before Gakpo's fortunate goal. Thankfully, Darwin didn't touch it to miss it as usual and, drew the Reds even after Kadioglu's early goal. The Egyptian King's incredible strike was what finally secured the Premier League summit.
Tsimikas seems to be ahead of Robbo in order. His threat was from set pieces, that Slot relied much on it and he created 3 amazing chances for scoring.
Konate nearly scored (Header) and subbed early injured but his hand isnโt broken and should be fit for next game.
Gakpo wide, creative. Darwin central and sometimes overlapping with Gakpo. He had only 1 chance saved.
Salah caused headache to Estpinan and I think Estupinan is going to be a weakness point in Brighton backline when he starts. Foden and Semenyo will face him in next 2 GWs. Salah has one of his usual brilliant shots and missed an easy big chance created by Darwin. Salah was advanced and sharp. One of the most consistent assets in the game and you should bring him as he is going to be the best captain for next 2 game weeks.
Alexander-Arnold has improved defensively under Slot and his decisions were great. Mitoma made him less advanced, but his long balls were wonderful and He created 2 chances.
In addition to his assist, Welbeck was taking some direct free kicks which is good advantage for him. Great value and consistency and should be priority transfer after City game.
Rutter missed 1v1 chance, thanks to Kelleher who saved his counter attack. He proved his talent in last few game weeks and letโs monitor his minutes ahead of their decent fixture run as Pedro is back

One of the worst GWs regardless of being wildcarded.
Unless you own Palmer, youโre simply fu*ked
Iโm going to be aggressive on some players in this thread but please avoid early transfers this week due to the midweek European matches and any updates and injuries that could happen.
โซ๏ธ Newcastle (1.69) 1-1 (0.82) Man City ๐ต
๐ต No KDB or Rodri has huge impact on Man City and Haaland. The benching of Savio and Doku played another role, tbh.
๐ต Haaland limited chances. I donโt think NEW was solid defensively.
Heโs got some chances but of low quality. 5 SiB
๐ต Gundogan bad decisions shouldโve been drunk.
๐ต Gvardiol advanced freely while Walker restricted as CB. Brilliant finish!
๐ต Lewis advanced but no outcome. 0 shot 0 CC 0 involvement
๐ต Akanji inverted and sometimes CB
โ๏ธ FPL tips:
Haaland only 1 goal against Arsenal and Newcastle supports that he shouldnโt be perma captain and you can go against him in some tough fixtures

๐ FPL tips:
Apart from Palmer, Avoid CHE midfielders (rotation risk)

๐ด Bournemouth left many spaces for LIV. LIV attackers couldnโt utilize it
๐ด Diaz most threatening in 1st half. Selfish direct. 3 BC

๐ FPL tips:
Jota/Diaz will get low xMin. Sell Jota but Diazโs form is inevitable. He can get enough returns in 60/70 min
