Can we trust Spurs’ FPL defenders with appealing fixtures this season?

Don't know much about him can someone give a summary

How's your backside 😉 shaping up Bonimus?

Agree on Soucek, he's currently anchoring my side

So do you expect Soucek to score more than 3 points per game?

I reckon a Leeds 4.5 will match that.

not put off by the fixtures? will you play him every week?

Agreed mbp love him as an option - rarely pick a 5m mid.

He's absolutely dynamite at timing runs to meet a cross from deep. Can see a good 6-8 goals and a few assists and let's face it that's not to be sniffed at for his price. He's taken pens for his previous club too.

With that peachy first fixture too, a real blessing from the FPL gods

I have him strongly in mind for GW8 onwards as a potential playing 4/5th mid to enable my team but those fixtures just put me off unless I desperately need cash early doors.

looks nice and realy designed for GW1 but am wonder did u plan what to do with city and united

Don’t see too much wrong with starting the season with a non-playing 3rd FWD.

I’m thinking so too. Not bad fixtures and could be some attacking returns.

Is my placeholder to go double Liverpool after a few weeks

This. Surely an indication that Jose is favouring 3 atb or is Doh going to play in a back 4?

If mourinhio parks the bus Doherty could lose goal/assist threat

I wonder if Mourinho wants to move to a 3.

Very, very strange move to buy Doherty to play as a RB in a 4.

Screenshotted before it gets hidden

Both are attacing fullbacks. Doherty knows how to find his man while Aurier is probably in it to find whoever he can. Aurier is not a disciplined player.

Could it not also be that Aurier doesn’t have the mind set to make all those shots or provide the same passes that Doherty does

Doherty May just be more clinical in attacking play that Aurier

I don’t think Messi will do anything other than completely take the p*** in that city team.

I see him transitioning easily if he does come, that City team is free flowing.

I think he might end up staying though

Disagree. He has taken the piss out of plenty of our top 5/6 in the champions league on plenty of occasions. It will be a walk in the park for him, especially in that City team

He could play in any league/team. Generational player.

Looks good but with no games for 5 of your players gw 1 you're gonna be playing catchup

For those who weren’t around or can’t remember, here’s a taste > https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/12/23/gameweek-18-best-punts/

Of course I remember- you did a wonderful job. I hope the column makes a comeback!

Cedric....rotation risk

😀

Mourinho has started growing his hair again. It is a sign.

Yep. Most mugs can go three years without falling to pieces.

VVD’s stats for last season also wrong

Says he has 4 goals instead of 5 in the “expected” section

been like this for a while

Still no FPL points added to comparison tool 🙁

I don't understand the appeal of Richarlison when you've got so many proven point scorers around that price point.

Ferguson, Johnson

Troll

So many transfers lost!

Negative differential that is. OR elevator straight to the bottom.

Imagine picking 4 players from from City.

Pep will have to divulge his mobile number.

Let’s try it the other way round. I pick Messi

Werner and then Havertz when he signs.

I've been convinced now that they'll both start but personally feel Werner will contribute to a higher % of Chelsea's goals whereas ziyech will potentially split the rest with a bunch of players.

Either way think Chelsea are going to score a lot.

Dunno but my highest ever rank was 3 seasons ago, OR 13 going into GW38

Somewhere around 40k I think just before lockdown

74

999 😎

9.5k

Rather a 4.5 mid on your bench than a 5.0 mid in your starting eleven 😉

Waiting for the haul in GW1

You know he is in the England squad, right?

I tend to agree. This sounds like sort of the opposite of talisman theory, which I've never liked as it just seems like a way of restating the obvious -- i.e. a team's highest scorer is more likely to continue being their highest scorer than other players.

I look at the fixtures before any other theory. Then I usually pick the topscorer / penalty taker of that the best fixture team. Try to only pick mids and fwds from a top half team, so that possibly overlaps with your high scoring team theory.

FA agenda against Liverpool. Did all they could to throw them out of cup last season and now give the Manchester teams a further week off

International matches

AWB, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw
