The Big Boy Games
Haters Gonna Hate +2 5XMLS Fantasy Champ
Haters forced into an early Ayew replacement makes it tough to get 2 wins out of the gate, look for the MLS King ‘s 3rd striker Gray to make all the difference in this one.
Downing Young Boys -3.5 TBD
Having six different goal scorers in your squad isn’t something Downing will come to see again this season, however his front 7 remains settled so the metrics give him a slight edge over “TBD’s TBD midfielders” (in Lingaard and Deulofeu). Edge might be to TBD if playing time were assured.
Red Cards +1.5 XhakaKhanLetMeRockU
Red Cards opted for big guns in the middle of the park, over Xhaka’s big money frontline, but No Aguero for Red Cards makes the ML an easy call.
They Will Also Play Games
Boyle -8 The World Average
After week one, Boyle’s contrarian team has him backed into a Firmino shaped corner, and unfortunately he doesn’t really get involved with those, so it’s open play Bobby Firms goals or nothin’ this week for him. Oh wait, he’s playing against the world average. He’ll be fine. His team is still terrible.
Muchados +0.5 Pooponastick
Muchados somehow put up 70 points with Fletcher on the field, so I’m not sure what to make of his team, some great pieces some big question marks. What a shitshow GW1 for poop, should bounceback with a big week from Vardy, unless of course he already dropped him. If that’s the case who knows what to make of this matchup.
The Oh Someone Let These Guys In The League Games
Snoop Poggy Pogba +1.5 Pitch Punters
When I plugged Snoop’s team into the Fletchermetrics Computer, half his team came back with error 404 source not found. If Payet starts it could be an interesting captain for Pitch Punters, which is always something you want to be saying about someone’s team in week two. In the end, Snoop Poggy Pogba is managed by the best fantasy manger on the planet, and I have much to learn from him. He will very likely win the liga.
Dethohol +0.5 Car Ramrod
Both of these teams have already lost value, and this should be easily the lowest scoring game of the week. I took the under at 1. Long gameweek even longer year ahead. Dethohol’s VC didn’t even play last week. Not looking good for the sequel to last years squad. Look for next year’s reboot of this Ghostbuster to have an all female cast. Car Ramrod hoping that Mktharian starting this week could make all the difference. Regardless, it will be a low scoring affair, that I won’t be watching.
