Why it’s hard to trust Arsenal assets in 2019/20

People woke up to Sterling being better

Is Jesus good enough reason?

I'm going Kun over Sterling. But getting KdB also. Nice differential yet possibly to my detriment (as usual)

so expensive..G.Jesus and Sterling.

A by an absolute mile.

I usually favour 3-5-2 but I'm starting this season with a 442 with 3 set defenders 2 rotating

I’m beginning to rethink Kane to start.

Don’t buy into the August curse rather it’s the lack of Son that might sway it. He goes really well with him - matches Sterling. But Kane Lucas is flop.

the problem obviously comes when a 6.5 mid or Vardy starts going big, assuming patience is pretty hard to keep in those situations?

B. Although I will certainly start the season with Digne + TAA + VVD/Robbo.

I’d compromise elsewhere.

digne + TAA and find the 0.5 elsewhere imo

Hello, welcome back

Wow. That’s the year I was born.

Apologies... but... what have you been doing?!!

Vardy too expensive given the fixtures imo. Defence is a worry. Salahless is a slight worry too.

Getting closer.. but so many uncertainties still. Transfers, Mendy etc.

Awful.
The difference seems to be that everyone on here seems happy with just Salah and Sterling...but I want Kane too, which means my defence suffers in comparison.

I just can't see past the value in Kane.

Staying fairly the same barring three changes here and there.
I started looking ahead at gw5 on to see can I get my price points right (for roughly moving towards options)
Looking at the potential of Lacazette gw6 onwards for example.
How to get Chelsea lads in as well maybe Leicester/West Ham and the defensive bargains.
I think it is important to play fpl like snooker and have rough plans leaving a pattern of options.
You don't want just one needs to be flexible.

Incredibly similar to mine.

I like it.

Sweet, I have very similar.
Only difference is I have Vardy + KDB instead of Deulofeu + Sterling.

Very good.. as you said Walker should be Mendy if Mendy starts Community Shield

Giroud im not so confident in.. Will he share time with Abraham? He could be a hit and a miss. Not a big fan of Chelseas fixtures. Besides that very tasty ofc

Nicely balanced.

Can't Imagine Zinchencko starting.. you could opt for DCL. Got praise from his Coach. But I do not see the appeal in him besides fixtures. Maybe he has done great in training sessions who knows.

Personally not a fan of B.Silva, but looks good overall

Looks good to me.

Yes imo. Bilva assitting the assister, Sterling grabbing the goals

Because its so close to my draft i wondered how you fitted them all in until i realised the team value is 104 million , just saying 🙂

Nothing wrong with 5-3-2. Nice team. Who are the keepers?

Everton double up defensively is a tad to much imo

Stick with that, very nice.

Always use your brothers money first. Good call

Oh and hopefully you mean Copa America and not AFCON

Backed Brazil to win the Copa America 2019 before the tournament began. They were favourites, but looked good value at their price.

I think Siggy over Rich is an obvious switch due to set pieces and Rich likely Wide not up top.

Good balance and nice to see Aguero over Sterling which makes the price points easy for transfers.

Good team with nice flexibility

Excellent, Apart from Ederson for Ryan, I wouldn't change a thing. Unless in the Community Shield Zinky plays instead of Mendy, in which case you've saved yourself a further 0.5

Every year I tinker and change my draft squad daily, but this time I'm already sorted, with maybe just one midfield spot open for negotiation.

Everything looks good apart from the big doubts over Mendy considering Dendoncker if first on your bench.

I like it to be honest.
Similar to mine except I went 4-3-3 gw1
KDB instead of sterling and have Wilson up front as well.
Treble liverpool defence is the way to go for the first five gameweeks.
You need to plan a rough exit strategy though after that.

I have got Coleman as well instead of Digne he saves the .5 and starts.

Really like this.
As per my post above it has my three non-negotiable players (Kane, Zaha, and Digne)...and also Sterling.
Good work!

I don't like any of them. Sorry.

So basically you are downgrading three players to afford Sterling. I think he isn't worth it. Especially as Salah/Mane are better captaincy options in the first two fixtures.

So A

B,
Laporte=Walker, Jimenez=Jota, so basically you are downgrading a gk for a masive upgrade from Bilva to Sterling, great option!

Siggy. No question. Bilva plays much deeper and isn't on pens or set pieces. I think if KDB stays fit it hurts Bilva's attacking output.

Siggy

Zaha likely to get the assists for Mili’s penalties, without the risk of having minus points for missed penalties.

Zaha is also a bigger threat throughout the game.

The only thing with pens is that I have no idea why Man city don't get more pens than they do. This was the reason I went with Aguero through most of last year, but they got so few.

i have 4 lol

I was going to argue it’s because LFC, City and Everton players are priced so highly and desired early on...

but then again no Chelsea player costs more than 7.5m, no United player costs more than 8.5m and even Kane had a price cut.

I'm quite sure I'll have a Chelsea player once pre-season tells us which way the manager is going to go, in terms of personnel.

Same with United, if Sanchez, James, or Martial perform well in preseason and nail down a place, I can see people swapping the likes of Sigurdsson/Maddison etc for one of them.

I have Kane from Spurs, and considering Rose/Trippier.

Good point

I’m guessing nearly all teams have double Everton - seems fishy to me. I’m sensing a recency bias based on the last 10 games of last season.

It is a bit weird but easily understandable:
MAN UTD - good options like Pogba and Rashford are overpriced, defense not intresting due to small attacking potential
CHELSEA - uncertainty over how the squad will look like under Lampard, and how the team will fuction without Eden, defense could be good Azpil and Luiz players to consider but 6.0 is steep
ARSENAL - god no, Lacazette or Kolasinac could be good once they get LIV and Spurs games out of the way but way overpriced players and all prone to rotation, Emery is the new Pep
SPURS - Son not playing, Eriksen and Alli overpriced, Lucas good option but only for first two gameweeks, only Kane is intresting but people seem to prefer Sterling as their second big gun due to 'August curse' and past season form

Also teams like BOU and EVE have amazing fixtures and historically good attacking returns and nicely priced players leaning more people to go that way, also Zaha repositioning hype is huge

Differentials everywhere it hurts my eyes.

Ozil!!!!!
What with "(m)ane? Is he Mane/Sane/Kane?

Salah - good value.

Mane - AFCON, like the WC proved last year, has little to no effect.

Rich - should be set piece Siggy.

Firmino - Better LFC options out there. Serial underdeliverer.

Moura - good for the opener until Son is back. An xfer waiting to happen.

Shouldn't they be on coconut milk?

Anything that means I don’t have to be killed for meat would be appreciated

Less calories, sugars, and carbs in Almond milk. Seems like something that's important to people looking to gain Instagram followers.

I see Jota, Deulofeu and DCL in a lot of squads.

benteke ,shame hes crap

Over the season, Jota.

For the first few games, probably DCL.

It'll be interesting to see what Abraham comes in at.

Also, preseason will change everything so don't spend too much time thinking about it, like I have.

There's one flying so far under the radar not a single post has mentioned him.
Break-out season, only 5.5m. I give you ..... Phil Foden.

completely agree regards Kane. he's somewhat flying under the radar what with all this Sterling/Salah axis.

Kane will do in this upcoming season, what Soldado did in 2013.

You absolutely cannot trust Kane with the armband, I've been let down by him so many times in recent seasons I'm almost averse to ever having him back in my team at all on principal.
