Introduction to the Article Type

With so many RMTs on site, we’re going to start collecting them in these RMT Community Articles.

To start, site regular and moderator Spencer has given us his team, and some explanations of his choices. Feel free to comment on his team.

This is also a place for you to post your team, and please respond to a few others while you’re at it!

Mods have been alerted, and will spend some time on these pages responding.

Let’s try to keep the main article pages free from RMTs!

Spencer’s RMT

Fabianski – Bettinelli

Mendy – Robertson – Luiz – Boly – Tomkins

Salah – Mahrez – Pedro – Deulofeu – Stephens

Aguero – Arnautovic – Zaha

Goalkeepers

  • 9.0 on goalkeepers.  Fabianski with FPL pedigree.  Unsure on Bettinelli, but rotation with Fabianski looks good.
  • First 10 games: CRY – BOU – BUR – WLV – eve – WAT – eve – bha – cda – BOU

Defence

  • Mendy/Robertson/Luiz/Boly/Tomkins
  • Most I’ve spent in defence from the start – I normally play just one big hitter and 4 rotating cheapies.
  • All defenders with potential for attacking points.
  • Mendy a risk worth taking, looked brilliant before his injury.
  • Luiz a risk, so will keep a close eye on the Community Shield.
  • Tomkins looks to be the best 4.5 for me.

Midfielders

  • Got to start with Salah.  Can always downgrade.
  • Mahrez was brilliant at Leicester.  Playing with better players at Man City, I can only see him getting better.  Another one to look out for in the Community Shield.
  • Pedro is a risk, but if he’s nailed he will get attacking points.
  • Watford fixtures look favourable.  Deulofeu looked grerat when on loan from Barcelona last season.
  • Stephens is my 4.5 bench player.

Forwards

  • Aguero is world class.  Possibly some doubts on whether he starts or not.  Keeping an eye on the Community shield.  Will swap to Aubameyang if there are doubts.
  • Arnautovic ended last season in spectacular fashion and this has continued into pre-season.  Made the mistake of not getting him in last time around.
  • Zaha also reclassified as a forward this season.  Does this mean more bonus points?  Doubts over who his strike partner will be at Crystal palace, but I see him returning points regardless. Will need to reconsider if he moves.

1.0 itb to use in an emergency.  eg upgrade Mahrez to Mane, or Deulofeu to Doucoure.

Conclusion

The Key here is flexibility.  Setting price brackets for positions and then finding the right players to fit in.  eg I don’t know if Pedro is the right 6.5 to have, but can easily switch to Jota, Richarlison, or whoever else.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Where have I gone wrong, and where have I gone right? What do you suggest I change?

Remember, post your RMTs below in this article. There will be another new RMT Community Article tomorrow.

    There's a few question marks on players which'll be clarified in the community shield, but other than that, I fully think I've cracked it after over 20 drafts.

    3-5-2 with strong enough bench and £0.5ITB.
    Pickford (Stekelenburg)
    Azpilicueta, Robertson, Mendy (Tomkins, AWB)
    Salah Sanchez Mahrez Richarlison Pedro
    Arnautovic King

    (After GW2: Sanchez + Richarlison/Pedro -> KdB + Ramsey/Mkhi whichever is performing).

        No, however Pep has said today they're likely to go back to a 3-5-2 and I quote "Mendy will be used in lots of different ways".

        Just feel there is so much value at the budget striker level, and it gives me such a silly strong midfield and defence. Planning a reasonably early WC (either international break GW4 or GW8) so should tide me over until then!

    Salah, Sane, Richarlison, Sessegnon
    Auba, Firmino, Zaha

    Wondering about Sessegnon - I can see he is not very popular amongst other teams - why? No PL experience, gonna play more as a full-back than attacking player this season?

            My opinion on the team:

            Take Hamer as the 4.0, could be starting over Lossl. Otamendi too risky, might not play. Ship Bilva and HO who won't play much either. And Zaha might be leaving to keep an eye on that

      Daniels and TAA aren’t nailed for start of season so bit risky in defence

    What do people think? Couple of risks maybe but only thinking couple of GW's for some of them.

    TAA-Baily-Aurier-Luiz (WB)
    Pedro-Mane-Sane-Erikson (hudson)
    Serg-Roberto

    Plan to introduce Auba for serg after 2 gw/aurier for Sokritas poss.

    Cheers.

      No Salah = back to the start. He’ll be too highly captained to not have

        Hes too pricey at 13 for me, would rather combine Mane/Firmino for the season. Can't see him replicating the season and over 50% of people have him so its a make or break situation. Rather balance the team out better

          Id far rather have Salah as a genuine captainable option for 13.0, than Firmino + Mané for 19.0m!

    What's that popular site that people use to see if players will rise or drop? Need to bookmark it for this coming season.

      FFFix is good for 'rate of rise' how fast players are rising or dropping, but not so hot on price change thresholds.
