FPL team guide 2021/22 – Brighton and Hove Albion: Best players, stats and more

What price will he come in at, I wonder? 9.5?

I hope he tears it up in the Premier League this season along with Saka and Rashford!

Strange that it isn't official yet, and Fanteam added Sancho to Manu in their game like two weeks ago priced at 9

Surely doesn't start GW1?

Bit early to start the EO chat surely 🙂

Quite probably going without but don't regard it as a particularly "brave" move. Yes he did score last season but just the one and when it comes to defenders it's really takes a goal to hurt you - otherwise it's an annoying drip drip effect of lost returns as with Coufal say.

Fun fact: AWB scored twice on 4 more appearances and as such was arguably more explosive

If trends from last year are any indication, United will keep more CS in GW 9-14 (LIV, tot, MCI, wat, che, ARS) than GW 1-8.

Shaw owners will probably bench him against the "better" teams, forgetting that they usually set up for a 0-0 against these teams.

*for first 3 GWs

Yep Kane

Plenty.

Bruno

Yeah. Kane and Son here.

Mahrez and Havertz so no big deal really.

Not a fan tbh. Very weak up front, I like Toney as a pick but has to be considered a risk and is King even nailed? You have two non playing fodder and Lamptey is an injury risk. I'd downgrade Ederson to 4.5 and upgrade King at least.

I think shifting Ederson out for a 4.5 gk and upgrading King is the way to go. And Forster is a waste of money with Ederson your main keeper. When will u realistically play him over the Man City keeper

Fofona/Lamptey

Irresistible.

He's in training. Good to go. It is a tasty rotation. No one other than me seems to be going for another rotation - Sanchez and Meslier.

Toincoss

Monitor Fofona during the CS, as Leicester may go 4 atb with Barnes back, and then its Evans, Soyuncu and Fofona fighting for 2 spots

Fofana is not even remotely nailed with Soy back.

10m

11.5-12M for me. Others say far less.

Wait, what?!

11/11.5

10.5-11.5

If he costs 150m he’ll be 12.5

~12.0 I'd say.

12

Former is sext

Easy B

Have to see how Spurs set up first

Near certain? what changed?

Why Bachmann and Traore?

A bit different with Fabs in goal. Think Cavani will get decent minutes?

Yes

Alisson getting broken, conceding seven? Nope, don't see lightning striking twice. I'm on TAA/VVD myself for now.

I'd like to see how they settle with Van Dijk, but given the opening fixtures and VVD's eye for goal, he would be tempting.

Don't fancy Robbo at all.

I think it will be a good decision given that Pool have recruited a new CB and VVD is back. I may even triple up until I wildcard.

extremely

I think you already know the answer.

Yes it is.

I currently have no bench. But that will probably change before the season starts.
I have TAA and Salah and wouldn't get another Liverpool attacker in just yet. Robbo or VvD might become important soon.

I was going to start with Mahrez and do similar but went with Gundo instead and upgraded the bench.

Jota was also in my initial draft but wasn't impressed with him at the Euro's and factor in rotation, much better to get the extra funds for Salah.

You'll be wheeling out the wildcard in GW2/3

Son’s a solid GW3 captain option. Mahrez isn’t captainable imo, too low goal involvement even when he plays

Mahrez. He's cheaper and Spurs are a wait and see for me under Nuno.

Middle of September right?

Spurs might possibly take their competition seriously - very much doubt it - it's a route into Europa way down the line.

Europa proper starts around week 5.

Sorry here....

Similar thoughts except I'm thinking of this choice on my current set up of 2 premiums plus one.

Bruno plus Son
Kane plus Sancho

Question marks for different reasons over both Kane and KdB of course so it's very much wait and see.

Just wonder if avoiding Bruno is kind of like going broke trying to save money

He's a season wrecker if utd hit their straps - in his time in the league he's been more destructive than 95% of what we've seen from Salah since his 300 point season

For my money, the Man Utd "Meta" this saeson will be:

1. Ole rotating his embarassment of riches in the front 3 positions (Cavani, Martial, Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, Pogba)
2. Man Utd going up another gear in attack to 80+ goals scored (vs. last seasons 73)
3. Bruno playing his FPL "vacuum cleaner" role behind the rotating attackers - i.e. just hoovering up goal involvements (and the baps that come with) week after week after week

Question marks over Pogba's presence being a good thing or not for sure, and the end of season form certainly wasn't stellar...

But personally I think that was more tiredness - from Ole doing stupid things like playing him on thursday night second leg europa league games with a 4-0 first leg advantage etc

And even through all that he still popped up with 2 goals in his last 4 appearances - that's what an off form Bruno does... when he's rested and on form?

He will ruin your life

B

D of those I think - though I'm sceptical of Fofana being sufficiently nailed.

Doubting DCL and not a fan of Dias on week 1 budget. Slot Bamford into B and then I might go that way.

D

Haven't seen him play yet. VVD has a goal threat. Does Konate?

Completely missed this transfer. Just had to look up who he was!

I was just thinking Gomez could be a good shout this year. Looks like it might be difficult to predict who Klopp's CB to partner VVD will be.

Replied in the wrong spot I think.

He's the same height at VVD... so he should have some threat ... but never scored more than 1 in a season before.... so extra 1.0m for the nailed CB would be where I'd go.... better 5.5s about IMO like Digne, Shaw, Maguire.

I think he'll start regularly enough, but a 'wasted' Liverpool spot I think...

Iheanacho

Both preferably plus Raphinha

Bamford has pens and got 28 returns in 38 appearances

Leeds score 60+ goals, not far off a champions league attack

1. Could well be right, but that role could go to Sterling. Forres will be competing with Mahrez for the IR position too. Could be worth a gamble if you have strong bench cover, but on the other hand if he gets late sub appearances you're stuck with one-pointers.

2. At Brighton he'd be gold, but talk is mostly either Villa or Hammers. That would mean job-sharing with Watkins or Antonio.

3. Maybe. Need to see how spuds fare early doors.

4. 3rd or 4th choice now.

Reply fail to sirmorbach Nacho question

I don't see Daka coming in on GW1 and cementing a spot ahead of Nacho. I see Nacho nailed early doors and Daka maybe starting in Europa and Carabao ties before he plays much PL football - and that might be at the expense of a fading Vardy anyway.

It is a bit odd, but maybe partly because Barnes is back.

12.6% is a reasonably high number I would have thought.

I can see the potential appeal, but I was stung by him last season. He seems to be a streaky player and hasn't probably lived up to his potential in terms of scoring FPL points.

Highly likely to be outscored by 5-10x player cheaper than him imo

Season end performance was poor

How good a pick is he for FPL? Might be wrong but I don't think he gets in the box all that much.

Joining Arsenal

Looks good. Solid.

Only thing I'm not personally to keen on is GK. I just don't know if Martinez will be worth 5.5mil this season. If spending 9.5m on keepers, I'd honestly be tempted to go with Henderson and Sanchez.

It looks very solid indeed. Schmeichel would be a fine alternative, and it would allow you a further playing 4.5 defender.

You must know something about Watford's goalkeepers that I don't; i can't see a reason for favouring them over Brighton. Cancelo might be an expensive Peptation candidate. Otherwise, I'd say it's very good.

makes sense. Safe.

It is. Not many with Bamford actually.

Mine in this format.

Sanchez
TAA Shaw Digne
Salah Bruno Raph Sarr
Watkins Nacho Bamford

Foster Lamptey Gilmour Williams

Bench needs to be stronger imo. VVD may not be fit for start of season.
