The headline FPL team news from Thursday’s press conferences

Sorry for topping page again!

A for me

2 non playing forwards. Early WC incoming

B is better as you can't start Rico

B

Try to think of the save points, do prefer Heaton (Pope for me)

yeah not too big on Ryan, Heaton/Pope/Hendo seems to close to call

Siggy cleaning house...

The players you originally have in your line up that were hastily disregarded in the tinkering process producing big numbers in week 1.

Pope and possibly Heaton & Henderson will get 150 ish for £1m less

Because it's the least exciting position, most prefer to spend elsewhere

Pope will get that and more for cheaper. Look at the last time he got decent minutes

Yes

Nothing's guaranteed.

Where's Kiwivillian?

Heaton and Pope have scored near 150 every season not injured. Beat Lloris last 6 season scores

Pope got over 150 in his season as number 1.

Leno could be good at 5m

Loris gets more cleansheets but alot less saves and bonus points because of less action

Pope and Heaton won't get 140 without saving a pen or 2. Lloris is guaranteed 140 in less than 3000 min. Calculate

This is a great question. Set and forget for a potential 140, or rotate and try to pick up 150, with a cash saving of 1 mil. Still favouring rotation at the start of the season just because I (anecdotally) think there are less clean sheets in Aug / Sept than the rest of the year... but I might think about this later.

You might be right but pts per minutes and millions put Hugo above Pope. Gunn being the best value

A

A

All bad but B is really really bad

C, though I'd get Jota if you want wolves forward, and upgrade kwp and Cathcart

B

B

You have tough opening fixtures on both...! I'm assuming Jota from Wolves...

Heaton/Pope

flappy 4.0

Pope Heaton

I'm on Heaton / Pope at the moment as well...

Check their points total last season. Plus Salah is arguably a set and forget captain

have to be very brave to not get Salah, even if he's playing poorly, he still get like 5shots a game.

Bobby is good but he's no Salah.

Could be a great option, don't get why nobody has him here. But not really someone you'd be comfortable captaining.

This is an odd question. It’s to do with getting more points.

Because of how they play.

Because difference position, point and nailedness .

Firmino getting subbed at Charity Shield

Salah a good captain option.
People go for Salah because of captaincy

Why do most people see Firmino as an option, but nobody fancy Pukki at 3m cheaper?

For the opening fixture, I'm thinking it may be worth having both.

Good but I’d personally get a £4.5m GK and upgrade Gray who won’t play and possibly Dunk too.

It's an excellent team in my (humble) opinion.

I would have concerns about Gray - he deserves to play since (as you say) he's had an excellent preseason and I think Watford have a possible injury niggle with Deulofeu - but if that's cleared up, he might not start. If you're happy to take the chance I'd say go for it.

Perez to Siggy/Bilva?

sterling to salah
vvd to lap

downgrade one of the liverpool defender and KDB>Salah

Zinch to Laporte

B

B

A all day

Currently sitting on B.

Would prefer Martial & Moura to Fraser anyway

a not close

A

got A myself. need to see more from KDB before I get him

B for flexibility.

If Fraser or Wilson go off the boil/Bournemouth are shite/have bad fixtures, what do you do?

With B, you can go KdB > Son/Pepe. King can easily go out for Jota/Deulofeu/Wood etc.

Doubt any of those 4.0m start past GW1.

1
A 99% won't start
B 90% won't start
C 50/50

He won't likely start anyway

Still there. Bit of shame all the injuries he had. Might've been a decent player.

delete team

Don't get it - what's it supposed to sound like?

More likely less penalties

Not definitely, in fact a lot of divers might well get sent off and a lot less penos be given.

live stream on youtube or twitter vid?

I think we will see more goals from corners and indirect free kicks due to the lack of shirt pulling etc. Could bring centre backs into fashion, players like Sakho, Van Dijk and Slabhead could get a few this season.

Nope. Fancy Sterling for overall top points this tear

So walker gets insta dropped?

He will be rotated a lot

A bit optimistic imo.

Walker’s spot to lose for now. Any injury to the Englishman and Cancelo becomes must-have.

wont start till gw 4+

Too risky to start with imo

B but i’d pick another 4.5 GK

B

b

B

Prefer b

@kiwivillan help a fellow
mcginn owner out.

B with Wesley

I went for Stones instead of Zinc. More nailed IMO. Jota with my 6,5 forward

I enjoy the use of the word mustard...

AB KWP 4.5 4

A2 B1 D1 E fodder

ABD Burnley Sheffield Utd

yeah i have 0.5 burning a hole in my pocket

Neither will start. Greenwood more likely minutes off bench. Neither for me

Going Wickham I think - too many casuals expecting Greenwood to get decent minutes and who'll sell as soon as a cheap striker flukes a brace

If it’s your 3rd outfield sub then does it matter?

Its no worse than anything else I've seen on here.
Maybe go for King rather than Wilson and upgrade Dendoncker>Barkley and play 352?

a

Don't like the Zinchenko pick but the restate is pretty good.

solid and templatey, good stuff

tempted but prob not

No.
