Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout can now get their own complimentary Transfer Planner to help with their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) preparations for the 2022/23.

Rob and James, the brains behind the Championship Manager FPL game, have relaunched their Transfer Planner for the new season, exclusively for Fantasy Football Scout subscribers.

The planner allows you to enter your FPL team as it currently is and then to set to work on what you would like it to become over the next few weeks, taking account of transfers, captaincies, chips and formation preferences.

The road ahead is kept up to date for you via a link to the Fantasy Football Scout Season Ticker and, if you think we’ve been a little too harsh on the Wolves attack or not given the Southampton defence enough credit, you can tweak the ratings to your satisfaction.

HOW TO USE IT

Get your FPL Transfer Planner for 2022/23 1

To get started, you fill in your player selections in the dropdown at the top of each player box on the Planner tab. Typing in the first few letters of a player name, or even “4.5” or “MUN” brings up a relevant shortlist to choose from.

Those same dropdown boxes are used to select your potential transfer targets in the columns for coming Gameweeks and your proposed starting XIs are indicated by tick boxes. Your transfer plans will be neatly summarised via In and Out sections at the foot of each Gameweek column.

If you want to narrow your focus to the next couple of unusual Gameweeks or jump ahead to consider the consequences of a hit there are “+” and “-” options for hiding and re-showing columns at the top of the Planner and Fixture Ticker tabs.

If your chosen FPL device doesn’t have an attached keyboard then downloading Google’s “Sheets” tab provides full functionality for mobiles and tablets.

HOW TO GET ONE

You’ll need to be an FFS Member to request your Transfer Planner. A link to the request form is available at the left-hand side of the Premium Members Area. Fill that out and your sheet will be on its way, though please be patient during this initial release as each one must currently be despatched manually.

Once your Transfer Planner arrives, it may take 20-30 seconds to load when you first use it. The Transfer Planner needs an internet connection to stay active and may sometimes need to be refreshed to re-establish the link.

    So many teams without jesus
    Strange with that price

    1. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years

      He’s the highest owned player in the game isn’t he?

      The majority here that state they won’t have him will ultimately cave due to the fear of going against the grain & being left behind anyway.

      You get to a point every pre season where people get bored of the obvious picks and try to be different for the sake of it.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why don’t they drop salah

        1. Tomerick
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I said bored not crazy ;-P

    3. adstomko
      • 10 Years

      Saka the best differential in the game alongside Robertson

      1. Tomerick
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mount says hi

    4. KujaliaFC
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Some people ignore ownership.

      1. Tomerick
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        For the most part I do but he was straight in for me. A good 1m undervalued if he meets the potential.

        1. KujaliaFC
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I agree that he's a good choice. So is Salah though, and don't have him. You can't have every good player.

          1. Tomerick
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            True but you can definitely have Jesus and Salah if you want both without it negatively impacting the team

            1. KujaliaFC
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I don't have Salah because I prefer Trent and Diaz, not because I have Jesus.

              1. Tomerick
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Ah sorry misread what you’d put. I’ve gone for the Trent, Salah, Diaz triple myself.

                No Salah is obviously a choice that can upgrade the rest of your team but I don’t see it working out personally.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I mean I'm not saying I won't have cold feet but you can't have them all and I'm happy having the team that I do. Worst case scenario and Haaland or Kane end up a bust while Jesus soars, it's a simple move. Other way around won't be so simple

        1. Tomerick
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah always better to start high and downgrade but personally, I see Jesus as a choice between an additional 8m mid or him as striker. In my team I like the balance as he can become anyone priced below him if needed. Also, 4.5 strikers aren’t going to be playing and I like my bench fodder to have a chance of game time at least.

      3. Jaws
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thank God. If ownership defines a squad in GW1 already, then the sheep have taken over.

    5. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      half the people playing owns him

    6. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Even stranger when you consider Arsenal play the first game on Friday night.

    7. Float
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There are an awful lot of underpriced players this season. Can't have em all

    8. Sameobi
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The bloke plays for Arsenal. Arsenal,man: the perennial “how have they let me down from here?” Arsenal. The “but they had 37 chances and then one went in off Benteke’s backside” Arsenal. The Arsenal of Kolašinac, Arshavin, Bentner? That Arsenal? 50% of people in this game are MAD

  2. Santi sensei

        Its all about Salah vs no Salah. Isn't it..

  3. Santi sensei

    Newcastle line up vs Mainz

    Dubravka
    Trippier Schar Botman Dummett

      Fraser could be interesting. Thanks for the line up.

      1. Santi sensei
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dummett 4.0!

  4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    12M for two midfielders

    a) Coutinho, Bailey
    b) Rashford, Neto/Gordon
    c) Martinelli, BrunoG
    d) other suggestion

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      e) BrunoG + Neto/Gordon + 0.5m cash

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martinelli , Neto

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you fellas!

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Neto rashford definitely

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        honestly, is Rashford nailed?

  5. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    ESR , Ben White, Tomiyasu and Tierney all did not take part in Arsenal's game against Everton.
    Arteta noted that they all have minor injuries.

    One to keep an eye on if you plan on owning Ben White, Tomi ect. Also makes Martinelli slightly more nailed.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't get more nailed, nailed or not nailed

      1. farmerfat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Well I am pretty sure if ESR is injured and his only competition on the left, it would make him more nailed?

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah bro I meant the meaning of the word nailed

    2. Moxon
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why does that make Martinelli more nailed?

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        ESR.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping an eye on it for sure, I know Arteta said it's a matter if days for them but we've had that before with Tomiyasu and it ends up a lot longer. May end up going with Fofana

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is fofana fit and nailed? Good option if so

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They missed him so much last season and he's their best CB imo so I think he has to be nailed. Made his return with a few games to spare last season

  6. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mount is a troll. Gets a 20-pointer so you bring him in and he blanks for 8 games straight. Very streaky, a bit like JWP.

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think they'd both be set and forget picks for me, barring injury/a rival on a streak. Can't bank on when they're gonna do well, but think they return very well over the course of a season. I had JWP in but then his slot went to Bruno G at 0.5 cheaper.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I get frustrated quickly with players, that's my issue. He definitely requires patience

        1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Haha same. It's difficult to have patience with a player costing £8m+. Even more this season where people will have one - maybe two - which means two to three other options that could be doing better! JWP at his price is easier to set and forget.

          What's your current midfield draft looking like?

          1. TheBiffas
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not sure, got a few drafts and can't pick between them. Salah and Diaz are nailed in though.

  7. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hey, all. Thoughts on the below?

    Going without Salah would allow me to invest a bit more £ elsewhere: e.g. contemplating replacing him with KDB and Laporte --> Cancelo. I think I'm gonna flip between those four £8m mids until deadline.

    Meslier
    Chilwell | Laporte | Tomi | Robbo
    Brunog | Son | Salah | Dasilva | Saka/Maddison/Mount/Diaz
    Haaland

    (Klaessen, Taylor, Neco, Greenwood)

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Struggling with how you've afforded all that, nice team

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks 🙂

        Bench is terrible/close to non-existent; and I've "compromised" on a couple of the defenders (Laporte not Cancelo and Robbo not TAA, though that latter one is less of a downgrade).

        Another draft has Jesus over the £8m mid.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saka would be my pick as you have no Arsenal

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        .. bar Tomi

      2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, agreed 🙂 Another draft has Jesus over Saka. I really like the look of that one.

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus owned by 58%

          1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Is that a reason to get him or not haha I can't tell!

            1. Santi sensei
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Get Jesus and Andreas in midfield. Both solid picks

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid. Are you set on 3 premiums or just experimenting still? Can definitely work with the pricing this year, and quite a few posters who I respect are going for it. But for me, the Son/Håland captaincy rotation is so good that I don't really see the need for a 3rd.

      Clearly, you've clocked onto the abundance of great 8m mid options. Personally I want 2 of these, 1 for Diaz & 1 to play the fixtures.

      Not sure about Meslier yet but he made some excellent saves yesterday. I'm watching all the Leeds friendlies & posting reports here so can let you know how much I trust our defence after a couple more games.

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks 🙂

        It's less I'm set on having three premiums as an approach; more I want those three specific players, and they happen to be in the premium bracket! I think Haaland is absolutely going to explode first few games; City look incredibly strong on paper (so much so that I'm trying to make a draft that has Haaland and KDB). I think Son is a season-keeper. And I'm too afraid to not own Mo (plus, obviously, he's quite good...)!

        Yes, I've also got a draft that has a couple of £8m mids. I'd like to pick Maddison, but can't quite bring myself to - probably top 6 snobbery! That draft looks like this:

        Meslier
        Chilwell | Laporte | Tomi | Robbo
        Brunog | Son | Mount | Diaz
        Haaland | Jesus

        (Klaessen, Taylor, Neco, Andreas)

        Thanks re: Meslier info 🙂 I'm on him at the moment 'cos I don't like BHA/BRE's opening fixtures; and I think there's some talk that Raya might have a bit of competition now?

        How're your drafts going? Fairly settled on structure/core players?

        1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry, Laporte --> Cancelo and Robbo --> TAA in that draft.

        2. The Mentaculus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nope! Trying not to get too attached to any particular draft just yet, more like trying out different combinations to see what fits together. This is my latest iteration though:
          5
          TAA Cancelo Robertson Trippier
          Son Diaz Maddison Martinelli Aaronson
          Håland
          (Tomiyasu, 4.5, 4.5)

          I'm really struggling with the GK spot tbh. I think Pope will do well but slightly prefer Trippier with set pieces & all. Double Newcastle defence still looks a bit odd...
          I think Strakosha is supposed to be backup to Raya but not 100%.

          1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I think you're right re: Pope vs Trippier.

            I see you're avoiding Che defence (in that draft at least) - not worth the risk? In terms of rotation but also instability given departures.

            Rest of it looks really strong. You're a big Maddison advocate, aren't you?

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I'm quite wary of Chelsea defence yeah. Massive overhaul of CBs, and they were already struggling towards the end of last year with their CM pairing. Plus there's talk of a shift to 4 at the back. And fixtures like Leicester/Leeds might be good in an attacking sense but I can definitely see them conceding. I haven't totally ruled out James/Chilwell (in Robertson spot) but maybe prefer a wait & see.

              Maddison is my lucky charm, averaging something insane like 15pts/GW for me last year 🙂

  8. One Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who are people eyeing to take in for Coutinho after GW4 ?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I won't have Coutinho to replace in the first place

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      lol

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. Maybe Trossard if he's looking good as Brighton still have a nice run then? Maddison if you can find 1m?

      1. One Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah Barnes could be a better prospect this season to. Maddison is the natural one to have once fixtures change. I might start with him, and take in Saka away to Arsenal and Che.

  9. JohnnyCroat
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So... at 5.5m, do you go Broja or Undav for your 3rd striker? Both solid on their day, but would Broja get the minutes? Does it matter if he's on your bench?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wow, is Broja 5.5? Great price

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Broja won't be nailed and was useless last season for most of it

      1. BoleynWin
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’d have a fairly big wager with you that he starts most Prem games for us, we’ve been waiting to sign a striker for around 5 years. We don’t go and spend £30mill to bench one, especially when the only recognised striker is 33 years old this year & we play twice a week all season long with Europe.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Someone posted here that Brighton fans are expecting Undav to start. Grabbed a goal the other day, although so did Maupay. They started with Maupay & Welbeck with Undav & Enciso replacing them after 60mins

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Expecting doesn't mean he will. Think he'll be on bench for first few games.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Hence "expecting" not "will". He's pretty a much a complete unknown so any info is valuable. Got anything useful to add or just snarky asides?

          1. Jock Grealish
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Lol

      2. Jaws
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Potter lives to rotate upfront. It’s risky.

    4. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Its a question of choosing between a known 2nd fiddle, or an unknown that could be first choice or third.
      I'm going Undav first bench. I think he could turn out to be very good value.

  10. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    First draft on here. Thoughts appreciated..

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Chillers (Neco)
    Salah (c) Diaz, Neto, Bruno G (Periera)
    Kane, Jesus (Greenwood)

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of the Chillerz double up. Could get Trippier and upgrade Bruno G

    2. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like it. Reasonably template with Bruno the outlier. I’m just not sure on his fixtures early on, would rather jump on after MCI and LIV.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Bruno G is 25% owned

        1. Dutchy
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Crazy

        2. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          bruno is solid

          1. TheBiffas

            A solid holding midfielder, yes. As an fpl asset I'm not convinced

            1. Santi sensei
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I wouldnt call him holding mid

        3. One Man
          • 10 Years

          20.4% owned.

            Oh, is that all? That changes everything

            1. One Man

              Right stats matter.

                4 years, 1 month ago

                It was an estimate off the top of my head pal. 5% difference in ownership of one player on your team will make an intangible effect on rank.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      No complains here, looking good.

    4. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Two questions for you to ponder

      Does Neto outscore a 5m defender? E.g Cash, Doherty, Gabriel with .5m leftover

      Does Bruno G outscore a 6.0m defender? E.g Laporte, Dias etc

      If the answer is no on either of these questions it requires a reshuffle & Nico swapped out in my opinion. You only need one of those mid priced midfielder spots for flexibility, two of them is losing points in the long run. Just my take…

  11. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Latest "no Salah" 4-3-3 draft. What do you think?

    Sanchez (4.0)
    TAA VVD Cancelo James (4.0)
    BrunoG Diaz Rashford (2 x 4.5)
    Kane Haaland Jesus

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Defensive double ups are always stressful for me!

      I think the midfield could do with some boosting, otherwise it looks good. Downgrade Kane and upgrade Rashford to Son? Any reason you went big three at the top?

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Appreciate your reply. Still undecided whether to use 442 with Son or 433 with Kane.
        Cheers

        1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'd lean towards Son and the 4-4-2. There seem to be more options in midfield this year and 4-4-2 should allow you to pivot to those easier?

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    For some reason Son-Haaland captaincy rotation with Diaz(C) in GW4 feels better than a Salah- Haaland rotation.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Does it

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is marginally better up till GW7. I think I'm set on my premiums though.

    3. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      nah

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing wrong with Son v nfo GW4 either

  13. Dutchy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    current differential draft, can explain some of my picks if asked

    ederson
    trent james dias trippier
    salah mount sancho bailey
    kane toney

    4.0 gabriel andreas greenwood

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Really like this, would downgrade Ederson and get Jesus in for To ey though

      1. Dutchy
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This is an idea I’ve been floating with. Makes a lot of sense

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks strong!

      Agree with Biffas above; could downgrade Ederson to any of the 4.5s. What's the thinking re: no City attack?

      1. Dutchy
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Roulette LOL, Can easily swap mount to Mahrez/Foden. Or Kane to Haaland

        1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yer, that's very valid.

          I'm looking at a draft where I have KDB *and* Haaland. Can't bring myself to go with any of the others. Kane to Haaland might be the move.

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Feeling pretty settled on this draft finally.... Although no city could hurt. Any thoughts?
    Meslier 4.0
    TAA James Cash Dunk N.Williams
    Salah Diaz Mount Rashford Andreas
    Kane Jesus 4.5

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No city is very risky. There fixtures are mental. Like the Mount pick

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure on Cancelo price this season. Would like a city mid but just not sure who...

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Solid, you're GTG

      yeah get some city

      1. waltzingmatildas

        What would you recommend?

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cancelo/Walker over James
          Haaland over Kane

          1. waltzingmatildas
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Fair, could just do cash to walker if he seems like an option.
            Cheers

    Hi folks.

    Been a minute since popping on here. Hi to all the OGs here, and to all. Since I dont visit too often, got a few to cover, so sorry to the TLDR crowd in advance.

    Right, so Zinchenko heading out, at the moment, Cancelo and Walker are the only FBs. The idea is to get Cucurella in, and maybe he eventually does, but seems to me with every day that passes, Walker seems pretty cemented for the opening weeks. A 5m ticket to cover MCI CS's seems awfully appealling if looking to avoid Cancelo price.

    Malacia. Anyone daring my idea of backing Malacia. ten Hag's first signing, Dutch LB/LWB of choice...if the new boss is needing to change the culture of a floundering United side, methinks Malacia goes right in ahead of Shaw. Been looking at his fixtures and the ones I would want to play him, and they happen to be weeks where Andreas has some that could fetch points, GWs 3 and 5, Andreas home to BRE and BHA. Malacia with BHA, bre, sou GWs 1,2 and 4. Not bad for an 11th man.

    Finally, GK. I think Meslier is being slept on. I know it sounds nuts. 1) Leeds defense cant possibly be worse than last season's. 2) He has had a penchant for save pts in his career. 3) Still young, room to improve and, with Raphinha gone, an argument could be made he's the most valuable asset they have. 4) in the first 7 GWs, Leeds play only one side that finished top EIGHT last season. If nothing else, a differential at a position and price point I can dig.

    Right, so here's the current side. Thougts appreciated. Thanks for attending my TED talk. 🙂

    Meslier (Klaessen)
    Alexander-Arnold, James, Walker, Tomiyasu, Malacia
    Salah, Sterling, Diaz
    Kane, Jesus
    (Andreas, Dasilva, Greenwood)

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wow, what a nice read. I love this team

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hey, Cheers Dutchy. Maybe I should stop reading now and go with a perfect 1 for 1 record in the "good looking team" department. 🙂

    2. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      *added note, feeling strong with this side in terms of not feeling to kneejerk if all doesnt go perfectly, so Kane-> with 1st FT for GW2 is pretty much a lock, in case Haaland goes off GW1, but rather go with Mr. established first.

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'd get a city mid/Haaland. Look at their fixtures.

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          im ok with Walker/Haaland for coverage, given the history of in-and-out of the 11 the Mahrez's and Foden's of the world can do to you. Since my bench is ultra cheap, Im trying to with players a bit more nailed for the opening weeks.

          1. BoleynWin
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            You don’t have Haaland for coverage though? Unless your plan is to move Kane on week 2, booked transfers are always a risk but good luck to you.

            The rest looks strong

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Agree with all your points and like your team. Great post

      Fully agree on Walker, I'm keeping an eye on him.
      I just don't trust utd defence, even as a fan.
      Looked at some stats yesterday and also shifted to meslier, so I agree!

      I like it, kinda similar to mine just above.
      Best of luck!

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And to you as well! Nice to see a fellow Meslier man! May as well go for LEE's 4m backup, to cover Meslier in case he missed out.

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team. A few points from me;

      - Cancelo - that's an interesting one. He's not delivered the haul he did last year in any of his previous seasons so probably a good place to cut. Whether it's all the way down to Walker I'm not sure but as an early season punt it's probably safe. Dias would probably be my long term hold but it's a guessing game and your guess is as good as any other

      - Re. Malacia, I've watched all of United's preseason so far, if you want to punt on a 4.5 then I'd go with Dalot early on, we've got a fair amount of competition at LB and Malacia hasn't been in the "first team out" in any of the games yet, that could change and there are a lot of pre-season games left though. Dalot has been out first and AWB doesn't look like he'll scratch the surface.

      - Also think Tomiyasu might be injured as he's not appeared for Arsenal so far, I'm going to chat to some Arsenal mates on their view but Cedric might be the go-to 4.5 for them

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the insight, Brains. If Tomi is out, I may be tempted by a 4.5 Wolves option, they seem the next best lot to get early CS's from. Ait Nouri or Jonny would be nice if either can appear to look nailed come GW1. Oh, I want that "sexy" pick in Malacia, but you may be right in the end on Dalot. My hunch is though Malacia is getting prepped for the gig. Let's see how United look down under the next week and change.

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      I got sold on Walker
      And i do like your team. Good luck!

      Beware of those 59th minute substitutions with 5 subs this year 😉

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's what's putting me off Perisic. Really want him and I swear the 5 sub rule is the reason he isn't going in.

    8. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team & reasoning behind it is sound.

      Tomi could be a risk as he hadn’t played any preseason & I believe he may be eased back gently so just keep an eye on it. Agree with Brains on the Dalot over Malacia.

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, man.

        Yeah, the good news is, for both spots, there is a same-price, same CS coverage option out there. Will just have to hope things look clear heading into GW1.

    9. David Parkinson
      • 4 Years

      Lacks bandwagon spots, nice though.

      1. @FuzzyWarbles

        Sterling IS the bandwagon 😉

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ironic that the most overlooked diamond is one the OP mentioned right at the start of his post. Let me be the first: it's Zinchenko. An OOP in midfield, you'll get Gabriel or Tierney's clean sheet points, but with potential assists in his locker.

  16. Coast94

    Thoughts on my draft please?

    Ederson
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Chilwell
    Salah, Diaz, Neto, Bailey
    Haaland, Jesus

    4.0, N Williams, Dasilva, Greenwood

    Feel like it’s worth tripling up on Liverpool and City assets.

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Now now now, did we just watch Let’s Talk FPL’s latest draft

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is it a carbon copy?

        1. Coast94
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Guilty! He doesn’t have Cancelo, Dasilva or Williams in my defence, but he’s got me sold on this team structure.

  17. Emiliano Sala

    Why no love for castagne? Played most of last games

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      I have more love for Justin, think he'll play most games

    2. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im all overt a LEI FB bandwagon at some point, but given the fixtures and the fact they have three very good FBs for two spots, best in my view to wait and see on that one. I am eyeing one as a Tomiyasu replacement around GW6.

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        how have they lined up so far in the friendlies?

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Last game:
          Iversen
          Ricardo, Fofana, Evans, Justin
          Soumare, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison
          Perez, Daka, Barnes

    3. Float
      • 8 Years

      Really like him at that price but his nailedness is still murky and Leicester's defence kind of stunk last season.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      I like him but can't say i trust Leicesters defence.

    Thoughts on this?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Reece Castagne
    Son Diaz Neto
    Haaland Jesus

    Bailey Da Silva 4.5

    Feels fairly flexible. Can be a 442 or 532

    Bruno G or Neto ?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Awful answer but who is playing more advanced in pre season for me. Although if Bruno plays CAM, then him for me

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Went with neto

    2. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rather Bruno G

  22. Donnie Chen
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Been thinking about the Neto herd instinct and not sure. I'm also suspecting that Eriksen, who is being gushed over by Hang Ten, will provide very good value, so I have an option B which I really like. It means getting shot of TAA, but only for Robertson. Also thinking Sinisterra will flourish at Leeds with Raphina gone.

    Thoughts? Changes in capitals.

    A.

    Sanchez
    Cancelo TRENT MINGS
    Salah Sinisterra NETO MOUNT
    Jesus Haaland Wilson
    Subs: (Steele/Andreas/Vestergaard/N Williams)

    B.

    Sanchez
    Cancelo ROBERTSON JAMES
    Salah Sinisterra ERIKSEN BRUNO-G
    Jesus Haaland Wilson
    Subs: (Steele/Andreas/Vestergaard/N Williams)

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Less convinced on Eriksen - struggling to see how him and fernandes fit together. I’d go B but with sancho and Bailey currently

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      From watching Leeds pre-season friendlies, James Aaronson Harrison seems to the preferred AM trio at the mo. Although James still has one match suspension to serve so Sinisterra could sneak in GW1

      Mings, by far.

    3. Halftime
      • 14 Years

      Jonny is a good option too

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tomi/White
      AitNouri/Jonny

    5. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Rico Henry

    6. Float

      Really hard to pick, IMO. I like all of these:

      Tomiyasu, White, Mykolenko, Dunk, Botman, Jonny, Castagne(or whichever LEI fullback looks like starting)

    Thoughts on botmann/andreas rotation?
    Gw 3 & 5

    Andreas Pereira definitely nailed?

    1. 824545201

      No.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think so
      16m for a club like fulham is a lot of money

    Any help here guys?

    A. Sterling and Odegaard/JWP
    B. KDB and Andreas

    I have Haaland already but like the idea of the double up with KDB.

    But also Sterling starting with Chelsea is incredibly tempting

      B

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A with someone else like rashford

      1. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Have Rashford already

    Bruno G is the kind of casual pick that'll score a goal on the first week then everyone will pile in and he won't score again for 2 months.

    I will not get him.

      But if you don't get him then he carries on scoring, and only stops when you get him

    Anyone considering any Man Utd assets?

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1

      Rashford and Sancho are the only ones I'm interested in at the moment

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford and Sancho if Ronaldo leaves

    3. No Professionals

      I like Sancho at 7.5m, should be nailed on the right. a chance he performs like a 9-10m asset.
