Mark Sutherns’ latest FPL team draft for Gameweek 1

That was my thought from the game, it was just wierd how long Rodgers left Iheanacho on the bench.

Daka looked a really good alternative to Vardy, with Vardy himself looking decent

If I were Rodgers i would pick Nacho all day long. but i am not so yesterday put Nacho from my team to the watchlist.

Looks solid.
The only question left to answer is whether you feel like tipping in an extra mil or 2 in upgrading one of your 4.5s to a premium, high risk high reward type player (e.g. chilwell, cancelo). This only really becomes doable if you don't have Bruno

Great player, loved him at Ajax, just not nailed enough for his price IMO

Mount CHO Lukaku Pulisic Ziyech Havertz Werner all competing for 3 spots, Mount and Lukaku probably nailed for most and Havertz/Werner Tuchel favourites too so Chelsea attack is an absolute minefield to be ignored initially in FPL IMO.

Is this true? Surely Nacho starts then

No, why’d you ask?

V different prices

Currently i have all three!

With mount not playing in preseason I suspect he might especially with 5 goals in preseason

Great options, occasional rotation so will need a strong bench if you have both. Long term I will go Stones over Cancelo though.

Both great - cancelo will start the season but chills is more nailed long term

Thanks both. Not seeing either in many drafts... could be great early differentials.

Had both of them in my team for over a week before I decided that I want to shoehorn Bruno back in.

A defence of TAA - Cancelo - Chilly to start the season looks lovely. Good 4.5 subs are needed.

Long term, prefer Stones over Cancelo as he is better value.

I had them both but then City and Chelsea don't have favourable fixtures to start with and Chilwell won't play GW1 which is the one you'd want him in while City look like they won't start well defensively this season just like the last. I personally will be getting both later though. Chilwell in GW7 and Cancelo in GW8.

H.Barnes if you already have TAA

No Bruno

No salah

Forgot about Lukaku being an option. How much is he go8ng to be 11m?

No Lukaku

Drop one of Bruno/Salah (probably Bruno) and rotate Lukaku and Kane based on fixtures?

Hate the idea of rotating premiums, but I don't see any other way. I will probably pick one of Kane/Lukaku and stick with them.

They would cost you 48 mil, meaning you will have to complete the squad (11 more players) with 52 mil..

It means 5 (five) 5.0 players and 6 (six) 4.5 mil players.. It is possible I would say..

Pretty templates I would say, so it's gtg

Not worried about Watkins without Graelish being pants?

Antonio on fire preseason and am wondering if I can elbow him into my own team.
I like Sanchez but over the whole season I fancy Bachmann just that bit more and don't want to spend on replacing GK.
I'd say you're well and truly good to go!
I trust White to do well and has been in many of my provisional drafts, but like everyone else, I'm looking for the differentials. And that's Ajer for me.

B i think

I don't follow sorry. Does A imply that you don't have Salah in your team?

Rodrigo is a very interesting pick, and I do fancy him to score big this season. He is a watch list player for me though, don't know about starting with him.

Defence needs strengthening and getting TAA in.

Monitor Toney as he has a knock currently.

I really like your midfield, but you need to drop someone in order to upgrade the defence. Love the Firpo pick as well, hope it pays off that early on!

Good to go

It’s going to depend on performance, in a situation where he comes in and Leicester have a great start defensively and as a team he could play for the foreseeable

If he comes in and has a stinker then they will replace him with a new signing or from squad

So far so good 1 CS B city

Thank you The Senate,

I'd got Amartey as 4.0 bench sitter. I hope he can now have on to his starting position.

Everyone said the same thing about James Justin last season. He kept his place until he was injured because he earned it

Rodgers said Fofana is out until 2022 so potentially up to then

Stop trying to phish!

Hard to call, gun to my head I say he’s benched

Tierney has some tough earlyn fixtures, I'd switch to Coufal.

Injury doubt over Wilson, Antonio would be my pick.

Everywhere else is solid.

Just my opinion 🙂

Praying for you jacky lad

Will you have double Pool defence? Not much of a differential otherwise.

Nice team tbh

Nice team,

I'd have Buendia for their first three fixtures, then swap for Raphinha.

Amarty and Gilmour

Thanks for the info. How was Rodrigo?

Harrison or Raphinha play? If so, how?

Firpo injured?...bugger

B

A

Vydra and Barnes will leech his minutes

BB

Henderson will not be fit for the start of the season. DDG Will start the season in goal.

Firpo is injured, Rodrigo plays as 10

Thanks for the Henderson info, and also just saw firpo news.
I was steering clear of Bamford, but.....

Son dont have kind fixtures first many gw

Lindelof is much better if you want a Scandinavian comparison.

Mane over Salah is ballsy
