This week

GW1

Alright — GW1 is done. Before the deadline we wrote down who we liked. Full disclosure: here's who we got right, who we got a bit wrong, and who completely ignored us.

Overall it wasn't a weird week. The weirdness is in a few names. Anyway. Here's who that actually was.

The good

Let's start with the quiet wins. These 10 aren't the hauls you'll still be talking about on Wednesday. They just did pretty much what we thought they would.

Player Pitchline → FPL
Rigg SUN 1 1
Lewis-Skelly ARS 3 3
A.Becker LIV 2 2
Scott BOU 2 2
Tielemans MUN 2.1 2
Dalot MUN 0.9 1
Thiaw NEW 2.9 3
Longstaff LEE 0.9 1
Garnacho AVL 0.8 1
Alderete SUN 1.2 1

These are players we thought would not be used.

Player Pitchline → FPL
Soler BOU 0.1 Unused
Fredricson MUN 0.1 Unused
Davies TOT 0.1 Unused
Byfield TOT 0.1 Unused
Rowswell TOT 0.1 Unused
Souza TOT 0.1 Unused
Masuaku SUN 0.1 Unused
Burrowes AVL 0.1 Unused
Valdimarsson BRE 0.1 Unused

The bad

Then the "yeah, fair enough" ones. Not close enough to brag about, not wild enough to be angry. These 10 sit in that middle bit: annoying if they were in your team, gone from your head if they weren't.

The ugly

And then the chaos. Two ways to be completely wrong.

We thought these wouldn't do much. They did.
