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.

    Tarkowski 4.5
    Mcneil Doucore Iwobi all 5.5

      meh. Hopefully Patterson is still 4.0

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Outside chance Branthwaite will be 4m and a starter at the beginning.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Not a horrendous price for Tarkowski. He's in the game at least with that price.

      Doucore could play a part if he picks up some of that Watford form. He was bombing forward towards the end of last season, think Dyche likes to see that from him.

      McNeil is a Dyche favourite. £5m would have been a fairer price I think.

        Tark v Botman?

    3. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good price for McNeil after 12 returns last season, though difficult to see there being room for him given the other midfielder prices

  2. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    My current dilemma is in midfield.

    Suppose the prices are:
    9.0 Rashford and Saka
    8.5 Bruno and Odegaard

    If I want 3 of them, who misses out??

    (rhetorical question - I don't need help!)

    1. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Very good (rhetorical) question, I'm probably going for the first three with no Odegaard. I think being able to afford 3 of them rather than just 1 makes only going with one premium worth it

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Exactly, hence not going Salah.

  3. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    I think this structure is what I'm gonna go for:

    4.5, 4.0
    5.5, 5.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0
    Salah, Bruno, 9.0, 6.5, Brownhill
    Haaland, 7.5, 4.5

    It's a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2. Really simple structure with good price points. Two premiums for captaincy while squeezing in a Son or Rashford at the 9.0 slot.

    Having Salah, Bruno and Haaland just makes the spine of the team really solid. And Brownhill at 5.0m will be this year's Andreas.

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      How can Brownhill be this years Andreas when Andreas was 4.5?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Because 0.5m doesn't matter that much and Brownhill has become a set piece specialist so fulfills a similar role to Andreas. Chief creator for the Championship winners.

        1. Dat Guy Welbz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Of course 0.5 million matters, can price you out of countless moves. How many times have you been priced out of a move you wanted to make by 0.5 million or less. If I’m gonna chuck a mid on my bench, he better be 4.5 million.

          1. Dat Guy Welbz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Oh wait, I see you’re gonna start him most/every week which makes him viable ofc. But nobody was really doing that with Andreas. Only downside with that could be lack of flexibility to get him out, as we saw with Leon Bailey last season.

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              Yep. I plan to just play him every week and hope he pulls a Charlie Adam at Blackpool. (Also started at 5m and was insane).

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Not far off what I have in mind albeit forgoing Salah for 5 strong mids.
      But I'd rather take a reliable 5m goalkeeper, unless Steele or Raya come in at 4.5

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I don't want to forgo Salah because of captaincy in the event that Haaland gets injured/rested. Salah + Brownhill is better than x2 8.5s to start the season imo. You can always flatten it out later but it's much easier to start with Salah and downgrade than doing it the other way around.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Do you still see Salah as a much stronger captaincy candidate than Saka / Rashford? I think I'm fine capping them if anything happens to Haaland

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Yes, I do.

            Saka actually was one of the main reasons I DIDN'T make top 10K last year. He's not on Salah's level of consistency.

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          I don't see Haaland getting rested for the first few GWs. Having Rashford, Bruno, Saka in my midfield covers any vice-captaincy.

          I also figured TAA+ a 4.5 fwd is inferior to a 4.5 def+8m fwd given the quality of 4.5 defenders.

          1. TheTinman
            • 8 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Yup, the rotation doesn't usually kick in seriously till around Xmas onwards

        3. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          There is no difference in difficulty whether you sell or buy Salah+Brownhill if you have enough money in two midfield players. However, C Salah come gw2 does have some merit. But Liv could win 9-0 and Salah still blank.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            There is a difference. I can/might want to keep Brownhill.

            I can do Salah > whoever and keep Brownhill. Whereas the other way around forces me to sell both the mid-priced mids one of which I might want to keep.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      No Arsenal mid?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Could be my 9.0m slot. Saka at 9m will be attractive as an option.

    4. mdm
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      You start without Ars attacker?

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Interesting so that means you are going no TAA. On the Brownhill pick/Burnley more of gw9 pick?

    6. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Brownhill is such a waste of a mid slot with the amount of options available

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I don't agree because Salah + Brownhill is the best use of 17m imo.

        1. MosF94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Better than Bruno and Odegaard or (probably) Martinelli?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Yes I think so. Call me crazy. But I do rate Brownhill and Salah is Salah.

            Bruno is locked in my team regardless.

    7. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I like the structure on the whole but not Brownhill. If I was to compare with a Fulham midfielder it would be Cairney when they last came up. Also 5.0, on set pieces but deeper lying than Pereira.

      Could prove me wrong of course but, having brought Cairney in a couple of years ago, I’m getting scared off Brownhill! So many midfield options, I’ll look elsewhere

    8. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Bruno and Rashford is being greedy. Man Utd are not good enough in attack to warrant that much of your budget IMO.

      With a few decent £6.5-£7m options in midfield now I think Son suddenly doesn't look that much of a bargain again

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        That 9.0m slot is really flexible. Son, Rashford, Odegaard, Saka, Maddison, Grealish, Foden whatever.

      2. MosF94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Two very favourable home fixtures in the first 3, not at all unreasonable to have both

    9. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      The main difference in teams this year I think will be Salah + a cheaper 5th mid or 2nd def vs TAA + a stacked midfield. I'm leaning towards the latter.

    10. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Also, what happened to all the sterling hype you were on before :p

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I'm not gonna buy the likes of Sterling and Darwin to start the year. But that doesn't mean they aren't underpriced when/if they become nailed.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Well that's a given. They're priced the way they are because it's unlikely that they'll ever become fully nailed.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            I don't think that's right! I think in FPL you're always playing in bursts of like 4-5 weeks. A player that is capable of hauling 50 points in that short time frame given their explosive potential and the team they play for should be priced up as a result.

            I think the likes of Sterling, Darwin, even Alvarez should have a 1m tax on their price and that will make them lesser owned all season but reward the managers who can time their transfer in correctly.

            1. TheBiffas
              • 3 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              I agree with you. But it is always difficult to get the timing right. Get it wrong, and that player becomes a 1-pointer waste of space. That's why I'd never call Sterling or Darwin a bargain. It's like making a bet. Either it pays off or it doesn't.

        2. Haa-lala-land
          • 3 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          You can't have it both ways.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            I absolutely can. A player can be underpriced and not a perfect option to start the season. They're not mutually exclusive. How many people started with Rashford last year? He was clearly underpriced and yet very few people had him in their starting team. He dropped from 6.5m > 6.3m and only started rising again in GW6 after a haul vs Arsenal.

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 3 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

      Considering TAA over Salah?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I could come around to no Salah but my instinct is to start with him and then see where we are in a few weeks.

    13. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I see better value in a 4-5-1, despite the obvious drawbacks of that formation.

      I want to play with five midfielders each week and would rather have a 4.5m defender on the bench than a 4.5 or 5.0m midfielder, especially given the fact that we're getting defenders from top-half sides priced at 4.5m.

    14. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      With Shaw, Chilwell and James being far more competitively priced than Trent and Trippier I agree there seems no need to spend more than 5.5 on any defender, at least to start with. With the likes of Botman at 4.5 your structure should be very good defensively.
      My only worry Is your Eleventh starter is likely to be pretty weak, but I guess with Harland and Salah that is a price you have to pay.

      Also by allocating 100M you will be priced out of any replacements should they rise by even .1

  4. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    Saka and Martinelli double up as the main mids from the start could be the play.

    2. Bobby Digital

      Arguably you've got 2 with Trent and Haaland comparatively and the midfield isn't light.

      Midfield is where the points generally are.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Looking good, you won't want to start Botman much though, would rather an Arsenal defender with those fixtures?

      TAA Shaw Estupinan

      It's not AI - it will just pick team from somewhere because it is not trained to pick fantasy team but people with surely fall for that though

    a no Haaland draft actually looks really really nice, it would take a lot of bottle to not have him as a captaincy option every week, but there is a lot of alternatives in this team i scrambled up, which is full of nailed on talismen and pen takers, plus any of the mid priced forwards can be swapped around easily enough

    Johnstone
    Taa, Shaw, Saliba
    Salah, Rashford, Saka, Mbuemo
    Watkins, DCL, Awoniyi

    4.0, Botman, 4.5, 4.0,

    0.5itb based on known and expected prices

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Don't want to burst your balloon but that is a truly awful team

      1. MosF94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Bit harsh, I'd say - midfield looks really good, defence good, not a bad choice of keeper. Forward line is questionable, but Watkins was pretty great in the second half of last season, Awoniyi great at the end (bad fixtures though, I'd avoid to start), and if DCL is fit, his first 4 fixtures are arguably better than anyone's (definitely a risky/differential pick, though)

        1. lugs
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          this, like i said the mid priced forwards can be swapped around easily

        2. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          The midfield and defence are great I agree. No Haaland in itself could be seen as downright stupid, but if you prefer to call it ballsy, you can use that money in so many better ways than OP has done here.

          1. lugs
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            its just an experimental team mate to see what a no Haaland draft would look like, i like the balance and flexibility of it for sure, Salah for instance could be a massive differential who could beat Haaland's total score this year if back to anywhere near his best, just something to ponder

            1. TheBiffas
              • 3 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              Fair enough. Sorry for being harsh 🙁

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      No Haaland and no City full stop just feels like an unnecessarily risk. Opening fixtures are BUR, NEW, SHU, FUL, WHU, NFO, WOL - he will have close to 200% EO for most of those I'd imagine - could risk being hugely left behind early on without him.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Or in pole position for the FPL crown 😎

      It was looking OK until I read DCL - You could put Odergaard instead of Saka and change DCL to Mitrovic?

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        i can get Mitro easily with a slight bit of tinkering, i do like DCL's fixtures to begin with though

    7. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I agree with the point, if not the team. I'm leaning heavily towards no Haaland, and wildcarding him in from GW4. I just don't think he is the best (and certainly not the most exciting) captain pick in any of the first 3 games.

      And the squad you can assemble if you (properly) redistribute funds is frightening IMO and allows you to attack those first 3 games very hard.

      For GWs 4 to 7, I think not owning Haaland goes from maverick to suicidal though. But gw 4 is a good time to jump on early on the value picks from the other teams, with only the early IBs and Euro rotation being a downside.

    8. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Worst team I've seen so far this season

    9. OverTinker

      Haaland will outscore combined score of your 3 forwards most weeks

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        i doubt that, when any of them forwards can be any forward 8m or below, the whole point of that mid priced forward line is that i'll never cap them, but they are nailed and can consistently chip in with points as they will be getting brought in and out depending on fixtures, it would be more fair to compare Haaland to whoever i'd captain on that week, Sako or Rash gw1, Salah gw2 etc

    10. Twelve years a slave

      On here you will never get support for any team that is different. This forum acts like a template builder, any attempt to deviate will be met with negativity.

      Best not to ask, and just do. Look at last seasons FPL winner, a few of his picks and captain choices would have been laughed off this forum.

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        i live or die on my own decisions, it didn't work last year as i had a crap season, it worked the year before though when i had a really good one, but yeah some folk take it personally when you don't pick the players they have 😆

      2. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Like someone else said - Haaland will outscore all 3 of his strikers most weeks. I get the point if he was putting in Kane or some other big hitter, but there’s a fine line between ballsy and stupidity (relying on Calvert Lewin to be fit)

        1. lugs
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          i'll know before gw1 if DCL is fit or not, whether he makes it to gw2 or not is a different story, but if you actually don't look at the names in the forward slot and just see mid price price points then look at the rest of the price points and structure then you realize that this was actually the template structure in seasons past

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

            DCL looks like a shadow of the player he once was though, injuries have scuppered him. Plus I think is a bit overpriced IMO.
            If you are going Everton I would much prefer - Tarkowski/Pickford/Keane - defence. Or even McNeill
            --
            I am going Pickford by the way - save points

            Fair play for trying something different by the way. there is always a chance it works and you get a great start ahead of the curve. There are plenty of ways structures/strategy to get points in FPL - there is not only one way.

        This. Go with what you think is best

        People are always going to trash this team here because it’s different and away from the group think but you can’t get too caught up in what others do

        Innovators think ahead of the pack and make decisions which seem absolutely crazy to most. There will be failure at times but it also comes with the biggest rewards

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        True enough although with those first 5 fixtures I'm not sure a Newcastle defender is the way to go from the start

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          I'll just stick him on my bench as 4th defender.

          1. JabbaWookiee
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            That's one strategy. He's not exactly locking in a lot of cash. Any love for Burn over Botman?

            1. TheBiffas
              • 3 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              Don't think so. Aren't they trying to sign a left back?

              1. JabbaWookiee

                • 9 Years
                11 months, 5 days ago

                Heard they wanted Tierney but seems to have lost momentum. Still that would imply they are looking to strengthen in that position which indeed wouldn't bode well for Burn.

    11 months, 5 days ago

    Nobody else thinks Brighton might struggle a bit this year?

    They've lost MacAllister. Likely to lose Caicedo. That's the heartbeat of their team.

    Manager could suffer from 2nd season syndrome.

    1st year in Europe, teams notoriously struggle in the league.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I don't see them up to the levels of last season, but they've got plenty good fixtures so long as you got someone to rotate with Estu, and a 6.5 mid is still value.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Predicted to finish 8th, but I wouldn't be surprised if they finished bottom half as it stands - dependant on what happens for the rest of the summer of course (transfer window, injuries etc)

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Youre not wrong. They were unable to play well when the midweek doubles tired them out. Europe will wreck that squad.

        Yes, i think i will avoid Mitoma as well. That CM will be a big loss. Will be nice is Ferguson is 4.5 again 🙂

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yep. I really rate De Zerbi but Caicedo and Mac Allister are massive losses. Will have to see what they're able to do with the money. As it stands I'm going with only one Brighton asset - Estupinan.

          Huh? Without all the prices, I dont think there is such a thing yet. We need the City and Arsenal defenders prices at the very least first.

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Don't take everything too seriously 😉 We all know that pre-season template changes a lot before gw1.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yeah I'm likely to go with this

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Arsenal defender essential, trust me not having one last season killed me

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Thinking Ode + White (expecting 5.0) to Rash + Botman in GW6

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          That would be a bit cheap for an arsenal defender!

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            With Botman at 4.5, I wouldn't be too surprised. Expecting at least one of them to be 5.0

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              Tomiyasu maybe lol

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Saliba on the bench a few times with double digit scores - was worse!

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Meanwhile James scores an 18 pointer in GW1 😉

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Then everyone buys him and he gets injured 25 minutes into the next game

    6. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Arsenal defence, City defence, James/Chilwell - plenty of options to break from that template

    7. I Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Arsenal defender over Shaw for me I think.

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

        Shaw is brilliant for those bonus points - to the point of silliness. In nearly every game I watched live FF Fix had him in or around the bonus.
        Shaw was always going to be the lock player on my team - can't believe he is only 5.5.

  18. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Botman 4.5 ? That's weird

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      With those fixtures he could actually be trap when casuals start selling him. There is usually lure or two for the casuals. This season it's him.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Can easily bench him for the City and Liverpool games at that price.

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          This. Even if his price drops during this period it doesn’t matter because he’s worth keeping for the long term.

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            I have said this to myself many times, but that player has more than often gotten long term injury 🙁

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        We don't need to own him at the start

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          If you don't plan an early WC, it's probably best to get him in place imo.

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I will get Botman when he is 4.3 gameweek 4 in that case.

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Except you don’t really want to be spending a transfer on that in GW4.

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      It is weird but what is weirder is when I pick him up in week 4 for 4.3 m.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I was 2 minutes faster to write similar message 😉

  19. Haa-lala-land

    I see the words template and essential are already being flung around.
    Yet we are so quick to apportion blame to content creators

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      Same story every season, broken record

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I don't use any of those silly terms. To me it is the dumbing down of the English language. Fodder, hauls etc. It shows a lack of imagination. 'Essential' is one of the silliest I constantly see.
      It is an oxymoron. The fpl game is a completely fluid one, no player is 'essential' what is most important is that good form is spotted before the masses and you switch to those form players.

    3. Arteta

      Oh, the irony...

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    GW1 ownership last season (top 10k FPL ID's so basically FPL addicts):

    Alexander-Arnold 97%
    Salah 94%
    Jesus 93%
    Ward 92%
    Cancelo 85%
    Martinelli 73%
    Bailey 69%
    James 67%
    Robertson 63%
    Haaland 57%
    Kane 42%
    Neto 41%
    Ramsdale 32%
    Trippier 26%
    Luis Díaz 22%
    Walker 20%
    Saka 19%
    Mount 17%
    Rashford 13%
    Perišić 12%

    1. lugs

      11 months, 5 days ago

      the community shield last year massively boosted Liverpool players already high ownership, after beating City 3-1 who would have predicted that Pool would be so bad for so long

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        The Pool players got massive scores in GW4 though

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        And Haaland was bring written off as the next Werner

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      My takeaway from this is that the absolute must haves on this list were the 10th and 11th (and 14th 17th and 19th) most owned players. And there is some utter dross who were more owned than both of them.

      Worth bearing in mind when people start trashing teams on here for being marginally different.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I fell for the Bailey preseason one - wildcarded him out gw3 - left Saliba on the bench with 11 - scored below average 36 captained Jesus.
      Bench boosted gw4 scored 100.
      The game can change quickly!
      --
      I never understood the Neto pick - Wolves could not hit a a barn door. The main problem with Bailey was Gerrard did not start him regularly.

  21. TanN
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    What do we reckon Julian Alvarez's starting price will be? Even at 7.5 I would be tempted to take a punt...

    Would be interesting to see if Pep switches from the 3-2-4-1:

    Ederson
    Ake Dias Akanji
    Rodri Stones
    Grealish KDB Kovacic Foden
    Haaland

    ...to a 3-2-3-2 which could look like:

    Ederson
    Ake Dias Gvardiol
    Rodri Stones
    Grealish KDB Foden
    Haaland Alvarez

    (some would argue that grealish KDB foden is not balanced enough - understandably - but kovacic may take time to adjust and if we do sign gvardiol then the strength in defence could warrant that attacking front 5).

    Alvarez scored 9 goals earning himself 103 points with a 161 minutes per goal ratio.

    To compare:

    Watkins = 209min per goal
    Isak = 152mins per goal
    Mitrovic = 144mins per goal

    So with more starts (potentially) and an almost certain increase in minutes is Alvarez a good early shout for a differential?

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I would want him to be reclassified as a mid, and for KDB to be ruled out for months not weeks if I were to even consider going there.

      Also Ake never played that position and he never will.

      1. TanN
        • 3 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Yes, I was thinking short term with KDB out for the start of the season having alvarez would be a fun punt based on fixtures in the opening 6 games - then if nkunku, darwin, watkins have hit a purple patch easy to switch

        What? Ake played CB a lot last season...

  22. TanN
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Estu at 5.0 is a steal right? (I know he was predicted as such but thought 5.5 would be his price)

    Something like - Stones Estu White Botman Bell would offer decent value but decent returns in defence?

    Could enable 5 pricier mids and haaland comfortably

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I'm wary of grabbing players just because they seem underpriced. I'm currently minded to go without him because I can make better fixture combos with other defenders.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        What combo's you looking at?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          Currently I'm on Stones, White, Shaw, Botman and a cheeky Bell. I can field a back 3 with easy fixtures nearly every GW.

          1. pablo discobar
            • 14 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Nice. Like it. Bell has decent h fixtures too when you might need him

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              He's got nice fixtures on the couple of occasions the big boys fight, and I might want to bench both.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      He wasn’t essential at 4.5

    The price reveals we have all been waiting for!

    Solanke 6.5m FWD
    Traore 5.0m MID
    Rothwell 5.0m MID
    Zabarnyi 4.5m DEF

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Botman ➡ Zabarnyi done. No brainer.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Luton, Nottingham, Fulham as first 3. I could see Solanke getting something!

  25. Q
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Who are we all waiting for for predicted prices that ‘could’ make your team?

    Def: Saliba/white, konate, porro, stones
    Mids: Saka, Martinelli, jota/gakpo, Maddison
    Fwds: Wilson, Kane, Jesus

    All could potentially make the cut, price dependant, for me

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      City and Arsenal players mainly, and Maddison.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yeah Stones for sure is interesting

      Martinelli v Maddison for my last mid spot

      Ferguson....

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      I'd like to see Saka and Wissa out of curiosity.

      But with so long to go until the start of the season, and with friendlies and signings incoming, I'm not getting overly attached to a draft. Waste of energy.

    4. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 3 Years

      Szoboszlai, Arsenal def

    5. Sure You Did
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Maddison, Mount, Schar, Szabo (new Liv mid), Ode

    6. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Casemiro and Kepa.....

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I'd expect Casemiro to wander forward far less with Mount and Bruno ahead of him.

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

          Fair point, but in game Casemiro can be pushed forward in desperation late in games, as what seemed to happen last year.

      Imagine if instead of just having an exclusive price reveal, you had an exclusive “special price”. One Million discount on a random player for GW One only.

      At least that would break up the template as everyone would have a different cheap player.

  28. I Member

    I'm thinking Estupinan + 0.5m in the bank is the play. Don't want to start with Chilwell/James but would like the ability to get to them in one move in GW3.

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Planned defensive transfers rarely work, there will be too many shiny new toys you will want in midfield. One of those mids will bang hard, and become short term “essential”. Best to go with a set and forget defence

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I'll take my chances.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Tbf ... Last season James and Chilwell rarely worked but they were still being discussed until gw35 time after time!

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

          Yeah Kepa was the fella to get from Chelsea as it turned out. I wonder what they will price him at?
          Is Kepa even Chelsea no1 now? I can't keep up!

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          5.5m is pretty decent value for Chilwell/James though

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            Correct price. But if they don't get attacking returns and keep on conceding, starting Luton def might be better idea.

          2. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            They have a lot of potential, but both ways. I can see them both being 5.3 quite fast if they don't deliver and someone like Estu/White hauls.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              11 months, 5 days ago

              Yeah, I'll be having Estu and a Arsenal defender too... Willing to take a bit of a risk on a Chelsea defender.

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Thinking about something similar. Even starting with Salah with gw2 captaincy in mind. He could be easy downgrade to a bandwagon if needed.

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Good thinking looking at the fixtures
          G/W 2 Haaland Newcastle away or
          Salah Bournemouth home

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

            With my luck could be Haaland brace and Salah blank if I choose that route 😉

  29. Float
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    4.5 (4.0)
    TAA / Estupinan / Botman (Bell / 4.0)
    Salah / Fernandes / Mitoma / Mbeumo / Gibbs-White
    Haaland / Nkunku (4.5)

    Gibbs-White flexible if there's another nice option at that price or 5.5 even, but I like the look of this.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Avoid Gibbs--White from the start
      Forest bottom of the fixture ticker for the first few weeks
      Brownhill @£5m a good option
      He's a player who has been improving over the last couple of seasons
      Now on set pieces

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        I remember him showing something long time ago. How old is he?

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

          He's 27
          Scored 7 in 41 Championship games last season from midfield
          I was hoping he would be 4.5 though

  30. Piggs Boson

      Was thinking this myself. Could see Odegaard having to play slightly deeper. Havertz doesn't have the defensive discipline of Xhaka.

      Is Havertz even going to be in starting XI? I thought him to be backup for Øde and squad player + for CL.

        Could be backup for both Jesus and Odegaard. Jesus can also play out wide.

        Something to watch for in pre-season.

        They reckon he’s going to be playing as a left 8 which is frankly hilarious.

          Why is it hilarious? Arteta literally called him a midfielder.

        The thinking is that he's going to replace Xhaka in the XI. Will get a better idea during preseason.

          Sounds to me like this is right ^

      There will be a lot more rotation at Arsenal this season. ESR back too. Havertz and Trossard in the mix, it is not going to be quite as cozy for FPL managers as last season was.
