Mark Sutherns’ latest FPL team draft for Gameweek 1

Shaw and 4.0 keeper. 0.5 itb

Foster or Meslier depending on your feelings towards Gk rotation. Many 5.0's to choose. Otherwise a steady Edie Diaz with Foster

No Shaw, so that leaves you with 4.5m.

Sanchez rotates very well with Bachmann fixture-wise, but you could alternatively go with Foster & use the 0.5m elsewhere - or do a 5m/4m GK combo.

Shaw and 4.0

Use the 0.5 change to do Robertson to TAA

352 for me

Rotating 352 / 442

343 for me as things sit.

352

I have Jim, Antonio and Toney atm

Jim set-and-forget. Antonio and Toney are more mobile for bandwagons (can end up as a fifth mid by GW5, for instance)

343

3-5-2 as I prefer Harrison/Raphinha over toney

3-5-2, looks sexiest

Too much uncertainty around the forwards for me has forced me into 352. I went with that the starr of last season and it didn't go well. Can't allow that PTSD to influence the present though can I

B, but how long is Castagne out?

I like Dunk, did he play 90s mins in the friendly?

DCL coming back from injury - still a doubt

Nacho - rotation risk

Watford have not looked good preseason and villa and Brighton are being backed for CS potential

Prefer Jimenez

Jiminez, then swap Watkins to Jiminez once the fixtures swing

a
I'd have a look at wolves first, can get him at their fixture swing.

Maybe

By scary do you mean sh*t?

Clearly the latter two - amartey is a transfer waiting to happen

White Ayling

Thank you

what about Veltman instead of Ayling? Leeds dont have a good run

I don’t think so, I’d put money on them both out scoring every mid for that price and under, especially with VVD back

Not really but you'd want to be convinced clean sheets will be there. I'm not.

For me personally double any defence is risky and its even more risky when we don't know what sort of form the team is in.

I’m on both

Sanchez as the main keeper is nit the best choice

Why 352?

would it be worth downgrading Bruno to Greenwood and then upgrading Behrahama to Son?

Agreed - madness he’s being overlooked

Totally

Just keep that to yourself please.

Yep

Bit worried about 2nd sason syndrome with him but you'd assume if Leeds are scoring he's involved. I think there are better options first 4 weeks

Leeds dont have good fixtures so why Bamford?

(With Antonio in the 3rd slot)

Currently on this, but it will dissipate as soon as Lukaku arrives.

Do you think both will start?

Prefer Wilson... IF fit

I guess it depends how he’s doing on the offensive

you cannot drop a 7mil def!

Greenwood

if you have bruno then go for barnes but if not then greenwood

G

Greenwood for me

Ta

Definitely COULD be worth it

I guess we will know for sure in a few months

You have to consider the fact that you are not going to keep Robertson for whole season, whether he scores 200 or not is not much of relevance.

If you think he can outscore them till WC, then all good.

I fear for Southampton. They have taken the limited financial approach which should have been a rule for all football teams during Covid. Anyway they did not and I fear for them short term. Che Adams could score but JWP leaving will be the final nail in the coffin.

Agreed, plus if you don’t have Robbo - damn Pool games will be boring

If Deeney goes on pension or he plays right wing.

apparently Watkins plays on the left and Ings up top with Buendia in the hole behind them

as an Arsenal fan I suggest you go with White who is probably guaranteed starts

I have bruno I am am scared whether I should drop him and bring in greenwood and then upgrade either Benrahama or Buendia to Son

200+ points last season and only 10m.
No brainer for me
