    Assuming Jack Harrison goes back to Leeds:

    A) Sanchez, Shaw & Harrison
    B) Henderson, Lamptey & Raphinha

      Easy B for me, though A isn't bad either.

    Best 4.5 def after Fofana?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fofana is not best 4.5 def, dont understand the hype

        Then why don't you suggest something instead of being such a smarty!

      White, Ayling not bad choices in this price range.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is White going to end up on Arsenal?
        (Is that better or worse for clean sheets?)

          We will have to wait and see. I try to stay well away from ARS. Do like Saka though.

    3. Silecro

      Holding, Lowton, Coady...to name a few

    4. ☈☾

      Thanks all, looking for a solid option (still cant find it)

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lowton, Humptey Lamptey, Lowton.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      5 years, 1 month ago

      That bracket is as almost stacked as mid price strikers

      Ayling, Lamptey, White, Taylor, Coady, Fofana, Aarons - Honestly wasn't expecting any of them to be 4.5... 5.0 would have been fair based on how they priced defenders last year

      The problem is Justin, Coufal & Tierney at only 0.5 more...

      And then Shaw, Digne, Cresswell at only 0.5 more again...

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Do you think there's a 4.5 who could potentially match Shaw/ Digne/Cresswell? (Not Fofana)

        And according to you who would that be if yes?

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Lamptey with Brighton’s early fixtures I guess

        2. Zimo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Rotating Lamptey and Ayling

  3. 03farmboy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Havert or Gnabry or Sane?

    Who scores more for Germany?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      i hope Gnabry.

      1. 03farmboy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who you think gets most minutes?

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Gnabry & Havertz the full game unless it's fully in hand early - in which case i hope they've got returns.

    Is Masuaku a regular starter?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yup and random sub wth behrama

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks!

      Only if Moyes plays a 3/5 back, his stats are good when he does play LWB.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I agree with a regular going into next season.

      I expect(hope) WH to add depth in defense and attack - so Masuaka's position will depend on whether they play with him as a wing back or wide mid.

      I could easily see Fredericks getting more run - then add in Coufal, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna - plus reinforcements.

      I suspect Moyes will try out a few things in pre-season.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They should have a very early start with Europa qualifying so should be able to see before the league starts

      Not sure how West ham will handle Europe tbh... Not sure they've got the squad to compete on two fronts

      Definitely short at least one striker and a winger

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Agree - I'm worried about it. I hope we invest smartly.
        Would rather an early Euro-knockout and a 6-8 finish in the Prem again than a deep Euro-run and a bottom 10 finish (i think...i don't know....just not a relegation scrap please)

        Great comment thanks. Will take all into account and keep my eye on things.

        WH are already in the Europa proper first match day 16/Sep with no qualifier rounds required.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          True actually

          Plus its a smaller tournament this year with less teams & less games than previous years with the conference league

  5. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at their bracket, I'm going 4x Netherlands I guess.

    NL - Czechia
    Wales - Denmark

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yep. Italy v Belgium QF is going to be a killer - would have had 6-8 from those two if the fixtures were easier.

      those with the WC still left feeling pretty good i bet.

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yep :), especially I haven't done too badly without WC (53pts with Gosens(C) and CR7 to go).

  6. HollywoodXI

    WC success or failure comes down to Gnabry. C’mon lad!

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely in the same boat.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep! Cmon Gnabry

  7. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Bruno + Antonio + 4.5 def
    B. Kane + Sarr + Shaw

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A easily for me and what I have with Lamptey

    Has Euro fantasy been bugging out?, brother changed his (c) and it hasn't moved

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I subbed out Robertson and Dumfries 1 pointers last night to bring in my Germany players and when I checked earlier Robertson was still on the pitch and Rodriguez 2 pointer was subbed. Only down a point but I’m certain I took out the correct players.

  9. JJeyy

    How is that not a Pau Torres goal? It took deflection off keeper and defender but was on target surely thats a goal

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      After deflection off the keeper was it going in before the defender touched it?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      2. JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yes 100% on target

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but the second touch wasn’t a deflection! He literally kicked the ball into the net!

          1. JJeyy
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            yes clearly on target doesnt matter it skimmed the keeper or not was on target

            1. Paqueta Rice
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Of course it matters? Yes it was on target but the defender kicked it into his own net!! Completely changed the direction of the ball and everything it couldn’t possibly be a goal.

              1. JJeyy
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                o if the defender was not there it was still clearly going in

                1. JJeyy
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  no*

                2. Paqueta Rice
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  You are thinking the defenders touch was a second “deflection”. It wasn’t a deflection, he has kicked it into his own net, I’m not sure why you don’t understand this. Irrelevant that it was going on target before he has kicked the ball in? It’s not a deflection he has kicked it intentionally trying to clear it and it’s gone into his own net. Literally the definition of an own goal

                  1. JJeyy
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Shot on target by defender - keeper touches it but doesnt change direction and ball still going in net - defender touches it and doesnt change direction and still going in net. At no point is it going off target so defender touch changed nothing in the fact was heading in goal.

                    1. Paqueta Rice
                      • 5 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      “defender touches it and doesnt change direction” I think you are just trolling now. Have I taken the bait?

                      So for arguments sake let’s have a hypothetical situation here. You have the ball and there is nobody in goal or even in the box for arguments sake. You take a shot. As it’s rolling in a defender runs up and kicks the ball into the net. Not an OG because the shot was on target anyway????

                  It wasnt actually keep saved it and pushed it wide of the post

                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Until it hit the defender and went back towards goal

                    1. Paqueta Rice
                      • 5 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      The defender has literally swung a kick at it into his own net 😆

                  2. Paqueta Rice
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    It wasn’t going wide from the keepers save now to be fair.

                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Was curving in goal

      Geez, get over it mate...

      1. JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        for a tournament for money mate, could not care less aboout the official game

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You should be grateful for the assist tho
          Even the UEFA, official and referee state that goal is an own goal.
          How come a mere game could do against it.
          Just write your complain to UEFA to turn the own goal into Pau Torres's goal. Then the game will follow as well tho.

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    My first FPL draft. I imagine this is pretty template!

    Sanchez, Dubravka
    Trent, VVD, Shaw, Digne, Lamptey
    Salah, Bruno, Beundia, Gilmour, Bissouma
    Watkins, Antonio, Toney

    Gilmour looking like going on loan so should get minutes but would be bench fodder as I’d be playing mostly 433/523

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will you know how to rotate the 2 keepers?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez 1,2 & 4 and Dubravka 3 & 5.
        So to answer your question, no 😆

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You may be benching the CSs... 😀

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Or own goals ahaha

            1. Botman and Robben
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Mid is a little light but great D. I quit the rotation game 3 seasons ago. Never again.

              1. Paqueta Rice
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I did have Sanchez/4m but I don’t need the .5 unless I change Digne to Cancelo.

    2. schlupptheweek
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Having 2 4.5M midfielders is a bad idea given the volume of points there. You'd be better off switching one striker to a 4.5M but you have plenty of time.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That would allow me a 6.5-7.5 mid. Who do you reckon is worth it over Antonio/Watkins with their fixtures or Toney with his almost 50% ownership?

        1. schlupptheweek
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't worry too much about ownership for cheaper players before the season starts. I think your strategy of 3 mids and 3 strikers could work it's a fun risk. All 3 strikers are good picks in their own right.

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            With transfer and weeks until the season begins it is likely this will change a fair bit anyway! This was just the first draft.

    3. The chocolate leg
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is that a draft team or just your regular team?

      I like dubravka Sanchez though I think it would give me a headache trying to figure out who to play. Just prepare for inevitable unexpected CSs on the bench.

  11. iberiaballer
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Pau Torres is still the preferred option on side of Laporte even though he didn’t get the start today? He’s looked better than Eric Garcia in my opinion

    1. Licky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There was a suggestion he didn't start because he had already accrued a yellow, and it was a good opportunity to rest him anyway.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I assumed that too, then why bring him on at all?

        1. Licky
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That's something i've wondered as well, i'm really not sure. XD

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough if he’s not. Was a great set and forget - especially for knockout rounds to save money.

      Answer is no one knows obviously.

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spain first xi havent settle nicely. So many in and out
      Only 6 players start all the 3 group games. Unai simon, laporte, alba, koke, pedri, morata

  12. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    very early template-ish draft

    Sanchez (foster)
    TAA / Digne / Lamptey (fofana) (taylor)
    Salah / Bruno / Grealish / Sarr (bissouma)
    DCL / Watkins / Toney

  13. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What price do we think Sancho will be?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      9.5 I think/hope

  14. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide which game to watch.

    Head is telling me France - Portugal (better teams, but no fantasy players)
    Heart is telling me Germany (Gnabry(c), Havertz, Gosens)

  15. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    First rough draft and doesn't look too bad if I'm honest:

    Raya / Balcombe
    Dias / Digne / Coufal / Strujik / Lamptey
    Salah / Bruno / Buendia / Raphinha / Saka
    Ings / Watkins / Toney

  16. Stranger Mings

    Some key questions for you experts?
    1, Torres over forsberg
    2, go without ronaldo?
    3, Mahele best cheapie defender?
    4, Kimpi or Italian defender (except spina)

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1. Forsberg as nailed
      2. I would given the draw. Benzema, Lukaku and Malen are my 3
      3. Yep
      4. Probably Italian. French defenders highly priced with little attacking threat. My backline is:

      Spin / Dumfries / Alba / Meunier / Mahele
      Donna / Stek
