to anyone reading this, you had a plan when you picked your gw1 team, stick with it. only around gw5 will it truly start to show whether your draft was a success or not
I haven’t been able to watch MoTD since my daughter was born (a couple of years) and find FPL a lot harder without it (love an eye test), but this summary is super helpful in the meantime!
So happy I had Saka Saliba Jota Havertz and captained Salah. Altogether got 78 points comfortably top of my mini league GW1. Knew Salah would do well at the start of the season. Just waiting for Solanke and Porro now against Leicester now hopefully 90+ points.
@BowensOnFire Porro and Spurs gonna keep a clean sheet in the next 2 at least. Vardy and Daka are out for Leicester through injuries so they have no attack pretty much to break Spurs defense down and Everton have no quality attackers either however it's just Newcastle that worries me about a clean sheet there. However I'm expecting Porro to haul big time attacking wise against those 2 teams.
i’m currently on 73 points with son and pedro porro to play tomorrow had Trent, Salah and becker in and took all the bonus points against ipswich, captained salah this week 👌
I benched Gvardiol for Mykolenko and had Quansah + Jota as my Liverpool assets. Captained Isak aswell as Eze and Nkunku letting me down. Need double spurs to clutch up as I’m on 1pt less than the average rn 😔
Started with Barco. Maatsen came on from my bench & had a good 15 minutes, but unfortunately no attacking return. I will definitely shift Barco on now. I am waiting until the end of the week if no price drop is expected. Bruno unlucky. On 69 points so far with Porro & Solanke still to play. I can´t complain much.
I had three players who were taken off early for 1 point so not the best of starts, Murphy., Quansah and Nkunku but still managed 64 points with Son and Solanke playing tonight so want a good result to help!
FPL is a marathon run. I'm giving Nkunku & Quansah another chance on GW2. If both of them still disappointed on GW2 then I'll consider to remove them on GW3
I went different sticking with barco and tried to chase the upside by shifting eze to Luis Dias instead of Jota Gonna have to hold with it for now but Dias had a lot of chances so could come good Scared of now not having eze though
Not a bad start for me with captain Salah and not owning Haland, Watkins. Saka hurt me though, I went Odegaard instead, hopefully this turns out to be good eventually. Still have Spurs triple up to play tonight, hopefully this will end up a solid start, compared with last season at least.
I have to trigger a transfer this upcoming gameweek 2. Robinson on for Ola Aina, who left early due to a knock. My initial rotation would force me to start either instead of Andersen regardless. Gameweek 4 is still the aim for a wildcard, even tho I'll finish the gameweek with 64 points, with no Spurs players on board.
my front 8 are saka, ESR, eze, jota, isak, wood, haaland and nkunku, who on earth do i bench? the worst fixture from them all is probably saka away at villa but i cant fathom benching him especially after GW1
for context: saka - AVL (a), with the other 7s fixtures i might have to bench smith rowe - LEI (H), cant ignore freshly promoted teams at home eze - WHU (H), looked unreal GW1 jota - BRE (H), good fixture, good form isak - BOU (a), sounds crazy but possibly benching wood - SOU (a), good form, good mins, good fixture haaland - IPS (H), no brainer nkunku - WOL (a), probable benching despite good fixture but wolves are great at low scoring home games and nkunku >60mins played is concerning Any advice is much appreciated!
Dream start 89 pts with solanke to play and 0.5m in the bank no chips used. Big at the back paid off for me this week with Trent+ saliba+ Gabriel+pope!
Have 40 points with Johnson and Solanke still to play. Annoyed with Tarkowski and he was one of the players I was looking to move on, I might still do that and bring in Mazraoui. But I may also just roll, I might still do that not sure. I have 10 points on my bench which isn’t bad by any means. Hopefully my team performs better in the next gameweek.
@@CityTup Yup it’s either Munoz, Dalot or Robinson. I might go for Munoz for the attacking threat since as a man United fan I know we won’t be getting many clean sheets this season with Dalot.
Currently on 69 points with Porro and Solanke to play. Gonna stick with my team but may drop a midfielder from Eze, Nkunku, Gordon, Salah and Jota to the bench and play Muniz instead. Salah and Jota are pretty much safe but of the other 3, should I drop one of those for Muniz or stick with them as they all have pretty favourable fixtures. A little worried about Nkunku's minutes, though. Have Isak and Solanke as my other FWDs by the way.
I am all out on 61. Have you got any updates on Aina, seems like I have to spend a transfer on him. That Schar red card cost me my Isak captain and Murphy also:(
Started really well, currently on 72 with Son still to play, I did have Quansah and Murphy though, I’m gonna hold Quansah for now and bench him but unsure whether to sell Murphy or hold him, I thought Brereton Diaz looked really good and sharp despite not scoring so could bring him in, thoughts?
71 points so far with Solanke to play, plan is to roll transfer but I have a dilemma, need to pick one of Gabriel, Robinson, Munoz and TAA. Any help would be appreciated
Mazaroui is likely to rise in price. What do you think of Quansah to Mazaroui to avoid dropping team value and likely increasing team value in one GW ? Could be useful later on.
Nkunku 1 pointer shouldn’t mean anything lol. He should’ve been on everyone’s bench like mine. I did still have Bailey and Watkins blanking and I captained Isak over Salah but it’s only GW1
Is Haaland triple captain in gw 2 a good shout? He looked fresh, in form and double gameweeks this season will be less frequent and worse than previously
So is Livramento nailed now 🤔 got Barco and Quansah to deal with. I have 0.5 in the bank as my get barco out back up plan didn’t think I’d need it straight away. Still hoping Quansah can get his spot back probably wishful thinking. Probably gonna do Barco to Robinson unless Quansah is looking like he will drop
81 points, Henderson, Nkunku and Rogers Blank but I want to give Nkunku minimum two more games. Henderson is meh but there is no really big choice from 4,5 goalkeepers so he is ok. Rogers played full game so it's still quite ok for a 5m player :)
Rolling and will have 3 different starters (at exactly the same total cost) to Oscar's team. It'll be Dunk, Nkunku, Eze vs Robinson, Jota, Wood. Who scores more? 😅😅😅
i have a midfield of EZE V WHU, SMITH ROW V LEICESTER, JOTA V BRENTFORD, NKUNKU V WOLF, SAKA V VILLA. ONE MUST GO ON THE BENCH. Question is: who should go on the bench? please help
I really need someone’s hp with this one I have 56 points with Porro left to play so it’s been a hard 1st game week but I just really need to know if it’s worth replacing quansah this early
Sounds crazy - but is using my free hit worth it? Currently have a Salah only squad so free hitting to bring Haaland in and save a transfer is really appealing imo.
@@FPLFocal quansah and barco were risks but the murphy substitution hurt a lot lol not gonna panic tho and roll a transfer barring any injuries tomorrow
Was great to meet so many of you on Friday at fest btw! Thanks for coming over and saying hi 🤝
Lesson 6: Never doubt Salah on opening weekend against a newly promoted team...
So true😢
This lesson already learned years ago
I don't think anyone doubted that...
@@ditokelio7860isak had like 72 percent captaincy, however not everyone has salah so the stat isn’t perfect

Would be cool to see the upcoming GW deadline/1st game date on the team at the end! Makes for a quick mental note to lock in, love the vids
Thx Focal - concise and insightful 🍻
Lots of unlucky things this game week but we move
Already wildcarded. I relied on quansah and needed a liverpool defender. To many transfer needed so decided to wildcard.
On 88 Points , currently on 20K finish and Solanke left to play!
Already confirmed to be doing the forfeit this week 😍
Currently on 65 points with Porro & Solanke to play, pretty happy with that start!
Bruno will come good. I’m keeping him. I’m worried about both Barco and Quansah.
I have them both and I can’t see them both playing many minutes.
It's a marathon, not a sprint😂😂
My team is good for a roll game week 2 All 2 FDR except Pickford and Saka And 7 home games aswell. Also great video focal as always ❤

Guys help please ! Quansah to Dalot or Robinson ? Fulham have decent fixtures is Robinson a guaranteed starter ?
Not a bad start for me with captain Salah and not owning Haland, Watkins. Saka hurt me though, I went Odegaard instead, hopefully this turns out to be good eventually.
Still have Spurs triple up to play tonight, hopefully this will end up a solid start, compared with last season at least.
