Punts
With bandwagons emerging everywhere, Fantasy Football Pundits discusses the key transfer punts for our Gameweek 2 tips. We didn’t expect to see Lukaku this early on in the season, will he be back firing?
?| “Lukaku spearheading the attack will be the prime benefactor of these two players performing”
Has Lukaku ever been such a differential?https://t.co/5sdEFQ7ksr

Injuries
Injury expert, Ben Dinnery, has provided an update on the status of Kevin De Bruyne. No surgery is required which means a more positive prognosis, expect to see him back in mid-November. Pep rotation simplified?
Manchester City confirm Kevin De Bruyne has suffered a lateral collateral ligament [LCL] lesion in his right knee. No surgery is required, and the midfielder is expected to be out for around three months. #MCFC pic.twitter.com/8Ei1PGVrX4

Kyle Walker talking Kevin de Bruyne on @bbc5live "Bernardo Silva has played in KdB's position and he is fantastic. We are still waiting for David Silva to get back to full fitness so we have more than enough cover. It is difficult to go the whole season without injury." #MCFC

Vs
Gameweek 1 was underwhelming for strikers and the picture could be similar again this time around. FPL Vs looks at the prior performance, with Aguero’s record against Huddersfield bringing particular appeal.
