    FPL team with 3 premium mids. Will probably not go that route but it doesnt look awful as i anticipated it will:

    Sanchez
    Robertson, Keane, Coufal, Fofana
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Harrison
    Antonio, Toney

    Foster, Coady, Gilmour, Davis

    1. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Also going 4-4-2 mostly, think one city is needed for the Norwich game, got raph instead of Harrison

  2. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Captain :
    A. Sterling
    B. Damsgard
    C. Schick

    1. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably B

  3. ManUtdFan977
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Kane or sterling

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you pick 2 to start the season with from this lot:

    1. Antonio
    2. Watkins
    3. Nacho

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      All have baggage;
      Nach: Rotation
      Watkins: Rotation
      Antonio: Fitness

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Watkins rotation with who?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Abraham

      2. vova
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Watkins won't be rotated as things stand I think

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          As it stands, true. But Tammy could change things

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Watkins is a far better player than Tammy. Though I feel Tammy's signing will improve Watkins even more, which will make Watkins even more nailed on.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Doubt Tammy would be prepared to leave Chelsea just to sit on another bench though.

              1. R.C
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                Which is why he will end up at West Ham

            2. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              It might work if Watkins plays right flank

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                Left flank?

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Too early to say. I've got 2 and 3 in my draft but I'm concerned about Villa bringing in Tammy and how ready the new Fox is.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Tammy will be a concern.

        New Fox won't be ready at least for 2-3 months I feel

    3. Stimps

      1
      2

  5. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Don't have Kane today, Damsgaard gets subbed early, so down to Sterling and maehle for captain, thoughts?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Taegugk Warrior
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Why damsgard subs early…?

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Norgaard came on for him at the hour mark

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        He's good.

  6. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Bachmann | Foster
    TAA | Dias | Fofana | Lamptey | Williams
    Salah | Bruno | Raphinha | Harrison | Bissouma
    Cavani | Antonio | Iheanacho

    Any thoughts on this bunch guys?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      2 leeds mids?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        At those prices that wouldn't scare me at all.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Not for me in first 4 weeks

          1. Jonesfromthere
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            I think they’re great value and they’ll be well rested with no euros for most of their players. Also considering Sarr, though.

          2. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            It's the defence I'd lay off at the start. I've got Meslier, Llorente, Ayling waiting in the wings. But those midfielders can and do score against anyone.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I like it but I don't like the Leeds double up, always a chance they regress a bit especially goals wise as teams defend better against them, not saying I don't like their players as picks but I wouldn't double up right away, fixtures aren't good either

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, yeah I see your point. I think the prices given their attacking style is hard to ignore but we’ll see.

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Curious to know why you've picked Bachmann

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Watford had a great defensive record in the championship, he’ll get a lot of save points etc too. Sanchez is the common pick but he won’t get as many saves/bonus.

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I was thinking the same but just not sure if they can replicate the same in PL

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Raphinha and Harrison were two of the first names in my team and I will definitely be starting with both. They look like the two most under-valued players in the game.

    Morning All

    What's your opinion on using 'points predictor tools' for fpl?

    I'm look at the one on FFH for defenders and Dias looks a no brainer of a pick really especially compared to digne who's proving really popular

    also seems a lot less between taa and robbo than is made out and total points last season would suggest the same

    so just wondering how much weight you give this ? mitigating circumstances of course

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I dont look at any pts predictions. My guess is just as good as anyone else. Lottery.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        surely it's based on stats so not really a guess? although I understand there is a lot of variance

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Last seasons stats yes. Means nothing once the season starts. Injuries, different tactics etc etc. Just look at Salah pts predictions in FFS members area. Nearly always the highest predicted score week in week out. 🙄

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Same here. Changes in managers, changes in playing personnel, changes in tactics, fans back and so on. Whatever you start off with, chances are you'll be wanting to wildcard it all out by GW2.

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Which stats?

          Do you know what the mechanics behind a points predictor are? Is past data an indicator of future performance? How much of performance comes from tactics, player condition or natural ability? Can stats track any of these accurately for an individual?

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      They’re a nonsense imo - just another snake oil revenue/click generating tool - if anyone could predict what points players are going to score over short time horizons every bookie in the world would be out of business

      Sometimes they’ll be right, sometimes they’ll be wrong - like every other guess

      The difference with predictors is - you get to give someone your money, your personal information, or clicks in return for the guess

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t use it all. I base my judgements on what I see and my own research

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Loadabollo#. Just like the FDR that some like to use as a guide for so called difficult fixtures. They predict a team's chances of a result. Doesn't mean they couldn't get a cleansheet or an inform form player get some attacking returns.

  8. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    My attempt at a balanced side (previously had 3 big hitters)

    Sanchez
    TAA Digne Shaw
    Salah Fernandes Raphinha Smith-Rowe
    DCL Antonio Watkins

    Foster Fofana Lamptey Bissouma

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Looks nice, though as an Arsenal fan I can tell you that ESR isn’t nailed. Especially as we’re in the market for a number 10.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah he’s the one, but have 3 playing subs, two of which are pretty good options. Feels like ESR is the only real weak point?

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      who was the 3rd big hitter?

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Had KDB in a 4-4-2

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          oof, he's exp

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah

            Henderson
            TAA Lamptey Fofana Ayling
            Salah Fernandes KDB Raphinha
            Watkins Toney

            Foster Bissouma Williams Obafemi

            1. No Professionals
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Really relies on someone like Williams being a 4m starter somewhere

            2. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I couldn't live with that bench, personally.

              1. No Professionals
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                The upside is that the 3 big hitters give you a lot of early season flexibility.

                A reasonably priced sancho will drive a shift to sancho + 2 of salah, KDB and Kane I think

    3. vova
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      very similar to mine but I went with Toney and Buendia over Antonio and ESR

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I like it.
      I would consider downgrading one of your £5.5m defenders so that you just rotate in 1 of your 3 x £4.5m defenders each week and upgrade Smith-Rowe by £1m.

    Fairly up to date info below. Best of luck to all today, including England 😉

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Toney has ridiculous ownership right now at ~38%

    Is he really that good or just the only pick at that price point?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      For me he's a reasonable punt, much preferable to a non-playing 3rd striker. If he doesn't start on fire, he can be my 8th midf/fwd and sit on the bench for a week or two. And there doesn't seem to be anything between him at 6.5 and an 8.0 striker. He basically enables a decent overall squad.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Smashed in ridiculous numbers last year to be fair to him

      Penalties mean he can score from nothing in any game

      Friday night lights also

      I have him plus 1.0 ITB at the minute as a hedge - easy switch if he flops, easy hold if he bangs

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Who are your front 3?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I'm currently on DCL, Watkins/Nacho, Toney.

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            ditto

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Watkins, DCL, Toney ATM

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            But they’re also the 3x highest owned forwards so it’s not a unique forward line or anywhere near it

            All make great sense for GW1 the way things stand

  11. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts al best 3 from Denmark & Czech?
    Denmark: maehle, dams & dolberg?
    Czech; schick, soucek, coufal?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Maehle, 2 out of Hojberg/Dams/Braithewaite

      Czech: Same as yours

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Dolberg will probably come on from the bench, but yeah Mæhle/Damsgaard certainly best two/nailed to start.

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I also gone for Coufal as well 🙂

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers just thinking ahead for my next transfers

  12. zdrojo187
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    1st Draft...

    Sanchez
    Robertson,Digne,Targett
    Salah,Bruno,Son,B.Traore,Sarr
    Richarlison,Watkins

    Foster,Amartey,4.5,4.0

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      not my cup of tea tbh

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nobody could accuse you of going template!

  13. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    What do you guys think will happen with Martial?

    First I thought they'd sell him but now I feel they should keep him for one more season and see how he does. Good player who can play on LW/CF - with us not signing a CF this season he can fill in the CF role whenever Cavani has to be rested.

    Also feel he will only get better with Sancho coming in. And hopefully he can fix his attitude (this should apply to Pogba as well)

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      He certainly needs to fight for his future. General perception that he doesn't put in the graft to fulfil his potential. Now he isn't even close to guaranteeing a first team spot - it's up to him now. If he underwhelms as Cavani's understudy, Greenwood is waiting to pounce.

  14. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Good morning all!!! Who to captain???

    A- Harry
    Or
    B- Raheem

    Cheers everyone!!! Come on England!!!!!!!!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling is sensible

      Maguire/Kane are punty

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Great analysis mate! Very true!! Currently on Sterling!!

  15. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Arteta loves him. Klopp loves him. Bielsa loves him.
    Who am I talking about and why are Arsenal getting such bad press?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ben White?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        And the second part of my question?
        I have seen a few special players developing over last season and Ben White is surely one of them.
        I liked Foden's comment at the Euros camp saying he was surprised just how good he is!

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Interesting if Arsenal go into the season with two nailed 4.5 central defenders.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Are you thinking Holding in a back 5?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Yeh, the possibility of Tierney joined by White and Holding. Of course, White would be enough.

  16. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Any idea who Spurs would bring in to replace Kane?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

  17. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Twist Alba 5 pts as captain to one of Kane/Sterling/Shaw, or Schick?

  18. iberiaballer
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Is Shaw nailed? I have Alba as captain as of now with 10pts & I’m highly considering switching to Shaw. My other options are Kane, Schick, Mæhle, Grealish, Pickford, Hojbjerg. Personally I think it’s more likely that England keep a clean sheet than Kane gets on the score sheet
