FPL

Fernandes and De Bruyne rise to £12.0m as more FPL prices are revealed

More Fantasy Premier League player prices for the 2021/22 campaign have been released on Monday to follow on from Sunday’s surprise reveals.

The two Manchester clubs, Aston Villa, Brentford, Chelsea, Everton, Leicester City, Newcastle United, Southampton, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers have all made announcements, either revealing entire squad lists or just a handful of assets.

The headline news sees Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne priced up at £12.0m – that’s half a million cheaper than Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah (both £12.5m).

Goalkeepers Emiliano Martinez (£5.5m) and Edouard Mendy (£6.0m) have climbed in price following their achievements in 2020/21, along with last season’s popular forward options Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m), Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.5m), Ollie Watkins (£7.5m) and Callum Wilson (£7.5m).

TEAM BY TEAM

MANCHESTER CITY

While Ruben Dias moving up a rung to £6.0m was entirely expected, the elevation of De Bruyne to the £12.0m mark came out of the blue.

The Belgian’s points-per-match average of 5.6 was the same as Ilkay Gundogan’s last season and a whole point short of what Fernandes was churning out across Manchester.

This is De Bruyne’s most expensive starting price ever in FPL and sees him move up half a million in cost.

Raheem Sterling‘s worst year for Fantasy attacking returns (19) since 2015/16 results in a drop from £11.5m to £11.0m, while Riyad Mahrez‘s late-season run of form in which he delivered 10 goals and assists in as many appearances perhaps influenced the decision to increase his asking price to a still-reasonable £9.0m.

MANCHESTER UNITED
The Complete Guide to FPL Gameweek 30 2

Goalkeepers: David De Gea (£5m), Dean Henderson (£5m).
Defenders: Harry Maguire (£5.5m), Luke Shaw (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m), Alex Telles (£5m), Victor Lindelof (£5m), Eric Bailly (£5m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m), Brandon Williams (£4m).
Midfielders: Bruno Fernandes (£12m), Marcus Rashford (£9.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.5m), Mason Greenwood (£7.5m), Jesse Lingard (£7m), Donny van de Beek (£6m), Daniel James (£6m), Scott McTominay (£5.5m), Fred (£5m), Nemanja Matic (£4.5m).
Forwards: Edinson Cavani (£8.5m), Anthony Martial (£8m).


Aside from the headline Fernandes news, Luke Shaw has been handed a price rise to £5.5m.

That’s still a little on the generous side, given that he was top for chances created among defenders in 2021.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire (both £5.5m) are at the same price rung as the left-back but United’s two senior goalkeepers, Dean Henderson (£5.0m) and David de Gea (£5.0m), are both available for half a million cheaper.

Only Manchester City and Chelsea (12 each) kept more clean sheets than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops (nine) this calendar year, so there’ll no doubt be plenty of takers in the first couple of months of the new campaign given the mostly favourable fixtures they enjoy in Gameweeks 1-7.

Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) and Mason Greenwood (£7.5m) are still categorised as midfielders and their starting prices remain identical to what they were ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

The latter ended the season just gone in fine form, hitting seven attacking returns from Gameweeks 30-35.

Rashford was the fifth highest-scoring midfielder in the game, meanwhile.

Edinson Cavani (£8.5m) and Anthony Martial (£8.0m) are the only two FPL forwards listed on the Red Devils’ books.

ASTON VILLA

Martinez almost broke the record for most FPL points by a goalkeeper in a single season in 2020/21 and it was inevitable that he’d rise to £5.5m, given the similar hike experienced by Nick Pope (£5.5m) a year earlier.

Watkins had begun last season at £6.0m and has been slapped with a £1.5m rise, having plundered 23 attacking returns and 168 points en route to finishing as the fourth highest-scoring forward in the game.

Grealish’s season was impacted by injury but his points-per-match average of 5.2 was the best among Villa assets and the 10th highest among Fantasy midfielders.

Tyrone Mings remains steady at £5.0m, despite being part of a Villa backline that kept more clean sheets (15) than all teams bar Manchester City and Chelsea last season.

New boy Emiliano Buendia (£6.5m) is significantly cheaper than Grealish, with the returning Ashley Young available at £5.5m.

BRENTFORD
Price Reveal List.png

With FPL perhaps having learned their lesson from last season’s underpricing of Patrick Bamford and Ollie Watkins, Toney enters FPL at a less palatable £6.5m.

The penalty-taking forward bagged 31 goals in 45 Championship appearances in 2020/21, assisting a further 10 of the Bees’ strikes.

All of Brentford’s other Fantasy assets are priced under £6.0m, with set-piece takers Bryan Mbeumo and Mathias Jensen available at £5.5m and £5.0m respectively.

David Raya is yet another goalkeeper listed at £4.5m.

CHELSEA
Image

Mendy kept clean sheets in over half of his appearances last season (16 in 31 games) although such was Chelsea’s strength at the back that he collected save points in fewer than a third of his run-outs.

No Blues player started more Premier League matches under Thomas Tuchel than Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.0m) and the long-serving Spaniard’s starting price remains stable in the premium bracket as a consequence.

Timo Werner‘s (£9.0m) underwhelming first season at Stamford Bridge sees him drop half a million, with N’Golo Kante a non-mover at £5.0m.

EVERTON
Image

Calvert-Lewin’s 16-goal season sees him join Patrick Bamford at the £8.0m mark.

The Everton striker found the back of the net on 11 occasions in as many Gameweeks at the start of 2020/21, with the goals drying up thereafter.

But a positive-looking opening set of fixtures, particularly at home, will surely see the Toffees at the forefront of many Fantasy managers’ thoughts.

And Lucas Digne could well be the most popular pick of all from the blue half of Merseyside, with an unexpected drop to £5.5m one of the most surprising price reveals to date.

The Frenchman was behind only Aaron Cresswell (£5.5m) among FPL defenders for assists last season and returned more than mere appearance points in over half of his 30 starts.

The starting prices of James Rodriguez (£7.0m) and Richarlison (£7.5m) have also fallen after underwhelming campaigns.

LEICESTER CITY
Fantasy Premier League price reveal: Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0), Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.5), Maddison (£7.0), Jamie Vardy (£10.5)

Iheanacho’s remarkably good late-season form has seen him join the ranks of the mid-price forwards.

The Nigerian had dropped to £5.6m from a starting price of £6.0m by the time his purple patch started in Gameweek 26 of the campaign just gone.

He then embarked on a run of 11 goals in Leicester City’s final 12 matches at the tail-end of 2020/21, outscoring Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) by 90 points to 57 in that time.

That made Vardy’s rise to £10.5m – his highest starting price ever – all the more surprising.

The veteran scored on only four occasions in the final 24 Gameweeks, although did, in fairness, finish joint-top of the 2020/21 goals created charts with 14 assists.

James Maddison‘s up-and-down campaign sees him remain at £7.0m, with Kasper Schmeichel falling half a million to £5.0m.

Matty LongstaffMID£4.5
Callum WilsonFWD£7.5
Allan Saint-MaximinFWD£6.5
JoelintonFWD£6.0
Dwight GayleFWD£5.5

Callum Wilson (£7.5m) endured an injury-hit 2020/21 season but when he did play he averaged 5.2 points per game, the third-best mean among Fantasy forwards.

FPL have subsequently handed the former Bournemouth man a price rise of £1.0m, bringing him level with Watkins and Iheanacho.

We’ve not had many positional reclassifications this summer but Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.5m) is one, with the Frenchman’s late-season stint as part of a central front two influencing that decision from the game-makers at FPL.

Martin Dubravka joins the throng of goalkeepers available at £4.5m, while Matt Ritchie (£5.0m) is now a defender again after his recent spell at left wing-back.

SOUTHAMPTON

Goalkeepers: Alex McCarthy £4.5m, Fraser Forster £4.5m.

Defenders: Kyle Walker-Peters £5m, Jannik Vestergaard £5m, Jan Bednarek £4.5m, Jack Stephens £4.5m, Mohammed Salisu £4.5m.

Midfielders: James Ward-Prowse £6.5m, Stuart Armstrong £6m, Nathan Redmond £6m, Theo Walcott £6m, Moussa Djenepo £5.5m, Nathan Tella £5m, Ibrahima Diallo £4.5m, Will Smallbone £4.5m, Oriol Romeu £4.5m.

Forwards: Danny Ings £8m, Ché Adams £7m, Dan Nlundulu £4.5m, Michael Obafemi £4.5m.


Danny Ings has dipped in price to £8.0m following an injury-littered campaign, with just one million now separating him and strike partner Che Adams (£7.0m) following the latter’s hike.

Goalkeeping duo Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster remain as they were at £4.5m, with set-piece specialist James Ward-Prowse – who had his best-ever season for attacking returns and who finished ahead of Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling in the Fantasy points table – slightly pricier at £6.5m.

WATFORD

Ismaila Sarr (£6.0m) is the priciest Fantasy asset for Premier League new boys Watford, who return to the English top flight after a year away.

The Senegal international hit double figures for attacking returns in his last season in the top tier and found the net on 13 occasions in the Championship in 2020/21.

None of Watford’s Fantasy forwards reached the 10-goal mark last season, so it’s little surprise that not one of them will set FPL managers back more than £5.5m.

All of the Hornets’ backline cost £4.5m or less, including summer recruit Danny Rose (£4.5m).

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Raul Jimenez will mark his return from a serious head injury as a £7.5m forward, which marks a drop of a million pound on his starting price last season.

Pedro Neto (£6.5m) now costs one million more than Daniel Podence (£5.5m), with Adama Traore‘s (£6.0m) unproductive season seeing him fall slightly.

Jonny (£4.5m) is one of the stand-out names in the sub-£5.0m defender bracket but is currently working his way back from a long-term knee problem.

    Greenwood very tempting
    we need 6 midfielders this year

  2. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Template already formed

    48.5M

    Sanchez
    Taa-Shaw
    Bruno-Salah-Raphinha

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez will be a popular pick who lets everybody down, never gets any saves. 5.5 Emi will rake in 10 points MD1 and everyone will claim it's because of casuals.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I agree
        Sanchez will be a template as GK but its not even good as a second gk if Emi is your first

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Henderson is arguably a better value pick @ 5mln than Sanchez

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Just think Henderson isn’t a good fit for Man Utd, they need a big presence, Van Der Sar/Schmeicel type goalkeeper who is as good at concentrating & organising a defence & strong under crosses (which Henderson isn’t) not just a gifted shot stopper (which Henderson is) - small goalkeepers have never really worked out at old Trafford

        They couldn’t really keep cleansheets last season with Henderson there either (1 in his last 7 starts, and 4 in 12 starts altogether)

        With DDG still on the books both of them are an absolute no-go zone for FPL imo

  3. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    No curve balls or big surprises this year, except how Firmino stall gets priced at 9M :D.

    I think this season one can get a team set up well from scratch 15 minutes before GW1 deadline.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Still can’t get over 6.5 for Raphinia

      I’d actually consider Jota 7.5, Shaw 5.5, Sanchez 4.5, Bruno same price as Mane and 0.5 cheaper than Salah & Kane all pretty surprising but Raphinia taking the biscuit so far

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Raph will be the most owned player to start with
        Only injuries will drop him out of our teams

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh yes, very sweet price for Raph

  4. Rotation's Alter Ego
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Aston Villa up to the plate

    Martinez - GK - 5.5m
    Grealish - MID - 8.0m
    Watkins - FWD - 7.5m
    Mings - DEF - 5.0m

    https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1406899944427040771?s=20

    Brentford should be next.

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      like it.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Boom Watkins 7.5

      Grealish in every team (if he stays at Villa) with those fixtures

      Martinez scores 190 and gets 5.5, Pope scores 140 and gets 5.5 😆

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Very valid argument for the Mo pricing inconsistency btw. Especially the Son angle, but we will live with it and get him in GW1.

      2. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Pope would have outscored Martinez if not for the injury.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Call me unrealistic - but I don’t think Pope would have gotten 50 points from Man Utd, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle tbh

    3. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Adding to this:

      Buendia 6.5m
      Ashley Young 5m
      Cash, Targett, Konsa all 5m

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Buendia 6.5?! :O

      2. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/june/FPL-price-reveal-for-2021-22-season/

        It doesn't say what position Young is though, assume defender?

      3. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Buendia very tempting at that price

      4. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Targett @ 5m, hmmm

        1. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Right price imo, will start the season in my team I think if I triple up on villa.

  5. OLD Rafiki
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why is David even 5? Lol

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Presume incase Henderson gets injured or falls out of favour then they can't have his replacement as a 4.5

  6. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Does anybody know what 3rd place team goes in to the specific part of the draw?
    Netherlands could face Croatia or maybe even Portugal. Not sure what determines the team??

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's a complicated mechanism depending on which 4 groups go through. It's listed on this link at the bottom of the page. https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/026a-1290cbb79913-c5861b2a3aa0-1000--euro-2020-best-thirdplaced-teams-–-who-is-heading-through:

      1. Baked baines
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate

  7. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Have this feeling that Brighton defense won't be as good now Lamptey is back, they'll just resort to the way they were to start the season and conceding every game. Whilst he's good offensively he'll leave gaps down back

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I guess Lamptey will give something more but bright are a team, like a proper team effort so I guess they wont be affected that much

    2. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Brighton defence was not created for cs it was created for (chance creation, attacking threat and assists)

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I should've said before that I think Sanchez is still a very good option at 4.5, but I'm not expecting the Brighton defense that ended the season with that CS run and being statistically one of the best in terms of not allowing big chances. They may take a while to get back to that whilst working out how they'll play with a more attacking fullback again

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Were they even good without Lamptey?

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not once they confirmed safety but before then they were great value, they conceded very few shots/goals but also meant that Sanchez didn't make many saves so it was mostly CS or bust

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Statistically they were an elite defence believe it or not - up there with Man City & Chelsea, and above Liverpool & Man Utd

        Bonkers

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I would say they are perfect candidate for Home and Away rotation considering how they performed at home. Even in away games, they didnt concede much.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Or they could be even better if they play closer to their XGc and won’t have the goalkeeper uncertainty that plagued them in the first third of the season

      White, Dunk and Webster are solid and with Sanchez behind them/Bissouma (if he stays) in front of them sweeping up and covering for wingbacks they aren’t the worst defensive unit by any stretch

      Lamptey return could also help them defensively by getting them onto the front foot and taking pressure off the defence

      They somehow had the best XGc in the league after City & Chelsea which is just absolutely mental

  8. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Depay or KDB/Hazard for captaincy?

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      KDB

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depay

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depay

  9. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best (C) pick today please folks?

    Depay / Dumfries / KDB / Yeramchuk

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’m stuck on Depay or Dumfries, probably the latter if a strong team is put out

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depay or Kevin

  10. Is a strong template forming?
    Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    With those prices & fixtures - is anyone *not* starting with Watkins, Raphinia, Salah, Bruno, Sanchez and a Liverpool defender?

    That’s two thirds of most teams sorted already 😆

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah and Raphinha are 50-50, others are pretty much locked. Will add Leeds players from GW5.

    2. robredo10
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think I’m a little more interested in Sarr over Raphinha at the moment, especially when looking at the first 6, but I agree on the whole 🙂

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm really looking forward to him this year, Sarr I mean

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Need to add a City mid to that for GW2 which is going to be tough I guess.

    4. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bruno is not worth 12 mil

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I agree with this but those fixtures probably make him worth 12m. He won't be a fixed asset in my team though at that price unlike last season.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Why not out of interest?

        He has 361 points in his last 51 games… 60 more than Salah in that time period for example

      3. scubasmithy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think he is worth it - look at Sterling, KDB, Mane, Auba..... especially with those fixtures early on. Its not about an individual price, more what else you can get for the money.

        As for strikers - almost all of them look overpriced to me. 10.5 for Vardy- are you having a laugh!

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Those 6 and 2 City. Def and mid.

    6. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think Bruno maybe not. You can’t have more than 2 of Salah/KDB/Bruno. I’d rather have Salah and KDB to start with, as things stand.

      1. colby_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I think you can reasonably have Salah, KDB, and Bruno. I quickly put together a team that doesn't look awful:

        Sanchez, 4.0
        Digne, Coufal, Tierney, Lamptey, Fofana
        Salah, Bruno, KDB, 4.5, 4.5
        Watkins, Iheanacho, Toney

      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think a Fernandes regression is possible and 12m is a lot to pay. I might not go there. But all the others are pretty nailed on.

      Sanchez, Raphinha, Salah, Watkins are pretty enticing considering fixtures.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I also feel Rashford is yet again vastly overlooked. He had by his standards a fairly awful last season due to injuries and loss of form and still scored 175+ points.

        He's 9.5m compared to Bruno's 12m. If he can get fit for the start of the season I think he could surprise a lot of people. When he's fit he's a really good fantasy asset and even more so when he's classed as a mid not a forward.

        Just two seasons ago we bought him at 10m as a FWD.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Got so tired of owning Rashford last season, ridiculously frustrating player most of the time

          Unless you have the patience to hold him through 5,6,7,8 blanks I’d stay well clear or you just end up on the wrong end of his boom-bust cycles

          If he had pens & DFK’s (like he had before bRuNo) he’d be a great pick

          But at 9.5 you may as well pay the extra 0.5 for Son

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I'm definitely not overlooking him. He might make it into my squad. But, like Maximus, I was a really frustrated owner last year.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bizarrely there seem to be quite a few with those concerns all right

        Jjey has certainly gone down in the anti-Bruno notebook with his dismissal of him (to be revisited later in the season no doubt 😉 )

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I'll probably go template to start but I will not hesitate to drop him if better value assets start appearing. I don't really want to do heavy analysis right now though. Don't want to burn out by overtinkering in June. Better to focus for the last 2 or 3 weeks after enjoying the summer.

    8. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dunno on Watkins yet. Depends on other prices. Might want someone with better long term fixtures.

      But yeah, I can't see myself going without Salah, Bruno, Raphinha, Sanchez, TAA as it stands. New signings might change that of course.

      1. scubasmithy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2 years, 10 months ago

        This is exactly the type of well researched, well thought out, constructive and educational comment that makes FFS message boards exactly what they are today 🙂

        Leeds scored 62 goals last year, more than every team in the league bar the mancs, Spurs liverpool and leicester

        They scored 4 goals in their two games against liverpool, two goals away to man utd, and they also have burnley who they scored five goals in two games against

        Everton don't even have a manager 😆

          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          The opening fixtures are why I'm delaying bringing in the likes of Meslier and Llorente. But there's no reason to hold back on Raphinha.

    12. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No Raphinha for me unless he moves clubs. Not fancying his start.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Do you reckon they'll struggle to score or what?

        Leeds did score 2 at old trafford last year remember... they also scored 5 in 2 games against Burnley, and 3 at Anfield (with VVD).. and everton aren't exactly pulling up trees without a manager.. and Leeds attack was incredible all round last year relative to pretty much every other team in the league

        Have to say I'm just not getting the "Raphinia tough start" logic on that basis... not to mention he is arguably too god for Leeds & stands out like a sore thumb as being class nearly every time he plays - would slot in easily at any club in the league, including Man City

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          He is a great price, and will be in my team at some stage during the season, but they are tough fixtures and you can’t help but look at other players with much safer fixtures.

          As for whether he would get on for any other club. I can’t say I agree with that at all. Doesn’t get anywhere near City Liverpool United Chelsea starting XI.

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Would definitely do so for Man Utd. His competition for the RW is Daniel James and Greenwood.

    13. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      Waiting on Raph. Probably going Soucek for a while

    Feels like FPL is relaunching way too early doesn't it? Really feel like I'll be sick of it already by the time the season starts.

      Yessss. Antonio-Watkins-Toney should do the job pre-WC.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Dont think so, too expensive for someone I would rarely captain.

          If he is at Man City, then I'll consider him instead of Kevin.

      2. OLD Rafiki

        You forgot bam bam

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Toney seems a bit overpriced when compared to Bamford starting price last season. Looks like they have learnt their lesson of not giving us too many cheap options upfront like last season.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Remember Bamford got 16G 4A in the championship before last season

        Toney just got 31G 10A

        Two very different levels of output there so you’d expect two very different prices, no?

        1. JJeyy
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Toney took 9 pens last season though, We have seen strikers flop with similar records

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Toney could easily flop - won’t be going near him myself

            But the question was - in terms of him being 6.5 to Bamford’s 5.5 - Would you not expect a different price for a striker with 41 championship attacking returns (9 penalties) vs a striker with 20 (3 penalties)?

            Looks pretty logical to me

      Shame Dalsgaard has moved on, he would have been in my squad from the off. Wish Josh DaSilva was priced a little cheaper.

      1. 3 A
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I feel the same. Dalsgard is the best from their defence . Alioski Leeds gone too. 3 assist in last few games .

  13. Karan14

    Giving us full price lists and not opening the game is torture.

    1. CONNERS

      Do you not have any Euro FF teams to keep you occupied?

      I have 5 on the go.

    2. Drexl Spivey

      Bit condescending really, teasing out the prices like we're a bunch of kids waiting to storm Willy Wonka's factory.

      Just release the game already.

      Yarem

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Meunier. UKR and AUS will be low scoring.

    3. CONNERS

    Watkins at 7.5. Sexy price

  17. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DCL predicted price? Scored 3 less then Watkins so hopefully 7.5 but I assume theyll make him 8 out of potential

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If Bamford is 8 DCL will be at least 8.0

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bamford scored 30 more points

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think he'll be 8, possibly even 8.5 to match Ings and Jiminez prices from last season.

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ings score 35 more points than DCL did last season to get that price, Same with Jiminez - both in the 195 range, unlike DCL who score 165 this season. So 8 will be his max price.

      2. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I also think 8.5

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fair point, 8 sounds about right then.

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years

      Who to captain?

      A Eden Hazard
      B Yarmolenko
      C Malen
      D Dumfries
      E Meunier

      1. CONNERS
        • 5 Years

        If Haz starts as expected, I'd be tempted with him.

          None yet. Tends to come a little later, will post if we get it.

          Most teams recently have been, bar Spurs.

      2. CONNERS
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No interest in any Chelsea from me. Tuchel is nearly as bad as Pep with rotation.

      3. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Won’t be going there I don’t think. Unless chilwell is underpriced

      4. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh no, Chilwell and James are gonna be 6.5 arent they

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          James wasn’t even worth 5, items like FPL want everyone to have the same team this year

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I think Chilwell 6.5 and James 6.0

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Any interest in Dallas as a 5th mid?

      Obviously his reclassification limits his appeal, but could still be decent value at that price.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 10 months ago

          He'll do better than lundstram that's for sure

      2. Khalico
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Captain Dumfries or Yarmolenko?

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Yarmolenko

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Struggling to see any value in the forwards so far. Bamford, Antonio, Watkins, Wood priced about right. Toney and Pukki unknowns.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Auba potentially if he gets back to his scoring ways and no europe to worry about

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Based on last season's data, he's one of the worst value players in the game so far. For that price he'd need to be a captain option, which he is no where near being imo.

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              They couldn’t have priced him cheaper. The 2 seasons before, he scored over 200 points. I think in GW4, he is definitely a potential captain option.

        2. schlupptheweek
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          The PL team needs to get new forwards, the current ones are decent but they're just not exciting. It would of been fun if FPL made Salah a forward for 0.5M less.
          Hopefully Jimenez might be good on his return and Wilson trolls everyone with a great start to the season.

      4. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Who will play left back for Leeds?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          They were using 3-3-3-1 in last few games. Alioski was playing on left side, Ayling as LCB.

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Alioski will be out of contract

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Leeds change their formation depending on their opposition - Bielsa explained it in a lecture. He uses the "opposing formation" to optimise pressing.

            I'm sure they'll sign a left back. Dallas in midfield seemed to work well, so doubt Bielsa would want to move him back to LB.

      5. nutcase
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Any going to pick Dallas at 5.5 now that he is a midfielder and not a defender

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Not me

        Price prediction for Jack Harrison?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years

          Likely to be same as Raphinha, 6.5
