fair enough but Haaland is a goal scoring beast

Won't be that surprising when you end up with a 7 figure rank

If you downgrade Salah to a 4.5 as well you’ll be able to do even more

For me, it lacks 2 from the BIG TWO (and only 6 players from the top 6), and is full of mediocrity. It screams 'early wildcard'.

Antonio is big avoid, fell of a cliff last year & West Ham have to sign a new striker

I've been reading on here, people aren't very confident in Bruno, he's likely to drop deeper long term

It’s really not that bad as some reactions you got… Play it like you want and don’t let groupthinking affect your choices.

That team doesn't look worth it not going for Haaland.

Christ alive: so we’re at the stage where someone’s draft is getting ripped to shreds because it’s not template enough? In June? Before the game has launched or prices revealed? What?!

It’s a nice team mate: if you like it then good for you, never mind what the no days off brigade think.

Firmly believe all 3 will be essential:

Salah & Son definitely
Then one of Kane/Haaland to rotate throughout the season

Just one premium mid/fwd this season. Hope you pick the right one at the right time.

Sign in to your account and click the edit option on your Gravitar image, the auto-renewal is at the bottom of the page but the amount that will be taken is not stated which is confusing because it could be anything from £15 depending on when you signed up (mines £17.50).

Yeah gonna be awkward if they sign all these.attacking players and then flop because of a bad defence

I think Jesus looks like it’s happening & Raphinha is 50/50.

Leaving Raphinha out of the mix Arsenal front 6 could be one of these options

Full on attack

Partey
Ode Vieira
Saka Jesus Marti/ESR

More defensive

Partey Xhaka
Ode
Saka/Vieira Jesus Marti/ESR

Xhaka could be Tielemans (CM) or Martinez (LFB & CM) if signed

With Raphinha I can see this attacking line up more so against non top 6 teams

Partey
Ode Vieira
Raphinha Jesus Saka

If Raphinha signs then this will impact Martinelli & ESR’s minutes for sure

Yeah they definitely need full back cover to not rely on Cedric or tavares, they need a DM because of Partey and they definitely need a striker, or 2!

If they can add zincenko, Jesus, raphina, tielemans to Vieira it's a great window. Raphina does seem a bit too pricy atm though

Arteta going down the pep and klopp no main striker tactic and lots of attacking players to rotate, ironically just when both of them sign typical strikers

Romeu - 4.5m

do you want them to make your lunch for you as well?

Agreed would be helpful

people would just not engage until that date though I imagine - they could create a 'guess-the-prices' mini-game to keep people occupied and then use that data to decide the actual prices haha

Thanks for listening FPL Twitter!

when Juuuu-uuuune ends

when he first joined he looked like he might be an absolute world beater. I think there is a very good player in there, just needs the system and the minutes.

How has he been at City for five and a half years?? I'd swear it was like 3 max. He really needs to move to fulfil his early potential.

Is he gunna get as many tap ins from low crosses as he gets with city? He’s a good poacher but I can’t see him being a target man or a playmaker who takes shots from range.

Ha, I've been thinking this myself. Not actually brilliant at anything, I'm not sure he's fit to lead an attack for a top team.

One of those where people only think he's not fulfilling his potential because of his club/injury record etc when actually, he doesn't do THAT MUCH when he plays.

He's a good player, more importantly he would fit into arsenal really well. I see him as a better Laca really, very similar attacking stats too in terms of goals and assists

No I think he’s pretty good, just isn’t a prolific forward.

Only Aguero/Henry have a higher G/A per min. Reckon he can push for 15-20 G’s if deployed as the main ST.

He’s a decent player, but not a world beater, arguably less impressive than I recall Iheanacho being when he played for Man City

I suspect any 4.5 defenders at those 2 clubs will be heavily rotated and therefore unreliable starters. You'll need 5.0s for that.

I think it depends on which way round arsenal’s double gameweeks go round for those Tuesday kickoffs.

I'm expecting them both to be 5.0m, which would be an expensive rotating pair.

just noticed that the Newcastle fixtures are actually much better than I first thought (was only looking at first 5 fixtures before) - maybe just going with Trippier and playing him against City/Liverpool is an option if on all set-pieces

Depends who you ask. I don’t think so

Nowhere near, and more importantly the style of play has very very few teams that park the bus or play with a low block so while the football is fun it can fool you into thinking a player is better than he actually is

That said a good player is a good player, haaland is a good player but will he need a brief period of adjustment? Possibly not as city create so much but who knows

I would say that the standard at the very top is comparable, but thereafter the Premier League standard declines more slowly.

Look up Tifo football's video on 'Bundesliga Tax'

Premier League fans' attitudes to other European leagues tend to be a bit patronising, and attitudes to the Bundesliga (including that purely stats-based 'Bundesliga tax' video) are a case in point.

Bayern Munich's dominance is a sign of the financial imbalance caused across Europe by Champions League money, but it isn't a sign that the rest of the league is 'tin-pot'. Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europa League despite only finishing eleventh in the Bundesliga this year, and I'd argue that a match between lower-division such as Burnley and FC Augsburg would be very close to call.

I'd also take the tactical awareness of your average German top-flight player over that of a home-grown English player any day of the week. Jonathan Harding's book on the German coaching and youth development system ('Mensch: Beyond the Cones') explains this well - there's a reason why Jude Bellingham, Jaden Sancho and other young talents chose to develop their skills in Germany. There are more first-team opportunities, more responsibilities at a younger age, and also a greater emphasis on tactical flexibility and self-responsibility.

The problem is that Premier League clubs are often clueless at getting the best out of the Bundesliga players that they sign, with an insistence on shoehorning them into the wrong position. Timo Werner plays best alongside (and just behind) a number nine such as Patrik Schick in a 4-2-2-2; Kai Havertz was most effective as a number 10, behind Kevin Volland in a 4-2-3-1. Chelsea bafflingly signed both players, although integrating them both successfully into the same team formation always seemed logically impossible.

West Ham signed Sébastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt who had flourished alongside a second forward and played him as a loan striker. He's been lethal at Ajax since then, with 32 goals in 50 games. Having scored in all six Champions League stage matches this season, Haller has been strongly linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund.

As for Jaden Sancho (of whom I've never been a huge fan), Man United has been a graveyard of imported midfield talent in recent times. Sancho joins Shinji Kagawa, Ángel Di María and others as examples of players who have not felt at home in a procession of managers and team formations.

In short: Bundesliga players are over-priced when they move to England because German club officials know that well-heeled Premier League clubs will pay far more than teams from other leagues would do. This doesn't make them bad players, or negate the quality of the Bundesliga itself.

No - but he does have a history of injuries

I said Werner would be a flop even though he was super popular on here, but Haaland just seems to have more strings to his bow, and is also going into a great team; think he could put up Aguero-type FPL numbers but I guess it's possible he takes a few weeks to get going properly

Yes

No, but as others have pointed out, last season he had a few injury issues. Historically though his injury record is fine.

As an FPL asset he might, but he'll be massively important to City in close games against rivals

There is no way you can change you credit card details unfortunately. Emailed Geoff a few weeks ago and he said it wasn’t possible .
Seems a massive mistake by FFS to be honest. Allows you to shop around for the best deal at the time like using FF Hub

Same issue here- guess that means won’t renew at discounted price so to continue will need to pay full price

My problem is I cancelled my auto renew , because I want to know what is the price first. Seems I can't re subscribe though rightnow. Maybe because ny initial subscription needs to end first and it has not ended yet.

Of course he can but neither psg Liverpool or city play a low block, that's where the output may lessen compared to bundesliga, on the other hand city have more talented creators so maybe it evens out

The question isn't will he do well or not, it's how well will he do and will he be worth the (fpl) price

His good European record is certainly a good argument that the Bundesliga tax may not be much of a factor with him, also note that 2 of Dortmund's 3 losses in the CL (resulting in them getting knocked out) as well as their loss and draw v Rangers in the EL all happened when he was injured.

PREMIER LEAGUE RECORDS!!

I'd be surprised if he ends the season with fewer the 30 goal contributions

Why, what have they done now?

If they are being distracted by clowns performing no wonder they aren't launching the game.

They are taking a piss at millions of clowns cursing them for not launching a game

In all seriousness, they've been moving towards earlier launches and seem to want to maximise engagement in the off-season, so this does make me think some big changes are coming this year.

Neto is an interesting one. Should be decently priced given last season, and should be nailed on given how awful Podence and Hwang were.

But will Wolves score enough goals? And will they sign a new forward?

Neto over Bruno , Wissa/Harrison over Mbuemo

Is this for real? Looks almost too good to have enough cash for.

I see the value in defenders but don't the likes of DCL, Ings, Watkins, Antonio, Wilson, Toney, Jimenez, Bamford, Richarlison etc. in that 7-8m price pool make you worried? I think 5-4-1 could be quite inflexible in that regard

I highly doubt this team will be affordable in FPL.

I would love the deadline to be after line-ups are announced

Yeah, more deadlines over the GW sounds good. That'll wipe the smiles off those bloody casual's faces! 😀

I’d like for me (but only me) to get unlimited budget. And maybe for all of my players to get double points rather than just the captain.

I’d like to see a maximum number of transfers per season/month.
Also means your team couldn’t be screwed with

One player from each team.

Yes looking at something very similar with most of these players ( based on live fpl prices) except scratching my head to fit in Kulusevski in ahead of Ødegaard which is not possible without downgrade to Watkins or Chilwell

Very nice team and price points. Just not sure about Odegaard.

Notice you’ve only 2 city players, how much do you think Alvarez will be? I’m thinking he could be an under the radar 3rd pick if 4.5/5 can see him picking up lots of points late on

Surely the same price as a Bowen playing for his plane ticket, I’d rather have him I think

Both?

Kulu

Kulu unless you have son

I dream of truffle-shaved scrambled eggs.

I literally CAN believe the game had t been launched.

D2A

B2A are the ones I think will get early price rises.

D2A,

I play to get Odegaard and Harrison in my draft if prices are as you outlined.

not sure I'd call it similar but The Damned United
