    How we looking?
    Pickford 4.0
    Chilwell James Gabriele Estu
    Rashford Foden Martinelli Saka 4.5
    Jackson Watkins Haaland

    Arsenal forward and City defender uncertainty confusing me a tad

    1. PScholes18

      Bit of a beching headache, but I like it.

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        True, James will likely sit out the 1st game

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Instead of Salah you made everything overpowered.

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Is that a bad thing? haha

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Not at all.

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 11 Years

        More options week to week. Better than hanging your hat on Salah every week.

      good balance.
      Not sold on Pickford personally
      James will bite you, Chilwell might be enough to start with

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Which 4.5 do you prefer? James is a nostalgic pic at this point to be honest, hoping he stay fit
        Thanks

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I like Colwill, Tarkowski, Bissaka, and Andersen.

        2. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I like Villa’s selection of 4.5ers, but it’s too early to select one, as none of them seems completely nailed, with Digne the only one unchallenged because of his rival’s injury.

            Thanks, food for thought, didnt realise Bissaka was so cheap

            1. Andy_Social
              • 12 Years
              1 year, 2 months ago

              Careful. I had him in early drafts when he excelled in the first friendlies. Then Dalot came in and did even better.

              1. JT11fc
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 2 months ago

                Ye does seem like too much rivalry..... I cant bring myself to sell James anyhow haha

    4. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      James could easily be Stones to avoid CHE def double up?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        That's illogical to my mind. If you think Chilwell and James can both haul and score better than other defenders, why would you choose a defender you expect to score less?

      2. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Good idea, seems to be the template, probably the sensible move to cover all the defences

  2. Moxon
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Chilwell or Stones?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chilwell

    2. Fatboy_Slim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chilwell over first few gameweek...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Chilwell has the ceiling, Stones has the floor.

  3. Fatboy_Slim
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Guys, please suggest:

    1) Shaw+ Foden+ Wissa (1st sub)
    Or
    2) Stones+Rashford+4.5 fodder on bench

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      2 safer, 1 more differential I think

      1. Fatboy_Slim
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Agree...2 is safer as no benching headache, but what I was thinking is option 1 saves me transfers for later as I can rotate wissa in etc, and Foden if he starts is explosive...either way I guess community shield will tell us

        1. JT11fc
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I do like Foden, Im just thinking if Rashford fires then it will hurt

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years

    What can I improve?

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Odegaard instead of Martinelli

  5. PScholes18
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Which is better?

    A: Salah, Anderson, Wissa
    B: Martinelli, Mbuemo, Darwin

    1. Fatboy_Slim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      B any day as with A you are depending on wissa to compensate for 2 players considering at least for 3 gameweeks I expect Martinelli to match Salah due to better fixtures...
      Also with B you could have Watkins as per my calculations instead of darwin

      1. PScholes18
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thanks. B is my current set up.
        Can get Watkins with cash to spare, but feel I need some Liverpool cover.

    First time since release my team has gone 2 days without changing! How's it looking?

    Onana
    James Stones Saliba Tarkowski
    Salah Saka Bruno Diaby
    Haaland Jackson

    Areola Lewis-Potter Kabore Mubawa

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Nice. I would rather the proven talents of Eze, Mbuemo or Mitoma to Diaby though.

      1. Sterling Effort
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Mbuemo was my pick, but the potential OoP draw of Diaby was too much - that's the one that may change though

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      The same as 2 days ago

      😉

      A little bit different with some free thought which is refreshing.

      Look below re: Stones tho.

      1. Sterling Effort
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 2 months ago

        If Stones is out I have no clue who I'd even want to replace him, can't have Shaw at that price personally & got Chelsea/Arsenal already - tricky one!

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          The thing is as good a position and role Stones offers, he'll likely play 3 out of 4 games across the season so you do need decent cover.

          1. Sterling Effort
            • 1 Year
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Yeah I'm tempted to just get Botman/Henry & upgrade Mubawa to J.Pedro

  7. BRFC
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Don’t worry about Stones he was injured in training yesterday won’t play on Sunday according to City forum

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      That would be true to form.

      A few injuries is just going to reinforce the template.

      I guess that's not a bad thing because it's likely to lag many of the other team variations and could cause some collective jitters in the first few months.

  8. TochanMama

    RMT please

    Onana • Areola

    TAA • Gabriel • Estupinan • Akanji • (Baldock)

    Saka • Odegaard • Foden • Mitoma • Mbuemo

    Haaland • Watkins • (Mubama)

    Will play a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 considering the pep roulette.
    Might have a serious headache if Akanji and Foden both end up on the bench.
    Kinda confused as to whom to bench. Could start with Akanji or he is just a safer option on the bench?
    What do you guys think?

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      You'll have that dilemma every week with Akanji and Foden

      1. TochanMama
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        True, what are the chances that both don't play?

        1. teddy.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Even that is hard to quantify.

          You could get a decent 4.5 instead of Akanji and Bruno and Martinelli instead of Odegaard and Foden.

          1. TochanMama

            Makes sense, thanks

    why everyone pick GK johnstone over steel?

    is brighton not the better team with the better starting fixtures?

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Some uncertainty about Steele vs Verbruggen and Brighton will have Europa distractions soon.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd rather be on the Brighton keeper if we knew which one.

      Palace fixtures look tricky to me defensively so I'm looking elsewhere.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You can probably take a risk on Steele but the manager isn't afraid to shake his starting keeper up and presumably you'll be playing him across the fixtures until he's dropped?

  12. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Is this too risky?

    Flekken
    Chilwell, Estupinan, Gabriel
    Saka, Martinelli, Foden, Salah
    Joao Pedro, Haaland, Nkunku

    Bench is Bell, Beyer and Nakamba

    I like this but Pedro, Martinelli and Foden all potential rotation risks and the bench is not good.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Isn't there fitness concerns for Nkunku and other worries about Flekken finding his feet?

      1. jacob1989

    Watkins missing yet ANOTHER penalty. Don't think I could take the pain.
    Coutinho was good when he came on by all accounts, to add another small wrinkle to the Villa selections.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 12 Years

      I didn't think Coutinho was that good. The surprise package was the one we don't mention ... ever (..... Digne)

    Any changes to make here?

    Flekken (Areola)

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      But he can't catch a ball or stand in the middle of the goal.

      Flaky Flekken might not match Raya.

      And Raya is yet to be sold.

    D. Jota

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Probably Gakpo and Diaz.

      Jota could be the best one tho!

  16. Waddlinho

    Pickford
    Estupiñan, Gabriel, Saliba
    Salah, Rashford, Saka, Foden, Mitoma
    Haaland, Wissa

    (Virginia, Baldock, Bell, Woodrow)

    Still wondering is Salah really worth it. There are still loads of good mids (Eze, Mbuemo, Bowen, Bruno, Ødegaard...) and changing Salah to one of them would give me 4M-6M to make team better.

    So what would you do?

    A) Salah, Bell & Wissa -> Bruno, Chilwell & Watkins (with 0,5 ITB)
    B) Keep it as it is.

  17. Atters
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Fellow Salah owners, do you currently plan to captain him in GW2?

    The worry to bet against Haaland so early on is making me wonder if I should just avoid Salah to avoid the headache...

    1. Waddlinho
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      That's the reason to own him, isn't it?

      But then again you just made me think about it from a new angle. So far I've been thinking I could be massively left behind if I DON'T own and captain Salah in GW2.

      Salah's ownership is 23,9%, Haaland's is 86,7% - and most of those will captain him in GW2. So yeah, there is a real danger in owning and captaining Salah - and still be left way behind because of it.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      My plan is to captain Salah, stick some money on Haaland scoring a brace, then weep as both of them blank.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Just captain Salah when he's home and Haaland is away against better teams.

      Or just captain Haaland and take the Salah points.

    4. Psakhotherapy
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I’m planning on captaining Salah for gw2, and any time Haaland is away against top half opponents. If Salah doesn’t look like getting hauls in the new system, can always swap him out to cheaper alt after the first few gws

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Haaland is an easy captain pick until gw8, 9 and 10.

    They coincide with good games for Salah. Especially gw9 and 10 home to Everton and Forest.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Are you saying Haaland is just a flat-track bully?

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Arsenal, Brighton and ManU.

      In 6 games against them last season, he got 7 goals and 5 assists.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Unless I've done my maths wrong, Haaland outscored Salah by a point last season in the same fixtures. Not saying the same will happen again this season, just worth bearing in mind.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Yeah...

        Haaland can score twice with 5 touches of the ball all game.

        His blanks are impossible to predict so perma captain then

        😉

        1. x.jim.x
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Being on penalties helps - City got 10 last season.

      Bold! I’d say your midfield is too punty though with two possible risks and no United could punish you.

    So James is injury prone , but Chilwell....hmm.
    It happens all the time ,year after year. He could be a great option . He will never be a great option. I am a fan of him, cheering for him. But he is a big NO.
