KEY NOTES FROM GW10

Everything you need to know from FPL perspective for GW10 if you missed watching any of the games 🙌

Bookmark for later reference ✅

Let's. Get. Started.Image Bournemouth vs Manchester City

xG (2.09 vs 1.64)

- One of the worst performances that we have personally seen from City for a long, long time. Semenyo and Evanilson helped give Bournemouth their first ever league win against City after being defeated heavily in the last couple of seasons. City's 32-game PL unbeaten run also comes to an end after the disastrous game. There are many theories on how to beat City but Bournemouth chose the one where they were not defensive, yet be audacious, hardworking and were very fun to watch.
- Bournemouth have been superb at home, winning their third home game in the row, having already beaten Arsenal. Semenyo was as always the most dangerous player on the field and he turned to fire in at the far post inside the first 10 mins. He is an absolute hold in terms of FPL with good fixtures coming. Evanlison added a second to win it for the hosts. They were solid in defense and held on for a big win and need to be discussed more going forward as they aren't a team to be targeted in defence any more. Kerkez had a brilliant game and assisted both goals. He was leaving a lot of space for City wingers though but they couldn't exploit that. They could have had more, a lot more in the first half catching City on the counter. They pressed so well and recoegnised when to jump and when to sit back and thoroughly deserved the win.
- City were toothless in attack with little to no creativity from anyone in their attack except Nunes and Doku who did well after coming on. They had 18 shots in total with only 4 on target and missed all 4 big chances. Haaland was nowhere to be spotted until the last few mins where he looked like scoring and hit the post as well. Foden also came close to scoring in the ending mins as his shot just went past the Bournemouth goal. Gvardiol, as always, was higher up on the left flank and scored another good header from Gundogan's cross. Walker was a disaster - probably his worst game ever. He was easily being outrun by the Bournemouth wingers and his passing and position was nowhere better. This is good news though for Rico Lewis owners. Doku and Savinho were on the bench which means they would be in contention for the next game. KDB was also on the bench but looked to be not ready at all as he didn't even warm up during the game. Without Rodri, City lack a holding presence in the midfield and it was clearly visible. Nunes had a good game but lacks 1 on 1 finishing. Defence just keeps on conceding and aren't fit too. In short, a terrible game from the champions.Image

Usual business for City as they start the season strong despite key injuries ranking 3rd for xG, 2nd for xGC, and creating 19 big chances. With great fixtures in the next 5 GWs, the focus shifts to the best City trio to own for this run.Image

KEY NOTES FROM GW5

Everything you need to know from FPL perspective for GW5 if you missed watching any of the games 🙌

Bookmark for later reference ✅

Let's. Get. Started.Image Manchester City vs Arsenal

- A game of two halves. It started on a surprising note which none of us expected - both teams were going end to end and were matching the intensity. Rodri's injury didn't do City any good & Arsenal started to dominate.
- Trossard's red card affected the entire game & changed the approach as Arteta decided to become prime Mourinho Chelsea (minus leaving open spaces near their box every time) It was understandable as they were leading and were a man down. But you could just sense that a City goal would come with City having more than 85% possession in second half.
- Rico Lewis didn't start which favoured Gvardiol & he was as attacking as we have seen him this season. Probably, Pep wanted to limit Martinelli but it was Walker's (and the ref's :P) mistake that led to the Arsenal goal. Whenever Walker starts with Gvardiol, it benefits Gvardiol as an FPL asset. Wouldn't be put off as a Lewis owner, still a great pick.
- Foden was benched again and he still doesn't become an option on Wildcard. We will have to wait and watch until his first start which suggests that going Haaland is the only way to enter the City attack (which makes sense as well as he is at the end of all attacks). He taunted every one who didn't captain him with yet another well taken goal.
- Gabriel is a giant on set pieces and Raya is a massive keeper. He got 9 saves yesterday as well and kept Arsenal in the game. Gabriel + Raya + Saka is the way to go for Arsenal.Image

With Wissa injured in the last game & out for ~2 months, we need to find a solution. Let's look at some of the options.

For the 31% of the managers who don't own Haaland yet, the best replacement for Wissa is ERLING HAALAND. It's that simple.Image

KEY NOTES FROM GW4

Everything you need to know from FPL perspective for GW4 if you missed watching any of the games 🙌

Bookmark for later reference ✅

Let's. Get. Started.Image Southampton vs United

- Southampton had a great start to the game and were dominating for the first 25 mins until they missed the penalty (should have been leading 2-0 by then)
- Momentum shifted and United scored just 2 mins later and completely changed the game
- United assets are still an avoid from FPL perspective (they do not have a single focal point - points getting divided)
- Do not trust United defence (pretty lucky to get a clean sheet)
- Southampton remain a boogie team (stack your attackers playing against them)Image

📑Image - WC4 vs WC6

To start with have a look at your team and think of the team you wish to have. If you can reach there using 2-3 transfers, then there is no need for a wildcard.

If you can't, then pressing the button makes sense. Hence, start with that and DECIDE 🙌🏻Image

This season is a little different in FPL - why?
Because we won't be having as many Blank GWs and Double GWs.

How will it impact us?
This will impact our chip strategy as we always used to save the chips for the DGWs.Image

#FPLImage - ⁠Bench Boost: GW34 v GW37

There is a valid debate to be had about BB34 and BB37. There are 7 teams doubling in DGW34 and 6 teams doubling in DGW37. So, the point of using BB in GW34 is valid and justifiable. Let us see the PROs and CONs for both.

#FPLImage - Plan for Early Wildcarders

As shared last GW, the plan for early Wildcarders (WC27/28) should be to get in Salah and Palmer and that should sort out their teams for GW30. Not having Haaland this week is fine and he could be back even in GW32.Image

A 9.7m player with 3 consecutive blanks has to go right? Well, we think he is still a good hold.

With 8 goals & an assist to his name, Son has a good run of fixtures coming up for him after the City game (City game is good too) in GW14, where he could look to..

#FPL #FPLCommunity Image Haaland or No Haaland

This is a trending topic and it's not that simple. Haaland will always be a great choice for the game. Even though his data has taken a SLIGHT hit from last season, he is still Top for both xG and nPxG.

Diaby is our first pick with the run of fixtures that Villa are set to embark upon. He has been doing well for Villa this season with 2 goals and 4 assists so far. Up against a Wolves side that are in Bottom 5 for xGC ( 13 goals conceded)

#FPL | #FPLCommunity | @OfficialFPL Teams to Target

Manchester City, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool are clearly the teams to target while picking players this GW based on data from @drafthound

Brighton & Brentford attack are also good shouts while data suggests avoiding Everton & Villa!

#FPL | #FPLCommunity | @OfficialFPL Do remember FPL is about correct decisions and they pay off in the long run. Having Salah as captain this Gameweek was the correct decision but the wrong outcome. His underlying stats were good as well. Always trust stats and eye test more than the outcomes.
