With the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 1 deadline fast approaching, the final team reveals are coming in.
This time, we hear from Dan Wright, who you can find here on X. Dan has five top 10k finishes, which means he ranks 30th in our Career Hall of Fame.
I will almost definitely do Mbuemo to Rogers in GW3.
Should I just start with Rogers instead and bank the 0.5m and save the transfer later?
Probably better to bank the points. One goal more from Mbuemo in his plum fixtures and you’re already better offZ
start with Mbuemo
In GW3 Chelsea have Arsenal away, who they haven't beat since like 2021, whilst Mbeumo has Everton away - are you sure about that one mate?!
Meant 4 but same principle
Go Mbuemo and see how Rogers starts
Best option;
A) White & Gross
B) Ajer & Tzsolis
Cheers.
B
B
Hi, what will you do?
A. BB Gw1
B. BB Gw2
C. Neither
Thanks 🙂
I’m in the minority but on C. Allows me to have good fodder of Slater and Thomas which those on A won’t have. Could also do B if I pull out 0.5m to put on the second keeper
A or B for me
I'm on C but the vocal majority are on A or B.
Neither
Pick one please, it's for the final spot in the team:
A) O'Nien
B) Hume
C) Ballard
D) Muhamerovic
E) Mykolenko
F) Colwill
Whoever it is, can easily be benched in the future when needed. So this is basically for GW1.
B
D
D
C
Being a Sunderland fan - Hume and Ballard nailed, there is a good chance O’Nien starts - but Alderete and Mukiele both back training.
I think long term Muhamerovic is the best bet, but if just for W1 I’d go Ballard.
Good luck
Do you have Ajer?
Yes
C short term (2 - 3 game weeks), D long term.
Lammens Kinsky
Calafiori Muharemovic Vuskovic Palestra O'Nien
Bruno Wirtz Tzolis Mbeumo Semenyo
Isak Pedro DCL
.5itb
Would you downgrade anywhere to put more money on the pitch? Get Thiago for DCL?
Like this draft.
I’d potentially drop Wirt/Vuskovic/Palestra down to give funds for Thiago
Amazing team mate!!!
I've gone very similar, but am fully committing to the "City may struggle" bit and not having any coverage. May bite me, but essentially going Semenyo->6ish mid and upgradung a defender to VVD.
My wildcard never lasts past GW4/5 so just focusing on those early weeks, and if City have a bit about them I will FH in GW3
Oh and I've got Gabriel over Cala too
Are you bench boosting early? That's a lot of money tied up in the goalkeepers. Plus Thiago is a better option than DCL.
A: Haaland, Anderson and Wirtz
B: Bruno, Semenyo and Isak?

Good morning all!! BB1
Really liking this draft, 0.5 in the bank Bruno and JP to Haaland and 4.5 in GW3 then WC in 4
Lammens
White Calafiori O’Reilly
Bruno Mbeumo Tzolis Semenyo
Thiago DCL JP
Verbruggen Ndiaye Tarkowski Diop
Thoughts welcomed!!
Cheers everyone!!
Looks great, see mine above, very similar. Ive gone Wirtz over Ndiaye and for you I would defitely go schade over ndiaye and not tarkowski
Thankyou mate!! Yeah I keep going back and forth with Schade as I have Thiago I’ve gone Ndiaye bout could change, Tarkowski could easily end up going
Liking this! Very similar to mine.
Lammens
Gvardiol. Calafiori. White
Bruno (C) wirtz. Mbeumo. Tzolis
Isak. Thiago JP
Kinsky Ndiaye Muharemovic Kadioglu
I'm just unsure on Wirtz, I want to think he'll perform but I just can't decide if I should look elsewhere. Thoughts on this and overall balance of team welcomed...
Amazing team mate!! Very well balanced with lots a great options all with different route to points too!! Wirtz worth a punt for the start of the season I think!!!
Nice one for the comment.
Going to be hiding behind the sofa when hall and plays...praying for a blank to justify my no Haaland team!
Also BB GW1 too
Best 2 5M defenders?
Ballard, Muharemovic, van Hecke
Jacquet could come into the mix later
Short term, Ballard and Maguire. Long term, Vuskovic, Muharemovic, Neco and Canvot.
Morning all,
Kinsky Verbruggen
Calafiori Maguire Muharemovic Hume Vuskovic
Odegaard Tzolis Mbeumo Schade Szobo
Isak Haaland Pedro
BB good to go?
Good luck all
Would you pick:
A) Mosquera, N.Williams, Szob
B) Gabriel, IPS DEF (prob Davis), Sangare
Trying to get out of this Mosquera rotation nightmare while keeping ARS defence coverage...
A
A but with Calafiori
Kadioglu or De Cuyper?
De Cuyp short term, Kadi long term.
Cheers, might go DC in that case before WC.
Anderson EO% only 8.9...
😕
Open to suggestions on how to improve on Maguire/Gvardiol and Rodon for 15m Feel like I've been on these 3 for a while and no other combo I've looked at appeals. Possible early WC so just looking at first 5wks really.
Other 2 defs are califiori and o'shea who I am happy with.
Muharemovic and Vuskovic
1. Wirtz White DCL
2. Wirtz Diop Thiago
3. Schade WhiteThiago
1
1 but with Calafiori
G2G?
Verbruggen (Kinsky)
Aina Shaw Calfiori (Ajer, Rodon)
BrunoF Szoboszlai Tzolis Mbeumo (Gomez)
Haaland Pedro DCL
Yes it's good, but would you consider Verbruggen > Dubravka and then use the extra 0.5 for Szobo > Wirtz?
Is a gw1 BB of Verbruggen, Aina, Egeli and van Ewijk worth it?
why v Ewijk?
well it can be any 4.0 def honestly
Not seeing much love for van Hecke on here? Proven player, defcons, Spurs hopefully improved defense and ok fixtures - am I missing something?
Kinsky, cheaper way into the spurs defence
is there a case for both ?
Not for me
I'm a van Hecke fan, but I think Muharemović for Leeds is even better as a 5.0 defender, and with Kinsky you've got a cheap way into the Tottenham defence... as SpaceCadet as already suggested.
Muharemovic certinayly an option. Unproven in PL though, although everyone expecting him to be great value. Also, Spurs opening fixtures somewhat kinder than those of Leeds
He's nailed on in my team. Got defcon last 7 games of last season. 6 attacking returns. Nailed on. 5mil. Will end up on 170+ IMO. Shhhhh.
I see a lot of folks jumping off Haaland to A) go for Isak and B) beef up the rest of their squad.
Now, I ask: why, with Haaland's great start to seasons in the past, would anyone do that? I mean, beside the fact that he's bloody expensive?
I offloaded him yesterday but couldn't sustain it for 24 hours lol
He's back now in the team
Challenge in getting him off is that there are not enough opportunities to utilise the funds
Who’s the most nailed 4.5m Leeds defender ? Looking at Rodon at the moment.
Yes Rodon
Ditto
White or Gvardiol?
White
White
White
... and to follow up on above post:
A) Kinsky + Maguire
or
B) Lammens + van Hecke
The cheaper option
A
A saves 0.5m so I’d prefer that
A
Can't wait for the deadline, back to making a BB1 team again. Any good?
verbruggen
cala shaw hume
bruno mbeumo szobo tzolis
haaland pedro dcl
kinsky gros aina davis
Solid
On BB1
Which pairing?
Tzolis (COV) and Rodon (nfo)
or
Ndiaye (CRY) and Muharemovic (nfo)
A
I'm sure it won't help, but I'd try and find a way to get Tzolis and Muharemovic.
Going no Szobo worth it?
Szobo > Anderson (+0.5)
Rodon > Muharemovic
Ndiaye > Tzolis
I'm not a fan of Szobo (may play too deep), or Anderson (won't get DefCons like he did last season). I don't dislike Rodon at 4.5, but much prefer Muharemovic at 5.0. Tzolis might be exceptional value at 6.5m.
IOW
Szobo and Rodon
or
Anderson and Muharemovic?
A
Planning to BB GW2, any thoughts on this team?
Verbruggen, Kinsky
Calafiori, Shaw, Hume, Van Ew, Thomas
Bruno, Semenyo, Szoboszlai, Tzolis, Gross
Haaland, DCL, Pedro
Don't like Gros' gw2 fixture
Brighton have won their last 4 games Vs Chelsea. Agree on paper not the best looking though
...and Promise David may take the pens off Gross.
Could be best opportunity with the double Cov against Hull. Only flaw I’d have with is Verbruggen against Che but you’d imagine a couple of saves etc so I’d say G2G
Change Verbruggen to Petrovic or Rushworth is an option
A - Mbeumo/Ndiaye/Le Fee
B - Szob/Tzolis/Dango
B if you have Bruno
A
Which pair?
I have Calafiori and Tzolis already.
A) White + Shaw
B) Maguire + Jacquet
A, close call though
I think I'm leaning B honestly. I think it works better for my team. And I like having an Arsenal spot open for either Saka or Konsa.
I just fancy arsenal's clean sheets odds more than any other team currently
B
* as long as Jacquet starts, that is.
Team A
Kinsky verbruggen
Calafiori Maguire Muharemovic Ajer O’Nien
Bruno Mbuemo Tzolis Ndiaye Gross
Haaland JPedro Brobbey
Team B
Kinsky verbruggen
Calafiori Gabriel Rodon Ajer O’Nien
Bruno Mbuemo Tzolis Semenyo Gomez
Isak JPedro Thiago
Team c - start again mate
A

Im done BB Team
Raya Lemmens
Calafiori Williams Shaw DeCuyper Hume
Semenyo Mbuemo Wirtz Tzolis Gross
Halaand Pedro Richarlson
Why are people setting up to wildcard in gw3?
Personally always try to wait until 1st IB but in hindsight an early WC is always possible no matter how much you try set up team so it’s a matter of optimising the early fixtures and then catching players before all the rises after a couple of games
Morgan Gibbs-White, Florian Wirtz, or Morgan Rogers?!
Wirtz
