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.

    Gone for a 352 RMT Please

    Ryan (Button)

    Robertson Doherty Dunk Schindler Wan-B

    Salah DeBruyne Eriksen Jota Richarlison

    Aubameyang Arnautovic Quaner

    1. The UnderAcheivers

      Midfield and strikers look good. Though defence looks a bit leaky

    2. FC Barkerlona
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go Auba > Firminio and upgrade a couple of defenders

  2. Queen2

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hi, please rmt;
    Planning a gw4 wc

    Pickford ( Stekelenburg )

    Bailly Mendy Cedric Tomkins Ward

    Salah Cairney Lamela Sane Richarl.

    Quaner Firmino Aguero
    Thanx!

    1. Queen2
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No one?
      Would really apriciate some opinions =)

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad team, although if that is the crystal palace Ward I don't think he will start. Watch out for Bailly. Lamela may not be nailed as he is competing with Moura.

      1. Queen2
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry, its Ward in Burnley.
        Ill consider to swap Lamela...
        Want Man U defender. Downgrade bailly and go for De Gea maybe?

        Thanx for your opinion!

    3. Cedric Daniels
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Bit risky. Doubts over Lamela, Cedric and Ward.
      Don't like Cairney.

      Maybe try
      Ward - wan bissaka
      Lamela - Pedro

      1. Queen2
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Okey.
        I would really like a Burnley defender due to easy fixtures before the national break.
        Tarkowski,
        Mee or
        Lowton instead?

  3. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Since we are all over here for RMTs and it seems countless dont agree with it, why dont we just splinter off?

    Secession.

    Any good films to watch tonight as my missus is out for the count?

  4. Brev
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Any help with this one appreciated, much changed as the weeks go on..

    Ederson | Speroni

    Bellerin | Van Dijk | Bednarek | Digne | WanBis

    Sane | Salah | Ozil | Richarlison | Kenedy

    Arnau | Tosun | Firmino

    Originally had a 4.5 in place of Tosun/Arnau with the idea of using the money for an upgrade to someone, either Firmino to Auba/Luk or Ozil to Hazard/De Bruyne but might just bring them in with an early wildcard around game 5. Thoughts? Intention is to play 3/4/3 or 3/5/2 depending on fixtures.

    1. MartinWilsdon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn’t go for Digne unless Baines moves on and I wouldn’t touch Özil

      1. Brev
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Changed completely again (likely to happen a lot between now and Friday)

        De Gea | Speroni

        Bellerin | Van Dijk | Mendy* | Bednarek | WanBiss

        Sane | Salah | Lamela | Richarlison | Cairney

        Arnau | King | Firmino

        Mendy* if he plays today will stay, if not I'll switch him
        Lamela there until World Cup players return
        Thoughts? Improvement on the above?

        1. Brev
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Also, tempted to switch out Firmino as unsure if he'll start first few games due to WC. Looking at Morata based on today, could also put Luiz in if he starts,

  5. RedLightning
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Bettinelli probably won't start. Fabri should be first choice.

  6. Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hey Spencer, nice team, looks like Fabri is the Fulham keeper now though. I’d also be a bit worried about Deulofeu’s fitness, got injured last season and doesn’t seem to have played much in pre-season.

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks Gregor. Especially the info about Fabri - I had no idea!

  7. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    If anyone care to share their opinion, that would be great 🙂

    Ederson - 4.0
    Robertson - Bailly(?) - Jagielka* - Tarkowski - AWB
    Salah - Mane - Pedro - Richarlison - Cairney
    Kun - Arnie - Zaha

    Will monitor Pedro and get rid of Jagielka if they get a new CB.

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Burnley going further in Europa qualifying might be an issue for Tarkowski. I do like the rest though.

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but thought that full backs might get rotated more. Was considering dumping him for Keane and getting rid of Jags.

        1. Spencer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Just wondering if the whole team will suffer with the extra games, not just the personnel.

          Getting rid of Jagielka is a good idea imo.

    2. Bulldogs FC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lots of better options at 4.5 than Jagielka.
      I would get rid of Bailly as well and avoid Utd atm.

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Who do you recommend? Might get rid of Speroni for a fodder, then I could get Tomkins..

    3. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Too much uncertainty defensively. You could have 1 playing defender once players return from WC, Europa League games and then will WB and Jags play?

      Salah and Mané double up leaves you with just 2 captain options: Salah & Agüero.

      Arnie bad fixtures too, so not my favoured but definitely understandable pick.

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        WB is a 4.0 fodder anyway, agree with the Jagielka part. Arnie is fixture-proof imo. Thanks

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          WB is the same for me, although he could definitely be called into action for you if Tark rested and Jags dropped. Probably better to pick nailed consistent starters if you submit to a fodder.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nice

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very nice!

    6. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry but apart from Robertson I think your whole defence is a risk

  8. El Cube
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Cedric vs Duffy (Who should I bench?)
    &
    Thought on my Set & Forget team?

    Ederson
    Bellerin / Lovren / Cedric
    Sanchez (VC) / DeBruyne / Eriksen / Cairney
    Aubameyang (C) / Firmino / Arnautovic

    Bench : Boruc / Chalobah / Duffy / Wan-Bissaka

    Cheers

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      For the whole season? If that's what you mean by "set and forget", I think Hazard will outscore Sanchez. I think Sane will as well actually, and maybe Mahrez. I would boost the bench also if you are not going to do any transfers.

      1. El Cube
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, It is for the entire season,where I am not allowed to make any transfer and change my starting 11. I join a league with that rule.

        Thanks for the tips. I will think about bringing Hazard in for Sanchez and downgrading KDB to Mahrez/Sane.

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Cool. I think KDB is a great pick for that format though, but you do need a strong bench (including a playing GK) as there will be times where 3 players are injured, suspended or dropped.

  9. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ahh go on then - not done one for a while - currently on:

    Patricio (Button)
    Robertson Mendy Shaw (Wan-B Peltier)
    Salah Mane Ozil Pedro (Costa)
    Auba Arnie Austin

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No City attacking assets? Brave!

      Austin is a cheeky shout, will he produce good returns? No tadic now of course.

      Otherwise, like it 😉

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        cheers - yeah I had Mahrez and Sane this whole time but I'm really unsure of gametime - I can easily see Ozil becoming one of them by next week though - not sure I need to start with 2 Arsenal attackers

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I’d say 1 Arsenal attack is more than sufficient. You could easily go without.

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Did you forget how many goals City scored last year?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Will KDB start the season?

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very nice I like the Ozil pick but Austin isn’t 1st choice striker anymore I think gab is

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        cool, I'll keep an eye out - Wood/Mitro decent alternatives

    4. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think Ozil may have a strong season without internationals, but he is not a big game player. So for the first two matches I don't think he will return. From gw3 I want him too.

      Otherwise there is a risk of you playing 10 men occassionaly with that defense, but I am sure you are aware of it and consider it worth the risk to get those 7 attackers.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        cheers - yeah I may start with Bilva/Dilva/maybe Mahrez instead of Ozil. Yeah I'm fairly set on Robertson and Mendy, Shaw would be transferred out as soon as he gets his first benching (but I'm hoping he gets a proper chance this time). I have faith in Wanny-B off the bench 😀

    5. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good team. Depends on whether Mendy gets to start GW1 or not. Not too keen on Ozil. Saw him play live last week against PSG and despite his goal, he was more like trying to assist the assister during the time he was on the pitch.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        yeah, he assisted the assister against Chelsea too - I'll keep an eye on Mendy and maybe/probably start with a City mid instead of Ozil and reassess GW3/4 - cheers

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      GW 1 starters worse case

      Patricio
      Robertson Mendy
      Salah Mane Costa
      Auba Arnie

      Just 8 😉

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        woahh, surely not 😉 I'll keep an eye on the dodgy ones for clues next week

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson | Button
    Robertson | Bailly | Tomkins | Cedric | WB
    Salah | Mahrez | Richarlison | Cairney/Hughes | Gunnarsson
    Aguero | Firmino | Arnautovic

    0.5 ITB, Dont like that 4th mid option..Fit Deu would be perfect. Also can make Cedric>Peltier but what can I do with that 1 mil as no good mids up to 6.0mil.

    1. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Similar to mine.

      Mahrez->Silva to save 0.5m
      Get Jota for 6.5m

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks but Silva will be a masive rotation as he is old and even Pep said he will play less and Mahrez will be one of the best players imo

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          "He is old" hahahahahaha
          How much did he age since the world cup?

          I know the interview says he's winding down but that should still mean 25 games, didn't he sign another year contract after all?

  11. Carcetti
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Really like it! Especially with 1m in the bank.

  12. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which 6.5 fwd:

    A) King
    B) Wood

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wood went off injured yesterday with a "tight hip". I think he was a fantastic pick but can't be arsed now with all his injuries.

      King.

  13. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    we currently have one player the same so i reckon you're in good shape

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks Rhinos! I need to get more maverick with my choices, but probably later on in the season. Safe and steady for now.

  14. RiskyBusiness
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Taken a few risks, just wanted to get an idea whether it was a risk too many or not?

    Ryan Steele
    Rudiger Walker Shaw Diop Wan-Bissaka
    Sanchez Mane Ozil Neves CHO
    Aguero Firmino Arnie

    Is Neves the best 5.0?
    Surely CHO is worth the risk at that price but not seen him in any teams?
    Is there a cheaper way into citys defence thats nailed every week?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If hazard is still resting going into the start of the season he will be all over my team it’s a great shout. I’d say avoid West Ham defence as a fan as there is no nailed back line we aren’t sure who our best CBs are. Rice will probably play CDM tho at 4.5 is the best option. Love the midfield and Mané could even match Salah if he has pens.

      1. RiskyBusiness
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the reply, even if CHO is for a couple of weeks people will jump on the bndwagon anyway.
        Any ideas on who to get at 4.5 instead of Diop? Already got Brighton and Palace defenders. Didnt west ham pay quite a bit for Diop?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah 20m but he has looked dodgy pre season and balbuena more impressive. Wolves look like building a solid defence i’ve Gone Boly

          1. RiskyBusiness
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah didnt really like wolves or west hams fixtures tbh, ill go boly thanks

  15. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hows this looking?

    Ederson (4.0)
    Coleman - TAA - Luiz (Doherty, WanB)
    Salah - Eriksen - Pedro - Costa (Gunnarsson)
    Aguero - Firmino - Tosun

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Great except Tosun. Any other 7m attacker will be better Everton will collapse under silva

      1. fantasticmrross
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Everton have such a good start to the season though. I might stick with Tosun to start and then stick in Arnie once West Ham's fixtures ease up

  16. Son of Alex
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson | Begovic
    VVD | Luiz | Shaw | Cedric | AWB
    Salah | Mkhi | Mahrez | Schurrle | Richarlison
    Firmino | Arnautovic | Zaha

    1. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Benching issues.

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I like the defense a lot. Ederson, VVD will get you a lot of points. Shaw and Luiz as well if they play - but maybe I'd consider going up to a nailed 6.0 and a 4,5 for security of starts, someone like Davinson Sanchez or Robertson (although you'd have to replace Firmino).

      Mkhi, will he play? I am playing Arsenal on Football manager and I just can't fit him and Ozil into the team at the same time. Emery may be a better manager than me though, I'll grant him that...

      I like Mahrez a lot, and Richarlison may get a good start to the season now that he's had his rest. Its summer too which should suit him better.

      1. Son of Alex
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mkhi and luiz are a risk. May go for other options come GW1

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          You can have some risks though with that bench. I'm just thinking that the defense could do with one more nailed defender.

          1. Son of Alex
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Might Shift to Tomkins/Robertson(or Mendy) in place of Luiz/Shaw

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      GW1 starting 11 issues

  17. Scottc88
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford
    Cedric Daniels Tomkins
    Jota salah mane Sanchez
    Austin aguero tosun

    Cairney Wan-Bis Peltier

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      With clean sheets more common at the start, is it wise to go so cheap in the defender dept? As a toffee I would steer clear of Everton defense, no matter what the fixtures.
      Sanchez could get moved out wide. 10.5 is costly considering the multiple point benefits of a better defense.

  18. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is Betinelli nailed?

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gregor tells me its Fabri who's the keeper now.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Tnks

  19. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson 4.0
    Coleman Bailly Mee (Daniels AWB)
    Salah Sane Richarlison Mkhi (Stephens)
    Aguero Firmino (Quaner)

    How's she looking?

      Oh wait. Costa, not Stephens.

    how is this for a team with salah and kane? obviously week bench and means i have to start one of kamara/kenedy every week

    foster 4.0
    robertson luiz tomkins wan-bissaka peltier
    salah mane sane jota kenedy
    kane arnie kamara

    cheers

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years

      Maybe Hughes or Cairney instead of Kenedy. Don't see Newcastle scoring lots of goals.

      1. kinghenry14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        yeah cairney is my second choice after kenedy but although he has tough i think he plays more offensive than cairney and will be vital to newcastle attack

        1. kinghenry14
          • 9 Years

          tough fixtures*

      Good for a S&K team tbf but not for me.

  21. foreverton

    How can I make room for a good 4.5/5.0 defender to rotate from the bench?

    Heaton [4.0]

    R.Pereira, Mendy, Trippier [4.0, 4.0]

    Salah, Richarlison, Sessegnon, Gross, Jota

    Auba, Aguero [4.5]

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade Sessegnon to a 6m like Pereyra for e.g.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sessegnon to Schurrle? Trippier looks doubtful for GW1 so could make a change there instead.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very nice team - I'd downgrade Trippier or Heaton and upgrade one of the 4.0s personally, but that's just personal preference.

    4. kinghenry14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      will trippier play gw1?

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Most likely no

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A few risks there but quite interesting, like it! Lack of a bench a worry. Is Heaton fit?

    6. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would downgrade Trippier and upgrade a 4.0

  22. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    OK then, first post of my team in the new RMT sections!
    Cityless for now but monitoring Mendy and waiting for KDB.
    Thoughts most welcome:

    Patricio
    Robertson/Azpi/PVA
    Mane/Eriksen/Sanchez/Richarlison
    Auba/Arnie/Josh
    (Stek, Odoi, Kasabele, WB)

    1. kinghenry14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      sane+1.0 will be better than sanchez in my opinion
      otherwise good

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, Sanchez is a placeholder for KDB, not sold on Sane myself.

    2. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty nice, would personally downgrade PVA and upgrade Patrico but that's just my point of view..

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, have considered downgrading him alright but prefer to go cheap as chips on GKs

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How much ITB?
      i am just thinking if Salah does what Salah does, and get any close to last years start of the season output + %50.8 ownership and perhaps 75% - 90% captain him you might start chasing your tail from the start. I know it sucks 13 million for on guy but IMO this guy is worth it. Don't get me wrong of cause going Salahless can work and the possibility of finder different captains every week with returns is possible, but mathematically speaking its saver to start with him and if he doesn't do as good then a downgrade is an easy solution but an upgrade is a lot harder as you know. Good luck for the season my friend.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate and Im very undecided on this atm. Thinking Auba + Mane or Austin + Salah (plus some spare cash)

  23. RomeluStormzy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What about this team?

    Foster (Fabs)
    Robertson Luiz Shaw Sakho (Bamba)
    Salah Mane Mahrez Richarlison (Stephens)
    Aguero Arnie (Quaner)

    Any suggestions?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty decent XI but perhaps Chalobah or Odoi punt as first sub over Stephens

      1. RomeluStormzy
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, do you think Quaner is best forward sub?

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          No, he will play very little this season I reckon. Little choice really, Kamara seems best imo.

  24. NeverGunOwen
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How is this?

    Fabianski, Foster

    Alexander-Arnold, Shaw, Tomkins, Daniels, Peltier

    Salah, Sane, Richarlison, Pedro, Stephens

    Aguero, Firmino, Zaha

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keepers good
      Don't like defenders AA Shaw Petier rotation. Daniels good for 3 weeks only.
      Pep not happy with Sane fitness. Pedro duck or no dinner.
      Kun will he play? Firmino will he play? Zaha maybe moving.
      Too many doubts.

      1. NeverGunOwen
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I usually play my wildcard after the 1st Int'l break. So this team is for the first 4 weeks only.. Might change Sane tho. Thanks

  25. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fabri/Fabianski (Fabri a risk but great rotation)
    Bailly Robertson Luiz (Bednarek Wan Bisaka) Not sure of the 2 benchers starting but the expensive backline is reliable I think.
    Mane Salah Bilva Pereira Cairney (Gamble on Bilva but I think OK for 2 weeks)
    Zaha Arnie Auba (Zaha might move) (Auba and Arnie might play wide)

    I am talking myself out of the team already!

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I love that goalkeeping combo! 😉

      Maybe downgrade Cairney to a 4.5 so you can upgrade Bednarek to a 4.5 defender. I'm guessing Cairney will be on your bench most weeks anyway?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Just concerned early on that I will need a good midfield sub. Thinking of dumping Perriera. You motivated the goalie choices!

        1. Spencer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I do like the Perriera choice tho. Watford have lovely fixtures.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Had Pereyra in my team for ages and still kindda want him but think I prefer going King/Austin over him now in a front three as the 4.5 forwards look garbage

            1. jia you
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              In your team though he looks a very viable option KK

            2. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I have been going back and forth with Austin. I can also upgrade a defender if I move out Zaha

  26. fantasticmrross
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Here's mine so far:
    Ederson (Boruc)
    Robertson, Mendy, Davinson Sanchez, (Wan-Bissaka, Peltier)
    Cairney, Salah, Richarlison, Sanchez, (Masuaku)
    Zaha, Auba, Tosun

    I'm thinking of going down to a 5.5 defender in exchange for Davison Sanchez and swapping in Ryan/Fabianksi for Boruc. Not too keen on not having a GK to rotate in if needed.
    Aside from that any other thoughts?

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Think tosun with Richarlison is too many eggs in the Everton basket considering their pre season form. Also, don't like no city attacking coverage, think two of their spots in defence is a waste. Personally would avoid spurs players at the start.

  27. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Current draft below. Would love some thoughts please:

    Foster, Hamer
    Robertson, Mendy, Bertrand, AWB, Peltier
    Salah, Mane, Mahrez, Richarlison, Chalobah
    Aguero, King, Austin

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dont really like the Bertrand pick but looks very good if Austin and Mendy are starters.

      1. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah bit of a worry with those two. I had Cedric but sounds like he's not back for GW1.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nice if King and Austin find their old form. Like the Bertrand pick, considering also but dont seems to be popular choice.

      1. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I think he could be very good with saints fixtures and some set piece duties. Also, no Cedric for GW1 so he's not a runner for a strong route into the defence at 4.5.

  28. TAT
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    (5.0) - Button
    Robertson - (4.5) - Peltier - Azpilicueta - Tomkins
    Salah - Sessegnon - Jota - Sané - (Milivojevic/Jahanbakhsh/Pedro)
    Aubameyang - Quaner - Arnautovic
    (1.0 itb)

    Need some opinions on which players to consider for the spots marked with brackets. Thoughts? 🙂

  29. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think?
    Ederson (Boruc)
    Bailly Davies VVD (Tomkins Wan-Bissaka)
    Salah Mane Mata Jota Richarlison
    Aguero Arnie (Kamara)

    1. RomeluStormzy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Unsure on Mata now that Lukaku and Rashford are back,

      1. Langley van Gaal
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I reckon Mata is safe for a couple of starts until Rashford is fit

  30. JBG
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ederson

    Daniels
    Bailly
    Robertson

    Salah
    Sánchez
    Pedro
    Bernardo Silva
    Jorginho

    Zaha
    Agüero

    Bench: Boruc, Kamara, Lowton, Wan-Bissaka

    Thoughts on my team? Have 0.5 left in the bank.

    1. Langley van Gaal
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      ditch Daniels. Upgrade Jorginho to a 5.5?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        The plan is to ditch Daniels after the first few weeks.

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That's why I have Lowton on my bench. (Couldn't edit my first post).
