King hasn't played any pre-season has he, and Solanke has looked good. I'd be slightly concerned about King. Rest of the team looks very nice, you're confident pool and do the defensive job again this season? And you think Barkely is first choice in the no.10 role?

Good team. I prefer Jota to King.

Nice Kane and Salah team. I'd be tempted to drop KDB to take advantage of the 7.5 to 8m bracket and upgrade your first sub, which may work out better for your team

Been on B for a fair few days, but the allure of Kane....

Tough one, but I think A is a good compromise to fit in Kane, Salah and KDB

A for me - though I'm not at all sold on Wesley, I think Ings and Adams will both prove better value

Downgrading Fraser to Barkley (if you dare) would free up 1.5. Would then go for A and upgrade VVD + Coleman + Wesley to Robertson + Digne + 6.5

I think that would be a good move. And BAM. We got the same team except you went for Laporte + Heaton whereas I got Lloris + Zinchenko

B

You need to find 1.0 to fix Rico

You don't pick 3 premiums.. downgrade one and your team is fixed.

Either TAA or VVD have to go

Good differential but he is going to have literally no pre season, would give him a few games to get up and running

Price difference with Salah this season makes him a non-option

Not much differential when the 20% casual vote has him...

I'm on that KWP train

Mixed fixtures but I'll put up Mee.

BHA, CRY look good rotation, just not sure which 4.5 CRY defender will start

I love the smell of a roasted RMT in the morning.

Double BHA? Hopefully Dunk moves to Leicester in the wake of Maguire’s departure. Not keen on spending 15.5 on two Bournemouth attackers either. Just a bit punty with Barkley thrown in as well. It’s not bad but I think you can tweak it a bit

Yeah I might consider upgrading one of your Brightons and downgrading a Bournemouth or KDB

Fully agree. Mount looks much better which will threaten his position. He may be on pens which is the allure and playing number 10 in pre-season.

Apparently he's been channeling Andrea Pirlo recently.

No one passed it to me.

Huh?

Cheers guys

Go with De Gea could be a good differential for you

I personally like 4.5 GK so that I can spend the extra money somewhere else

4.5m rotating every season. Man U and Arsenal keepers were in bottom 3 worst about 2/3rds way through last season

I've played this game nearly 10 years now. I've done 5.5 goalkeepers, 5.0 goalkeepers, 4.5 goalkeepers, rotating keepers, even had a 4.0/4.0 rotation going once if anyone remembers sorensen

Last year went Ederson set and forget, best decision i've made on FPL. Guaranteed 6 points or more on at least 20 weeks and saves a headache.

Not Slabs biggest fan but still an upgrade on what they had, and with the mighty Wan, the Cat could be mint this year.

Lloris could be a great option at 5.5 after the signing of Ndombele. I reckon he is just what they needed.

Lots of good GKs in the 5.5 range. De Gea, Lloris and Pickford (with Everton's early run of fixtures) could all do really well - not convinced by Kepa as I think Chelsea could be a bit loose at the back.

4.5 options are starting to open up now. Heaton at Villa, Pope/Hart at Burnley and Hendo at Sheffield could all rack up save points.

Its more expensive to go 6.0 + 4.0 compared with 2 x 4.5's. However that 1m will buy you security knowing you will never need to spend a FT on a GKer. Personally I see the 2 x 4.5's to be the more 'attacking' play.

Early fixtures? Also true that strikers in Championship goal figures will drop a lot. 46 games vs 38 and some diabolical defences

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City in the first 5 is pretty rough. I am pretty interested though.

this one's unique i'll give you that. If gigi can rediscover his form this year you're on to a winner. Not the most conventional attack either but easily adjusted to the likes of wilson, jota and jiminez if they perform instead. Overall i like it.

Not a fan of the goalkeepers though, if sheffield end up having a rough time you're gonna be in for a rough one too

I like it (even though I think Pulisic is a bit of a punt at this point), but I'd personally have another 4.5 GK to rotate with Hendo (although you could always just use a free transfer).

Be a maverick and go for Pepe

Oof I like the 352 better

Ryan
TAA | VVD | Walker
Salah | Sterling | KDB | Tielemans | Barkley
King | Wesley

Guilbert

I like it more than most

Why Tielemans over Perez? And Alonso is not too likely to start (Emerson seems to be favoured) - VVD/Laporte are more sensible picks. Otherwise, looks good - Fab is fine!

Love the Eriksen pick. If he stays and gets head right, with Tripps gone and addition of Ndombele, no reason he should not return to prev status as 200 pt’er.

Between that and 3-4-3 for me

i have VVD, Digne & Laporte

toying with 2 5 3 myself

I'm not so sure. Plenty of value to be had in the mid priced strikers.

Fuchs assisted Vardy but not sure on WGTA for Perez’s opener

Both if possible - if just 1 then Sterling

Clearly Stirling... but a fit KDB is the best midfielder in the league (in real life; not fantasy wise)

Trying to get Stirling in without smashing my team to bits lol

STIRLING!!! I love IT

some questions don't have easy yes/no answers

- Rico faces serious competition and yet to feature much
- King has played no pre season
- Solanke looking good but yet to show any signs of a breakout season

Meaning no offense, both wrong questions.

They have a game tomorrow when we can see

Either way i'd stay away from both - solanke has 1 career premier league goal

I read that too. According to the pre-season tab, last time Wilson played, King got 75 mins.

community shield should shed some light

I see you have followed the path and found the light.

Welcome Tobsorensen. You have reached The Template.

Very template but good

The only difference between this and the template is Barkley in for Perez

I think Utd will shut out Barks g/w1.
Good team, I think Utd double defense has it's merits, I'm leaning there lately.

You sure about KWB... I think Aurier might be back

With that as your bench, you will likely have to WC early (unless Gibson plays/switches teams); otherwise, your team could get hammered when Guardiola rotates Sterling/de Bruyne.

Sky sport 9 I think. 2am

It's on Sky Sport 7 bro, 57.

Jesus lad.

There's currently 13 RMT's on this page. 3 of them belong to you and 2 belong to your buddy Druze just above you.

Are forwards even important though?

Many people are generally going with cheap strikers and a premium mid this season to start with at least

Kane better. On pens 100%. Pedigree, younger and immune to rotation. He matched Sterling when he was fit last season

Tough gw3 and 4 fixtures.. and what Irbox stated

I've seen him in quite a few - 20% have him on FPL.

He just isn't on any RMT's in this page, almost half of which are by the same people

Awkward fixtures for Arsenal and there always seems to be a rotation cloud.

Cheers all!
