A

Just did my first draft in a week without KDB and probably happier without him just to get more balance. Might need some time to find his real form again, at least that's what I am hoping now.

Yes. Probably. TAA will probably score similar to last season which will be tremendous return.

Yes

Good team. Pretty close to mine. And similar thinking that going strong at the back and waiting for budget gems to emerge.

Sure about Murray getting regular gametime? Other than that, it looks set.

I’d have Ings ahead of Murray personally.

Neat gamble on the double ups on Bournemouth and Everton. Neither especially convince me but they could be gold. I’m just not sure fixture runs are compelling for midranked sides and particularly at this time of year. Very easy to get pushed into a WC imo

B easily

yeah i think so too,but later if kane and kdb back in their best form maybe i'll change to them

B

Not sure about the balance of funds in midfield but this looks good to me as a starting point for the season.

The auto selection of Sterling around here seems a bit odd to me.

I’d also consider Auba over Kane in the first two weeks.

I like Deulofeu

Deulofeu
Wood

Depends. If you've got Salah and Sterling, you really can't afford a 10m+ striker; hence Vardy is the next best thing.

Depends on definition of essential - by the time GW38 rolls around You could easily go back & pick a team to finish OR #1 that wouldn’t have him in it

But his record since Puel was sacked suggests he’s been a man on a mission ever since

No

But he’s very tasty as the fixtures should suit him with defences not set up to smother. But the fixtures are still tough and Kane and the forgotten Auba could well outdo him

He could trigger a number of early WCs if he hits with lots of teams being unable to reach him with no premium spot.

He’s tricky as with all those mids he’ll be very hard to cover by getting in his regular assistant,

Yeah. Guaranteed 5m+ ranking without him.

It's him or Kane for me

Absolutely not

A

One of the defs to a 4.5, A.Smith?

Playing 4.5 def

What is that front line? no recognised striker. Need at least one

This is really difficult. Part of me says A but C if you only have Salah for captain

same can be said for Zouma

Was out on loan I guess.

Here’s hoping he gets sent out again. A really tasty FPL asset imo if he’s at a midranked side where he’d be tied on. Much trickier at Chelsea

Played well last night by all accounts. Ok- by one account. There was just the one.

Surely Rondon is a natural fit. Any talk of that?

Think you should get either Jimenez or Jota instead of King.
who are your subs

for some reason not a fan of City defense double up.
would do Laporte > Azpi, Milli > 6.5 mid and then upgrade Mane to Salah

I think starting with laca is a big risk. He is not nailed. Vardy will be a better choice until we know where Emery is at.
I feel midfield is too weak

1. Gunn apparently
2.3. not a fan of 3 strikers, would downgrade DCL and upgrade a midfielder.

Prefer B myself.

Not sure what Chilwell adds. The Leicester defence doesn’t feel good with that fixture run. The only short term Leicester for me would be Vardy as he’s the one who thrives against top 6. Whichever way the midfield falls it’s really hard to pick one who’ll excel.

If you’re unsure about Vardy and prepared to go 4.5 at the back you could reshuffle a bit to get KdB ahead of Siggy.

Prefer a, but agree I'm not a fan of chilwell,. Also maybe DCL instead of Deu?

Would allow for a city defender

I also find it difficult. But with so much value in 6-6.5 for forwards, I find it be a good bet to go with A to have more funds to spend other places in your team. And you could easily change Deulo to someone else if he doesn’t deliver.

Laporte will be save and Ederson too

So you're saying we should log off, chill out and enjoy the summer?

Keeper almost freudien slip?
Kelly nailed?
Zaha unsettled?
Maddi rotation?
Jota Euros

4 players too much for GW1
