FPL Gurus Gameweek 2: Worth the kneejerk?
A strong gameweek one for me leaves me with 75 points. Salah, the captain, paid off in the final minutes while Haaland and Reijnders shone in the Manchester City victory over Wolves.
For many, the 50/50 decisions didn’t go their way, particularly with blanks for the likes of Palmer, Watkins, Joao Pedro, and Bowen left many picking up few points with their mid to high-priced assets.
The keys are to remember that FPL is a 38-game-week game, and there will be 37 gameweeks to improve on a poor gameweek 1.
My gameweek 1 review.

Ryan Gravenberch and Emi Martinez return from suspensions picked up at the end of last season, but Ezri Konsa will serve a suspension following his red card against Newcastle.
