As we count down to the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 1 deadline, we’re welcoming back our team of guest contributors for 2026/27.
This time, we get a team reveal from FPL Milanista, who has five top 25k finishes in the last seven seasons. Three of those were in the top 3k.
You can read his recent article on the importance of FPL ownership here.
Verbruggen (Kinsky)
Aina Maguire Calafiori (Ajer, Rodon)
BrunoF Gros Tzolis Semenyo (Ndiaye)
Haaland DCL Pedro
G2G?
Looks good
No Haaland:
1. FH3 - Stack Chelsea and Arsenal
2. Save two FT and 3.0 itb for Bruno and Isak to Haaland and Semenyo or buy any other premium
Won't need to save 3.0 if you go Anderson or Foden for in GW3. As good as Semenyo is, with lower goal threat hes not 2.0 better than Anderson.
2026/27 is the FIRST Premier League season in its 35-season history without a team beginning with “W”.
Johnathon Ross supports Wiverpool!
Which one?
a. white wirtz (own cala)
b. hume semenyo
B
B
B
A because it's funny. A white Wirtz. Like a Black Russian.
Have a team I'm happy with. With the spare 1.5m would you
A) hold it so I can move with flexibility to e.g. O'Reilly, Saka, Palmer, Rogers if I see promising signs
B) put into bench and BB1/2?
If you are really happy with squad for BB then save.
1.5m can give you big improvements, for example you can move 4m defender to 5.5m Arsenal defender
No, the 1.5 doesn't allow for the BB.
So, either put it into the BB or save it.
I agree, but I can only play 11 players each week.
Cheers!
How have you managed to save 1.5! Good work! Keep flexible but I’m not much of a gambler
I mean I think I'm happy with it.
Kinsky 4.0
Cala Shaw Rodon Ajer Diop
Bruno Mbeumo Sarr Ndiaye Gomez
Haaland Thiago DCL
I guess Sarr and Ndiaye could go up but I actually like them for now.
Is De Cuyper nailed? Some comments in a prior thread suggested maybe not but with no detail. Anyone got any knowledge about this?
Hearing he might play OOP
Heard that too and is why I got him in. He should be good value if he is playing wing
Likely to start left wing due to injuries. I see him as a good short term punt and have him in my GW1 BB team
A: Semenyo + Ndiaye
B: Mbeumo + Anderson
*also have BrunoF
B
A. Dont like Anderson
Any reason why? Seems nailed, some set pieces, DC darling. Has more avenues to consistent points than Ndiaye having penalties surely.
Yeah. Same reasons I'm debating between Anderson and Ndiaye.
The 0.5 is more challenging for Haaland team's I would imagine.
A
What midfield option is better:
A. Semenyo 6m mid
B. Foden Rogers
Which Man U mid:
1. Mbeumo
2. Cunha
Thanks
Rogers + Anderson
1
Anderson over Foden? Interesting shout, will he get the defcon in this team?
Was off Foden but due to Domu injury feels more nailed short term so like the punt
I do like Foden he's been in and out of my team in preseason. I just think Anderson has more clarity over role (Rodri gone is huge) and Cherki is always competing with Foden.
Foden looks nailed though for now so I agree hes a good option. Can you use the 0.5? Anderson will get forward more you would think in this team than NFO given all their time on the ball. Rodri's defcons not bad, and Anderson's not bad for England in a high possession style over the summer.
Thanks, on BB so 0.5m would help improve defence
2.0 ITB and a little stuck on what to do with it. BB2, no Haaland. Raya/Nico/Rogers all considered but not sure they are 100% worth their price against my current options. Not overly looking to create a benching headache in midfield by turning Sangare into Rogers but its an option. Could hold the 2.0 as a hedge against no Haaland in case I need to make moves by GW3 or 5 and avoid FH/WC.
Thoughts welcome.
Verbruggen
Gabriel, Cala, Maguire
Bruno, Mbeumo, Szobo, Anderson
Isak, Pedro, DCL
Kinsky, Muharemovic, Sangare, Amenda
Defence and attack are good so I wouldnt mind putting the extra cash into Rogers as a potential cash cow if hes no good
You would do Sangare > Rogers over say Muhar > Nico? Don't think I want Raya at this stage purely because ARS triple seems overkill this early, rather leave a space open to pivot if need be.
Like how advanced Rogers is, could be similar to how JPedro improved his output in a better team
That is my theory too. I actually moved Rogers to Anderson when I realised that I had them pinned for about the same points per start over the first 5 weeks, but Rogers is one I would really like.
Is Muharemovic worth the 0.5 more over Rodon?
Has been for me so far this offseason with the added DC and seemingly more a target at set pieces, though Rodon has some open play threat. In saying that, Rodon might be the best 4.5 and if you need that price point, there are far more decent 5.0's than 4.5's.
Quite liking Muharemovic + Ajer
Perfectly good combo imo!
Which trio? On BB2 - or could downgrade OReily for some cash
Isak Rogers Ndiaye
Barry Palmer Wirtz
Don't like the 5.5 attacker so 1.
Thanks, fair enough
First one
Thanks
Issue with Barry is Beto. 1 bad game and he is benched.
Tis true, like him because of his pace versus his gw1 & 2 opponents, think the mid priced attacker spot will go to the wire
Who do you like least from these 4?
Le Fee
Groß
Ndiaye
Schade
Ndiaye
Short term maybe Gross/Ndiaye. Anything over 3 weeks ELF easily.
I have 1.5 ITB to upgrade 2 of the above 4 > Tzolis + Szsoboslai.
Ndiaye > Szsoboszlai + Le Fee > Tzolis?
That's what I would do
Cheers
Difficult one. Gross is old, conference league qualifiers impact him?
I’ve considered all
Gakpo or Szobo?
Szobo
Agree, take the certainty early on
This
Has to be Szobo with all the transfer rumours
Please rate this team
Raya, Verbruggen
Calafiori, Shaw, Vuskovic, Rodon, Davis
Mbeumo, Szoboslai, Ndiaye, Gibbs-White, Gomez
Haaland, J Pedro, Isak
Solid team, BBW1?
Agree. 0.5 too much on GKs? Think Raya should be played most games for his price and taking an Arsenal spot
RMT plz lads
Raya ( Dubs )
Robertson Cala Hume ( Davis / Thomas )
Mbuemo BrunoF Szobo Tzolis ( Gomez )
DCL Haaland JP
0 ITB
is robby nailed? nice team
Think so. Udogie has injury issues
9/10, like it!
Defence maby a bit too weak
V good Bruno Haaland team
Template mids and forwards so pretty good.
I would downgrade Raya and pump the remainder into defence.
is aina nailed for forest? cheers
I believe so
Which pair would you prefer?
Other mids are Bruno F, Mbeumo and Tzolis
A) Szoboszlai and Slater
B) Ndiaye and Gross
hard to say as I assume slater wont play. a
Other options for same price?
than slater? no, i think he s probably the best 4.5. I ve gone wirtz in my team instead of szobo
Settled on this GW1 BB team - let me know if there are any glaring issues:
Verbruggen
White Tarkowski O’Reilly
Rogers Sarr Foden Tzolis Mbeumo
Pedro Haaland
Kinsky De Cuyper O’Nien DCL
Nothing glaring, g2g!
Thoughts on this team people? BB2
Verbruggen,
Mosquera, Muharemovic, Ballard
Bruno F, Szoboszlai, Sarr, Tzolis
Haaland, Pedro, Calvert Lewin
Kinsky, Sangare, Jacquet, Davis
No idea why I typed Davis… Van Ewijk, obviously
After a zillion drafts this could be the one. G2g? Is crooks the best 4.5m mid?
verbruggen
cala shaw hume
bruno semenyo mbeumo tzolis
haaland pedro dcl
kinsky davis van ewijk crooks
Which 4.0 do you prefer? Currently on O’Nien because of BB1 but should I consider an Ipswich defender more so or leave it?
Between O Nien ans Greaves for me
greaves and van ewijk. i believe cov and forest rotate well so van ewijk and aina could be a cheap def rotating pair
Why Greaves over O’Shea/Diop? Better for DEFCON?
Yeah, and a fan posted that he's been more trusted on that side of the defence in preseason
If i get Saka on a BB1 then I will have an Ips 4m def + Onien
Makes it easier to hold WC until wk 6 with less money on the bench
I have gone off Sunderland a bit tbh -their fixtures aren't that great actually
Yeah Sunderland appeal has definitely lessened and with doubts to Mukiele/Alderete their defence could be stretched.
I think Im going that way anyway and play Cali+Shaw+5m def's every week
Can then get a 4m Coventry def in wk 4
Think finding the best defcon and attacking potential is the way to go, 4.0 defs playing for teams with lower CS potential
Who's more essential Bruno or Gabriel?
Bruno I think, better C option
GTG GW1 BB?
Verbruggen (Kinsky)
Calafiori/White/Maguire (Rodon/Diop)
Bruno F/Mbeumo/Ndiaye/Le Fee (Gross)
Haaland/J Pedro/DCL
Do you think Calafiori is fine for one Arsenal defender and avoid White/Mosquera if not wanting to be forced into early transfers?
Or both White/Mosquera should get us to WC6 anyway?
I think 2 ARS is the play to start, whichever combo you prefer. Think Cala + White is the safest early given rumours of them chasing a new CB refuses to die. I think you get at least 4 GW from White.
Where to spend 3 Million?
Lammens Kinsky
White Calafiori Palestra Rodon Van Ewijk
Bruno Mbeumo Wirtz Tzolis Schade
Isak Pedro DCL
I feel like going with no Haaland means Gabriel is nearly essential
I don’t really agree with that. Arsenal defence has quite a nailed line-up until Saliba and Timber are back, so saving those millions can be crucial, even without Haaland
Gabriel is an 8.0 who scored on par (per start) with Bruno at 12.0 and Haaland at 15.5 - whilst I agree you will cover some of Gab, you won't cover all of him.
Far from essential in Haaland teams, but non-Haaland teams have zero excuse not to chase his combo of CS, DC, Attack and BP at 8.0.
Morning all,
Any feedback on my current team would be much appreciated!!
Lammens
White Mosquera Hume
Bruno Mbuemo Szob Schade
Haaland Pedro DCL
Kinsky Sangare van Ewijk Thomas
Leaves me with a pretty decent BB2 team.
Only think I'm concerned about is having to rely on Hume as my 3rd defender.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!
Thanks guys
Hume will play a lot.
Could be RB, LB, RW or CM.
Okay thats very helpful, thank you. Wasn't too sure as honestly I don't know tons about him.
Appreciate it!
Could go Rushworth instead of Lammens for BB2, and allows you to get Ajer over one of the 4.0's
Good shout! Thanks
Is Watkins really going to Saudi? Villa with 0 fit strikers?
doubt Villa will accept the offer unless Jackson is a done deal.
Sarr and Tzolis or Le Fee and Foden?
Definitely Sarr and Tzolis
I’m pretty settled on this team now. I had Isak and Wirtz in my previous draft but after watching the Como friendly at Anfield on Sunday, they’re both out and Szoboslai back in!
BB1, FH3 and WC 4/5. RMT?
Vergruggen
Mosquera Calafiori White O’Reilly
Bruno(c) Mbeumo Szoboslai Semenyo
Thiago Pedro
Kinsky Maguire DCL Schade
Looks really good for a no-Haaland draft!
Hi all, got it sorted except for 3 spots. Would you go A or B?
A) Ndiaye - Gross - Thiago (BB GW1)
B) Wirtz - Kluivert - DCL (BB GW2)
Lammens (Kinsky)
Virgil - Cala - White (Muharemovic - 4.0)
Mbeumo - Szobo - Tzolis - ___ (___)
Haaland - JP - ___
