DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS WINS MANAGER GAMEWEEK 7 PRIZE

Fielding a five-man defence proved to be an inspired move by Brunei manager Radin Udara.

His Admin kotw team brought in 122 points to earn him Gameweek 7's Manager of the Week accolade.

And his five defenders, together with Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart (£4.6m), secured Radin more than half of that total.
The Gameweek's top scorer, Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire (£5.5m), led the way with 18 points.

A goal, assist, clean sheet and maximum bonus points helped Maguire to a second double-digit haul of the campaign as the Foxes beat Newcastle United 2-0.

Three other members of the Dream Team defence could also be found in Radin's side.

Wolverhampton Wanderers duo Jonny (£4.4m) and Matt Doherty (£4.5m) brought in 12 points each, while Tottenham Hotspur wing-back Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) recorded 11 in the 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town.

Radin captained Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling (£11.0m).

The winger's fourth goal of the season, and his second assist, produced 14 points as Pep Guardiola's side saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane (£12.5m) was only one shy of that total as he scored both goals in the victory over the Terriers.

Attacking returns from Sergio Aguero (£11.4m), Theo Walcott (£6.6m) and Wolverhampton Wanderers' striker Raul Jimenez (£5.6m) also boosted Radin's total.

As the manager with the highest score among those not using any of their chips, the Cardiff City fan wins a copy of FIFA 19, a Nike Merlin match ball and an FPL rucksack and mug.

WHEN IS THE FPL GAMEWEEK 1 DEADLINE?

It's almost a ritual for Fantasy Premier League managers to spend their Saturday morning agonising over their team. Be it a late transfer or a last-minute captain swap, these vital moments before a Gameweek deadline can decide where mini-leagues are won or lost. But be warned. If you leave it until Saturday this time it will be too late. Because the 2018/19 season starts on Friday 10 August, all Gameweek 1 teams must be finalised an hour before the opening match of the season kicks off. That means managers must submit their final selections by 19:00 BST on Friday 10 August... a week from today! Don't get caught out Similarly, those waiting for the transfer window to close before starting on their FPL team are at risk. While big-name signings could yet be added to the game before 17:00 BST 9 August, managers putting off registration could pay a big price. Remember, the speed with which managers register their FPL teams can affect their chances of winning mini-leag...

THE CHANGING GAME OF KANTE AT CHELSEA

If anyone had suspected N’Golo Kante’s goal on the opening weekend against Huddersfield Town was a one-off, his performance in a 3-2 win over Arsenal confirmed it was not. The Frenchman has a very different role under Maurizio Sarri, whose side travel to Newcastle United on Sunday. Freed to attack The energy was familiar; Kante covered 12.47 kilometres against Arsenal. What was different was where he was expending it. Kante’s three shots in the match were four times his average per 90 minutes last season and he created four chances for others too, more than any other Chelsea player. Even more unusually, he had five touches in the opposition penalty area. That is almost 10 times his average from last season. The most he managed in any of those matches was just two. An opportunity for opponents Opponents will struggle to enjoy comfortable possession against Chelsea now that Kante has been freed up from his defensive duties to go hunting for the ball. But there are still con...
