English = expensive

Also the likes of Chris Wood, Josh King and Ashley Barnes

I’d be looking at Toney myself.

Signing for Man Utd will be viewed as a retrograde step for many players. It has the propensity to ruin a career.

Why would any of those three go to United? Why would any of their clubs sell them?

The problem with Man Utd is not in attack, it is defense & midfield! (And attitude of course)

The first five words in your post are self explanatory imo

B for now.

A for sure, Ederson & Cancelo will probably outscore your 8.0 mid

A) Ederson (GK) 170 points, Cancelo 200 points, 5.0 MID 120 points

B) Sanchez (GK) 120 points, Walker 140 points, 8.0 MID 180 points

B

B if you are having to play the 5m mid each week

Bank, get Sanchez gw4 if nothing else to do

Bank. 1of main rules of FPL is not waste trades on GKs and here 1 week in you are thinking about it. If one dropping in price or a 4.5m you want rising later maybe but too soon for burning trades on GK

Bank it!

that means he beats the record for goals scored in a season, its possible but i doubt it, he is an elite finisher though, the way he buried that second goal then i knew i just had to have him

It’s a really interesting one. He thrives when defences play high. He scored the second one when West Ham pushed for an equaliser and moved up the pitch. If teams sit deep, and tight, we’ll have to see how he fairs - perhaps this is when KDB will outscore him.

Saying this though… does that mean he’ll score more against top 10 than bottom 10? That would be odd…

Def not A

I’d go C. Unless you can see a clear way of upgrading that you want to do after GW2 from the Kane to Nunez change.

B for me

B

B

C . Need more than one game to determine whether the shiny new toy Nunez is needed

i think Scotty's gonna need a bigger bus

you could be right, but they did the same thing last year losing at Watford, going to newly promoted clubs on the first day of the season can be tricky, look at Liverpool this year at Fulham, and Arsenal last year at Brentford for example

You must've been reading the Villa forums

Fat Frank for sure

Most likely yup. Fella has an incredibly strong squad after spending over £100m on Beundia, Bailey, Ings, Digne and Coutinho last season, and still somehow making them look like relegation fodder

Interestingly I currently have Saka & Walker (tripled up on both Arsenal & City). Considering changing them to Foden & Zinchenko, not much in it though.

If I wanted Zinchenko I would've before he rose. Now I have less interest. Also he might end up DM and Tierney LB

its bizarre to say but i think walker is the safer pick as Zinc has the huge threat of Tierney to compete with, unless he moves into midfield which may or may not happen

I was down on Walker until I saw him play inverted winger GW1. Interesting prospect now apart from Foden not passing into his overlapping runs

Zinchenko is a little up in the air re his position and starts I think. I went Gabriel cos the first two looked ripe for set-piece goals

No chance. Covering both. Son & Haaland is ideal

No. Son is more than capable of scoring at CHE. And he probably will.

No hit!

Just flip a coin

1 but dont expect too much from any

3, 2, 1 in that order.

I think too many are writing Villa off after just one game. Gerrard will give them a rocket, much more of a rocket than Ten Hag will manage at United!

Selling Kane & Robbo after one game week ? Surely your plan involved holding them ?

to be honest I would want all four of those players, well, Cancelo instead of Dias

3am, 30 minutes after price changes, roughly 23 hours away.

I worked in a fix in my initial squad. I started Bailey with Aaronson on my bench. He can step up, as can Andreas. But maybe I give Bailey a last chance home to Everton.
If you didn't plan ahead, maybe you've got Andreas on your bench - he deserves a start.

Probably gonna string a few transfers together based on next GWs results.

They won't.

Keep the faith brother.

Oh, and KDH was always coming in GW5.

I like KDH at 5

I fancy Gross from gw4-9

Salibas a good shout at 4.5. Should get the occasional bonus as well and the odd goal from a set piece.

its a difficult one to call as the team is playing really well right now so Arteta might opt to not change things, Tierney & Tomi though are really good fb's so if the levels drop they could easily replace Zinc & White if fit, Gabriel is 100% nailed & Saliba is a better player than White so he keeps his place too i think

Tierney is a threat to Zinchenko, Tomiyasu is a threat to White, White may be a threat to Gabriel and Saliba looks the best option.

very nice, gtg

Looks great goodluck

I would honestly consider Darwin over Robbo. The rest looks good

I like it!

Archer instead of Greenwood.

Thats my team, only James over Walker, Iversen over Sanchez and Bailey over Aaronsen. I would get Darwin If on WC.

Just anothe week…..another week……surely he plays……..do people think Mahrez plays?………

Bournemouth should be a game that will suit Pep to play Mahrez more than West Ham was, they defended very deep but looked like they wanted to counter quickly as they did in their game last season but City were set up very well to counteract that and stop it through their high pressing which isn't something Mahrez exactly exceeds at. Whether that's what Pep thinks though...

I'd sell for Foden.

i have 2, but i prefer 1 out of these options

1

2

Former

reply fail to above

Huh? Come again?

trz3n7

Anyone got the LMS league code?

yea gtg mate. who knows what will happen with perisic tho, may get benched again

I had a very similar team. I did Perisic out, because it really looks like he won't be getting starts yet.

i didn't see the game but you'd have to think its a possibility after a 2-0 loss

I think the issue was the midfield were not supplying the front 3. It's not that Bailey was bad. But it does entice me to bench him for the next game. Gerrard could revert to a front 2, but I don't think that where the problems lay. I'm thinking, 'Villa can't score, but neither can Everton'. So Cash gets one reprieve because Villa have a decent chance of a clean sheet, but Gerrard needs to reconfigure his attack before I start Bailey.

Always a risk, but given he played the full 90 I'd take the risk and play him.

I read that he was impressive despite Villa being poor.

He'll be a sub.
They'll sink without a trace.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle.

he's 33 so he's a spring chicken compared to Ronaldo

Can we have Payet back too?

A selfless gift to those inclined to mock

Yeah, put Andreas 1st sub

Mount to Saka is a better move

Yes I'm considering it. Good chance to be aggressive early season.

Yep. If you don’t want triple up you could even go Kulusevski? Spurs have Chelsea yes but fixtures after are good and they look great. Saka too, brilliant fixtures

Thanks all

Switch

Yep don’t mind it, but only if you don’t have other fires to put out. Honestly still think Kane will have a great season, but Darwin is 2.5 cheaper which is huge. Go for it

Both solid picks. Newcastle also looked really good against Forest. Dont see them conceding alot.

Slightly. Newcastle's next 4 are not that appealing

Am also thinking of that move but may also just hold.

He's been impressive that's for sure, but from what I saw of the Newcastle game so did Trippier and Newcastle in general looked good defensively. Still possible City sign a LB and Cancelo moves over or Stones plays at RB though

I feel you! Hold nerve for now…

Hey long way to go. Heads up and enjoy your week. Who knows next weekend might be yours

Good outlook to have on FPL.

Far better than the doom and gloom my season is over need to panic and wildcard merchants.

Wish you the best of success for gw2

Good outlook. At the end of the day the games about having fun. It’s not fun if you’re constantly beating yourself up over transfers not made etc etc (like I do haha). At the end of the day there’s a massive element of randomness that you can’t do anything about
