Depends on the keeper and his fixtures imo

Save money for what?

As I said before, I agree with your point re value. But you have done what others haven't and gone for Salah(c). If he flops you are screwed.

Clickbait alert. That's a bloody awful team

I disagree completely with this personally. Won all my mini leagues last season always having at least two premium Strikers. There's nothing worse than a late consolation being scored against your 6 million defender.

lol

Some thoughts about your idea here https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/07/22/england-world-cup-influence-on-fpl-transfer-market-shifts/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_18395006

LOL @correct.

You are talking complete nonsense. I am embarrassed for you. 1 post was enough. Just pick the team you want.

Here's an idea:

Don't pick Salah at 13m and give yourself multiple 10m+ options to captain based on fixtures and form

You are looking at the value thing completely wrong - expecting a defender to outscore the forwards in value is inevitably going to happen, but it’s when the points hit.

By this logic Aguero can’t be worth having because he doesn’t hit the 20 point mark all the time, but Robertson is because he’s guaranteed a clean sheet or an attacking return every game.

In the long term I think your assesment is true, but in the short term I think your'e wrong. This season sees a lot of great players coming back late in the game. With that in mind our selections are a lot different then they would have been. Thats why there's only four "top dawgs" currently in play. Auba, kun, sanchez and Salah. Out of the three, I believe Salah, Kun and Auba could all hit the ground running. Sanchez, im not to sure. Don't think its worse owning all three, than it is punting on several out of: Sane, mahrez, martial, Mkhi, ramsey, tosun, Zaha, Arnie, Lamela, Jota, Sessegnon, Siggy, Keita, and so on.

Salah, Auba and Kun all come with the possibility of getting 50pts in the first 5gwks

Might seem to make sense but it just doesn’t work. My mini league ’rivals’ spread the cash and have a similar structure e.g going for Vardy and Firmino last year instead of Kane. But I just smash them every single year. Easily. Their little teams, with all their little players, chipping in with 5 points here, 6 points there, just can’t compete. Because Kane will just get back to back hatricks, or Aguero will get 8 goals in 3 games, and all the lesser players that I’ve ‘had’ to put in because of the premiums taking up all the money, will be keeping up nicely with the value players they’ve picked.

I can't seem to get away from a forward line of Auba, Firmino and Aguero, as wrong as that may be to you, it's what I'm gonna gamble with to start for now...

The very clever players rotate their premiums to try to catch their big hauls - Salah to Eriksen for the first doubles when Salah was injured, Kane to Aguero for those great 3 fixtures etc .... if you are lucky you squeeze more out of your 11m premium slots than the average season points - it’s not the number of points that a player gets in a season that is important, it’s the number of points the 11.0 m premium player gets when you actually own him 😉

Valid point there, i love premium defenders but for security reason I think better have two premium players who can be captain.

The forward slot, 11m that you mentioned is wise enough because:

1. Alternative captain, security.
2. Different row than Salah, easy to downgrade / change is some players in form.
3. The most type of player who can explode (Auba, Kun, and maybe Kane but he is 12.5).
4. Auba have a reasonable value for a great striker, not so far from prwmium defenders.

You sir are talking nonsense

Your correct team is only correct because you're not considering transfers/wildcards or anything else the game has to offer. If the game was to select 11 players for a season, setting a captain for a whole season and see the maximum points, you win with this finding value thing. Obviously not over a season.

Regarding having just one premium player for captaining.. What if one week salah plays at home against the weakest defence in the league and the next week it's Kane and then the next week is Aguero.. You'll be stuck capping salah for the next 2 gameweeks as well. Or you'll be constantly transferring In the only one premium player you want to captain that week?

I’d upgrade Ward and Daniels.

Don’t like the Richarlison pick sorry

Nope. Better attacking options from relatively weaker sides who won’t be rotated

Had some sort of injury. On the bench today, so second half maybe.

Kun

New manager, new defenders & dm, I dont think we are as bad at the back as we were under Wenger.. But yeah

Tipping Auba for the golden boot myself!

They don't have a Gerrard behind them, but I do expect them to have a good season and drag Arsenal back into the top 4.

For those starting with Kun and Firmino, the switch to Laca and Auba, when Kun starts to get rotated and Bobby’s fixtures turn, could be an out-of-the-box option.

Doubt he'll miss GW1. He barely get a min in WC and Brazil were out early, so enough time for a holiday imo

Ignore it, of all the WC players, he is likely to start - it’s just a reporter listing players that were at the WC, not Pep. Obviously may City players will miss GW1, but not the keeper imho

8. Missing a premium defender but then I guess it makes up for it up front!

Decent team. Vestergaard is an interesting pick but not a big fan of Daniels Ward and Cairney

Also, people should be looking at Martial > Lingard/Pogba too

Really like but is there better options ahead of Vest?

Lucas Digne really does look like he's on hiw way to Goodison - you may need a Baines-replacement.

4/10. 3 premiums have left you with weak players in the starting 11. This would be ok if you had other players on the bench you could rotate them with, which in my opinion you dont.

I don't think Ederson's a good pick personally. Better options. Salah's a great pick. Nice man utd defence coverage. But Arsenal attacker probably needed.

Key words for Deulofail:
- Salah
- Great
- Pick
- Man Utd
- Defence
- Attacker
- Arsenal
- Coverage

don't think anyone knows much about either tbh

most people have jota because others have. I myself had jota because people said he was OOP

Vardy on his way out though?

Although thanks for this information, it seems like maddison could be a very shrewd pick

Not sure he will be nailed early doors, he's a central player and Leicester have quite a few strikers vying for minutes as a pair up top

Very positive about Maddison. I watched the Leicester game yesterday and he was the best player on the pitch. Absolutely a no.10 (although defo on the midfielder-side of the spectrum) and will be an England international by March. He reminds me a bit of Marco Reus. It's just that I don't fancy Leicester generally right now and they're off to Old Trafford on GW1.

Norwich fan here and am pretty confident he can make the step up. Will consider him if hes fit to go but utd away as first fixture means I'll probably wait before bringing him in.

I've got 'em both

7

0/10 needs mo salah

Also Davies > Robbo

5
Midfield too weak. Maybe one of Martial/Willian but not both.

3/10. No salah and half of your team will be rotation risks once people are back from the world cup

4.5

Top heavy. But 6/10

The Stekmeister, set and forget 😉

Speroni?

Arnie for me, Mhki could be great value if he shows form though but that's a big if atm!

of course it could go the other way, it's 50/50 but for me the more interesting outcome would be a blank

Although I agree about the possible conversation about his value, I think that'll be more about whether he's worth 13.0 (with Aubameyang et all ready to start banging them in from GW3) rather than whether he'll drop. It's a shame it's such a faux pas to have these conversations about Salah, but thanks for giving it a bash.

I personally think it's unlikely he'll fall in price rapidly, if at all, though https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/07/17/the-best-budget-midfielders-to-buy-in-fpl-2018-19/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_18375374

Yup, could be fun when the Salahless teams come out of the woodwork. lol@Salah, lol@13.0, lol@essential
Would like to go Salahless but it doesn't seem worth the risk, he'll be playing in an even better LIV side this season. I commented earlier that there could be a fire sale come GW5 when LIV's fixtures stiffen if he doesn't perform! Interesting times in FPL 😉

As an owner I'd not be too unhappy if he blanked and everyone jumped ship with Palace and then Brighton (H) the next two fixtures!

I hope he does blank because i will hold for the inevitable explosion.

He isn't worth 13m.

He won't match his ppm from last season.

People are shite-ing themselves and committing to perm-cap a player without any information that isn't months old.

FPL will price fix him

Last year's FPL winner has posted his first draft...
https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/18393545

Salah, along with I guess 47% of the game. Another Liverpool player probably best if not, Aub/Aguero shouts but always nervous about the fixture difficulty.

You still have time to resurrect your season Big Andy by choosing Salah 😉

RIP

Salah. Aguero my vice

Salah. But I’m not overly keen on it.

Sanchez probably.

4.0 def a starter

4.5 mid as a winger too

anyone reckon Enobakhare could be a starter at 4.5?

Rui Patricio a damn good signing for them though.

lol that should end the jota punters on here

b-b-b-but Jota is OOP?!

Average player who went on a hot streak.

He's my turd striker

Wood >>> King imo

What’s your £ budget for entry ?

I have a tenner entry one if you're interested. Likely top 3 and then money back for 4th...

2 israelis and an iranian in one team. nice.

Afonso Alves mk2

Is this like Modern Family?

I’d downgrade Erikksen and go for someone like PVA over Tomkins and maybe downgrade Cedric to one the 4.0s

B

Well A is awful.

So B

68

7.5
Nice team considering it's a shoehorning Auba and Kun team.

Not too keen having two 4.5ers but I guess those are the sacrifices you have to make.
