      Thanks guys
      Do you think I should go for MGW or Nkunku for the 6.5m spot in my midfield?

      1. Zoostation
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        MGW. Team looks good. Light at the back but you know that.

        1. Swills

          Yeah 100% just not keen on many of the higher priced defenders apart from having a Arsenal Defender really

        Yup

    Any risk in games being cancelled because of the protests? Small risk I guess since it's more than a week left.

    1. have you seen cyan

      No.

      I think the Spurs game was cancelled during the 2011 riots

      1. have you seen cyan

        not sure who your avatar is, but looks like the stereotypical rioter.

          His name is Ryan and he’s kinda famous

    3. Rock n Grohl

      Wondered this as well. Man Utd v Liverpool came to mind.

      1. have you seen cyan

        4 months, 5 days ago

        If we are considering it, the police have already. There will be increased security at some games. Haven't been following the riots/protests. Which stadiums most likely to be targeted?

        They will try and target football if its still going on by then, but the police wont allow it. It will be mounted police and dogs if they want to try.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      No, as the 'protesters' will be at the games

    5. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 4 Years

      If the football was on most of them wouldn't be rioting

  3. marcos11

    4 months, 5 days ago

    Is this team too risky with the lack of a bench? Could downgrade Raya > 4.5 to allow me go one of the 4.0 > 4.5 and Dias > Gvardiol.

    Raya
    Dias Andersen Konsa
    Son Saka Eze Nkunku MGW
    Haaland Isak
    4.0 Barco Greaves Ladapo

    1. TheBiffas
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I would downgrade the keeper yeah. Or MGW to CHO or other 5.5

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        I keep switching between CHO and MGW. Was CHO injured a lot last season, only 1,800 minutes is a bit of a concern if not.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 4 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          No idea tbh mate

        2. TR1CKY TREES
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          Took a while to break into the team, wasn't fit. One of the first names on the team sheet now.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I’d probably go with a secure starter @4.0m. Harwood-Bellis or Faes, probably.

      Even then, you’re praying no injuries. If you’re planning on banking FT’s this will be tricky.

    3. One Man
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      Dias to Monoz would help strengthen your bench.

  4. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Are people going to try and keep some cash ITB? I feel like its kind of essential if you want to try save some transfers early on. There will be price moves and many. I'm not convinced 0.5 will be enough if you are planning to wait 4 weeks.

    1. I Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      Don't think you should be planning to save transfers. Just play what is in front of you like usual.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Well, most people should have a good team for 5 weeks, maybe 1 or 2 moves max. But a very good team will require zero. So yea, I will play the hand am dealt, but expecting to only have to make minimal or no changes. Strong playing bench.

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I know what you are saying about price increases but to me its the opposite logic. If saving tfs, put all your money out on the park.

      There will always be a bandwagon though but say you keep £0.5. You dont know who youd buy and who youd sell, so mwy not be enough anyway.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Its useful for sure. Price changes are always mad so early. Palmer will be like 10.8 by GW4. If you wanted to do a big switch like Haaland out to upgrade mids 0.5 might not be enough, but maybe Haaland rose in price also.

    3. One Man
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I will have 0.5m in the bank as starting with Son with the intention of upgrading to Palmer gw2/3

  5. HellasLEAF
    • 15 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Gibbs-White or Hudson-Odoi

    1. Zoostation
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      MGW if you have the cash

    2. One Man
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      Like both but on Gibbs White as CHO seems to be subbed of early most games.

  6. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    I was very tempted by ESR as the best £5.5m mid in the game, but he doesn't look fit at all.

    He looks about 3 stone overweight.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      He always looks like this from the photos I have seen. He isn't overweight, but is stocky a bit. Like Shaw.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      very much doubt he starts gw1 at the very least. silva will look to play on the counter at OT, Traore starts imo (Iwobi and Andreas are givens)

    3. TheBiffas
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      He's not even got on the pitch yet lol 😆 plus he's already featured in preseason for arsenal

  7. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Happy with this for now

    4.5/4.0
    Gvardiol-Anderson-Barco-Faes-Harwood Bellis
    Salah-Gordon-Eze-Nikunku-Winks
    Haaland-Isak-Solanke

    Gvardiol to Konsa allows Solanke to Watkins

    1. Wolverine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I'd argue you're better off downgrading solanke to a 6.0 to allow one of the 4m defenders to become porro

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Solanke at Spurs for 7,5mil will become template

      2. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Very sensible
        Porro has been a trap for me in the past. Maybe I need to let that go.

  8. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Is Hudson-Odoi comfortably a better pick that Rogers?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      Probably. Rogers seems like the kind of guy to own in preseason then get barely any minutes in the league. It happened with a Newcastle player last season or the season before. Wrecked preseason then no minutes in the league. Was it Murphy?

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Was it not Elliot Anderson for Newcastle great all preseason then nothing all season.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 5 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          Yea probably. Wouldn't surprise me if same happens with Rogers. He is on my bench. Worth the upgrade otherwise its winks or something which is even worse.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 6 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          It happens far too often for me to be moved by preseason data

          Especially with coaches who already know their squad and have clear favourites or pecking orders

          A great preseason as a fringe player puts you on the shopping window or brings you closer to being tried out if a regular gets injured... And that's if the club doesn't buy a player who replaces you in the pecking order before the window closes anyway

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 5 Years
            4 months, 5 days ago

            championship club to buy rogers?

        3. Ginkapo FPL
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          He wasnt expected to play, and he didnt

        4. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          Anderson benefited from being the fittest player when they came back for preseason last year. Plus he got to play further forward in his favoured position as Howe tinkered around with formations in the friendlies. Ultimately he didn't have the pace that Howe wanted in a wide attacker, so had to bide his time for a chance as a box to box mid.

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 4 Years
            4 months, 5 days ago

            Every pre season a new name is added to the list

            I have even forgot more than i can recall now

            Infamous good preseasons
            - The wigan striker about 16 years ago who was cheap and did nothing (Not Zaki who was legit for a month once)
            - The italian number 10 who did nothing at west ham around 2008-09 - carlton cole was the unexpected fpl bargain instead for whu, people on here were massive on the hype
            - Michael carrick on pens in pre-season - proceeds to miss his pen week 1 v burnley , loses pens
            - Lucas leiva back in 2009-10 in am role
            - Soldado the year Kane emerged
            - Anderson last year

            Feels like Muniz, Bob, Murphy, Wood and CHO are there this year

            1. space mercenary
              • 5 Years
              4 months, 5 days ago

              Also Ross Barkley at Chelsea when Lampard was manager. Scored a hat full on pre-season, but Lampard started Mount from GW1.

            2. I Member
              • 9 Years
              4 months, 5 days ago

              Bobb and Murphy maybe. Don't see how Muniz, Wood and CHO are preseason picks when they excelled last season and were starters for their clubs.

              1. FPL_trail_runner
                • 4 Years
                4 months, 5 days ago

                Wood did some decent work years back with Burnely for a short period

                Then was barren for years until a few weeks at the end of the season

                CHO has never had any consistent returns despite playing for close to 7 years - again a few weeks end of the season isnt long to judge

                Ditto Muniz, short time, few games , hard to judge

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Murillo or Aina?

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      Neither

  10. FPL_trail_runner
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Team for week 1 optimized...

    Flekken
    Gvardiol TAA Saliba Porro
    Salah Saka Eze Bruno Andreas
    Isak (c)

    Subs Joao Pedro, Armstrong, Harwood-Bellis

    4 attacking defenders, 7 pen takers

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      *8 Pen takers should say

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      No Haaland though.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        Salah + Isak > 6mil mid + Haaland captain week 2 depending how City / Ipswich / Liverpool etc look is available

        1. I Member
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 5 days ago

          Salah (BRE) and Isak (bou) out for a -4 sounds terrible.

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 4 Years
            4 months, 5 days ago

            Ya its just an option

            Maybe Ipswich will play tight away from home and with City missing Rodri Foden KDB, Alvarez gone and the defence a mess it may not be such a huge feast

            Haaland v Southampton in a few weeks looks a must captain

  11. CheesyZoot
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    Porro, Gordon, Muniz OR..

    Konsa, CHO, Watkins?

    1. jayzico

    Thoughts?

    Muric/other 4.5 keeper
    Gvardiol porro munoz
    Son saka Rogers jota nkunku
    Haaland isak

    Fabianski Harwood-Bellis faes Fraser

    Using Rogers as my 7th attacker an issue but upside of the rest of the team makes it worth it maybe? Also options in Amad or Bobb may become apparent.

    Or would you maybe downgrade munoz to Andersen to allow a 5.5m (CHO, ESR?)?

    1. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 5 days ago

      I like the Muric pick. Considering him as well. 2x 4.0 defs is too much for my liking. Good team though.

      1. Wolverine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 months, 5 days ago

        I can't see past Muric PPG of 4.7 in last 10 games for Burnley last season with no clean sheets. I expect that Ipswich will concede just as many shots and it's not improbable that they pick up a clean sheet or 2 week 3-5 even.

        Someone did point out to me that he would've had 0 bonus instead of 12 with new changes but that will affect all keepers and 3.5 PPG is still decent for a 4.5m keeper who had no clean sheets. I actually think you can set and forget on him and as long as he plays all 38 games, he won't be far off around 130 points for the season I reckon

  13. have you seen cyan

      Thanks I prefer wood so don't mind that. Who would be your pick from the 4.5m to play each week alongside porro and munoz?

  14. Stranger Mings

        Oh ok any better 5m defenders?

        1. Ballzit
          • 3 Years

          Branthwaite seems reliable there

      Damn it, here comes the bandwagon

  16. Ballzit
    • 3 Years
    4 months, 5 days ago

    I’m leaning Calafiore instead of my usual fine fellow, Saliba, as a calculated gamble?

    Starting on the left plus spots at centre back and seems he will get a goal and a few assists. Low ownership. But naturally I’m hesitant given how reliable Saliba has been, and the largest argument against: same price.

    Nuts or brilliant?

        Miguel. But with Turner, Sels and, possibly, Ramsdale on the scene, I'd stay clear for now.

      Saliba TAA Porro Gvardiol
      Palmer Saka Salah Eze
      Isak 5.5 forward (Pedro hopefully , backup Armstrong)

      Then week 3, 2FT to go Isak + Porro > Watkins + Maatsen

      No issues with Captain until week 9 i think City have by far the best fixtures
      1: Isak
      2: Salah
      3: Saka
      4. Salah
      5. Salah

      Thoughts [and prayers]:

      Raya / 4.0
      Guehi [Assuming Transfer] / Gvardiol / Anderson / 4.0 /4.0
      {?} / {?} / Salah / Nkunku / 4.5
      {?} / Isak / Muniz

      A) Eze/Gordon/Haaland {likely turn Gordon & Salah into Saka & Son, no Foden b/c of Haaland}
      (B) Saka/Son/Watkins {one of Saka or Son become Foden, want Foden b/c of no Haaland}
