Is Richarlison or Gylfi Sigurdsson better FPL value at £8.0m?

Arsenal's budget is about £50mil and Palace value Zaha £80-100mil. I can't see it happening

I don't get the fuss about Zaha. Yes nice price but i'm not sure he'll get as many pens now VAR will be checking every one. However he is the better choice of the two.

Thesis my dilemma. I keep switching between the two. Zara's reclassification as a MID means they would have scored almost identical last season.

I think Zaha has higher goal involvement for Palace so on him atm

If he goes to Arsenal ill be worried about his minutes

He was, but now plays in midfield, alongside Neves andis Moutinho

yea..plays cdm now though

He carried a real attacking threat over the last third of the season. Was unlucky not to score more. Hit the woodwork on several occasions. I think he could be good value as a rotation option.

Reply fail

Whoever partners VVD.

I think Coleman has to be the best bet at that price point especially with those starting fixtures

gomez

B then reasses after a few weeks.

He is playing RB, thus challenging El mohmady?

Nope

Yes if Klopp says “he is not in this charity shield game but he will start the first premier league game”

Yep

Last season was the first time he had scored in August after having this August 'curse'. He will have the summer off which should benefit him

get Moura for first 2 weeks then swap to Son

GW1 and GW38 are very unwise times to play BB as you don't know who the managers' are going to put on the pitch.

The first round of fixtures are grim

Until we find out who the bargain basement gems are there is no point playing BB. Unless you have a magic GW1 squad with all 15 playing then you need those 4.0/ 4.5 diamonds who make the BB worthwhile

Man City look like signing an upgrade to Walker

Coleman and Walker

D&Z atm only as they were/are more likely to start.

A by a West Country mile

A

A

A. More points potential.

Cameroon?

Gk's? Shame Etheridge isn't still around.

Great point. You need to have amazing luck to get even close to a full team of players who will each score in, say, the first 2-3 fixtures.

If you can hit the sweet spot early it's easier to hold then to chase because you can save vital FTs and soak up team value while everyone else sweats.

With that said, sometimes you need to know when to twist. It took me way too long to learn that the difference between King and Wilson last season was down to performance and not statistical variance!

Hey mate - good to have this place semi-active again!

How's your tinkering shaping up for GW1?

Yo. This is our year!!

Good to have you back mate. England to smash NZ? I can see it

Not a fan of rotating goalies, many times in the past the one on the bench scored more than the one with "easier" fixture.

Personally looking at Hugo Lloris as my set and forget option.

I really like Heaton and Ryan rotation..

It's OK. I would lose Brooks to a 4.5 and get another premium def (Laporte?)

Get City def from the off

Salah sterling/Kane teams look a bit poo to me. Not worth having both imo much happier without them in mine

Robbo and TAA have the best value out of all players this year. Can't image a draft without both of them in my team.

i'm surprised he is still at the club.

Narrow down your pool of 7m players that you have intrest in and then think who will score most over several opening fixtures.

So basically:

Robbo
TAA
Zaha
Maddison
Arnie
King
Deulo

i may start with Arnie
Question is whether you're confident of picking the right replacement when he inevitably gets injured. 7.0 and below strikers don't exactly inspire confidence.
A 7.0 mid gives you a choice between the likes of Maddison, Zaha, Brooks and Redmond
As for defenders, you'll likely set and forget

I have gone another route treble liverpool defence no Salah.
Arnautovic on the bench reasy for gw2.
West Ham fixtures look great.

He is in my draft as has talisman potential and hoping a lot put of him with opening fixture.

Core blimey, how much are your front three worth in total?

Yep too much money on the bench, that 2.5m to downgrade from Maddison to Dendoncker could land you either Vardy or Sterling for Deulo/KDB

its not a bad idea, i made a note end of last season to focus on a nailed def (4 at the back) and look at cheap rotations on my 4th, 5th mid and 3rd striker spot. those plans are out the window i feel now the prices are in as just not sure where the value is in the mid/strikers 5.5 and under. I guess i was hoping the likes of McNeil, Brooks, H.Barnes wouldn't get such big price increases.

It could work but I can to the conclusion its too much money each week on the bench.

Or you could put Maddison in your first 11. Down grade Coleman and upgrade Deulofeu to Jimenez?

Not gonna happen. at best he"ll get some minutes here or there

Nice team.
If I were picking holes I wouldn't be overly keen on Barkley (not necessarily nailer, limited attacking returns) or Jota (managed minutes, Europa League)

**2 of Smith, Diop and Ings with dendoncker a luxury 2 points whenever need be**

Not convinced Ings is nailed let alone worth £6m
Not convinced Wilson is worth £1.5m more than King, especially if Fraser leaves
I do like your rotation idea though, can certainly be worked with, a decent balanced team.

Between Gross, Redmond and Brooks for me. Those first 2 fixtures of Brooks are hard to turn down but it all depends if Fraser stays for me. With Redmond he has a few tough fixtures early so need to find a rotation player for him imo (Diop).
Gros is a very interesting prospect with a injury riddled season effecting his starting price. With Brighton looking to play more attacking its very enticing for me to pick Gros knowing everything pretty much runs through him. Brooks for first 2 gameweeks and then reassess.

BSilva,Siggy, Fraser, Zaha, Maddison, potential chelsea and manu mids and anderskn/lanzini.. Loving the 7 to 8 price bracket. Going to keep 2 spots for them and rotate based on form for a while by the looks of it

He is lucky to still be at West Ham. Will likely never play for us again is the 4th choice CB if that

Yeah, always liked him as an FPL option. Bit of a YC magnet due to his tough-tackling style, though. He will forever be a legend for me for getting 15 points off the bench for me away to Spurs a few seasons back. Thought I was destined for a one pointer after Luke Shaw (I think) no-show. Absolute ledge. Made my day at the time, that did. . . !

We can rule out snodgrass he won’t start regularly this season after fornals signing and yarmolenko being back fit again

Probably but it's a wait and see really. I've got decent hopes for Gomez considering his solidity and flexibility, I suspect he might start a few of the harder games at RB.

Fancy Gomez to majority of this season as I doubt they’ll want to starve him if game time and risk losing one of the top English talents. Pre season will tell. FPL wise the best would be Matip as he is a beat for BAPS, makes dribbles forwards for fun like Maguire and is a giant at set pieces. But Gomez probs.

Copa America and Europe factor for Jimmy.
Jesus been given the no. 9 at city has people flustered, also working long hours at Copa America this summer but I don’t see that affecting him too much like the World Cup didn’t last year

Jimenez is in my team. Bonkers value. Slight concern over the EL qualifiers but I dont think its that bad,

who does he play for and why? Expand please

dwight Gayle- gold? or Ricky van Wolfswinkel-gold?

because both were/are excellente
