    I find that the front 8 are easier to chose than the back 7...

    A pva and Coleman
    B Tompkins and walker

    ?

    1. kingofthenorth
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A for now, surely Walker will be rested for the first few GWs given his involvement at the WC?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Mendy then?

    2. child of God
      • 7 Years

      That makes two of us. B

      1. child of God

        Ah forgot about walker's wc

    3. Snikii

      neither.

      1. Snikii
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        easy B with Mendy if he is nailed

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Is he nailed?

      A

      PVA and Bailly or Luiz for me. Coleman a third choice.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Luis a good shout
        Nailed?

          We don't know yet. Watch the Community Shield! Hopefully he will be

          Yes...

      • 15 Years

      B

    6. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm the opposite.

      Mendy, Robertson and cheapest Chelsea defender (who we'll discover tomorrow) stand out above the rest, then you can get Davies if you want 4 atb, and fill the bench with 4.0s.

      Tomkins the only defender I'd consider from that list, but with AWB available there's not too much need for him

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I chose to go with Allison over ederson (save points) so I'm struggling with a defender instead of Robertson
        Mendy probably best but is he nailed? Maybe baily?

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Personally think Allison is a big waste of a Pool spot.

          Robertson, VVD and the three forwards offer so much

  2. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will Sanchez start as striker?
    Please help

    1. Snikii
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Probably, tomorrow we will know more

  3. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea v City will answer a lot of questions tomorrow hopefully!

    1. Snikii
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It answers all the questions. Mharez or Sane, Aguero or Auba , Mendy or Ederson, Luiz,Pedro,Odoi nailed?

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        But yea, this haha!

      2. DantheManinaPan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not sure it'll answer Aguero VS Auba.

        Even if Jesus starts

      Failed reply

  4. stat
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A) Richarlison, Mitrovic, Wilson
      B) Fraser, King, Tosun

      1. kingofthenorth
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        A - not sure on Wilson but Rich and Mit are stronger picks than two Bournemouth

        1. stat
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers

        2. Rotation's Alter Ego

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          A looks good but I don't know how heavily rotated Wilson will be. Minefield last season iirc.

          Tempted by B. Not sure about Tosun though.

          Sorry I'm not much help 😆

          1. stat
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Last season King was also rotated a couple of times. I agree that Wilson isn't ideal though... hopefully KDB starts tomorrow so I can do Sanchez -> KDB and Wilson -> King.

          2. Bielsa's Bucket
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            No way you can squeeze King into A expense of Wilson?

            1. stat
                7 years, 7 months ago

                It would mean downgrading Sanchez -> KDB, or Mane/Eriksen -> Mahrez
                Sanchez -> KDB makes sense if KDB starts tomorrow, otherwise it's risky

                        Ahh - already on the old 4.5 + 4

                A but try to upgrade Wilson to king

                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    If KDB starts tomorrow I'll do Sanchez -> KDB, otherwise I'm stumped

                    1. HamezMace
                      • 11 Years
                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Pep already confirmed KDB won’t return to training until Monday.

                          Thanks. Wilson it is then

                  Nelson start for Arsenal ? Done very well in the preseason campaign !

                    Expect to see him play in EL, and a few PL games, depending on injuries, etc. Looks like a good talent, though.

                    not worth it, with so many early season captainers, every goal Salah scores will add about 8 points to the average team

                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  A lot of people seem to be switching from Robertson to van Dijk. Has Klopp said something? I went VVD last season due to nailedness and goal threat but Robbo was never rotated and got more attacking returns. Moreno scored a goal and all of a sudden Robertson is going to be rotated? Not sure about that.

                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Robbo is the one.

                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    I really hope so. Should give nice advantage to us Robbo owners 😉

                    I am sticking with robbo. He won’t get rotated as much as people think

                        Won't matter if he outscores him the way he did last season.

                  I’m playing my BB in gw1, there will never be a better chance of picking 15 starters 🙂

                    Not even after wildcard?!? Tell me more about the reasoning behind that comment. Sarcasm? Just joking? Trying to make someone seriously to consider that?!?

                    me too, i currently have Lindegaard, Hudson Odoi, Bernardo (brighton), Wan Bissaka as my Benchies , but that could change of course depending on team news 🙂

                    Jonny - Boly - Saiss - x - Doherty

                    X is prob Bennett or maybe Coady. I am not a Wolves fan but I have seen that backline prediction over here. Pls free feel to correct

                      Well, today it was a back 3 of Saiss Coady Boly, but Saiss was rubbish, apparently, and got subbed for Bennett at HT, after which they looked a bit more stable. Wolves fans on twitter were scathing about Saiss playing in that position, and also want Jonny on the right, becuase that's his stronger foot. In short, it was a good day for Bennett-hopefuls - according to the internet, anyway.

                  Who is it that *could* usurp AWB in the RB spot? I'm thinking of also picking Kelly at 4.0 to cover the risk, but don't know whether Ward at 4.5 is the one I should be worried about.

                  Arsenal top-scorers in pre-season:

                  Lacazette 4
                  Aubameyang 4
                  Nelson 2
                  Nketiah 2
                  Mkhitaryan 1
                  Reine-Adelaide 1
                  Smith Rowe 1
                  Özil 1
                  Holding 1

                  Of course there is a small chance lacazette gets benched but arsenal seem to be playing a system now which incorporates both laca and auba.

                  Laca doesn't really seem too bad at all. It's a risk I suppose but are we judging laca minutes under wenger and not looking at the present?

                    Auba is nailed as he can play up front or left wing. Laca can only play up front.

                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Yes, but why would Emery change formation if this is the best and results are good?

                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Laca only scored 3 less league goals than Lukaku last season and he played a lot less minutes

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    There are also those two first fixtures, but true, he might be a very good pick.

                    Defiantly one to watch. Just those first two fixtures are horrible

                    You need Lacauba together, otherwise it doesn't work

                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Doing that means very early knowing not to be the Last Man Standing.

                      The recent lineups indicate he’s not a guaranteed starter at all and he’s too expensive to be on the bench a fair bit for me

                    I take it all players signed before deadline on Thu 5 pm will be able to play gw 1 - ie there is no separate earlier deadline?

                      Are you going with all three? I currently have Peltier, Wan Bissaka and Cedric...

                        Certainly thinking about it yeah. I feel like an early wildcard is looking likely so doesn't feel too risky. You also can't beat a 6 pointer from a 4.0 defender. I'm currently on this:

                        Ederson
                        VVD, Bailly, 3x4.0

                        The extra 0.5 allows me to have both KDB & Hazard.

                          (Not starting with KDB & Hazard)

                            What's your full team look like if you don't mind me asking?

                            And how do you plan to get KBD and EH into the team?

                              Ederson,
                              VVD, Bailly, 3x4.0
                              Mili, Salah, Mane, Sanchez, Richa
                              Laca, King, 4.5

                              0.5itb

                              GW2: Sanchez > KDB
                              GW3: Mane > Hazard

                              That's the plan anyway.

                          I have wildcarded early for 4 years in a row if I remember correctly. Has worked decently, so could do that again and start with Robertson, Mendy and 3x4.0 as well

                          That's not a bad strategy, but unless you don't have Salah, I don't see how that helps your team. You may be able to bump a 5.5m mid to a 7.5m mid or whatever, but there's nothing there right now. It may be useful come GW4-GW5 but how can you even guarantee a 6 pointer from anyone besides AWB.

                    When Robertson gets rotated, Moreno will be playing. Therefore Liverpool will inevitably concede due to his ineptitude and therefore you'll only miss out on two points, which are more than made up for by the attacking returns Robbo gets over VVD during the season.

                    /argument

                      Surely VVD will get more luck in front of goal than last year. He had lots of opportunities, but failed to covert

                        • 10 Years
                        7 years, 7 months ago

                        You say luck, but really all of those opportunities had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with his own finishing ability.

                        If he's worked on that, then possibly he'll score more headers than last season... but I doubt luck will come into it 🙂

                        I’m also on VVD, following the same ‘due’ fallacy!

                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      I agree. If Robertson produces what he did in the second half of last season he'll still outscore VVD even if he misses the odd game.

                      When vvd scores a header that Moreno crossed, you will speak differently

                        Daniel Sturridge and Jack Wilshere remaining injury free for the season is more likely than that, my friend.

                        I believe VvD will score, but so will Robbo and assist even more.

                    Best 4.5 mid for the bench? Or is it better to spend an extra 0.5 on Cairney?

                      Looking forward to replies here. I have Obiang, but I’m not convinced

                      I like Cardiff's Gunnarsson, even though I don't like Cardiff at all. He takes their long throws so may chip in with an assist or two.

                      Prefer him to the others just because I know I won't be crying out for three Cardiff spots during the season.

                        I had him but he wasn't even on the bench today. Now on Schneiderlin.

                      Masuaku would of been an ideal OOP 4.5 - but he is playing in defence. Can always select him knowing he'll get you 2-3 points has fodder?

                      I'm thinking Stephens or Billing.

                    > Lacazette

                    Like the idea of him. No Europe, good cpl mths of fixtures to start.
                    But, seems so much safer to have Bobby Firmino for that price.
                    Maybe we buy both?

                        Arsenal have the Europa league in which Lacazette will be the striker that plays, especially the group stage rounds. Recent lineups indicate to me that Lacazette is far from a guaranteed starter.

                      Managers, thoughts on this team.

                      Foster/Fabs
                      Mendy, Robertson, Digne, (Wan-Bissaka/Connolly)
                      D Silva, Salah, Willian, Richarlison, (Ralls)
                      King, Aguero, Zaha

                      1m ITB

                      Is Foster nailed?
                      Digne in his last season at Roma had 3 goals 3 assist over 32 games - so a threat there. Could switch him to Luiz/Coleman.

                      Under a week to go and only 2.3 million players registered. Weird. A lot of people possibly put off by the fact that they've changed the rules regarding the weekly prize?

                        Oh no wait, the rules state you have to have your team made two weeks prior to be eligible. My previous point is redundant. Ignore that but still, why so few?

                      £5m for a Chelsea mid who has great stats, will surely be secured a start and has Kanté so he can get forward...

                        Great player, poor FPL prospect. Plays too deep. Will probably assist the assister.

                          Only 4, but I fancy him to be further forward in Sarri’s Chelsea plus bonus magnet. I’d rather him than a promoted team player given the stats for championship teams

                        He plays deeper than kante

                        He looks like he is playing deeper than kante from what i have seen of pre season

                        Kante a better pick imo although its too early to tell really.

                      Does my memory deceive me or was Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.5m, midfielder) fairly decent from an attacking sense for Watford prior to his season-ending injury last year? Lots of assisting the assister and getting into decent positions, I seem to remember.

                        7 years, 7 months ago

                        He was. Very solid for a 4.5. But that was under the attacking Marco Silva. It may be a different story here.

                        You remember correctly
                        The best of the 4.5's if he plays regularly
