How will Donny van de Beek fit into the United midfield and what is his FPL appeal?

All the serious players

Its a reasonable option

Yes, I’m leaning towards an approach of cash cows combined with base price players rather than overly spreading the cash on mid price and/or cheap punts that lock away .5s. Lots of variations to this. This I like. Playing a 4.5 each week early doors is sensible for 3 reasons a) 2 points is decent in PPM terms b) they don’t lock unnecessary cash c) that random Armstrong haul (for example) was great... only you picked ASM (for example) who turns out he was dud punt that needs transferring out to a 4.5 to free funds

I'm with you on this one and in the exact same position almost

no

Give him some tough love first. Tell him you need to see some end product if he wants to make the side.

Very good team except AWB

How many weeks between 2 and 8 would you want a United defender? Same pretty much true of Arsenal too if you’re looking at cs

Better than Liverpool against Leeds at home?

Go for it

He has the worst fixture

I’d go for a 5.5 and a 4.5 and never play the 4.5

Ritchie looks likely to be leaving for Bournemouth.

You aiming for 2 1-3-pointers every week?

Could be a good pick for sure, but not instead of KDB, potentially as well as

KDB is gold....all the rest are rotation risk. Foden is big talent, but he plays for City (and we all know how much Pep love to rotate)

😮

I am seriously considering having on bench gw1. Think he could provide some real value and act like a mini KDB. If he is starting 65%+ of the games his price could well rocket and he will be in everyones team.

Can't see a situation where he's ever part of the best 11 because quite simply the other players are better than him, however yes he could have a few runs in the team this season and if you time it right and he fires then you're laughing

And on what position would he start? Bench Salah for Minamino?

He doesn't play as part of the front 3 ffs. Seen so many mention that. He'll sit just in behind them, but is very dangerous. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he starts next Saturday..

It looks like Klopp is trying out both 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-1-3. Minamino is gonna be coming off the bench for now while they work that new system out. So, I expect games to start 4-3-3 with Wijnaldum, Keita, and Fabinho (until Henderson gets back and pending Wijnaldum's contact situation). Once Taki comes on, system changes. We have to see where he ends up playing.

He won’t start, potential impact sub

Thought they had an intimate scene 😆

aren't people saying Dier is his favourite?

Because, last year he said that he will build team aroud him.
Still, much better options are Kane and Son

I had heard the opposite. That he didn’t like alli

SAF also declared Phil Jones as the second coming in later years

Son and Dier for me EZ

I’d go Alli & Doc

I have Son & Dier

Alli has let me down too many times in the past

Try FlashScore or SofaScore app

Greenwood to Van De Beek?

Is that over budget or would you be upgrading someone with the .5?

I can shave 5m off... Sterling to Foden

Not sure how often Pieters will play(?)
IMO you have 1 too many premiums so you should downgrade there - probably Sterling for me - Bruno?
Assume you’ll be having placeholders in w1?

Is this for a week 2 wildcard?

Kane to Werner and have some spare cash? 😉

TAA to Robbo or Soucek to a 4.5 2 pointer

Sterling to Son. Soucek to Foden

Salah -> Chelsea mid would give you like 4m

Must get out of breath after that ...

Personally find it a glorified advert for Mourinho. They cover pochettinos season in 15 minutes. No insights into why he was fired and suddenly Mourinho and Levy are having inane conversations at the dinner table. What about the goal by sonny heh!

Hopes are very low indeed after the first 3 episodes.

745

I like it- but would probably get Dier over Doherty so you can get 5.5 m midfielder

Mitro

A, but C will be a massive bandwagon if he gets nailed

Mitro. I'm going by the trend in previous seasons where Mitro and Pukki have started well. My theory is that promoted teams have more confidence (before a few pastings bring them down to earth) and other teams come back from pre season slightly disorganised so the talisman will score goals.

C ain't good enough.

A or B
Probably A

Che Adams

I have ayew as I don't expect mitrovic to score against arsenal, leeds, wolves and sheffield. From week 6-9 I'll get him in.

Barnes and Ayew are decent options with fixtures

But wait for Bats to turn up somewhere. He’d be the class of the field. Can’t see Chelsea holding him as 4tg choice striker - wouldn’t make their cup squads

Yes

No as long as david luiz is playing

Doh

They lost the match 3-2

Wish there was one

Yes, Kane few season ago.

In isolation I’d guess Doherty will be far more enjoyable to own than Mitro. However, in these volatile times, having Davis AND a Wickham is perhaps questionable.

Doherty is also a gateway (drug) to Laporte and Pool. Mitro is a gateway to another bandwagon

Davies ➡️ Dier
Keane ➡️ Coleman
Alli ➡️ Son
And Saka is so not nailed

You probably gonna have at most 10 players playing for week 1.

These plans will go up in smoke

overthinking

i think most are preplanning a utd player and KdB transfer but beyond that your transfer will be whoever scored a couple of goals in the first two weeks

Your team looks good, as do the planned transfers in weeks 2 & 3.

I like how different it is. Not sure that means much but its something

James might be 8

Quite like the everton picks but double Man City defense with that run of fixtures? Why not diversify with Doherty or Davies?

Don't double mancity defence, you never know who's gonna start with peproulette

Can't see jrod being less than richarlison

It's gonna be mitro vs luiz, battle between who's gonna get sent off first.

For me he looks sluggish even when he is scoring goals, his whole demeanor is of slighlty overweight astmathic nerd.

He scored a perfectly good goal (late run to the far post sliding it home) which was ruled out for an incorrect offside (no VAR used today).
It was a laboured performance as a whole by England against a very defensive team, Kane looked as good as anyone to score and didn’t appear sluggish or slow. I’d be confident if I owned him, personally going Alli for what it’s worth.

Decent. Not sure on Ayew though

Solidly template

Soucek might miss GW1 but you have Mitchell.

briefly yes

Thought about it.... but GW3 I’ll be looking for Utd, City players to bring in.... none in that price bracket.

I think Stephens, Mccarthy, Riedewald, and maybe those brighton ones.

Not at all.

Not for me. Salah has been very poor in pre season. Mane was much more dangerous today and scored

Nope. For large parts of last season, mane was the popular option over Salah
