The headline FPL team news from Thursday’s press conferences

I think so, Hanley probably starts tomorrow and maybe Kelly for 1 week

Lundstram imo

*Should* be good for GW1 but could find himself 3rd choice left back a few weeks from now. The fans don't like him. They love Daniels. Kelly #1 is injured.

Check out Bournemouth fan forums. Not looking good. 50/50 he plays. Kelly more likely to start but probably not for very long.

Yep Lund is dead

Either way it’s 5th defender which you’ll probably never need right?

Any thoughts on Gibson (Burnley)?

looks good but both those moves look a good idea, though I do prefer 343 (how passe)

Walker-Pieters is just pointless.

Worse

No. It's worse than that.

A wildcard for gw2. No sleep for you my lad.

Blimey. Punty McPuntface.

Haha thanks lads, nice dose of brutal honesty.
I'm setting up with only one player from each team though, so I am somewhat limited.

man really it is

I think a Mings is great punt but I have to go with Heaton/Pope. Pereira could be gold

Could work after a couple of games but right now I wouldn't go with that.
Talking about Doherty, Pereira, and Kean.

It seems you'll have a busy night...

Nope

As good as any really

I think so. Who’s Ben Mee got?

by miles

Been the best performer in pre season of their defenders

Have TAA and Robbo and you're scaring me...

C

I've changed my mind and Mings is best option. 2 goals in 15 last season and unlucky not to score vs Leipzig

Guilbert for me!

A

Really like the Siggy pick.
Team looks solid, bud. Only concern with 3 MCI is Pep's rotation, which I'm not sure your bench can handle.
Your XI look relatively nailed though 🙂

That’s a wait and see. I want Cancelo, but that’s also a wait and see

I wouldn't, I don't think he's a guaranteed starter - Bernard was excellent towards the end of last season.

I think can afford to wait. I have fraser who I can easily switch out to

Like him but imagine he may not start

worse underlying stats than barkley who is now further forward and on pens

If you think you’ll wildcard early (gw5) it’s Ryan. Fixtures.

A

B

Hard B. Based on both fixtures and personal skill. Still rate Almiron however.

A for sure

Would use the funds elsewhere really. Don't like Stones tbh. Also, why not Pope over Heaton?

Keep it. It’ll come in handy.

A

I like KWP + the extra cash, for GW1 at least. Depends what you do with the funds and if you have a plan to get off of KWP when he isn't starting

A, Trossard

Almost the same team except Heaton- Button and Rico- Diop. Thinking about upgrading Rico.

A

A

That settles ti then haha! Cheers guys.

B probably has a higher ceiling week by week, but I'm going A, more dependable I think.

got B myself

A for me

I wanna go B, but I'll end up with A.

C.

Look at those beautiful fixtures, should be plenty of goals

A for me regardless of price

Thanks very much guys for your answers.

C if you can afford it, A if you need that 0.5m.

C

anyone?

A

b all day

Like it, similar to mine, toying between Auba & Kane

You playing Rico or Montoya??

Very nice team. Personally still on the fence between Grealish and McGinn.

Not sure if this is a good sign but that is the exact same team as mine at the moment, with Kane v Auba the same dilemma.

A

as in 3-5-2 or 3-4-3

Deeney

jota

A or B

B

How about Gibson? Anyone?

Lottery. They are all 4m for a reason.

Praying Rico starts as on BB...he should do

Lund Gibson and Kelly in no predicted line ups I've seen

Kane

I'd say Auba due to gw2

Kane even tempted to C

Auba

Lund and Wickham not in predicted line ups

Looks very solid. Probably stuck with 2 non-starters however just like myself.

Not now Klopp says Mane looking fit.

Do you mean today?

I guess he starts. But Mane & Lallana / Shaq replace both he and Firmino around 60-70

Cheers mate

No salah = gw2 wildcard 😀

Similar stuff was said this time last year I seem to remember then I got 32 points from Mane captaincy

Such follow the herd rubbish imo

Think you're right with all those points... although I disagree with punts from an entertainment perspective. I just can't have a team full of high ownership players. Need a couple of punty low ownership players to keep it interesting.

Trossard & Moura ftw

No chance would I give up sterling

Nope.

I'm afraid of KDB and no Sterling but not comfortable changing any of my team

Sterling 250pts this season

Odd swap. I'd go Salah > Mané perhaps at some point however.

No

Solid. Guessing Hendo will rack up save points even though there probs wont be many CS.
What made you decide Auba over Kane?

Solid team to be honest. Very balanced.
