Gameweek 2 Match day Thread.

Think Richarlison should have done better there from a Digne cross.

Hopefully he doesn't make a tit of himself.

Pool have yet to play though!

But you can say that about every player?

Like lets say by end of this GW,

Mahrez and Jesus get double digit score
Rashford gets a hattrick with no Bruno involvement
Salah blanks
PEA gets a hatrick
Son get a brace
TAA scores

What do you do then with the planned transfers? How many people have Rashford/Mahrez/Jesus currently on their radar to bring in. What will folk do with PEA then etc

This is going to a season where you just can't have all the players - unless you take hits every week to guess which player is going to be hitting big in a particular game.

c.p.w.g.w

Happy with Pereira, is seems to be the only WBA player to consider...but Ricky, Hamaz & DCL are certainly options

Mr.Nice Guy

That was a painful watch.

Might be in for another one. I've only Dallas playing next.

Mike Ehrmantraut

Is it over?

dr.kenneth noisewater

Mitrovic back starting, need a few from him today

Trey13

Just on the DCL discussion - Well done to anyone who had him. I was certainly thinking about him before the season started but didn’t pull the trigger. I don’t like that people begrudge him or his owners of the score.

My front 3 is Kane Werner Wilson and I’ve already got Salah and PEA so I don’t feel like I need him in my team but he’s certainly on the watchlist.

That was a horror show, surely the rest of the weekend can’t be as bad

Mr.Prodston

I don't think it was kneejerky per se to have wanted DCL. I wanted him too, he's the striker in a decent team, with a decent run of games with James Rodriguez seeking to give him the ball in goal scoring positions... that's literally his job!

DCL proved he could score last season up until lockdown, afterwards was a dramatic downturn. I said last night that I wanted him but felt like another weekend of fixtures and a larger sample size was the smarter move. At least Mitro starts....

Hindsight is a fecker though!

(Also playing against 10 men in the second half against a team which look doomed - Johnstone is a major worry for me too)

Shanotheslayer

All eyes on Mitrovic next

A genuine well done to Everton owners.

It's that sort of instinct that gets you up the rankings early. Their new midfield has hit the ground running, and officially made their assets incredible value.

Bringing DCL in over Ricky makes a lot of sense to me. 1m cheaper and obviously the finisher - whether he's heavily involved or not.

2 great games next too.

thunderdog

Just Johnstone in that game. Just happy he got 0 points out of it and not into the negative territory

I’m sitting here listening to Tim Sherwood.

I can feel my IQ dropping.

**** me he’s insufferable.

Yup.

This game will reveal a lot about them and Leeds.

Leeds got a lot of plaudits last week, and rightly so. But Fulham will sit back in a way Liverppol were obviously never going to.

I think this will be a Leeds hammering, or a drab 1-0 to Fulham.

I don't think too many are begruding those that have him, i think others (including me) are saying that after the first game and even today's game, Ricky looks the most dangerous of the two, albeit he's 0.9m dearer.

Tim Ream for me.

It’ll make me feel like I could still make it as a pro.

What's the quality like in Thailand is their time yet? :pac:

Cartman78

I went for DCL towards the end of last season and he was absolute muck so that's what put me off him.

I'll actually struggle to get Everton cover in without a fairly big overhaul and a few hits

Hernandez injured in the warm up.

Rodrigo now starts.

Only reason I didn’t buy Rodrigo is because I knew Bamford was starting.

Rodrigo is going to score now isn’t he ?

castletownman

After my inertia last week, great start so far with JamRod and DCL getting 29 between them. Auba captain to come, and hopefully Bruno picks up where he left off from last season.

Denis Odoi starts in place of Tim Ream.

That’s sucks the potential of comedy right out of the situation.

I get ya.
What I meant was Taa could concede 2 or more and there was a better chance of clean sheet potential for Digne this week considering opposition.

What a goal from Costa.

Any asset?

Scorpion Sting

Great start for me with 12 points from JamRod.

DCL / Ricky owners must be jumping for joy right now.

ShaneU

DCL vice here, wouldn't mind an Auba warm up injury :pac:
