Cheaper options star for Liverpool as Martial leads United attack

Alternative options to Liverpool’s key attackers are starting to emerge as pre-season continues to progress.

Jurgen Klopp remains without any member of his headline offensive trio this summer, potentially opening the door for cheaper options to come to the fore.

We assessed their performances in a recent draw with Sporting, while Manchester United, Spurs and Norwich were also in action.

Sporting 2-2 Liverpool

Origi is Liverpool’s top goal-scorer in pre-season

Goals: Divock Origi (£5.5m), Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m)

Assists: Jordan Henderson (£5.5m), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.5m)

Divock Origi‘s (£5.5m) chances of helping Fantasy managers enjoy a cheap route into Liverpool’s attack increased again after their latest friendly.

For the fifth time in pre-season, the Belgian led the Reds’ attack and against Sporting came away with his third goal of the summer.

Origi is now the top-scorer in pre-season for Liverpool, which puts him in a strong position for starts in the Community Shield and Gameweek 1 visit of Norwich City to Anfield.

Following appearances in their respective international tournament finals, Sadio Mané (£11.5m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) are very much touch and go for involvement at the start of the campaign.

The former has already been declared unavailable for the Community Shield and seems the least likely to be involved in Gameweek 1.

As things stand, no Liverpool centre-forward has played more pre-season minutes than Origi’s 272 so his chances of involvement are very high.

Mané’s potential absence and the late return of Firmino and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) does potentially open the door for some other cheaper options at Liverpool, if Klopp requires their services.

“Now we get back, hopefully, six players when we get home: Naby Keita should be ready to train hopefully, Shaqiri should be ready to train and then hopefully to play. Mo [Salah], Bobby [Firmino] and Ali [Alisson], and then a week later Sadio Mane as well. They are important players for us. So far, so good, but we have things to improve and we have to make sure we are ready for the start and then continue. That’s it.” – Jurgen Klopp

Oxlade-Chamberlain (right) started on the right flanks of attack against Sporting

Jurgen Klopp has largely played youngsters on the flanks of his attacking front-three so far in pre-season, but against Sporting it was Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.5m) who were deployed there.

The former had some experience playing in more advanced positions in the Champions League last season and showed in this latest friendly that he does have what it takes to provide attacking threat if called upon.

At times, Wijnaldum was the furthest forward for Liverpool and exhibited plenty of penalty box presence. That led to him scoring the second goal at the end of the first-half after a good run from Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Englishman did not drift into central areas quite as much as his Dutch colleague, but found himself space on the right flank and asked questions with his delivery.

Whether he gets a chance to start there in the Premier League is another question, of course, with Salah very much an untouchable in Liverpool’s team.

Furthermore, Oxlade-Chamberlain also came out of this latest pre-season friendly with a fitness problem so that is worth monitoring.

Either way, it is worth noting the options Klopp has to replace his key attackers, especially with the fixtures on the horizon and cheaper prices on offer.

“Two [starts] in a row with 60 minutes in both for Ox. That’s very important, very important. Today he was a bit unlucky. Ox has a bit of a calf problem, it’s not a tear or whatever, it’s just he has it from time to time when the intensity gets maybe a bit too high for him. But he had to go through the first 15 or 20 minutes. Ox was really involved in the game, he was really good and then he felt that and he could not really be part of the game anymore. Apart from that, [it’s been] really important. So far, he could make pretty much all sessions, which is unbelievably important. Very positive things.” – Jurgen Klopp

Also of note in the central midfield area was the performance of Jordan Henderson (£5.5m).

The England international moved into a more advanced role towards the back-end of 2018/19 and showed signs of that continuing against Sporting.

It was his penalty box presence that led to Origi’s goal. Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) operating from the comfort zone of the box’s left-hand edge, popped a ball in which Henderson headed at goal, the rebound falling to Origi, who tucked it away.

Such an action would have earned Henderson a Fantasy assist had the game been a Premier League one, and it was an involvement reminiscent of his new style of play in the latter Gameweeks of last season.

For that reason, it is worth keeping an eye on him in the remaining friendlies to see if he can offer a budget route into Liverpool’s attack.

Fantasy managers remain interested in the centre-back position at Liverpool, with three £5.5m options vying to play alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) there this season.

Against Sporting it was Joel Matip (£5.5m) who was given the nod, while Joe Gomez (£5.5m) came on as a substitute for Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) at right-back and Dejan Lovren (£5.5m) got 13 minutes.

Matip (left) and Gomez (right) are both vying for a place in the Liverpool team at centre-back

That leaves Matip top of the pile for pre-season minutes among the three (239) but Gomez is not far behind on 223.

That said, the latter has spent some time at right-back over the summer, although the bulk of his involvement for Liverpool in the friendlies has been at centre-back.

It means we will still have to wait for further confirmation about Klopp’s preferred second centre-back and whether Gomez will rotate with Alexander-Arnold.

Thankfully, we still have the games against Napoli and Lyon to come as well as the Community Shield final.

Liverpool fans and Fantasy managers alike may be hoping that Alisson (£6.0m) returns to the Liverpool goal as soon as possible after the latest friendly.

Despite producing a handful of impressive saves, Simon Mignolet (£4.5m) also suffered an embarrassing howler to allow Sporting to open the scoring.

Bruno Fernandes took a shot from range, which the goalkeeper shaped to collect comfortably, only for it to bounce off his cupped hands and into the net.

While Mignolet might present a budget way into the Liverpool defence in the unlikely event that Alisson is not ready for Gameweek 1 or gets injured, he probably remains a risk to the club’s clean sheet potential.

Finally, Jurgen Klopp also provided an update on the injured Nathaniel Clyne.

“It’s really a shame that it happened. It was a normal situation; we watched it back and Clyney himself thought it was a knock, nothing else. That’s how it felt in the first place. Of all the injuries you can get, an ACL is always the one you don’t want to have, but if you get an ACL then he has the best one, to be honest. It’s isolated, it’s only ACL, it’s not 100 per cent ruptured but still needs surgery. That will all take time. But half a year is another half a year to show up again, so I don’t think it will have a big influence on Clyney’s career. But of course it’s not a very good moment for a player and for us it’s not a good moment as well. You can prepare as much as you want, there are always problems you cannot prepare for and this is one of them.” – Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Mignolet; Robertson (Kent 62′), van Dijk (Lovren 77′), Matip (van den Berg 89′), Alexander-Arnold (Gomez 62′); Milner, Fabinho, Henderson (Brewster 77′); Wijnaldum (Lallana 76′), Origi (C Jones 77′), Oxlade-Chamberlain (Wilson 62′).

Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United

Martial (left) led the line for Manchester United against Spurs

Goals: Lucas Moura (£7.5m) | Anthony Martial (£7.5m), Angel Gomes (£5.0m)

Assists: Son Heung-min (£9.5m) | Andreas Pereira (£5.0m), Juan Mata (£6.5m)

Anthony Martial (£7.5m) was given a second consecutive opportunity to lead Manchester United’s attack as they played Spurs on Thursday.

The Frenchman spearheaded a 4-2-3-1 formation for the third time this season, having two previous 45-minute spells there.

After contributing little on the first occasion and scoring a penalty on the second, this time Martial looked in good shape, making dangerous runs behind Spurs’ defenders, hitting the post and notching his first open play goal of pre-season.

Receiving a perfectly weighted through-ball from Andreas Pereira (£5.0m), he bore down on goal from a slightly wide angle but still managed to squeeze it under Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m).

The Frenchman does face serious competition for the centre-forward berth though with Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) registering the same number of pre-season minutes as him so far (197).

Mason Greenwood (£4.5m), who has also been in the conversation, was deployed on the right-wing against Spurs demonstrating Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is open to the possibility of using him in multiple positions. That may be of some encouragement Fantasy managers who are looking to own Greenwood for his budget price.

Daniel James was a much-fouled player for Man United against Spurs

Daniel James (£6.0m) continues to cause the opposition problems on his left flank of attacking midfield. Spurs’ midfielders were particularly keen on targetting the former Swansea man and he was one of the most fouled players in the game.

James is still in the clutch of players tied top of pre-season minutes with 197. As he continues to be involved for United throughout the summer, his potential as a punt in Gameweek 1 could pay off.

Meanwhile, it was something of an anonymous performance from Paul Pogba (£8.5m) who went largely unnoticed during his 45-minute spell.

He got everyone off their seats later in the second half with a powerful shot from range which went wide, but apart from that, he did not feature too heavily in Manchester United attacks.

In spit of how quiet Pogba was, the Red Devils were arguably the better team, especially going forward. That’s not to take anything away from Spurs but Solskjaer’s side did spend plenty of time on the front foot.

However, United did look a little exposed on the counter-attack at times. David de Gea (£5.5m) was called into action in the first half when Spurs outnumbered the defence and Dele Alli (£8.5m) found space to shoot.

There was also poor defending for Spurs’ goal as Lucas Moura (£7.5m) stayed one step ahead of Manchester United.

Moura has been involved in more goals than any other Spurs player in pre-season so far

The ball was on its way out of the box and the Red Devils’ defenders were in poor shape as they moved away from their goal, allowing Moura to pounce early and wrong-foot the goalkeeper.

The Brazilian was one of Spurs’ most exciting players after he came on at half-time. He made some good run in behind defenders and now has two goals in as many pre-season matches.

With Son Heung-min (£9.5m) suspended until Gameweek 3, Moura will fancy his chances of starting the first two matches, and if he is deployed as a centre-forward alongside Harry Kane (£11.0m) in Mauricio Pochettino’s system, he could be a great cheaper alternative.

In just his second appearance for Spurs, new signing Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) demonstrated again what he can bring to the club this season. On more than one occasion he made exciting driving runs into the box, his pace and physicality asking a lot of questions.

Finally, there was a bad injury for Manchester United as Eric Bailly (£5.0m) was taken off with a knee problem during the match.

He was then pictured in a knee-brace and a wheelchair when the Red Devils’ returned from their pre-season tour.

“We’ve got to do some scans and checks on him. It doesn’t look great.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-1-2): Gazzaniga; Georgiou (White 62′), Vertonghen (Alderweireld 46′), Tanganga (Marsh 70′), Walker-Peters (Foyth 46′); Ndombele (Moura 46′), Winks (Skipp 46′), Sissoko (Eriksen 62′); Alli (Roles 62′); Kane (Son 46′), Parrott (Lamela 46′).

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (Romero 46′); Young (Shaw 46′), Rojo (Lindelöf 46′), Smalling (Bailly 46′ | Tuanzebe 56′), Wan-Bissaka (Dalot 46′); McTominay (Matic 46′), Pogba (Fred 46′); D James (A Gomes 46′), A Pereira (Mata 46′); Greenwood (Lingard 46′); Martial (Rashford 46′).

Norwich City 1-3 Brentford

Farke was left disappointed with Norwich’s performance against Brentford

Goals: Emiliano Buendía (£6.0m)

Assists: Onel Hernandez (£5.5m)

Fantasy managers were handed another clue about Norwich’s clean sheet potential as they lost 3-1 to Brentford this week.

With Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) absent, the Canaries admittedly started the game brightly but looked a little uncertain on the counter.

Left-winger Onel Hernandez (£5.5m) continued to look sharp with a busy first-half as he set up Emiliano Buendía (£6.0m) for a goal from range, and had a couple of chances himself.

The midfielder’s best opportunity saw him run down the right flank, get around Brentford’s goalkeeper and shoot, pulling the ball just outside the post from a wide angle.

However, the second-half was dominated by Brentford, who took the lead after a mistake from Ben Godfrey (£4.5m).

A sloppy take-down allowed Brentford to win the ball in a dangerous area, and it was all too easy for Ollie Watkins to convert from close-range.

There was then poor marking from a subsequent set-piece to allow Brentford a third.

Admittedly, this was the first pre-season appearance for Timm Klose (£4.5m) at centre-back, who may not be up to scratch just yet.

Furthermore, there were rests for players who got extensive minutes on tour including Grant Hanley (£4.0m), Jamal Lewis (£4.5m) and Max Aarons (£4.5m).

“He looked good. It’s great to have Timm back. It was also good to have Josip [Drmic] back after he missed a week. It was also good for Sam Byram to get more minutes. Several lads who had lots of minutes in Germany were rested like Grant Hanley, Jamal Lewis and Max Aarons.” – Daniel Farke

Furthermore, Daniel Farke made an interesting comment about Brentford’s current status. Their competitive season starts a week before the Premier League, which is possibly why they looked the better side, especially in the second half.

“We knew Brentford are a good Championship side and for that, it was clear even before the game they were desperate to come here and they were pretty close to the start [of their season].” – Daniel Farke

“In the second half, we played more or less in their half but sadly one time we missed the ball and they were there with a counter and scored the [second] goal. We then conceded from a free-kick in the wide area and we missed a few chances.” – Daniel Farke

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Fahrmann (Krul 46′); Heise (Lewis 75′), Klose (Hanley 66′), Godfrey, Byram (Aarons 75′); Leitner (Roberts 75′), McLean (Trybull 75′); Hernandez (Cantwell 75′), Srbeny, Beundía (Idah 75′); Drmic (Stiepermann 46′)

    Dont see alot of teams with Jimenez?

    181 points last season.
    Played all 38 games.
    Sharing pens with Neves
    Gold Cup MVP and well rested
    and with Jota in form beside him.

    That EL thing shouldnt scare people away as alot of teams have Jota and Wolves have a better squad depth than say Burnley did.
    Thoughts?

    1. Navispar
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe waiting for Wolves fixtures to turn more favourable.

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cos everyone is getting excited about pre-season now. And Jiminez hasn't scored yet. I'm sure we'll see him a bit more in a weeks time. I'm interested in him

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jota has a higher FPL goal Involvement than Jimenez.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Deduct point for Jota goals and CS last season and he finishes well behind Jimenez points

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Probably. Jimenez started 7 more games so he's likely to be ahead on points either way.

          1. RedLightning

            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Jota was also well behind Jimenez on points per game (3.6 to 4.8 after adjusting for his positional reclassification).

              *3.8 to 4.8.

    4. Marmalade Forest

      Just spitballing ideas:

      1) People are seeing certain defenders score more points over the course of the season and cost less money, so they pump money into defences.

      I think we forget during the off season that FPL isn’t about finding the best 11 over the course of the season and it’s about having the right players for the purple patches that they hit.

      2)Second season syndrome

      3)EL and Burnley last year

      4) Prefer Jota + 1m instead

      1. Navispar
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely this.

    5. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      As you said he played all 38 games, his points per game isn't actually particularly high. Also it is tough to predict the games that he will score points in. He was a great set and forget option last year because he was so cheap. I'd rather someone like Wilson who scores more predictably and has higher PPG.

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Forget both. They gave European commitments. Get Villa Jota and Wesley both 6m

      1. Navispar
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Is Wesley the dread pirate Roberts?

      2. Whiskerz

        What makes the villa boys good picks?

          He supports them. Things that 3 Villains will win him fpl. Avoid until we know what they can do.

          1. Sterling Malory

              • 10 Years

              No I think we'll score lots of goals and at least finish mid table

    7. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez has 36% ownership. He’s just not in the redundant templates you see everyone on this site posting.

  2. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    With VAR incoming and the expected increase in Penalties, has anyone got a list of the 1st penalty takers for each team?

    1. IRBOX ⚽

      Set piece takers last updated 18th June. Surely many teams have changed with new signings?

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unless Lascelles stops his shirt pulling at corners, I think Newcastle will concede quite a few more penalties this season.

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Their won't be an increase. It levels out based on existing data

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Existing data from the Premier League?

        One thing data can't tell us is how/if they will play differently knowing VAR is in use.

        Yea sure then why are the bookies predicting more than a 20% increase?

      Not as simple as that. There will just be as many pens overturned with VAR .

    6. George Sillett
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No expected increase in penalties based on previous trials elsewhere. I think that defenders and forwards will be less inclined to cheat especially if a card is the punishment.

    Is Nick Pope nailed on for Burnley? Didn’t play last season and with competition from Heaton and Hart.

      They theories are Heaton is on the way out not signing a new contract and talking with Villa.

      The facts are Joe Hart is plop.

            dammit, you're meant to say "no, it was a dislocated shoulder injury... I checked", so I could reply, "well a shoulder injury is a crucial ligament for a keeper!". But you ruined it.

    VAR gets mentioned in terms of penalties scored, how about penalties saved?

    Pickford saved 3 last season without VAR awarding decisions.

        Exactly

    2. SADIO SANÉ

      yeah, don't think Everton will get as many CSs but he is good at saving them, new SHU keeper is too apparently

    Eyez on dat Big guy tomorrow 😉

  7. chilli con kone

    Best 6.0 forward to start the season with?

    A. Sharp
    B. Wesley
    C. DCL

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I see only one clear candidate there

      1. chilli con kone
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Haha do go on...

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wesley

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Saw your team. Think we drunk from the same bottle... stop fuffing with .5... team is ready

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        As it stands anyway. All changes if Everton sign a striker

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not much optimism at 6m but DCL is in the better team.

      1. chilli con kone
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I want it to be DCL just not sure he’s got goals in him even when Everton look more dangerous

      2. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Dat guy will surprise many. Scouting is required. He ain't kicking for Everton though

    5. TONEY HONEY
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wesley

    6. chilli con kone
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I know he’s getting on a bit but Sharp has 3 great fixtures first up for a guy who has scored a lot of goals against championship level defenders

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'm a blade, so biased.

        But Sharp will score, he always scores.

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes... He will

  8. Kloppcorn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any advice on this team will be a big help,
    Ederson (Button)
    VVD TAA Coleman (Taylor)(Lundstram)
    Salah Sterling Pogba Perez Moutinho
    King Jota (Greenwood)

    1. Kloppcorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking of possibly downgrading Ederson to upgrade Moutinho

    2. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Two Wolves a bit risky with Europa League exploits to come?

      1. Kloppcorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Good point mate deffo gonna look to try change Moutinho before the season starts

    3. chilli con kone
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think Pogba is a little expensive with his fixtures

      Downgrade and use the cash elsewhere. Moutinho Isn’t good enough for a first 11

      1. Kloppcorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        If martial proves to be a starter I could do pogba to martial, downgrade Ederson to a 4.5 then upgrade Moutinho to an 8.0

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Looking for a midfielder to fit in as an enabler to a max prize of 5.5, anyone seen anything during pre season worth considering? C. Robinson currently in the team!

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ceballos

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Surely going to come in at a lot more than 5.5

        1. Angelic upstart
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He's 5.5

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Sorry, didn’t realise he’d already been added - completely agree in that case though ideally would want to see him start a few games initially. Bit of a punt but best of the sub 6.0’s

            1. Angelic upstart
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Agreed, but not many half decent mids at that price. I think Barkley and Mount may be good, but playing the waiting game on all Chelsea players

      2. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Watched him many times. A good squad player

    2. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering a punt on Ceballos

      1. KujaliaFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Could be the next Ramsey.

        1. Michael Gary Scott
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          A bit different form Ramsey as he doesn't run a lot in to the box. Thinking he can play the part Cazorla did.

      2. Michael Gary Scott
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Arsenal fan myself, but think and hope we will play a bit deeper in midfield. Might get the odd assist and set piece chances. But maybe not a bad punt at 5.5.

        1. el polako
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          With Xhaka, Guendozi and Torreira I would expect young spaniard to play further up the pitch.

          1. Michael Gary Scott
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Versatile as he is, he might off course. Hoping he will play in a Cazorla-role. Knocking out Xhaka, or Guendouzi.

    3. Warby84
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Moutinho

      1. Michael Gary Scott
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        On set pieces at least!

    4. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Options really limited in midfield below 6 imo - think Pereyra’s the cheapest I’d be happy with as a regular starter

      1. Michael Gary Scott
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agree. Usually the way I start a season, works well for me, makes room for my preferred big guns.

    5. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      Bring back Shaun Maloney

    Thoughts on this

    Fabianski.
    TAA, Robertson, Zinchenko Coleman.
    Salah, Sterling, Fraser, Gross.
    Wilson, Wood.

    Button, Lundstrom, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I like it. I'm concerned by TAA's minutes though now Gomez is back

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 8 Years

  12. Jimmy Boy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is Pedro too outrageous of a punt? As far as I can remember his best spells in the Premier League have come early on in the season, similar to Richarlison. Getting plenty of minutes for Chelsea in pre-season too.

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No, like you said it’s a punt but as punts go a decent one. 10 attacking returns last year in very limited mins and he should start the season

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Going to be some gems in the that Chelsea team for those prices. Wouldn’t mind betting he’s potentially one of them

    3. Seamus Goalman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Is pulisic not a problem?

  13. JIMMY TUGGINS

    Wow, looks like Bale is actually going to China, he's gonna end up having had a very strange career.

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Kind of sad really

    2. Moxon

      Sad for all. Except Bale's bank account of course

    3. barracuda

      5 years, 3 months ago

      His accountant vehemently disagrees

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years

      Good, but not quite great. No one can take away those medals at Real Madrid.

    5. Warby84
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Shame he’s just in it for the money..

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I think he'd rather go somewhere else.

        But no one else actually wants him.

    6. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rumor has it that despite all these years in Madrid he cant speak Spanish and therefore he is more intrested in playing golf than socialiazing with his team mates.

  14. Emiliano Sala

      Could be, he is in

    2. George Sillett

      Almost as pointless as a "What's your favourite number?" question.

        Lucky number 7 for me mate.

            Chill mate, he didnt ask anything unusual. Try to swallow .5 in pronto and all will be lighter again.

            1. George Sillett
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Too old to change my ways. It's always better to speak your mind in the long run.

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 3 months ago

    What are views on Ceballos. Are you thinking of getting in for good opening 2 fixtures or a wait and see until week 8 when Arsenal start good run of fixtures? Was thinking of getting in as 5th defender who could rotate over first 7 weeks with Zouma (assuming he starts at Chelsea)- just bit of a differential. Other option of Digne Dendoncker probably safer!

    Pope
    TAA Laporte Van Dijk
    Salah Sterling Pérez Moura Ceballos
    Wilson Wesley

    Woodman Zouma Greenwood Lundstram

    or

    TAA Digne AWB

      The latter

  17. YEAH PITCH!

    1. socho
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Due to lack of other options I would say you need 2

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Almost everyone that’s even half decent is going to have 2. Having just 1 is almost like betting against Pool defence.

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lol big claim

        1. Poseidon.
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure it is. I think it’s reflected in their ownerships on the fpl site and can clearly be seen on all the RMTs on here. Not saying it’s wrong to bet against them or a bad tactic or anything - just saying that with 1 - even if they perform you’re probably getting left behind

          1. YEAH PITCH!
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'd rather have them two than one of them with VVD.

        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hi buddy! Long time no see.

        Summers been awesome, but not liking this heat!

        How’s things going and how’s your draft?

        I’ve been sucked into the twitter world so need to get into the habit of visiting here more often

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Also dying from this heat, my team is mostly sorted actually, 442 and main thing is deciding between Vardy or Wilson and then what to do with the cash if the latter, how's yours? I do use twitter but not for anything FPL related, like to limit different interests/obsessions to separate places.

          1. Richd
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah makes total sense. I’ve gone for a purely FPL account as don’t wanna mix personal life with fpl !

            Is it heavy at the back your 442?

            I’m on 541 and going for No Salah once again. I will never learn 😀

                5 years, 3 months ago

                Managed top 5k last year and barely owned.

                Maybe I’d have won if that’s how the game worked.

                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Owning the guy with the most points may be the most fundamental of picks...

                  1. Richd
                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    He was barely ahead of sterling for more cash tho mate. It’s about squad building.

                    1. DeathoftheParty
                      • 8 Years

            2. JIMMY TUGGINS
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Mostly template tbh. Ryan or Pope, double Liv, Digne or Coleman and Zinchenko for the back. Sterling and Salah, Wilson or Vardy then fill in rest. I'm closer to TCing Salah first game than not having him, lol. Don't think I could do 541 even if it makes the most sense, 442 feels painful enough.

              1. Richd
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                All the options are template this time of year.

                Here’s mine :

                Ederson
                TAA VVD Robbo Laporte Digne

                  I like it a lot actually, please be nice when City keep a CS and Zinchenko is on the bench. I had Daniel James from the very start until recently, think he could be awesome value if he starts at 6m but worried he'll be an impact sub at the beginning.

                  This is what I'm on atm but will probably end up putting Vardy back in so who knows.

                  Pope
                  TAA Robbo Coleman Zinchenko
                  Salah Sterling Fraser Martial(if I think he's starting as striker)

                    Only two United ? 😉

                    I like most of it. Zinc scares me a bit.

                    I love Pope. It was only because I downgraded KDB I ended up with Ederson.

                    Wesley is one I’m firmly monitoring. 6.0 could be a steal.

                    I really like it mate ! Good job

    I plan to wildcard GW3 team and settled with this for first 2GWs:

    Henderson
    TAA-VVD-Digne-Kelly
    Salah-Fraser-Gross-Perez
    Auba-Kane

      Not a fan of, the early WC could be saved, back to the drawing board in my opinion.

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. Early WC is a waste. How many times seasons past were people let down by "certainty fixtures". Horrible excuse for the 1 WC you get for half the season

      1. Ask Yourself

        Every year is different. Especially the one with a poo template

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'm not interested in the FFS templates

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            What ur draft

  20. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Boy oh boy, if this happens...

    ---Xhaka Torreria
    Ozil Ceballos Pepe
    --Aubameyang

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lacazette?

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Depends what Emery want each match. Sometimes, he could play Xhaka and Ceballos with Pepe Ozil Auba behind Lacazette

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Why Ozil all of a sudden?

          He couldn’t even get in the team last year?

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            This is just my opinion. Ozil is still class, if he has 2 pacy scorers like Pepe and Auba to feed, and intelligent passers like Xhaka and Ceballos to link with, he'll have a good season.

    2. socho
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I wonder if Ceballos will actually be nailed...he is not a number 10

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He's can play as an 8 or a 10. Would be useful in tougher games for him to play advanced as he'll contribute defensively.

    3. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty sure Napoli have had an offer of 70m’ish accepted for Pepe. Arsenal won’t even pay for of his arms.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Napoli can't compete in terms of wages/agent fees

        1. Poseidon.
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          With Arsenal? If they’ve offered 70m then it seems like they can.

      2. Seamus Goalman
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lille president said they'd received 4 acceptable offers but could just be talk, Napoli seem to be favourites and I can't see arsenal paying that kind of fee

        1. Seamus Goalman
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Arsenal seem to have made an improved bid to the club and the player, would stick a spanner in the works anywhere below 10.5m imo

          1. Seamus Goalman
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Now 1/12, holy moly

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      that is worse than what it would be now

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What are you talking about?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          well Lacazette isn't there for a start and Ozil is being played out of position

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            So you would rather Auba play out of position? Ozil would play as an inside right winger, with Bellerin over lapping.

            1. Dthinger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Bellerin!? When is he even expected to return?

              1. Drip Doctor
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                September

            2. SADIO SANÉ
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              yes,
              Lacazette
              Iwobi Ozil Auba
              is better than that, but we'll see

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be confident of Villa winning vs that lineup

  21. Emiliano Sala
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Better captaincy option?
    A) Sterling vs westham A
    B) Kane vs asron villa H

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B for me.

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A based on his record v WHU and I think Villa might do better than perhaps expected

  22. Seamus Goalman
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Zouma nailed?

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If you have to ask then no

      1. Seamus Goalman
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Potentially, although I havent kept up with their preseason at all just wondering

  23. CFC1990
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    a) Jorginho and Vardy

    or

    b) Fraser and Jota?

    1. Lebowski85
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

  24. CFC1990
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How about Kolasnic?

    Might be an idea for first two and then swap to whoever holds down the left back role for City. Spurs out of the way then too

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I had him last season and not repeating the same error again

  25. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane nailed?

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Only if we can't convince Crouch to come back.

    2. Seamus Goalman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rotated with Parrott and Llorente methinks

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Playing number 8 for 60.

  26. Emiliano Sala
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Worst team you have seen?
    RMT
    Pope
    Robbo TAA VVD Laporte Digne
    Sterling Perez
    Kane Vardy Jota

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It's only the fear of salah vs norwich. After that I'm relax

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          So what, you will bridge his outcome in the long run

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I've considered gw2 WC lol

        2. Richd
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I’m going no Salah too mate. Our teams are pretty similar.

          The defenders can cover Salah I hope.

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            You know, a captained salah gets 2 cs points
            Only 2 cs points less than a liverpool defender.
            But really can't go without kane as spurs got great long term fixtures
            But without salah we have another decent defender
            How is your team atm?

            1. Richd
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              A captained TAA gets 8 CS points 😉

              Gotta go without fear I’d say

              Ederson
              TAA VVD Robbo Laporte Digne
              Sterling Brooks Fraser Gross
              Kane

              4.0 Dendonker Greenwood 4.5 striker

              Although I’ll captain Kane I’d say

              1. Emiliano Sala
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Decent team. Really looks strong with ederson at goal
                I prefer perez over brooks. Whatever
                Are you 100% going salahless? Or haven't decided yet?

                I think sterling is better as are pretty sure he will start and play 90 minutes first game! And no Son is bad for kane imo

                1. Richd
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  I like the look of Perez but he can wait a couple of weeks. See how he fits in at Leicester.

                  Yeah I can’t see me going for Salah. It’s a bit scary but like you say Sterling I see as essential and I like what the extra funds do for the overall squad. The whole first XI I’m happy with, no weaker links needed.

                  1. Emiliano Sala
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    Salah at RW had much fewer returns before those hudds and cardiff game. Most of his goals were when he played as CF.
                    Let's hope klopp keep on playing him on RW
                    Your team looks great. But I have a suggestion, get vardy and swap to Son after 4 weeks. 3 great fixtures in 4

    2. gaurava1216

      7/10

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Will Jota be rotated/subbed off a lot with the Europa League schedule hanging over Wolves?

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Here we go

      Yes

    2. Richd
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      All the Wolves assets make me nervous for that reason, and they have awful fixtures

      It’s an easy avoid for GW1 for me.

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Same here.

      2. The Royal Robin
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I get that. Jota is probably better later on in the season I guess. The quality is there though.

        1. Richd
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Oh. The guys a FPL god for sure. It’s just that European schedule with a wafer thin squad and poor opening fixtures.

          It gives us a nice breather where we don’t have to think about Wolves.

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            +1

            The fact that Royal Robin still gets these sorts of answers is testament to this community.

  28. Seamus Goalman
