Nobody really.

Swansea 1-0

Quite fancy Burnley, 2-1.

Complete guesswork, though. 😛

Siggy and Grey.

Promoted teams tend to do well in first 5 games.

2-2. Braces for Gray and Ayew 😉

Shouldn't ask this on a biased-towards-their-team FPL site 😆 😉

Swansea

1-1

Rhodes/Negredo

Wilson looks good

Maybe Long if Hes ready

Liverpool at home isn't horrible.

it's far too early to truly know whether the fixtures are bad or not..I wouldn't be so sure that Liverpool at home is a bad fixture

Rondon

Liverpool can't defend - fancy Gray in that one. Plus, doesn't matter if Burnley get stuffed 6-1 as long as Gray gets the 1!
Look at Vardy's brace last year when Leicester lost 5-2 to Arsenal.

need a CB too probably

This.

We say that every year but it's the first time we have 3-4 top managers in ages.

Me.

Looks like Moreno is linking up well in pre season

It looks it should be too expensive. Which is a good sign!

I think Tadic

I'm leaning towards tadic, more will go through him I think

Tadic

Gabriel might might be better option than Evans for long term. Not sure about Bolasie either.

Front 3 looks strong

You are missing a captain option other than aguero. I would get hazard or KdB

Good looking team

Deeney I reckon

A&M

Best defence in league 😀 looool

wow steady on. best defence in league? I think not 🙂

Perhaps, guys. Surely they will be in top 5.

🙄 Based on a friendly or two?

I thought he was superb last season whenever I saw him, very talented and surprisingly physical. Looks like a point explosion waiting to happen. My only concern is that he seemed to gets subbed off quite a bit, or occasionally rested / rotated.

Yes - but expect plenty of variation in personnel.

Depends on opponent. Could see a variation of 4231 then a 433. I don't see Studge starting in a 433 in some games, Bobby offers the higher press. 4231 gets them all in though.

I think B is better but A gives you more flexibility. Going A allows you to switch Hazard to the 9.5's if they start well - Mahrez Mkhi Payet Ozil. It's good to be flexible early doors. I'd go A for that reason.

B. Really like Tadic who I think we can assume is nailed. Not keen on Austin until he proves he is nailed.

Having the same doubts. Someone here said he's due back on the 31st.

From the Echo, a week ago;
"John Stones, Ross Barkley and new signing Shani Tarashaj were among those to join up with the Everton squad but Lukaku is not expected back until the end of the week at the earliest. "

Too risky I'd say.

Also a total troll every year. Only getting in if a bandwagon appears.

Not easy to pick a strike force here. Going with Zlatan alongside Aguero and a budget midfield is getting more and more tempting for me.

I like it. Apparently Jakupovic might start so worth having him as your 4.0?

Reasonable punts apart from that! Can't give much advice currently as it's the start of the season so everything is open to debate!

Love the team. I would though. The only difference we have is Azpil to Morgan and Townsend to Tadic. Looks a good spread of values across the team making transfers relatively easy.

No point asking here.. This place is full of ____ too. 😛 😀

Youtube ftw.

Probably float valve knackered. If you are feeling brave see if there's one that looks like it on the Wickes website.

Thank you for this, I didn't realise FFS had such versatility!

I would try and get hazard or KdB. Deulofeu nailed on?
Vardy worth the £?
Don't think there is a starting 4.0 defender?

A little too much on gks and D...which results in a weakened milfield, usually the heaviest scoring part of the game.

I'd downgrade gks to Heatster and remove Azpi for Wollschield/McAuley. Delafool and Eriksen need upgrading to the likes of KGB, Mahrez and possibly Hazard.

There's probably better value than Vardy too if you look for it.

Rating: 4/10.

Always want more in pre-season. So many options that could be good - but many don't turn out that way.

Smooth - wonder about Walker always starting (UCL rotation) and also about Zaha starting. KdB could also start the season late so I'd maybe invest in a United midfielder instead who isn't euro burnt out (e.g. Mkhi).

Don't know if Costa is the #1 striker with Bat there and maybe Lukaku... any alternative?

That's about it 🙂

Photoshop. Kante's wearing #7.

Isn't Kane no 7

Looks good considering you have Aguero + Ibra.

Very likeable and I like how you go for the cheapest way into a D, something which many on here fail to do.

However, your weakest area is your mids. Eriksen is a little on the light side, Miki is a hunch pick at this stage and Ayew tailed off badly last season.

I'd downgrade Ibra and get the likes of KGB, Mahrez, Hazard in there.

Rating: 5/10.

Good team, but perhaps resist temptation to go double United in attack - Mahrez for Mkhi? Or Ozil/Payet etc?

Thank you for your feedback - now i can rub my head once again around my FPL squad!

I like the idea of Kun and Ibra up front supported by Wilson without injury. It is hard to downgrade Ibra being a optimistic united-fan. Ayew is exiting with OOP potential and initial home-matches vs Burnley and Hul. After that maybe willian or Tadic might be good replacements? By downgrading Townsend to Gradel i can upgrade Eriksen to a 9.5 mid. Ill probably start up Mahrez for the first match vs Hull. Im not convinced on Hazard despite a good Euro. If Arsenal buys a premium striker Mkhi is replaced by özil. If Berahino travels to Stoke he might be an option for Wilson. Too much of a risk doubling on bournemouth in my attacking line?

After adjustments:
Foster - Heaton
Shaw - McAuley - Stones - Pieters - Fry
Mkhi - Mahrez - Ayew - Gradel - Leko
Ibra - Aguero - Wilson

Apparently 4 at the back in a 424 (nice rebrand of 442 there):

My head hasnt turned 'just' yet. Needs to display Siggy at present

We'll want him staying. Him and Delboy were a right double act for the first half of last season.

Varies from club to club.
