The Southampton players I’m considering for my ‘big-at-the-back’ FPL team

Is it too risky to get Havertz from GW1?

Thoughts on going without Mane or Salah (spreading funds or having United / city player on bench instead).

Nketiah better than Ings for GW1/2 if enabled to fund better defense (e.g. Vinagre to Dier, etc.)

Not much talk about Burnley, have you consider leaving one defender on the bench? (Im doing it atm). If so, which one?

1. How does one go about dealing with United Chelsea and City assets before GW1

2. Will players like Doherty and Havertz start GW1

Is Trent Robertson and Tierney to defensively heavy to start with?

Is Diogo Jota the most under priced player going? Reclassified as a midfielder but playing up top in a 3-5-2 or our wide in a 4-3-3. Looked electric for Portugal the other night

Which managers are likely to change formation/style for the upcoming season? Will we see Brighton or Leicester play with a back three, will this lead to any OOP players?

What do you consider best team price point structure to start off with?

Is it more prudent to wait until GW3 before making a decision on which Chelsea boys to own? 1/ we have no preseason data, 2/ tough opening fixtures - Brighton are tighter than a duck’s bum and Liverpool too - 3/Frank has made alot of changes do they need to gel

Which players are most likely to lose their place in the starting 11 between now and the closure of the transfer window?

What is your preferred formation starting this season? The 4.5 spot upfront in a 352 might be a risk. With Covid around a planing bench could be really helpful. Assuming most of us are starting with a 4,0 defender which might lack starts at some point of the season.

With great fixtures and a terrible team behind him Will we see Mitrovic get enough chances to justify selection?

Which enabling midfielder is the best for the start for the start of the season? The 5.5-6 bracket bracket is quite interesting with players like ASM, Armstrong, Ward-Browse, Saka and maybe even Podence.

- Best budget defenders 4.0 and 4.5 ones
- ManU player(s) plan for GW2
- Havertz + Werner from the start?
- Start with Soucek even if he won't play in GW1 given his great value?

Greenwood vs. Foden ?

Are we overhyping spurs assets? After their decent finish and everyone watching their All or Nothing documentary ... the likes of Doherty, Davies, All, Son and to some extend Kane have become quite popular picks in our bubble. Reminding ourselves its still a team coached by Mourinho ... the next meltdown might be around the corner.

Are our cheap defenders at risk with new signings? Vinagre (WOL), Lamptey (BRI) and Justin (LEI) likely to lose their places with the signings of Fabio Silva & Marcal, Veltman and Castagne.

- best 4.5 defender for first 4gws or so
- chelsea assets - wait to see or grab from the start?
- put all cash in starting 11 or spread out on bench due to cv19 risk?

Are TAA, Robertson & Doherty worth the combined outlay? Are there any midfielders in this price range that could potentially achieve their points totals or is it just a case of going with two big midfielders and then under £6m options for the remaining places

Are you starting with any ManUtd or ManCity players, and if not, when/how do you plan to get them in?

Kane vs Werner ?

Is Munday camped out at Selhurst Park and has he seen any sightings of Nathan Ferguson in training?

How many chucks could a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood?

Has TAA ruined the game?
Essentially he has made it a 10 man game, and possibly a 9 man game. To get a green arrow from a Liverpool win you will need another Liverpool player. Of which there only 4 others to choose from.
So it is a TAA and one from Robbo/VVD/Salah/Mane.
Would like to hear the panels view?

Is it viable to be starting with one or two blank players on the bench if you know you will want them later or better to go with a full 15 and look to bring them in further down the line?

Who are your picks for players that will have a good season, that aren't obvious like an Auba or Salah. Thinking more along the lines of Martinelli or DCL

Is it time to listen to expert statisticians and to stop looking at the last 4 gameweeks? 

Wilson 6.5 or Adams 6......would have to find 0.5 for Wilson.... Take out Doherty, ASM or Pereira(west brom) and whom to put in.

Full team (currently)

McCarthy 4.5
TAA 7.5, KWP 4.5, Doherty 6
Ali 8, Pereira 6, Salah 12, Auba 12, ASM 5.5
Timo 9.5, Adams 6
Subs. Button 4, Mitrovic 6, Dallas 4.5, Mitchell or Ferguson 4
Amy constructive comments welcome.
Thanks #UPPAFANTASYFOOTBALL

Last season many of us had 2 or 3 United assets becasue they were kindly priced and scoring for fun, can Chelsea be the go to team for more of the same this year ? 8.0m to 9.5m for some really talented players , will blue be the colour of our teams come October ?

Everton and Newcastle did some interesting transfers this week. Is it worth considering some of them for gw1 or is it too early?

Best striker options to start season in 6 - 6.5 m price bracket to consider ?
