Gameweek 2 review: results, top scorer and the round's numbers

Gameweek 2 review

How Gameweek 2 of the Fantasy Premier League season played out: the final score in every fixture, the average manager's haul, the top score, the most-captained player and the gameweek's highest-scoring individual.

Using the round to plan the next one

A finished gameweek is the best read on form there is. Cross the round's hauls with the Statz projections and the fixture ticker to work out which returns are repeatable and which were one-offs before you spend a transfer on them.

Gameweek 2 Review: frequently asked questions

What was the average score in FPL Gameweek 2?

The average score is shown at the top of this page, straight from the official Fantasy Premier League data for Gameweek 2, alongside the highest score any manager posted in the round.

Who was the top scorer in Gameweek 2?

The gameweek's highest-scoring player, and the player the most managers captained, are both listed in the round summary above - taken from the official FPL gameweek data once the round is checked.

How do I use a finished gameweek to plan ahead?

Look for repeatable returns rather than one-off hauls. Cross this round's scores with the Statz projections for the next gameweek and the fixture ticker: a player who returned against a soft fixture and now faces a run of hard ones is a worse buy than his gameweek score suggests.

Do these pages cover previous seasons?

No - gameweek pages cover the current Premier League season only. Once a new season starts, Gameweek 1 refers to the new campaign.
