Some Random thoughts about GW1

Liverpool played very good football vs Norwich, they kept CS & scored 3 goals. But thing is making me worried as a Jota owner that after 60 minutes when Bobby Firmino & Fabinho came into the game, the game changed completely & to me it seems like I am watching some other Liverpool team from the team played in 1st half. A good thing about Jota is Firmino has very good chance to out because of his international duty in next days. So, keep it in consideration if you are a Jota owner.

Pogba was at his best vs Leeds United but I think the run that Mason Greenwood made during all the goals Man UTD scored, his run created some space & Bruno Fernandes was there to make the best use of that space. We have noticed that a lot of people are picking Pogba for his last game performance. But we have to keep it in our mind that Pogba played on LW & when Man UTD will get another attacker in their side then there is a big chance that Pogba will come back to his deeper role in his natural position. So, I don’t think it’s a good option to invest on him & if anyone wants to target any MID from Man UTD apart from Fernandes I think it needs to be Greenwood.

Benrahama got 2 big chance involvements & he was a player who was larking around the good position to score goal. So, I think his attacking return will not stop coming. The big Antonio missed a penalty but still managed to provide good points with the 4 big chance involvements. Most of the mangers own Coufal or Cresswell in their team and it seems like West Ham were there to attack but not to defend. But maybe they are struggling with their CBs it can be a fact as well. If they can sign a good CB thing can change easily.

Sonny played his role for Spurs like as usual scored the winner, if anyone don’t own him, I think it’s better to get him in as soon as possible. Lucas Moura had a good game with 3 chances with a big chance & had 5 touches in the penalty box, the most of any Spurs player. He can be a good differential because I think he is a player most of us forgotten. Joao Cancelo can a plyer to keep eye on who created 3 chances with a big chance & got a chance to score but he missed it unluckily. But whenever it comes about Man City Defenders PEP ROULETTE is always there.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had the highest shots inside the box (4) among all players. DCL was getting a lot of crosses that’s a very good sign. In last season Everton made most of the side from left side but in this season after the inclusion of Townsend, they are creating more from the right side. In last game 6 chances were created from right & 3 from right. It increases the FPL potential of Townsend as well. But it’s better not to forget about Digne who took 5 corners out of 6 vs the Saints. Southampton played really bad in their backline as they are the team with the 2nd highest xG Conceded.

Arsenal have created 10 chances from their left side & only two from the right and the most noticeable thing is Tierney created 6 from those 10 chances in the left side. But the thing is it’s not wise to judge after watching just one game vs a newly promoted side as I think the team strategy won’t be the same with side. If Arsenal can keep some CS then and some more CS potential in coming GWs & Tierney can continue this kind of works, he can be a serious contender to consider. All I want to tell is just keep the eye on to the player.

Most of us are quite worried about the performance of Toney vs Arsenal as he couldn’t provide any attacking return. Toney was playing deeper & Mbeumo was the man to make run behind Toney to score. I think Toney can provide good number of returns vs the weaker sides. In next few games Brentford have decent fixture & there is a good chance that we will get Toney in the central area. So, it’s better to hold him.

Under the new management of Bruno Lage the it seems like Wolves were maintaining high lines. Their wingbacks of are the main man to take the charge of attack & the wingers were playing in central role that’s why Adama Traore got some chances & had good number of shots but we have to remember that he is not a good finisher.

Ismaila Sarr was a treat to watch vs Aston Villa & Targett got no chances to stop him as a result Villa had no control on the game. But after the introduction of Ashley Young in place of Targett things changed a bit & they got better result. Emmanuel Dennis can be very good punt if he starts regularly & have some easy fixture. But I want to add that Watford will be a side to score fewer number of goals. Emi Buendia created only one chance & no shot on target. But I think the performance of Villa will change if Watkins comes back in GW2 as he is the man to press opponent defenders. So, I will say if anyone own Buendia then hold two more weeks.

I think Crystal Palace can be an opponent to target as vs Chelsea it looked like they didn’t have any hurry to move the ball from the danger zone, even they didn’t like to create any counter attacks. So, in GW2 Toney vs Palace can be a very good shout. On the other hand, Chelsea backline looked very solid like as usual & they haven’t conceded any big chances. But the fact is may be Palace failed to create one.

Happy Fantasy.
