Probably off to receive his weekly pension

He had that ACL at the end of last season if I remember correctly.

He’s not fit So Patterson is nailed in the meantime

Better option at Palace for game time

Olise, Richarlison, Garnacho - we'll all be scrambling to blow the spare cash on Salah!

and Lewis hall to go the other way on loan to fill the Void 🙂

They could easily play Sancho. Not convinced.

Can’t hit a barn door

Martial back training. Might get mins in tomorrows friendly with Youth team. Which doesn’t say much, but just another in the mix.

He could well be.

Especially if he's starting...

Horrible options.

Odegaard the only good FPL pick

…any flaws with this?

Got anything ITB to improve Baldock?

Good Salah team

Obviously 3rd def and either Wissa or 5th mid could be improved without Mo

No United defence will hurt most CS last season & highly owned.

Watkins

Isak

Watkins

Watkins as of now for the short term

Possibly in that order with opening fixtures.

But Isak can easily score home to Liverpool so it's Man City and Brighton i guess which are tougher games away.

And Villa at home too.

I've got Isak back but might switch to Watkins in gw2!

Thanks that’s really helpful

Do you reckon Raya will be sold in August?

Maybe by gw3 even?

No word on Henry? He's my 4.5 defender of choice. Can just switch to Pinnock but is the defence significantly weakened without Henry?

Flekken distribution was excellent I agree.
KLP is first team, but his finishing needs to improve quickly. Could be a differential in a Go Salah squad.

Whats up with Tark?

Jota has been starting over him in pre-season I think

Jota will start imo.

I actually had Jota in a few of my drafts. He's the best finisher in that Liverpool team (bar Salah and arguably is better than Salah too...)

Diaz is a good pick but Gakpo probably better with Jota on the fringes and scoring as ever.

Diaz will start. Was the starter before the injury last year too.

Surely it will be Trossard I say

Trossard was ahead of him when Jesus was injured last season, no reason to expect that to change.

Was listening to Planet FPL Ars correspondent earlier and he made it clear that Nketiah is favoured by Arteta and Trossard has been playing as left 8 or left wing in pre-season.

I’ll start with him in a 343 in gw1, unless he doesn’t start in the CL. Riding his points until he gets dropped. There’s always a 5.5 fwd safety net with Morris and if Joao Pedro gets the nod upfront, you got an extra option.

Absolutely; CS to confirm it. He’s walking if he doesn’t start.

Saudi fantasy?

A is in the infirmary.

Not a fan of money on the bench at the start of the season.

Personally I would go for the best players from each team.. covering as many teams as possible to begin with. Salah
Is in my team.

There is yep. Just a bit of planning required but completely feasible.

yeah it's completely viable, basically every players' PPG increases if you could bench them for their tough fixtures

yeah, i like playing 343 and having 2 decent defenders on the bench who i can rotate in and out based on fixtures, i have Salah though so i'm probably gonna be stuck with fodder to begin with

I have spread the cash instead of any Liverpool a BB gw1 team - plenty of ways to play the game. All the Salah chat is just pure fear. Instead the question should be does your combination of players no Salah allows mean more chances of points overall.
The points advantage of a strong overall team might not be obvious at first, but spread over many gameweeks.

Still in development at Pixar.

A few weeks i read on Twitter earlier.

Midfield looks a little weak and Jackson has never played in the PL before. Otherwise, it looks good.

I like it, maybe get Anderson at NUFC in as the 4.5 if he still looks like starting games. Braithwaite might also be a starting 4.0 for Everton with the Tark injury today.

I like it that Eze pick could have many with a decison to make. I am rotating Eze and Diaby after gw2

1) Too expensive
2) Injured?
3) Could end up being a good pick

1. No
2. Wait and see
3.GW2 if he starts GW1

1. No interest.
2. Injured but potentially good option later.
3. Big differential - He's in my team atm.

Decent young men all of them. I dare say they'd be able to put together a credible CV. Under other interests on mine CV I put 'Fantasy football management', and 'Solo medieval re-enactment'! Huzzah!

Robertson - I would rather get Konate
Zichenko - his nice defensive fixtures could be gone by the time he is fit
Jota - does Klopp even know his best front three now?

Watkins 4.5

currently Watkins, Wissa but that could change

As a placeholder for Jesus:

Watkins, or if fit, Nkunku + 0.5 itb

And someone with low ownership for 4.5.

A choice between Isak, Watkins or Pedro and a 4.5.

Watkins is unanimous then. Makes sense, the only real proven nailed-on player available. But he's so boring 😆

Alvarez and Jackson - not many with have those two I think.

Not yet.

With Barnes coming in/Gordan improving i don't see how either can be worth it unless there's an injury/change of set up (352 maybe, a reason for Livro signing idk)

Like it, only downside is no pool

Solid, but maybe upgrade Pickford to Onana....maybe change Foden to Diaby as he is almost like a second striker, and could also have Jackson/nkunku instead of Watkins...that way you have a villa cover, onana upgrade, and 1.5 in the back to upgrade at least your first sub...

Grand - why not Pickford and Virginia? Saving you a .5 for elsewhere if needs be

Johnstone...better defense

1

Johnstone, Palhinha is struggling with an injury right now; if you want Leno make sure he's almost match ready at least by Everton

Johnstone
By the way if you wanted the ultimate keeper rotation it is Martinez and Johnstone (expensive combo though)

I deleted mine draft. Will come back fresh-minded 2-3 days before the Tourney starts. I'm very concerned about constantly changing drafts every time there is a match and someone says something positive or negative about a player.

2

Stones for one week isn’t worth doing.

That is a good looking team. I would lean toward 2), I wouldn't want to be moving players around after just one GW

If you money in the bank start Stones - if you don't get Chilwell.

Seriously doubt they will be top 4 again. But likely still fighting for a spot in Europe.

Spurs Chelsea Liverpool all will be better, United might drop off a bit

top 4 again from Newcastle will be asking alot, for me might depends how good Tonali plays, him and Bruno will be key to everything they do this season imo

Top 5 would be great. I'd expect Liverpool to be above them this season. Impact of Europe on Newcastle, Brighton and Villa could be a challenge for them. Chelsea should be better this season, though short of numbers in midfield. I think Spurs found their level last season and woud be very surprised to see them challenging for Champions League.

Not a chance with CL.

It will be a while before he starts I assume. Plus Stones is so much easier to type in an FPL team...
Why is there a 'V' in that name there - really unsettles me. Brain cannot compute it!

no, pep beds in players slow + Stones has such a unique role in Cities' current set up. if they revert back to traditional full backs maybe but after the success of last season with 4 CBs can't see it

He started last season off well too. Could end up being a great pick.

Virginia. Lonergan is about 60

Don't think so with KDB back in the picture. Can't see where he fits in with the current front 5:

Grealish - Haaland - Bernardo
Foden/Kovacic - KDB
