Pre-Season Guide Underway

He's a no from me. He won't be cheap as a united striker. That team is too defensive only world class players like ibra could score extensively under Mourinho's tactics.

I completely ignore pre season form. It is meaningless regardless of the opposition. That's been shown every single season.
Useful for some insight into a managers tactical thinking.

Does it really matter?

I'd bet on that, yeah

Open Monday afternoon if all tests passed in the morning ?

"we", "our" .. ironic that your name is Individual. 😉

Agree that it's looking like Monday afternoon or Tuesday.

Is this your first year on FFS? 🙂

Burrrrrrrrrn the witch

#WaxysOfEvil

😀

It's funny, i have the complete opposite perspective to you. I can't understand how someone CAN'T care about when the game launches, i'm like a kid waiting for christmas to get into the site, see all the prices, start building a squad & tinkering. As an FPL fan it's one of the most important milestones of the year. But to each their own i guess.

It does not really bother me either,i think i only registered 2 or 3 weeks before the deadline last season and got id 176963 and would be quite happy to get it again.

The low ID thing I really couldn't give a toss about. But seeing the prices / ending the speculation / starting the long tinkering process is the highlight of the season for me. All downhill from there 😉

A low ID number means nothing to me, but player prices will allow us to start building our squads, although the chances of our initial squads remaining intact until GW1 are slim.

I wasted far to much time on preseason plans that didn't come to fruition last summer, so it's price curiosity more than anything that keeps me coming back to this site at the moment. My serious planning won't start until late July at the earliest.

Hoping to out do last years 93284

If classed as a mid he'll still be essential, but I'll be interested to see if laca takes pens

The assumption here is that he continues to play for Arsenal?

Wow left wing with a back 4 reall hits his output... How did ozil's stats map across those games? And the fullbacks? I think ozil & bellerin could be sleeper picks this year if wenger keeps the back 3 going

Nope, as we expect 3-4-2-1 and his stats are encouraging there

Sanchez is always of interest regardless of position

They're going to have a lot of money to spend.

If it's one it's because they haven't confirmed them yet.
Lauded? Everything I read is very fence sitty.
Yeah I don't see many big wins. I see good clean sheet potential at a cheap price and good scoring potential from gabbiadini

Bertrand towards top of my wishlist... they should be solid at the back & he is good going forwards plus on some corners. He should be a very good value 5.5 pick. I'd say better value than most 6.0 mids. Same with PVA if he's 5.0. I'd prefer both of those as my 4th mid & third striker even.

Yeah, it's not going to be easy for them to adjust imo.

However, a 5m Soton defender might be hard to turn down

Another just announced;

Saints will take on the Swiss Super League side on Saturday 15th July, at FC Goldach's Sportanlage Kellen ground, which is in Switzerland, with kick-off set for 3.30pm BST.

5m forma Southampton defender would be nice

You and IE love spreading the anti-United propaganda don't you 😆

Maybe that is how he felt back in 2014 but he has obliviously got smarter with age 😉

In the two games that hazard missed last season fabregas played only one - he scored 11 that match.

Certainly no guarantee fab will start.

I think haz absence will make Pedro and Willian more viable.

4am

1:60pm

Vader Time.

Fel like last year you'd get a few of these £0.5m swings towards the cheaper end but FPL really have it in for us this year.

Agreed

+1

It's the correct price. He dropped initially because he didn't play, but started to go back up once a starter.

Started 8.0 didn't he or was it 7.5?

Either way he plays for City, he's class and Pep likes him. If anything 8.5 is only as low owing to rotation threat. Couldve been 9.0.

No way should he be more than Salah

More of a rotation risk? I know what you mean though

Very odd really. And I don't see rotation as an excuse as I expect City mids to be rotated just as heavily as Pool mids.

Yep, really odd. Salah and Sané's prices seem the wrong way around.

My garbage id last year cost me from the get go.

Yes they play and yes your right, Martin Axford had ID1 a couple of years back

Fpl ID the number in the address bar in gameweek history right? I thought that doesn't change. Even if it did, what advantage is there to having a low one?

Rotation, rotation, rotation.

Agreed. Assume Bernardo silva might be priced around the same, but I think he played confederations cup so might not have much of a preseason

I disagree.

Was expecting 8 max.

England are crap with all the sports they think they invented 😉

Come on, now.

English cricket is in a good place and we will still win this match

His price hasn't been released yet but if 9.0 I wouldn't start with him

Ssssshh. His price hasn't been set yet.

Ozil and Ramsey are on the radar big time i think they will do a lot better under new system and with the new acquisitions.

If Sanchez leaves, certainly.

If he goes to PSG both Sane and Ozil will be nailed into my squad.

Boom! People just need to find a way to complain.

Many don't watch football outside of PL. If you haven't done it in the PL, you're rubbish 😉

Has FPLVirgin moaned about it yet?

Pogba Ozil Sane
Lukaku

Think that will bring in big points tbh

Similar:

4.5 GK/4.0

Valencia, Cedric, 3x4.5

Sane, Ozil, Pedro, poss start with Fabregas, 5.5

Kane Benteke Defoe

keep spare change

Even thinking a Sane/Jesus and Pogba/Lukaku double double-up!

How come your so keen on Southampton defence?

Fodder to be classified as a midfielder

Think he can, left side of the front 3.

Goodbye Lexi 😉

10.5

I think he was 10m.

Some day next week.

Nope, he's one of the more safer options imo. He's in my team unless Sanchez moves to City.

If Sanchez joins, certainly.
If he doesn't, he should start ahead of Sterling. Nolito and Navas have gone. Bernardo Silva we don't know about yet.
