That'd be the same points per match as last season (assuming he starts every game), which would probably be slightly more impressive given the bonus changes. I still think I'd start cheaper though, trust myself to make up the points difference elsewhere and then pick him up later in the season maybe

Pickford (£5.0) had 153 last season, so I would say no

Unless you wildcard extremely late it is doubtful you will will keep the same keeper all season.

As another poster has said the keepers have been priced cleverly this year (as is the overall pricing).

I struggled to pick two or even one I liked - normally would pick a 4.5//4.0 or 4.5/4.5

But this year I decided to pick 5/5 = Martinez/Pope just for 6 gameweeks then I will likely wildcard. They rotate nice for this period.

Then after that I will get the cheaper "bargains" who emerge for the rest of the season.

I did look at a Raya option alone, but those early fixtures look mixed.

The other way of doing is just get two keepers from the promoted sides stick with them for save points.
The most saves from the cheapest starting keeper last season was Areola.

Maybe not the answer you were looking for but, if Raya got 160 points that means Arsenal kept at least 15 clean sheets, making the defence even more valuable. So no, then I would've gone with White+Gabriel.

This is dead on.

Personally I would get Garnacho/Johnson instead of Rashford and then get Porro for Burn.

I like the Kudus pick I have not seen him in any other drafts.

2 for me ; Slob is a tbd

Nice and come week 3 (if you need to, tis my strategy at least) get shot of Saka/Son +Nkunku for Palmer and a cheaper milf.

Good team

OOft lovely. One of the nicest I seen on here.

I am currently trying to decide on this very issue myself.

I think I’m going to go with Munoz. Spurs are just too leaky for me.

Porro. Partly because I expect him to smash it this season and be up there with the other premiums next year. And mostly because he's just exciting to own

I have got both for now

There is only one.

if this ever comes back online then it's brilliant for planning longterm rotation pairs.

A

Andersen is your man if you dont want to go with Munoz-Porro duo

For a GW1 bench boost team?

B

If BB you need nailed on starters

Nice
No

considering how they are performing in pre-season, doubt they would risk starting without Watkins

Nice team

Think Watkins mins will be fine.

Really like that, no Gvardiol could hurt….

No

Think he is past his best and will be rotated regularly sadly.

It's not a bad idea for the first few games.

yes

Certainly needs to be in there for the first 4 games in my view.

I wouldn't call 3% huge increase.

All the inept will gravitate towards the same team when we get to GW1 regardless of what is happening now - happens every year

Fixtures are good enough to roll with him till WC without any pairing.

Yep think I'm going with him. Agree with Holmes, just playing every week. Probably pairing with Alex Paulsen as an speculative bet for a 4m starter (probably not but seems like the BOU GK situation was a little unsettled)

Agree. Only problem is uses third NEW spot so blocks Livra if he becomes nailed.

Would pick him over Aina personally due to clean sheets.

debating similar, it's between Robinson and Myko, I feel Robinson is more attacking?

Nah

*Gvardiol

Lots of viable options

I think from week 3 there is a viable wildcard team without Salah and Haaland - just need to wait for the Euro players who are good longterm picks to be back

Gvardiol, Gabriel, Maatsen, Barco, Faes

Salah/Haaland team

TAA, Castagne, Porro, Livramento, Barco.
Livra could be any 4.5 or become Gvardiol but not a fan of City fixtures regarding CS.

En garde!

TAA, Mykolenko, Hall, Andersen, Barco

Davis / ? / ? / ? / Barco 😀

Milenkovic, Burn, Barco (Konsa, Robinson)

Kulu.

Have more trust in Everton's defense, so Mykolenko imo.

I'm a little confused by the example - equal number of attacking returns last season, but I guess being a CB you're assigning CS to VdV? Tbh the lack of expected CS for Spurs is what puts me off Porro even despite his threat. I would consider Everton a bit more solid but have my doubts about how they'll start.

Generally speaking I am always looking for both. I probably skew a bit more toward attacking threat (e.g. probably going with Leif Davis) since I find CBs with no threat a bit dull & I'd rather rotate the cheap attacking defenders to try to boost their CS odds just by avoiding better attacking opponents.

I try and keep it simple look for defenders based on fixtures who I think can keep clean sheets.

After that I look to see if I can find defenders who can keep clean sheets (based on fixtures) AND who could be an attacking threat.

The third option attacking threat only is when I want to save money/transfers

Current defenders are -
TAA - Gvardiol - Porro - Barco (Konsa)

Agreed, set and forget if he goes there

and Jebbison becomes essential.

Richarlison scored 11 non-pen goals from 9.6 xG last season, while Solanke scored 17 from 17.2 xG, so I'm not sure what you're saying is true. Solanke's appeal is availability.

Prefer a

2, Fulham are quite decent against United.

1

Yeah I'm on Nkunku and Kulu

Nkunku and Bailey.

Rogers

Why the desire to drop Salah now?

Gordon + a 6.5 of your choosing

Any rumours?

A la Palmer?

Love this.
Alternatively you could stick in a £4.5m NFO defender as your 5th and get

GW1 - lei, eve, BOU
GW2 - EVE, LEI, sou
GW3 - ips, lei, WOL
GW4 - IPS, EVE, WHU

I have that with Andreas as a rotating midfielder, the rest defenders.
Rogers also rotates well with Barco.

Not for me, Clive. 3 4.0 defenders and two sub-6.0 midfielders just isn’t worth it imo.
