It's quite secure as long as he is fit.

I might get him I feel he’s definitely starting GW1, great FPL player When he gets a run in the team. Always need a FT on standby with him though

Gray/Deeney will rotate i guess, Mounie has been brilliant preseason, awful fixtures for Huddersfield though

B with david luiz

Final game of the pre-season:

(442) Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes (Charles, 71), Capoue, Pereyra, Sema; Deeney (C), Gray.

Subs | Gomes (GK), Dahlberg (GK), Prödl, Mariappa, Wilmot, Navarro, Femenía, Masina, Success, Charles
Injuries: Deulofeu, Doucouré, Cleverley, Chalobah, Okaka

Because most played 90, I think it's a very good estimation of their GW1 team.

I would also like to know this. Watford seem like the best cheap rotation option for Palace (who most of us have at least one defender from)

A) Boly (goals from set pieces)
B) Cairney

On B, i think it would be better to bench the 4th mid if that's all you can afford

Cairney

he is cheaper and looked more dangerous in pre season

Better prospects up front

A

Have a feeling King might with those fixtures

I would back Zaha

King

A - 9, 2, 5, 2 = ~18
B - 5, 2, 5, 9 = ~18

Just not liking zaha at all, for me he is way to inconsistent (Don't know if this is backed up with stats) but he has always disappointed me when I've had him previously.

Good option if you don't already have King.

I really like him. I've been trying to fit him into my team, but definitely my punt to start the season with - Only issue is his price point, I'd have to reorganize my team to fit him in...

He won't get a CS GW1 anyway 😉

He is top choice and has no competition. His only issue is the birth of his child expected soon.

Bravo is the cup gk

He was on the bench

Wouldn’t surprise me for Pep to start him in midfield GW1

Can’t wait to watch arsenal’s First 2 games to get some answers, and probably more questions.

Mkhi, Ozil & Lacazette interest me from Arsenal, Auba & Ramsey less so

Mkhi may not play RW. Ozil and Auba should be nailed. So it’s between Laca and Mkhi for the third spot. And Laca has really impressed in pre-season.

Yep. Especially when most will wildcard after about v4 weeks anyway

I think you're right. Also about them getting game time. For me it's salah, eriksen and Aubameyang at the moment.

Pretty much - although this season, Liverpool from GW1, City from GW2 & Arsenal from GW3 have nice fixture runs though so we are seeing an overlap between players that offer short term and long term points, quite a good deal imo

Pva

Kane was 12,5 last season. Was he a bad pick?

Thats my dilemma too. Only option for me would be doubling up on Mane and Firmino - but there is the danger that you'll get blown out of the water if Salah performs and is captained.
Easier to start with him and take him out than the other way round

Much of his scoring was down to high quality finishing. Stats only tell part of the picture. When you captain him that's where his value is given his consistency I think

Salah is priced at a 27% premium over Mané, yet scored 51% more points last season. So yes?

No chance. TAA & Clyne look set to rotate heavily imo. Same as the spurs full backs.

GW 1 yes, after that it gets increasingly unlikely beyond occasionally cameos

I think so. Hes my 5th MF - so any use would be a bonus anyway

B) Patricio + PVA

B with Luiz or Bailly

I went for Ryan and David Luiz with the 10 mill I had left

I'm liking Pickford and Lowton for best fixtures..

Not sure at all. Best going with Mane or Sanchez as a placeholder for now

If ManC keep wining without him, maybe GW3/4 as sub?

Hopefully GW2.as soon as he is, it’s bye bye Alexis

Exactly.

Only pep knows

Laporte most risky, then Bavies, why not van djik and Bellerin?

Rudiger over Azpi and maybe PVA or Coleman over Laporte

I would get a united defender. Think they will be very cautious again. Free up a city spot for midfield. Good luck

DDG seems safe Utd pick, but a bit overpriced imo.
Bavies - solid but with these opening fixtures, i would go somewhere else
Mendy - seems fine
Azpi - seems fine
Laporte - dont like the risk, he will play vs Arse, and after that where the good fixures start, he might be benched

Laporte --> Walker.

Thanks for replies

TBH I didn't realise Walker started and played 90 on Sunday.

So think I'll go

DDG, 4m
Mendy, Walker, Robertson, Azpi, Bellerin
Salah, 5m, 5m, 5m, 4.5m
Aguero, Aubam, 4.5m

Pva for the first few games over Laporte imo

I would imagine so

A

Stephens and AWB.
Then use the 0.5 elsewhere or keep it ITB

A

A.

Tomkins has some decent underlying attacking stats but still prefer AWB at 0.5 cheaper. 4.5 mids are all uninspiring

A

zaha

Good GW1 pick, solid chance of a double figure score for GW1, and if you pair him with Bilva you have slots ready for KDB & Pogba

He is, if he still play for Arsenal.

I'd say he could become an option but one to monitor first for me.

Mourinhoitis is the problem for me. I'll punt 5m on Shaw but not invest more in United until I know more about his sanity.

Those fixtures though - Sanchez could explode!

Tempting to avoid?

Easiest swap to KDB possible.. hence why in tempted.. opening game too !

Kane if money no issue, then Aub.
I would pick Aguero over Lukaku, will score more over the season

I will punt him in if he starts tonight

Not sure re this. My concern is the rotation risk and how he fits with Keita in the side.

I think Naby Keita is first choice for that spot.

https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/08/do-liverpool-fans-realise-just-how-good-new-midfielder-naby-keita-will-be/

"Predominantly, as has been the case in pre-season so far, Keita will most likely play as a No. 8 in the 4-3-3, giving him the license to drive forward and link up with the attack."

Rich>Milo>Jota at the start

blind call for Jota

It is also possible to switch Son to Mahrez and then Ederson and Speroni for example to Fabianski & Ryan.
