FPL team guides: Brentford – Best players, predicted line-up + more

Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is drawing ever nearer and we’re profiling all 20 Premier League teams before the season starts.

After weighing up what Arsenal and Aston Villa players have to offer, we continue our team-by-team guides with Brentford.

You can check out our Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Bournemouth analysis in our Promoted series (articles that will be refreshed before the big kick-off).

FPL pre-season lessons:

LAST SEASON: ATTACK

TotalRank v other Premier League clubs
Goals scored4811th
Shots44213th
Shots in the box3177th
Shots on target147=11th
Big chances679th
Expected goals (xG)52.3911th

The attacking statistics for Brentford very much rank in mid-table, which isn’t bad for a newly-promoted side making their Premier League debut.

However, their year splits into life with and without Christian Eriksen (£6.5m). His Gameweek 28 debut followed a terrible run of nine defeats from 11 matches, totalling just four points and six goals in those months.

Until Gameweek 27, the Bees were down in 17th place for total shots and 15th for goals scored.

Eriksen’s arrival sparked a late-season revival of seven wins and 21 goals but, now that the Dane has departed for Manchester United, we don’t know how good Brentford will be in their second campaign.

Headline-making victories came against Arsenal on the opening Friday, plus a 4-1 win away to Chelsea. Also impressive was doing the double over West Ham United.

LAST SEASON: DEFENCE

TotalRank v other Premier League clubs
Goals conceded5612th
Clean sheets9=10th
Shots conceded50310th
Shots in the box conceded3058th
Shots on target conceded17913th
Big chances conceded69=10th
Expected goals conceded (xGC)55.148th

Again, Brentford’s numbers line up slightly better than their 13th-placed finish.

Most of their season was played with a back-three system, which might explain why they ranked eighth-best for conceding shots inside the penalty area. They were seventh-best at allowing attempts from the left flank but 13th for those down the right.

Three of their nine clean sheets arrived within the first five outings, catching FPL managers off-guard. Of course, those who then bought a defensive asset had to wait until Gameweeks 13 and 25 for the next pair.

From Brentford defenders, only Chelsea scored more than their 13 – which includes the three of reclassified Sergi Canos (£5.0m). Add this to defensive assists and they are the best outside of last season’s top four (25).

Pontus Jansson (£4.5m) lead the way for matches started, with 37, while Rico Henry (£4.5m) and Ethan Pinnock (£4.5m) follow with 33 and 32.


OPENING FIXTURES

The opening run of Brentford fixtures is very generous, avoiding all of last season’s top four until Gameweek 12.

In fact, starting from Gameweek 3, they top our Season Ticker all the way up to Gameweek 16.

        Cant help but think how bad a pick Justin is, especially if in first 11

    Hi lads

    A. Balanced team

    TAA, Cancelo, James, Tripp (Neco)
    Salah, Diaz, Rash, Neto (Andreas)
    Kane, Jesus (4.5m)

      A

      Not sure why you would go 3-4-3 if going for three premiums

  3. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Neto worth the 0.5m over Bailey?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      hard to say until gw5

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I think so - I certainly expect more minutes especially with Raul Jimenez dead for a few weeks.

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      After Jiminez's injury, I'm not sure if neto is worth it or not

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        He could be playing up front now

  4. Royal5

    Nunez lucky to score that. Poor pen.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Definitely going to be a few tricked into thinking he's on pens now

      Have I missed something here?

  5. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How many template players do we have to select to avoid a terrible GW1 start?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      17

    2. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I currently don’t have the 2 most owned players in the game and I think I’m cool with it lol

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        What if they return?

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Just gotta hope Kane, Son and co match them I guess

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      All those that start with greater than 30% ownership.

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        That would be 7/11

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I would add Diaz, Andreas, Neco and Greenwood tbh. That is 11 from 15.

      2. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        What do you think? It's better to start with the template?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          You need to understand what type of FPL manager you are.

          There are some who are good starters. They have a knack of picking the right players before the data is available to narrow the player pool. If you are one of those managers, go with your picks.

          If you generally screw up the start, then go template.

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Stupid random question

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        It's not stupid. We need to have defensive picks. And template is most of the time right

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Lol

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Well everyone and his girlfriend's, child's and dogs team will captain Salah. Getting 3/4 players outside that you feel others have missed should be playing it safe enough but not too out there.

  6. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Completely forgot about Carvalho, he could eat into Diaz’ gametime

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Nah he's bench fodder

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Why sign him then

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          He's one for the future like Elliott. Not hard to understand.

          1. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Fair enough he’s younger than I thought

            1. Jock Grealish
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              Ah yeah. Decent player all the same.

              1. seamusseamus
                • 9 Years
                1 year, 9 months ago

                Liverpool fan here - Carvalho and Elliot will both get regular minutes. Can't rely on them as starters yet though.

                Carvalho in particular could be interesting though given his versatility both centrally and in attack.

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yeah having a hard time to pick a nailed good enough 8m mid. I think only Sancho (7.5m) is nailed

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Mount and Maddison nailed

      2. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I'm going Maddy v Brentford - will likely be a bit of a cask chasing merry-go-round though.

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          He got 2 in 2 games v brentford last season

          1. Bram
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Yeah I think that 8m mids likely to be so volatile I just went for one I think has best gw1 🙂

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sounds like he's been very impressive in preseason, although he's played as part of a midfield 3 too but means there's another option there (and probably more pertinently another option to bring on from the bench in Diaz's position)

  7. fanto1979
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Ok thinks this is it....

    Royal
    AAA Cancelo Dalot James
    Rashford Salah L. Diaz Martinelli
    Kane Jesus

    Subs: Sarkic, Archer, N.Williams, Andreas.

    Surely that's as solid as it gets?

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I mean you can’t get more solid than a AAA credit rating.

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Who is Royal?

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Raya autocorrect?

        1. fanto1979
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Yes - autocorrect!

    3. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      For GW 1, yes!

      1. fanto1979
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        0.5 in the bank so can move if necessary

  8. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Any improvements would be appreciated, cheers.

    ———-——Ramsdale————-
    Trippier - Cancelo - TAA - Robbo
    Salah - Neto - Martinelli - Sancho
    —-——— Kane - Jesus ————

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sancho stands out

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Looked sharp in pre season but i’m open to swap him out if there are better options at that price point. Saka is the obvious pick but I'm fully loaded up on Arsenal and Martinelli looks better value. Who would you opt for?

        1. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Keep Sancho imo. Looks good

        2. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I see. Not seen him in pre season. Could work as a punt I guess. Personally rather downgrade a defender and get Son.

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            He would need to do more than just downgrade a defender to get Son

          2. M2.0
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Would love to have Son but he’s just an awful pricepoint this season. Should be 11m

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      nothing to add. solid!

    3. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sancho->Coutinho?

    4. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Trippier and Sancho to Dalot and Maddy then snap!

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I like that, not seen Maddison in many drafts so that could be a good differential. Cheers!

    5. In FPHell
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Only problem I see is if one of the 8.0 mids goes off, you’re gonna need two transfers to join the party

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yes cheers, i’m thinking Maddison now as per Bram’s comment

  9. royals forever

    Best 11m MF combo for this front 8

    Sterling Saka Diaz xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

    Jesus Kane Johnson

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Visionaries
      • 7 Years

      Bailey & Neto
      Rashford & Andreas

  10. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Which trio for the same price?

    A) Son, Saka, Darwin
    B) Salah, Jesus, Mount

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B easy

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        B means no Spurs players

        1. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I'm more afraid there is no Salah

    3. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      First time i’ve seen Son mentioned in a while… crazy that that’s the case but I think FPL towers messed up with his pricing. You need him to hit the ground running otherwise he’s 11.9m by GW2.

    4. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B for sure

    5. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B

  11. Hinchcliffe Thumper

    Feedback please:

    Edeson, Gazzaniga
    TAA, Zinch, Botman, Patterson, Neco
    Saka, Grealish, Kulu, Coutinho, Andreas
    Håland, Kane, Jesus

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Do you need both Kane and Haaland? They’re quite conveniently priced so that you can swap between the two. Premium strikers have generally proven to not be great value over the last couple of seasons…

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    .... any good?

    Pope
    Cancelo, Dias, Robbo, Zinchecko
    Salah, Maddison, JWP, Martinelli
    Kane, Jesus

    Darlow. S.Longstaff. L.Taylor. N.Williams.

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Swap Pope, Zinchenko to Ramsdale, trippier.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        I'm keeping Pope for my differential

    Can anyone more informed than me tell me what on earth Sorare is? I've seen articles here and people talk about it but no idea what it's about.

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years

      Do you mean Cedric Soares?

      1. Jock Grealish

        No it's some digital fantasy game

    Looks like I'm all set. ( Who am I kidding ) . Still would like your views and suggestions

    Sanchez

        Good luck to you too

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      First 11 is lovely but hate the idea of not having at least 2 off the bench

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I agree with you.

        The reason for going with it is, with 5 sub rule, all the 11 will get atleast some playing time.

        Only risk is if Jesus doesn't play

  15. Jock Grealish

  17. southernrocker1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Any advice on these much appreciated:

    1.Best £6m or less defender other than Zinchenko?

    2. Luis Diaz getting lots of attention, aren't his starts a little tricky to predict?

    3. Best £6.5m or less midfielder other than Martinelli.

    Thank you!

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      1. Trippier rotated with Andreas. Or a Che def.
      2. Pretty nailed
      3. Rashford

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        This!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      1. Trippier

      2. Should start most game (Diaz Darwin Salah)

      3. Bruno G looking good still

    3. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      1. Chilwell when up to speed otherwise Dalot+1.5m

      2. Doubt it especially with Mane gone.

      3. Probably Neto, Bailey is popular but will likely change with fixtures. e.g. by September maybe a Forest option etc

    Been settled on this fairly template team, any thoughts?

    Ederson
    Trent Robbo Cancelo Zinch Trippier
    Sancho Salah Neto
    Kane Jesus

    Usual subs. Thanks!

    1. Matjes_taet
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Looks good.

      I would go with Cash/Digne over Trippier for the first 3 GW.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Newcastle's first two fixtures are the best

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Who are your two 4.5 midfielders? Andreas and DaSilva?

      I really like it but I would as its very similar to mine. I have KDB Diaz Martinelli in midfield.

      1. MARVELLUS
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Yes those are my subs. Bit put off Martinelli as I don't want to triple up on Ars, they can let us down sometimes.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          They can but their fixtures/form couldn't be better so worth a go IMO

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      There is no wrong choice really. solid!

  19. Matjes_taet
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I tried about thousands of drafts now. But always come back to this:

    Sa
    TAA-Robbo-Cancelo-James
    Grealish-Rashford-Kulu-Salah-Madders
    Jesus

    Banked transfer: Kulu to Mahrez or Foden in week 2.

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If that's what you come back to, stick with it, go with your gut or you will be annoyed if this team does amazing

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      if that's what you like, stick with it

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not sure about Grealish or Rashford

      Jaxk could have a good second season at Man city

      1. Matjes_taet
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Thank you guys. Will stick with it until team-news come out .

  20. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Latest draft.

    Ramsdale
    Trent, Robbo, Cancelo (Dalot)
    Diaz, KDB, Mahrez, Sancho, Neto
    Jesus, Martial

    0.5 itb

    1. Matjes_taet
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Man United fan?
      Three of them seems to much for me.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        yeah

        Dump Sancho and maybe Martial

        1. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Name better value?

      2. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Haha, yes I am mate, but it's the value I like tbh. Dalot is on the bench
        Sancho & Martial are great value

        1. Matjes_taet
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Great value means they were shite last season. 😉
          Would go for one of them at max. Then wait & see.

          Also missing the best captain-options for week one in your draft. Who would you pick?

          1. Visionaries
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Would be foolish to write them off at those prices imo.
            I'd captain KDB or Mahrez. Not convinced by the Kane love in. Spurs are shite

      3. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        This! in addition, the fixture is also bad

        1. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Brighton & Brentford first 2

          1. Thinkering like a Boss
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            last season, Brighton and Brentford had good defensive data

  21. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    A. Maddison or Grealish
    B. Guimareas or Rashford

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Grealish is in my current plans

    2. Matjes_taet
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B. Guimareas is an avoid for me.
      Madders, Grealish and Rashford are all in my draft.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A

    about 6 hours now since the last tinker ,maybe content,

    edrson
    trent / cancelo / robertson
    neto / diaz / kdb / bailey / jwp
    jesus / kane (c)

    0.0itb

    also a jolly good team for gw2 t/f saved and kdb (c)

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      No Salah against Fulham on the opening day looks way too stressful.

    2. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Back 4 doesn't get any better than that mate - with the question marks over James I'm considering something similar

      1. Moxon
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        But yes get Salah

    3. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Bailey and JWP thumbs up!

      1. Matjes_taet
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Both are wasted spots,

      2. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        cheers lads,but no salah,kane gw1 and kdb gw2 will be (c),i regard them as the 1 and 2 premiums,i need offense from city,spurs and pool and feel my 3 are the best option,(c) a 13m m/f away just doesnt appeal ,i fancy kane to beat salah gw1,mo has left me with a bit of a hangover post afcon,he was quite ordinary ,so im content too watch him and its quite easy to get him gw3 as i should have 2f/t

  23. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Anyone starting the season with a West Ham player? Don’t think i’ve seen one yet!

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I saw some shrewdies are starting with Bowen, As most are put off by the City game. After that looks great.

    2. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I would only consider Bowen

    3. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Maybe Lingard ............. oh wait yeah!

    4. seamusseamus
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Might get Bowen. Wouldn't be surprised if they get a goal or 2 against city

  24. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Shuffling shuffling:

    Ederson, Gazzaniga
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Botman, Neco
    Kulu, Sancho, Martinelli, Bruno Guimares
    Håland, Jesus, Darwin

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I like it, very non-template! Any concerns over Kulu’s minutes following the Richarlison signing?

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        If he delivers in gw1, i believe he starts gw2 as well. I think he can play RW or behind striker, so Richy in RW could see Kulu in number 10 position? Of course depends on TOT formation and all other things between earth and sky!

  25. cmorris22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Who does everyone think is the best 4.5 defender?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I like Jonny/RAN/Jansson

    2. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Dalot

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Dalot, Jonny, Botman, Tomiyasu (if he plays)

  26. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Any other viable 4.5 midfielder pick than Andreas?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Maybe Da Silva

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Dasilva perhaps?

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Da silva, Gordon

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Gordon’s 5.5 mate unless there’s another

        1. DavvaMC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Yes your right should have checked first.

  27. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    The amount of confidence on here with almost every draft not containing Haaland just because of a comment in a preseason press conference

    Going to end in a hell of a lot of early season tears when the hivemind falls flat on its face

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He’s 60% owned mate. The hivemind have him

      1. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        A lot starting with Kane planning on having him gw2 too

      2. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        The hivemind on here is utterly convinced that a player with consistently weaker xG per 90 playing for a far worse side and who more often than not at the end of last season got assists instead of goals is a better asset

        Baffling

        1. seamusseamus
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Injury prone and never played in the league. Bet you spaffed on Werner and Lulakau too

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      *takes haaland out of team*

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Can't have them all. He will get rotated here and there especially when the CL games kick in and players like KDB, Salah and Son are known quantities and will play next to every game. Nothing wrong with waiting and seeing IMO

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Well I think Kane can match or exceed him. Easy switch anyway, but I plan to stick with Kane unless that goes pair shaped.

  28. Hattrick Harry
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Catching the early fixtures with this line-up:

    Meslier (Klaassen)
    TAA, Dias, Gabriel, Justin (NecoW)
    Salah, Maddison, Sancho (Bailey, Andreas)
    Haaland, Wilson, Watkins

    Allow jumping to different wagons and no spurs/chelsea for start but follow them to move quickly.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not a fan! But good luck

    Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted, What do you think of the below?

    (442 and 0.0 itb)

    Henderson/ Darlow

    TAA Robertson Cancelo Doherty/ N Williams

    Salah Kulu Bailey Rashford/ Andreas

    Haaland Jesus/ Greenwood

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I really like it. Unfortunately Doherty needs to be monitored as I don’t know why he didn’t play a minute of the last friendly. I like Mahrez over Kulu

      1. grooveymatt65
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Thanks!!!

  30. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Purely on nailedness: Saka or Martinelli?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Saka

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Surely you know the answer to this as everyone else

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Saka no contest

    4. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Saka although that’s a very one dimensional way if looking at it. Martinelli has looked arguably better in pre season and is a whole 2m less. Easy choice imo
