Goals, goals, goals; what a crazy Gameweek! I can't remember a Premier League season having so much drama and so many options in the first week or two of action. I am certainly reconsidering my team structures going forward as with the additional penalties being awarded and the huge increase in goal volume (is a lack of crowds contributing to this?) it seems taking money out of defence and into attack, specifically penalty takers, may be a profitable strategy.

Andrew's Gameweek 2 Points
A good start in the early kick off from Calvert-Lewin quickly turned sour with my inspired transfer out of Son a real sucker punch. A very poor week and it didn't take much for me to hit the wildcard button.
Hi Andy, did you switch captain to Kane last Sunday?
Hey Ricky, yes, after more thinking I went with Kane on Sky. There are a lot of 50/50 decisions at the moment with so many options!
Also will you post your pre deadline transfers on here or Twitter?
I haven’t been posting any last minute changes as this season I am managing around 30 teams so updating them and posting is impossible. I’m hoping my articles help people think about how to apply thinking to their own teams, the intention is not for anyone to copy my moves as sometimes last minute transfer or captains are a reality, particularly in these turbulent times
Hi mate. I understand that with the last minute ones but surely the ones pre deadline won’t be last minute?
Thanks Andrew for another great insightful article. Like you a nightmare TFF start, but plenty of games to come. Good strategic thoughts on switching from defence investment to further forward…..hmmm. All the best
Thanks for the update, think the swing this weekend in sky will be dependent on the captaincy choice on Sunday. With the potential news kdb might miss out due to concussion do you think you’ll be going for kane on sunday just for the guaranteed starting place
