Fantasy Football 2016 Tips: 10 Gambles For Game Week 2

One week down, should you stick or twist?

The first week of the season is always a hectic time for fans, teams, and football managers alike, especially those of the fantasy variety. You chose your eleven heroes to start the season, but did you make the right decisions? There's always a temptation to root out every member of your team who didn't score a goal on the opening day to replace them with those who did, and you suddenly begin to have the occasional horrifying thought such as: 'Should I drop Diego Costa and Sergio Aguero for Papiss Cisse and Arouna Kone?' Don't panic. The season has barely even started, and your players just need a chance to settle into the league, however, for the bold manager there are always deals to be done and changes to be made, even if it involves the highly risky -4 points per transfer over your limit of 1 swap per week. The opening weekend of the Premier League offered up a mixed bag for the players deemed to be essential for your team. None of the 8 most expensive strikers managed a goal, but that obviously isn't a sign of things to come. There were some stellar performances from lesser known talents and stars who have been given bargain price tags, so let's take a look at 10 gambles you could take ahead of Week 2.
