The Complete Guide to FPL Pre-season 2019/20

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Tinkered some more. Yeah, my three forwards are going to require tough choices and my other defense is pretty putrid, but I managed to shoehorn VvD into this team, as well...

    Pope (Heaton)
    VvD - KWP - Montoya - Rico (Lundstram)
    Salah (c) - BSilva - Perez (McGinn, Donk)
    Auba - Kane (v) - Wilson

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      think I'd downgrade Bilva I guess, but he could be a nice pick - I'd def get a 4.0 keeper and upgrade the 5th mid to 6.0

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        5th mid to 6.0? 4th, you mean?

        There are no playing 4.0 keepers and I'm leery of going with just a 4.5 as a set-and-forget...

        Bilva is basically my one remaining City cover, so I'd like to give him a try until I do what I usually do, which is WC in GW4 and get Sterling in, just to have him blank for a month.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          yeah sorry 4th

    2. Ninjaa
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad at all. You could pick one of your gks to keep in goal and change the other to a 4m gk, this would give you another 0 5m to try and improve your defence

      1. Ninjaa
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        0.5m

      2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Whom would you take as your main 4.5? Was on Ryan/Button for a while, but not convinced by that combo...

    3. se7ens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If you're happy to gamble (which you seem to be!) why not go a step further and replace both Heaton (with a £4M) and McGinn (with a £4.5M) and upgrade Bilva to De Bruyne. If De Bruyne's back to his best he's worth 50 points over Bilva in a season. And you won't have lost much bench-wise . . .

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That’s...actually not a bad shout.

  2. Pluge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    RMT please, a little different I think.

    Ryan/Button
    VVD/Digne/Ritchie/Duffy/Lundstram
    Salah/Sterling/Siggy/Barkley/Hayden
    Vardy/King/Ings

    Brighton/Newcastle rotate decently ok.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ritchie is a no go. Prefer Heaton or Hendo to Ryan especially with Duffy. Midfield is strong, love Vardy and maybe Ings but not keen on King. 🙂

      1. Pluge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        What is poor about king right now? Is he still on pens too?

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Terrible away from home. Terrible for assists. Relies on penalties too much to score

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Can't get on board with payin £5m for a Brighton defender...

  3. Totti
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    choose one

    A) jota
    B) deeney

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      a

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B. I am going to steer clear of WOL this year, at least until they've gotten knocked out of LE.

  4. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    getting closer...feel like no Wilson could be a big error though - what would you change (hands off Origi)

    Heaton (Woodman)
    VVD Coleman Rico (Zouma Gibson)
    Salah Sterling Moura Perez (Hayden)
    Auba King Origi+0.5ITB

    1. Ninjaa
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I like it. Similar to mine below

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Origi makes me sick aswell as starting Rico. Moura to 5.5m mid and upgrade boiii

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Rico/Gibson/Kelly would only be for GW1, then just got to hope Zouma/Chelsea aren't turd

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team mate love that ASS. Just realised i’ve Had Digne this whole time and could save myself 0.5m my going Coleman what was I thinking. Origi really looking ropey to start man I hate to tell you this. Mane will be available for selection in GW1 I am so sorry 🙁 great other than that tho

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        yeah I do have a bad feeling but Gray/Ings are the only others I can consider at 6.0 for that first game, although maybe Wesley can spring a surprise

    4. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Zouma to Lundstram, upgrade King to Wilson?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I did wonder about doing that but that means playing a 4.0 defender every week which could be real bad

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          It could. But then again, it's a DEF and their realistic ceiling is pretty low, while Wilson is a brace waiting to happen in every match.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            hm yeah true, I'll see what tomorrow brings

    5. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      King to Wilson, Origi to 4.5

    6. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not worried about Coleman getting dropped any time soon? New signing is not exactly a mug and direct competition.

  5. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot? Out of 10? Gtg?

    Ryan (Button)
    Robertson Digne Zinchenko ( Rico Lundstrom)
    Sterling Salah Moura Perez (Dendonker)
    Vardy King Wood

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      8.5/template

      1. Ninjaa
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        How would you improve it?

    2. Patson Dabaka
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I really like this team. Other than King.

      1. Ninjaa
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Any recommendations?

        1. Patson Dabaka
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I would most likely do King - 4.5, Moura - Fraser, and Dendoncker to Trossard.

          But that is just me.

          Leaves you with a cheeky point 5 too!

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Suggesting to get 4.5m forward is terrible advice

            1. Patson Dabaka
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Thanks for the feedback

            2. Albrightondknight
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              I got 2 of them. At least 1 is about as good advice as you can get. Short of saying get 2.

    3. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Would steer away from Tottenham to start with. Fraser in, king out for someone else. Leicester double up is also a bit keen.

      1. Ninjaa
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Why is there no appeal for King ? Good fixtures and only 6.5 ?? Any reasons?

        1. tbeans22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          He's been involved in exactly 1 of his team's last 12 goals. Had him in my team for a long time but I feel better with Wood. Happy going with just Fraser.

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      looks good, not having that 3rd premium (Kane/Auba) does help doesn't it

  6. Aubamewho
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    The struggle is real!
    Thoughts please?

    1. Aubamewho
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy + Wilson
      Or
      KDB + King
      ( already have Sterling)

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yup, have 5 drafts Im currently considering including a BB team...see below...the struggle is real

  7. jia you
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    As some of you know I like to take an alternative approach. I am strongly considering boosting this squad in GW1:
    Nuts or viable?

    Heaton / Pope
    Robbo / VVD / Digne / AWB / Rico
    Sterling / KDB / Perez / Pereyra / Donk
    Auba / King / Joelton

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Madman but I love it and respect it so damn much. Pererya ain't played preseason and no Salah is risky af but you know that. GL have fun mate

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for that nugget mate as I hadnt done my homework on Pereyra so perhaps a Trossard punt instead 🙂

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Like it a lot Pereyra a risk of course. Trossard/Almiron look good punts

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, yeah will take out Pereyra so

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Almiron? Overhyped last season and now managed by Bruce

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Not overhyped. Class player

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe in FIFA on PS4 and MLS but not PL

            10 starts last 0 goals 0 assists. Called it flop when he arrived

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              MLS stats are mad it shows he has goals and assists in him. Playing OOP will help. It is just a punt mate relax

      3. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        McNeil perhaps another option?

    3. Aubamewho
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Decent. I just don't like pereyra

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks yeah, didnt realise hes had no mins under his belt, will likely go Trossard or McNeil

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Watch some Almiron vids mate

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I rate him, think he might have a break through season this year but I prefer a Joelton punt and dont particularly fancy doubling up on BB.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Fair enough man good luck on BB looks fairly solid

  8. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Team to start the season.
    Anything glaring to fix?

    Ryan.
    TAA, Femenia, Coleman, VVD.
    Salah(c), KDB, Sterling (vc), Perez.
    Wilson, King.
    Button, Dendoncker, Wickham, Lundstram.
    0.0m ITB.

  9. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Oh dear mesmeric messi what have you done:
    A) Digne + Robinson
    B) Coleman + Almiron

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A easily.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t say that I really want Almiron now

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          0 goals, 2 assists in 758 minutes

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Ritchie injured
            Almiron next on penalties
            Almiron good player
            Almiron nailed. Robinson 1 bad performance away from the bench.
            Hm

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hahahaha hahahahahahaha I called it. Stop right now

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wait. Almiron is 6.0m? I didn't like any 6.0m mids so wasnt keen on a 352... Oh sh1t, I'm joining you in this loss of thought

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Hahahahaha bandwagon

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Let's get it going. Both make a strong cause I reckon. Tbf I was hyped and then realised he's managed by Bruce. Huge turn off

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            The fixtures are deceptively good man and they have a class attack now. I’ll see what the normal people think tomorrow so I can disagree with them

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Haha sounds like a plan

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Omg mate look who is second on newcastle penalties in the set pieces section and guess who is an injury doubt for the start of the season :O

                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  As posted in other thread 0 goals 0 assists in 10. Overhyped flop like I predicted

                  1. Ask Yourself

                      This isn't actually happening is it. Bruce is spoiling it for me 🙁 Where's rafa when you need him. Penalty against a clumsy arsenal defence is certain though. Atleast 7 points in the bag

    Just gonna put this out there... Was tempted to stay away from here and not do FF for the 2nd year but really enjoying this site atm. Feel like I'm getting more respect than before and having laughs instead of dull convoys, probs due to my Sheff U knowledge but yh. Might all change when Robo doesn't play and you all have Rico or Greenwood off the bench but cheers :).

      Hahaha it’s definitely not just because you are a SHU fan you’ve become a good part of the community this pre season. As slouch said a while back you have learnt from last year and now it’s a good place to have a laugh in

          I've just had a month in thailand. Was absolutely unreal, I'll probs be there from time to time cause having a gap year so won't have to be up at silly times

  14. VAR United
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    This is the best I can get it to..

    Ryan
    Robertson / VanDijk / Rico
    Sterling / Salah / KDB / Perez / Moura
    King / Wood
    Bench - Button / Kelly / Lundstrum / Greenwood

    0.5 in the bank to upgrade either one of the forwards to emerging 7.0 or one of the 4.0 defence to a 4.5.

    Hit me with it

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn’t go with two 6.5 up top. Makes it hard to get in a form premium striker

      1. VAR United
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Tried with a premium forward to start but the team was unbalanced and a 9.5 KDB is better value

        1. Men in green tights
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          not sure about starting with rico every game as Kelly is unlikely to start many now with cahill signing

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would strongly disagree with your conjecture 🙂

      Rico and to a lesser extent King to go.
      That mid does look good though.

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Probably my very last decision to make.

    A) Fraser
    B) Moura

    Have Wilson already. Preffered option guys? 🙂

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Moura for the punt

    2. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B easy

    3. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fraser, moura rotation risk

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        shoud start the first two though with Son out surely?

        1. Chelsea91
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah for two weeks

          1. Men in green tights
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            also ali is injured

            1. @fpl_phenom
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              will be back gw3 so 1 good fixture for moura

    4. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Bbb

    5. Ragabolly

      B

    6. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      In the same boat, maybe will start with Maura.

    7. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A. Spurs to struggle in the first two I reckon slow start for them.
      1-1
      0-2

  16. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Rate out of 10

    Ryan
    Digne VvD Laporte Lowton
    Salah Sterling Fraser Robinson
    Auba Ings
    Button Diop Hayden Wickham

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      5.5

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Do I need to get rid of one of the big lads? Lol

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          yeah i'd say so, can definitely do better than Robinson & Ings.
          I know how cool it is though with the allure of three premiums, and i've done it with some balance to sides, but honestly it's sooo much better with just two to start with, feels more certain and flexible.

    2. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fraser to king, 1m use to upgrade defend

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lowton to Montoya, Ryan to Deno or Heaton imo. Would also maybe consider Fraser to Perez and Laporte to Trent or Robo. Solid though and similar to mine. 7.5 atm

  17. gruffyboy
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all,

    First bash for this season - any thoughts? Feels light in defence but striggling to compromise on other areas....

    Pope / Heaton
    VVD / Digne / Kelly / Simpson / Lascelles
    Salah / Sterling / Moura / Perez / McGinn
    Auba / King / Greenwood

    Cheers

    1. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Defend is terrible, changes needed

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Simpson and Kelly unlikely starters so horrendous

    3. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Please - don't hold back - I can take it 🙂

      Where do you think i can downgrade the easiest? I shifted it all around to bring in Auba - might need to go back to square 1...

      1. Chelsea91
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Downgrade moura, and upgrade defend

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Id ditch Auba. Too expensive. Ars is a wait and see for me. Might even lose pens. Heard Pepe scored lime 9 pens last season and Pierre is terrible at them.

    4. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years

    Best/most nailed 4.5m Midfielder?

    1. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Currently on Taylor to cover burnley since most of the people rotate pope and heaton as keeper

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        He said midfielder

        1. Chelsea91
          • 7 Years

          Opss sorry currently on dendonker

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years

      Probably Stephens

    3. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say Hayden, wolves are meant to be in for Lemina

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Hayden could still be gone tomorrow

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I'm done. This is my team for gw1 and beyond.

    Heaton

    Robertson/Digne/Zinc

    Salah(c) /Kdb/Perez/Barkley
    Trossard

    Auba/Wilson

    (Pope/Lundstram/Montoya/
    Greenwood)

    G2G??

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood will cost you in the long run

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I know but what else can I do at 4.5m??

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      one pool defender and no sterling isn't for me, but it looks ok to start with, best of luck bud.

  20. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Gtg?

    Ryan/pope button
    C.taylor/dunk stones robbo coleman lund/kelly/rico
    Sterling salah fraser lanzini/perez donk
    King kane greenwood

    Keeping an eye on everton lester westham assets (kean zaha(if transfered) siggy perez tielmans lanzini anderson)

  21. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    VVD getting close to 50% ownership, sitting currently at 48.3%.

    Thats almost 9% more than second highest (Salah at 39.5%).

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not much room to rise in price then/

    2. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I can imagine the crying on here when VvD scores and Trent is benched all in gw2

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, he is solid - Bernardo's surprises me (not that he's a bad pick or anything) and Auba is slowly creeping up

    4. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Any attacking returns from Trent / VVD / Robbo are gonna feel so anti-climactic because of their ownership. From an enjoyment perspective, I'm so tempted to just go with one of them but I know I'll regret it.

  22. 11SPECIALONE11
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    WILSON AND KEAN UPFRONT

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      go on .....

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      That's where I'm at currently, bit concerned it will take time for Kean to find his feet though but may be a punt worth taking that he hits the ground running. Not set in stone for me though, could change numerous times before deadline.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Im interested in saving 1 million on siggy..

        I expect kean to at least feature and be nailed from GW2 .....

        that 1 million really comes in handy

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah I went cold on Siggy at 8 myself.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Need them to sign Zaha to make bringing Siggy back an easy decision. Absolute penalty fest.

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Didn't think of that. Siggy would be must have

  23. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Greenwood is a trap. Does no one remember previous cheap forward disasters and how difficult it was to get them out when you wanted to bring in another forward?

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Is your cheapest forward around 6m?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Far better value in defenders and mids than the 6m forwards, so makes sense to go with one 4.5 forward. Simple transfer or two to upgrade a forward from that price anyway i'd imagine.

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I would disagree. At least someone like Hayden will get you 2 points and the occasional assist if you need him from 2nd / 3rd bench spot. Greenwood you'll be happy with 1 point.
        I'd also take the likes of Wood, King, Ings before Perez, Barkley, Redmond any day.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I do see your points, even inclined to agree, i just think for the start some sacrifices have to be made, i've not even got Greenwood., bu i can understand how he makes a useful makeshift to benefit elsewhere to begin the season.

    3. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku looks likely to leave with the possibility of a replacement coming in slim, Greenwood at 4.5 could pay off if that scenario plays out.

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      united signing no one... he could bleddy start if utd go 433 in some games

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

      41

      1. Chandler Bing

        I actually meant the transfer deadline day for Premier League transfers. Not FPL.

    3. Tsparkes10

      Transfer deadline day finishes in 15 hours. Fpl deadline in 41

    Ryan (Button)
    Robertson / Alexander-Arnold / Digne (Rico / Lundstram)
    Salah / Sterling / Moura / Perez / Trossard
    Wilson / Wood (Wickham)

    Liking it. Time for bed methinks. Good luck everyone!

  26. Scout15
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I wanted Auba in my team, but it is much more balanced with Laca instead...
    The only way I could squezze Auba in is to downgrade VVD

    So my question is:
    A) VVD+Laca
    B) Gomez+Auba

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Laca doesn't fill me with confidence

      1. Scout15
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I know, but if he is healthy and plays CF maybe it's worth a gamble

    2. Aussiemilan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      laca has a great week then gets benched the next, too much disappointment for me

    TAA, VVD, Zinc, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, Moura, Perez Wilson, King

    Thinking he will be my 4.5m option to begin with.

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Him and Cathcart seem to be the options. Seem to remember Femenia being in and out of the team last season

  30. noahzark22

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Heaton
    Robertson, Guilbert, Digne
    Robinson, Sigurdsson, Salah, Pérez, Fraser
    Aubameyang, Wilson

    Button, Greenwood, Lundstram. Cresswell

    1.5 ITB for potential Siggy to Pepe/KDB move. Still unsure of Cresswell or Fredricks.

    Otherwise, I think I'm settled.
