Got me excited for a minute there - thought Aguero had come out of retirement and signed for a prem club

Liverpool and City both. My intension is to have 6 keepers, and focus on transfers for the rest of the squad.

Yep, Diaz will be one (as long as no crazy price hike)

Depends greatly on price.

In the 6.5m range - Martinelli, Trossard, Wilson, Hwang something like that. We'll see.

Arsenal with their fixtures

Going by livefpl pricing it will be Eriksen and Bruno G accompanied by Salah and Son

Harvey Barnes
Jack Harrison
Joelinton (!)
Grealish

Depends on prices. Maddison, Saka, Mount etc.

Would he start ahead of Antonio though?

You don't think TAA is nailed?

My current draft is all CB’s, VVD being one of them

I’m with you on this one

Zambian witch doctor says first price reveals start tomorrow

It's a good dead team yes

Looks very nice with just one premium, doesn't it

Think so, also Haaland

I did a similar 'no transfer' draft to this:

Sanchez (Steele)
TAA/Robbo/VVD/Cancelo/Dias
Saka/Raph/Odegaard/Kulu (DLuiz)
(H)aaland (Gelhardt/Davis)

Will check back in to see how they're getting on when we break for the World Cup!

Does look good that team!

Nice team, but you come up 8mio short if the predicted prices are correct!
F.e.: Bowen 8.5, Mount 8.5, Kulusevski 8, Saka 8, Haaland 12.

No, those levels of details are all erased

How about the 8m midfield price point? Will be so many good options there this season I can see myself wanting: Bowen, Saka, Mount, Maddison, Kulu etc. If you already have that price point in your team they are much easier to get to. Just really not sure having the 3 premiums is worth it if you then have to include options like Solanke, Eriksen. Bruno G etc.

4,5
7,5 - 7 - 5 - 4,5
13 - 12 - 6 - 6
12 - 6
4 - 4,5 - 4,5 - 4

100,5 I get with my math... So not possible?

Eriksen still unknown where he's going tho. And Solanke is Solanke. Unlikely he pulls a Bamford and scores heavily because Scott Parker is not gung ho attack attack like Bielsa and besides Bournemouth has horrible fixtures to start with. Doherty also risky considering Spurs are looking for a new RWB. U also said the other day u don't want Raya because of second season syndrome so why have Henry.

5.0 cheapest FWD is an interesting move

Nice spot, weird they haven’t promoted it anywhere. Hope they do a full season game too and not just halves.

Also, if their prices are any indication and they are, then every fpl team draft has been a waste of time like we didn’t know already.

Sadly it’s supply and demand. Plenty of fans willing to pay …

With arsenal you do think Wtf

Haag doesn't really play with a number 10. Will be interesting to see over preseason

Posted this to a comment on a different article earlier:

I think Bruno is going to have to alter his game quite a lot to settle into a position under ETH. I know he excels in transition with speculative passes/runs but naturally with that style, while he can create a lot of chances, he also gives the ball away a lot of times every game. ETH will want to focus on possession and building up attacks from deep with large numbers of players in attack. The rest of the team spending each game attempting to do that while Bruno blasts the ball back to the opposition leaving the team extremely vulnerable to counter-attacks just isn't going to work.

It’s not working for you? I got ID 1,712

I mean any rough guess?

This Thursday

I thought it was good too. I was surprised by some of them.

Ramsdale
Toma Gabriel White Tierney
Party Tielemans
Saka Odegaard Raphina
Jesus

I still think Raphinha will end up at Barcelona and will ignore all this speculation for now. Saka would be nailed in my view but Jesus would be rotated and misses GW8 after Brazil plays for certain.

Yeah Mr unproven is the premium to go for not Mr Consistent

Have all them but with Robertson instead of Trent

It's tight, but just about squeezable...
4.5
TAA/Cancelo/5/4.5/4.5
Salah/Son/6.5/6
Haaland

(4.0/4.5/4.5/4.5)

Pretty imbalanced though!

I've got that. It enables a powerful defence.

Look to the promoted teams, maybe Southampton, Brighton, Palace.

Even if we don't know yet who will be this season's Dennis/Broja/Nketiah do you think £5.5M will be enough for the first benched forward in a 451/541 formation?

If Kulusevski is one of the 8m mids, the latter.

Not saying I know what the [right] answer is, but you have to consider that Son will be a captaincy option about 75% of the time, while the 8m mids will be flyers at best for C on any given week

I think premium defenders you don't have from Liverpool and City will outscore Jimenez and Watkins, and equivalently-priced defenders will outscore Wissa and Gray.

Who were you?

Mark … is that you ? 🙂

Is that you Harwin Don Vumboldt?

It'll more often be subbed off after getting no joy from the oppo defence. But also bear in mind the wingbacks who are subbed ON against tiring defences.

I've decided to play my chips in the DGWs at the back end of the season, after I've played 2 wildcards. So.....

So far I have made only one fpl team decision and that is to draft my team when the game releases

Eduardo never really recovered from that broken leg v Birmingham. Pity as he could have been a great striker and won many titles at Arsenal.

Not a palace fan but that seems like what happened, in fact initially it was edouard fighting it out with benteke and the assumption was once edouard is settled he'd take over and get a good run but he was hit and miss, so they tried mateta and he did better than them both! They spent money on edouard so they won't just give up on him but don't be surprised if Mateta gets good minutes I think the cost of mateta was like 9 million and edouard was 14 million so not too much between them

Mostly decent, but 2 issues:

Fulham's early fixtures.
Not sure if either of your cheap defenders are nailed (doesn't AIN compete with a now-fit Jonny?)

You got the memo too then

I like it. Any bench?

Haaland's there. 12m.
Might need to click on next page or use filter.

Doesn't the site usually go into a holding state prior to going live? A bit like after the transfer deadline passes.

Giggs is a terrible man, overrated footballer and general scum bucket.

Price, mostly. Ragabolly has defenders at 4.5 and they have nice opening fixtures. I suspect few will be left in final drafts.

Yes the fixtures are kind, agreed.

Not sure I'd go near Ait-Nouri, especially with the 5 sub rule. I can see him getting taken off early, especially in games they're chasing. He was far from nailed last season too.

Coady will be 5.0m I expect. Not sure about Kilman price.

Good fixtures but I agree and am not convinced at all. They vastly outperformed their xGc in that good run (a lot of that thanks to Sa) but the second-half of the season was closer to what was expected. I think Lage did a good job with them but they need a fair few signings, not least a CM to replace Moutinho (and another if Neves leaves) and a striker unless Silva can get his shooting boots on. Although I actually was impressed by his general play when I saw him, but they need someone to score goals.

Eriksen / De Jong / Fernandes looks a seriously unbalanced midfield on paper. Can’t see how they’ll make that work.

Don’t understand why United aren’t after that solid CDM they’ve needed for years. Bissouma would have been ideal.

Still in the FFS sidebar and members area.

no worries my grandad had put my desktop on 200% lol
