The key underlying statistics I consider when picking my new FPL squad

Could be gold. With aguero not getting younger and fitness issues feel pep may look to sterling more now. Not sure Jesus is totally trusted by pep

Could well be. Went a bit off the boil post-lockdown; I just want to see which Raz turns up.

I think you're right. Bit of a differential too. I'm going to get him over KDB.

Great option and underpriced in my eyes

Will monitor MUN in gw2 first before bringing one in...DvB a major factor

Does feel that way but this is a bubble and the reality is he is only 19% selected so far

I've gone Rodak - his save stats are exceptional and I think Fulham will play a low block to encourage long shots due to slight lack of pace in defence.

It's a gamble but I think could end up with a lot of save points an bonus when they get a Clean Sheet.

Stats wise not a lot between him and Ryan, could come down to who else you want in your def

Ramsdale here

Soyuncu seems a strange pick.
Don't like 1 up front unless Brewster gets a loan.
Doc is a season keeper if you have him.
Rather do Mane to Bruno than Auba, then Auba to KDB following week and keep Son.

Good enough. Saliba a starter?

Set

Looks decent, like the Wood pick. Wish i had 0.5 to stretch to him from Mitro/Ayew.

Both equally nailed I'd say - Davies competion is young Ryan who is a great attacking player but wasn't even a good full back in the Championship - guess he'll play in Europa.

Or start with Justin instead of Davies and switch them in GW3...?

You probably need a premium defender. Perhaps downgrade Adams or Mitrovic to 4.5m and then upgrade a 4.5, defender

Sheff Utd looking favourite. Might not be done early enough for GW1.

Bringing a placeholder*

2 weeks of Auba or depending on how bad Salah is.

A and starting Soucek instead. Don't want to use transfer on Bruno in GW2, would rather have it handy for Martial or anyone exploding in GW1.

D) Wait and see how United line up and play after De Beek and possibly Sancho are included.

A for me

A.

I don't like/can't be sure of any placeholder. There is no really obvious pick. If say Son/Spurs had WBA then I think I'd be more inclined to take the risk. But Everton at home is not a cakewalk with their new midfield. Pepe is unreliable, and Ziyech is unproven and also away from home. There is no obvious placeholder top pick.

C is an option. But you're not gonna downgrade Auba before WHU. Planning to do Salah > Fernandes in GW2 floats 1.5m and will be very tough to do if he hauls as he's expected to against Leeds.

Therefore A is the most logical option to me if Fernandes is a priority. The other option I quite like is D which is don't bother with Bruno and plan to be without him.

Torn between benching now and planning to buy him later

A

Thinking Salah out, but not decided which way is the best

I am on D - waiting, while having other Man U assets rather.

Good enough.

Don't think Brewster will see much game time.

Not against something a bit different, but some of your choices seem to be deliberately perverse.

Alonso will only play until Chilwell is back from injury, and even then Azpi might play instead of him

Saints fan? Ings and Adams double is different but I like it! Definitely not template!

I was on the trial then I found fantasy football hub which seemed way batter and easier so I never signed up to fix

Sometimes, but people’s fpl accounts were hacked from their last season. It’s price predictor isn’t very good either

Used it for one season. Wasn't a huge fan. Felt like good presentation mostly. I prefer the members area here.

The assistant manager (suggested transfer) thing is ok and you can use it for free after season starts.
It did tell me to buy Cenk Tosun once and foolishly I did so like all sites needs to taken with a pinch of salt.

It costs, right? I only pay for this site. The other one I consult is LiveFPL and that's just to monitor my rivals live. Tbh, any more information than is thrown at me by FFS is just overload.

A is safer. But I think we'll get Arsenal answers before GW1 either way.

I like B

If nothing major changes, prefer B because it will mean that we know Vinagre is nailed.

I’d get Adams

I've no soton. Don't be a sheep and stick to your guns

I'd rather start with Mitro, relatively gentle fixtures, talisman and on pens. Adams a bit more of a wait and see.

Keep soucek

Any idea where he'll go?

Somehow I think that missed penalty in the Community Shield increases the need to loan him about somewhere to boost his confidence but might be on of those deadline day moves unfortunately.

Will it matter? Will he dislodge McBurnie or McGoldrick?

Ideally he'll go on loan today and have time to score a couple of double hat-tricks in preseason before GW1

Don't think he'll be going on loan, Klopp will wait to see how Minamino and the other contenders work out. He's highly thought of by season ticket holders I've spoken to up here. The fans like him a lot and see a future for him at Anfield.

11

I'm on A1

Soucek - I've no qualms with playing him every week.

Why not rotate them? Could be an option.

Really don't recommend Pope set and forget especially because he misses GW1.

If you want a set and forget until you wildcard, McCarthy will do fine. Or if you're really insistent, you can get Lloris at 5.5m.

No keeper for GW1

Don't play with blank players in GW1, they're all still in doubt in GW2 because of this Covid problem, no one is 100% sure fit especially with Traore, Pogba, etc now contracted virus.

Best is to start with fully fitted players for GW1 and then take a hit if necessary, or maybe Ings > Martial is a good bet cause Martial is good at home, Bruno or Greenwood can wait later

For me, Pope becomes Lloris, too much Leeds to gamble early. Vardy becomes Werner and KDB can turn into Havertz or Willian

Good luck

GW1 OR 127,000ish

Ya it's good. I might downgrade Ryan to get TAA in over Robertson.

Double Spurs defense is pretty bold. I don't want to do that because I have a sneaking suspicion that I might want to double on their attack. Will take two weeks to decide which double is better.

The double-rotation at the back, I see! It's only Mitro that leaves me cold; otherwise, looks good.
