Mark Sutherns’ latest FPL team draft for Gameweek 1

Looks good, the obvious worry is no TAA.

Very nice would leave as is if you’re sure of no Trent

Greenwood and ings to Benrahma and Toney, and then Veltman to Trent.

Greenwood to Benrahma / Raph and Veltman to Chilwell / Digne?

I think brown glitter came out of Marks latest reveal. 🙂

The equivalent of unboxing videos. Embarrassing, and only teenagers watch them.

Misread "green" as "Gary" for a second.

If you can't get min 6.5 for forward - don't even bother, go with 2 only.

Just go for a midfielder then, plenty of options in that bracket.

I like roast beef on a Sunday.

Like the Tierney shout, but no Trent would worry me

Chilwell late back and will be giving you nightmares, Liverpool CB situation v dicey right now and wouldn't like to back them for cleans, Tierney forever crocked and some tough fixtures

Looks nice on paper but could easily be a costly flop

To start with yes.

With the ability to switch to 442

343 all the way, far too many good strikers this year to limit to 2

Starting with it, yes.

Yes to start with. Too few strikers fit and firing. Only want 2 for now. Sooo many mids.

Been on 3 5 2 for a few weeks now. Allows a better squad I think with a 4.5 non playing striker.

B all day

Martinez not "Twitter beautiful" but 39% owned. With choice of forwards it makes Villa backs less tempting.

They regressed a fair bit in the second half of the season. Clean sheets dried up when Grealish was out. But I’m starting with Martinez cause with those first three games I can see potential for 30 points there for him

You’d have to play them and their are more exciting options

Targett or coufal - got to go attacking with coufal

They play the Super Cup on Wednesday...

Ha, really? They're playing a friendly after the season starts? That's chaotic 😛

Who are they arranging in this midseason friendly - that would be odd

Slightly off-putting isn't it.

Should be able to go pretty full strength vs Villarreal on Weds but yes like many teams with a lot of Euros players they will take a few weeks to get going.

Much like City who actually believes in a proper rest after international competitions. England players will play in the friendly instead of being rushed in for the season opener

Then again, think them and City are the only ones with the squad depth to do it

No different to any other team. Chelsea has strength in depth. They’ll be fine. Strange strange post.

looks like he will be until the international break at least

Trust Digne after yesterday's drubbing and his mistake?

Having funds spread acroos Cou, Ay and ESR only to bench two of them each week isnt ideal

Would do Coufal to 4.5 and Barnes to Mahrez I think

The Barnes/Nacho question puts me off both.

5.8 pp90 and rogers golden boy
passing the eye test so looks like an early bandwagon

From yesterday's performance. He's definitely not nailed though.

Probably because of last night performance.

Fair point, always love the guy before injury. A placeholder for the likes of Raph, Foden etc.

True but he was on it in the CS and has been progressing game by game preseason

He's quality. Lovely price. Has had a long rest because of that injury. Worth the punt.

Owning him last year was nice. Always involved in attacks. Plus Leicester are new top 6.

Leaning towards him over Nacho now after Ings-gate

Out of Bamford, Toney, Nacho it looks like Rodgers meddling with their forwards might be the deciding factor & Nacho/Buendia become Barnes/Ings

The new darling of the community. Tread carefully: D

Great side!

Same as mine bar I have Wilson for Toney and two 4m DF’s

Greenwood, likely to start 2-3 games.

Greenwood, more likelt to play, better fixtures, plus I have "Die Jota, Die" tatooed on my chest after last season.

Thanks!

Greenwood more likely to start imo

I know Antonio, Bamford and DCL are in most templates.

I just feel it will be a season of switching between them trying to catch the form and avoid injuries for Antonio.

Almost exactly the same as my team, posted on last page. Naturally I’m a fan

He won't be available for GW1

Meslier does feel like the answer.

Isn’t it your bed time?

6.0 starting price I reckon

I would say £5.5m. Hasn’t shown enough to warrant any more?

No City either

That bench is asking for trouble unless you’re playing an early WC

The spots I’m tinkering with and not 109% sure on are:

Robbo
Sarr
Harrison
Toney

Atm I see Robbo as a 7.0 mid with great clean sheet potential with VVD. Plus given Trent/Salah ownership Pool games will pretty boring to watch without him.

If I pick Robbo, the other 3 positions kinda pick themself in terms of money restrictions.

Hi Kane hope u well, I’m going. 3-5-2 this year too but benrahma is on fire at mo

Ship Robertson or Sarr and Harrison out for Dallas/Cantwell/other 5.5 mid and Buendia. Wouldn't be putting much faith in those forwards, maybe downgrade a hitter mid?

You're brave with that strike force. Personally would swap Robbo/Trent to Dias or cheaper and upgrade a mid to Raph/buendia and upgrade a striker also

The 1 year badge says otherwise 😉

Hello mate. Have a great day. If I spot you I promise a reply.

You’ve probably ticked the hide replies box at the top of the page

Then everyone jumps on the template when the compulsory WC drops.

'When we have zero choices at CB I think Amartey is a great alternative" Smile.

Positive comments won’t stop them from signing a new CB

Cheers Rupert
