Bournemouth attack appeals but defence remains suspect

He's cheap.

Apparently he had a bad game today. I took him out of my team, but his previous scoring record even for Ukraine is amazing. Could also fill in for the departing forward.

Hes 1m underpriced compared to similar options. Attacking mid/winger from a mid table side.

Try saying his name in a west country accent.

Given that you want 4 Bou players it's to save you from yourself.

You can in Telegraph Fantasy Football.

More decision making with that rule. Good thing.

Like it. I'd downgrade Duffy to Diop so Mendy can become Laporte as unsure of Mendy's nailedness.

This

Auba much better option

Yeah A

A for me.

Having looked at the stats, I must say I agree.

Hedgehogs can get fleas. FACT

Kane is better than Janssen. FACT.

Attention seeking post.. FACT

I try to select settled players in settled, attack minded teams with good fixtures.
Not always successful though.

Highest scoring 4.5 FWD last year got you 10 points, 4.5 MID was 69. Not that you ever want to have to play either of them. On the 6.5 end, equal tops at 141 points. The numbers say cheap MID. All the same, out of that lot though I'd prefer Tielemans unless he ends up sitting deep in which case Perez might be a better choice. Leicester just looks to be the more attacking side to me over Wolves.

Agreed. A little more ‘out there’ but I can also see Locadia having a really good season

With those opening i'd say he's a great punt from the start, think he'll do well.

Digne over Coleman.

Not keen on Giroud but at least you're having a crack with something a bit different from the herd .

Who knows

He will start, but pretty much offers the same as Dendoncker @ 4.5m (+ penalties)

He's a bit like Milivojevic, in that you will be relying mostly on his spot kicks.
He has decent fixtures to start though.

5 goals and 5 assists last season, if he repeats that its 5.0 well spent.

B

A by a wide margin. A Smith may not start as they have signed a new back

Has to be 2 no?

Two.

And the answer is 0 , 1 , 2 or 3.

Almost similar in price now, yet Salah have superior underlying stat

With only £1m between them & Salah on spot kicks, it makes it easier to go for Salah imo.

Too small price difference. Salah underperformed last season while Mane arguably overperformed.

People wanting 2 Liv defenders & Salah, and he's still at afcon

Cause Salah will score more, single as that

Any difference is doubled as Salah will be captain, he's clearly the better option

Ederson
Alonso robertson digne
Salah Mane Sterling Son
Aguero Kane Auba

I assume we're still limited to three from each team

Lloris Kepa
Robbo Azpi Laporte Digne Luiz
Sterling Salah Mane Siggy Richarlison
Aguero Kane Vardy

Rondon.

The most expensive players in each position, that's how the game works....

Cheap or premium GK?

Where you come from

Kane or Auba 😉

Does Scotty B repeat himself ?

If you could dis-invent one thing, what would it be?

Where do squirrels go all winter?

One premium striker, who?

Where are the Snowdons of yesteryear?

Best FPL player of all time? Ville Ronke or Poseidon?

Nice.

You need to try and shoehorn in a City defender though, they will keep clean sheets and everyone else will have one.

Looks like a 4-4-2, Adam Smith isn't strong enough to be a permanent 4th defender

Had the EXACT same draft as this not long ago.
Sounds silly but does anybody else think 4-4-2 is boring?
Solid team by the way, can't fault it

Very strong

Thanks to the 3 of you
Is this better (assuming Zinchenko a starter)? Emerson good shout if looks likely to be first choice starter.

Pope/Heaton
Coleman TAA VVD Zinchenko
Salah KDB Fraser Tielemans
Kane King

Woodman Dendoncker Diop Wickham

I have nearly the same D and similar team, but Vardy / Raz over Kane / KDB.
Smith is a worry, admittedly, but I’m hoping to find a high-performing 4.5 (if not Smith) to find the other spots.

Coleman and 0.5m in the bank all day for me

Set pieces swing it for me

How about Fraser to Perez, TAA to Laporte and Diop to Digne ?

Sterling to KDB could sort this out too.

3 super-premiums in one team causes too much imbalance

Cheers all. Wouldn’t it make sense to do Fraser to Fornals/Perez/Brooks and then just upgrade Smith or Diop to a £5.5m

Lascelles and Dunk/Cathcart

B

B

Pope
Robertson Trent Digne,Cathcart Ake
Sterling Salah Noble Tielemans Dendoncker
Vardy Wilson Greenwood

Slightly if you regard Origi as being different.

Looks good apart from Origi, Greenwood (though I’m assuming just fodder), Yarmolenko (just not quite on board this bandwagon), Zinchenkon( absolutely bizzarre bandwagon - just get Kelly and save 1.5 if you’re that keen on someone who is unlikely to play), Dunk, and Woodman.

Not massively fussed on Vardy but can understamd

This

Good fixtures, attacking defenders. I can't see what is wrong with it.
Spreading the risk leads to mediocrity.

Kante & Adams look somewhat luxurious on the bench when Laporte could easily form a proper 4-4-2, you would even be able to afford Robertson over VVD too.

None of them are really, obviously having that many and Bournemouth not scoring would be a disaster, but all 4 are nice picks at the prices. This idea going about that Wilson is overpriced is interesting

Fair point.

For me it would be having several Bou still in my side against City and Lei away in gw's 3 and 4.

Not ideal but the first two matches indicate a double up is a good option

Is Emerson nailed on over Alonso? Otherwise ( and assuming Zinchenko first choice) looks very good team

This is a sound team.

Not original. Seen it many times.

Siggy or Rich maybe for the 3rd mid, Walker > Laporte and go cheap in goal, is one way.

We were interested but we’re getting De Ligt now.
