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

Personally, wouldn’t want anyone over 5.5 on it. Maybe Neto as first sub? Then Andreas?

Fodder that plays like neco and perreira

Cheapies that play.

I think I’d like Neto, Bailey & Andrea as my bench as going big at the back. But can’t get the 0.5 for Neto…

Nailed 4.5m Arsenal defender (sadly not as easy as it first seemed), Neco, 4.5m fwd

I hate fodder. I want a bench that not only plays but who I will start when the fixtures support it. Currently Mbuemo, White & Dunk.

Ederson, TAA, Cancelo KDB

Looks good

C and try and squeeze an extra 0.5 for Bowen

C

Very balanced and like the martial pick . Really like it

Nice one, I'd still prefer Sancho and Jesus over Saka and Martial but it could pay off.

Further reports of Ronaldo throwing more toys around.

Also think Martial could be a great pick. Just put him into my draft.

Brentford bought a new keeper who might displace Raya. At very least he displaces Balcombe. He's 4.5 so not suitable for your bench either.

Ward at Leicester has a chance of being their startung keeper.

Ortega as back up at City could also be good.

Too soon to decide, assuming all start the whole season I'd pick A

But we need to know what the Perisic plan is, press conferences before the season next week and a couple of friendlies to go

B only because not sure of Perisic starts gw1 .

Two or three are a wait and see for me

Looks decent apart from Doherty… Mahrez could also be rotated. I’d go Maddison since you have Haaland. Or maybe even Alisson, Doh, Mahrez to Ramsdale, Dias, Sancho

Because it's nice to get an alternative impartial view sometimes.

I think some people are just asking for thoughts and trying to seek other views before making a decision, which is totally fine

The spammers however or the ones that basically ask an A or B for every single decision, at that stage you might as well not play the game. Don't understand what fun this game is if it isn't your own thoughts and decisions coming through

Probably 50% confirmation of picking

50% vainity

Totally agree but with 10 years' membership here you must know this is never gonna happen.

Sometimes others can highlight things you may have overlooked (current injuries, lack of pre-season, bench goalkeeper blocking transfers from same club etc) but equally you can get bad advice...

complaining about people asking questions on an FPL forum, okay

You tell em Gooberman

Why you signed up to here then you weapon? Pretty sure you read the articles yourself for inspo/help on which players to pick.

So you here for the tea and biscuits then?

Gooberman is TOP G! Did you sign up to Andrew Tates Hustlers University? Looks like it!

In all the years I've been on here I have never asked a direct question about my team. I might make awful decisions about my team, my team might be cr@p, but at least they're mine.

Yeah I'd be more than happy going into GW1 with that.

A

B for me, as it stands anyway as Ronaldo hasn't left

First pair for security. Or even Son & Kane and then swap one of them out.

1

If you're gunna stick long term with the pick, Gabriel.

Shorter term, Neto.

That final 0.5m is seemingly always needed and this is the area to shave it because the top 4.5m keeper is never miles away from the 5m's.

Who's the best 4.5m? No idea. Currently think Meslier but most don't agree.

B

Coin toss. B.

B because there's more room for manoeuvre with 5.5 mids and I wouldn't want Ramsdale taking up one of my 3 Arsenal slots

I prefer KDH to Bailey. There are lots of good options at 8.0, but if you have to play both you might need to find the value in the 6.5-7.5 bracket.

With that defence I think you definitely will be!

Planning a -4 for week 2 seems crazy to me but it could work out.

Too short term for me.

Very close, I like this team. Get a grav and I’ll knight you!

Could be gold. The winning differential. Problem with Podders is he does get injured a lot. I'm sticking to the safety of Neto (for now), but Podence could be the high-risk-high-reward punt.

Podence to anyone!

And we all move to Darwin.

Plus a new whiter than white tooth each week. He already has 64 so I’m not sure what he’ll do with them.

He got an assist, there's been talk of a blossoming bromance with Haaland and there's Pep's "second season" with a player history (apparently).

I think he's a decent shout but agree with you he'll still see rotation. Particularly with 5 subs.

What I like about him most is his price and other options at that price, currently in my team and with Sterling and Jesus gone I think he will kick on and see a lot more minutes this season.

I have no intention on getting Haaland either and breaking up my Kane and Son double up, so he’s my City attack.

Also don’t have Jesus. So it’s going to be a nervy GW1 for me!

Ahhh this old chestnut!

Of the four, Neto is likely the most nailed and does have the early fixtures.

For me Arsenal seem to have clicked best and Marti at 6m could be a short term bargain.

Do like the look of a Utd forward (Rash, Sancho or Martial) assuming Ronaldo leaves but Villa have slightly changed formation to accommodate Bailey and could revert back. Plus Ings or Buendia surely not massively behind.

A

B

Would start the season with B.

Chelsea looking somewhat off defensively & James could be playing in a back four or part of a three. New signings would surely need some time to adapt.

During the world cup which is in the middle of the league season, you get unlimited transfers until the premier league returns

Essentially an extra wildcard

Maybe you read it in the rules?

Yup. They don't call it a wildcard; they call it 'unlimited transfers between GW16 and 17 (the World Cup break)'. It's a wildcard that you could use with another chip if you wanted to go real crazy.

Very nice

The strokes will outscore Benteke

maybe try and get benteke in?

@gooberman

wouldn't risk perisic
