Don’t do it

I wouldn't dare going Salah-less.

And me.

Can’t risk him not going ballistic against Fulham on opening weekend.

Mane (C) v Leeds 2020 opener

Scarred for life

i don't think whatever bonus he's on will necessarily make him score more, as he was always pretty greedy to begin with which is why he has been such a great FPL asset,

i was planning on going without him too, partly because he's been mostly poor in 2022, but mostly because i've grown to hate owning him, i triple capped him in gw 26 last year for a great score and a massive red arrow, the dgw too after that i capped him out of fear when he got 2 blanks when i had other good options available, so i don't get much benefit from owning him and he makes the game less fun for me personally so i think this year Nunez + around 3mil extra to spend is more enticing

Yeah this is me now too. Nothing to do with bonuses or anything but it's simply that he's gone from a position where a lot was up in the air to a position where he's dedicated himself to the club for the next few years and so there are no more worries or stresses about it.

and it's only 2 links in Tomi and White, possibly Gabriel too. At 5.5 you're heading towards premium defences though and Arsenal isn't one.

KDB is the one that's overpriced imho. Tailor made for 11m with Bruno at 10.5

Over Dias at the same price?

I was thinking Laporte would be 5.5, 6 max given Dias is 6

First 3 should be common enough.
4 - not at all. I think we'll see a range of 1 (Haaland), 2 and 3 striker formations.
5 - semi-common, not template due to their form late last season and many good 4.5 options elsewhere, as we've seen at Brentford and Brighton.

It'll probably end up whatever those who shout the loudest and most often make it.

I guess I’m not template then,.
1. Nope. Only 1, Saka or 2 with Jesus. But not 3
2. Nope. 1 attacker either Toney or Jesus
3. Nope. Probably going Son over Salah
4. Nope. 1 striker and 2 fodder
5. Nope. Defense of MCI, LIV, CHE and TOT

If Cucurella goes to City he wont be assured of starts, and would waste a city slot

thats the first lanzini,jolly good player

Damn good.

It is excellent

Worth considering that 3 premiums is really prohibitive... iirc there were quite a few teams that went without Bruno, spreaded the cash and outscored a lot of Bruno VC teams back in GW1 last season

Very nice

Similar to my draft before price releases, very good!

This looks really good if you can find a £5.0 that scores around 100 points.

At 5.0 can you not just go Dewsbury-Hall?

Raphinha on the other side might be considerably cheaper. Chelsea have a lot of incoming business to do - I'd wait and see.

Few I imagine every1 2 scared about Salah and Haaland.

No thanks

Not at all- his finishing wont get better, and wont be in as strong a team.

Sancho is at 350k/w net? Wow.

KDB, Haaland, Salah, Son, Kane, not that many imho, similiar to previous seasons I would say.

Torturous repetition compulsion

See if there's a Foster type lurking

Yes interesting one

Rotating Raya and Sanchez is nightmare. Having backup gk isn't bad idea, but Sanchez could be tv risk with those fixtures.

Assuming Mitro is £6.5m i'd say £20.0 is slightly too much to have on your bench.

Is Undav nailed?

I like the Neto punt.

Nope

No

No, not yet. But out of 6 million managers some may later.

If ASM becomes a midfielder again

I hope this is a joke

No

Yes, I think they'll both be good options during the season, as long as they are both under 6. Good shout.

Goalinton is playing box to box, more defensive. He won't score or assist many. But i think of him everyday

ASM could be a good shout GWs 6 - 12... all of his 12 attack returns came against teams outside of the top8.

Everyone would jump from Haaland to Ronaldo if you are correct.

Doubt he suffers from Sturridgeosis.

Gw2

GW16.

He'll be out for a month and be back by GW17.

Easy switch to Bamford if he does

Where’s your old man

Saw him at Anfield. Played amazing - lost 4-0

Don’t really like it I just can’t explain why

It’s missing the 3 highest scoring players of this upcoming season.

Other than that looks decent

Early wildcard waiting to happen for me tbh when Salah and Haaland haul in the early weeks with great fixtures

Triple Liverpool defence???

Difference is Haaland has no competition. If you drop Haaland you change formation - drop Grealish and little changes

Haaland’s dufferent gravy son

Different scenario. Haaland cost a lot more than the disclosed fee.

Don’t think he’s worth it? Then don’t get him, innit. Simples.

Well you gotta play a forward. So spend money on one.

Yes - you can make decent points cheaply in midfield but you need to spend money to get returns up front so do so …

Yep, it shows you should only have 1 forward and he should be an expensive one.

Haaland ownership will surely be 50% or so GW1.

Toney and 2 fodders

City trying to help Chelsea take points off Liverpool, interesting tactic

who?

What - young Özil or 'professional' gamer part-time footballer Özil?

I suspect Areola will be 5.0 alongside Fabianski.
Unclear who will emerge as number 1 and so I feel like FPL Towers will make both 5.0 just in case.

I think a bench of Luiz, Greenwood & Archer might be too thin...especially as not sure if Gray & D-H are really guaranteed starters.

Mac Allister and Wissa at the moment are my favorites revealed.

I like Bissouma

DBH if Tielemans leave

I’d say the changes to prices from last year reflect actual experience from last year and only that. That’s why a lot of our favourites look cheap - because we are adding in - expected stats, transfers, expected transfers, player development, recovery from injury etc etc

The one that surprises me is Mahrez - I know minutes are a concern but he appears to be minutes-proof (not that that’s a word!)

If Sterling goes to Chelsea it almost immediately makes Grealish more appealing at this revealed price, no?

Mahrez and Grealish very tempting, but without any pre-season context yet, they almost seem like supplementary picks to Haaland. Their assists will most likely end up with him.

Not yet.

I would expect nothing less from you.

Have a guess why that is.

Thats generous of them. Should have been higher
