Ramsdale and Elanga in so far.
I think a striker will come, they’re just waiting by on Sesko to make a decision. If he chooses MTD, then I would expect a play for a different striker, maybe Wissa. I think they could with a CB more than anything though

The fact they lost 5 transfer battles in a row tells the story - I'm staying clear.

Doesn't really look like a BB team to me, with such a weak bench, but if you want to get the chip out of the way, go ahead.

Not sure about Sessegnon, Kudus and VDV.

I don't mind it, especially with DEFCON making 4 ATB possible to fit in more expensive attackers

My counter argument would be that Watkins/Wirtz + 5.5 mid/def is a tad unlikely to outscore two 7.0 + 7.0/7.5 attackers, unless you cap that Watkins/Wirtz spot for some mega hauls... Which is possible, tbf

They cant score in pre season

there's a sense that everyone figured Forest out by the end of last year, they did drop off pretty hard. also have to figure most people can't trust a 33-year-old coming off a career year. though i'd still take him over Joao Pedro or Solanke to start

Have you forgotten Jack Charlton already?!

Note to Reece and the dev team: I had to put my Android's Chrome in desktop mode to be able to see/browse comment history (Bio, Comments, Articles) in the profile page. The element showing avatar, FPL ID and co seems to be in position: sticky but with the wrong parent element

I'm more likely to want a second Chelsea attacker (with Palmer) than a second Forest attacker (with Wood), so I'd rather keep my routes open to a bandwagon third Chelsea after Palmer and Cucurella

On merit alone, still Anderson with nearly double the attacking returns in fewer games played

Malen

Anderson. On corners and doesn't block a Chelsea player

Monitor Rogers's ankle knock

I'd rather Dúbravka (expected to start for Burnley) than Turner, letting you triple up on Forest if they start well with those fixtures. Also, I think they've got a new 2nd GK in Gunn (expected to be 4.0 too), so Turner probably isn't Sels's backup anyway

Haaland + Gakpo vs Salah + Evanilson/6.5 is always gonna be a personal choice, so that's up to you

The rest seems fine for now. I don't really like Porro's price in the new DC era though

The only Turner you should be looking at is in the National Gallery!

New players, lack of cohesion, step up to premier league are all reasons to avoid for me. Guiu makes perfect bench for bench though. Can even work for bench boost

Diouf seems more attacking than Wan-B, btw. Both nailed. A bit like Munoz vs Mitchell last season

Is this a bench boost? That's a lot on the bench that could convert Rice Welbeck to Mitoma Wood (or similar combinations) from 2nd GK and 3rd sub

That's over 2 WCs and 5 AFCON FTs away. Are you building a zombie/draft team?

Uneducated guess: DACB

Fwiw, Watkins dropped off by 40+ points last season compared to 23/24 but his Points Per Minute were pretty much the same. All being well he should spend more time on the pitch this season and I'd bet against any of the other three outpointing him if he does.

CBAD

I mineself would avoid based solely on the fact you had to ask this question.

yes i think so

Start? Yes. But continue? Probably only if Wolves don't sign someone in the summer window

He's getting plenty of action in the RMTs on here. Not for me though. Underwhelming last season, new team, Spurs coming off 17th place finish.

Hi there Keith, nice to see you. 15 years, eh? There’s certainly something in what you say. Every year I half-promise myself I’m going to wait until a week before the start of the season before I pick my squad. Unfortunately, it never works out that way and oftentimes end up changing things around for change’s sake rather than to strengthen the squad.

I hope you’re right about Kudus. He could be the go-to if Rogers’ injury rules him out for a while. Best of luck for the season.

21G 10A in 50 games at RW:

https://www.transfermarkt.com/mohammed-kudus/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543499/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=12&trainer_id=

Kudus had 9 GIs in 33 games at WHU.

Spurs without Son and Maddy look short of creativity upfront. Solid defensively, but no teeth in final third.

IMHO.

B for me, mainly for Bowen

I think Bowen is a cert if you plan on an early WC. A looks better as a long term picks.

Defences these days are usually defined by the coach's tactics and DM quality though. CBs shine more in the Moyes/Dyche kind of team than in Potter's, off the top of my head

I wondered where he'd been & just realised they sent him out on loan last season. That doesn't exactly scream best defender, or nailed, though... unless the bar has fallen that low in his absence

Not sure why I picked Darlow, Dubravla obviously.

Ps assuming Rogers injury is minor

The Arsenal team still don't know how to play with Gyok yet. Amount of times they pass it back when Gyok makes a decent run, it's like they think they still have Kai up top.

Rest looks fine. Slight worry about Kluivert is the sheer number of options Bournemouth have in that position.

The opening fixture has given the community a bias against Bournemouth. I think he's a fine pick.
Personally think Reijnders will be the king of the 5.5m MIDS soon, if one has the patience to stick with him for the long term.

go williams instead of aina imo. looks good assuming rogers is not injured and ndiaye stays at everton

Rogers got injured last night annoyingly. Kluivert I think may be injured or back very late for preseason.

Who?

Not pushing it, talented player with an eye for goal, just how he fits into Everton line up

i wish I knew. it's a minefield just now, I would wait imo

Non-insider. Think Foden competes with Cherki. Reijnders I suspect will be first choice as the box crashing/carrying 8, BUT Gundo will get minutes and the odd start.

Rotation is a pill we have to swallow when going on Pep roulette.

It was, is and always will be, a minefield.

I'm not saying it's not a significant injury but players signal to the bench if they spot a fleck of dandruff on their shoulder these days.

Better than Colwill, Romero, Collins

1. Only GWs where you can use Burnley GK are GW2 and GW8 in first 10 GWs. So you basically need someone who can play all GWs. Budget limit of 4.5 means Kelleher is your only option who can provide safe returns due to saves. BHA defense is dodgy.

2. Richards should be nailed. More so if Guehi leaves but that will weaken their defense. I think Lacroix plus 4m is alright with that defense although I'm not a fan of De Ven.

Odds of that happening are same as that scoreline.
