GW-3 Review: How Did You Do?

GW-3 is over, and we have plenty to talk about! Ten-man Liverpool came back from the dead against Newcastle on a heroic display from super-sub Darwin Nunez to win 2-1. Man City struggled for its 2-1 victory against relegation-fodder Sheffield United. And Arsenal fell into the late-match complacency trap to draw 2-2 with 10-man Fulham.

My FPL

GW-3

I’ve been barely keeping up with the average since the beginning of the season, continuing the trend this GW. My defenders were the main reason for not scoring slightly better than the average of 44 points — Emerson Royal staying on the bench, Wan Bissaka conceding 2 goals and receiving a yellow card. Brighton’s Steele and Estupinan also backfired against a strong West Ham side... That now sits 2nd in the EPL table. Who expected that three weeks ago?

It is still early in the season, so I may still give my defenders more time to recover while I keep faith with Wilson to do some damage in the coming two weeks after Newcastle’s difficult start.
