Open Thread: GW2
This week on the stack we’ve covered the defender scoring for Aston Villa and West Ham, a whole lot on Emmanuel Dennis, scouted Watford’s incoming Turkish International Ozan Tufan, identified a strategy for Tuesday’s waivers and picked five names to stream this weekend (some of them are the same names!)
If you’re a subscriber you can find them all in the archives, any time.
Let’s Not Overreact: The first weekend of the 2021-22 season is in the books with a hattrick for Bruno Fernandes, four assists for Paul Pogba, Mo Salah being involved in all three of Liverpool’s goals and a host of other performances which we need to be evaluating. But evaluating in context.
Game Week Two, preparation? I guess?: The second weekend of the 2021-22 season is already here, and there are a number of storylines we need to be watching carefully. As anyone who has read me for any time knows, I do not change my opinions on the top players based on 90’ of action but we should always be revisiting and revising expectations.
Welcome to the first Open Thread of the regular season!


Hi, John. What’s your concern level for Werner at this point? Worth the top waiver claim still in a Togga/Fantrax league if dropped or better to wait it out to see if any transfer window shockers emerge over the next week? Lukaku, Varane, Odegaard already claimed by other teams in my league.
Good day John
OFPL draft question: I think I can persuade someone to trade me Sterling and I would give Havertz. My current midfield; Havertz, Jota, Raphinha, Beundia, Bailey.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
