How will new positions at Man United affect their FPL assets in 2020/21?

And Torres, Sterling could play on right more

I think he's value for his price. Not expecting Kev-like figures.

I guess after tonight they’d be more eager to sign Aouar. He is an amazing player.

KDB
Salah/Auba (close one)
Aguero

It’s probably in that order for big hitters for me. But of course depends on fixtures.

Nope. One's enough for me.

Sterling
Auba
Salah

Would expect it to be a struggle given we don't know who they're playing. 😀

will depend on fixtures, if City have mega ones and Arsenal don't it becomes a bit easier

Picks itself after today

I won't pick sterling until Pool have secured the title again. Bottle job

i only want one of them

ACD

ACE

ACE

Rashford? Is that lol?

Perfectly reasonable based on the limited info we have.

Martinez ?

Nice

Actually passingly similar to my 15 side team above. You’ve just almost done it a different way. Ziyech could be smart

Martinez starting would be gold.

Ings to Kane
Mitrovic to Bamford

Soucez is first bench no more

With 1.5m in the bank, maybe upgrade Peters to Digne or Doherty?

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to a Leeds or Palace. He needs PL minutes, he isn't going to get that at Liverpool just yet.

I'm in, might even run a 4.5 4.5 4.5 strike force 😀

I just had a brain fade and was gonna say 'not for me as it takes up a valuable Liverpool spot'
I would definitely take him, if he gets loaned out

he will go on loan to the Championship again, probably back to Swansea

If he goes on loan to a lower-half team where he's starting regularly he's 100% in my squad - could even be tempted to start him if it allowed for 4 premium mids + TAA and Robbo

Leeds might be a good fit for him if he’s a finisher.

Yes

Yes

Probably.

Salah imo

Salah or KDB tough one.

Trent all day

Salah vs Fulham and TC is on!

FH activated.

BB might be worth a shout

Too much money upfront for me

Not bad, Foden never played tonight.

I wouldn't double up on City.

Personally I think Ings at 8.5 is going to struggle to match the Chelsea mids. Rashford at 1m extra also looks like better value, when United start.

I have a mental block with ings and Jiminez. Something about 8.5-9m players i have a blind shot.
But this is great example of how they could work well.

If United win tomorrow you might want a placeholder for him otherwise good

Too many big hitters for me.
Downgrade Salah to Werner[or someone else's] and change formation to 4-4-2. Upgrade defence with those funds.

We don't know. I think Martinez is a better keeper atm. Wait the Liverpool game

It’ll be Leno if he’s OK.

Assume Leno

Soucek passed the eye test better for me, that is my only argument.

Think I’d prefer Ritchie too, there’s a few others at 5.0 too. Need fixtures to decide the best pick for now for me

I like him at that price as well

I think people will be apprehensive of Ritchie because he was a defender last year, maybe. Also ASM for 0.5m more from the same team stands out a little more.

I've got Saint-M and Soucek, so not Ritchie for me.

Ritchie had half the xG/90 that Soucek had last season

The problem with Soucez is he’ll be 4.9 in no time.

Apparently Soucek has scored 33 goals in the last two seasons.

Or no Kane?

What about Luke Thomas guy

Isn't he a RB, replaced Pereira post restart

Isn’t he on the other side filling in for Pereira?

(That's Julien Laurens, French football expert according to the BBC)

Pep is a decent manager but will never be a great manager. Couldn't win the CL with Bayern either.

Barca had a great team when he took over the reigns there.

He would be really average without a big transfer budget.

He overthinks it everywhere - just shown up at this level when things go.wrong. Same happened in cup final.

Think the quality of the team is overstated though. Take KdB away and it looks good but not special. More squad depth but not so far ahead of United man for man

"Sometimes it works, like against Real Madrid in Spain". City were overplayed the entire second leg and only because of a horror show from Varane and some Madrid bad luck in finishing that they qualified. No credit to Pep there

B

Although I have Werner and Antonio

omg what a team. i will copy please.

did you select the team based on who is most likely to be rotated?

Bench is proper dead which is an issue when Ake and Mahrez don't play.

No Trent

Code is 48n69x

48n69x

No, that's good actually. You've got 13 or 14 active players, so Davis nailed to your bench isn't a problem.

Nah, I think it's a very solid team.

I actually thought no way but then the team doesnt look that bad, perhaps one too many untested/unproven in PL so a gamble side but upside could be rapid team value rise and head start. fixtures yet will mix things up no doubt

its pretty good but your attack in general is a bit punty.
Salah, KDB and Bruno are good ofc. But other then them you're at the mercy of Maxim, Soucek, Werner and Mitro.

I personally really like it if the fixtures allow you to rotate your defenders and ASM/Soucek properly.

Thanks all - not going to tinker further until fixtures come out......... well that’s the plan anyway!

Very similar to mine, except I’ve got Auba over Bruno - so yours looks balanced by comparison!

Good team. I'd be tempted to downgrade McCarthy to Button and use the 0.5 to go Tierney > Doherty (both good picks, just think Doherty has a considerably higher ceiling over the season)

Having difficulty in choosing between Liverpool and Chelsea defence? Good night I assume

Soucek flavour of the week rn at that price point. All depends on fixtures ofc.

It's going to be about fixtures for players like this. Fulham, Villa and West Brom in the first 3 and they're in. Liverpool, Chelsea and Man U you then run for cover.

It’s easy. Pick a 4.5 one and a 4.0 one. Update once the fixtures are released.

Lloris until injury

you don't understand how FPL works if you don't have Digne

Should been Digne 5.5, Doherty 6.0. At 5.5 Digne finds himself in most people’s teams though IMO

Digne is garbage lets face it, even at 5.5.

A very good question that, mate!
Firmino 9.5 while Trent is 7.5 is also very very strange...

Ancellotti factor perhaps?

And let's not forget we dismissed Periera at 6 for LEI and he turned into a machine for half the season.

Punts?!
Bruno + Greenwood looks like a better combo out of those two imo

Why would he? He can't be that incompetent

You got 'Ozil' and 'speedy' into one sentence.

Chapeau.

I swear some people have no concept of humour... 😆

Its 3 subs

it went back to 3 subs

may have underthunk the sub situation

Oopsy.
Still a bench of ayling, 4.5 mid isn't bad

Maybe Branthwaite or Tyrick Mitchell (PvA injury monitor) temporary

Before the game was released I would've said 8, but now that they priced Pepe at 8, surely Willian has to be more expensive.

8.0

Anymore then 8 they’re having a laugh

7.5 - he won't have pens

I like this comment

Better than salah?
