Gameweek 1 is over
Not many had predicted a Burnley victory against Chelsea including two red cards. As well as not a lot had predicted seven goals in Arsenal-Leicester (4-3), or six goals in Watford-Liverpool (3-3), but that's the beauty of Premier League. Somebody did actually manage to predict this first match week very well in our Steemit Fantasy League besides the crazy results.
Three of the managers managed to score at least 80 points. "Asamtho Steemit FC" (81 points), "Hellas but not least" (81 points) and 11 "Jarv Specials" (80 points) did extremely well. The two leading teams both had Lukaku on their team while the rest of the teams in the top three looked completely different to one another. "Jarv Specials" managed to score 80 points without Lukaku. Ben Davies, who scored a goal, Eriksen with two assists and Agüero being the ones that secured him a great first match week. "Jarv Specials" was one of two teams in the top 10 that hadn't included Lukaku in their team for the first match week. Stil he managed to get a great start. Let's take a closer look at the two leading teams.
"Asamtho Steemit FC"
This team is dominated by Manchester United and Liverpool players. To have a lot of Manchester United players is a great choice as they will meet their first contender for the title in October. Liverpool is playing Crystal Palace where I expect an easy win for Liverpool against Crystal Palace who looks extremely bad and need a lot of time to adjust to their new style of playing. He also has two Everton players who play Manchester City away next week. He might want to change them, maybe not? On the bench he has Mustafi who might switch with Keane. His midfield is strong. Mané and Salah will be great players to have on your team for next week. Congratulations on your great start.
"Hellas but not least"
This team is a bit of a mix. Players from Arsenal, Chelsea, City, United, Spurs and even Huddersfield. His attack of Lukaku, Mounie and Lacazette is looking strong. Lukaku will keep scoring, Mounie might score more goals next week against Newcastle at home. Lacazette looked dangerous and might score again against Stoke away. Another team playing away is Chelsea against Tottenham He picked Willian and Rüdiger to be on his team who might not have the greatest match week of them all next week after the disaster against Burnley. His bench is weak, and he might have to be active on the transfer market unless he believes in Chelsea. We never know. Also congratulations to you on your great start!
