Last Minute Gameweek 3 Tips
The community return with all their Gameweek 3 tips.
Liverpool and Manchester City players continue to be popular options.
Preview
The Fantasy YIRMA Preview brings player picks right across the pitch, plus an option for those managers playing the draft game. Should owners of Josh King be more patient with a home game against Everton next?

Expected
FPL Braveheart has done a great job of combining the expected goals, assists and clean sheet data, to identify players who have underperformed from an FPL perspective. The points are coming for Aubameyang and Davies.

It's back! I've updated the xFPL spreadsheet (see link on my profile) for the start of this season.

Defenders
It’s no surprise that Liverpool defenders are popular, with back to back clean sheets to start the season. Robertson has been the go to selection, but the Editor has identified a significantly cheaper alternative in the underlying statistics.
Alexander-Arnold (5.0) vs. Robertson (6.0)

Biggest eye opener. Crosses. 19 vs. 2

Injuries
The absence of some key players won’t help Brighton’s case, as they travel to Anfield for a tricky fixture. Lewis Dunk in particular will be a big loss in the heart of their defence. Advantage Liverpool attackers?
"Lewis Dunk [ankle] hasn't trained this week but it's not as bad as we first feared. Florin Andone [groin], Bruno [hamstring] and Jose Izquierdo [knee] will all miss the weekend." #BHAFC

Dilemma
In this weeks community dilemma, WGTA and Stag debate whether to accommodate Aubameyang or Mane in your team. It’s difficult to find the balance of funds, could the fixtures swing it?

Heart says Salah ❤️
