So only captains vs other low scores?
The "unlucky" ones is where the issue is. A 90 minute Kane fail shouldn't be replaced etc.

That's too much admin for 38gws

Totally agree - more decision and strategy can only be a good thing, though I agree that the game needs to be simpler for the casual given how long it is.

I'll see which one does better in the Community Shield. 😉

I'm only getting Arsenal players gw3. I need to see Emery's approach and starting 11 first. I'm leaning towards Ramsey

mikhi for that 0.5m

TAA, but really, none of the options are nailed.

Lovren

France vs. Belgium, I really have no idea. I didn't know France could be tight defensively after the 4-3 with Argentina, and I didn't know Belgium could put together a performance like they did vs. Brazil. Let's say 2-1 France.

Croatia vs. England - I hope England gets knocked out, but head says narrow England win.

2:1 (Extra time winner)
0:3

What’s yours?

2-1 to France
1-0 to England

2-3
0-3

2-1
0-1

I'll give my predictions that my heart say but not my head as others may use my head's predictions for another game !

3-2 France
2-1 England

2-1 Belgium
1-1 England on pens

Belgium Croatia final

a) 2-2, penalty shoot-out

b) 2-1 Two England set pieces.

shame he has such tough opening fixtures

Have you even used 100M on that?

Hot topic might mean Sterling gets rested.

One of the best fpl Auto picks team I have seen!

Neves is a defensive mid... get Jota

I doubt it

I really like Southgate and the squad so I hope they make the final, put up a good fight but fall short! Please let them fall short 😉

Even if it wasnt, immensely proud of this team. Made fans around the World believe in the Three Lions again. Im optimistic of our chances vs an exhausted Croatia.

Good chance, Löwe main competition.

Believe so.

Some here think Daniels is a trap, maybe Cedric is better? Other than that, great starting 11.

Cedric, Tomkins/Schlupp, Jagielka/Williams best 4.5 def for me.

In a tournament like this, stamina and fitness play a key role. Will be interesting to see how Croatia, in particular, play the semifinal, they look knackerd vs Russia in ET.

Brave going double ARS from but could pay off! Not buying the Walcott hype despite the price, has fail written all over it but Im gambling on Siggy which could be worse!

a

Claesson went out with Sweeden didn’t he?

I think KDB will be given a little break so mightnt see much of him for the first couple of game. I love Eriksen as an FPL asset but I worry about a slow start for them particularly if England make the final

Giroud and KDB are still in WC so may be rested early season.

Are any of those even 4.5mil?

Masuaku and Stephens are popular picks.

Kdb likely, TAA less likely imo

I'm going with Sane for two weeks then switching to KDB

I brought in pogba for coutinho. Could bring in Fellaini/chadli also for Claesson or quint

I feel France/Belgium after the tougher games might be geared up a little more and would expect them to beat England. But you never know. Croatia wont be anyway simple but I suspect England might have a little bit much for them!

What hasn't been "lucky" is the preparation they've put into set pieces - free kicks, corners, penalties. Between Southgate's research of Basketball and other American sports and his Scottish set-piece coach, England have worked out a way to minimise the lack of creativity.

I watched the russia v Croatia game for dealing with set pieces and i noted that Croatia are very vulnerable. Maguire and Stones going up for headers against Lovren? Goals.

They haven't faced a midfielder like Modric, so Hendo will need help there. i do foresee another England victory, although facing a full-strength Belgium or growing France will be a step too far.

A

unless they sign someone I can see Bailly and Lindelof becoming first choice, pre-season should reveal more.... Lindelof @ £5.0M would be a huge bargain in that case.

Jones and Smalling with cheeky cameos from Rojo, unfortunately

Well-balanced and solid.

Not sold on Deulofeu but seeing as he's your only real punt overall it looks solid.

Whichever Everton one starts, look to Bournemouth, Southampton and Wolves.

Daniels, Tomkins, Cedric, Dunk/Duffy, Yedlin, etc. Plenty, just pick the ones who have the best fixtures and some attacking potential.

Completely agree - so much of last season was spent switching between big-hitters, only to miss out immediately on a haul. Would have been much better off saving my transfers.

Not as simple as that. Couple of years ago when champions Chelsea started poorly we hung onto our assets, but they never got better! Last year I invested a lot in Alonso but he never really got going. Josh King was also a disappointment (not that he's 'A league'), as was Ozil.

I agree

It's good. If TAA is rested for GW1 you've got Tomkins as cover. You're assuming Pope won't have time off.

If Kun, Kane or PEA get going, you're screwed.

Otherwise looks good. Not sure about a Palace triple up.
