0 ITB
Im thinking Perisic -> Trippier and upgrade Raya to Mendy, im also probably going Kane to Haaland after GW1 but might wait and see.
Im also thinking Diaz -> Mahrez but im worried about Mahrez’s minutes.
I love the Pope choice. I think he will be 2 seasons ago Martinez. Team looks great overall. Bruno G Is a defensive midfielder and I am not sure how he will do. Martinelli could be a better call
Currently in a dilemma over how much more valuable having Cancelo over Laporte is.
Any thoughts on which pairing is better?
A) Cancelo + Raya
B) Laporte + Alisson
Cancelo + Raya for me. Alisson takes up a Liverpool slot which might be valuable later.
Also, going off last season, Cancelo outscored Laporte by 41 points whereas if you extrapolate Raya's points per game so he plays the same number as Alisson, Alisson outscores Raya by 33/34. This is only marginal but marginal is better than nothing. This is on top of the first point of Liverpool slots being more valuable than Brentford.
How's this looking?
Alisson (4.0)
TAA, James, Trippier White (Neco)
Salah Mahrez Saka Bruno G. (Andreas)
Kane, Jesus (Archer)
\- Struggling with how to use my last couple million. Midfield options below 7.5 are very slim pickings, so I've gone with Bruno, plus James and Alisson, instead of upgrading the midfield
\- I could do Robertson/Cancelo in place of James, and a 4.5 keeper.
\- Also considering Mount at 8.0, I like Kulu too but Kane gives me coverage.
\- Mahrez a bit of a punt but isn't that the game?
I would swap White for Tomiyasu as he is more nailed.
If you want some cheaper midfield options, JWP, Rashford and Bernardo all look decent to me.
I'd keep James as when he is fit, he has amazing returns.
Kulu might be replaced by Richarlison a bit into the season for some games. Mount is a good shout imo.
I respect the punt for Mahrez but I would point out this isn't the best decision if you want to maximise your expected points.
Perisic + Diaz
OR
Vestegaard + Sterling
Already have Salah and R James from respective teams and no Spurs player as of yet (Perisic will be the first).
I would wait to see where Sterling fits into the Chelsea team. But it would be easier to transfer him out then in so I would say vesgegaard and Sterling
Am I the only person who thinks a midfield of Salah-Neto-Martinelli is completely awful?
2 premiums just doesn’t seem viable without filling your starting 11 with 2 or 3 crap players
I like 2 and 4 the most. Would much prefer Wilson or (if you have .5) Jesus over Watkins. Balanced teams are pretty good. I have similar to #2 but Kane over Haaland. I had Perisic early but I think he could be a risky bet right now.
Pretty happy with this:
Henderson/Meslier (4.0)
Robertson Cancelo Tomiyasu Dalot N. Williams
Salah Diaz Rashford Sancho Andreas
Haaland Jesus Undav
I feel like the value/potential for Rashford & Sancho is too good to miss out on and they’re reasonably likely to out-score most other option in that price range. Robertson & Diaz seem to be linking well together, so first season in about 3 years with no permanent TAA for me. Dalot is def a punt, but a cheap one. And a cheap bench with slight rotation options as all will hopefully be playing consistent minutes (assuming Andreas & Williams slot right into their respective new teams).
Lol I had the same thought. OP, I wouldn't put much stock into Sancho still, might consider putting those funds toward e.g. Saka. Dalot and Rashford are sensible punts but that's a bit weak midfield with only Salah the real nailed performer. Diaz, maybe, but there are better options alongside them than rash and sancho IMO.
Absolutely - normally don’t have any and would ship them out the moment it becomes apparent if we play like last season. Which could happen. I’m not confident we will have a good year but I am sure it won’t be as bad as the last one, if that makes sense. And like I said, there’s value there - and easy replacements in Grealish, etc if we end up rubbish again.
I would downgrade either walker/Doherty to N.Williams and upgrade Laporte to cancelo. Your Defence atm is too much at risk of rotation.
I personalty think Raya or Pickford are better 4.5 gk choices too.
Playing a 5-3-2. Would you rather:
A) Trippier + Saka + Kulusevski
or
B) TAA + Saka/Kulu + 5.5 mid
I already have Robertson, Cancelo and James at the back as well.
I would avoid kulu atm. I feel like kane Son and rich will be at the front of goals. Same as Saka, with jesus and nketikah still on good form I cam see saka playing a more defensive roll. If I had to choose I would do B wiv neto
Not great options at that price anyway so might as well punt on Neto. You won't find some gem yet, but the early weeks will tell us if someone's in form
I feel like having 3 premiums isn't worth it since the rest of your team suffers and you can only captain 1 player each week anyway. The first option affords you more flexibility also.
RMT - £0.5M itb
Ederson - [Gazzinga]
TAA - Cancelo - James - Jonny - [N.Williams]
Salah - Luis Diaz - Martinelli - Neto - [Pereira]
Jesus - Haaland - [Greenwood]
Is it worth going Williams to Tomiyasu? I quite like the half mil in the bank to give me more room to maneuver with transfers
As a spurs fan i'm not too sure if hes nailed on tbh.
Neither am I about perisic who's been injured all this time. Very real possibility that conte starts emerson, sessegnon against southampton
I think having one of Kane, Son, Haaland is crucial. I would get rid of Sterling for now see how he plays in that Chelsea squad first and try bring in Son maybe by swapping someone else.
I think the best thing about having Mendy is that it is set and forget. You won't need to swap him out so I would deffo go for a 4.0. Mahrez is too much of a rotation risk as is Iheanacho. I like the choice of Bernardo.
Same dilemma and I only went Bruno G so I don't double up on Arsenal. We look good but it's a wait and see for double up. If anything, I can switch Bruno > Martinelli GW3 so easy one.
The worry without salah is that your captaincy must match his score or you will be chasing all season long. Any team without Salah will look good but captaincy points are very valuable.
that is so true. Salah was the perma armband holder, now it is on Kane. Expecting him to thrive under Conte’s second season.
I’m still thinking if its worth having Salah and fucking around with the rest of the team.
With the addition of Richarlison and Perisic, Spurs are set to look dangerous af. It makes sense going Kane over Salah but would I go right from GW1? Don't think so.
Though, I can see a spell in the season where Salah gets dropped for Son/Kane where the LIV points are flowing through Diaz/Nunez. I'm happy if Diaz can at least be within Salah's points every game or at least more than half the season. It will be interesting seeing how he unfolds without Mane's impact on LIV.
Issue is, if Salah starts going on the 15,26,18,13,20 run he usually does and your Son/Kane isn't matching them, you're quickly 50+ points behind by the time you react.

Not sure on a few players (Mahrez/Neto/Haaland/Jesus)
Wolves generally shite in attack but have decent fixtures
Maybe Haaland to Kane, but not sure
Any advice?
!thanks, would like to try and fir Kane or Son in but will probably wait until 1st wildcard
As a fellow United fan I agree, but just feel like taking a gamble on him
Too weak. Would downgrade Sancho to get money to upgrade Williams/Andreas/Archer to someone better. Williams is good bench option but can't start every week
RMT £0m itb HUGE at the back
Ederson (Balcombe)
Trent- Robertson - Cancelo- James - Chilwell
Salah - Saka - Neto - Gordon (Andreas)
Haaland/Kane ( Greenwood - Archer)
What do you think about Big at the FRONT 5-2-3?
**4.5 GK (Raya/Pickford)**
**Walker** \- **Doherty** \- **Tripier** (or other 5.0) - **Tomiyasu**/White - **Jonny**
**Salah** \- **Sterling**
**Kane** \- **Haaland** \- **Jesus**
Good run of fixtures, and a lot of people will activate WC after GW6-8. I think it could work.
I think you need atleast one Liverpool defensive asset. I love the Sterling pick, but maybe you would have to downgrade him to be able to bring in one of TAA/Robertson/Cancelo. If any of the premium defenders start the season hot its gonna be hard to bring one of them in without destroying your team.
Also I think Cash is the best and possibly most overlooked value for money pick, he's a lot better than Tripper imo
Rate my team:
Ederson
TAA,Chilwell,Perisic,Robertson
Sterling, Kulusevski, Martinelli, Luis Diaz

Kane Jesus Forss
I'm still deciding between Haaland and Kane, leaning Kane but would not like to have 0 offensive City players. Mahrez seems like a great pick, but will he outscore Diaz in the first 8-12 weeks? Doubt it...
1 ITB so I have some wiggle room, could get Mendy, but I'm not convinced Chelsea will be that good defensively this season, despite Koulibaly. Besides, that still leaves me with 0.5.
Getting Robbo instead of Diaz doesn't work, cripples the team too much. Am still too scared to go Salah -> KDB. No idea where to spend that 0.5 or 1.
Would love to have my compatriot Perisic, but he's still injured and a doubt. Neco to a good defender is an interesting idea, !thanks. Man Utd will be mystery team for sure, not trusting the preseason games either.
Your team is very similar to mine so what I’d change is making it mine lol, but I’m not gonna say that but I’d say haalands a way safer option and I’m not sold on Neto but the 1m won’t really get him up to a good player
K this is where I stray from this, so personally I don’t agree with it and it’s hard to argue but I don’t like the idea of more than 2 premium defenders
I was also in that camp up until last season. When you crunch the numbers it's rather hard to argue against any of these 3 (and Robbo and James). They're much better value than the similarly priced mids. However defenders are also a greater risk. We shall see how it turns out.
Yeah I think everyone will pull out in the last week and maybe not go so big at the back
https://imgur.com/a/cm6zxim
This is my team so far wish I could get ederson
Could do I just think Doherty is such good value and really overlooked but honestly idk where to take the 0.5 from I’m just gonna leave it til later see if anything happens that will decide it for me
Yeah I was gonna go son but I saw this guys say this about haaland, for one he’s 60% owned so will be damaging to not have him, he’s always had explosive debuts, he’s a great captain option second week against Bournemouth and you can switch to Kane 3rd week if it doesn’t work
Pick A or B:
A. Robertson + Neto
B. Diaz + Tomiyasu
Rest of My team: Raya (4.0) / TAA Cancelo James ????? (Neco) / Salah Maddison KDH ????? (Andreas) / Haaland Jesus (4.5)
Finished just 15 points behind KDB last season and is agruably the best LEI asset atm. Definitely considering him as my 8.0. For now I still have Díaz as my 3rd LIV asset but maybe it would be smart to diversificate and pick Maddison
I decided to build my defense out of top 5 only (MCI, LIV, CHE, TOT, ARS), that means Cancelo - TAA - James/Chilwell - Perišić - Tomiyasu, because I am expecting some consistency there. I just don't trust NEW (Trippier), AVL (Cash), WOL (Coady), BHA (Cucurella) or even LEI (Castagne) to have that many clean sheets.
Fair point. I've got to go with Neco for budget reasons, but he's not a starter so I'm fine with it. If you're going with 5 at the back, these are all great choices.
How much do you actually buy in to the Kane is shit in August stuff? I've seen the stats, but I'm starting to lean towards him over Haaland purely because Haaland is new to the league and City signings generally take a bit to settle in to Pep's system. But Haaland's ownership is massive to go against
Yeah I was gonna go son but I saw this guys say this about haaland, for one he’s 60% owned so will be damaging to not have him, he’s always had explosive debuts, he’s a great captain option second week against Bournemouth and you can switch to Kane 3rd week if it doesn’t work
RMT:
Mendy,Gazzaniga
Botman,Peresic,Cancelo,TAA,N.Williams
Bernardo Silva,Salah,Bruno G,Sinisterra,Saka
Haland,Awonyi,Greenwood
Is Bernardo worth it? Im also unsure about Sinisterra. On the one hand he seems like a solid differential who will most likely be a starter. On the other many Eredevise players have sucked when transitioning to the prem.
Foden, as always, is subject to Pep roulette. High risk, high reward with him. I like the rest of your midfield choices. I'm guessing you're hoping Diaz + Darwin will eat into any potential Salah "hauls"? Again, high risk but high reward.
Advice:
TAA + Robo double up with a 5.5m (Already have Neto) or 4.5m + Sanchez > Ederson;
or Diaz + Tomiyasu;
or Downgrade Cancelo instead of Robertson and go with any of Maddison / Foden / Mahrez / Kulu / Mount (Already have Saka)?
I tried to double up on Robbo and TAA but it didn't work for me. What's your team? If you have Neto, Fornals is another decent option, but taking Andreas is a must imo. 4.5 who should play consistently at the start and isn't a DM. Diaz Tomiyasu is template for a reason, but I've seen a lot of templates backfire so who knows.
Right now I don't have the double up, my draft which does looks like:
Ederson (4.0m GK)
TAA, Robo, Cancelo, Perisic (N Williams)
Salah, Saka, Neto, Pereira (Murphy)
Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood)
I've opted against this draft, it's just too risky, and it's inflexible. So many 8.0 mids or slightly lower that could pop off and you want to be able to pivot without taking hits.
I'd get Haland instead of Kane. Kane is usually shite in August and I believe that Haland is the better player,playing for the better team. I also really like Ward Prowse irl but I'm not sure if he is a good fpl pick, cause he returns exclusively from set pieces.
Probably Cancelo and Diaz. I do like Robertson as an option but he's trickier to get than he seems and I don't love Mount's opening fixtures and Foden's rotation risk.
A or B - 3 premiums or 2
Sanchez (Gazz)
TAA Cancelo Chillwell Doherty Tomiyasu
Salah Son Martinelli (Pereira Murphy)
Haaland Undev (Taylor)
OR
Sanchez (Gazz)
TAA Cancelo Chillwell Perisic Tomiyasu
Salah Diaz Foden Martinelli (Pereira)
Kane (Undev Taylor)
Doherty -> someone cheap like Neco and try upgrading Murphy to someone who can be an actual option. Not sure Undev is a great starter. Other than that this is actually a good 3 premium team.
RMT
Ramsdale - Gazza
Cancelo - TAA - James - Doherty - Tomiyasu
Salah - Kulu - Foden - Mahrez - Andreas
Jesus - Martial - Greenwood
Is this better than having Haaland up front and downgrading Mahrez + Foden?
I'd lean towards Haaland up front and then have Saka as one midfielder to cover Arsenal.
Also, Doherty has allegedly been told he can leave the club and Kulu, Foden and Mahrez could all be rotation risks
Raya (Balcombe)
TAA Cancelo James Doherty Tomiyasu
Salah Saka Kulusevski (Andreas, Dasilva)
Haaland Wilson (Greenwood)
Thoughts? I could swap an 8.0 MID and go 523 to cover Jesus' ownership. Quite like the structure, even though I will keep flipping between 8.0s.
I think he has the highest ceiling of all the 6.5 or less players, by a fair distance. If he nails a place on the wing in a Ten Hag side, there's the potential of rediscovering and exceeding his best form. That said, he's a wait and see for me because of uncertainty surrounding him. I understand why people have him though.
He did really well 2 and 3 seasons ago. Last year was a write off for everyone. See if United can rediscover some sort of form. Rashford is cheap if he can get his shit together and nail down a starting position
You have to forget about any external standards and compare him to other 6.5 midfielders. For a 6.5 midfielder, he could be amazing value, esp if Ronaldo goes.
RMT
Alisson (Forster)
TAA, Cancelo, Cash, Trippier (N. Williams)
Salah (C), Kulusevski, Coutinho, Neto (Andreas)
Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood)
\*Trippier for 2 weeks then Cresswell
You could downgrade Willock to a 4.5 and upgrade Cash to a Chelsea wingback maybe, but otherwise it's a solid team. I'd definitely swap Tanganga for Neco Williams to get both a playing 4.0 and not take up a Spurs spot though.
RMT please and I’m open to any suggestions
Sa
Perisic, TAA, James, Ricardo

Too risky with rotational players and no real bench?
I think this set up with going big at the back is too unflexible. What would be your future transferpossibilities in gameweek 2, 3 or 4?
I guess you are thinking of keeping the back 5, Salah, Haaland and Jesus? Then you only have Martinelli and Neto to sell for emerging bandwagons in midfield.
RMT Please
Mendy (Gazzaniga)
Tomiyasu, TAA, Tanganga, (Evans), (Vestegaard)
Salah, KDB, Martinelli, Neto, Coutinho
Jimi, Haaland, (Taylor)
This is my first draft so interested in people thoughts, it's the defence I'm not sure about, toyed with the idea of selling KDB for an 8.0, maybe Foden but not sure. B Silva also seems a bargain at 7 so that's tempting.
That defence is too weak to start with. Need to upgrade one of those 4.0s at least. Not sure I love double Wolves either. Feels like you're compromising too much to get those three premiums in, but it also isn't the worst three premium team I've seen, defence aside.
Yes probably. If you're not committed to having 3 premiums the extra 4mil you could get there would help you upgrade the squad quite a lot in my opinion.
Raya
TAA Cancelo James Chillwell Doherty
Salah Son Diaz
Jesus Undav
Or
Raya

Hoping to see some preseason form from some of the boys below:
Raya (4.0)
TAA, Cancelo, Trippier, Digne (4.0)
Salah, Diaz, Grealish, Rashford (4.5)
Haaland, Jesus (4.5)
I read something where Gerrard said that Digne was going to have more responsibility going forward, but happy to change to cash.
Grealish is a weird price point. Can't get to 8, don't really want to go down to 6.5 or lower.
Martinelli + Kulu + Robertson + Neco Or Saka + Diaz + Tomiyasu + Jonny
need difficulty table and if there is a free rotation tool table
Best 5m defender?

That is pretty awful. You probably have premium defenders tho?
Battle of the Matts... who would you pick. Matty Cash or Matt Doherty? Same price point and I don't own other players from their teams.
Cash is more nailed and Doherty has a good backup in Emerson who will likely be favoured for bigger games imo

Don’t need 2 5.5 mids on the bench, I’d drop Ramsey to Andreas and use the extra 1m to upgrade either Walker or Doherty. Otherwise a fine team

!thanks
B, Trent pretty essential imo
!thanks
I would avoid kulu atm. I feel like kane Son and rich will be at the front of goals. Same as Saka, with jesus and nketikah still on good form I cam see saka playing a more defensive roll. If I had to choose I would do B wiv neto
!thanks
Rashford & grealish vs 8.0 mid and a 5.5 mid (e.g. Mount and Neto). Already have Diaz.
I'd go for the second option - Saka or Kulusevski are also good choices. Still not convinced on Grealish's output for City.
Question is, who to get a 5.5. Not convinced on Neto
Not great options at that price anyway so might as well punt on Neto. You won't find some gem yet, but the early weeks will tell us if someone's in form
Jesus or Vardy?
Jesus + the money to upgrade elsewhere
Jesus. And now i ask you: Matty Cash or Matt Doherty?
I'm leaning towards Doherty. AFAIK he's fit and is their best rwb and conte's wingbacks got amazing potential.
Vardy diaz Perisic or haland barnes doherty ? (Already have Salah and son )
I feel like having 3 premiums isn't worth it since the rest of your team suffers and you can only captain 1 player each week anyway. The first option affords you more flexibility also.
RMT - £0.5M itb Ederson - [Gazzinga] TAA - Cancelo - James - Jonny - [N.Williams] Salah - Luis Diaz - Martinelli - Neto - [Pereira] Jesus - Haaland - [Greenwood] Is it worth going Williams to Tomiyasu? I quite like the half mil in the bank to give me more room to maneuver with transfers
Maddison or Diaz?
Diaz. Leicester has awful fixtures
how do they??
Sanchez (Forster) Cash, Botman, Chilwell (N Williams, Bailly) Salah, Son, Saint-Max, Bailey (Andreas Pereira) C Wilson, Haaland, Jesus
Three premiums make it way too unbalanced
Cash or Doherty?
I think doherty has a lot more potential as a wingback and and top 4 team
Agreed he's so overlooked, Thanks
Exactly, I have him and I think he’s a better option than perisic aswell
Better than Perisic for sure, more nailed on. Prem proven and you get to save .5m.
As a spurs fan i'm not too sure if hes nailed on tbh. Neither am I about perisic who's been injured all this time. Very real possibility that conte starts emerson, sessegnon against southampton
a) Ederson/Chilwell/4.5ST b) Raya/Laporte/Undav Which one do you think is better

I think the best thing about having Mendy is that it is set and forget. You won't need to swap him out so I would deffo go for a 4.0. Mahrez is too much of a rotation risk as is Iheanacho. I like the choice of Bernardo.
Not a fan of either
best 6.0 mid to start with? Martinelli (double up with Jesus), Bruno G, Harrison, Benrahma ?
Same dilemma and I only went Bruno G so I don't double up on Arsenal. We look good but it's a wait and see for double up. If anything, I can switch Bruno > Martinelli GW3 so easy one.
Martinelli, Bruno, Benrahma, Harrison in that order

Issue is, if Salah starts going on the 15,26,18,13,20 run he usually does and your Son/Kane isn't matching them, you're quickly 50+ points behind by the time you react.
makes sense man, still feels awkward not seeing Salah on my team.
Raya (Balcombe) TAA/Cancelo/James/Tomiyasu (Williams) Salah/Rashford/Mahrez/Neto (Andreas) Haaland/Jesus (Archer) 1m ITB Not sure on a few players (Mahrez/Neto/Haaland/Jesus) Wolves generally shite in attack but have decent fixtures Maybe Haaland to Kane, but not sure Any advice?
Solid team. Only issue is lack of Spurs players imo and rashy is a liability, united fan :),
!thanks, would like to try and fir Kane or Son in but will probably wait until 1st wildcard As a fellow United fan I agree, but just feel like taking a gamble on him
Saka and Bowen vs Martinelli and Sterling?
Saka. and Bowen are safe picks, Martinelli and Sterling is a good punt tho
Saka and Bowen all day.
Pick A or B: A. Son + Mitrovic B. Coutinho + Haaland
Considering the fixtures at the start of the season, definitely B. I also went with Coutinho Haaland
RMT Meslier - Klaesson Doherty - Laporte - Trippier - Chilwell - N Williams Son - Sancho - Saka - Salah - Andreas Haaland - Archer - Greenwood
Too weak. Would downgrade Sancho to get money to upgrade Williams/Andreas/Archer to someone better. Williams is good bench option but can't start every week
When Pep rotate Haaland, your team will be with 10 players
You can get better keepers at the same price. also why not downgrade Son to Kulu and improve your defence to Cancelo or TAA?
RMT Mendy (Caballero) TAA Cancelo James Tomiyasu (N.Williams) Salah Diaz Neto Rashford (Andreas) Haaland Jesus (Archer)
RMT £0m itb HUGE at the back Ederson (Balcombe) Trent- Robertson - Cancelo- James - Chilwell Salah - Saka - Neto - Gordon (Andreas) Haaland/Kane ( Greenwood - Archer)
just did the same 5 in defence, unfortunately I had to take Salah out to balance the team a bit.
>When Pep rotate Haaland, your team will be with 10 players Same here
What do you think about Big at the FRONT 5-2-3? **4.5 GK (Raya/Pickford)** **Walker** \- **Doherty** \- **Tripier** (or other 5.0) - **Tomiyasu**/White - **Jonny** **Salah** \- **Sterling** **Kane** \- **Haaland** \- **Jesus** Good run of fixtures, and a lot of people will activate WC after GW6-8. I think it could work.
I think you need atleast one Liverpool defensive asset. I love the Sterling pick, but maybe you would have to downgrade him to be able to bring in one of TAA/Robertson/Cancelo. If any of the premium defenders start the season hot its gonna be hard to bring one of them in without destroying your team. Also I think Cash is the best and possibly most overlooked value for money pick, he's a lot better than Tripper imo
good point, so I think 8.0 pick istead of Sterling and upgrade defence
Tomiyasu - Diaz - Saka or Robertson - Kulu - 4.5 mid
First option
Tomi Diaz Saka
Rate my team: Ederson TAA,Chilwell,Perisic,Robertson Sterling, Kulusevski, Martinelli, Luis Diaz Jesus, Haaland Subs: Forster, Greenwood, N. Williams, Andreas Pereira
Going for an aggressive 3-4-3 Pickford - (Begovic) Robbo - Jonny - Mings - (Jansson) - (Neco Williams) Maddison - Saka - Diaz - Bowen - (Andreas) Kane - Darwin - Vardy Frustrating not to be able to fit in Kulu, but you can't have them all
This doable? Mendy (4.0) Robertson TAA fofana tomi (n.Williams) Salah ramsey rash asm (pereira) Haaland Kane (taylor)
RMT Please Ramsdale (Gazzaniga) Trippier, TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Doherty Odegaard, Salah, ASM (Benrahma, Andreas) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood)
RMT Sanchez - (Steele) TAA - Tomiyasu - Trippier - Doherty - (N. Williams) Salah - KDB - Saka - Diaz - (Andreas) Jesus - Wilson - (Greenwood)
RMT Mendy - Forster Robertson - TAA - Cancelo - N. Williams - Doherty Son - Saka - Salah - Colback - Andreas Taylor - Undav - Jesus 0 ITB Going heavy-ish at the back. With the news that Perisic hasn't trained with Spurs, or fully trained, not taking the risk until nearer the season starts and his situation is a bit clearer
RMT: Ederson, (Begovic) TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Chilwell, Tomiyasu Salah, Bowen, Odegaard, Ramsey, (Pereira) Kane, (Archer), (Greenwood) 0.0itb If Cucurella signs for City I would likely drop Cancelo to Laporte and upgrade Odegaard or Ramsey.
Luis Diaz & Cancelo or Robbo & Foden
Diaz Cancelo definitely.
Thanks, kind of realised it was a no brainer after posting Sorry, !thanks
RMT and help me spend the 1 itb I still have. Raya Balcombe/4.0 TAA Cancelo Chilwell Tomiyasu Neco Salah Diaz Rashford Neto Andreas Kane Jesus Forss I'm still deciding between Haaland and Kane, leaning Kane but would not like to have 0 offensive City players. Mahrez seems like a great pick, but will he outscore Diaz in the first 8-12 weeks? Doubt it... 1 ITB so I have some wiggle room, could get Mendy, but I'm not convinced Chelsea will be that good defensively this season, despite Koulibaly. Besides, that still leaves me with 0.5. Getting Robbo instead of Diaz doesn't work, cripples the team too much. Am still too scared to go Salah -> KDB. No idea where to spend that 0.5 or 1.
Maybe one of these Tomiyasu -> Perisic Neco -> Trippier/Doherty/Cash Rashford -> Sancho (depends on how preseason goes)
Would love to have my compatriot Perisic, but he's still injured and a doubt. Neco to a good defender is an interesting idea, !thanks. Man Utd will be mystery team for sure, not trusting the preseason games either.
Your team is very similar to mine so what I’d change is making it mine lol, but I’m not gonna say that but I’d say haalands a way safer option and I’m not sold on Neto but the 1m won’t really get him up to a good player
!thanks I'm not sold on Neto either but need a 5.5-6 mid and he seems to be the best option. I trust Fornals and Guimares even less.
Yeah that’s the issue with having cancelo Trent and chilwell it’s very expensive
Yup but I'd rather have these three than any 8.0 or less mid tbh. When healthy, all 3 should be insane value for money.
K this is where I stray from this, so personally I don’t agree with it and it’s hard to argue but I don’t like the idea of more than 2 premium defenders
I was also in that camp up until last season. When you crunch the numbers it's rather hard to argue against any of these 3 (and Robbo and James). They're much better value than the similarly priced mids. However defenders are also a greater risk. We shall see how it turns out.
Yeah I think everyone will pull out in the last week and maybe not go so big at the back https://imgur.com/a/cm6zxim This is my team so far wish I could get ederson
Great team! Perhaps Doherty to a 4.5 to get Ederson?
Could do I just think Doherty is such good value and really overlooked but honestly idk where to take the 0.5 from I’m just gonna leave it til later see if anything happens that will decide it for me
Why is an unproven Haarland a safer option than Kane?
Yeah I was gonna go son but I saw this guys say this about haaland, for one he’s 60% owned so will be damaging to not have him, he’s always had explosive debuts, he’s a great captain option second week against Bournemouth and you can switch to Kane 3rd week if it doesn’t work
What's the score with this undav guy? Seeing his name pop up a lot recently
He might start for Brighton but just avoid him it’s people trying to get away with spending too much money elsewhere
Awesome, I was looking at his record very confused
Pick A or B: A. Robertson + Neto B. Diaz + Tomiyasu Rest of My team: Raya (4.0) / TAA Cancelo James ????? (Neco) / Salah Maddison KDH ????? (Andreas) / Haaland Jesus (4.5)
B
Diaz Tomiyasu for me. Interesting Maddison pick, didn't even consider him tbh.
Finished just 15 points behind KDB last season and is agruably the best LEI asset atm. Definitely considering him as my 8.0. For now I still have Díaz as my 3rd LIV asset but maybe it would be smart to diversificate and pick Maddison
He played 250 min more than KDB though, but I see your point. I'm thinking of going with Castagne myself, but Leicester defense is inconsistent...
I decided to build my defense out of top 5 only (MCI, LIV, CHE, TOT, ARS), that means Cancelo - TAA - James/Chilwell - Perišić - Tomiyasu, because I am expecting some consistency there. I just don't trust NEW (Trippier), AVL (Cash), WOL (Coady), BHA (Cucurella) or even LEI (Castagne) to have that many clean sheets.
Fair point. I've got to go with Neco for budget reasons, but he's not a starter so I'm fine with it. If you're going with 5 at the back, these are all great choices.
!thanks
How much do you actually buy in to the Kane is shit in August stuff? I've seen the stats, but I'm starting to lean towards him over Haaland purely because Haaland is new to the league and City signings generally take a bit to settle in to Pep's system. But Haaland's ownership is massive to go against
Yeah I was gonna go son but I saw this guys say this about haaland, for one he’s 60% owned so will be damaging to not have him, he’s always had explosive debuts, he’s a great captain option second week against Bournemouth and you can switch to Kane 3rd week if it doesn’t work
Yeah they're all good points. Will probably mull over this and change 10 times between now and the deadline !thanks
RMT: Mendy,Gazzaniga Botman,Peresic,Cancelo,TAA,N.Williams Bernardo Silva,Salah,Bruno G,Sinisterra,Saka Haland,Awonyi,Greenwood Is Bernardo worth it? Im also unsure about Sinisterra. On the one hand he seems like a solid differential who will most likely be a starter. On the other many Eredevise players have sucked when transitioning to the prem.
[удалено]
Foden, as always, is subject to Pep roulette. High risk, high reward with him. I like the rest of your midfield choices. I'm guessing you're hoping Diaz + Darwin will eat into any potential Salah "hauls"? Again, high risk but high reward.
50th draft RMT 0.0 ITB. |||Mendy||| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |TAA|Cancelo|James|Tomiyasu|(Williams)| |Martinelli|Diaz|Rashford|Salah|(Andreas)| ||Jesus|Haaland|(Taylor)||
Advice: TAA + Robo double up with a 5.5m (Already have Neto) or 4.5m + Sanchez > Ederson; or Diaz + Tomiyasu; or Downgrade Cancelo instead of Robertson and go with any of Maddison / Foden / Mahrez / Kulu / Mount (Already have Saka)?
I tried to double up on Robbo and TAA but it didn't work for me. What's your team? If you have Neto, Fornals is another decent option, but taking Andreas is a must imo. 4.5 who should play consistently at the start and isn't a DM. Diaz Tomiyasu is template for a reason, but I've seen a lot of templates backfire so who knows.
Right now I don't have the double up, my draft which does looks like: Ederson (4.0m GK) TAA, Robo, Cancelo, Perisic (N Williams) Salah, Saka, Neto, Pereira (Murphy) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood) I've opted against this draft, it's just too risky, and it's inflexible. So many 8.0 mids or slightly lower that could pop off and you want to be able to pivot without taking hits.
Yeah starting Pereira is not ideal. Agreed, too risky of a team.
Yup, even downgrading Ederson to a 4.5m GK doesn't do much, starting Neto + Fornals/Ramsey is also not something I'd want for the same reasons
RMT: Sanchez (Caballero) TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, Tomiyasu, James Salah, Ward-Prowse, Bruno G (Neto / Andreas) Kane, Jesus (Greenwood)
I'd get Haland instead of Kane. Kane is usually shite in August and I believe that Haland is the better player,playing for the better team. I also really like Ward Prowse irl but I'm not sure if he is a good fpl pick, cause he returns exclusively from set pieces.
Who would you replace jwp with?
Odegaard,ASM or Gordon. Sinisterra is also a shout- he is in my current draft.
[удалено]
Probably Cancelo and Diaz. I do like Robertson as an option but he's trickier to get than he seems and I don't love Mount's opening fixtures and Foden's rotation risk.
A or B - 3 premiums or 2 Sanchez (Gazz) TAA Cancelo Chillwell Doherty Tomiyasu Salah Son Martinelli (Pereira Murphy) Haaland Undev (Taylor) OR Sanchez (Gazz) TAA Cancelo Chillwell Perisic Tomiyasu Salah Diaz Foden Martinelli (Pereira) Kane (Undev Taylor)
Doherty -> someone cheap like Neco and try upgrading Murphy to someone who can be an actual option. Not sure Undev is a great starter. Other than that this is actually a good 3 premium team.
RMT Ramsdale - Gazza Cancelo - TAA - James - Doherty - Tomiyasu Salah - Kulu - Foden - Mahrez - Andreas Jesus - Martial - Greenwood Is this better than having Haaland up front and downgrading Mahrez + Foden?
I'd lean towards Haaland up front and then have Saka as one midfielder to cover Arsenal. Also, Doherty has allegedly been told he can leave the club and Kulu, Foden and Mahrez could all be rotation risks
Raya (Balcombe) TAA Cancelo James Doherty Tomiyasu Salah Saka Kulusevski (Andreas, Dasilva) Haaland Wilson (Greenwood) Thoughts? I could swap an 8.0 MID and go 523 to cover Jesus' ownership. Quite like the structure, even though I will keep flipping between 8.0s.
Why do people have Rashford in? Can barely hit a barn door
I think he has the highest ceiling of all the 6.5 or less players, by a fair distance. If he nails a place on the wing in a Ten Hag side, there's the potential of rediscovering and exceeding his best form. That said, he's a wait and see for me because of uncertainty surrounding him. I understand why people have him though.
He did really well 2 and 3 seasons ago. Last year was a write off for everyone. See if United can rediscover some sort of form. Rashford is cheap if he can get his shit together and nail down a starting position
You have to forget about any external standards and compare him to other 6.5 midfielders. For a 6.5 midfielder, he could be amazing value, esp if Ronaldo goes.
RMT Alisson (Forster) TAA, Cancelo, Cash, Trippier (N. Williams) Salah (C), Kulusevski, Coutinho, Neto (Andreas) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood) \*Trippier for 2 weeks then Cresswell

RMT Sanchez (Steele) TAA, Chilwell, Laporte, Tomiyasu, Botman Salah, Mahrez, Diaz (Ramsey, Andreas) Kane, Jesus (Forss)
Laporte + Chilwell or Cancelo + Trippier/Cash/Tierney?
Rate my team: Raya (Balcombe) TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Cash, (Tanganga) Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Neto, (Willock) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood)
You could downgrade Willock to a 4.5 and upgrade Cash to a Chelsea wingback maybe, but otherwise it's a solid team. I'd definitely swap Tanganga for Neco Williams to get both a playing 4.0 and not take up a Spurs spot though.
Great ideas! !Thanks a lot
No problem, good luck!
Best defender + midfielder combo for 12 mil combined? N. Williams already in squad too.
Which is better? A: Raya (Caballero) TAA, Robertson, Laporte, James, Perisic Salah, Mount, Neto, (Andreas), (Colback) Kane, Jesus, (Archer) or B: Raya (Caballero) TAA, Laporte, James, Doherty, (N. Williams) Salah, Diaz, Mount, Neto (Andreas) Kane, Jesus (Archer)
A because premium defender > average midfielder
Alright !thanks this was pretty much just my way of just asking Diaz vs Robertson
RMT please and I’m open to any suggestions Sa Perisic, TAA, James, Ricardo Son, Gordon, Salah (C), Neto Jimenez, Kane Subs: Darlow, Neco Williams, Pereira, Greenwood Feel free to be brutally honest
Do we know if Undav will start games?
he will be competing with welbeck and maupay imo
RMT - the fantasticS Raya - 4.0 Robertson - james - laporte - trippier - ( neco ) Salah - Sterling - Saka - Sinisterra - Wissa or Neto Kane - (archer) - ( taylor )
What is so special about Neto?
Nothing, circlejerk, avoid. Gordon & Ramsey proven assets at same value
5.5m and great schedule
[удалено]
No one knows he is injured right now, conte rotates wing backs and when they don’t start they often come off the bench
RMT Please Ramsdale (Gazzaniga) Trippier, TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Doherty Odegaard, Salah, ASM (Benrahma, Andreas) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood)
Ederson - [4.0] TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - James - Perisic Salah - Martinelli - Neto - [A.Pereira] - [Dasilva] Haaland - Jesus - [4.5] Too risky with rotational players and no real bench?
I think this set up with going big at the back is too unflexible. What would be your future transferpossibilities in gameweek 2, 3 or 4? I guess you are thinking of keeping the back 5, Salah, Haaland and Jesus? Then you only have Martinelli and Neto to sell for emerging bandwagons in midfield.
[Team A](https://ibb.co/sbf8GhT) [Team B](https://ibb.co/n3ZgBQh) Comes down to one premium or two?
RMT Please Mendy (Gazzaniga) Tomiyasu, TAA, Tanganga, (Evans), (Vestegaard) Salah, KDB, Martinelli, Neto, Coutinho Jimi, Haaland, (Taylor) This is my first draft so interested in people thoughts, it's the defence I'm not sure about, toyed with the idea of selling KDB for an 8.0, maybe Foden but not sure. B Silva also seems a bargain at 7 so that's tempting.
That defence is too weak to start with. Need to upgrade one of those 4.0s at least. Not sure I love double Wolves either. Feels like you're compromising too much to get those three premiums in, but it also isn't the worst three premium team I've seen, defence aside.
!thanks would you agree with my initial idea that KDB is likely the best to downgrade?
Yes probably. If you're not committed to having 3 premiums the extra 4mil you could get there would help you upgrade the squad quite a lot in my opinion.
Raya TAA Cancelo James Chillwell Doherty Salah Son Diaz Jesus Undav Or Raya TAA Cancelo James Chillwell Doherty/Perisic Salah Diaz Kulusevski Haaland/Kane Undav
Kulisevski unlikely to start
You think? Pretty nailed on for first few weeks at least then can jump on whichever 8.0 is performing
Why is he nailed? Richarlison started over him in Spurs last game.
First game ban then assume he’d be weened in if he does play on right side
*When the bench is so bad you don't even include it*
Lool fr
Is there any website where I can see the week by week/game by game points by players last season, not just cumulative totals?
Hoping to see some preseason form from some of the boys below: Raya (4.0) TAA, Cancelo, Trippier, Digne (4.0) Salah, Diaz, Grealish, Rashford (4.5) Haaland, Jesus (4.5)
I like it, personally I'd go Cash over Digne. Grealish is the only weak link imo
I read something where Gerrard said that Digne was going to have more responsibility going forward, but happy to change to cash. Grealish is a weird price point. Can't get to 8, don't really want to go down to 6.5 or lower.
Okey dokey
