The best strikers for Sky Fantasy Football before Overhaul

I would downgrade Digne and upgrade defence. Everton dont look good and theres no DCL to swing crosses in to.

Good team, but would consider Ings over DCL. If you then downgrade Digne you could upgrade Toney to a 7.5

Amartey - Evans is out injured and Fofana broke his leg in preseason. He should start until Evans is back

Well Robertson news upcoming, but ankle injury looked fairly bad. Amartey: Fofana injured + Evans questionable for first few gameweeks give him a decent chance of starting.

You won’t have to hope though, you will have clarity because @ presser we will know how bad it is, shouldn’t be much guess work

So Amartey is a CB. Does he get forward at all?
I like the idea of fifth defender being a playing 4.0. Scares me to make 3rd or 4th defender a 4.0 though - so few routes out if it goes pear shaped.

Also thanks all!

A

probably B but think u can get away with a 4.0 defender for the last spot, not sure why u would need White Ayling + Coufal/Veltman if only playing 1 each week.

Worth it ?

transfer waiting to happen, don't see how he can be nailed and not really worth the risk as poor fixtures outside of GW1, 1 week punt at the most imo.

Good for GW1 but Lukaku impending and trickier fixtures are putting me off a bit.

Doesn't play enough. Ziyech has been on fire in preseason. I'd start him at 7.5 against Palace. If he sucks, easy swap to Greenwood, Jota, Gundogan, Barnes, Pepe etc

B. double jota 🙂

B

B

I have A but Greenwood instead of Barnes for utd attacking cover

Jota twins FTW

A- just

pretty sure yes. wasn't in squad for final preseason game

B probably

A for me...

DONT BENCH BOOST GW1

Yo Mama

3M in the bank?

Save BB for a DGW.

Bench boosting foster, Tsim, Amartey and browhill on a SGW is a crazy idea for someone who’s been playing the game as long as you
You’re not in the ‘to get rid of BB chip’ brigade are you?

BB1 might as well have 2 goalkeepers and spread the wealth round a bit.

I'd want a 2nd playing keeper if BB.

strong team, don't see any problems

Front line has hamstring injury written all over it

certainly a few different options in there. do think Vardy is very overpriced but can understand him as an early placeholder for Kane i guess. Defence looks awfully weak to be honest and I would be worried as to how you would get any 5.5 priced+ defender in easily early on, especially with you already having transfers booked in.

I like it, it's different!

Bamford and Ings is a great front line.

Not sure about Mings mind. I think Bertrand, Coufal, Matt Ritchie offer more attacking threat!

maybe one too many uncertainties from the off for me personally. I like a punt but wouldn't want to potentially lock myself into an early wildcard with so many. do like the salah mane double up tho have considered it myself.

Torres is a clever one and Dele could become raphinha when his fixtures clear. I would prefer DCL to Bamford.
In a few gameweeks you can switch Mane to KDB or Havertz etc.

Bamford. At least he is nailed from the off I don't think Grealish is an option from GW1

Bamford

I like Bamford personally (see above). Thinks he's well priced this season. As is Grealish provided he plays...would prefer to give him a few weeks though.

None are nailed but if i had to pick, id got for Jota for the fixtures. Though Greenwood will probably play more minutes than him in the first 10 gameweeks and fixtures are comparable. But the Norwich fixture GW1 gives Jota the edge.

I'm on Gundogan personally

don't have any. Salah Bruno Mahrez Raph (Brownhill).

do like Jota early on but already have 3x LIV

Don't have one but I like Greenwood.

TAA in twice? 😀 surely a waste of budget

TAA is no Kante mate! 🙂

With 2 potential rotation risks Jota / Greenwood your bench looks weak if you need someone to play.

Buendia has a small injury and I'd go for Raphinha over Alli until he's proven he's worth investing in again

uncertain whether Buendia is nailed for GW1, rest looks fine though apart from the Alli punt which I don't get myself but if u like it then I respect u going for it and at least its only the 1 risky pick and not a whole team.

Regards to bruno, I don't like the use of 'cover' but I would not try and go without and spread the funds personally. It makes it too difficult to move to say a Kane/Lukaku later on in 2 moves and even then Sancho might not start GW1 and don't really think Greenwood can come close to Bruno tbh so that isn't really a discussion.

Meditate on it as a purification

That's why Gundogan is at such a good price point 😉

im alright with it as my ghost team is gonna have five of them.

B might outscore to be honest depending on Gundo mins but I think I wouldn't want to go without Bruno for structure reasons so would have to vote A.

Maybe good for couple of first GW's. Armatey and Tsimikas are transfers waiting to happen.

playing today

Played vs bologna and today

Brownhill is a nailed centre mid not bundles of attacking threat by any means but does have a share of the free kicks.

apparently Gilmour was on some set pieces at the last Norwich friendly

he's a box to box type mid but more in the holding, square ball mould than you'd like for an asset, still should be nailed at 4.5 and has a chance of odd attacking return

Brownhill I know literally nothing about besides he did get a pre season brace for what it is worth

A late thank you for both 😆

I'd probably wait on Lukaku until my first WC or GW7, whichever comes first

happy to wait and see on Rom, fixtures aren't enticing early so in no rush

see what happens with Kane first.

OK, dias and pukki > shaw and toney for me but if this is the way you want to go then it's cool, love the midfield

greenwood until we know how nailed jota is

Both to start with
