Can Soucek command a starting place in FPL squads this season?

Yes

No, many ways to skin a cat

Rest of the team?

As long as their fixtures are good, it's not really stupid. You know the risk, defense and midfield will be compromised.

Will you have a big hitting midfielder ?
Are you comfortable © one of them if no big midfielder ?
If yes, it's not stupid. Strikers are priced low to bring them back in play by FPL.

Having said that I'd be much comfortable © Salah KDB Bruno then those 3

Is Kane a captaincy option for you?

Not if you think they will all score 20+ goals this season.

Fine

People still doing RMT’s with 2 hours until fixtures released.

Geez

Check Hot Topic

Imagine the bench points...

Never work

Are you happy if he gets 120p

It’s a very tricky call, I think those that go with him may need to start him most weeks, whereas someone like Saint-Maximin can probably be sensibly benched in tough away trips and against the top 6.

Looks great if you left it for the season but think the temptation to pull value from defence into attacking positions will price too great after a few GWs.

Not a fan of heavy at the back but easy enough to fix with an early WC.

10 scored from 13 pens in the last two seasons. Doubt Noble is a regular starter so he will be competing against Antonio and Haller I presume.

Looks about right

Wait 2 hours?

The top three are a given, the rest could be anything as geography has gone out the window in recent years. We had Newcastle / Brighton in 2018 !

2019
Aston Villa/Burnley
Leicester/Brighton
Wolves/West Ham

2018
Newcastle / Brighton
Watford / Cardiff
Wolves / Leicester

More number of people are playing every year, so there is higher chance of that happening.

They do

Yup hope they get paired with teams with shorter CBs and vulnerable to set pieces early doors

Soucek only works in a 5 man Mid tbvh

What's your team mate?
Every season I do a bit of copy-paste from your team 🙂

1 hour 49 mins

*throws the phone to the wall

Everyone has forgot Sterling's hatty at the Olympic Stadium already!

Ahhhh. Okay, 100 mins to go....

Keep an eye on Ben Johnson (4m). I think Fredricks is currently first choice but Johnson has been top quality whenever played, offers more defensive stability than Fredricks.

But its the WH defence.

I'm starting Antonio regardless...I reckon he's close to fixture proof

If this is yesterday's story, it doesn't say that. Got a link?

They were saying don't play the first weekend yesterday, but that doesn't rule them out from playing midweek GW1.

Spurs aren’t expected to score lots of goals. Mourinho innit.

- His manager's style of play
- Lots of other shiny, well-priced midfield toys
- Uninspiring form at the end of last year
At 9.0 he's an OK pick but you'll need to see the fixtures.

Son tends to take a while to get going and then flourishes in purple patches of decent fixtures. I will get at some point when these conditions are met.

He track back in defensive third,thats put me off.

Why is that?

No

Agreed.

Nah. WC in GW 2 is too early.

Potentially going to be hard to avoid doing this. Making a team for GW1 and benching Utd/City players will likely result starting with a lot less points (but with a wildcard in hand). As always, depends on fixtures I suppose.

Another split week would make it interesting.

If we can have one split weekend, why not many. So your team is locked for the fixture, whenever it happens. Why did PL have to do it?

Overpriced

Avoid.

I can't believe this is a real question 😛 Martial for sure.

I prefer B) of those but you need Chelsea to fire from day 1

Man Utd v Liverpool
Man City v Chelsea

That would be worse.

Man U away yo Burnley and
Man City home to Villa

Manc clubs not playing GW1

And impossible, with none of them playing.

I don't think so - much more fun to be had elsewhere for 5.5, and Matip is still there.

I reckon he is. Will be 1st choice to partner VVD.
