P and K rotate well

I'm thinking Areola and Kelleher for these fixtures in the first 6:

sun (Areola)
AVL (Kelleher)
sun (K)
TOT (A)
CRY (A)
MUN (K)

Might have to do something about GW7 though when West Ham host Arsenal and Brentford visit Man City.

P and K do rotate beautifully. I have also hated rotating as you can miss so many points. Just do a Sanchez/Sels + 4m

Decent

Starting Reijnders every week might be a problem if Pep-roulette strikes

I also think WHU will struggle defensively, tough opening run of fixtures too bar GW1

Looks interesting! You can now create and compare multiple drafts on https://fpldraftmanager.online/. Free to use and no account needed. Would love to get some feedback from engaged users. Currently 41 drafts created. On more we can do some statistical analysis of the pick rate of selected players in the more engaged community. 🙂

The combination of punts and no bench makes for a dangerous team structure. Assuming you want to keep all your heavy assets, maybe Solanke to Strand Larsen could give the team some breathing room / flexibility.

Like it. Much better than yesterday!

Biffas. I think we are literally the 2 last men/women standing to still be singing the praises of the baby reindeer. Less the better 😉

Igor could be amazing if Wissa moves but A as it stands

A

I think Cherki.

Just get Rogers again. They have the best fixtures to start too

O Riley

It may well be Malen

It may well be Malen

It may well be Malen

Bellegarde.

Daniel James will rinse Mykolenko in GW1 and then school Lewis-Skelly in GW2.

Reindeers or Cherki

Ha, rotation, old trick

No fixture is decent for Areola

will West Ham sign a new keeper?

Did you have to verify your age when typing Areola on this site?

I don't really see the point unless it's for BB.

Better to have a 5.0 keeper in play every week imho.

I'm on Sanchez and 4m.

If you're set on 2 keepers have you seen the Petrovic + Kelleher rotation?

Guys you did not own Semeneyo last season? He trolls at a stratospehric near-Digne level

Disagree. I think the Ndiaye hype is justified. Mitoma also surely has the potential to be every bit the asset that Semenyo or Rogers will be. Likewise Iwobi and I. Sarr. And Enzo and Rice have a lot going for them.

I'm starting on Ndiaye and happy to see the alternatives to jump onto if he flops.

Semenyo's open play threat is significantly higher, he's the one to get

Semenyo.

Sound. I always warn people off the Spurs defence. Not sure about Pedro in a new team, without penalties and with some competition for his place.

Does Sanchez Collins over Kelleher Cucu save you 0.5?
Don’t like VdV AWB De Cuyper and Reinildo hasn’t played at all in pre season.
I prefer O’Riley over Welbeck from Brighton attack, cheaper too.
I’m starting with Watkins Wood over Gyokeres Pedro.

Rodon simply because I think Leeds will be strongest promoted team (Gnonto could be interesting btw)
and his lack of CBIT is contextual IMO. You can have good stats in that area when you dominate league. I think he is a good defender despite everyone saying Bijol / Gudmundsson are better picks.

I checked JWP's price out of curiosity and I was not expecting him to be as high as £6m! Surely there's gotta be better picks

Malen flop

Bruno and Wood, yes. I'm hoping Gyokeres proves you wrong, but that's my team bias.

This Adele? https://shorturl.at/cNDlE

Bet the women that use this site will find these hilarious

Big up top used to be Lola Ferrari from Eurotrash.
And big at the back has always been Kim Kardashian.

Could be golden. Not having a 6.0 DEF might make it harder to chop and change once we start seeing some action, but I guess you'll be able to downgrade attackers to invest in defence and bench.

Isn't Udogie injured?

From previous experience and obvious evidence I would say don’t consider Udogie. Wouldn’t want to play Caicedo every week, O’Riley looks a far better choice at that price.

Just get Virgil. Set. Forget. Boom. Done.

*more

I am.

tempted to punt gyokeres in, should start gw2 at least, still 2 weeks to go which is enough

You'll need him for GW2 mate. Just set and forget

I like it bar marmoush and malen. Is Thiago only nailed if Wissa leaves?

Quite like it, just not Bruno.

ABC

Gabriel has a nice looking GW2, which puts him at the top for me. Everyone's raving about Virgil, and he will be a set and forget, but his opening matches, aren't great. He's still ahead of Ait Nouri until we know the Man City def is getting lots of gametime.

I prefer C from the off for fixtures and attacking form from last season, but A & B probably more minutes and points over the season.

You already did it!

first 6 virgil, then it gets close and gabriel should come good
ran just unknnown, if he‘d start 80-90% games he‘d be crazy but that might not happen

Exactly in that order. Except C should be Cucurella

Was disappointing start of last season

according to MSN "While he could be good once again in 2025-26, he’s probably someone to avoid in your first draft. After winning the Gold Cup with Mexico over the summer, he’s been given an extended break."

He has the highest predicted points in his price bracket for forwards on Hub.

on both right now

Rogers
Both works also

Undecided whether to start Gyok over Watkins. Sticking with Rogers and Watkins for now, but will switch Gyok in if he's a beast pre-season.

just think fixtures for jsl not quite there early and having no 9/7.5m striker might be a problem

Will the points from Palmer and Haaland make up for having to play Ndiaye, Anderson and JSL week in week out? Rather than committing to one of those premiums and being able to get a couple of 7.5-8.5 mids to match or beat the returns of the former?

You could of course start with all three, see who's underperforming and sell and reinvest in others, but that could be a recipe for an early WC.

Actually very good

munoz gws 1+3? milenkovic gw 4?
I like van de ven for that reason, not a massive fan of spurs defence but rotation looks best with him

Can just play Konsa every week up to 8/9...? Which of those fixtures do you want to bench him for?

De Cuyper
Andersen
Senesi

Not looking at rotation, but just good prospects in the 4.5 pool.

I'm rotating Konsa and Guehi

Where would he go? ManU?

He would be mad to leave to go there

Emery and Watkins aren't best friends, he's amongst their top earners whilst Villa are trying to lessen their 95%+ income/wage ratio

It's like you've painted yourself into a very pretty corner.

I was thinking how the hell did you manage it?

Then realised mo, sorry, no Salah

Sacrifice being Palmer to Bruno to afford the premium defender

Looks good but I would reduce the risk and not go for double Forest defence. Arsenal have some tough opening fixtures will have to see how Gyokeres does.

Shows how good a squad you can build without Salah+Haaland, however triple Villa attack is overkill.
I'd sack Rogers to improve your defence.
Rogers+DeCuyper+(Truffert) >>> £11.0m on 2 x defenders and a £5.0 mid on bench.

Not a fan of Arsenal players?

It's all Greek to me!

Sunderland fixtures are good for the first few weeks. If you aren't going to play Le Fee then, I'd just stick to 4.5.
