World Cup Final Transfer Tips: The Big Numbers

4.5 defender obviously

He's straight in my team at £11.0m thank you.

Source?

Playing that RW inside forward he could tear it up!
Sanchez - Heskey 😆 - Bale

They try and sign Bale every year. He won't leave RM

Oof. 11.0 mid might be a little too low. But then: Mourinho.

I hope this happens so that Arsenal can finally sign Martial 😀

Imagine Karius or Pickford against Bale 😮

Coleman more explosive these days. Baines getting old now so might not make the runs up and down like Coleman can

B

Mids

Jonty
Tm
Mark
Az

Salah
Sanchez
Hazard
Eriksen

Not much between Mendy & Coleman attacking wise so i'd go A as Pickford will pick up more save points than Ederson.

B. Mendy and Pickford are still at the WC. I guess they will miss the first 2 GWs at least.

A

Don't see why not. You've been able to do it every other round.

I think so.
They've just signed another young centre back from Corinthians, but Diop seems really made for the PL, shame west ham have some tough opening fixtures

I don't know how I pressed za as I pressed enter

I'd prefer to pay 4.0za for Ward but 4.5za also sounds good for a Liverpool keeper!

Although from Liverpool's point of view what would sound even better is a new keeper signing.

I think many would sigh and pay the 14.0 for him. Good first few fixtures for Liverpool and he's as nailed as anyone

I think he's just at the limit now, just because I wasn't playing FPL during the Ronaldo and van Persie years so have never seen anyone priced higher than 13 (Aguero in my first year of playing).

for a season target total of 2400 & Salah doing 300 again -:
as constant captain he is worth 1/4 of that so £25m
or as constant captain he is 2/12 of the team =100/6 = £17m
or as a 'no captain' at all he is worth 300/24 = £12.5

On the basis of what that leaves for the rest of the team I'd hesitate at over £13.5

11.5 or maybe 12 at a push

Tough one! I’m constantly switching between these...

Swaying towards finding the money for Siggy and Zaha ...

I'd do Mkhi and Zaha, but just a preference.

get steklenberg (sp) instead of speroni for cover for pickford

Strong team and a nice even balance across it.

I have Mendy and Robertson just now but I struggle with the idea of all that money at the back. Especially since TAA could start for 1m less and Mendy may not start the first GW due to being away (still needs a holiday then fitness after dispite not playing).

Very good apart from Eriksen and TAA

Spurs have a depleted squad

TAA massive risk of not playing because ... Clyne Gomez etc...

Dilva is 78years old plus masive rotation there. Sane or Mahrez much better as City mids.
TAA is a rotation risk too.
Fix that and you are G2G

c best value for money imo

C

I'm doubling up but not sure which two. Will see how they look in pre-season.

A for me

A

Currently on C (does seem decent value) but Siggy could tempt me instead if he was definitely on penalties and playing proper number 10 in a more attacking team. We'll see.

B 100%. All three could turn out good, but Walcott has flattered to deceive for too long. Tosun could also be threatened by Niasse, who was signed by Silva at Hull. Siggy has set piece advantage however and this is a MASSIVE advantage for fantasy

Absolutely no consensus here at all... tough one!

Personally wouldn't be happy benching a 5.0 GK.

Yep been happening for at least a week now, right?

Yeah happening to me too, very frustrating.

Same here. At least it's not my computer then.

yes, Salah AND Mane could pay off big time.

Forgot my subs:

Button, Silva, Fellaini, Laporte

LOTS of money on that bench, unless you're planning a GW1 bench boost there's really no need for so much investment in your subs. Also, no Salah could hurt you bad but it's a risk several are taking.

Son apparently away at asian games for start of season

This is as template as it gets.

Lack of a heavy-hitter up top could hurt you, maybe you could pick one of Silva or Sane to downgrade, and get in Aguero. Could still work though, Salah captain every week isn't unreasonable for now

4 at the moment. But 0 is as likely as any other number too. Depends on......EVERYTHING! 😀

I’m on 4

Just Ederson currently, will get De Bruyne for GW4

Him and Jota are both in my current drafts.

I expected 5.0 but he does play for a newly promoted team. Is he a set and forget option or rotation with another 4.5?

What you forget about particularly goalkeepers & sometimes defenders is that it's the quality of the team that is more important than the players quality himself.

Difficult question to answer but there's a higher proportion of active players in the first few weeks

This, plus Firmino could miss GW1 after the World Cup. Trust in your rationale.

The only caveat is that Mane and Firmino are not the same player in different positions. I'm not convinced with Mane as an option just yet, but you could be right 🙂

Agreed re: the 7m forwards so A.

Very tricky one. Need the 0.5m to get Tosun over Wood too

Close call, the extra 0.5 swings it for me.

Jota, could play up front. It's the right price for Walcott and I always seem to have him at some point but just don't trust him to be reliable and we don't know about Silva's Everton yet. Sess too risky for at this stage.

Monitor it on pre season but if Jiminez isn't starting then go for Jota since he'll be oop as a striker.

Kompany, Sane and Ramsey all gametime risks. Personally think Lacazette is better pick than Auba as the latter is sometimes played out on the wing.

Fabianski seems like a waste of money if you have Pickford to be honest. And Sanchez just seems like a waste of money. 🙂

Provided Conte remains in charge (keeping Alonso an option) and Bailly looks to be nailed following pre-season, should be good to go

Yes, the structure is fine at least, but too much uncertainty over Alonso and Bailly for the price.

Really dont like Bailly. He seemed to fall out of favor at the end of last season. Dont believe Mou's reasoning at all about giving players who were going to the WC extra playing time.

It looks good. One concern is how often Mahrez will play early in the season. He still needs to adapt to the Pep way, so I can see B Silva for example playing more for the first half. Preseason will tell however. You have the two main players covered imo in Salah and Agüero and defensive studs in Ederson, Coleman and Robertson. A lot of players will be missing early on due to WC, but you don’t have them. Great

I have both.

Don't think they are 'fantastic value', just correctly priced whereas they were overpriced before. Could be worth a go considering fixtures but need to see more of Everton.

52.4%

I’ve gone Robertson, Mane, Firmino instead
