Premier League fixture list published as Manchester clubs blank in Gameweek 1

Very good!

I've not seen many others with Sheff Utd but, looking at first few weeks, I think they're being overlooked. Egan would be my choice too.

And I've also considered having a Utd player on the bench.

No interest in Egan at 5.0m. Better to get a 4.5m - Ayling, Taylor, KWP all pretty nice options.

Looks good, but a Salah haul in GW1 will keep you chasing for many GWs

Who so you prefer of your 2 cheapest midfielders?

Really like it. Not keen on RLC though.

No Leicester attack (especially Vardy) is a bit worrying given them fixtures

Not bad.

KWP has a run of mostly nice fixtures.

Not worth it

TAA is nailed and will score loads while being highly owned. You don’t want to miss the big hauls by doing Hokey Cokey.

TAA is set and forget

Spurs hardly free flowing going forward though, you expect lots of goals, if so why?

I like Spurs but think Son benefits most from Mou's counter attacking style, Kane often has to drop back and defend while Son is on the shoulder of the last defender.

I know he scored a few goals end of last season but Spurs needed to go all out so tactics differed

That is one excellent attack! Dropping TAA last season to get Son in still haunts me though as I missed out on Trent's 24pt haul against Leicester after owning him last season. Son got a red card as well. Lesson learned. It is a risky move but I do love that attack that you've chosen

Love it

Agreed on dropping TAA not keane on Kane bad value and frustrating to own/watch in fpl. Kane doing an impression of a deep lying midfielder? No thanks. Pens only plus points for 10.5

you will regret the moment TAA bangs his first FK curler of the season, which will be second half of GW1

Dunno about no TAA even for the first two

Ziyech > Son imo but I love this, I get the fear everyone has in dropping TAA but it's a fair gamble to take imo and risks are FPL's lifeblood

Didn't play much last season. Still got an eye for a goal, but pace is gone and unlikely to be first choice.

decent for a 352 ... not sure regarding Antionio - West Ham have a difficult start
Gotta observe Pulisics fitness ... but an easy switch to Ziyech awaits

Happy with double sou def? KWP better option than Bedna? West Ham have awful fixtures so might want to rethink Antonio. Looks good though, I’m just tying to decide on which 4.5 defs!

Not for first 2, but a burden unless you're wildcarding after.

Not convinced by Spurs defence, even under Mourinho...

They need signings.

Forgot Justin, but is Pereira close to fitness?

In 1st few GWs

He is nailed until Pereira is back from injury (expected to be October)

Pereira is injured

Should be good for the first 4 gws

Yes. Easily the best player in the game in terms of value and point returns.

No not creasy very sinceibabble imo

Slight tweak:

McCarthy
TAA - Doherty - Aurier - Tierney
Salah(c) - Son - Ziyech
Werner - Ings - Mitrovic

Gunn - 4.0 - 4.5 - 4.5

0.5 ITB

Bit surprised at no Auba for first 2 GWs. He will even play CF if they sell Laca

Same here...him or Vardy

Leicester’s Ozil

I'm considering Barnes.

I know... Feels wrong

Does he still take set pieces? Was great 1st half last season. In my team only 7m value there.

same here and in my current draft ... decent price pont good fixutes and no room for Vardy ^^
lets obeserve pre season

WE DONT KNOW YET

Less likely if Gabriel signs

isnt ASM a bit expensive for your bench? Or rotation with Soucek?

beside Willian it looks quite good so far ^^

First glance I like it for a gw1-3 team. Could get a leicester mid instead of the chelsea lad?

I’m not a big fan of double up on Southampton defence but looks good otherwise.

However with a likely early DGW for Manchester clubs, planning 10 GWs might be too long term as most will likely WC much earlier than that. It depends on your strategy.

I like it

Wildcard 😀

Why would I bring 3-4 players from those teams? Those fixtures aren't exciting enough for double/triple ups.

It’s not like the players you have will magically stop performing after GW1 (hopefully), so I can’t see the urgency of offloading everyone and replacing with City/United asap.

Liverpool mid to United mid in GW2
Auba to City mid in GW3

Go without City in GW2

Planning to bring just one of each as above tbf. I can always double up later when I WC during the first or second IB

If you start with Kane & Werner say then Martial and Aguero are easily reached.

Auba > a mid is obvious.

It is tricky though.

Auba as a placeholder for 2 GWs then switch to KDB/Sterling/Bruno

I'm not. City have a nasty string of fixtures - I'll wait until after the Inty Break to consider them.
United: Bruno is on my bench. The next one I'd like to bring in is Greenwood, but I'm going to hold fire until after GW4 because the transfer window needs to close without Sancho being in the squad.
No Wc, no chips, no hits. Keep calm and be patient.

My plan is to have Greenwood on the bench. With Auba-Salah-Mane as mid, I will most likely get rid of Mane/Salah for KDB after GW1. For me, Greenwood+KDB could be essential. Foden if he plays. Fernandes is expensive, and I am not sure if he will continue as he did before summer.

Nah. I'm gonna wait for a double gameweek for BB.

Nah, it's just a strategy to get rid of BB asap.

There will definitely be DGWs down the line. People planning a GW1 BB and GW2 WC are either going to have ghost teams by October or know something about covid that we don't.

Nailed with Werner?

Because lampard called him a championship striker

He is Chelsea’s 3rd choice forward. Basically previous season’s Batshuayi.

... but will he play.

Your definition of nailed on and mine differ greatly.

We're waiting to see if Villa get in a decent keeper.
