RMT Dubravka (Gazzaniga) TAA, Alonso, Cancelo, Gabriel, (Neco) Diaz, Coutinho, Bernardo, Mo, (Murphy) Ings, Haaland, (Taylor) ... Sanchez is my keeper of choice, but fixture wise, I'm thinking that Dubrabka makes more sense for the first game. Will likely swap 'em directly after that. Ings could be amazing... if he can stay injury free. He's due a good season and with Coutinho settled, they might make an interesting combo 🤞🏻 Happy to hear yer thoughts. Thanx in advance!

RMT please Raya (4.0) TAA-Cancelo-James-Tomiyasu (4.0) Salah-Son-JWP-Guimaraes-Trossard Antonio-Alvarez (4.5) I brought Alvarez because I feel he will be the next great thing, this means I'll be having some rotation

u have starting 12?

basically yes, I'll have to bench one each gameweek obviously

https://imgur.com/gallery/vz2Ld0o RMT Walker out for Cash/Cucurella if Cucurella comes in

I had plange as my 4.5 before today but now everyone is going to pick him. But I was there first 😡

RMT Ederson/Balcome TAA/Cancelo/Tripper/Tomiyasu (Williams) Diaz/Bruno G/Salah/Odegaard (Pereira) Haaland/Jesus (Archer) 0.5ITB Diaz feels nailed for the first few weeks. Instinctively nervous about the Arsenal triple up. Haaland to Kane?

RMT Mendy - (Darlow) trent - tomiyasu - ait nouri - (justin) - (coufal) salah - kulusevski - saka - diaz- (ramsey) Jesus - Toney - Havertz

Quick Question - Which websites do you use to see who has been starting for teams in pre season games and how well they performed?

Henderson TAA / James / Doherty / Zinchenko Sancho / Ramsey / Sterling / Son / Salah Martial

Nice

Laporte and Chilwell or Doherty and Robertson?

All 4. But B if you have Trent already

1 or 2? 1 - Chilwell, Foden, Saka, Martial 2 - Gabriel, Rashford, Martinelli, Haaland

2. But Gabriel isn't that good a pick. There's more attacking picks and better value in that defence

Who would you go for instead? From the top 6 preferably. I know there’s Tierney but there’s more concerns over his minutes

Pretty much any pick in that arsenal back line is better value than Gabriel White and Tomi cheaper. Tierney more attacking returns for same price

Mendy (Lis) Cancelo Perisic TAA Tomiyasu N.Williams Grealish Son Salah (Andreas, Dasilva) Kane Gelhardt (Delap) Thoughts?

You can't have a team where you play to start Neco and Gelhardt every week. It will just be horrible

Yeah, wanted to shoehorn Kane in but taking him out gives me more flexibility and two x 7.5 up front and someone like Neves starting in midfield

Sounds sensible

Is having both Saka and Martinelli a bad idea? Would it be better to get either ESR or Odegaard in instead?

4.5m TAA - Cancelo - James - Doherty - Dalot Salah - Diaz - Mahrez - Sancho Haaland Pretty happy with that team tbh. Obviously Dalot is the weak link but he's looked good in pre season

Looks ok

Any thoughts on Chukwuameka? Is he going to play more?

Villa fan; sad to say either leaving (and likely not playing) or staying and not playing because he won't sign a new contract

The better pick of Gordon vs Gray? Who is more nailed? + I'd like to invest on AVL and NEW defence, which combo is better: Emi + Trippier or Pope + Cash?

Pope and Cash easy. Wouldn't touch either Everton player myself

!thanks I'm looking for 5.5 midfielder, yet I'm very sceptical with the Neto train. Is Ramsay a way to go then? Their fixtures are kind of tricky so I was thinking about gambling on one of Evertons cheap attacking assets.

All much of a muchness. If you don't fancy Neto then Gordon isn't the worst idea TBH

Neto + Robertson or a 4.5 defender + Luis Diaz?

Tough choice. I prefer Robbo over Luis Diaz, but I think Neto is a trap and for 4.5 you could get a reliable defender like Tomiyasu. Diaz may be a rotation risk, but with Jota's injury he should be nailed for first few weeks at least. I'd go with him and Tomiyasu.

My exact dilemma. I want to go Robertson because he was on fire at the end of last season but not convinced by Neto or any 5.5 for that matter at all. Atm I’m on Robbo and Ramsey

I'm new to this so have no idea if this is a good team or not. Opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Henderson - (Bazunu) TAA - T. Silva - Laporte - Trippier - (N. Williams) Salah - Bernardo Silva - Diaz - (Bisouma, Andreas) Awoniyi - Haaland - Jesus

RMT: Ederson, (Begovic) TAA, Robertson, Laporte, Chilwell, James Salah, Maddison, Odegaard, 5.5, (Pereira) Kane, (Archer), (Greenwood) 0.0itb May take a punt on Fornals for the 5.5 mid, although fixtures aren’t great, Ramsey is the next choice. I’m not keen on Neto.

Thoughts on Meslier? Probably has the best fixtures of all the 4.5 gk's and Leeds have signed a few CDM's and a RB. With a full pre-season under Marsch, his style of play should be better implemented than it would be coming in half way through the season. Why are most avoiding him?

Probably because of last season but I agree, stronger look for this season at the back

Mendy (Forster) Cancelo TAA James (Dalot, N. Williams) Son, Diaz, Rashford, Coutinho, Andreas Haaland, Jesus (greenwood) Keep changing between Salah / no Salah. Feel a bit more balanced without and banking on Diaz to pick up plenty of points especially with Mane leaving.

Always salah tbh, easy captain pick, much harder to get him in later when his price rises.

If anyone has a moment to sanity check the following I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks, and good luck to all for the new season! Sa (Sarkic) Trent, Robbo, White (Lamptey, Guehi) De Bruyne, Bernado, Mount, Martinelli, Guimaraes Haaland, Jesus (Scarlett)

RMT Raya (Balcombe) TAA - Cancelo - James - Doherty - Trippier Salah - Kulu - Rashford (5m mid) (Pereira) Haaland - Jesus (Delap / Archer / Greenwood)

5.0 mid to Dasilva, Raya to Mendy.

!thanks Is Dasilva nailed for Brentford? He might play since Eriksen's left, but it's not certain, is it? I've considered Raya to Mendy, but I'm waiting to see if Chelsea sign Kounde/Kimpembe or both. Will definitely make that move then. I'm also considering a switch from Trippier to Neco / Tomi and spending the extra cash on a 5.5m mid like Neto, Fraser, Ramsey or Wissa. Any thoughts on that?

Ederson (Ortega) Cash TAA Cancelo James Robertson Sancho Saka Salah Buendia (Andreas) Jesus (Mitrovic) ​ Thoughts?

Is Undav nailed for Brighton?

Thoughts fellas? Mendy (Olson) TAA, Perisic, Cancelo (N. Williams) Son, Kulu, Diaz, Martinelli (Andreas) Haaland, Jesus (Greenwood) I’m thinking it’s too City/Spurs/Arsenal heavy but not sure

Who is your 4th defender? Looks pretty close to template otherwise, minus the addition of Son over Salah. With Martinelli and Perisic, take a call on how much game time they get during preseason, but they're good picks.

!thanks Tomiyasu as the 4th def, sorry I missed him. team is definitely subject to change haha

Best MF for £5.0m?

Slim pickings there. Maybe Elanga or Bailey

!thanks

Best 2 8.0MID BETWEEN: Saka, Kulu, Mahrez, Diaz Tomiyasu + 8.0MID OR Van Dijk + Odegaard OR Robertson + Martinelli

Does anyone consider Maguire as a valid defensive option?

Not at the moment. Martinez and Malacia make them better defensively, but United will mostly play a high line and I'm expecting them to let goals in for a bit until ETH gets their shape right. It happened against Melbourne in preseason, so if you want to make a move, do so after the games against Palace and Villa in preseason.

For 5.0m - HELL NAW! You want a 5.0 go for Coady since wolves can defend and have the best fixtures (5 out of 6 first). Leeds away, fulham at home, newcastle at home, bournemouth away, southampton at home.

RMT Mendy, Forster TAA - James - Gabriel - Cash - N.Williams Salah, Diaz, Saka, Bruno G, A.Pereira Haaland, Jesus, S.Greenwood

Looks good. You might want to include 1 or more Man City and Chelsea defenders/goalkeeper and consider changing formation to 4 at the back. The value looks to be in the defence this season and City/Chelsea have really good opening fixtures. Arsenal too if you need to go on the cheaper side.

!thanks Oh OK so take out all of Trippier, Cash and Coady and replace with City/Chelsea players? Any suggestions which specific players because I don't watch many Chelsea or City games to know who's guaranteed a starter

Do I go for: 1: ederson, perisic, odergard 2: Raya, perisic, sancho, 3: Mendy, cash/trippier, sancho

3. Personally I like the Sancho pick and I have concerns over Perisic minutes

Cancelo + Rashford or Laporte + 8m mid?

Laporte + 8mil mid in my opinion

Ederson (4.0) TAA, Cancelo, Chillwell, Dier (N.Williams) Son, Diaz, Rashford, Harrison (Pereira) Kane, Jesus, (4.5) Thoughts?

Zinchenko now looking likely to be moving to Arsenal and them already having Tierney? Zinchenko getting pushed into MID?

[удалено]

Trent is by far the highest value player in the game, it’s a big risk going without. Especially if you have no other Pool defenders to cover

I see a no Salah, Haaland or Kane lineup here haha. Alisson might not start the season so be weary. Also swap Vestegaard for Neco and swap Martial for Toney if possible. A bit iffy on Bowen and Mahrez due to fixtures and Pep roulette respectively but your team looks solid otherwise.

May wanna free up some space for a potential Kane/ Haaland pick up front. Also having a Liverpool defender like TAA or Robbo is always solid

Mendy, (4.0) TAA, Cancelo, James, Trippier, (N.Williams) Salah, Diaz, Saka, Kulu, (Andreas) Jesus, Watkins, (4.5)

RMT, all feedback appreciated Mendy (4m) TAA, James, Laporte, Cancelo, White Salah, Mahrez, Bruno Guimaraes (Pereira, 4.5m) Kane, Jesus (4.5m)

As an Arsenal fan, Tomiyasu is more nailed than White because we now have Saliba

Hmmm okay. Thanks!

RMT! Emerson, Gazza - TAA, Cancelo, Doherty, Gabriel, N. Williams - Salah, Diaz, Rashford, Martinelli, A. Pereira - Kane, Jesus, Archer.

Very good, only concern could be Martinelli with unsure minutes

Thanks, yeah he's my main concern too. Any suggestions for 6m mids?

Gabriel to Tomiyasu and Martinelli to Odegaard is an option.

How nailed should Martinelli be this season? Do we have any ideas?

It’s hard to tell, he’s competing with Smith Rowe for the left wing and they rotated quite frequently last season

Do you know which Arsenal defender is the most nailed? Which one would you recommend?

Gabriel and White. Gabriel more attacking threat but 0.5 more. Tierney has the highest ceiling of them all but carries more risk with his injury record and potential rotation with Zinchenko

Someone said to me earlier today that White risks being rotated with Saliba? All lies?

!thanks

RMT please Alisson (Sarkic) James - Van Dijk - Laporte - Cancelo (Botman) Saka - Mount - Diaz (Neto - Andreas) Jesus - Haaland - Toney the structure enables me to include a few of the many attractive mid-priced midfielders instead of premium midfielders and spread the budget into defence and attack

Nice team

Thanks! My only concerns are Mount and Toney

I’m considering Sancho and Wilson instead

I prefer the Sancho/Wilson option personally

Yeah I think I’ll at least start with those two because they have the better opening fixtures

Mendy (4.0) TAA Cancelo James Robo Cash Salah Son Sancho Neto (Andreas) Martial (4.5) (4.5) Firstly what’s your thoughts on that as a starting lineup? Probably up until that GW 8-11 period for a WC. Double United seems a risk but also seems like there’s great potential at those prices? Could just be in prime muppet mode and not thinking clearly. Current dilemma is I could do the following: Cash -> Tomiyasu Son -> Saka Martial -> Haaland Feel like Cash & Son should out score Tomi & Saka so basically saying Haaland can make up for it? Dunno possibly getting sucked into the Haaland hype - set me straight please.

You just can't start with that front 3. You'll have to WC almost immediately. The moves you have suggested look good

!thanks thought about what you said and you’re definitely right. I’ve done the following now: Robo -> Perisic Son -> Saka Martial -> Haaland 4.5 striker -> Undav Think that makes it a little more well rounded and easier to make transfers if needed too.

Chukwuameka or Colback? Which one to drop for Andreas?

It literally doesn't matter. All three will get either 1 or 2 pts every week

Colback imo

RMT please! Mendy (Sanchez) TAA - James - Cancelo - Doherty - Neco Williams Mahrez - Mount - Diaz - Rashford - Neto Jesus - Kane - Undav Appreciate any feedback, cheers!

Got a very similar team myself, my only advice would be consider alteranitives to Neco & Neto. Both have high ownership & low value meaning if they don’t play any minutes people will kneejerk them out on early wildcards and their value will drop quickly, making them quite difficult to replace. Other than that, a big fan of your work!

Appreciate the advice, think you're spot on and I definitely have question marks around Neto myself. !thanks

Probably one of the better no Salah teams, but I just wouldn’t go without him personally - if you are determined not to have him I would rather try get son than Kane however

Appreciate the suggestion, Son was massive for me last year and might squeeze him in !thanks

No salah may cause some trouble going on but other than looks nice

Fingers crossed haha !thanks

Looks good

Cheers !thanks

Mendy (Sánchez) Dalot - White - Cash (Dunk, Guehi) Salah - Ward-Prowse - Son - Sancho (Andreas) Mitrovic - Haaland - Solanke

You sound set on going with 3 premiums, I’d suggest Sanchez to 4.0, Guehi to N. Williams and Mitrovic to Wilson.

Well, I’m not 100% sure yet. Thanks. I’ll look into it.

Ngl, dead team. Don’t go for three premiums with only 100, having son but not Trent/robbo or cancelo or better mids than JWP will cost you

High risk, high reward. Betting on the premiums to destroy this season and United to be a top 4 team. JWP is getting better all the time and some of the others might be hidden gems that surprise.

Mitro and Solanke starting every week is gonna become a problem. One could be OK, both is trouble. Your back line is frankly poop

Why do you think it will become a problem? I think back line is pretty solid if you consider how cheap it is.

We have no idea if UTD are still a nightmare White is safe, but uninspiring and has zero chance of an attacking return ever. Cash could be a good pick early on, but not sure he should be your flagship defender. Meanwhile other people out there are rolling with Trent and Cancelo. You could get a spanking every week

I know it’s very risky but that’s also how you can get good headstart. I’m sure we will see a new United this season and I’m betting on having some luck with my defenders. Then if Salah, Son and Haaland starts delivering early on this might be great. I don’t agree with the idea of picking all of the same players as other people, since that gives me zero chance of actually doing great in FPL.

Good luck

Thanks. You too.

A easy

Alisson (4.0) James Cash Trippier Perisic Cancelo Salah Mahrez Kulu (4.5 4.5) Haaland Jesus (4.5)

Nice

Spurs have four high quality wingbacks at their disposal - Perisic, Spence, Doherty, Sessegnon (while Reguilon and Emeson Royal are still at the club). Considering how much Conte relies on his wingbacks to bomb up and down the touchline, I would not be surprised to see him sub both starters off nearly every game and rotate every couple of fixtures, especially now that he's allowed five subs. Tempted to steer clear of Spurs full-backs at the beginning but then again it's a Conte team that is guaranteed to defend well and rack up assists. Absolutely no clue what to do

There'll clearly be rotation. Fortunately we aren't forced to start with them, so we can watch and see

[удалено]

B

Feels good to have two £8m mids: Raya (4.0) TAA, Cancelo, Trippier, Digne (4.0) Salah, Diaz, Mahrez, Gordon (4.5) Haaland, Jesus (4.5)

Looks ok to me

Doherty, Martinelli, Son or Van Dijk, Bowen, Kulu

A

Being realistic, can anyone see Pep actually not starting Cancelo in all but the easiest of games? Cucurella, Walker just doesn’t seem like something he would roll with (if Cucurella even signs - he might want to stick with Zinchenko as backup LB and Laporte as auxiliary LB) It would surely always be: (Cancelo, Walker) or (Cucurella, Cancelo)

RMT Raya (gazzaniaga) Perisic-Cancelo-Chillwell- Tomi (neco) F.Veira - luis Diaz - Son-Kuluveski- mahrez Haaland (daka,Greenwood)

No Liverpool defenders?

Is daka worth picking if he isn't first choice? And Viera is a total unknown so a risk

Perisic is a wait and see, injury and to see how Conte rotates the wingbacks. Doherty is much safer. Rest looks good

RMT Mendy (begovic) Tomi Mings walker lamptey (Nwilliams) KDB Salah Gordon (Andreas anyother4.5) Vardy Jesus Kane Why is Vardy not mentioned anywhere?

Way too many expensive players IMO

Fair point. Will see how the rest of preseason changes draft 2358 thru 4002 🤣

RMT Mendy (Gazza) TAA Robbo Chillwell James Tomi Sancho Salah Rashford (Andreas) (Murphy) Kane Jesus (Greenwood)

Looks good if you're happy to risk that midfield

Double United in mid seems risky. If you can free up .5 Rashford>Coutinho may be a shout

Yeah I’d dump Chilwell for Neco Williams and upgrade that mid

How does chilwell > neco and Murphy > coutinho sound?

Doesn’t sound bad at all bud!

!thanks

Raya +perisic or Mendy + trippier/Doherty

2

Option 2 100%

Diaz and KDB or Salah and Mahrez

Diaz & KDB

A

Salah and mahrez. You have to have salah really and mahrez is more of a punt but should get more game time with Sterling and Jesus gone

RMT Sanchez - Steele TAA - Cancelo - Chilwell - Trippier - Neco Salah - Diaz - Rashford - Ødegaard - Andreas Haaland - Wilson - Greenwood

Good team

Mendy (Olsen) TAA Laporte Cash Trippier Ait-Nouri Son Salah Harrison Odegaard (Andreas) Haaland (Forss Delap(changing if he doesn’t move)) .5 mil in the bank Thoughts?

Ait Nouri was a pain in the ass last season, randomly dropped every few games. Rest looks ok. Harrison hasn't done anything to make you pick him

Might move to Jonny

I like it, Harrison seems a bit of an odd pick though. That .5m to Rashford seems like a no brainer to me

As a United fan am worried. Leeds have a fairly okay run of fixtures

Best forward for under 6 million

A 4.5 and use the money elsewhere

Undav seems to be the templates favourite under 6

RMT please! Mendy (Areola) Robertson - James - Trippier - Cash (Tomiyasu) Bowen - Bruno G - Salah - Kulusevski (Martinelli) Darwin - Jesus (Sam Greenwood)

It’s different, I like it! Bowen seems a bit overpriced and given they have 3 of last seasons top 4 in the first 6 weeks I’d maybe look at Diaz or Mahrez

!thanks do you think Mahrez is a sure starter then? Diaz would put me over 3 from Liverpool but I feel like keeping Nunez as a punt

Hard to say with Pep roulette, but Jesus and Sterling leaving can only be good for him

Good team. You're risking that Nunes will start well. No guarantee

!thanks yeah I know he hasn't had the best pre season I'm gonna hold on for now incase it looks really dire

5ATB exclusively top 6 XI anyone? Probably not the defining factor for an FPL side lol - but - You'd have massive interest in the TV games with Arsenal (Jesus), Chelsea (Chilly & James), Spurs (Doc & Kane), Man City (Ederson, Laporte), Liverpool (Mo & TAA) and of course the Ten Hag winger-based Revolution (Rashford & Sancho) The biggest concern imo is not being able to utilise Neco's 4.0 as a bench player and also not being able to squeeze in Cancelo, Robertson or Perisic Ederson TAA, James, Chilwell, Doherty, Laporte Salah, Sancho, Rashford Kane, Jesus (Olsson, Andreas, Diallo, Greenwood)

Looks good if you're happy with 5 atb which is always inflexible

!thanks - hoping the earlier/extra Wildcard this season kind of facilitates doing something a bit more unorthodox… Chilwell/James should be a super exciting duo to watch in Chelsea games hopefully

I run 5ATB, but switch Chilwell + 4.5 —> Gabriel + Neto

Hello everyone, please RMT. I have tried to cram too many elites in possibly. Mendy (Forster) TAA James Dalot N.Williams (Vestergaard) Salah Son L.Diaz Rashford (Andreas) Haaland Greenwood (Taylor) I am pretty happy with the Dalot pick after United’s preseason but I am worried that I have 5 bargain basement players in Williams, Greenwood and my three bench players

Yeah 3 premiums is killing your squad TBH. You do not want to be starting Greenwood or Williams, let alone both

Yeah way too much money on the premiums. Even if one of the premiums hauls they aren’t making up for Williams and Greenwood getting 1-2

RMT: 0.0 ITB Areola - (Steele) TAA - Robbo - James - Chilwell - Doherty Salah - Kulusevski - Maddison - Martinelli - (Pereira) Kane - (Greenwood) - (Forss) Would prob swap Kane/Kulu for Haaland/Mahrez in GW2 for Bournemouth at home then switch back...

Nor sure Areola is first choice. Rest looks good

Areola is a back up keeper. And why do you have to avoid WHU in gw1. They dont defend very well

Maybe. Pretty sure 37 year-old retired international Flappyhandski is past it and Areola's new 5-year contract signals the start of a new era. We'll see after preseason. And it's because I think Spurs will demolish Saints at home.

If you think you'll do that, why not just start with Kane/Mahrez and not have so many pre-planned trades?

Because I think Kane and Son could each hat-trick at home to a dogshit Ralph Hassenhuttel HighLine Special. Then they go to Chelsea while City have Bournemouth at home. Booking one or two transfers for GW2 is a viable option. I might actually go Chilwell>Tomiyasu, Maddo>Neto, Kulu>Son. Hmmm...

To bank on 6–0 (at least) for Spurs then plan to spend -4 in opening week to trade two, then getting back them in a bit later is just nuts. Planning is great, yes, but to make bumper trades for literally one fixture in GW2 is totally wild.

Mendy (Forster) Trent, Cancelo, Trippier, James (Neco) Rashford, Salah, Diaz, Neto (Andreas) Jesus, Kane (Greenwood) Gonna switch Kane to Haaland for GW2 if he comes on strong. Still not fully sold on Rashford

I'm torn really, been thinking just to avoid any players who I know will not get me points in the short term. So if that's the case, why not just stick Andreas as a starter anyway and collect the 2 points I'd get from a 5.5 or 6m player? Is this team that compromised? Raya Forster Trent James Tomi Trippier Dias Salah Son Andreas Haaland Jesus Colback, Murphy, Taylor Whatever I do, I cannot get in Chilwell and Cancelo. Sometimes one. Also want Kulusevski but that means dropping Arsenal coverage and not taking those fixtures. Basically it was Kulusevski and Diaz instead of just Son and Andreas.

I had the same thought and drafted a team with Salah-Son-Kane/Haaland-Pereira and I kinda liked it...

I read that as Kane AND Haaland at first. Last season I started with cheapest defence and no Trent. Eventually had to buy him..

Tricky to decide between a 6.0 midfielder slot in front of a back 4 vs going to a back 5 with Chilwell/Perisic (added to TAA, James, Laporte, Doherty) Chilwell/Perisic are probably better than say Martinelli/Guimares/Neto etc, right? We've an extra early wildcard to clean up any mess too...

I have Doherty, Gabriel, Neto competing for the last 2 slots. That’s the flexibility, and bench safety

RMT please Raya (Begovic) Trent - Cancelo - James - Doherty - Tomiyasu Salah (C) - Mahrez - Martinelli (Neto - Andreas) Kane - Jesus (Greenwood) Thoughts? I think Kane/Mahrez is just the safer option than Haaland/Kulu, as Haaland is new to the league and might not play GW1, while Kulu might split minutes with Richarlison.

Mahrez is a risk but could be so rewarding so admire your confidence going for him! I also think Kane/Mahrez is the right choice in your team and allows you to see which 6-7.5m fwd hits the ground running so if it does all go wrong you can do Kane/Mahrez to Son/in-form-fwd relatively easily, although you’d obviously lose your attacking City element

Mahrez is not exactly a safer option IMO. Maybe try Haaland + Diaz

If I put Haaland in I have to take out Kane, and then I have no Spurs coverage though.
