Lineup Lamentations - GW2

Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week!

—

WALSH

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Havertz and Jota

IN (for -4 points): Bruno and Anguissa

Welp. Went from saving to hitting...such is life. As the age old adage goes, there's not better time to hit than the present.

Jota.. obviously a huge issue, on his way to livp, whatevs. That gamble didn't pay off not by a long shot. I looked around in the 6.5 and under bracket and while Podence is a guy....and I considered Foden again there...it just didn't feel right. I'm half thinking Trossard won't last for long on my team and that seems like a better spot to get Podence in if I want him so I opened my mind and looked at Kai more closely.

Realistically there are a lot of question marks around him, too many to go into here, as well as with Ziyech and Puli out the team is not at their best. I am taking an aggressive line here and getting rid rather than being patient through their easier fixtures gw3-5 so I won't really know if this was a good move until then.

Bruno is someone I've been having a hard time quitting. I seriously looked at hiding him in my GW1 team and I just want him. This move comes down to just wanting to get him more than anything else. It leaves my 11th man a fucking mess, but hey I got 10 out last week and it was fine. I've got Aubz outgoing after the whu game so I'll likely address this with a hit next week, or with my next two free transfers. I'm jamming in another premium asset so hoping that they prop up the dog shit guys at the other end of the team for the time being. Also with the Jota news into Livp it doessss kinda feel that Brewster might go soon? If that happens then suddenly this hit is just fucking brilliant and I start Brewster for the foreseeable. It's not nothing, altho it could be nothing, but just chattin. Just chattin fpl.

GK:

Ryan (new)

Newcastle looked good against West Ham last weekend so the clean feels a bit more tenuous than I had probably thought before GW1 started off. That said, Brighton are a good solid outfit and I am pretty happy with Ryan. Would never be surprised at a clean in this fixture, so hopefully it comes in.

DEF:

Dier (sou)

Everyone suddenly shitting all over Spurs but whatevs. Mou will probably go set up to park against Ralph and honestly I feel like Spurs are a good bet for a clean home or away against any non top 4 side in the division. It's just how they set up and after Southampton were a little off it against us last weekend maybe they continue to struggle and their press is fucked up with another possible miss in Redderz. Dier feels fine and happy I have him.

Shaw (CRY)

Pretty nervous about owning this thicc boi since it seems like they are actively shopping for a LB but as of this moment he's their starter. He played in that friendly thing against Villa the other day so hopefully he's ready to start. Hopefully we keep Wilf on the other side of the pitch so he doesn't get a card, but whatevs. If Manu don't sign a left back in the window he still feels like a good option. And if they do, and don't sign a CB, then I guess I can always laterally swap to Lindy even tho I hate him. Bottom line I still like the 5m price on Manu cleans as I expect them to get many this season.

Trent (che)

As we all saw, was being overloaded and a bit off the pace last game against Bielsaball. Not much to say about Trent here. Tough fixture, but it's Trent. Clean would be surprising but he's always got the shout for attacking returns. Steady hold.

MID:

Aubameyang (WHU)

Nice goal in the opening game against Fulham and another nice fixture against a team that is in disarray. These two games is why he's in my team and he didn't disappoint GW1 so hopefully that carries on into this one.

Salah (che)

The form man...just needs to remember to shoot on sight with the opponents not having a functional goalkeeper between the sticks and he should do just fine. Kinda feeling like Livp are going to disassemble Franklins team this weekend so feeling more hopeful for Mo points than I did a couple weeks ago when I saw this fixture on the slate.

Trossard (new)

Important game for this boy in my team and for what my thoughts are with him moving forward. I didn't select him thinking he'd be a medium term hold...more of a punty OOP cheap guy who I could throw out for a couple and then reassess who emerges but he might play his way into my side for a while yet. Newcastle far from convincing defensively with that 442 so if Bruce plays something similar I imagine that it could be open with some chances for Brighton in this one. I'm hopeful here and good for the boy to have bagged one in the opening game. Go on tr0ss.

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (lee)

A man deserving of his full name to be noted here. Honestly got hot for Zambo after watching his cameo at the end of the Arse game after knowing about him from his time in Liga last year coming back from loan. He started and played 60odd midweek so I'm a little little bit nervous if he's ready for 90 but I'm hoping so since I just bought him in. He's classy and I like him. Probably no more than a 2 pointer kind of guy but he might have a little bit of license to get to the edge of the box and be an extra guy if he's playing with Reed and/or Lemina or some shit.

If he's still seeing the pitch in my fpl team in a couple of weeks...well I'll have been fucking up...so hopefully this is the first and last start he makes for my team :) Should be a nice first shield on the bench, though, which will probably be useful given that my bench is a laugh riot.

Bruno Fernandes (CRY)

He's in and I can now watch Manu games without persisting feelings of dread. Good fpl pick, good player. Long may the pens floweth.

FWD:

Werner (LIV)

No matter how fucked up Franklin makes the team and sets it up to fail one thing is certain from watching the Brighton game to me...this kid will get points. He's going to be a danger man all season and it would take a lot for me to remove him from my team it seems. Happy to hold him while they wait for the unfit lads to get fit etc. Good guy Timo. Love him.

Calvert-Lewin (WBA)

One of my better picks pre-gw1 happy to have him in for their nice little mini run of fixtures here. West Brom will be a lot better with Ivan but luckily he won't play this weekend. I'd be surprised if Everton don't score 3 or more so when that happens usually DCL will have something to show from it. Looks like a nice pick and a nice hold who I don't have to worry about or spend time thinking about.

BENCH:

Hide your eyes..

Brewster (che), Mitchell (mun), Ferguson(mun)

CAP:

Aubameyang (WHU)

Not really in question here. Give me the good guy against the bad team - not really much to think about here. Go on Aubz.

—

ALON

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Alli

IN: James Rodríguez

Did this move before we even Friday My Life’d to beat the Alli price drop. Duno. I knew I wanted Hamez and also knew that seeing Alli/Pulisic in my team made me want to blow my brains out for being so fucking bad and dumb.

Guess I’ll be spending FTs righting my mistakes for the first few weeks of the season and then I’ll be behind and wildcarding.... and yeeeaaaaaahhhhh rinse and repeat nightmare season incoming yet again. I suck at FPL.

GK:

McCarthy (TOT)

Meh sure whatever. It’s cleanable but unlikely. Hopefully at least gets a save point here.

DEF:

Alexander-Arnold & Robertson (che)

Good guys gettin’ forward. Maybe Thiago will allow them to get even more forward and less ball progression responsibilities..? Can see a world where Fabinho drops between the CBs and it’s almost a 3142 kinda thing. Duno. They’re great and I don’t really care about fixtures.

Justin (BUR)

Great fixture. Come on Justin do it again lad.

Shaw (CRY)

ManU’re doing everything in their power to get a new LB and fuck Shaw off (about damn time) but hopefully they fuck up all their transfer business as usual and Shaw remains the chosen one. TBD.

For now he’s a good pick and this is a great cleansheet fixture as long as Wilf isn’t running in open space against The Fridge.

MID:

Mane (che)

Mane good.

Rodriguez (WBA)

Hamez pleases me a lot. Happy to be early to the party here and hold him for a long time. AKA until I wildcard.

Pulisic (LIV)

Frank has blatantly lied in pressers before and he will lie again. I mean don’t get me wrong Pulisic is an absolute piece of shit. No question. But just hoping Frank is trying to “mind-game” Klopp (lolol) here and the Yank-cunt™ surprise starts.

FWD:

Martial (CRY)

Tony is love Tony is life.

Calvert-Lewin (WBA)

DCL made us so proud. He should be lookin to bang vs. WBA get in there Dom.

Werner (LIV)

Timo is really good. Nothing surprising at all there man. He’s just really good and I agree with Walsh he’s just gonna get points no doubt.

There’s space behind Liverpool who look to be starting slowly again at the back like last season and that’s the space that Timo will look to exploit.

BENCH:

Walker-Peters (TOT)

Probably coming in for Puli.. It’s not great but it is cleanable and he could also get an assist it’s fine. More likely is they lose 2-0 and he yellow cards Son. Can’t wait!

Reed (lee)

Smallbone (TOT)

CAP:

Martial (CRY)

Sticking with the preseason plan of capping Tony here. Go on Tone please do the things and let’s have none of the things come from Bruno assists, strictly Shaw assists :) :) :). Go on.

ePL tournament preview: Phil Foden, Billy Gilmour, Tony Bellew and Jofra Archer | Football News

Watch throughout the week on Premier League website, app, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels; Sky Sports YouTube and Twitch channels as well on the Football Daily YouTube channel

Last Updated: 04/05/20 2:25pm

The ePL invitational is back this week!

It’s back! After the success of last month’s ePL Invitational, a new group pf Premier League footballers and special guests will be putting their FIFA 20 skills to the test.

A thrilling first instalment of the competition saw Wolves’ Diogo Jota crowned the winner, beating Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in a dramatic final courtesy of a golden goal.

Premier League clubs will once again be represented by a host of familiar faces going head to head in a knockout competition on PlayStation 4, with all players rated 85 for fairness.

Among the players taking part next week are Phil Foden (Manchester City), Billy Gilmour (Chelsea), James Maddison (Leicester City), John Egan (Sheffield United), Ryan Sessegnon (Tottenham) and Callum Wilson (Bournemouth).

Basically, it’s competitive gaming played via video games in front of a watching audience. It’s professional, competitive, computer gaming – a digital sport for a digital age. This type of gaming involved playing FIFA 20, made by EA Sports. It’s the leading football video game with millions of people playing, watching and competing worldwide.

Matches will be streamed live four times per day from 3pm on Tuesday, ahead of the semi-final and final from 5pm on Saturday May 9.

Jota, who scored 19 goals in four games on his way to winning the last ePL Invitational, said: “I think it is a good tournament for everyone, with good causes involved and also the fans getting involved. At this time, we need to find ways to help communities and also try to keep the fans entertained, giving them something to watch while they are at home.

1:37 Diogo Jota was the inaugural ePremier League Invitational champion after a golden goal win over Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold

“It was good for us players to get some competition as well – I think I was more nervous playing FIFA than when I play real football! Of course, being the champion made it even better.”

Alexander-Arnold said: “It’s good that these kinds of events are going on so people can tune in and feel like a part of something together, and feel like a part of their team. The main thing is that people are staying safe and staying at home.”

How to watch?

Fans can watch all the action throughout the week on the Premier League website, app, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels; Sky Sports YouTube and Twitch channels as well on the Football Daily YouTube channel. Sky’s coverage will be hosted by Saturday Social’s Adam Smith and Joe Thomlinson who will be joined by influencer Harry Pinero.

The prize fund is being donated to the #PlayersTogether initiative, which was created by Premier League players as a collective way of generating funds for the NHS and distributing them where they are needed most. The tournament will also continue to urge everyone to follow official advice by staying home and saving lives.

Arsenal vs Hull - Premier League Prediction

Saturday 11th February 2017 - Arsenal vs Hull (Kick-Off 12:30)

Arsenal last 6 PL results 04/02/17: Che 3 - 1 Ars - L 31/01/17: Ars 1 - 2 Wat - L 22/01/17: Ars 2 - 1 Bur - W 14/01/17: Swa 0 - 4 Ars - W 03/01/17: Bournemouth 3 - 3 - D 01/01/17: Ars 2 - 0 Palace - W

Form in last 6 games Points: 10 (WDWWLL) Goals Scored: 13 Goals Against: 9

Analysis 2 defeats in their last 2 games have seen what was a possible title challenge turn into what will most likely be a fight for the top 4. They have scored the joint second highest amount of goals in their last 6 games and will have to ensure they immediately bounce back with a victory this weekend.

Hull last 6 PL results 04/02/17: Hull 2 - 0 Liv - W 01/02/17: Man Utd 0 - 0 Hull D 22/01/17: Chelsea 2 - 0 Hull L 14/01/17: Hull 3 - 1 Bournemouth - W 02/01/17: WBA 3 - 1 Hull - L 30/12/16: Hull 2 - 2 Everton - D

Form in last 6 games Points: 8 (DLWLDW) Goals Scored: 8 Goals Against: 8

Analysis 3 games against teams in the league's top 6 threatened to make Marco Silva's start to his Hull career very difficult. However, 4 points form a possible 9 against Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea and 2 clean sheets against Liverpool and United was a highly respectable set of results. Combined with the 3 - 1 win over Bournemouth and Hull have collected 7 points from a possible 12 since the Portugese took charge.

Arsenal vs Hull

It seems to be an all too familiar story for Arsenal fans that, come February, their title challenge will vanish, a top four finish is deemed satisfactory and the Gunners will have had a successful season. It is fair to suggest, however, that a side of Arsenal's quality has vastly underachieved in the Premier League since their last title, when they went the entire 2003/04 season unbeaten.

In their last six games, Arsenal have had more possession than all of the sides that they have faced. They have also scored the joint-second highest number of goals in that period (13),  had the second highest number of shots on goal (103) and the third highest shots on target (35). They have, however, faced the fourth highest amount of shots on target against them (32) and teams can punish their poor finishing, as Chelsea and Watford proved.

Since Marco Silva's appointment Hull have been more difficult to break down and their valiant two-leg EFL Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United combined, with just one league defeat under the former Olympiacos manager, has been cause for optimism for the Tigers. Nevertheless, they remain in the relegation zone and need to continue to pick up points to avoid the drop.

Hull have not beaten Arsenal in their last five games and if Arsenal's unlikely title challenge is to be revived then they will need to bounce back and win comfortably to convince not only their fans they can win the league, but to show others in the league that they should be taken seriously for the remainder of the season.

Prediction: Arsenal 3 - 0 Hull
