    Locked in. Let's go!

    Ward
    Trent - Cancelo - Robertson - James - Perisic
    Salah - Saka - Bailey
    Kane (C) - Jesus

    Iverson - Andreas - Dasilva - Archer

      Perisic isn't starting, but might make a sub appearance. Guess that's the risk with owning him!

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Andreas to the rescue...

        1. Kobayashi
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I wouldn't put the two of those together in the same sentence, personally.

        He will start

        1. Kobayashi
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          He isn't, though.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              1 year, 7 months ago

              You don't know for sure mate, likely he doesn't but it's still just a prediction

                1 year, 7 months ago

                Check out their latest training video below - all players who are likely to start wearing orange bibs, those without are almost definitely substitutes for tomorrow's game.

                    Almost

                      Only time will tell!

          Good team. Lots of template picks so you won't fall far behind early.

        3. FPL Brains

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I've watched the Perisic nonsense gain momentum on here. My siblings work at Enfield, he's fit to play.

          1. Kobayashi
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Their latest training video ('bib theory' if you like) would suggest otherwise.

            That Spurs ITK O'keefe or someone said otherwise

              Let's see guys.

              Good luck in anycase.

          • 3 Years

          Nope. It's a huge opportunity going against him given his ownership

            • 14 Years

          Vardy?

          I have him in my heart.

          Does that count?

      6. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I kept 1.0 in the bank. Might be really stupid or a smart move long term if the likes of Neto and Perisic become better options than say Bailey and James?

        1. snow pea in repose

          Money in the bank is always good

            • 6 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Probably the bit about West Ham having quite a lot of concerns going into the game.

          He said his side has a lot of injuries

          • 14 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I think I've spent the least amount on my defense on this site

          4.0 4.0
          TAA Digne Trippier (Cucurella Neco) and 0.5 in the bank for an upgrade to Perisic in 2 to 3 GWs.

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            I'm the same
            Ramsdale Ward
            TAA Digne Trippier Neco Patterson with 0.5 itb for Digne to Perisic in GW3

            1. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              Cheers. Glad I'm not alone. I love the 5 to 5.5(Perisic) defenders this season. Going to be a lot of points in that range.

            • 2 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            I would expect him to. The Arsenal team will be Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odergaard, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus. Subs are anyone's guess but probably Turner, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Holding, Elneny, Lokonga, Smith-Rowe, Pepe and Nketiah.

          Looking forward to seeing all those FPL content creators' teams where they said one thing and then did another.

        14. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Benching Neto seems wrong but I played 4 defenders over him (Trent - Walker - trip - Gabriel )!

            Conte will give his wingbacks 45 minutes each imo. 45 minutes of Perišić could be good

              He said he needed match sharpness, he's not getting that on the bench

            What is a good GW1 OR? Under 1M?

                If you can get under 500k more weeks than not you'll do alright...

                Think i posted gw77k last year gw1 but it's tough going.

              Top 2.5m.

              You want to be in the Top 40% and then climb.

              GW1 OR is irrelevant

              These days? 1 million is good and then cut in half every 5 weeks is generally my aim.
