Best Liverpool players to sign on FPL in 2018/19 – Complete Members’ Analysis

Mohamed Salah will once again be the key Fantasy Premier League asset to own among Liverpool’s ranks this season.

The Egyptian may have had a huge price hike to £13.0m for 2018/19 but his underlying attacking numbers suggest he deserves to be valued higher than any of his colleagues.

However, there are plenty of cheaper options to consider for our FPL squads too as Jurgen Klopp’s men have a particularly appealing start to the new season.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the important data in the Members’ Area and also read our full analysis of it below to help them pick the best possible FPL team this season.

    Strong enough with enough depth?

    Foster
    Coleman Cedric PVA Baily
    Salah Siggy Mahrez Deulofeu
    Aubama Aguero
    (Fabianski Wan-Bissaka Chalobah Kamara)

    1. Scotty B

      Wouldn't have Bailly or Delefeou rest looks strong

    2. ROLLING THE DICE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      GK yes.

      Wan Bissaka 50/50.
      Chalobah probably not.
      Deulofeu is very much a form player. He tends to get dropped and then struggles to make it back in the starting XI.
      Cavaleiro at Wolves should play every game and is on set pieces.

    Is Gudmundsson worth putting in even with EL fixtures?

      I just cant ignore Firmino. Great value.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        But team is strong just 2'questions: are youbsure you want play Patricio every week and can Spurs hold a CS with so many possible out in first games?

        1. Top 210 Club
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Good questions,
          1. Yeah just gonna play and pray then recess for early wc
          2. Team decimated but only looking at first two games hoping he starts like last season with attacking returns

      2. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Funny thing Firmino scored 6 more points than Azpi last season, and costs 3.0m more. Firmino also scored less than 20 points per million (181 when he would need 190 to hit that target this season).

        He's value in the sense that he's quite reliable and comes in that awkward price bracket for a forward which is handy, but in the true sense of the word 'value' I actually don't he is.

        Could dropping down to someone like Tosun and spreading 2.5m around your defence improve your squad massively? I believe it could. In theory all 5 of your defenders could move up by 0.5m, which is almost guaranteed to turn into points. Is Firmino going to destroy Tosun? I'm not convinced at all.

        1. MINUS FOUR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Firmino also scored exactly 6 points more than Alli last season, who everyone says was terrible. Alli is now 0.5 cheaper rather than the other way around.

          And All's best season total is 44 points higher than Firmino's best season. So Bobby is safe, but he's not explosive and I don't think he's a player that will separate you from the pack or turn into a bargain for the price. And you wouldn't captain him either, so he's a tricky price range (not premium, not budget value). Way about the budget strikers, tantalisingly close to Auba / Aguero without the explosiveness or potential for a 250 points season.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Tosun intriguing, William monitor and may replace Zaha. Then Siggy has to go

        3. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah...Im still on Firmino but thanks

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldnt spend 6.5 on Azpi from the start. Great fixtures but it will take a few weeks at least for the team to master the Sarri-way, I think.

      Not so keen on Aguero and Sanchez but I get the appeal.
      Masuaku is reverse OOP (but I guess he's in your team because 4.5, so that's fine).

      1. Top 210 Club
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! Falling into the premium defender trap. Guess is just fear but valid point! Yeah need to monitor both Aguero and Sanchez now that they haven't arrived for pre season camps. Really want Aub but those first twice fixtures! Will monitor pre-season and see how things look.

          GW1 - Many City key players are still on holidays (or have just started their holidays) whereas Arsenal is already preparing for that game with almost everyone. It's at the Emirates Stadium. City won't put the focus on defense. I see Arsenal scoring, if not winning.

          GW2 - very tough game on paper, but Sarri is not a defensive-minded coach. As I said before, the getting-used to Sarri should lead to Chelsea conceding a bit more than usual. Arsenal could score.

          From GW3 - Amazing fixtures.

          I start with Aubam over Aguero.

          1. Top 210 Club
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks will definitely consider it! Love the Aub

        2. ROLLING THE DICE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn’t be concerned with fixtures for Auba (or Aguero). They’ve scored against some of the best defences in Europe. If anything, it’s the tougher games when big players show their worth.

  4. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So what's the new template then?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Fab Patricio
      Robertson Coleman Cedric Tomkins Peltier
      Salah Mahrez Mkhi Deulofeu Stephens
      Aguero Firmino Tosun

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Nice one. Delefeou really? Is he 5.5? Don't get the love for him tbh

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Not much in that 5.5 price range, played quite often for Barce so cant all that bad 😉

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Crainey

            1. Roy Rovers
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              * Cairney

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      My team is very template.

      Ederson Boruc
      Robertson Bailly Cedric Tomkins Peltier
      Salah Mahrez Mkhi Hughes Stephens
      Kun Firmino Tosun

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Is that Hughes at Watford? What's that all about?
        Bailly won't be first choice will he?
        And Mahrez will he play every week?
        Those 3 wo ukd be my only concerns and of course Aguero when Jesus is back eill be a nightmare knowing which one plays each week like last season

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Best 5m option imo
          Bailly should be first choice at the beginning
          Mahrez could be gold imo
          Aguero 1st choice imo

          Probably gonna wildcard early once all World Cup players are back anyway so this team is for the first 3/4 gw’s

      2. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Keep an eye on Shaw at Utd.

    3. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Even your replies are questions, it's quite unbelievable really!

          Question

          1. Carlton P
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Brilliant. At least he is having more of an input tho

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Yea bless him

  5. The Baby-faced Assassin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best 2 mids at 5.0? Currently on Hughes and Costa

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      neither

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Those 2 and Cairney. On Hughes atm.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Cairney and Pritchard IMO.

    4. ROLLING THE DICE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I like Cavaleiro (5.5) at Wolves plus 4.5.

    5. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      McCarthur is the forgotten mid at 5.0 in my opinion.

      5 goals and a few assists in each of the past 2 seasons in premier league, without playing full minutes. Now appears nailed on and is scoring already in pre-season. CPL are a better attacking team than FUL, HUD for example, and McCarthur has the likes of Zaha, Mili to link up with. Comparing his goal scoring record to those coming up from the Championship, and he scores more per 90 minutes than Cairney etc and at a higher level.

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        McArthur*

      2. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'm a big fan of McArthur from a fantasy point of view. At 5.0 he's a great option and a better one than Cairney imo.
        Thoughts on Noble? Is he nailed? Relying on pens but could get lucky

        1. MINUS FOUR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          McArthur is unfashionable so gets little attention. He's dull, but he's a known quantity. Towards the end of last season he was really linking up with the Palace attack quite well, getting into good positions and scoring goals. I think he's far superior to Cairney or anyone else at 5.0, but people like taking punts on Championship beasts.

        2. MINUS FOUR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't be going anywhere near Noble, but that's just me. Better options surely.

  6. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So Willy Caballero soon to be Chelsea's first choice keeper? 😯

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      For the time until they sign either Schmeichel, cech or Allison by the sounds of things. Hope it’s one the first two to help with our teams

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Allison to Liverpool right?

        1. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Could be but don’t be too shocked Chelsea come in with a bid for him last minute

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Not sure he's an upgrade particularly and they're getting

  7. burgioaguero
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Which group of three players do you guys think is better?

    A) Aguero, Tosun & Lamela (0.5ITB)
    B) Firmino, Wood & Martial (0 ITB)

    Thanks in advance!

    1. palace ash
      • 14 Years

      A

      1. burgioaguero
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        How about (a) van Aanholt, Martial & Firmino or (b) Bavies, Cairney & Aguero?

    2. ROLLING THE DICE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A bit with 0.5 upgrading Lamela. He’ll likely start the first few games but their squad is depleted.

  8. ForEvra Young
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best option at 6.5 (XXX) to complete this?

    Ederson
    Robertson - Bailly - Coleman - Doherty
    Salah - Mahrez - Jota - XXX
    Aubameyang Firmino

    Hamer - Tomkins - Stephens - Kamara

    1. RossoneriHammer

        Don't like him but if PL decide to use VAR... 😀

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years

      Wally

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Even with Malcom coming in?

          1. Carlton P
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Wally played LW last few games of the season and looked good cutting in. Malcom will most likely go to a bigger team than Everton

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Walcott can play 3 positions. Malcolm in heavy talks with Toffees.

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'd suggest this:

      XXX = Cairney (5.0M)

      Kamara (4.5M) to Barnes (6.0M)

      Then 4-3-3 with this bench:

      Hamer | Cairney Tomkins Stephens

    Best 7M Mid? Gross? Lallana?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Long term? Yarmalenko, Mkhi

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yarmolenko's unproven though.

        Mkhi, at least, has already played some games at PL.

  10. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this new draft folks? Morata to auba after a couple of gws if needed.

    ederson speroni
    Robertson coleman baily Tomkins peltier
    salah sanchez silva deolefue masuaku
    Morata tosun zaha

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't go for Morata -- he didn't prove he's worth it.

      I'd upgrade him to Firmino / Kun -- for that purpose I'd downgrade Zaha.

  11. PremElite1819
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    New to this this website, any advice for my team? Not sure if 3x man city is over the top.

    Ryan
    Robertson, Everton 4.5m, Rudiger
    Salah, Sane, Mahrez, Kennedy
    Aguero, Tosun, Zaha

    Fabianski, Daniels, Wan Bissaka, Stephens

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Don't like Ryan, Fab; Kennedy fixtures.
      Not sure whether Rudiger is nailed on.
      Wouldn't rely on Bournemouth's defence.

      I'd downgrade Zaha, sell one of Sane/Mahrez, sort out the goalkeepers and defence as well.

      That's my opinion. Wait to hear other opinions too.

    2. RossoneriHammer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think 2 man city mids is risky and being as you don't have Spurs cover I'd swap one for Eriksen, he's a great fantasy asset.
      Also I'm not sure Rudiger will be nailed and for me Arnautovic is a better option than Zaha but hey, it's all about opinions!

  12. Kambo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    A) Tosun Tomkins Costa
    B) Kamara Azpi Cavaliero

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on your whole team imo.

    2. Eze Really?

  13. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero or Aubameyang is hurting my head.

    Aubameyang better bet over the season.

    First game is toss of a coin.

    Second game scares me not having aguero.

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Planning transfers also rarely works.

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero for the first two. Then swap him to Auba.

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Get both then

  14. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    No love for Burnley defense? Great starting fixtures.

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I’m asking this question but for Gudmundsson. I like the fixtures but just a bit wary of EL fixtures. If Burnley sign players it could be good to go

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Structure just doesn’t allow me to have a 5m def. But if it did they would be top of my list.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        def: 2x premium 2x 4.5 1x 4.0?

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          6.0 6.0 5.5 4.5 4.0

          1. QuintonFortune25
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Looks expensive, let me guess: Robbo, Mendy, Bailly, Cedric, Peltier ?

            1. arndff_
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              You almost guessed mine defence:

              Coleman instead of Mendy though.

              1. QuintonFortune25
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah reckon most defences for now will be fairly similar. I'm on Robbo, Bailly, Douglas, Cedric, Wan-Bisaka.

                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  Who are your GKs? I'm with Ederson & Speroni at the moment.

                  1. QuintonFortune25
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Ederson and 4.0. Will hopefully get at least one 4.0 that looks to be a starter by the start of the season.

                    1. arndff_
                      • 12 Years
                      5 years, 8 months ago

                      That'd be nice, yeah.

                  2. RossoneriHammer
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Fabianski and Patricio

            2. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Yup just Tomkins over Cedric. Still considering Ederson but if Mendy is set start I perefer him.

              1. QuintonFortune25
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah I actually prefer Palace defence over Southampton but if Wan-Bisaka is nailed then surely would go with him over Tomkins and save 0.5?

                1. Karan14
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  Yup for sure. Monitoring him too.

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      BUR fixtures are really good and I think most people (me incl.) overlook their assets.

    4. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      5.0 (decent options at 4.5), EL fears. Dyche is Dyche, they’ll be good defensively imo. First EL game vs Aberdeen, so it’s not like they’re travelling far. It’d be great to know who’s first choice gk.

    5. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah but the Europa league is putting me off, actually hope they don't qualify so I can get one! Would probably be Mee

  15. prediksi bola hari ini
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    RMT:

    GK: Ederson , Button
    DEF : Tarkowski , Alexandre-Arnold , Daniels , Cedric , Bissaka
    MID: Mkhi , Salah , D.Silva, Siggy, Masuaku
    FWD: Aguero , Zaha , Vardy

    I am not too sure but why is Vardy not there in teams I saw? Not sure if he is returning back for GW1? Seems a decent fixture for Leicester :/

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Will TAA be nailed on?
      Daniels... meh.

      Prefer not to have Mkhi for the first two, after that, having an Arsenal assets will be a must.

      I like Siggy but not sure how many points he'll deliver.

      Maybe Vardy isn't in many FPL drafts because of selling Mahrez -- Leicester side may become a weaker one.

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Lack of Mahrez is a problem for Vardy and makes him less appealing. Considering Gray at 5.5 tho for Leiscester, hopefully he can provide Vardy with some service.

    i just can't be bothered commenting on rmts, the more high profile friendlies will change everything, just takes a couple of Alexis goals and teams will ripped up for him and whoever stars in the charity shield will be going straight in. zzzzzzzzzz

    1. Dr Van Nostrand

      Same complete waste of time right now. Everyone's team will change substantially

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        i get why people are tinkering, this is our favourite waste of time afterall, but throwing it out there looking for feedback, nah

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yep esp for feedback but I waste too much time on this game too but don't actually worry about my team till right before the season as so much changes in preseason

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hope he stays quiet. Want him as a differential

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        this is the thing with pre-season you want your picks to be under radar yet how do you spend 10.5 on someone who can't even hurt muppet central teams

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I try to ignore his last season. He was sulking in the first half at Arsenal after his move to City almost went through on deadline day. Then at United he was a flop true, but I still haven't lost faith.

          People have short memories. He scored a whopping 264 points in 16/17. I think if he was at a better club than United, he would be a steal at 10.5. Hope United start strong.

          And I'm an Arsenal fan 🙂

    3. Now I'm Panicking

      Always been this way and it isn't going to change. I used to tie myself in knots for weeks before GW1, now I don't really think about my team until a couple of days before the start. Each to their own though.

    4. StoichkovFPL

      I asked for this last season, Mark replied that the members only HT were the best they can do in order not to separate the community too much.
      I think the members deserve the option, since we are really the ones who support and truly appriciate the work of FFS

  18. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    First draft after 2 hours
    Auba placeholder required til Gw3. Getting there or not?

    Fab 4.0

    Robertson Ward Tompkins Keane Daniels

    Salah Sane Mahrez Martial McArthur

    Aubameyang Tosun Quaner

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero is the perfect Auba placeholder

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        you think there's a cat in hells chance of doing thst move after kun scores?

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Kun can go mad for the first 2 weeks I will go Auba then no matter what. City and Arsenal both will have great fixtures. Ideal then would be Auba and 3 City attackers but with Salah too it's not affordable.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Also can Mahrez and Sane play in the same team position wise I mean apart from the assumed standard rotation?

  19. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Pedro might be a real gem when Hazard signs for RMA.
    Much better than Jota I think

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      he starts in cc he'll be more popular than Trump in Alabama

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Add him to the list:

      Theo, Mili, Jota, Mkhi, Ramsey, Siggy... and now Pedro.

      Plenty of 6.5-7.5 mid options.

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Mkhi surely not?

        ---------------------------Leno
        --Bellerin----Mustafi---------Sokratis-------Kolasinac
        --------Xhaka-----------Torreira-------------Ramsey
        ------------------------------Ozil
        --------------Auba--------------------Lacazette

        Cant see him being a regular in the team, even that while assuming we dont sign that wide player.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Who does Emery have that can provide width? Probably Auba, Laca, Mkhi, maybe Welbeck and one of Auba/Laca has to play up top so I think Mkhi has a great chance of starting.

          I would also hope that in trainings Mkhi’s link up with Auba becomes apparent to Emery & he wants to capitalise on it.

          Wouldn’t be surprised to see Ozil dropped initially? Someone said Emery likes a pressing style & you are not going to get a lot of work rate out of Mesut.

      2. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Mkhi and Ramsey def the pick of thst bunch

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mili could be a superstar this year hoovering up pens, DFK’s, and headers from corners & IFK’s.

          10 goal midfielder for 6.5 who is nailed don’t come around very often.

          Bear in mind if he repeats last year he will likely get bumped to 7.5 or 8.0, and I see nothing that has changed at Palace to suggest he will do worse.

          Although if Zaha leaves that would hit him hard with reduced supply of set pieces.

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      They'll surely sign someone decent with the Hazard money right?

      -------------------------Courtois
      --Azpi------Christensen---Cahill-------Alonso
      ------Jorginho--------Kante----------RLC
      --Willian----------Morata/Gru-----------(Hazard)

      Unless even Willian goes, I dont see Pedro getting a lot of game time.

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Alisson and Higuain I guess?
        Or RLC replacement, I don't see him starting..

      2. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You think RLC will play regularly? If he does - who cares about Willian / Pedro - that's your Chelsea mid right there.

  20. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I'm scared of no changing anything in my draft for the last 2 days or sth.

    Ederson
    Robertson Bailly Cedric
    Salah(c) Dilva Jota Cairney
    Aguero Firmino Tosun

    Speroni | Coleman Peltier Masuaku

    Nothing ITB

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Baily not nailed and why get Coleman to bench him?
      Two Wolves mids is a strech.
      Otherwise ok

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Prefer Cedric(BOU) vs. Coleman(wol) for GW1.

        Who are my 2 Wolves mids?

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          My bad, meant two championship mids*
          might work though

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            You got a point.

            Would go for Kenedy if NEW fixtures weren't that bad...

    2. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I dont expect David Silva to start more than 20 games this season, as per what Pep was saying. Probably he's okay only as a short term option.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reminder.

        Who do you prefer between Sane and Mahrez?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Personally prefer Sané, as here is a degree of uncertainty with Mahrez. Sané last year at times looked like the new CR7.

          Hoping with city’s World Cup players Sané steps up as star man for the period up to the first IB

          1. LosBlancos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah but with Mendy playing Sane's role is diminished I think

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I wonder does it not just mean zero defensive responsibilities for Sané. Mendy is looking good for 6.0, could perform as a good 7.5-8.0 midfielder, plus get 10-15 CS’s

        2. Saniul
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I like Mahrez more, actually. City were after him for a long time, and they have paid some serious money. Wouldn't be surprised if he nails down a spot in that front 3.

          But long-term, when you have Sterling, Sane, Bernando and Mahrez competing for the same two spots, it will be rotation city for sure.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah I just think with Mahrez we dont quite know how he’ll do at city. He was well capable of blanking at Leicester, now he has new teammates, new personalities to integrate with, new training, new manager, new system etc.

            Sané has been around the block with City and should hopefully be more consistent for it.

            Don’t disagree that Mahrez could do very well, but definitely prefer Sané to start with the of Mahrez until he gets that first 8+ point game.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      fixtures, prices and did ok at the end of last season.

    2. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I keeo thinking he is not the type of striker Silva likes

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        someone posted yesterday that the mf's tend to do well for Silva. Not sure how accurate that stmt is....

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          So Theo or Mirallas could do well? Wonder if any chance mirallas could be a 5.4, could be interesring

          1. LosBlancos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Mirallas could be great possibly

      2. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        So if your team needs a 7.0M striker, who are you going to buy?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          That's the thing - I don't want to buy Tosun because I have 7m to spend. Then I rather get wood/King or a 6m(if we are lucky) and get a Everton def.

          I prefer Arnie over all the other 7m's. Just depends if he stays at WH and where he plays.

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        What type of striker does Silva like?

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          quick and with technical?

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I prefer Theo, but I dont dislike him as an option.

  23. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Lie to Scotty B

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Scotty doesn’t know

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    The key factor in my team seems to be how many of Salah, Auba, Kun, Firmino, I try to squeeze in.

    If only picking two, I can have a very strong 9 around them, plus a good bench.

    Picking three stretches things a bit, and picking 4 really means going down towards a 17.0m bench with at least one if not two 5.0 or 5.5 mids starting.

    I’d actually to go to KDB instead of Kun overall, but the way things are shaping up, it looks better to go Kun for the first few games then switch to KDB. Treble City looks fairly prudent given their fixtures

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Double City looks enough for me. Mendy & Mahrez.

  25. ForEvra Young
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best value at 7? Have Auba.

    Gross, Mkhi or any 6.5 except Jota?

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not Mkhi. Won't start.

      Theo is a good option if he is a starter - keep a tab on the friendlies. Sessegnon?

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why do you think he won't start?

      2. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        What? Haha
        Mkhi is a definite starter

    2. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Mkhi is a steal at 7m

  26. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    First Draft:

    Ederson Speroni
    Robertson Daniels Tarkowski Bennett Malone
    Sane Salah Mkhi Neves Cairney
    Aguero Firmino Tosun

    Thoughts?

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Apart from Mkhi, front 8 looks good. Defence kinda suspect.

    2. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Mkhi is a great option, dont listen to this guy

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      good for now but really hard to pick a good 5m(hughes-cairney-mcartur-etc) player and i also like neves for his long-range shoot--you cant ask more from 5m player maybe if there are setpiece taker on that range

  27. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Starting to feel fairly settled on this bunch

    Ederson
    Pva Coleman Bailey robbo
    Siggy Mahrez salah Ramsey
    Wood kun

    Speroni Cairney kamara Bennett

    Bailey place holder for nailed Utd def
    Ramsey monitored, could become chels mid or downgraded to a 5m to upgrade Bennett to azpi

    Any other areas to consider?

    1. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have 9 starters so I approve

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Siggy and Ramsey is Lookman and Firmino but Everton are in talks with Malcom now..

          I saw that, looks like it gaining momentum to put a spanner in the lookman pick, which is a shame as could of been great

      Like Ramsey pick. Will be monitoring.
      Already planning to have Martial and Kun and in GW3 they are gone for Ramsey and Auba.
      Of course this will work out fine with no other issues 🙂

        Nice plan on paper. Need to monitor how Chelsea line up, Pedro, Willian, Fabregas, Moses could be great options

    I have been trying to make a good team and I finally came up with this:

    3/4/3
    Pickford / Speroni
    Robertson , Bailly , (Trippier or Mendy) , (Tomkins or Daniels) , 4.0
    Salah , Mahrez , Eriksen , Cairney , Masuaku
    Aguero , Tosun , Austin

    What do you guys think? and who should I pick between players in ( ) ?

    Any other suggestions ?

    Thanks!

      Mendy, Tomkins
      Id avoid Spurs to start with. Downgrade Erik and get Firmino for Tosun
      Bailly not really nailed.
      Get Stekelenburg as reserve for Pickford
