Nonsense

Speculation due to Euro League involvement. Probably more an issue for City and Utd, but I think all of em will just have to deal with it and start GW1 like everyone else.

They’re already out of the EL.

Grealish missed one, after that it was El Ghazi.

Wesley

Would be sooooooooooooo useful if we could just get those pesky FPL points added to members area

Its mad that we don't even have the ability do a simple analysis like this 🙁

Martial is a forward this season though.

Ah, so Bruno isn't untouchable then!

Sorry, don't have Martial's post-Bruno ppg. Considering him though. Can't find space for Bruno but can easily find space for Martial.

Martial scored 107 pts from GW 25, i.e. 14 games = 7.64 PPG

Martial now earning a point less for goals and no clean sheet now kind of messes up his PPG from last season a little.

Small change for both clubs.

2 -3 years transfer budget for most Championship clubs wanting to comply with FFP.

That's hilarious

Curious as to what kind of clause that was?

😆

This is freaking awesome !!

Why wont doc and vinagre play in gw again?

I think AWB is actually decent value at 5. 5.

United actually have value in defence considering most clean sheets in all competitions

Consider they may booster their team this year too, with shaw at 5.0 , he’s defo worth a looking

Tierney!

Not sold in starting with Werner but good balance to thus team.

Good for week 3

ASM?

City will miss at least one match with a win tonight.

Yes

Yes, IMO.

Strikers looking decent value this year.

Not madness IMO. Enough decently priced defenders to do it. Still favour 3-5-2 mind.

Nope. But the issue will be getting the fwd bandwagon with that formation.

One of the 4.5m strikers needs to be nailed on for back up.

If your starting forward doesn’t play and both your 4.5m forwards are non starters then your playing with 10 and no striker.

I did some math on this in a community article last season. Historically, 4-5-1 has been a very middling formation with which to start the season. Obviously, this season could be different, and with all of the movement of really good players to the midfield (auba, greenwood, etc), it might be.

Every season its the “big at the back” because of value argument. While there is some merit there, it always shifts forward as the the season goes on.

On that note, if the Manchester teams really do blank in 1 and 2, big at the back followed by a GW3 wildcard to add the power midfielders may prove popular.

Nothing is madness if the points roll in

Leaves a great 5.

It's what i'm leaning towards but it might be after the early WC

Unless one emerges, which invariably will happen, none immediately jump off the page.

I think it’s a case of wait and see. Bargains will always be available, they’re just not always readily discernible at this point.

Yeah or Wickham

Rhian Brewster moving somewhere like Leeds could be gold, otherwise it’s probably Davis as pure fodder.

Gomez great shout. Bamford main weak spot.

Much prefer downgrading Trossard and upgrading Bamford

I agree with you, but it is what it is.

At least there should be no more of this ‘game is still updating’ nonsense while the first match of the Gameweek has already kicked off and you’re trying to check your opponents teams.

Does not eliminate the "wake up at middle of the nigt and be dedicated" issue?

Different time zones and some people have something else/better to do... And we do have subs for that purpose.

FPL is a global game. I’m GMT - 6, so the first deadline is usually in the middle of the night. I actually have kicked myself out of bed at 4:15 AM to see if there is early news, but I certainly don’t enjoy it.

Not everyone then in the same boat, huge advantage to those at same/similar timezone to GB.

What is your strike force with that lot?

if Laca leaves would Auba still be a winger?

52m mids?

Not a fan of their fixtures.

Defenders- Ferguson looks to be the best bet.

He was on loan last season, still not WBA player.

Has he officially transferred yet?

If anything I'm glad Bournemouth are gone because I was sick of BOU above BHA

Good spot.

That’s quite triggering to look at.

Decent. No city at all?

Not sure. It's a pathetic move, though. As long as the free option is available to all, why penalise those who want to add a bit of interest to it? I've played FPL fairly seriously for about a decade now but not sure how long I could be bothered with it if there was nothing to play for.

Not a logical reason, only an emotional one.

Which isn't a bad thing...

Good to just play around with a few of the budget players to enable you to see how many premiums you could have.

Also, planning no United or City. Means you can almost choose your premiums already. It’s their price players that you really need the fixtures for.

Best 3 4.5 defs?

Yeah, some 5.0m options at United, Spurs and Chelsea.

The 4.5m players are distracting atm, but the 5.0m players could be in our teams with the right fixtures.

Thomas if Chillwell leaves Leicester...

It increased to £20 in August.

Oh well, there's always next season. :/

I did too. They launched in the middle of the night for me. Used to be 10:00 PM for me (BST - 6),

Yeah, I was quite surprised Mark isn't keen.

I know the forwards are at a disadvantage, but this is a player with pedigree, will be on the shoulder of the last defender, probably on pens, and in a team that had more xG than Liverpool last season. He'll get chances.

It's more about cash than stats, everybody's so fixated on having TAA, Bruno, KDB and Salah which leaves no room for more premium players.

Have always been keen on saving the WC for further into the season, however, this time around I am going with option 1.

2 for me until we find out what 18a and 18b means.

Don’t fancy using a chip on players who will be coming back in on close to zero training and preseason. Think City and United may take time to get up to full speed. One at a time feels ok

1 with a bench boost maybe, but depends on fixtures obv

For me, BB GW1 followed by Early WC. I always put to much emphasis on doubles and it normally backfires or is not worth it.

Could also be an option to bench some City/United players in preparation for the DGW and then wildcard afterwards.

All fixture dependant. Looks ok for a BB but whole team could look completely different if Liverpool and Arsenal don’t get a favourable GW 1 fixture.

He has never been injured before in his entire career.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruben-vinagre/verletzungen/spieler/357158

But he is 21 and is behind Jonny in the pecking order. But Jonny has a serious injury and won't start the season, so Vinagre looks a good option. Looks a good player when he plays.

No, Jonny is the regular left wing-back.

Solid reasoning

Always Christ Brunt I think

You've been all over this place for days telling the world how you're going double or treble Liverpool defence plus Laporte, now you're adding triple MU attack to it?

Are you getting Kane, Aubameyang and Aguero as well?

19/20..
