    I know you all own taa. I have him as well.

    But how do you pass on VVD?
    Who is better value elsewhere?
    He simply works as 8.5 mid/forward
    TAA crosses + VVD goals are heavenly.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What about Robbo?

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not much different to vvd imo.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not this time

    3. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How many clean sheets do you expect in the first 10?
      I personally think not more than 5.
      TAA and Robbo makes sense because of their attacking returns but not VVD imo

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Check out liverpool cs stats last year. It's not about match difficulty

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Allisson was injured.

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA the best value for money in the game.

    5. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo Missed a bunch of games and still scored higher than VVD. As a Liverpool and FPL addict, I love VVD and have often had him in my squad, but having TAA and Robertson (Carlos) in the team is worth more points than the 7/7.5 option in midfield

  2. Dain Bramage
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Probably starting with no keeper!! I want Pope and hopefully to carry my free transfer to week 3 I just don’t don’t think it’s worth the hassle.

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pope is not worth it this year

      1. Dain Bramage
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I disagree he wants England No 1 spot

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You mean you're getting Pope GW1 and just having no keeper in GW1?
      If so , that is not a huge issue

      1. Dain Bramage
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe but I’m going 3 Liverpool at the back so I could switch vvd to Alison but I’m not happy with the rest of the team then. I know most will probably not agree with my choice but I honestly think they are the best value I the team. Maybe Keita but he’s more of let’s see.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Triple Pool defence and no starting keeper for gw1... very different approach there to say the least. Can't say I agree with it but good luck!

          1. Dain Bramage
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks after having Taa Rob I thought why not get Vvd they all definitely will get game time. Just hope they sort themselves out at back

        2. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Only thong I would suggest is not get Alisson as tempting it may seem.

          TAA VVD Robbo are the three and should Salah and/or Mane become "essential" they're not so far away

          1. Dain Bramage
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            12 m though and the likes of mini and Keita wanting to play. Couple of quiet games and who knows who plays

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good decisive decision imo. Pope will make up for it over the season as a set & forget.

      Has the +1m against a 4.5m gk effected your squad choices elsewhere?

      1. Dain Bramage
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not really I’ve still 1m in bank and picked Ali over Son, son let me down too many times last year

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yep agree. Ali can be great when fit. Like the decision. BOL!

    Expected bites (xB) - the number of posters expected to bite depending on how nonsensical a claim the OP makes.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His post was not nonsense, but it would've helped if he had mentioned his actual point at the end of it. By not doing that, it looked like he meant those players were better value picks than Bruno which they aren't.

      1. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        My issue is it’s that kind of interpretation of stats that give things like xA a bad name.

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair, as CS says I could have explained my point at the end of my post.

      The amount of people triggered by it was astounding though - crazy stuff.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is it not more that you've been triggered by Bruno?

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Here’s one of them now!

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Let he without sin cast the first stone goonsquad, let he without sin 😉

        I just went back and read what was going on.

        While I’m not going to pretend I understood all of what was said, I must say that you stood your ground and defended your corner admirably.

        Even had a couple big boys at you too. 🙂

  4. McSauce

    Ehhh may have cracked it with 3 pool big guns....

    McCarty
    TAA vinagre Justin
    Salah ASM Mane (A)uba Soucek
    Mitro Werner

    Button CWP Douglas Davis

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can then do salah or mane or auba —> KBD/Bruno

      Gives easy transfer options

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Three 12m mids is not worth ripping your whole team apart imo.
      You'll probably never captain Mane.. so no way you can justify the 12m spent on him.
      Mane + ASM -> Rashford + Ziyech

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Think this is me for at least 4-6 gws....... All reviews welcome.
    Mc carthy
    TAA, Vinagre, Doherty
    Pereira, Auba, Salah, Son, Soucek.
    Kane, Mitrovic
    Subs. Nyland, Mitchell/ferguson/Johnson(havent decided which one yet)
    Taylor.,Brewster

    Playing 3,5,2 this season

    Notes. Brewster in as long as he gets move to PL club. If not ill be downgrading Doherty to a 4.5 and going possibly 6 million and have option to go 3, 4,3.
    Think im positioned to jump on any bandwagons. Ie Timo, United players etc.

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So you'll not use your first 6 FT's?

  6. A-L
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Chelsea fans have an insight on how nailed Reece James is? Lamps to be starting, benching every week or rotating?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi at first, suspect James comes in for easier games when more attacking impetus is needed

      1. A-L
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Were they taking each others minutes or playing at the same time post restart?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Azpi always started post lockdown. James would force Azpi into LB or CB with Alonso on the other side in a 3-4-3

          1. A-L
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Ok cool that's good to know - thanks! Might be a wait & see with LIV in GW2

  7. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    VDB so tempting at 7.0.

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah could be good, might wait a couple of weeks to see the role he takes up - but he might have hauled by then

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Also may not have started by then though 😉

    2. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      8 goals 5 assists or something in Holland

  8. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    People bench KDB Martial Bruno in Gw1, dont you think their price will drop and you will lose value??

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Will be locked until GW2 starts I imagine

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not if they are not injured.

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They will be locked until transfers for GW2 start, so the night of the 12th I would expect prices to start to move. But at that point, no one will be selling them, so why would their prices drop? If anything they will be going up really fast.

      3. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        There is no reason to be locked. They will definitely rise

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why would their price drop?

    3. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lol they will rise

    4. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And then rise crazy in the next 5 gameweeks?

    5. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not selecting/benching for gw1 myself, but doubt their prices will drop even without mass selection for gw2. This FPL pricing algorithm seems to have some tweakable variables

  9. olly:)
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any wolves fans about or anyone who has any idea whether or not Podence is expected to be in the starting lineup, was impressed with him at the end of last season but they have a lot of depth in that area.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think the loss of Doherty is going to hurt Wolves attacking wise.

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Read somewhere that Traore will start most games at RWB. And Podence Jota Jiminez start as the front 3.

      1. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Or Wolves could switch to a front 2, in which case Podence/Jota/Neto are fighting for one spot.

  10. Adambailey7
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    When switching to city assets what’s your thoughts on sterling over KDB?

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He can be more explosive but also less consistent. KDB will get points nearly every week and Sterling will get you 15 big hauls, but a lot of 2 pointers

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'll probably get Sterling off the back of a better end to the season. Might reallocate to KDB and/or Aguero when all are fit and have a better picture of how advanced KDB plays

  11. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    a) Armstrong (cry, TOT, bur, WBA, che)
    b) Soucek (NEW, ars, WOL, lei, tot)
    c) ASM (whu, BRI, tot,BUR, MUN)
    d) other under 6.0

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    One thing is for sure, there are loads of options this season to build a mofo side without any Pep roulette.

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Which other team could score 5 goals in a match against almost any opposition?

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Difficult to judge from this side of gw3 though. I hope you're right as there are better priced potential assets outside city.

  13. Benjixclusyv
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Suggestions?

    McCarthy, 4.0

    TAA, Vinagre, Saliba, Mitchell, 4.0

    Salah, Auba, Son, ASM, Soucek

    Werner, Mitro, DCL

    1.0 itb to fund KDB/Bruno moves.

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Soucek doubtful

      1. Benjixclusyv
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you. Not much else to like in that 5.0 range. Maybe Kalvin Phillips who should be on some sets for Leeds

    2. BigBillyBass

          People on here saying he has to qurantine..??? The Premier League have confirmed that all players taking part in international duty who are UK based will not need to quarantine. This does not apply to any new signings of less than 2 weeks.

    New article

  17. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What's everyone's thoughts about the bench boost in GW1 strategy? I'm very tempted to do it, mostly because my ideal GW1BB team is very close to what I was tempted to start with anyway playing normally. Thus you could postpone the WC easily until GW4 if you'd like that, but WCing straight away for GW2 doesn't seem like a bad idea as the Manchester teams start the season and you can get very quickly on them and any other bandwagons.

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too much uncertainty in GW1 for me. I'd rather save it for a DGW after playing a Wildcard later in the season

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What's your bench?

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But it’s two chips used up very early in the season...

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      BB without any City or United players in the team sounds out there.

  18. ivantys

    Best 5.5m midfielder worth getting that will last me through 8 weeks? (Planning to use wild card on week 9) I'm pondering over trezequet, schlupp, lundstrum, moutinho, armstrong.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saint-Maximin? Also like Lundstrum & Armstrong

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Was a bit worried that he doesn't start, and newcastle's fixtures don't look that easy but I guess I could consider him since I prefer taking a risk with 5.5m rather than just settling for 2 points every week.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lundstrum would be my choice if the contract is sorted out and he has assurance of starts. ASM was favoured by Bruce after lockdown in a more attacking equation, BUT that was when they were safe. Whether they will start the season with the same dynamic is debatable, but the guy has class & form. He doesn't play like the average 2 pointer

          1. ivantys
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah I like those sudden burst of points rather than constant 2 pointer. For a cheap midfielder, I prefer it to be either doesn't play at all or start a match with good chance of scoring.

            1. Pep bites Kun
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              In the low brackets I'm looking for players who are ambitious (want play for a bigger club & show it) I've also got Bissouma @ 4.5 - hoping he's the same and at least gets the mins.

              1. ivantys
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah that's why I was leaning towards Schlupp or Trezequet for high risk high return type of players. My 4.5 "throw" player is gordan too and not a regular 2 pointer so yeah if they fire blanks is fine for me too.

              2. ivantys

                Looks like I might have found the gem i was looking for: podence from wolves. He has a 2/3 chance of starting with traore and jota. Seeing as neither were regular starters last season, he could well be first choice now.

            I realised Lundstrum's points would be so much lower had he been a midfielder instead of a defender, at least 35 plus many bonuses lower so he's out of my choices already.

              He was fairly consistent for attacking points above his price (when regularly playing), which is why he's still in my draft thoughts, but obviously contract & start risks exist.

              He's watch-list for now.

                Really cos his points would have been lower than even Henderson. That palace 6m guy is interesting though he has double digit goals the 2 seasons before last.

    Is there anyone out there going without Salah. I did it towards the end of the season last year and it worked out, am I crazy?

    Should I start with Kane if I am only going to captain him once in the first 6 weeks

    Those going for Che Adams, are you sure he gets 60 mins? Shane Long is waiting.
    What if he is subbed at half time if things are not going well?

    Ryan
    TAA, Justin, KWP
    Alli, Auba (c), Salah, ASM
    Vardy, Ings, Mitro

    Subs: Button, Mitchell, Taylor, Stephens

    Good if I only know Che Adams is nailed, then I can have a balanced side. Please help!

    RMT please

    McCarthy Button
    TAA Vinagre Justin Mitchell Johnson
    Auba Salah Son St. Maxima Gordon
    Werner Ings Mitrovich

    Transfer plan:
    GW3 - Auba > Sterling
    Ings > Jimenez

    How could I get a Utd player in here
    What if Son is deployed along side Kane.. that makes him a much prospective asset.
    Also if DCL flourishes i intend to
    DCL > Mitrovic
    ASM >?

    Thanks in advance

    Robbo Missed a bunch of games and still scored higher than VVD. As a Liverpool and FPL addict, I love VVD and have often had him in my squad, but having TAA and Robertson (Carlos) in the team is worth more points than the 7/7.5 option in midfield
