      Johnstone leaving Palace? Henderson nailed.

        Yeah, I read a few days ago, he is keen to leave apparently.

    • Deulofail

      How about it? Couple of weeks of this and then a GW3 wildcard?

      Pope (4.0)
      TAA Porro Schar (Barco, Harwood-Bellis)
      Salah Jota ESR CHO (Winks)
      Haaland Isak Wood

        Too much forest attack I think, also not keen to start with Trent

            Make it three

              Phew! free to tinker again

        Wouldn't pick Wood personally as he will get rotated a lot with Awoniyi and Trent and doubling up on Newcastle is a bit risky. Also Jota will get rotated a lot. Is Smith Rowe guaranteed starter as well? Not a big fan of CHO personally over Elanga personally but each to their own.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 4 days ago

          How much can Wood and Jota be rotated in two games? Once? Half a rotation each? It's an interesting question!

      3. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Prefer Elanga to CHO

        *Schar should be Zinchenko

    • Tonyawesome69

      No Calafiori or Timber (injury).

      Saka and Rice on the bench.

      Jesus CF and Havertz left 8

        Timber is just injured the whole time. He is dead wood and should be cut

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 4 days ago

          Timber is not injured, he’s being managed

          He had an ACL injury last season

          Timber is a valuable commodity. Any injury concerns should be duly logged.

        Isn't the idea of friendlies to give everyone necessary gametime rather than play your best team every match?

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Is it?

        Looks like Jorginho, Odegaard, Vieira midfield.

        Front 3 of Trossard, Havertz, Jesus.

        Let's see how they actually line up in game.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 4 days ago

          Could be, just worked on the basis of the Arsenal post stating Jesus up top

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 months, 4 days ago

            He's playing all over the place.

            But yes it does look like the left sided 8 but with license to drift wide and into central areas.

            Arsenal look really good. Watched 10 mins of this friendly.

      Garnacho and Solanke I'm not sure whether to go for Kudus/Toney or others around that price range atm

    • Tonyawesome69

      Pretty much confirms Henderson as #1 at Palace.

      "Crystal Palace ready to sanction Sam Johnstone exit after GK asked to go. 31yo relayed decision on tour - club will help if enough time + acceptable offer. #CPFC want £10m for England int’l. Interest from #LCFC #NFFC #SaintsFC #WWFC (Leicester, Forest, Soton and Wolves)"

        For real? The guy aint played more than 1700minutes in both last season and season before. I'd take him in a second over boring Flekken.

      2. Haa-lala-land
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        I don't think he'd make first choice at any premier league club at the moment. Definitely not Leicester. Maybe Saints, no idea who plays keeps for them.

    • jayzico
      • 13 Years

      Getting a bit para about some of my picks. Who would you rather:

      A
      FOR NAILED-ONESS
      McGinn + Luongo

      B
      BIT DODGY BUT A LOT MORE REWARD FOR RISK
      Rogers + Amad

          Nice. Thanks Bobby. Hey McGinn or Kamada?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 4 days ago

            McGinn is such a boring pick, so Kamada.

              • 13 Years

      ESR + Wood or CHO + Muniz?

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Elanga and Muniz

        1. Doctor Zhivago
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 4 days ago

      Such crazy money they got for Alvarez. More than they paid for Haaland, and thats their backup. He is a great player for sure, but prices are mental, but I guess thats like real life too with inflation.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Biggest myth in history that Haaland only cost £50m or whatever they quoted

          Madrid got Mbappé on a free; very good business to pay absolutely nothing for him.

      Anderson konsa mykolenko
      Salah odegaard nkunku Gordon
      Haaland Isac Pedro

      Subs: winks, johnson and Martinez

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Gordon a risk of not starting in GW1, but he'll be there GW2
        And I think Pedro may have a niggle

      2. stat sifter 888888
        • 4 Years

        Probably need a premium defender, double up on Newcastle attack bit excessive but good team

      a) cho/raya
      b) mgw/henderson

      1. Doctor Zhivago
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        More CS potential in a), but more save points in b)
        CHO and MGW can overlap in terms of total points

        Personally I would choose CHO+Henderson

    • R.C.

            • 9 Years
            2 months, 4 days ago

            What did Howe say?

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 3 Years
              2 months, 4 days ago

              As if we're going to believe what Howe says

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 9 Years
                2 months, 4 days ago

                But you'll believe the opinion of some random on a FPL podcast? No one knows if Gordon will or won't start in GW1 at the minute.

                I've just watched the YouTube short. The guy with the Newcastle top on seems to think they play Saturday and Sunday, when it's Friday and Saturday. He also thinks that Howe is going to give minutes to players on both days. When we played the "Sela cup" last year it was completely different teams each day.

          2. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            2 months, 4 days ago

            That’s not a good source at all

            I hope Gordon doesn’t play however

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 3 Years
              2 months, 4 days ago

              You're right, that particular guy is a poor source of Toon knowledge.
              He also said Barnes has played well pre season. He has not.
              Gordon will want to play GW1, but it may be taken out of his hands and it would make sense for Barnes to start. It's just worth considering!

      Think I'll risk 5 x 4.5m DEFs if Trent doesn't start GW1. Can wait until GW4 to transfer Jota out for him:

      Raya
      Livramento - Hall - Milenkovic
      Salah - Son - Ødegaard - Fernandes - Jota
      Isak - Havertz
      (4m GK - Quansah - Davis - 4.5m ST)

      First time actually contemplating getting Salah into my team:

      A: Salah + Kamada + Martinelli/Trossard (sell in GW2 for Grealish/Doku)

      B: Szoboszlai/Jota + Eze + Odegaard/Saka (sell in GW2 for KDB/Foden) + money ITB

      I want +1 from each CRY, LIV, ARS (to be sold for MCI) so it´s just about players

    • jayzico
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      Why's everyone going CHO over Elanga? Is it a sheep thing? The latter is by far a better player

      1. Club-De-Belon
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        because its not just about data

        1. jayzico
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 4 days ago

          My arguement is not based on data. Purely watching them play with my own eyes

          1. stat sifter 888888
            • 4 Years
            2 months, 4 days ago

            Completely agreed, Elanga is far more direct and threatening whenever I watch them play

          2. Wynkyn
            • 9 Years
            2 months, 3 days ago

            Forest fan here. Elanga is incredibly frustrating sometimes but exciting to watch. CHO is predictable but strangely lethal. I like’em both but Elanga would be behind both CHO and MGW for me.

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        They expect him to score more goals which translates to FPL points imo

          This fad for Arteta playing Havertz in mid knocking Rice deeper worries me. Had Rice or Rodri as a back up should Nkunku breakdown.

            Mate, you could say that about some of those ESR/CHO/etc. punts but not about cheap enablers into one of the best teams. Mostly when its short-term.

        Lowest Score Wins leagues are back!

        Pick your team using your entire budget then ‘set it and forget it’, with no transfers, chips, etc. used during the season. Lowest score wins!

        Classic: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/i46foq
        H2H: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/cynn5t

        The rules are simple but bear repeating in relative depth:
        1. Use your entire budget to pick your team. You must have 0 left to spend when the season begins.
        2. Do not make any transfers once the season begins.
        3. Do not use any chips during the season.
        4. At the end of the season, the team at the bottom of the table (having correctly followed all rules) wins.
