At the end of the day it’s the same defence as last season apart from Branthwaite looking a doubt for gw1. Is that really enough for Mykolenko to go from best 4.5 in the game to unpickable?

I never understood why Mykolenko was in every RMT with 0.09 xGI per 90 last season. Wouldn’t surprise me if Pickford had more than that.

I'd like Everton defefence is there was a genuine 4.5 option. Mykolenko doesn't strike me as that

Pickford or bust it would seem

Looks ok to me

Do not like a one man front line.

don’t like mykolenko and armstrong personally, but decent team

Maybe worth deciding on your 4.0 and 4.5 ?

No City cover

A to start with

For anyone following Liverpool's pre-season, is Szoboszlai looking like a viable FPL option under Slot?

I'm on Nkunku and Brennan Johnson, Gibbs-White would be my preference out of those two

in exact same dilemma, the search for a 6.5 mid. But I ways looking at Kudus or Johnson, leaning towards Johnson.
Would choose Gibbs-White over Garnacho. Think he gonna have talisman status and dont trust united

Johnson, Kulusevski, Nkunku, Bailey

I'm on Johnson (Spurs) for now as Son alongside Mo and Haaland is tough. Have Wood (Forest) and lol United otherwise.

Johnson seems popular. I'm tempted by Kulu and Nkunku in that price bracket. Kudus might be fun, if West Ham are more attacking under their new manager. MGW should be a solid pick with good fixtures. Community Shield should give an indication of Man Utd and Garnacho.

I prefer MGW out of those two

Thank you all, appreciate the quick input. I’m not on the Nkunku train. Might just be my contrarian side, but just not feeling it. Which of course means he’s gonna have a huge season

- It's possible they can both start.

- More likely a sub app in GW1

People prefer TAA to Havertz!?

Not sold on 4/5 of your midfield but that’s the cost of going big with that front three. I would consider downgrading Havertz or Isak and upgrading your mids

With first 3 defenders, you don’t need Burn and in midfield I think you can do better than HO and Kudus. Kudus fixtures are not great and HO will play 69 min or so…considering it’s no Salah team - midfield is not strong enough.

Watkins hasn’t had a single preseason minute

Pool defence is not what it was

Don't take your defense personally; the rest is fine.

Going off pre season I don't really buy into Pool defence isn't what it was theory. Completely different, control and strangle under Slot. Than the heavy metal gung ho under Klopp. Listen to what the players are saying about the difference in style. They've bought into it already.

Because they weren't getting sufficient enough support from midfield is the point here. MacAllister in the single coverage wasn't enough. Not saying that they're anything like Arsenal levels but expect that to improve massively this season.

B but not jota

Some suggestions further up the page.

I think we have 2 GW’s to asses and possibly skip Nkunku and Bailey…fixtures etc. MGW for me with another 6.5 or higher, which can get anyone of those 2 after 2nd GW

I think Nkunku will be

Looks good other than uncertainty over whether Jota starts. It’s aggressive, which I like

dont like jesus pick, prefer havertz!

I like, just think you need an arsenal attacker/palmer

Free model or MD model? What settings did you use to run the model?

Doubt Forest attack. Mist rolling in from the Trent.

no model is ever winning fpl

If those AI/models were any good - we would all use them and there would be 5 mil managers sharing first place at the end of the season.

And an assist

Since when did that guy become prime R9. It's crazy

Need more context, who is the 4th defender, how often would you captain Haaland

A

Villa ran out of steam with European demands, losing kamara was big as well

although having said that he did the same 2022/23 season, only 1 in his last 7.

streaky player

3 goals in 10 matches isn't tragic by any means

Easy A

Robinson

dunk

Robinson or Murillo

Robinson looks really good

Geuhi if he goes to Newcastle

Outside bet (very outside): Martinez

Who got the assist for his goal

That front line hurt my eyes, Wood is and has been on fire

Would you do Saka + Konsa + Wood -> MGW + Gvardiol + Havertz?

Wood
