Where’s salah ?

I like it.

Main risk is benching the wrong players and fielding some one pointers

If you hit the ground runking it's nice, but your structure with prices can give you a little bit of a puzzle, the players in themselves looks good, but some gamblings, so you could end up wanting five out after gw1..

Looks good, what’s your bench?

You need to check on McNeils injury

Only upgrade I'd make with the money is Salah

Ehat about if i go with

Martinelli Saka Rashford Bruno Foden ? Or its not balanced ?

Wissa + Martinelli or A

And plenty of us who ignored him are now going to be impacted by the actions of his followers.

A

1.5itb but no forward. How does that work?

One of the best Salah teams I have seen

A but not with Tarkowski. I'd go for either Botman, Henry or Colwill.

The format is - cheap players for everyone, so even those who don't watch football can pick squad of 15 names they know.

I’ve been wondering the very same. Lot of folk following the herd I think.

He's brought in by mist because of his output in the attacking area, combination of team, player, Chilwell probably the one that is closest in terms of that, but Chelsea more unknown that Brighton at this stage. I can see Estu being shipped once the fixture turn in gw 4.

Estupiñian is last seasons pick.

Marti. Foden = Pep roulette.

Martinelli will share bench duties with Trossard and Rice, no?

Who are your other bench options? Also, I have concerns over Foden's minutes.

How nailed on is Foden? That's the only issue for me.

FPL guru Gianni Buttice reckons he will have a big season this year.

That's right, one could get 60 minutes even if only coming on at HT.

That surely will impact clean sheet prospects of team who like to play for 1-0 scorelines. That makes likes of affordable 4.0/4.5s from say Everton, Burnley, Brentford, Wolves, West Ham, etc. much less appealing.

Similarly, attacking players who play complete games like Salah, Bruno, Son, Saka, Watkins, etc. much more interesting.

This is making me think twice about Bruno.

More minutes played gives 90 minutes man's players even mire time and if you have a rotation player, it gives you extra minutes if he's coming in, that's a plus for both types of scenarios. More minutes will probably affect CS, but got no accounts for ut, but you would assume 3-4 more minutes with effectively action will give consequences. More nervous Fpl players holding their beer (or other non alcoholic beverages) is a certain with injury time going above 100 minutes..

Not sure I fully agree on Bruno given he's captain now, I'm sure he will still get cards but given he'll be the one referees will want to speak to regarding issues/ fouls there might not be a big change for him

Agreed. I'm looking at my Bruno pick since watching the game last night for same reason. He is a double yellow waiting to happen if the refs all follow last night's example

Don't think anything is close

There is nothing new on this topic. Inter Milan and AC Milan were interested, but you know how it is with Italian clubs. They think they can get him pizza quattro formaggi and espresso.

West Ham are acting weird; they don't have a clear plan or targets and will probably waste that hard-earned money like Spurs did after Bale's sale. But if they are prepared to pay more than £40 million, Arsenal may let him go.

Not sure about Salah and Trent but it works. Like the Porro pick.

Bit of Italian gossip that Spurs have interest in a striker at Porto

No news yet, sure something will be leaked today.

Long time DOOSRA, European Champions eh...

Nakamba but don't expect any more than 2 pointers from him, I'm tempted to take a punt on Chukwuemeka.

I really don’t like either, but A because Alvarez isn’t nailed

Yup, from GW3 that's sound.

While Chilwell is a great pick even against Pool, I think Estu is close to must have especially for the first three. Starting with Luton who are not a great scoring team, I can see a 3-0 or 4-0 drubbing with Estu getting a CS and likely an assist.

Also, prefer Watkins to Jackson. Assured starter for 90 mins, on pens (though abysmal at those) and plays for an attacking unit. IMO game against Newcastle should have goals for both teams.

Not totally mental, no - although I'd go for Bruno instead of Son and upgrade Pedro.

Martinelli's minutes may suffer this season as he rotates with Trossard, so I'd go for Bruno instead if you can afford him.

Jackson to Wissa and Martinelli to Rashford is what I’ve done and then we’re very similar

Same. If it transpires he’s first choice and pretty nailed, great. But I fear most of their attackers will be rotated

Chilwell going better in pre-season than James, more fit
Rice..?
Other question marks correctly placed

A.

A. Would you consider Darwin?
