FPL Community Questions: Live Stream

Our twice-weekly live streams continue with a community questions special this afternoon.

Joe and Neale will be on air on our YouTube channel from 12:30pm BST but you can also tune in via the embedded video below.

This will be converted into podcast format after the event.

Yesterday we put out a request for questions via a Hot Topic and Twitter and we’ll be addressing some of those topics today.

Giggs Boson asked about Bournemouth assets and we’ll be looking at the Cherries, along with Leicester City players, in our latest mid-price price bracket analysis.

Bambi wondered if 5-3-2 is too inflexible should an early bandwagon emerge and we’ll be sharing our views on that, too.

With the ‘going big in defence’ strategy gathering momentum, two relatively overlooked premium forwards are also discussed.

We’ll be filming another one of these videos on Thursday lunchtime tackling more of the requests that were submitted on our site or on social media.

Keep your requests coming in for topics of debate in the meantime and we’ll get through as many as we can before the season begins.

    Any Chelsea fans here? How long is Rudiger out and is Christensen at 5.0 a good option in the meantime?

      Not entirely sure how long he’s out for but I think the opening weeks and he’d be incorporated with the cup games.. I’d say wait on preseason to see our CB pairing as Zouma is also in the mix now

      All know Spurs are good FPL points scorers. ATM Erik is not on my radar due to uncertainty in his future. I think Alli if he gets his head right could play more advanced and become a good asset. Erik will benefit too with their new midfield acquisition. Jury out ATM

      Only problem is ownership of Salah and that you don't have him. I would at least look to get Origi in for the first few matches if you really don't want Salah. I think Richarlison could potentially do better than Siggy for the first few games as he appears to start well and then get worse as the season goes on.

              Kane's injury record last seasons was the big reason behind that. Fully fit he pretty much matches Salah's points this year. Also Leicester attack under Rodgers will boost Vardy.
              Power shift back to the premium forwards.

      Early WC after special team GW1, if you are wondering if you have discovered a wonderful tactic no one has ever tried before......naaaah. Tried, failed.
      First GW has so many new variables there's no 'form' worth relying on.
      Also using the card that early to load up on 'form' players is just asking to fill it full of one week wonders with 0.1 price rises that take till Xmas to shunt back out.

      Been there , done that, Ars 0 - 3 Whu and a wc team full of deadwood, never recovered

        I never claimed it was never tried, it would have done well last year and I believe it should do this year:
        - Transfer window ends before season starts so by GW3 we will know the teams
        - fixture shift
        - Returning AFCON and copa America players, also suspended/injured ones like Son or CHO who represent unbelievable value and you can build a team around them

      Dont think Rich classifies as a punt because hes nailed on and will probably do well with good fixtures. Hes a differential because Siggy is preferred but not a punt. A punt imo is someone who is a differential because of doubts over his ability or even starting position. Someone like Yarmolenko, Andone, Lingard, Barkley are punts.

    Really hoping Haller comes in at 7.0. For now I'm holding Giroud at his place. Here's my team.

    Scmeichel 4.0
    TAA VVD Walker 4.0 4.0
    Salah Sterling Moura Zaha Hayden
    Giroud Jota King

    Obviously, a 3-4-3 with little bench options except Hayden, but I reckon if I'm going with those 3 at my defense, I'm not really going to rotate them.

    Moura is a punt until Son comes back, after that he is likely to be transfered but I hope he can find his place in the Spurs team.
