I like B

The second, but spend that £2.0m! The first one has too many £4.0m’s in defence.

Both pretty decent in fairness.

I've changed again to this:-
McCarthy
TAA Vinagre Saliba
Salah KDB Foden Soucek
Werner Jimenez Ings

Nyland ASM Mitchell Branthwaite

Cheers guys, think I was leaning this way too. Fixtures will mix it all up lol

good shout Sarj

1 for me.

how many of these players would you captain? not sure I trust Kane these days, so 1

Salah and Soucek. Salah worth more because of captaincy option he offers.

Salah and Soucek

Salah captaincy is a major reason why he'll be popular. Otherwise I might have said Ziyech and Son.

B in isolation, I think
A if you include the captaincy points in Salah

Over the course of the season, possibly B. If we knew how nailed on Foden would be, and say he plays about 2500-2800 mins, it's a tossup between B and C for me.

Similar to what im looking at. Dunno if Ayling and Dallas is overload, but could pay off

Hopefully Ramsdale 4.5 starter at SHU, that would be what I call a steal

Try posting with just the differences..

a) Auba, Mahrez, Rashford
b) Ziyech, KDB, Bruno

The obvious winner is b)

the second option is very similar to my draft, currently i'm doubling up. i like the second option as you can Cap home player out of KDB and Bruno.

would be ballsy but could pay off. Some of the top guys last year never really touched Salah or Mane if I recall.

Option 1 with McCarthy/KDB/Greenwood for Pope/Mahrez/Rashford would be nice imo

I don’t like option 1 but 2 looks awesome. I’m not sure I’d have the courage to go all in on the defence like that though myself.

Thought about it but haven't got the stomach for it. TAA, VVD, Mo for me.

Villa will sign a new keeper surely.

They’ll sign a new keeper obviously

this is the kind of stupid thing I usually get sucked into doing, they are turd and probably won't be any better this season

See above, Ramsdale rumour.

I've got Nyland as my 4m back up in the event my first choice doesn't play. Him being Martinez which is entirely plausible.

A

A

ASM to Soucek
Mitro to Antonio/Maupay (depending on fixtures)
Lascelles to Taylor, Saliba or Dallas

Why do you have Lascelles? There are so many better 4.5ms to pick from. Vinagre, Dallas, Ayling, Saliba, Mari, Justin, Thomas, KWP, Taylor all better. Playing for stronger defensive teams. Vinagre in particular.

Heaton is terrible

Prefer Rashford as a mid to Martial, but I do like Son so I can see why you’ve gone for Tony as there’s not much room in that midfield.

Captain options might be an issue?

End of the week booooi

Friday at the latest, hopefully sooner.

He's quite highly thought of, and for the big clubs he fills the homegrown quota as well. I think that's why Brighton would like to keep him unless a significant offer comes in.

Admittedly the source is from a fan channel on Youtube: Source for the Leeds bid: https://youtu.be/oj14DmsFmD4?t=238

But they're usually very good with their sources. They tend to focus on Tier 1 journalists, they even have a weekly podcast where Tier 1 journalist comes on for an interview (Fabricio Romano was on on last week). They also know a lot of United staff and ex players. Evra has been on a few times. Random plug, but good channel to follow.

Ditch Werner?

Gave it a try but defence ain't pretty

4-4-2

Nyland Steer (both 4.0, could work if they don't sign a new keeper)

TAA Vinagre Williams Ferguson Mitchell

Salah Auba KDB Greenwood 4.5

Werner Mitrovic 4.5

yeah kinda, you should be able to pick fodder that have a chance of playing

Depends on your XI.

If the fodders are likely to get decent minutes and you have no rotation risk starters it should be feasible.

An article here last year did an analysis on subs that educated me. The third sub is called on almost never, and the second sub much more rarely than I'd thought. So unless you have a rotation strategy, if your first XI are reasonably secure, one playing sub will get you through all but a few fixtures.

As long as those two fodders aren't fwd:s or def:s, it ok. The problem with 4-5-1 is that if your only forward doesn't start you have no sub.

It's impossible to say, the truth is, certainly, that for Liverpool and City the league and europe will be competitions they want to do well in, at some point they may be faced with a choice to go for one or the other but from the outset it'll be both.

It's just so fun to mess around though.

Tinkering is endless fun till the fixtures are released!

I also think we can too drawn in by fixtures. Particularly if the first two are dodgy. Picking a team over a patient 10 week period may prove to be more effective

Greenwood & Foden = £14m, ASM & Perreria = ~£12m. I just don't see how the former doesn't outscore the latter by a lot more than £2m worth of points.

Yep, I'm going with that and double City with KDB

Depends on fixtures...

A then C

Werner imo.

1 - Werner essential, he will get similar figure to Auba last season. Ziyech is a great differential though (did you read the FFS article on him?)

1 by far for me. I would first like to see where Ziyech is going to play on the pitch

Ziyech

A

Do you have KDB? That's very tough!

Ultimately I think it will come down to Aubas fixtures.

4.5 4.0
TAA 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.0
Salah KDB Auba Fernandes Soucek
Antonio 4.5 4.5

Thats how you can get all big 4 if you play 451

FPL didn't do a very good job when pricing players this season imo. Mane is too expensive, KDB is too cheap.

Switch the City boys and this was just about the same last season I suspect even in week 2 when Mane was back

Doubling up when fixtures are bright is easier than ever 😉

Stopped at De Gea, you're kidding right?

Martial + Ziyech ->> Werner + Greenwood
