    Anyone knows if Baldock is actually nailed?

      10 months, 18 days ago

      No-one is nailed in the off season.

      I was under the impression he was first choice, but I may be wrong and have no inside insight.

      Hope so. I plan on starting him GWs 1 and 2.

    What 4.5m defender to start with?

    A. Henry
    B. Pau
    C. Udogie
    D. Colwill (if he looks like being nailed)

    Thanks

      Depends whether they'll be rotated in and if so when.

      Out of those 4 I prefer Pau.

      Pau

      People say Pau because he's shiny and new. Noone knows if he'll start from the off, or if like Carlos he won't.
      Ol' faithfull Henry might be better to start with.

    Pretty settled on this at mo:

    Onana / Kelleher (transfer?)

    Trippier / Estu / Gabriel / (bayer / bell)

    Rash / Fernandes / Saka / Mbeuembo / (baptiste)

    Halland / Jesus / Nkunku

    Opinions?

    1. Mini League Fatigue
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Power front line - I like it

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Good squad. I like Nkunku & Trippier in there.

  4. Mini League Fatigue
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Can I get some thoughts please?

    Pickford (/Flekken pre season dependent)
    Gabriel Estu Baldock
    Saka Salah Bruno Mitoma
    Haaland Wissa Jesus

    Areola Elanga Pau Beyer

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Yeah, looks good.

      Personally I'd prefer it with Rashford instead of Salah and a beefed up defence and bench.

  5. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    How about this one?

    Onana (Areola)
    TAA, Gabriel, Pinnock, Botman (Beyer)
    Salah, Rashford, Martinelli, Eze, MacAllister
    Haaland (4.5, 4.5)

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      I'd be worried about Areola's price drops when he doesn't start, Martinelli on reduced minutes and having Beyer as your only back-up if someone gets injured or benched.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years

        All good points. Many thanks!

        Can’t see people wasting a transfer on the reserve keeper

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          This

          Masses do heaps of stupid/wasteful transfers. They are suddenly going to be sensible about this one?

      3. tricpic
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Not sure people would sell unless there’s an alternative playing 4m keeper.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Looks solid.

      Gw1 selection bound to involve some compromises by definition.

      Martenelli should be great again.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years

        Much appreciated, mate!

    Almost seems like we’ve too much budget this year!

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

      Part of the reason I am thinking about a stronger bench and rotating where needs be, Then I have more chance of landing on a bargain as well and able to move funds from ones that did not work,

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Same, basically got a 6mil striker and 4.5 defender as support for the main team

        4.5
        5.5 5 5 (4.5 4)
        9 8.5 8.5 7.5 6.5
        14 7.5 (6)

        Could even switch ode and Diaz/Nkunku to Jesus and sterling and save a mil

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Totally agree, gone are the days of rotating two budget defenders along with a midfield punt

  7. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Any thoughts please??

    Onana
    TAA - Gabriel - Estupinan
    Bruno - Mbeumo - Mitoma - Saka
    Haaland - Jesus - Watkins

    sub: Olsen - Henry - Nakamba - Bell

    Can be Rash and Baldock for Bruno/Henry instead...

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Would I pick Watkins over foden + .5

    Damn, I'm quietly sitting on a nice 4% differential in Akanji and Sky report Bayern are coming for Walker. Get off my bandwagon!!!

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Happens every year. You think you have a great diff and then something like his happens, or they score back to back hat tricks in preseason.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        And I try so hard to be non-template. Currently 4 of my defenders are under 7% owned. Leave me some already!

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Still won't be nailed even if Walker leaves.

  10. HarryFPL
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Trent or Salah and WHY???

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Salah, because you have to change your name.

      1. HarryFPL
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 18 days ago

        True

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          Trent cos he's cheaper
          Salah cos he's better

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      neither, wait and see for me, budget eaters

  11. HarryFPL
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Onana | Areola
    TAA Gabriel Estupinian 4.5 | 4.5 (to rotate)
    Salah Saka Foden Mitoma | Nakamba
    Haaland Wissa | 4.5
    Is this any good? Do I need to sacrifice Salah/Trent? Which 4.5 defs do you recommend?

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Pau and Botman can rotate

  12. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    MacAllister, Andreas or Enciso?

    1. Eat my goal!

      Minutes, fixtures, minutes

      Nah

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Can't have them all mate, we all need our enablers

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          I guess if Andreas get pens he could be a decent pick.

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 18 days ago

          The cost of picking salah

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 18 days ago

            Exactly! Salah + TAA in my case! Cheers.

              Ouch - is it worth it?

              1. sirmorbach
                • 7 Years
                10 months, 18 days ago

                Two weaknesses: the 5th mid, and the fact I have only one playing sub. Huge sacrifice, but I think I'll take it!

                1. Eat my goal!

                  • 5 Years
                  10 months, 18 days ago

                  Who scores more?

                  Rash + ode + .5

                  Or

                  Salah + Andreas

    3. thattreblefeeling
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Andreas pick of that bunch

  13. Onana Whatsmyname
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Genuine questions based on templates I am seeing:

    Why is everyone loading up on Brighton when they have average mid term fixtures, loads of options that rotate in forward areas and may have lost both their centre mids who were vital?

    Equally why are so many doubling on the Man United mids when they are great defensively but relative low scoring going forwards?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Brighton have 3 great fixtures

      Rashford scores well when fresh, utd fixtures are reasonable to good

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        And Brighton tend to do very well in so-called difficult fixtures.

        1. Onana Whatsmyname
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          They did with M&C in midfield but I am not so confident on them at all this year.

          1. Onana Whatsmyname
            • 14 Years
            10 months, 18 days ago

            Other thing on my mind is that soon Europe kicks in too (See West Ham last year)

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Rashford and Bruno were both in the top ten point scorers last season.

      1. Onana Whatsmyname
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        True! But United scored 30 less goals than Arsenal

        1. Boxwoods
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          I currently have 2 mids from each team.

        2. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          *fewer. 😉

          This game is about individual points, not team goals total

    3. JohannaAdams10
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Agree can’t see Brighton as good as last year without best 2 players.

      Man Utd might be slightly better goal wise with Mount and if they sign a decent striker.

    4. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      I have Estu and that's it

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Agree with you re: Brighton. The fixtures turn quite quickly, they have a plethora of attacking options, and as good as De Zerbi is Mac Allister and Caicedo are massive losses.

      I'm expecting United to be better going forward with the additions of Mount, Onana and a new striker. Might sound strange to include Onana there but he's good playing out of the back so that could improve their build up.

    6. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Enciso & Bruno enough for me

  14. mataave
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Early draft, thoughts?

    Ramsdale
    Stones - TAA - Estupinan - Botman
    Rashford - Saka - Mitoma - Jota/Diaz
    Haaland - Jesus

    4.0 - Cunha - Baptiste - Bell

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Pretty template. Expecting much from Jesus?

      1. mataave
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        No idea, haven’t been following pre-season or FFS. Not many great forward options compared to midfielders

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          I know. Just suprised to see him in almost every team on here. I think Saka/Martinelli/Ode are much better picks

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            10 months, 18 days ago

            Agree, although he was pretty good last yr from the start from recollection

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              10 months, 18 days ago

              5 goals 3 assists first 8 gws

              1. Royal5
                • 12 Years
                10 months, 18 days ago

                Later he went double digits without a return i remember

                1. Royal5
                  • 12 Years
                  10 months, 18 days ago

                  Very wasteful

                  • 5 Years
                  10 months, 18 days ago

                  I’m on Saka and ode

                  I even expect havertz to outscore him

                  1. Royal5
                    • 12 Years
                    10 months, 18 days ago

                    Saka and Martinelli here atm. Martinelli killed me after selling him at the end of last season.

                    1. Silecro
                      • 6 Years
                      10 months, 18 days ago

                      Martinelli will be probably subbed early every game, if not benched some, Trossard wont be benched for every game of the season

                      1. Royal5
                        • 12 Years
                        10 months, 18 days ago

                        They fooled me once. Never again.

                  1. AC/DC AFC
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    10 months, 18 days ago

                    I suspect Saka is Mr consistency for goals and assists.

                    Ødegaard for hauls.

                    Jesus for a streak.

                    Martenelli all season.

                    Trossard sometimes.

                    Defenders and keeper too for Arsenal points.

                    As with much of life, FPL is the art of timing!

                    1. Amartey Partey
                      • 4 Years
                      10 months, 18 days ago

                      Odegaard might be more defensive this season though with Havertz playing.

                      1. Alan Watts
                        • 5 Years
                        10 months, 18 days ago

                        Wasnt Xhaka getting forward a lot last season as well ?

    2. NotNowKato
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      There's a reason that Pep sold Jesus to Arsenal.

      Man can't score, so sell him to your rivals to get extra points when Jesus doesn't score.

      It's not rocket science. It's Pep science.

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Having a good preseason though, lovely chipped goal, full of confidence, hat trick GW 1 then blanks for next 10 games

  15. shirtless

    Hmm I think Onana makes Shaw too expensive now. Time for my first tweak!

    Onana and Ake looks a better bet to me...?

    4.5
    Shaw Gabriel Porro
    Rashford Son Bruno Odegaard Saka
    Haaland Wissa

      Nah, city need to show CS form imo

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        I agree

        Man Utd tend to be better for clean sheets than Man City who often concede 1.

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Pretty sure they conceded the least goals of anyone

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Agree

    3. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Might go Onana and Estupinan. Keep an eye on Porro.

      Second Chilwell is Pedro Porro

  17. R.C
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Who will be Villa's left back with Moreno out for first few gameweeks?

  18. JohannaAdams10
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    A or B?

    A) Fernandes and Akanji
    B) TAA and Enciso

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      A if Akanji is nailed

      1. thattreblefeeling
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Akanji is definitely nailed

    What do you like and what don’t you like about this team?

    I have 1.0mITB to play Klopp roulette.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Saliba Estupinan
    Rashford Saka Diaz Mbeumo
    Haaland Gakpo Wissa

    Areola Pau Nakamba Gusto

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Too many question marks here. Double Brentford and Pool. I had Gakpo last season. Never got a return and he played every second game.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Double Brentford attack is brave.

  20. Stamford B
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Was DDG 5.0 last season?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Yup

  21. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Who are you looking forward to seeing this season?

    Nkunku is so skillful I'm excited to see him play

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Might get a move to a big club next season if he does well.

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      James Milner at Brighton

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Is that a possibility? Really like him as a skillful grafter. Great work ethic.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Mount. Want to see how attacking or not he is.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      David Brooks

    5. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      McNeil. Just hope he doesn’t blow my diff in preseason

    6. Sure You Did
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Rice, world class. Him and Havertz together will dominate games for decades to come.

    Updated draft- had to drop Mitoma to Enciso. Other option is to drop Chilwell to Henry/Pau but quite like having Chilwell ready to come in week 2 or 3. Can switch between 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 depending on fixtures. Any comments on draft welcome?

    Onana
    TAA Gabriel Estupinan
    Saka Rashford Foden Mbeumo Enciso
    Haaland Jesus

    Areola Chilwell Baldock Archer

  23. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Onana
    Trent / Gabriel / Porro / Estu
    Rash / Saka / BrunoF / Marti / Mitoma
    Haaland

    Areola / Henry / 4.5s

  24. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Is it crazy to go without Martinelli? Wouldn’t surprise me if he hauls in GW1 and everyone scrambles to bring him in.

  25. Drexl Spivey
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    Is anyone on more than two of Liverpool and Chelsea in their current draft going into GW1 (as in collectively)?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Just Jota for me

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        I’ll get Jota for GW2 if he starts GW1.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        If I even get a whiff he's nailed he's coming straight in.

      3. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Ramsdale 4.0
        Tarkowski Estupinan Shaw (Udogie 4.0)
        Jota Son Foden McNeil Saka
        Haaland Jesus 4.5/5m

        2m itb for upgrades

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 18 days ago

          I've seeing quite a few Trentless drafts I quite like, this one included. Gone Onana & Gabriel myself, for the extra pocket money.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            10 months, 18 days ago

            Shaw is bap monster and gets attacking points too. If he doesn’t get a cs, neither does Onana. I think Onana will prove to be overrated.

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      I’m on four: Trent, Chilwell, Gakpo and Sterling

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      I have TAA, Chilwell, & Sterling atm, but I doubt it'll stay that way. Chelsea don't have a midfield, and if they buy one it might take some time to gel.

      I can see Foden & Akanji pushing their way into my team over Chilwell & Sterling. Depends on transfers and pre-season.

    4. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Just Trent and Gakpo here.

  26. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    is it madness to go front 8 with Foden & Alvarez
    the rest are Bruno Saka Mitoma Jesus Haaland, and Mbeumo 1st Sub

    im hoping for both to play, if not 1 play and 1 did not get sub in

  27. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    a) Martinelli, Foden, Gakpo
    b) Mitoma, Jota, Jesus

  28. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    How’s it looking beyond the bare bones bench?

    Onana, Areola
    TAA, Cash, Henry, Baldock, Beyer
    Rashford, Saka, Foden, Havertz, Baptiste
    Haaland, Gakpo, Nkunku

    1. TBL
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      looks good if Gakpo nailed, otherwise I would upgrade Baptiste

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 18 days ago

        Thanks man

  29. TBL
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    A) Odegaard + Leno
    B) Martineli + Onana

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      That's a B from me

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      B

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      Very difficult. I think B but monitor whether Martinelli minutes seem secure. If they aren’t you can always pivot to Maddison by gw3

  30. sandman58
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 18 days ago

    A) Foden & Jesus
    B) Martinelli & Nkunku
    Which one is better please?

    1. TBL
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      close... B maybe

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 18 days ago

      A
