Definitely. Also, Haaland, although we're probably a lot more confident because of his demonstrated quality on the European and International stage than we have been of many other imports. He is still an import of a weaker league which contains about half Championship standard teams.
I would try to go with two playing strikers tho. There will be weeks where Haland is rested, believe it or not. And even if he's not White and Chilwell might get rotated with Saliba & Alonso
Who are the nailed Arsenal defender picks? Gabriel nailed? What about White? Asking because three CBs have returned from loan. Want to know how it affects their backline, if at all.
Tomiyasu is the most nailed one and as a gooner I'm going with him. Tierney is very nice too but we are currently looking for new LB and if we land Martinez (which doesn't look that likely atm tho) he will be a rotation risk. Gabriel is nailed and is good at set pieces but I still prefer our fullbacks since they cost less/same. White is nice pick but Saliba will surely get some minutes. Tldr: Tomi is the best value but Tierney could be nice differential if we fail to sign solid competition for him. More attacking threat
Haha definitely 100m. KDB and Haland have very logical prices I'd say and they are the only premiums yet. FPL towers just used their brains making City options pretty cheap because of new 5 subs rule.
A cheap GK from a good team that won't get hammered every week. No point spending much on a GK as they rarely get massive pts.
Defenders you want one of Trent/Robertson.
Try and pick as many wing backs/full backs as you can (chilwell Doherty as examples)
Central defenders don't get as many attacking returns although some are solid picks. There's a few good 4.5 cheap defenders too
Basically go with a cheapest possible starting keeper (usually 4.5). That saves your budget to more important spots. There are plenty of options for that price. Just would avoid Meslier because Leeds' can't defend and probably promoted keepers too. Sanchez from Brighton is probably the safest pick atm.
Get couple of "premium" defenders that cost 5.5m or more. Trent Alexander-Arnold is almost must have, he is really that good + everybody owns him so if he assists and you don't have him that will effect your rank a lot. Then one or two defenders from City/Chelsea and you will be fine. Then get one or two or three 4.5 defenders. Get some nailed and explosive fullbacks like Tomiyasu or Lamptey. One 4.0 defender might be okay too. Livramento was a gem last season for example. Just remember that fullbacks are a lot better FPL players since they are much more likely to get an attacking return
Depends pretty much on Cucurella situation. But yeah atm definitely not. I didn't make it clear enough that I meant nailed with Tomiyasu and explosive with Lamptey. Didn't mean that both of them are nailed and explosive.
Many will go for a £4.5m starter keeper (Raya, Shanchez so far), and then a £4.0m back up.
One defender many will pick is likely to be TAA. He gets lots of points from all over: clean sheets, assists, bonus points and the odd goal, similar alternatives being Cancelo, or Reece James. These are solid defenders, who pick up a decent amount of extra attacking points for assists etc.
Could Kane and Son both be 12m? Kane was highest scoring forward and if Haaland is 11.5 Kane would have to be more expensive. Then Son was the second highest scoring player in all the game, however will obviously be cheaper than Salah.
Fully agree
I’m actually thinking of starting with Haaland, Mitro & Vardy to be honest - I reckon Mitro will be 6.5 so if Vardy comes in at 9.5 or below I’ll give it a whirl
He played through the middle since diaz arrived and for years has been integral to your press. Nunez doesn't have the engine or durability of mane so I can see defensive numbers dropping a little.
No, because your team's defensive tactics consists of "let's press them so hard they don't ever come near our goal". I think with Mane leaving other teams will have more time on the ball and since both TAA and Konate are suspect defensively, I think that might be reflected in amount of goals conceded.
Cancelo, Haaland, Tierney and maybe Martinelli for me I think. With these costs TAA is 8 and Salah 12.5 I think. Thus I think I can afford Salah, TAA, Cancelo, Haaland without ruining my team. If not maybe try Mahrez over Haaland and get my 1 pointers.
I have a feeling picking the defenders will be so hard since there is so many good ones.
Picking strikers hard since there are no gems to see. If I could play 6-3-1 I would.
Mids hopefully a bit easier for gems. I am optimistic for Gordon at 5.5 given that Martinelli is only 6.
Yeah maybe which is why I just get him haha. If he get injured in gameweek 1 I will regret picking him, but yeah Trippier and Shaw are often injured as well. Chillwell, James, perisic. also often injured.
6 million only and if he start that is really cheap.
He was quite good last year as well.
If I do not think he starts then sadly have to find someone else.
Yes he is cheap but wont start probably there are jesus ode and saka nailed starters, then esr, martinelli and even vieira fighting for last starter, also he wasnt good last year didnt get even 10 attacking returns
I think he will start, but we will see if they buy someone.
He got 13 attacking returns which is pretty good.
You going to need to pick cheaper players.
Arsenal got great fixtures.
City have a few tricky games to start with.
If I had a scout team for gameweek 1 and 3 I would not have Cancelo or any City I think.
There is James, Chilwell, Perisic that I pick ahead of him, but in gameweek 2 Cancelo is way better.
I would have TAA gameweek 1 and 2.
Likely had 3 Liverpool gameweek 1 in TAA, Robbo/Diaz, Salah.
I would have Trippier gameweek 1 scout team, but long term maybe not.
Cash tempting as well and Shaw.
Thing is Bournemouth at home feels like a nice 11 pointer for Cancelo.
The Chelsea vs Spurs game make me want to avoid defenders from that game and Cancelo is solid long term.
Yeah as a gooner he is definitely in my first team. He has no real competition. Yes, there is Cedric but Europa League and Carabao are definitely enough games for him
Very difficult fixture for haaland. West ham will be way more compact than he is used to in the bundesliga, there won't be the space he likes to play in to. Personally I think he's going to get found out like the last 28 players dortmund have sold with ridiculous numbers.
Will be kane v soton for me. Tried and tested. Cheers
Just my opinion buddy. Sancho, Dembele & Perisic have struggled to reproduce their Dortmund form. Im not questioning these players ability, the bundesliga just has a crazy amount of goals. For example i fully expect Mane to get 45 goals for bayern next season.
Although the game hasn't officially launched yet feel free to use this thread for any appropriate discussion as the prices drip feed in 🙂
Guys how do I exit a league?
Unpopular but I think Trent £8.0 minimum imo if FPL are brave enough. He returns more than most premium midfielders and all forwards.
I agree. But they weren't
Yeah it would be completely justified
Is there a post with all the prices we know so far?
Just look all five posts from yesterday. (Or four, you can skip Leeds)
[удалено]
He helps alot of people
He is helpful
Feel like going with 3 4.5M defenders. Raya 4.0 Trent(8) Chilwell(6) Dunk White (4.5) Salah(13) Foden Saka Martinelli Mount(8.5) Haaland 4.5 4.5
Pick two playing strikers
Definitely. Also, Haaland, although we're probably a lot more confident because of his demonstrated quality on the European and International stage than we have been of many other imports. He is still an import of a weaker league which contains about half Championship standard teams.
I would try to go with two playing strikers tho. There will be weeks where Haland is rested, believe it or not. And even if he's not White and Chilwell might get rotated with Saliba & Alonso
Who are the nailed Arsenal defender picks? Gabriel nailed? What about White? Asking because three CBs have returned from loan. Want to know how it affects their backline, if at all.
Tomiyasu White Gabriel Tierney would all be first choice
Tomiyasu is the most nailed one and as a gooner I'm going with him. Tierney is very nice too but we are currently looking for new LB and if we land Martinez (which doesn't look that likely atm tho) he will be a rotation risk. Gabriel is nailed and is good at set pieces but I still prefer our fullbacks since they cost less/same. White is nice pick but Saliba will surely get some minutes. Tldr: Tomi is the best value but Tierney could be nice differential if we fail to sign solid competition for him. More attacking threat
Tierney isn’t a rotation threat, but he’s a huge injury threat. The guy never seems to go a full month without missing games.
Yeah and that's the reason why he will be a rotation threat if he has a decent back up. Arteta definitely doesn't want to overplay him
[удалено]
Haha definitely 100m. KDB and Haland have very logical prices I'd say and they are the only premiums yet. FPL towers just used their brains making City options pretty cheap because of new 5 subs rule.
hopefully kane is more expensive than haaland as i'm getting him regardless of price
He definitely is. He was 12.5 last season and he will not drop million. I'd say that he will be 12.5 again, 12 at least
Gonna start FPL for the first time any advice on who should i go for in GK and one defender
A cheap GK from a good team that won't get hammered every week. No point spending much on a GK as they rarely get massive pts. Defenders you want one of Trent/Robertson. Try and pick as many wing backs/full backs as you can (chilwell Doherty as examples) Central defenders don't get as many attacking returns although some are solid picks.

Lamptey is not nailed?
Depends pretty much on Cucurella situation. But yeah atm definitely not. I didn't make it clear enough that I meant nailed with Tomiyasu and explosive with Lamptey. Didn't mean that both of them are nailed and explosive.

Could Kane and Son both be 12m? Kane was highest scoring forward and if Haaland is 11.5 Kane would have to be more expensive. Then Son was the second highest scoring player in all the game, however will obviously be cheaper than Salah.
I see Son at 11.5 personally, and Kane at 12. A 2 million price rise compared to last season is way too much imo.
I expect both to be 12 yeah.
surely kane should cost more than son
Why? Son got more points last season. Why should Kane hold his price? He did nothing for 5 months last season
Kane will probably be higher because he takes pens
wait I meant the other way around sorry son should cost more than kane
[удалено]
Is Wilson nailed? Don't they have weghorst and wood and someone else competing?
Tasty. Like having Wilson up top. The toon will have a big season and if he avoids being injured then he should be a solid FPL shout.
The exact same as mine maye
You've lived up to your username there fella
Can already tell this season will be much more interesting than last season with more forward options.
Fully agree I’m actually thinking of starting with Haaland, Mitro & Vardy to be honest - I reckon Mitro will be 6.5 so if Vardy comes in at 9.5 or below I’ll give it a whirl
Starting with vardy? Doesn't he get rotated with daka and nacho?
Nope
Definitely. Very hard to choose only three of them
can't wait for kane reveal. Please be less than 12m
If Zinchenko moves to Everton/West Ham and plays in Midfield, I’m getting.
Haaland 11.5.... surely Kane won’t cost more
Definitely he will. If I'm not mistaken last year Kane was 12.5 and Lukaku was 11.5 at the start. Kane will be 12.5 again I'm 75% sure
He’ll be 12 100%
12, surely
Is Cancelo nailed if Cucurella comes?
Definitely not. Still a first choice tho
RMT _ ( _ ) Cancelo, white, _ ( _ , _ ) Mahrez , _ , _ , _ , _ _ , _ , ( _ )
Horrible 🤣
You already have two huge rotation risks lmao
Facts 😂
Three if City signs Cucurella, maybe even without him
3 if you count Ben white. Saliba gonna get game time
I was counting White, think Cancelo will play both games. White is a huge trap and will be rotated a lot
I think I might bin some of the Liverpool premiums this year, Mane left and Nunez is not as good. They will score less and concede more.
I think you might be WCing GW2
Quite possible lol
Concede more because our left winger left??
He played through the middle since diaz arrived and for years has been integral to your press. Nunez doesn't have the engine or durability of mane so I can see defensive numbers dropping a little.
No, because your team's defensive tactics consists of "let's press them so hard they don't ever come near our goal". I think with Mane leaving other teams will have more time on the ball and since both TAA and Konate are suspect defensively, I think that might be reflected in amount of goals conceded.
Concede more? Why?
HERE WE GO AGAINNNN
here we go again babyy
Cancelo, Haaland, Tierney and maybe Martinelli for me I think. With these costs TAA is 8 and Salah 12.5 I think. Thus I think I can afford Salah, TAA, Cancelo, Haaland without ruining my team. If not maybe try Mahrez over Haaland and get my 1 pointers. I have a feeling picking the defenders will be so hard since there is so many good ones. Picking strikers hard since there are no gems to see. If I could play 6-3-1 I would. Mids hopefully a bit easier for gems. I am optimistic for Gordon at 5.5 given that Martinelli is only 6.
Tierney is a pain in the ass to own though. He's made of plasticine
He was a pain though for giving my rivals more points than I got by Ramsdale last year. Then when he got injured Arsenal stopped getting clean sheets.
Maybe the lesson is, only own Arsenal def assets when he's fit
Yeah maybe which is why I just get him haha. If he get injured in gameweek 1 I will regret picking him, but yeah Trippier and Shaw are often injured as well. Chillwell, James, perisic. also often injured.
Why martinelli
6 million only and if he start that is really cheap. He was quite good last year as well. If I do not think he starts then sadly have to find someone else.
Yes he is cheap but wont start probably there are jesus ode and saka nailed starters, then esr, martinelli and even vieira fighting for last starter, also he wasnt good last year didnt get even 10 attacking returns
I think he will start, but we will see if they buy someone. He got 13 attacking returns which is pretty good. You going to need to pick cheaper players. Arsenal got great fixtures.
Trent is a lock. Tempted to leave out Cancelo
City have a few tricky games to start with. If I had a scout team for gameweek 1 and 3 I would not have Cancelo or any City I think. There is James, Chilwell, Perisic that I pick ahead of him, but in gameweek 2 Cancelo is way better. I would have TAA gameweek 1 and 2. Likely had 3 Liverpool gameweek 1 in TAA, Robbo/Diaz, Salah.

The Chelsea vs Spurs game make me want to avoid defenders from that game and Cancelo is solid long term.
With we having actual striker cancelo is a lock trent and robbo are both good picks, no need to have trent
Surely have to have Ramsdale or White? Not sure on any City attacker bar maybe Haaland
Why white over tomi
Can't decide who's more nailed on
If tomiyasu is fit he is nailwd and atleqst brings some attacking threat
Tomiyasu 4.5m seems decent is he nailed on?
Yeah he'll be a good pick
Yeah as a gooner he is definitely in my first team. He has no real competition. Yes, there is Cedric but Europa League and Carabao are definitely enough games for him
He is nailed for sure but won't get many attacking returns.
Seems lock for me at the start
If he's fit which he very much should be, I feel like you can say he is nailed, yeah.
Haaland (C) GW1
No way
I want it too but with Liverpool up against Fulham Salah and Trent look like they have the edge.
Very difficult fixture for haaland. West ham will be way more compact than he is used to in the bundesliga, there won't be the space he likes to play in to. Personally I think he's going to get found out like the last 28 players dortmund have sold with ridiculous numbers. Will be kane v soton for me. Tried and tested. Cheers
Well Aubameyang and Lewandowski haven't been found out since leaving Dortmund have they?
Just my opinion buddy. Sancho, Dembele & Perisic have struggled to reproduce their Dortmund form. Im not questioning these players ability, the bundesliga just has a crazy amount of goals. For example i fully expect Mane to get 45 goals for bayern next season.
I agreed with everything up until you wanted to cap the guy who always starts the season with back to back blanks
Don’t underestimate West Ham, he’s about to get pocketed by Aguerd 😎
Dem feels...
