The new Meta?
With GW1 over, we have a brief idea of what is to come.
Most teams with at least 70 points in GW1 have Sterling(12 mil) + Salah (12.5 mil) in the teams. Looking at the performances, these two would most likely bring the points home consistently.
Sterling(hat trick) looks more likely to score goals independent of his position (centre/ left-wing forward). Guardiola would be more dependent on him rather than Jesus or Aguero to get him the goals.
Salah got a goal + assist and has much more potential in him. He was taking corners more often during the game (one of the assists in GW1 was via a corner). Furthermore, he has a TSB% (Teams selected by %) of 44.7. If he is not in your team, you have got to make sure you have someone else better who can consistently bring the points week in week out.
One gameweek might be too soon to make a judgement of some other players who might provide consistent returns.
However, that being said, these are some interesting players to look at to make way for the premier/expensive players.
GK
Ryan (4.5 mil, bonus point and low FDR(fixture difficulty rankings) in the next 2 gameweeks)
Adrian (4.5 mil, tempting especially with Alisson out for the next few weeks)
DEF
Lundstram (4.0 mil, started in midfield in the previous game. might or might not start as there are other players in his main position )
MID
Dendoncker (4.5 mil, already in most teams have a TSB% of 15.6. His goal was disallowed. He is up in the box during set pieces and looks hungry to score.
FOR
Pukki (6.5 mil, great goal.Good positioning and played considerably well against Liverpool)
Barnes (6.5 mil, scored a brace, clinical finisher if he gets the opportunity
All the best for the next Gameweek!
