The month of August has passed, three Gameweek FPL already played. Some managers are happy and disappointed. For the managers who from the start of the wrong stacking of the squad, then from the first gameweek will get a small value.
Most likely will panic, buy players without thinking clearly, and could be more disappointed in Gameweek 2 and 3. Because the average world manager point is not too big.
Do managers have to be depressed? The answer is certainly not. You still have a wildcard that can be used to overhaul your team.
Then if after using wildcards, team points will be immediately enlarged? certainly not certain, but it can get rid of deadwood from your squad, and buy players with good trends.
Of these early 3 gameweek, though not a definite conclusion, but we can already take a lesson on what happens in the Premier League. What are the new things, who are the shining players. Moreover, the transfer of players has been completed. It's good to "start" your FPL again with new vigor.
Here we will describe the facts and interesting things that can be taken as the learning of FPL managers for 3 gameweek in August. Here's the review!
1. Arsenal Defense
Without reducing respect for Arsenal, the fact they have conceded 8 goals in 3 games and has 2 defeats. Defense is clearly a problem for Arsenal. Injuries to a number of core players early in the season to make Arsenal defense is very easy to penetrate.
Beaten by Stoke 1-0, slaughtered by Liverpool 4-0, a 3-goal haul at home by Leicester, is a very valuable lesson for FPL managers, too dangerous to use the Arsenal defender, much less many of them are not cheaply priced. So it can drain your transfer quota and money.
Then what about the Arsenal attack line? Against Bournemouth at home will be a 'promotion' event for Ozil and Sanchez who are likely to change their costumes next season. Likewise with Lacazette who want to show sharpness.
2. The Power of Liverpool and Man United
Liverpool have scored 8 goals while Manchester have scored 10 goals. Both clubs attack line is very unusual.
Liverpool have Trio Mane-Salah-Firmino who have scored 7 goals from 8 goals created, they also make assists. This makes managers seem to have to include one of them.
Unfortunately Liverpool schedule some gameweek forward very solid. You also have to know, Liverpool defense is not so good, although not conceded in the last two games. So have to think a lot to choose a defender or goalkeeper from Liverpool.
While MU, incised sweet notes both on the front and rear. Lukaku, Pogba, Bailly, De Gea, and Mkhitaryan become players who gain points from the first 3 gameweek FPL. And with a fairly supportive schedule, the players above can be a good choice on your squad.
The arrival of Matic, make Mourinho seamlessly run the scheme he wanted. There are interesting facts where Mourinho always successfully won the league title when entering the second season. It is not a fantasy to see the MU game this season.
3. Marcos Alonso and Alvaro Morata
If FPL players have voting rights in Ballon D'or election, maybe they will choose Alonso. This one is a very expensive player, 7.0 million for a defender, but the potential points generated from this Spanish player is very large.
In Gameweek 2 he scored two goals while coming to the Spurs headquarters. 1 through a free kick, the second through an attack from the left wing. On GW 3 he was a clean sheet success with Chelsea.
What drew attention was Alvaro Morata. Though he has never played a full 90 minutes, he is the striker with a second highest point after Firmino, with 24 points from 2 goals and 2 assists.
He managed to be a substitute for Diego Costa so far, and interesting to note is he scored the result without Eden Hazard.
4. Harry Kane, Spurs and Wembley
As predicted, Wembley will be a bit difficult for Spurs. A very wide field makes Spurs less able to maximize tactics, because Spurs play with White Hart Lane field is not wide.
This factor is likely to make Spurs have not won at home from their last two games. But there is an interesting record, last season's top scorer Harry Kane has yet to score a goal. This is attributed to the curse of August, which is indeed very difficult Kane to score a goal in the month.
But do not hesitate with Kane, he is a quality attacker who may be just unlucky. Kane has fired 24 shots so far, most in the English Premier League far behind second-placed Lukaku who fired 14 shots. With a forward schedule that can be spelled out pretty good, it never hurts to start saving your money to buy Kane in the next GW.

Eventually, I played my wildcard during the international break. I wonder how many in the league did it too.
@herverisson you can use it twice in one season. The second chance is after january transfer window.
Yeah i know. Have you used your first?
Of course, in GW 2 x)
