Assumed they were just testing it works properly but could be I suppose

Reckon they'll be accurate. They got them from somewhere. The season starts soon, I guess they'd have draft fixtures in place by now. Could be waiting for United result to finalise/adjust.

Can't be accurate as they have both Manc teams playing at home

Why would you not just put the Manchester Derby on the week one schedule? Move it back to wherever you need to move it and let the rest of the league get on with playing?

There's already so much congestion in this year's schedule. Why create more games that need to be made up than you absolutely have to?

How many scheduling conflicts are you really dealing with given empty stadiums?

Could be but i just think strikers are nearest to the goal and that’s where the points are so I am going 352

I think you're wrong. I think the forwards present a lot of value this year now that they're all under 11.0m.

Remember that 200 points usually will run you like 11m. And the likes of Martial and Werner could easily make that. Add on some very good players like Antonio and Mitrovic coming in under expectations, and there are at least a few good choices in attack.

I will play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 for sure.

Need to find some courage to do that tbh.
I'm also thinking about that. These midpriced attackers are my doom

Not this simple but - Robbo and Wood vs Werner and 4.5 def - Werner is going to need to start on fire

I'm looking at this starting 11:

Ryan

TAA, Taylor, Vinagre, 4.5/4.0 defenders (rotating)

Salah, Auba, KDB, Greenwood, Saint-Maximin

Martial

It’s all relative...
If you want Auba and/or Rashford - you are playing last season 343, now it’s just 352 etc...

I’ve been playing with a few formations and nothing feels as flexible as 343. Every season everyone’s preseason ideas of what makes a good squad goes out the window after 3 or 4 games, so I want to be able to jump on any player that emerges. I think that is easier with 343 than a 451 with 2 non starting 4.5 strikers

For me, the typical reason to play 3-4-3 is the lack of playing strikers at the 4.5 price point. Do we think there will be a starting 4.5 or 5.0 sticker this year?

The worst that I've ever done for that was when Liverpool were 3 up against Palace and drew 3-3 under Rodgers to effectively end their title hopes, I turned off because I was sure they'd won, managed to catch the equaliser at least.

MU in CL final comes to mind.

Ryan, Soucek and Werner.

You can’t say you’re almost there when no fixtures are even announced...

KWP

Unless they have a horror start I'm probably doubling up on the Leeds pair

KWP

PL experience leads to kwp ?

I'm on Dallas atm as people are saying his OOP 😀

Southampton Don't put me confidence as a CS team tbh. Reason why I'm not going with McCarthy

Leeds, I suppose. It's not beyond Arteta to tidy things up consistently, but I need to see more evidence of it first.

Fixtures will probably decide for me.

Sterling will be a good pick again, and mostly overlooked because of KDB.

Him and KDB too?

Your post says about him.
He's all poo no sh.t 😆

Stats don't give us points. Can het him if he's looking dangerous scoring form again. But i like what KDB offers for that price. A double up can be considered if fixtures are amazing though

I always loved having both sterling and kdb, but auba's reclassification made everything a bit harder for me. I'll decide when they announce the fixtures

I intended to start the season with Sterling over KDB, but KDB's ownership makes me think it's too risky not to start with him.

And don't think I'll try and squeeze both in unless City have extremely good fixtures and Liverpool and Arsenal have horrible fixtures

Played the last 4 so pretty much. A lot will depend on transfers though...

Pretty much, but still... kills it a bit now.

When his baby is here

you get what you pay for tho. It seems good, but dont expect many points at the back. People putting a lot of faith in Leeds defence.
Plus those last 4 arent even guaranteed to start, Vinagre pretty much is and Taylor but both could lose their places.

Got to a set up with 5 players over 9.0 using this. Didn't really look that unbalanced and it had a first bench anyway

Can you tell me one so that i can report ?
😉

Yeb, it's called fanteam

Early price drop for KDB when Auba and Raz bang in hattricks GW1

KDB will likely not see much variation all year imo.

I think Werner is a prime candidate to see significant price drops if he doesn't start on fire, given his very high ownership at this embryonic stage.

High ownership means more sales are required for a drop. But there is more scope for a lot of sales because there are a lot of owners available and ready to sell. I think in general it doesn't matter whether a player is highly owned or not initially, they still need the same % of owners to ship for a drop as someone not quite so highly owned.

It makes huge impact IMO.
10% of Overall ownership generally makes those prices tick right ??

Might be a case of United assets having a very volatile season then as they won't be available in GW 1 at least ?

good luck on your second draft 🙂

Greenwood was essentially nailed on tho. Brewster won't even come close to that.

Mane Salah Firmino a tad harder to break into than a front 3 including Dan James.

A few cameo goals 1st half of the season then earn a place if an injury comes along - not impossible

I had Brewster in my 15 in my first draft last year. He'd been doing so well in the friendlies, and was on penalties in several of those I think. He of course did not get a chance at all in the league. Don't think the time at Swansea did him any good.

Because both him and his team have regressed. Fair price imo, likewise for Aguero who is old and rotation prone. They'll be good for when they go on their runs, but not season keepers by a long stretch

He was the first name in most people's GW38+ FH team. I reckon he doesn't scream value when you ignore fixtures but a decent start could bring him into the conversation

Never under estimate the misery of Mourinho.

Too many premium options i want in midfield doesn't fit him in

PL experience ?

One season in the PL playing for a relegated side hardly shouts Premier League pedigree, especially given the alternatives on offer at that price.

Scored two in play off final and that’s probably it really

The 2 goals in the Playoff final added the 0.5 to his price imo

Championship final is probably the only EFL game the interns at FPL watch.

Bench probably a bit thin. I'd consider some of the 8-10m midfielders instead of Salah/KDB as can only captain one, and beef up the bench

All about whether those 9m forwards can outscore their cheaper counterparts by more than TAA can outscoure your 4.5m rotation.

Tough call - you know you're getting 200+ points from TAA (barring injuries).

Thing is I'd fancy TAA to outscore those premium mids and forwards

No chance. For me, the only difficult decision is who else to fit around him.

A when Pulisc is fit that is

I'm on same atm.
Can play any variation of 442 352 451

Is this for a zombie team?

Probs not

Completely agree, wait for the form and fixtures combination

Nketiah could be interesting if Laca leaves.

Someone's dropping out with Willian in, at least for now, so not sure yet

Ok, thanks. I will see who else emerges at that peicerange.
