10:30 – CHELSEA ASSETS DROP IN PRICE
FPL 2023/24 player prices revealed: Live Tuesday updates 1

Raheem Sterling‘s £3.0m drop in starting price is the headline news from Chelsea’s four reveals.

The winger is now available for £7.0m, the cheapest he’s been in ten seasons.

There are parallels with Marcus Rashford’s dramatic reduction in cost last summer, the Manchester United man making a mockery of his price tag in 2022/23 with a double century of FPL points.

Sterling’s tallies of 10 attacking returns and 101 points last season were his worst since 2015/16.

But there’s hope that Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival can have a galvanising effect on the Blues after their disappointing 12th-place finish.

The opening fixtures for Chelsea, especially after Gameweek 1, are also very decent.

Elsewhere, full-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell will have plenty of suitors at £5.5m, given the attacking license they could be afforded under their new boss – if they stay fit, of course.

We only need to cast our minds back to 2021/22 for proof of what James is capable of when not in the physio room: he racked up 14 attacking returns despite making just 22 starts.

Mykhailo Mudryk drops by half a million after a goalless start to life in west London but, like so many others in this Chelsea squad, he’ll be hoping for improved fortunes in a season free from the turmoil and European distraction that we saw in 2022/23.

11:00 – CHEAP ROUTE INTO NEWCASTLE DEFENCE

The availability of Sven Botman for just £4.5m catches the eye, particularly after Kieran Trippier was priced up at £6.5m yesterday.

Newcastle were ranked joint-first for fewest goals conceded and joint-second for most clean sheets recorded in the Premier League last season.

Botman, although he didn’t score, was also a threat from set plays, racking up 22 shots in the box – only six FPL defenders had more.

A tricky opening fixture run is a bit of a deterrent, as perhaps is UEFA Champions League involvement given the busier schedule it will create.

It’s certainly a factor to consider when it comes to Alexander Isak, who was given a small price hike to £7.5m, given that he’ll be sharing pitch-time with Callum Wilson at home and abroad.

Midfielders Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton remain at £6.0m, with the arrival of Sandro Tonali not thought to be the catalyst for Bruno’s return to a more advanced number eight role.

Pre-season may tell us differently, however.

12:00 – BOWEN BACK DOWN TO £7.0M

Jarrod Bowen is back down to the middle of the mid-price range after starting last season at £8.5m.

At £7.0m, he’s still half a million more expensive than he was at the start of his superb 2021/22 campaign, in which he scored a double-century of points.

The West Ham United winger was among the bottom three FPL midfielders for xG underachievement last season (-3.42), suggesting he left some goals in the tank.

Michail Antonio has dropped by the exact same amount and is now a £6.0m forward.

A waning force at 33 years old, he nevertheless managed to finish the season as David Moyes’ first-choice striker despite the arrival of competition in the form of the injury-prone Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings.

The penalty-taking Said Benrahma remains unchanged at £6.0m.

While spot-kicks are in the Algerian’s favour, you’re never completely sure he’s going to start: he made the squad for all 38 league games last season but only started 22 of them.

Nayef Aguerd at £4.5m is a bit of a footnote after Botman’s listing at the same price earlier.

13:00 – NO CHANGES FOR FOUR PALACE PLAYERS

It’s as you were for the four Crystal Palace players priced up this lunchtime.

Sam Johnstone, Tyrick Mitchell and Marc Guehi are all £4.5m routes into the Eagles’ backline, while Odsonne Edouard is once again a £5.5m forward.

Palace actually had the division’s fourth-best defence for expected goals conceded (xGC) last season.

Johnstone started the last nine matches of the campaign between the sticks, averaging a very respectable 4.0 points per game.

With Michael Olise an early-season injury doubt and Wilfried Zaha potentially on his way, Edouard could have less competition for his place in a fluid frontline – although it’d be a surprise if the Eagles didn’t dip into the transfer market.

14:20 – RASHFORD UP TO £9.0m
FPL 2023/24 player prices revealed: Live Tuesday updates 7

Marcus Rashford‘s best-ever season for FPL points has been rewarded/punished with a £2.5m starting price rise.

Having been £3.5m cheaper than team-mate Bruno Fernandes a year ago, he’s now half a million more expensive at £9.0m.

Rashford plundered 17 goals in 2022/23, a tally beaten only by Mohamed Salah among FPL midfielders.

Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot have been handed modest price rises to £5.5m and £5.0m respectively.

There weren’t too many attacking returns from the pair but lots of bonus points: a combined 39, as United finished up with more clean sheets than any other team.

Shaw was more of a secure starter than Dalot, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka eating into the latter’s game-time at right-back.

After two seasons of failing to crack double figures for attacking returns, Jadon Sancho continues to slide in price.

The England international is now £7.0m, having originally been £9.5m upon his move from Borussia Dortmund.

15:15 – TARKOWSKI STILL £4.5m
FPL 2023/24 player prices revealed: Live Tuesday updates 6

As was the case with Palace earlier in the day, we’ve got four non-movers at Everton.

The midfield trio of Alex Iwobi, Dwight McNeil and Abdoulaye Doucoure are unchanged at £5.5m, while James Tarkowski is still a £4.5m defender.

McNeil was one of the success stories under Sean Dyche, with nine of his 12 attacking returns in 2022/23 arriving after Frank Lampard departed.

Tarkowski began the Dyche era with a bang, registering a 15-pointer in the 1-0 win over Arsenal.

Everton’s increasing reliance on, and strength, at free-kicks and corners should be good news for the former Burnley centre-half.

16:15 – MODEST RISE FOR ESTUPINAN

Solly March has followed Kaoru Mitoma in rising to £6.5m and so too has Pascal Gross.

Gross finished as Brighton’s top points scorer in FPL, a total of 17 attacking returns his best ever.

His superior points tally was also partly about being ‘nailed’ for the whole campaign, the German making 37 starts in all.

But Messrs Mitoma (5.3) and March (4.7) averaged more points per start than Gross (4.3), who was often deployed in a deeper central midfield role or even at right-back.

Gross may, however, have designs on penalty-taking duties following Alexis Mac Allister’s departure.

Someone else on Albion’s books who has spot-kick experience is Pervis Estupinan, who delivered more returns (goals and assists plus clean sheets for defenders) than any of his team-mates in 2022/23.

He has risen to £5.0m, the price he ended last season at.

Danny Welbeck, who hasn’t scored more than six league goals in any of the last nine seasons, is available as a £6.0m forward.

17:00 – SOLANKE RISES

So long, Solanke?

The Bournemouth striker wasn’t without his appeal in 2022/23, a mid-season dip to £5.5m from a starting price of £6.0m meant that he began to be snapped up by managers playing a 3-5-2 and needing Blank Gameweek cover.

But a starting price rise to £6.5m, after a campaign in which he scored only six goals, will be a deterrent to many this time.

Solanke did at least rack up more assists (10) than any other forward; his overachievement (+4.59) on the expected assists front offset by the xG disparity (-3.22).

Luton’s Amari’i Bell remains the only £4.0m defender priced up so far after Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi was listed at £4.5m.

Of the teams that survived, Bournemouth conceded the most goals and kept the joint-fewest clean sheets.

There’ll be little interest in Zabarnyi and there’ll be little interest in Joe Rothwell, who remains as a £5.0m midfielder despite contributing just one assist in 20 Premier League run-outs.

Hamed Traore, who was heavily involved at set plays in what little game-time injury allowed him, is also at £5.0m.

18:00 – MORENO UP TO £5.0m
FPL 2023/24 player prices revealed: Live Tuesday updates 10

We’ve now reached 80 players priced up for 2023/24, with Aston Villa the latest club to reveal the prices of four of their squad members.

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey and defender Alex Moreno, who have risen half a million to £6.0m and £5.0m respectively, may well be injured for Gameweek 1.

Ramsey looks set to miss the rest of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship with an ankle issue, while Moreno is making his way back from a hamstring injury.

Emi Buendia and compatriot Emi Martinez remain at the same starting prices, the former a £6.0m midfielder and the latter joining the ranks of the £5.0m goalkeepers.

18:20 – ‘EXCLUSIVE’ PRICE REVEALS INCLUDE ANOTHER £4.0m DEFENDER

FPL promised subscribers to their emails some exclusive price reveals, and eight have duly arrived this evening.

Another playing £4.0m defender is among them, following on from Amari’i Bell’s bargain-bin listing yesterday.

This time it’s Burnley centre-half Jordan Beyer, who looks about nailed as they come in the Clarets’ backline.

Vincent Kompany’s side had the best defensive record in the Championship last season.

Moving in the opposite direction is Neco Williams, now available for a pricier £4.5m despite questions over his game-time at Nottingham Forest.

There’s another positional change and it’s not a shock one, with Cody Gakpo reclassified as a £7.5m forward after being predominantly used as the spearhead of the Liverpool attack by Jurgen Klopp.

One of Chelsea’s new signings, Nicolas Jackson, is another new addition to the forward pool, this time coming in at £7.0m.

There are two goalkeeper additions, with Nick Pope promoted to the upper echelons of the £5.5m premium bracket and Sheffield United’s Wes Foderingham listed at £4.5m.

The instantly forgettable Allan Campbell and Jordan Ayew are both midfielders, priced up at £5.0m and £5.5m respectively.

Luton’s Campbell wasn’t even starting by the time the Hatters got to the play-offs, while Ayew delivered less than 10 attacking returns for the seventh time in eight seasons.

20:00 – SAKA RISES, HAVERTZ A MIDFIELDER

Kai Havertz has been reclassified as a midfielder following his move from Chelsea to Arsenal.

It’s a slight departure from how FPL usually recategorise players, with a player’s most-occupied position of the previous season (centre-forward in Havertz’s case) usually the deciding factor.

But it’s a sensible move, particularly as Mikel Arteta has all but told us that the German will be playing in midfield for the Gunners.

Havertz’s £7.5m price is intriguing, too, coming in one million cheaper than Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.

Saka was another one of the four Arsenal players priced up tonight, coming in slightly cheaper than some of us had been expecting at £8.5m.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.0m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) are identically priced to what they were 12 months ago.

20:05 – FOUR MORE ‘EXCLUSIVE’ PRICES REVEALED VIA THE APP

Where have all the £4.5m midfielders gone?

Harrison Reed is moved up by half a million as we still await our first lowest-tier option from midfield.

The Fulham man did, in fairness, contribute seven attacking returns last season, but he’ll be dead as a Fantasy option now as FPL bosses seek that elusive £4.5m playing option in the engine room.

Tyrone Mings (£4.5m) is a cheap-looking way into the Aston Villa backline but there’ll be concerns about his game-time with Pau Torres incoming and Diego Carlos back to full fitness.

Lukasz Fabianski drops back to being a £4.5m goalkeeper for the first time since 2018/19, while new Brighton and Hove Albion signing Joao Pedro has been classified as a forward and handed a budget £5.5m tag.

20:50 – NO MORE PRICE REVEALS TODAY

FPL have wrapped up their own liveblog so that’s us done for price reveals for the day.

We’re 96 players down already and there’ll be more to come on Wednesday – the game’s launch might even follow on the same day.

    Slouch’s dream boy Mount leaves Chelsea for Man Utd. Their best academy player since JT 20 years ago. Yes that’s right 20 years and no homegrown players brought through.

    Havertz went to a bigger club looking for real fans too.

    Spend £700m in less than a year, appointed Spurs legend as new manager.

    Such a confused club.

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Selling a homegrown player was essential for their FFP as those players transfer fees go straight into profit revenue (as they didn't cost a transfer fee originally). And Recce James is their best homegrown player, brought through from the academy.

  4. Alan Watts
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Its akready been saud, but 442 way to go...rather than a 451 or 352

    Solid attacking defenders...

    Solid mid priced mids given range of options

    A mid priced forward alongside Haaland allowing some flexibility to change based on form, fixtures etc

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Yeah I'm set up 442 atm. Started with that last season too and went from there.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        I usually start that way but always revert to 343.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years

      5 mids looks inevitable for me, probably 352

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        That 5th mid instead of a 4th slot 5 to 5.5m defender hard to fund from budget

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years

          With Salah? I haven't started tinkering yet actually but will probably go with something like Saka Martinelli Rashford Mitoma + 1

          1. Alan Watts
            • 5 Years
            10 months, 16 days ago

            If your getting TAA then not much left for 5th mid...sime goid value at 6.5 though Mboomo, Eze etc

            1. Alan Watts
              • 5 Years
              10 months, 16 days ago

              *No Salah

              I probably won't get Trent initially. He is quite pricey & I want to have a look at Pool's tactical changes (with their new midfield) first. Might go for something cheapish like Shaw Stones White/Zinc

              1. Alan Watts
                • 5 Years
                10 months, 16 days ago

                Fair point on TAA, bit doubtful myself....

                Tricky opening fixtures suggests lack of cs and large hauls, though he could return in every match like end of season

                1. Alan Watts
                  • 5 Years
                  10 months, 16 days ago

                  Could be TAA in a back 4 vs a 8.5m mid in a midfield 5...

    3. pratts18
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 16 days ago

      I always like 343 with guys like Solanke, Mitrovic up front with Haaland.

  5. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Easiest fpl season on record. Everyone can buy everyone.
    The casuals won

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      8 million at joint first then. I reckon there's still a bit of wiggle through for nuance mate.

  6. Drumandbaines123
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Anyone else eyeing up Mo Salah as their differential for the start of the season?

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Is there much point if haaland perma c?

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      No. They've priced Rashford, Saka, Fernandes and Odegaard too low to even consider Salah imo.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Looks like it. But casuals are still going to get Salah. However, I haven't done any math yet.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Rashford to Salah means Øde to 5.5 or Brownhill.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Just having a look at it, doesn't look too bad.

    4. Eyes of Blue
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Not for me. Too many kindly priced mids with better opening fixtures.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Salah got 239 points and has been on decline (not his fault though) and 3 best Ars mids averaged over 200 pts each. I can't find anyone who is 3.5 million cheaper than them and likely to get around 170 points during the season. I know it doesn't go exactly like this, but roughly anyway. Captaincy plays role, but not enough, especially because of Haaland. No room for Salah now.

  7. Eyes of Blue
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Not seen many 3-4-3’s on here.

    Ramsdale
    TAA - James - Estupinan
    Rashford - Saka - Mitoma - Mbeumo
    Haaland - Jesus - Nkunku

    4.0 - 4.5 - Beyer - Bell

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      That just might work. But no Bruno, no Øde or Martinelli. Mitoma, Mbeumo, Nkunku and Jesus are all bigger risks compared to those 3

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Smashing team.

  8. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Providing Saliba comes in at 5.5m and Diaz at 7.5m, I think I’ll go with this and bank the 0.5m.

    Pickford 4.0
    TAA Saliba Estupinian Porro Fofana
    Saka Odegaard Diaz Mbeumo 4.5
    Haaland Gakpo Wissa

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Not fancy, a now much cheaper, Sterling anymore?

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Yeah all over it; will look to move GW3/4.

  9. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Anybody looking at a 451?

    4.5
    TAA Shaw Saliba Botman
    Bruno Odegaard Saka Rashford Mitoma
    Haaland

    4.0 4.0 4.5 4.5

    1. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Looks good...

      Botman a great option but tricky opening fixtures...and like the option of a CHE defender and/or Estupinan in a back 4

      Lack of a second forward an issue if Wilson starts firing etc

  10. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Wonder what the EO of these teams are going to be? EO so ignoring a 4.0 bench fodder

    Luton
    Sheff Utd
    Burnley
    Bournemouth
    Fulham
    Forest
    Everton
    Wolves
    Palace
    West Ham

    That's the negative of the pricing for me - you basically can ignore half the teams in the league

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Might pick my GK from that group. Probably a few takers for Bowen. Wolves very low with Sa at 5m

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Yup. You used to pretty much have to have 2-3 starting players from the lower teams and they would also cover all your bench options.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        This is true.price them ultra low and make people think and encourage squad diversity. What are your thoughts and hopes for The Toon this season ?

      10 months, 16 days ago

      Spot on. Why not give these teams bargain basement prices or increase the gap in pricing between them and the other 10 to make us actually want to consider them. At it stands it's pretty much pointless them even being there.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Watching "these" teams to play used be interesting if you had even one player from them. Pricing is doing now harm to TV rights marketing. PL is shooting at their leg imo.

    5. pratts18
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 16 days ago

      I am sure players like Solanke, Mitrovic, Eze to name a few will feature popularly.

  12. x.jim.x

    10 months, 16 days ago

    West Ham with the heist of the century - £105m for Rice, payable over 2 years. £35m every 8 months. Proper pants down.

    1. Sure You Did
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 16 days ago

      He is completely average. Along with Havertz and the outlay, they have well and truly had their pants pulled down.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Rice is not average at all. He's a very good player. Will be interesting to see how he settles with the extra pressure on him though.

          He’ll could be playing for Arsenal for the next 10 years. Arsenal finally showing ambition after a good season.

          United just bought Casemiro for £70m and he’s about to turn 32. No value there.

          1. x.jim.x
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 16 days ago

            Casemiro was coming from Real Madrid off the back of a CL win. He also improved the team ten-fold.

            You’ve took Rice off West Ham after winning the Conf League. He won’t make you better than you were with P*rtey.

            1. Bartowski
              • 13 Years
              10 months, 16 days ago

              Slightly less chance of Rice going to jail for the two charges Partey is currently on extended bail for though...

              1. x.jim.x
                • 9 Years

                Should be locked up for that Muller Rice advert.

  13. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    The beginning of this season may see some squad variation due to player pricing and different strategies. Can only be a good thing if there is no template.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      With better pricing we would see more variation.

  14. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    I see the “influencers” have already decided the template for this season. Good to see the guns being sucked out before the game is even released this year.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Haven't looked twitter or tube, but been active here. I fear that "influencers" have made same conclusions as most of us here 🙁

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      There are still many players who will have a huge influence who haven’t been priced yet. They are all fos and should be ignored at this stage.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Who are they? Some defenders, KdB and Martinelli who will be 8.5? What happens in transfer market and how preseason goes and possible injuries have bigger affect on our teams than those prices.

  15. im1974
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    3 teams & Wolves to go. Launch imminent. Loving the pricing. 86m to pick 14 players. Any template will be a myth for GW1....

  16. K4pril
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    Jao Pedro been decent for me 2 years ago with some Watford goals together with Dennis.
    Is he going to be proper bench warmer or is there a chance of regular starts?

    4.5/4
    5/5.5/5.5/4.5/4
    9/8.5/6.5/6.5/9
    14/7.5/5.5

    0.5 IB

    would punt on him for these 2 oppening fixtures

  17. Stamford B
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    What is this template you speak of? Is Haaland the only big hitter in it?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      There isn’t a template, most players haven’t even been priced yet.

      1. Stamford B
        • 2 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        I know but there’s a few posts referring to it so I thought I wonder what it is. There probably will be a template as there always is eventually, but my first thoughts are that there could be two or three variations to it but we’ll have to wait and see I suppose.

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        People on here started doing RMTs with made up prices let alone now there's a few released.

              Or bored...

  18. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    I had another go in the hope that there will be two 4.0 defenders - Bell/Beyer.
    A 3-5-2
    Pickford (4.0)
    -
    Shaw-Estupinan-TAA (Bell/Beyer)
    -
    Saka-Odergaard-Rashford-Mbeumo-Gross
    -
    Haaland-Mitrovic (4.5)

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      Think gross is on pens now?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Yeah I read either Estupinan or Gross on pens. Have a soft spot for Gross - got me a good score on BB. Gross’ versatility is another plus point.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 14 days ago

      No Arsenal defence will be a real pain in the butt, I'm on something similar but with Martinelli over Odegaard which allows Ramsdale in goal. Mitrovic/Gakpo/Nkunku

  19. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 16 days ago

    So my midfield will have:

    Rashford and BrunoF - bargains & penalties & rotate (C) with Haaland
    Saka and Ødegaard - great fixtures & penalties
    Groß and March/Mitoma - fixtures, value & penalties
    Sterling - underpriced, great fixtures from GW3
    Salah/Son if no Kane in the game.

    The thing is everyone will have these eight to ten midfielders - how can we break up the template with such low prices (Oh wait...what's that?... I can only have five...and I won't be able to afford TAA...)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      I've seen similar talk on Twitter but the template was always 20+25 players in different combos at different times.

      It also struggled pre World Cup and it was only really the second wildcard and BB that turned it around for those playing a template game.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Early morning here and not a Twit/Twatter so forgive me if it's been said all evening elsewhere. I think the midfield pricing is good and all this talk of players being underpriced from earlier on failed to see that it actually helps break up the template at least in midfield - though forwards and defence might end up with two early templates based on whether you have TAA or not.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 16 days ago

      We want to break up the template? Did I miss something?

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        Didn't mean to startle you so early in the morning. It's OK. Finish your coffee and taking your dog for a stroll.

    I like the way they’re updating the predicted line ups with the new signings. It’d be good if they carry that on as the friendlies kick in. It’d help me anyway.

      That's terrible.

    2. AC/DC AFC

      I've seen that but not the cause.

      Guessing a vehicle of some kind.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 16 days ago

        I would have thought someone would have reported on it if it was a traffic accident of some kind because it's public. Still could be though. Could be an accident at home maybe? But yeah. Who knows. Not great either way.

        1. SpaceCoyote97
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year

          He's American, so it could have happened in the US.

        2. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 7 Years
          10 months, 16 days ago

          Fun fact: 1,300,000 people are killed in car accidents every year

          Not that the press ever report that. Too busy brainwashing the masses to hate cyclists.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 16 days ago

            I see more cyclists breaking rules than cars these days (personally)

            1. FourLokoLeipzig
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              10 months, 16 days ago

              I mean, you can’t “see” motorists driving 35mph in a 30, but it happens all the time. And it kills and seriously injures lots of people, disproportionately those who are more vulnerable, without even factoring in air pollution and climate breakdown. It’s actually pretty hard to kill anyone on a bike. I know you said “personally” and I’m probably over-reacting, but I (diplomatically) deal with this false equivalence in my day job - this place is normally a nice escape where we argue about important things like Declan Rice!

              1. GREEN IS GOOD
                • 7 Years
                10 months, 16 days ago

                Exactly

              2. Zenith UK

                10 months, 15 days ago

                I can if I'm doing 30 and they're going past me?

                I was literally just in a two-car-write off accident because a cyclist was;

                a) riding on the pavement
                b) thought they could beat the Audi to the PEDESTRIAN crossing whilst the WALK now sign was red.

                I'm now paying the price in physio, insurance, time and more.

                I genuinely only really see car drivers speeding or undertaking. Cyclists break a whole host of rules from my personal perspective.

                1. FourLokoLeipzig
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  10 months, 15 days ago

                  I’m sorry you were in an accident and wish you a full recovery. I don’t know if cyclists break a wider variety of rules, but there seems to be some evidence they break them less often, and that speeding (which, again, is frequently deadly) is the most common misdemeanour by motorists: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/10/cyclists-break-far-fewer-road-rules-than-motorists-finds-new-video-study/amp/

                  1. Zenith UK
                    • 7 Years
                    10 months, 15 days ago

                    Should never have been in the accident. Typical of them to flee the scene too.

                    Appreciate the well wishes, not a fun recovery this one.

                    I don't disagree with the studies but if you took speeding out of the equation, something that's nearly impossible for a lot of cyclists, I'd be interested to see the results then.

              I saw an interview with a west midlands traffic officer who had been in the job for 30+ years. He said that drivers and cyclists break the rules at the same rate, but when drivers break the rules people die or end up crippled or with limbs amputated.

              Also, in the UK more people are killed by bees or by cows than by cyclists. Funny how the right wing media never tell the truth about reality if it doesn't fit their narrative.

                Yeah, it’s challenging trying to change the narrative at this point. Not just the right-wing media to be fair - we’ve spent decades hardwiring the imbalance into our society:

                Right wing media are pro Bees & Cows ?

                  I mean, I didn’t see the Mail calling for bees to have flying licences and/or insurance after this recent horror story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-66030598

                Cyclists are fine , groups of cyclists are not .

                  Do you mean groups of cyclists who cycle 2/3/4/5/6 abreast so they can have a chat? I am a part time cyclist myself but that does annoy me when I am driving, especially on a narrow road.

                    Yes , we get loads on a weekend where I live . No consideration or respect for other roads users .

                    When I cycle my biggest issue is pedestrians, especially in town , they do crazy things all not paying any attention.

                I mean agreed people rarely die from cyclists messing up, but doesn't mean they don't cause their fair share of issues.

              I cycle a Raleigh Budgie because it was the first bike I ever cycled. You have to peddle backwards to break- absolutely lethal!

                Love those brakes, you can do the best skids. Mine friend used to have a Raleigh Grifter when we were kids.

                  I got my first (of many) stitches as a kid when I cycled down a hill and skidded into a tree. Still have the scar on my forehead but scars add character to your face so I don't mind!

                    That’s true. I also found taking up smoking fags made me look cool too and made me a hit with the girls.

                  I had a Grifter. You could bend the front rubber bumper backwards so it rubbed against the tyre and a bruummm type noise. Brilliant!

                              The glue that holds us all together imo.

                                Sometimes the mucus holds us together whether we like it or not. This is what I have learned.

              Wonder if fpl waiting for Kane transfer to United before pricing him, hmmm

              1. Mirror Man
                  10 months, 15 days ago

                  He'll probably sign a 4 year contract with Spurs then put in a transfer request each year thereafter and then just retire. Seems like that kinda guy.

                10 months, 16 days ago

                The more I look at it the more I'm liking a 451 with 5 mid range mids in midfield and Haaland, no TAA

                Rashford.Odegaard. Martinelli. Son. Foden/Bruno/Other

                Allows easy switches or downgrades to emerging budget options

                Not really liking forwards outside of Wilson who has tricky fixtures

                1. Yes Ndidi
                  • 4 Years
                  10 months, 16 days ago

                  Shades of this time last year when we were all over the 8m mids.
                  I'm thinking the other extreme based on what we know so far:
                  Johnstone (4.0)
                  Chilwell Estu Botman (Mitchell Beyer)
                  Saka Bruno Rash Mbeumo (4.5)
                  Haaland Gakpo Jesus
                  Still leaves 1.5ITB for tweaks when we know more

                  1. Alan Watts
                    • 5 Years
                    10 months, 16 days ago

                    Yeah at first glance but...its different this time round with pricing

                    2 Ars mids obvious given fixtures

                    Rashford and / or Bruno, Manu with 2 good home fuxtures in first 3

                    Thats 3 or 4 spots. Then theres the rest...Son, Foden etc

                    Dont like Gakpo , Jesus, very short on returns last season

                Son is cheap but if Kane leaves he loses appeal

                  • 7 Years
                  10 months, 14 days ago

                  Have you seen his record when Kane doesn't play, Son has potential to score 250 points with or without Kane.

                Brighton’s best midfielder.

                The big debate for Brighton - Mitoma or Solly March? Or possibly Enciso? At time of post, Mitoma in 39.4% and Enciso in 11.4%. My question is why aren’t more people talking about Pascal Gross? Top points scorer last season and with Mac Allister gone may get more of a chance on pens and set plays? Still only 32…..
