EPL Gameweek 3 Preview - Will this be the week for Man United's first win of the season?

Before I got involved with the Fantasy Premier League, I usually imagined that it was too easy to score high points in the league.

Now that I'm part of the league, with only two gameweeks played out of 38 game weeks, this looks like it's going to be a long joyride. Haha.

The fun never ends as far as the English Premier League is concerned and each game week offers a lot of jaw-dropping results. Gameweek 2 was not an exception. It was very interesting for several reasons including the intense rivalry that was displayed by Antonio Conte and Thomas touches.

We also saw the likes of Manchester United put up another awful performance as they sit at the bottom of the table. We all believe that they won't be there forever and we still rate them as one of the big six clubs in the English Premier League. But the interesting part of all this is that they may end up being relegated.

Haha. I didn't say that 🤐.

It's funny how I'm making a caricature of Manchester United when Liverpool FC have not been living up to expectation. Haha. We should already have 6 points with 8+ goal difference, but what we are seeing was never in the script. Haha. I still find this funny but it won't be funny if we mess things up (again) this game week.

You know what, Liverpool will be travelling to Manchester United this game week.

Look at that... Two snails will be facing each other this game week.

People think this would be too easy for Liverpool and I don't doubt that, but I'm wondering what the case will be if Manchester United get their first win of the season in this game against Liverpool.

Dang! I'm struggling to imagine a world where this current Man United side will school Liverpool. Haha.

I will be so livid if something like that happens. Even a draw at this stage is not acceptable for Liverpool but judging from the recent performance of Manchester United, a draw will pass for a good result from them. I can't wait to see how this game plays out.

That is the most prolific match of this game week but make no mistake... we still have very interesting fixtures to watch out for. Pick anyone that suits your taste and have a blast.

Let's have a look at my fpl performance

I moved up the ranks in the HiveFPL league from the 66th to the 57th position. That's a fairly insignificant move, but it's still exciting to be making a progressive move.

My points improved in a more significant;

From 47 points in game week 1...

... to 64 points in game week 2.

I finally got to kick Coutinho out of my midfield after the awful performance he displayed in game week 1 and 2.

I replaced him with Martinelli based on his recent performance. Haha. I hope this turns out as a good call.

Once this game week starts, Virgil Van Dijk will be the next player that will be shipped out because I don't understand what's happening in Liverpool at the moment. Having two defenders from there (VVD & TAA) have not been a good idea since this season.

That should be all for now. I genuinely hope Liverpool gets to play well from now on. Hehe. Hopefully!
