Introduction to the Article Type

With so many RMTs on site, weโ€™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 youโ€™re at it!

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

Letโ€™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.ย  Fabianski with FPL pedigree.ย  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.ย  Can always downgrade.
  • Mahrez was brilliant at Leicester.ย  Playing with better players at Man City, I can only see him getting better.ย  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.ย  Deulofeu looked grerat when on loan from Barcelona last season.
  • Stephens is my 4.5 bench player.

Forwards

  • Aguero is world class.ย  Possibly some doubts on whether he starts or not.ย  Keeping an eye on the Community shield.ย  Will swap to Aubameyang if there are doubts.
  • Arnautovic ended last season in spectacular fashion and this has continued into pre-season.ย  Made the mistake of not getting him in last time around.
  • Zaha also reclassified as a forward this season.ย  Does this mean more bonus points?ย  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.ย  eg upgrade Mahrez to Mane, or Deulofeu to Doucoure.

Conclusion

The Key here is flexibility.ย  Setting price brackets for positions and then finding the right players to fit in.ย  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?

    RMT please:

    Ryan (Adrian)
    Mendy, Bailly, Robertson (Cedric, Wan-Bissaka)
    Salah, Mahrez, Mkhitaryan, Richarlison (Hudson-Odoi)
    Aubameyang, Zaha, Arnautovic

    Appreciate your comments!

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

      I'm not sold on Mkhi to be honest. If Hudson starts even 1 or 2 games that's a money ball right there! I went for Tomkins over Cedric, more attacking for a better team and he's had a preseason.

    2. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Auba/Aguero, Zaha and Arnie seems to be the template front 3. Im not sold on Zaha, this transfer talk could get to his head, have you considered downgrading him to King to free up 0.5? I have mhki in my side aswell, im debating upgrading him to Ramsey, defence looks good, same as mine bar Cedric - Dunk.

    3. MarkoSD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      odoi risky
      rest is good

  2. Super Frank
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What are you thinking about this team? (0.5 IB)

    Patricio
    Bailly, Luiz, Robertson
    Mane, Eriksen, Silva, Richarlison
    Zaha, Aguero, Firmino

    Norris, Bednarek, Wan-Bissaka, Stephens

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

      Like the Eriksen pick, he's integral to the team and v consistent. I'm not 100% on Bailly tbh and wary of Bednarek.

    2. Big Hippo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No Salah just seems too risky for me.

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah

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

      I like - No Salah > Mo Salah

    5. MarkoSD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It was great untill I realize that there is no salah ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    King & PvA or Arnie & Tarkowski?

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

      What about David Luiz for 5.5? PVA never starts well, he's way to expensive at 5.5!

    2. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm I've got Arnie and King. I'd pick Arnie from the 2 I think he's fixture proof. Prefer Tomkins to Tark though

    3. MarkoSD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      b all day

  4. Marmalade Forest
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Nice to see a 343 with three first choice defenders and not Tompkins/Cedric/WB rotating

  5. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I was keen to avoid Zaha as my third striker because I'm trying to avoid being too template but I'm not sure I can see any alternatives.
    Everton are having a poor preseason, which raises questions around Tosun. Chris Wood looks quite good but Burnley are hardly likely to haul. Josh king has only two goals in preseason, just like Tosun. Already have Arnie. Mitrovic hasn't convinced at PL level, so that leaves me at either Zaha or playing two up front.

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

      I'm going front two with Arnie and Aguero at the moment with 442 for this reason.

      Starting to worry about Arnie now as well with WH trying to buy another 4 forwards.

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

        Potentially Tosun. Think Everton will score a lot to start with,

    2. Marmalade Forest
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      So it’s 352 or 343

      Only time will tell who’ll do better:

      A) Zaha + 4.5 mid OTB or
      B) 4.5 forward OTB + 7.0 mid?
      C) 4.5 forward OTB + 6.5 mid and 0.5itb

      I’ve avoided A. I don’t see him out performing last year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

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

        Do you think Jota will outscore Azpi?

        1. Marmalade Forest
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I’ve given up trying to suggest picking premium defenders

  6. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this group?

    Patricio-Steele
    Mendy-VvD-Coleman-Cedric-4.0
    Salah-Eriksen-Mahrez-Jota-4.5
    Firmino-Tosun-King

    0itb

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

      Great stuff. Don't like Tosun but the rest is hard to fault. Cedric to another 4.5 if possible.

      1. Mr. Funny Name
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I’m not convinced about Tosun either at the minute either so he’s not certain to be there in a week, monitoring the Cedric situation

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

    Here's my team at the moment...

    Ederson / (Stekelenburg)
    Mendy – Bailly – TAA / (Tomkins – WanB)
    Salah – Mane – Mkhi – Pedro / (4.5 Who?)
    Kun – Arnie – Zaha

    1. How's she looking?
    2. Bailly or Luiz
    3. Pedro or Richarlison
    4. Zaha or Tosun

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

      1. 6/10. TAA and Mikhi not nailed
      2. Bailly, but Mina could screw this up
      3. Rich
      4. Zaha, if he stays

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

      1. Voluptuous.
      2. Luiz.
      3. Pedro.
      4. Zaha.

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1. Looks like a lot of the other 343s.
      2. Toss a coin
      3. Toss a coin
      4. Toss a coin

  8. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Draft 6. Thoughts???

    Fabianski
    Mendy Trippier Robertson
    Salah Eriksson Mhky Jota
    Aguero Arnautovic Tosun

    Speroni Bennett Stephens Wan Bissaka

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What were drafts 1-5?

  9. Fnug
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How's this for a team, with 1,5M ITB for an GW2 Firmino --> Aguero (or a 6,5 bandwagon mid move)?

    Fab - McCarthy
    Robertson - Mendy - Bailly - Boly - Tomkins
    Salah - Sane - Jota - Richarlison - Cairney
    Firmino - Arnautovic - Gray

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

      Looks good. Gray could be a good pick, he's got a hatty in him.

      Monitor Bailly.

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

      Looks good. I would go Pedro over Jota and King over Wood but personal choices

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

    Please rate this team as below.
    Would you rate higher with Mane over Mahrez? Means finding .5 m- Mendy to Bailly or Coleman perhaps (and Alisson to Ederson)

    Alisson
    Robertson Mendy D Luiz
    Salah Mahrez Pedro Richarlison
    Aguero Arnautovic King

    Hamer Cairney Cedric Wan-Bissaka

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

      9/10.

      Only issues I see are not being able to get a Pool attacker in if Mane or Firmino go mental. Mendy might not be nailed/fit so monitor and downgrade to PVA if that's the case.

      Love it. Might steal it actually.

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

        Thanks. Actually if Mendy not playing that would allow me to go Ederson over Alisson and free up space for another Liverpool attacker down the line. Ederson PVA and Mane would be option to replace Alisson Mendy and Mahrez.

  11. ponsio22

      double up on Pool defensive blocks 2 of 3 spots, in case you have to get Bobby or Mane beside Salah -> Allison to Lloris, Courtois, Ederson
      Lacazette is not nailed as far as i know and Wilshire ... why Wilshire? Upgrade Lacazette to Auba with money itb and downgrade Wilshire

  15. Fnug
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ATTENTION all Ederson owners: I assume this will be your set and forget defensive City pick, and that you plan on having two offensive City mids/forwards?

    So what do you do if Mendy starts off on flyer, or Stones continues his WC goalscoring form? Would require major surgery to do a City GK --> City def.

    Best regards,
    Previous Ederson owner

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why I’m spaffing 0.5m on Fabianski.

      If I need to bin one or both of Mendy and Ederson off, I can do it over two weeks

    Hi all

    Please RMT

    Forster

    Daniels, Dunk, Coleman

    Mane, Sane, Mkhitaryan, Eriksen

    Aubameyang, Arnautovic, Zaha

    Ryan, Mata, David Luiz, Wan-Bissaka

    Bench Boosting in GW1 then will take value out of the bench to upgrade defence

  19. Gabbiadini

    best 7.5 midfielder?

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

      Not easy.

      Think I would go for 6.5m, and use money elsewhere

  20. The Non Flying Dutchman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Sane a better option than David Silva (given he costs an extra £1m)?

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

      More explosive i guess

  21. hspin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Have I nailed something here?

    Ederson
    VVD - Luiz - Bailly
    Salah - Mahrez - Silva - Pedro - Mkhi
    Firmino - Arnautovic

    Button, Cedric, WB, Kamara

    Plz RMT ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Grimo2
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do you have a plan to get a Kane, Aguero, Auba etc in if they start going crazy?

      Will Pedro & Mahrez be guaranteed full game time?

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

        No plan. I fancy Auba after gw2, but im hoping we learn that auba and laca are both secured starts, then I can swap firm with laca.

        Everyone from City is a rotationrisk IMO. Think ill try and get KDB for Silva/Mahrez around gw4

    Thoughts on this rabble? -

    Fabianski

    Luiz - Mendy - Trippier
    Salah - Gross - Shaqiri - Gudmundsson
    Arnautovic - Vardy - Firmino

    Ryan, Tomkins, Zanka, Neves

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

      Problem here is, Trippier and Vardy probably wont start after the world cup. Shaqiri might just be an impact sub.

      I like the Gross pick, and Luiz is the best defence pick atm imo

      1. LikeItLoveIt

        Good point :/

    1. Karan_G14

    Thoughts guys:-

    Ederson (4.0)
    Luiz Cedric Cook (Wan-B Peltier)
    Salah Eriksen Mkhi Richarlison (Ward)
    Aguero Firmino Arnie

    1. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      think your defence is a bit too risky, without enough reward further up to make it worthwhile.

  27. AubaKedavara™
    • 7 Years

    RMT

    Ederson | 4.0

    Robertson | Mendy | Tomkins | Cédric | Wan-Bissaka

    Salah | Sánchez | Richarlison | Jota | Stephens

    Aubameyang | Arnautovic | Wood

    1. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nice - not convinced by double Palace and double City in defence, but otherwise solid.

  28. Fabio20
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    First RMT:

    Fabianski
    Mendy, Robertson, Luiz
    Salah, Pedro, Richarlison, Schurrle
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Arnautovic

    Hamer, Doherty, Wan-Bissaka, 4.5 mid(?)

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Luiz a card magnet otherwise good

  29. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I have a terrible defense, but on any given Sunday as they say, right?

    GW1

    Foster (Fab)
    Daniels - Wan Bissaka - Klavan (Cedric - Peltier)
    Salah c - Sterling - Mahrez - Odoi - (Stephens)
    Aguero - Firmino - Arnie

    Not at all sure about Klavan but he might play GW1 or I downgrade Fab/Foster to have a 5.0 defender that plays.

    Thoughts? Too crazy? Thanks!

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

      I don't think the front 7 is worth having that bad of a defense.

    2. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would go for 4.5/4 in goal, and upgrade in defence - as well as downgrading Sterling to upgrade Stephens (and bench CHO)

  30. Ostrich Baby
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How's this?

    Leno

    Shaw Robertson Luiz

    Salah Eriksen Jota Mahrez Sanchez

    Arnautovic Mitrovic

    bench: crap.

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

      Shaw/Luiz a bit risky to have a crap bench no? Not a fan of this team tbh.

      1. Ostrich Baby
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        defence on bench is AWB and Peltier - both of whom should play. But I agree there's a risk - my other defence I'm toying with is:

        Patricio

        Mendy Robertson Cedric

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Sanchez to 4.5, upgrade Mitrovic to Kun/Auba?

        I really want Hazard or De Bruyne for the 10/10.5 mid spot, so just giving it a week or two until I know if they're playing

      I am wary of not having a out and out striker, Arnie has a tough start to the season matchups wise but is a bargain.

      I think Mahrez could go either way, I am still not sure how he will fit in with a already stacked and lethal city midfield

        thanks - yeah, Arnie and Mitro are the focal points for their team - that's what I look for in a player - will they be their team's main output? Same logic behind all of the midfield - bar Mahrez, as you say. He's a risk, but I'm banking on him playing more games than not.
