Stats
Next up, stats guru Bakar pulls together a convincing argument for jumping on board Antonio. He’s head and shoulders above his nearest rivals right now when it comes to big chance involvements, demonstrating his ability to grab goals and assists.
Big chance involvements:
(After two gameweeks)
Antonio 7 ?
Salah 4
DCL/Jota/Pogba/Bruno/Benrahma 3Antonio simply on another level now!

Defence
FPL Banger showcases why we ought to be considering Shane Duffy in our Gameweek 3 transfer plans. He’s a popular option given his price and the draw of attacking returns compounds clean sheet potential.
Potter on Shane Duffy (£4.1m) :
"I think he’s come back pre-season really well…
He brings a lot to the game and he’s really important to us…"
In 2021, only Manchester City and Chelsea (both 13) have kept more clean sheets than Brighton (10) ?#FPL pic.twitter.com/G9rbaLObh8

Injuries
As always, Ben Dinnery brings us the all-important injury news ahead of the deadline and some of the biggest news comes from Liverpool, where Andrew Robertson is working his way back to fitness. Could it be time to replace Tsimikas?
Robertson ready for Saturday: “I’ll have a full week of training so let’s see what happens against Chelsea. But I’ll be ready, I’ll be ready to play, and like I said I’ll hopefully be fit for the rest of the season now.”

Tip
Finally, it’s easy to knee-jerk on transfers from poor initial performances, especially with West Ham attackers and Lukaku looking good. FPL Goat urges where to pull the trigger in this FPL GW3 Tip.
Some tips for GW3 ✅
1. Benrahma is close to a must have, I would sell Barnes for him regardless the Norwich game
2. Son the best captiancy option for GW3
3. Try having 2 FTs going into the International break
4. No need to take hits to get Kane/Lukaku#FPL #FPLCommunity
