FPL team guide 2021/22 – Crystal Palace: Best players, stats and more

Our team-by-team guide to the new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season continues with this preview of Crystal Palace.

It is the end of an era at Selhurst Park, with Roy Hodgson’s departure as manager preceding 11 first-team players effectively leaving the club after contracts ended – though Christian Benteke (£6.5m) and Joel Ward (£4.5m) did pen new deals this summer.

The Eagles were relatively comfortable in their bid to remain in the Premier League last season, finishing 14th on 44 points.

Despite being thought of as defence-first unit under Hodgson, only relegated side West Brom (76) and Southampton (68) conceded more goals than Crystal Palace (66) in 2020/21.

The New Vi-era

If Hodgson was a defensively-minded coach, the signs are that new manager Patrick Vieira will focus more on attack.

However, his Nice side were based on possession and being hard to break down rather than any sort of offensive verve.

You can read a full profile of the former Arsenal midfielder via the link below:

Shots34918th
Shots in the box22418th
Shots on target13116th
Big chances4619th=
Expected goals (xG)34.4919th

The attacking numbers from last season will not make for pretty reading in Vieira’s Palace in-tray.

One positive in terms of going forward was that penalty taker Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) had his best goalscoring campaign in 2020/21, netting on 11 occasions including two spot-kicks.

Just three of those were scored from January onwards, however, with the Ivory Coast international missing a month’s action in February due to injury.

Zaha logged just two regular assists over the campaign, though did rack up an ‘expected assists’ (xA) figure of 3.85.

Creative design

Palace’s top assister (eight) from last season was Eberechi Eze (£6.0m), who will not be back in action anytime soon after rupturing his Achilles in May.

Eze created more chances than any other Eagles player last season but some context is needed: his minutes-per-key pass average (60) was inferior to 50 other Fantasy midfielders.

Recruitment is, unsurprisingly, going to be one of Vieira’s biggest tasks during pre-season. Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said on July 4:

We have a lot to do to prepare in the coming weeks and I look forward to working closely with Patrick and Dougie (Freedman) in bringing in some new faces to help us all to a successful season.

One new face already in the door is Michael Olise (£5.5m). In 46 Championship appearances for Reading last season, the attacking midfielder scored seven times and notched 12 assists.

“I had a conversation with the manager and he was talking about how he sees me in the team: the plans, the development and the vision for the club. It’s very good, so I thought it was a good fit.” – Michael Olise

With a paper-thin squad and a lack of creators at the moment, Olise could be expected to make the Premier League step-up from the off at Selhurst Park.

“I think [my role] is to make him do what he’s doing best: enjoying his football on the field, scoring goals, going forwards and playing with personality. He’s got that in his locker.

“I think it’s important to refresh the squad: to bring some new faces, to bring young talent to this football club. This is a really good signing for us. Of course, there will be more signings coming.” – Patrick Vieira

    Looking at those horrific stats, it's pretty impressive that Palace stayed up

      Made it, Ma! Top of the page!

        Oh Judge Dredd.

        Well done, better than all this Pompey malarkey.

  2. shapply

    2 years, 8 months ago

    Did some changes... again, but I really like it:

    Sanchez (4.0)
    Digne, TAA, Dias (4.0, 4.0)
    Salah, Raphinha, Fernandes, Jota (4.5)
    Watkins, Toney, Antonio

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If you like it good for you, I'd downgrade Dias and Dignr for bit more balance - you will not get 2 x even occasionally playing 4.0m defenders.

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

        w sumie to nie liczę na 2 grających obrońców, nie na tym etapie. ta 3 obrońców powinna zagrać łącznie jakieś 9000 minut, jeśli będą zdrowi

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Tierney - 5.0m, Shaw - 5.5m, White w Arsenalu za 4.5m.

          Osobiscie wolalbym miec jakiegos rezerwowego ktory ma szanse grac w obronie. Z opcji za 4.0m moze Duffy dostanie jakies minuty po za tym slabo wiec warto sie zastanowic nad zamiana Dias'a albo Digne'a na kogos tanszego.

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

            generalnie nie ufam Arsenalowi, ale White 4.5 rzeczywiście jakąś opcją jest. przy wyborze Shawa/Wan-Bissaki za Diasa, zostaje 0.5 na wzięcie White'a za obrońcę 4.0. wtedy z kolei czuję jakiś niepokój z powodu nieposiadania zawodnika City (może Gundo za Jote?)

            1. el polako
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Shaw za Diasa plus 0.5 jest naprawde warte rozwazenia.

              Jesli idzie o City to zyczylbym sobie zeby to byl piwerszy pelny sezon Fodena.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I’d do Dias > 5.5 and upgrade one of your 4.0 defenders to a 4.5.
      Otherwise I like it.
      Solid front.

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

        it's an option to downgrade Dias to Shaw/Wan-Bissaka/Reece James (and upgrade 4.0 def to 4.5 one), but then I'm worried cause I won't have any Man City players

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough.
          I’d be worried about 0 playing bench players potentially but those defenders should start every game.
          If you get a playing 4.5 mid they can replace Jota if he’s rotated I suppose.

          It’s a strong team for sure.

          1. el polako

            Billy Gilmour.

              2 years, 8 months ago

              or Brownhill, or Bissouma. Maybe in the next weeks there will appear next 4.5 playing mid

              1. el polako

    For how long is Ricardo Pereira injured for?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      He's not - he's in training.

  4. riot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else interested in Reguilón? You'd expect him to start and he had reasonable numbers last year and gets forward a lot

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Was in awful form from the turn of the year, but yeah maybe he could get back to his best as a LWB under Nuno

    2. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I've got my eye on the Nuno-Doherty reunion for sure.

  5. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    How many duds are people thinking?

    4.0 def, 4.5 mid, 4.5 fwd?

    I only have one (fwd) and am thinking maybe im being too careful.

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If a starting 4.0 defender arises, then that trio will be fine.

      If not, it's pretty risky, especially given that the 4.5 forward might not even get 1 point when you want it.

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Coufal/5m and Williams/4m
    B) Lamptey/4.5m and White/4.5m

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

      probably A, toss a coin xD

  7. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Wonder how much they price Kris Ajer at, ball playing centre half one of the main players at Celtic, sad to see him go, not as good as Van Dijk but can certainly see him moving to a higher level within a few seasons

  8. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of getting Robertson for TAA to squeeze another 0.5 into my Midfield. Thoughts?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, rather get both.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not a bad idea

  9. Flynny

    Bee. Doing my first bout of serious tinkering today.....landed on this lot....can I have some views please? Especially on the forward line......thanks

    Bachman Foster
    Taa shaw ayling lamptey fofana
    Salah bruno raphinha buendia 4.5m
    Dcl cavani toney

    Thanks

    1. R.C

      Why Bachmann

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      For me I’d rather to a 4.5 fwd than Toney and upgrade that 4.5 mid.

      Have seen a few with Cavani - think it’s a good move with Rashford out. And easy to move to the hot 7.5 player if needed.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.....lamptey seems the best 4.5m defender and don't want to double up on Brighton

        There seem to be loads of good striker options so think I want 3 starters.....cheers

    1.0 ITB. Torres > Gundogan? 😀

    Sanchez
    Shaw Tierney(c) Lamptey
    Mahrez Foden Torres Grealish ESR
    Cavani Watkins

    Steele | Kane, Ayling, Reguilon

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years

      Tierney captain ? Is this a mistake ? Lot of unreliability and rotational players.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        And a bench to handle it 🙂

        Tierney is captain material. All Arsenal fans know it!

        1. One Man
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          When Toney scores a brack in GW1 all Arsenal fans will know about that too!!

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            I don't have Tierney for his CSs!

            1. One Man
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              He got 8 clean sheets last season. He only had 5 goal involvements. Your logic is as bonkers as your team selection. Tierney better score a brace to make up for the 5/6 of your players that will start on the bench!!

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                Oh so he might get a CS? Okay well maybe I do have him for his CSs then.

                Which players will start on the bench please? And which will have a cameo?

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      This can't be a serious draft

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No Pool? Kane on bench? 1mil banked?
      Shocker

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Lol. If those are your best arguments, then I'm even more satisfied for now 🙂

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          We both know you’ll chance this a lot before the start

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            People say that to me every year. Such a lack of imagination. Yeah I might do, I might now. I'd only go for this team or similar if Kane and Grealish go to City and lock the team in. It's just a concept, and at the end of the day, I'll need to pick one of the concepts to move forward with. Enjoy your template season

      I'm not a fan of having five City players. Just asking for a postponed game

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        That would be an issue!

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        McCarthy Bachmann
        Trent Tierney Dias Castagne Taylor
        Salah Havertz Torres Raphinha Sarr
        Toney Bamford Iheanacho

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I like the Castagne pick. Quite a lot of defenders I want at 5-5.5, so I tended towards the 5.0 for the extra cash. Dias, I've never understood the appeal of ersonally.

          Could you rationalise Torres for me? So I can use that same rationale for myself? Thanks 😀

    5. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      this is crazy, but I kinda love it. I've also got edinson in my current draft. How confident are you that he'll start the first few at least?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I don't really have a confidence level for you, but luckily, I reckon he's one of best FPL options off the bench. Easy trade downwards if necessary (although this team would need have sell City players first).

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good to be perfectly honest.

      Wouldn't go without Trent or Salah myself, but I still like it!

  11. R.C

    Hey all - first ever comment. Thoughts appreciated:

    Sanchez sub: Foster

    Trent Robbo Digne Lamptey sub: Ayling

    Bruno Salah Buendia Maddison sub: Harrison

    Wilson Welbeck sub: 4.5

    0.5 ITB

    Plan to rotate Brighton and Leeds outfield players based on fixture

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Congratulations on first post. Welcome. This is definitely one of the better more though out team selections I’ve come across. I like your rotation plan, could work a blinder.

      1. Runnerboy31
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate - Maddison currently a slight placeholder but definitely an option. Purposefully avoiding England players in case they aren’t immediately back up to speed

        1. One Man
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I like Maddison and Barnes tbh. Leicester score a lot of goals and those 2 are the main man tiring it all together.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      What's the plan when Welbeck get his compulsory injury ?

      1. Runnerboy31
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Lack of over 6m options an issue but probably save a transfer and move up to 7.5 and downgrade elsewhere. And if Toney as good as people think then I have the 0.5 ITB.

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Another cheap gem may have been discovered by the time an injury occurs.

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Best 2 rotating 4 5m defenders?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      4.5m*

    2. Runnerboy31
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve personally gone for the lamptey / Ayling rotation.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I could make an argument for playing those two every week.

  14. shakeyjake
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts? No City which is my only worry...

    Sanchez
    Shaw TAA Digne
    JWP Salah Buendia Fernandes
    Toney Watkins DCL

    Gunn | Lamptey, Fofana, Bissouma

    1. Runnerboy31
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I like it - I think Lamptey and fofana rotate well as first subs. Personally think there are better options than JWP and double Villa could be a risk given how quickly fixtures turn - depends how fixture focused you are.

      1. shakeyjake
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Watkins always seems to do well despite the fixtures, Buendia could go after GW3... JWP is a tricky one, considered Torres/Foden with downgrade elsewhere but its pep roulette... Maybe Raph?

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nice ....looks good...not seen much jwp but would seem to be a steady option

      I guess double villa attack is doable for those first few games

    3. Runnerboy31
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      You could combine all this and actually play Lamptey or fofana each week, downgrade Watkins or Buendia to bench fodder and Mahrez for JWP - there’s your city player.

      1. shakeyjake
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I had something similar before but Mahrez always feels like a trap and can see some cancellations in first few weeks so worried about bench...

        1. Runnerboy31
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah makes sense. With Foden sterling and Torres all reaching at least semis my guess is mahrez gets plenty of early minutes - could be wrong though.

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I think Buendia, JWP, Toney, Bissouma just don’t feel that exciting with upside to me.
      But also they could all be solid and perfect, so what do I know?

  15. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    No Bruno team.

    Meslier, 4.0
    TAA, Shaw, Digne, 4.5, 4.0
    Salah, Havertz, Grealish, Jota, Raphinha
    Cavani, Watkins, 4.5

    0.5 itb

    Love the flexibility in the midfield with an 8.5, 8.0, 7.5 and change in the bank. Can move to any of the hot mids just about.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Lovely team in general. Don't understand the Havertz pick, and I would spend that 5.5 to get the Lamptey-Ayling rotation going or something, albeit rotating for first sub. I had too many weeks with only 7-10 players last season, even with 2 or 3 bench players I thought would play, so that's probably haunting me when looking at people's teams, and my own.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        0.5*

      2. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah you might be right about the extra defender.

        Havertz may end up as Mahrez(need the extra 0.5), Foden, Torres, Greenwood, Pepe etc. a lot depends how the transfers work out by the time the season starts.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Swings and roundabouts.

      You lose Bruno’s points, but you gain Grealish and Havertz.

      That’s the thing, though, are you gaining more by downgrading Bruno or are you actually losing points on the deal? Nobody knows at this stage.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years

        true true.

        it’s nice to see what the differences are. i think that MU’s off-season should make a big difference. Do they get a DM? Where does Pogba line up? How does Sancho fit in?
        Seems lots of way that could change how Bruno is involved.

      Good team. I presently have no Bruno, and I love the quality the extra money brings. Are you comfortable with your C options? That has been my concern without Bruno.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Haven’t put too much thought into that part of it. But Salah, Salah, Grealish covers the first three easy enough. Will learn heaps by then.

        1. Sergeant Slaughter

          Cavani is too tricky for me

      I have had 'No Bruno' until today.... the gamble on Havertz and Cavani to match him is going to be fun to watch!

    Thoughts?

    Sanchez - Foster
    Robbo - Shaw - Digne - White - 4.0
    Salah - Bruno - Barnes - Raph - 4.5
    Antonio - Watkins - Wilson

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      White is a wait and see. But everything else looks V good. Not totally convinced by Watkins either. But it’s a personal preference.

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Really like the look of this 343 with rotating 4.5m defenders

    Sanchez
    TAA Robbo Lamptey
    Salah Bruno Raph Buendia
    DCL Toney Watkins/Antonio

    Steele Ayling Gilmour Manquillo

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Very solid. Antonio or Wilson over Watkins.

    2. space mercenary
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Similar to my current selection.
      Buendida to ESR allows for a defender upgrade though.

    Penny for your thoughts

    1. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty solid.

      Nacho with Daka and Barnes around isn't nailed?

      Cancelo a calculated gamble that I like.

      Good team though, I like it.

      1. One Man
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Are Nacho and Barnes competing for the same position? I currently have both!!

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Like the bet on Cancelo. Him and Zinchenko interest me.

  19. sirmorbach

    So, Jimi played again today. Interesting...

    1. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      34 mins against Crewe....

      Some players they've had..... David Platt, Dean Ashton, Neil Lennon, Rubbish Savage...big Ash Westwood and Danny Murphy

      Easy to 'wait and see' with Jiminez given their fixtures - never an explosive player anyway so can't imagine he's in many GW2 squads

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Dunno about GW2 squads, but can easily see Watkins ➡️ Jiménez for GW4 giving those managers a nice opening run...

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Hope he’s back doing great. That headgear is serious looking too!

    Thoughts on this squad welcome
    (assumes Grealish stays at Villa)

    Sanchez
    TAA Fofana Digne
    Salah Bruno Grealish Jota Raphinha
    Watkins Toney

    Foster Lamptey Ayling Davis

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      White instead of Fofana

  21. Boberella
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    No love for Burnley Def, Lowton as a 4.5 4th def option? Fixtures aren’t too bad bar Liverpool in GW2.
    Any specific reason why they’re being overlooked?

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I had him when I had a 5 x 4.5 million defenders draft, I guess not many are going down that route so they're not putting him ahead of the Lampty/Ayling/ Fofana group. Though I see White and Coady are both hovering around Ayling's ownership % as well

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, seems Lamptey is the most popular on here. Not overly sure why really. Although he was great to watch when he played last season, he didn’t exactly set the world on fire points wise. Not sure how that would change this year. He’s a tackle magnet too.

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I'm not a Lampty fan either
          Never owned him last season and was always a sweat on here every time he played as just about everyone was raving about him all game, then he got his bad injury.
          Will keep an eye on him this season though, may end up with him if he returns big

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Don’t underestimate the power of Lamptey. Very exciting player. Think he was in the top 3 for most touches in the opposition box while he was fit amongst defenders last season

  22. Ronnies

    3.4.3 Beast Team!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Like this team- only issue is with 2 mids at 6.5 m difficult to jump onto Grealish/Jota or other 7- 8.5 mids that might start season well

      1. Ronnies
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Tnks mate.
        Agree on the mid priced mids.

  23. Vamos Los Celeste
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Hi everybody
    1st draft of the season

    Sanchez (Foster)
    Robbo Dias Doherty White (4.0)
    Salah KDB Bruno Sarr ESR
    Watkins/ (4.5,4.5)

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      It’s different! Nice power 3 MIDs.
      4-5-1 not a formation I go with. Zero bench cover though, which I’m not a fan of

    2. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      You have 3 non playing bench players, not sure that's worth fitting in your 3 big hitters in mid. What happens if doherty or white get rotated? Probably worth downgrading dias to a 5.5 like stones or shaw to upgrade you 4.0 def to a playing 4.5 at the very least.

  24. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Should have signed Bonucci instead of Ben White. Bonucci at 15m for 2-3 seasons would do a better job.

    White does not worth 50m imo

  25. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    This is where I’m at now -

    Sanchez - 4m
    TAA - Digne - Tierney - Fofana - Manquillo
    Salah - Bruno - Jota - ESR - Bissouma
    DCL - Watkins - Wilson

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not too many punts pundit.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Want to start safe

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure of Jota, ESR. They could do well tho. Also not a fan of Arsenal’s defence. Think you should monitor the situation with Digne, injured during the Euros. Tierney to Lamptey & upgrade elsewhere if you need to

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        It’s the arsenal fixtures that’s luring me in

        Not a fan myself

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Nice team...

      Would you consider TAA ➡️ Robertson if you needed £0.5m?

  26. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez or Bachman
    Harrison or Raphina?

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez, Raphinha

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks mate. I do prefer Raphina...may just come down to the money.

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Keane, Reguilon or Tierney?

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Would be a brave pick to choose Regullion with that opening fixture...

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers guys, currently on Reguilon see how he starts , could switch to Tierney gwk4 if he isn't playing well

  28. Boberella
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Probably Reguillon. Depends how Nuno sets up. Could be a great pick.

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Reply fail to Dynamic Duos

  29. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I have nailed it.

    Sanchez
    Chilwell Castagne Lamptey
    Salah(C) Sterling Mahrez Buendia
    Iheanacho Wilson Toney

    Bachmann Fofana Doherty Gilmour

    If Sterling is a no for GW 1 I could simply do Sterling > KDB + Doherty > 4.5. I have .5 ITB

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Pep roulette could pay off and you do have a bench plus something different.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Congrats on the team!

  30. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    On this atm. Thinking Son is a good place holder for the next best things in mids if he does not fire/gives flexibility.

    Sanchez - Foster
    Robbo – Fofana – Ayling – White - Coady
    Bruno – Salah – ESR - Son - Gilmour
    Watkins - Toney – Bam

    Do you like it?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I like Son as a starting point to move down from. (Or stay of course)
      Toney + Gilmour v 4.5 + Raphinha/Buendia/Bowen etc is interesting.

      Think that having the money in the mids is easier to move around - if Toney fails it’s 2 moves to upgrade him or 1 to downgrade to nothing. If that makes sense.

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Except for ESR. Would downgrade one def and upgrade him.
