    Rashford and Encisio or Mount and Foden?

      Can't really answer that yet - keep an eye on Brighton's pre-season to see if Enciso looks like he'll start.

      If it looks like he'll be their main no.10, I'd go A.

    2. Bobby Digital

      Former

    3. DCSpurs

      10 months, 12 days ago

      Enciso is a huge rotation risk. Foden less so given then current lack of depth for City.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Rashford looks the strongest of those for various reasons so that combo.

      Any of the others could fly too.

  2. Jonesfromthere

    I think he should have been 5.5 personally. Will be in most teams at this price

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      People with Pickford will be scrambling

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Pickford will outscore Onana over the opening 8 GWs.

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

          He won't all the same

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          This could be your Achilles heal.

    2. CONNERS

      10 months, 12 days ago

      I don't think a player with an unproven PL record should be given the same price tag as Alisson (for example) who despite Liverpool having a poor season, managed 162 points.

      5.0m seems right to me.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Be honest, you WANTED him to be 5.0m. I did too - I wouldn't bring him in at 5.5m

        But, if every man and his dog immediately adds a player to his draft - Haaland, Saka, Onana, then he's underpriced.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      He'll be in loads of drafts now and then when another new shiny toy joins the league he'll make way for a 4.5m keeper again to fit in that other player

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Just seen today & working out to keep with Pickford or switch getting the bonus clean sheets from United defence

  3. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Just downgraded Botman to move Pickers to Onana. 2x 4.0s on the bench will have to do

  4. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Couple of questions:

    (1) Should Udogie be nailed for Spurs?
    (2) Matty Cash, Pau Torres, Pinnock or Henry?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      1) He's in the FFS Predicted Lineup

      2) Pau

  5. mitre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    RMT

    Onana
    Stones Gabriel Estu
    Salah Bruno Saka Mitoma Mbeumo
    Haaland Ferguson

    Areola Botman Bell Archer

    1. Fatboy_Slim
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Keep an eye out for Brighton preseason to be sure of Ferguson's minutes...else rest looks good...maybe look at stones for a more attacking replacement if there was anything else...

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Ferguson will share minutes with so many attacking options in Brighton team and if doesn’t work out you will need hits to sort team out. I don’t think Salah worth starting with given fixtures and would drop to Martinelli and use funds to improve team

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 12 days ago

      what about Jesus at Arsenal upfront?

  6. Fatboy_Slim
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    The right back situation at Manchester united is getting me all confused for gameweek 1...ideally I would start with shaw, but don't have the 0.5 I need and am really happy with the rest of the team...so what do y'all reckon, Dalot or Wan Bissaka? Or should I just go safe with Lisandro/varane and hope for a clean sheet?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      I may just go with Onana and be done with it.

      1. Fatboy_Slim
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Already have onana buddy..I wanted to bench TAA first game as I am not sure about a Chelsea away fixture, but save myself from a transfer for 2 gameweeks to target the Chelsea and Spurs fixture swings...any suggestions?

        onana
        Estupinan, Gabriel, (Dalot/Lisandro/varane)
        Bruno F, Mitoma, Saka, Foden, Mbeumo
        Haaland, Jesus

        Subs: areola, Trent, Baldock, 4.5 fwd

        1. KieranKA
          • 2 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          You're best off just playing Trent. Chelsea won't score that many

    2. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Utd fan here, preseason not giving anyway anything atm. I feel Dalot would be first choice, but i wouldn't go for anyone other than Shaw & Onana at this stage

      1. The Mantis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        away anything*

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Going off last season's trend, could well be Dalot v WOL & NFO, with AWB v Spurs & Arsenal to counter the pace of Son/Martinelli

      1. Fatboy_Slim
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        I was thinking the same thing...just don't know whether to risk it...

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          I would probably take a chance on Dalot since you have 4 strong defenders for a back 3. I think he only cameoed off the bench twice last season so the odd rotation shouldn't hurt you

  7. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Onana, now we all have the same team!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      If it wasn't for blank GW2 I might've punted on Trafford at Burnley.

  8. KieranKA
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Current draft:

    Steele // Aréola
    Shaw Gabriel Estupiñán Botman // Baldock
    Salah Rashford Saka Mitoma // Nakamba
    Haaland Jesus // Archer

    My thinking right now is to bet everything on the starting XI with a good number of high-ceiling players, with cheap bench options who have a good chance of playing (albeit for 1-3 points). I don't trust the Liverpool defence so I've picked Rashford, Jesus and Saka over Trent.

    Thoughts on the 4.5 defender?
    A: start with Botman, bring Colwill in GW2
    B: start with Botman, bring Henry in GW2
    C: start with Colwill
    D: start with Henry
    E: it's too risky to start a 4.5 defender

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      D. Spurs will probably score GW1 but I wouldn't use an FT just for that one game

  9. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    If you had to select one who do you think the best 6.0 FWD is?

    DCL, Wissa, Ferguson, Ings

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Wissa by some distance

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      DCL if he can stay fit (big if). Wissa most nailed provided Brentford don’t sign striker.

    3. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Wissa, probably. DCL isn't fit, Ferguson isn't nailed, Ings might leave

    4. Jo Melon
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      I prefer to spend that amount on Mid.

  10. Merlin the Wraith
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Onana looks a bargain at 5.0, was really surprised. With 1.0itb I'm going to upgrade Pickford to him & replace Shaw after GW1. Think it's a reasonable risk to keep double Utd defence v Wolves before getting Chilwell in after his Pool game? still leaves 0.5itb.

    1. Merlin the Wraith
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Shame about Trafford coming in at 4.5 but suppose to be expected.

  11. Fatboy_Slim
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Best 5.0 or below defender for Gameweek1 only besides Brighton and Arsenal assets?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      1 week only - Ake.

    2. JohannaAdams10

      B for me even if they were the same price

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      If you have Rash, B.

    Who is the one player you’re keen to have in your team but are waiting on pre-season to feel confident selecting? In terms of becoming nailed, rather than on form.

    I’ll start.

    Enciso.

    1. Mirror Man
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Fred

        Enciso/Ferguson

      • Jo Melon
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Same on Enciso. And the lot from Liverpool.

        Enciso and Alvarez

        1. Merlin the Wraith

          Onana & Alvarez

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years

      B Maddison and Ferguson

      1. Jo Melon
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        A for me.

    3. Jo Melon
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      I’m leaning to have a 4.5m fwd as bench fodder because no one interesting below 6m. Instead I’m looking for good 4th and 5th mid.
      A. Mitoma and Reed.
      B. Enciso and McNeil.
      Thoughts?

      1. 15th Time Lucky
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        If you're going that cheap for your last choices, I'd either free up some money elsewhere or change to 442. Easier to get scoring defenders for 4.5.

        1. Jo Melon
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Could be. I have Trippier Saliba Mings 4.0 4.0.
          Any 4.5 in mind?

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Double Ars defense or attack?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        attack

      2. Jo Melon
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        I have Jesus and one of their Mids.

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Attack

      4. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years

        Attack

    5. R.C
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Are Saudi's trying to poach Marco Silva?

      I did hear he was not pleased with Fulham's transfer activity...

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        They're trying to get both Mitro and Silva in one swoop

      2. Mirror Man
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Seemed to get very needy right around the time a giant sack of cash was thrown at him.

        If Raya stays at Brentford and if, as reported, Flekken has been promised the No 1 position irrespective of whether Raya stays do you think Brentford will break that promise and start Raya.l?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Raya isn't going to stay there to warm the bench.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Sadly, promises don't mean that much in the business world. Unless it was written in a contract somewhere

        3. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          "As reported" 🙂 As far as I know the source is Flekken himself, running his mouth to a local newspaper where he comes from in the Netherlands.
          Cannot imagine Brentford are too impressed with that behaviour, but also this is a mess of their own making.
          I imagine every player is told during contract negotiations that they are in the first team. That's how they get them to sign on the dotted line. So I don't know if this "promise" carries any weight.

          It's a wait and see, but if no Raya movement/Frank clarification, I'm not touching either of them in fantasy games.

        4. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          They'll sell him if the intention is to bench him.

          The Flekken purchase does undermine their negotiating position somewhat tho.

          £25-30m rather than £35-40m perhaps?

      5. fantasyfog
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Is having Alvarez as a 2nd striker foolish? Am thinking I'll only need Haaland up top and if he doesn't play, Alvarez will

        1. Muller Reus Corner
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Depends on KDB injury. Maybe consider Ferguson from Brighton at a similar price?

        2. WHUFCSmith23
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Shhh Keep him under the radar. People are sleeping on him because they are obsessed with midfielders.

      6. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Any thoughts on my latest draft welcome - thanks!

        Onana, Areola
        TAA, Stones, Estupinan, Gabriel, Baldock
        Rashford, Saka, Fernandes, Mitoma, Nakamba
        Haaland, Jesus, Archer

        1. Mirror Man
            10 months, 12 days ago

            Fun team with lots of differentials. Good job.

            1. LangerznMash
              • 7 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              The only differential here is Stones, rest are template.

        2. sirmorbach
          • 7 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Udogie + Pinnock rotation or Estu + two 4.0 defenders on bench?

          1. Muller Reus Corner
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            Depends if Udogie is nailed. Leaning Estu + 2×4.0s

            1. sirmorbach
              • 7 Years

            What an earth is all this talk of Spurs defender's?

            1. Klopp's Kids
              • 10 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              Don't see them keeping many CSs with Tanganga at the back

            2. sirmorbach
              • 7 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              Could also be a Villa def.

          Where is Ian Maatsen ?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            Half the Chelsea team is missing. Casadei had a good game too and he's missing as well...

            1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 3 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              Casadei I can get given his age and since he was on loan with us last year (and now are in L1), Maatsen is weird though as I would have expected it was expected he'd go back to Burnley or on loan elsewhere in the league

          2. LangerznMash

          Over the long-term:

          A) Leno, Flekken rotation
          B) Onana
          C) Flekken, Areola + 0.5M

            B for me. C depending on what use you could have for the 0.5. A is a no-no for me.

          Thoughts on this draft?

          Onana
          Stones Gabriel Estupinan (Chilwell Udogie)
          Saka Rashford Foden Mbeumo Mitoma
          Haaland Jesus (4.5)

          Will be set and forget for the first 2 gws then will bring in Chilwell from gw3 onwards.

          Also have 1.0itb which could turn Foden into Martinelli/Bruno before the season start or can hold to upgrade Mitoma to another player in gw3.

            Template bar TAA. Good though...

              Did have Trent in all my previous drafts but took him out for Chilwell. Feel Liverpool could start off a bit slow this season defensively with Chelsea and Newcastle away in their first 3 as well as undergoing a complete midfield overhaul

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 6 Years

                Yeah you have a bit of cash on the bench, but I see the idea.

            I am keen on Stones but see absolutely no reason to start with Chilwell or Udogie

          Question ………

          Gabriel (5) + enciso (5.5)

          Or

          Estupinan (5) + Rice (5.5)!

          Have saka and jesus

          1. House Frey Wedding Planner
            • 5 Years

            Gabriel and Enciso for me. Don't think Rice is a great FPL asset. Was on pens for West Ham but he won't have that luxury at Arsenal.

            1. PB-THE-VET
              • 13 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              Could he be best value points / £ at 5.5 tho

                10 months, 12 days ago

                Personally feel Enciso offers the best value at 5.5 - know there's that potential minutes risk but pre season games should be a good indicator. Enciso was fire towards the end of last season

            Rice? Come on!

          I can't spend my money, still got 3.5m ITB.

          Onana
          Gabriel Estupinan Tarkowski
          Rashford Saka Foden Mbeumo Mitoma
          Haaland Jesus
          Areola Pinnock Baldock 4.5

          1. Bobby Digital

            You change your team every day, so what's the point?

            You said earlier you had 4m in the bank, so you could hokey-cokey between Rashford and Salah...

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              There's no point to any of this mate so just try to enjoy.

              3.5 is still enough to do that but I've now got Pinnock on the bench as Brentford's defense is so good and those next three fixtures are awesome.

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            I have the same team bar Tarkowski mind...

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              TAA over Tark?

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 6 Years
                10 months, 12 days ago

                Yeah 😛

            Not bad at all.

            That 3,5M gives you a chance to pick your Liverpool player for GW2. You can transfer Tarkowski->TAA, Rash->Salah or 4,5 forward -> Gakpo.

              Exactly my thinking

                Could work nicely!

          On that Onana pricing I did some surgery on my team, could not resist saving .5 on Shaw.
          So dumped Pickford/Virgina combo along with Shaw and spread the Cash.

          Onana (Areola)
          --
          Zinchenko - Estupinan - Tarkowski (Chilwell - Gusto)
          --
          Fernandes - Rashford - Odegaard- Saka-Eze
          --
          Haaland - Ferguson - (Wisa)

          0 itb - looks a bit better to what I previously had as it was a 4.5m striker with 1.0 itb
          Willing to accept Ferguson won't start all games - but the rest is practically a set and forget team

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            I think Wissa on bench is a bit too much,. I'd downgrade do a 4.5er and upgrade Ferguson himself to a 7.5

              Thanks for the input. I did think of that. But the 7.5m forward I want - is Mitrovic. He is likely Middle Eastern bound. From the sound of things Fulham could be a team to target this season if their team is asset stripped of players and manager.

              Then it only leaves the Chelsea attackers which are unknowns fpl wise, no idea how they will settle - although I did see a clip of Nkuku with a tidy finish already in preseason. But If Nkuku keeps that form up preseason might be too dangerous to leave out.

          Salah (C) GW2.

          Onana
          Gabriel - Estupiñán - Henry
          Salah - Rashford - Saka - Mbeumo - McNeil
          Jesus - Haaland

          Areola - Baldock - Bell - Mubama

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years

            So close to the perfect team, bloody McNeil

          2. WVA
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            He went a whole season without scoring lol

            1. Klopp's Kids
              • 10 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              true! I guess I like how he gets a return every two games with Dyche manager and is a younger player always improving.

              5.5M slot a trap! But Pereira rotates too

          3. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            Not too sure about McNeil, think I'd prefer Andreas or the Enciso punt, but they aren't ideal as well — and hey, can't have them all. Hell, even McNeil could work.

            I like the team.

          4. Klopp's Kids
            • 10 Years

            Trent Draft. McNeil/Pau rotation.

            Onana
            Gabriel - Estupiñán - Trent
            Rashford - Fernandes - Saka - Mbeumo - McNeil
            Jesus - Haaland

            Areola - Pau - Baldock - Mubama

            My actual draft rn. I'm rotating my defenders & getting rid of Estupiñán for GW4.
