Mendy was Pep’s man for last year, he couldn’t wait to get him in so I presume he will be a regular. He is also lethal.

Maybe the return from jury will limit his early participation, but he looks a potential steal at 6.0, could be goals, assists, clean sheets, baps

a back 3 would be amazing for Mendy

There's a better one on this website

Excel version would be great but nice piece of data anyway.

To be fair it's most of SW London teams as Chelsea have done fa squared too.

The squad looks threadbare. For a moment I thought it was an error from fpl

Meuiner suspended

No chance he will start

Weak attack, not many captaincy options. I would bring in Aubameyang / Aguero. Also you have no Man City...

A

Rest of the Spurs team may be depleted due to the WC but I still fancy Davies doing well especially with Rose likely having an extended rest

I don't like to plan transfers at the start when there's so much uncertainty and random bandwagon to jump on.

I'm interested in Sanchez - nailed and back from the world cup. Could be a solid pick in a 4/5 at the back for example

He's in my side for the first 2GW's

It just feels a waste of a Liverpool spot. He will get his fair share of clean sheets.

And post VVD, Karius had a better tally. Much better value.

You think Karius will be No1 next year, or was Klopp just saying that to get the prices of his real targets lowered?

A

Yeah fine.
Although whichever teams are involved in the third place playoff games will rotate heavily I suspect.

Wait until GW3 at the earliest. Yet to be seen how Emery will set up, and whether he goes for the PL or EL. Don't think many teams can go for both - it's quite tough. Chelsea, Pool, United, Spurs and Arsenal themselves have all had to prioritise one competition.

Stretch it to Ramsey.

i honeslty never considered Mkhi. Not even at 7m.

I don’t think it matters whether you start with Mkhi, Martial, Ramsey, Siggy, Theo, Milivojevic, as long as if it’s one of the 7.0 or 6.5’s you leave enough ITB to stretch to a 7.5

One or two of that bunch will come good & become a bandwagon

Is not the definition of underpriced: "Priced more cheaply than his expected points would warrant?"

In which case, if you don't think he'll return many points, even for that price, then that means in your opinion, he isn't underpriced, even if he's priced less than most people expected.

Ramsey is the way forward anyway (or maybe both :O)

Depends how many of them you want in. Looks a good approach at the moment.

Always

I said exactly this yesterday.
General feedback I had was that really the players still involved in the world cup will probably be back in contention from GW2, or GW3 at the latest.

I was tempted with some left field picks like Shaw, Lamela, Martial, and WC ahead of GW3...but it's going to be so difficult to predict the early season line ups.

I prefer B but there is the added risk of TAA and Mendy not starting GW1 due to the world cup.

B

A - all 3 nailed every week from the start, and good options in themselves.

TAA and Maendy still at the world cup

C Trippier

Don't like Fabianskis early fixtures, and you can't rotate him.
I like Bellerin...but is he under threat from Lichensteiner...genuinely don't know?
Don't think Neves is a fpl option, he's just Xhaka, but playing for Wolves?
Kane probably won't start GW1.
Like Giroud...again if he's first choice....but still at the WC so like Kane, not sure he starts GW1.

Tough choice! No idea! Let's say Hazard for penalties

Hazard

I think he will thrive in a more attacking team. Until preseason proves me otherwise he is in.

You'd take a high conversion rate over a low conversion rate, wouldn't you?

But seriously, pre-season will indicate the tactical tweaks that will affect the number of chances he's likely to be presented with. I'd expect Everton to be more attacking than they were under Fat S.

Conversely they might be more defensively suspect, which is why i'll be monitoring them t see if I want Pickford or a 4.5 Toffee defender.

Goal: 8/10
Defence: 5/10
Midfield: 7/10
Attack: 5/10

I'm going both Mbaps and Griezz with Hazard.

'Lukaku tends to go missing in games like these" - did you not watch his absolutely incredible QF performance VS Brazil?

Honestly, all of Haz, Lukaku and Griezmann are cracking options. I don't know how to choose

Toffees are looking for a new LB

Coleman is very tempting for sure. Those fixtures are very good.

My initial draft had both Coleman & Baines 🙂 thinking now to start with Alonso & can always go down to Coleman/Baines if they look good.

You can go wrong with those two for 11.0 though, great use of funds & loads of ways to score points

Costly defence when I consider City & Pool defence essential

almost identical to mine but i have maguire and courtois also. How did you end up with so many eliminated? I've thought about hits for mine too but I find it almost impossible to justify. you could end up not even subbing them in

french pair are not very punty. any of the others or mertens / giroud would be punts

Unless they pull a West Ham and throws away the chance of a lifetime early

it's gonna be the template. similar to mine and i'm top of cash league. if you are defending a lead it's perfect, it you are trying to overtake people then you need others. Young is a good start

one has Hazard and KDB feeding him, the other has Lingard and Alli..

Kaku has peaked though, Kane hasn’t even got near top gear. If Kane is saving a big performance for the semi (or final) he could actually brace or hattrick against any team in the world

Both are one game away from a final - doubt they care about which one has played better.

Foxes

I think the Croatian back line will be worried about Sterlings pace, and will probably play a little deeper, and the game will favor Kanes strengths.

I still expect both of them to score hattricks, so you can't really lose.

Well they're about to have a world cup winner commadning the back four 🙂

To be fair, the cheaper ones (4.5m) mostly sport premier league winners medals!

Except it's supposed to depend on Dortmund getting Zaha. Is that likely?
