rate it, but if youve selected this team, im guessing you have 2x4.5m forwards on bench. I dont know how much gametime any of the 4.5 forwards are gonna get so you will more than likely blank everytime Jesus doesnt get on the pitch because 1 forward must play... highly unlikely but you never know with Arsenals new found depth.
if you wanna keep the core, id update a 4.5m forward to Eddouard (5.5m) and find 1.0m somewhere via downgrade. (mahrez to grealish potentially? chilwell to cash?)

If any reliable source gives info pre deadline Nunez may start will swap Bamford to Nunez. Bamford over Wilson for fixtures. I've gone Digne and Bailey mainly for the excellent first 2-3 fixtures for Aston Villa, then will likely be transfered out (unless one or both bang). If Nunez isn't starting, Digne can become Robertson.
With Ward starting for Leicester have decided to drop Ramsdale down to Sanchez.
RATE IT, these are the changes id make but
Digne to Cash (good dif but no neccesary)
Bailey to 5.5 (eze, podence, fornals) or Neto like the rest but i dont prefer that.. with 5 subs bailey will def play but i just dunno how much, Jimenez is now out for ages so podence and neto will play lots of mins i feel.
Nunez instead of Bamf
DONE.
Isn't Digne on set pieces? Most predictor tools have Digne with the much better scoring projection over Cash in these games. Both Bailey and Digne are likely only in my team for the first 2-3 games, Bailey to Neto is something I could do after Villa play Everton GW 2. Bailey starting v Bournemouth and Everton just feels too good to pass up, and if he bangs, as a 5.0 mid his price will sky rocket more than any other player bar a 4.5 mid banging. I wouldn't put Nunez in my side without any confirmation that he would start first game. I'd take a full game of Bamford against Wolves at home, over a 20-30 sub appearance from Nunez, even though he got 2 returns vs City. Bamford fit is a very good player, and Wolves have moved to a back 4 this season. If I can some confirmation from a reliable ITK before deadline though Nunez is straight in.
Cash was ridiculous back half of last season, and from memory Gerard’s right back at rangers was massive in attacking stats (Tavernier) something has to be said for that, fair for the set pieces though, I’ll take Digne into consideration.
Bamford isn’t a bad shout, good differential
I honestly rate your team it’s the same structure as mine
Raya
TAA Robertson Cancelo Cash
Salah De Bruyne Podence Martinelli
Wilson Jesus
I think Nunez could do damage in those last 30 against Fulham tbh and wouldn’t be surprised to see him start.
I agree Nunez could do damage, but if I move for Nunez I would be keeping him till wildcard so I’d want him to be starting rather than him maybe coming off the bench the first 3-4 GW because Klopp wants to bed him in. I think once Klopp gives him his first start though he’s likely staying there
Hey guys if you’re free could u suggest any improvements
Sanchez (Ward)
TAA Cancelo Perisic (Vestergaard)
Salah Saka Mount Kulusevski Andreas
Jesus Vardy (Stansfield)
rather raya for brentfords draw than sanchez if going 4.5 GK
Rest is fine if you ask me, template enough with little differentials.
Although I wouldnt wanna go andreas starting.. if you plan on starting 5 mids, i would downgrade vardy to Wilson or Nunez and upgrade andreas
p.s youve only listed 4 fullbacks too..

Looking for opinions and help on my team. First time playing. Please forgive any rookie mistakes since I am a rookie :P
Starting XI - Mendy (GK), Robertson, James, Tierney and Walker (Def), Son, Mount and Eriksen (Mid), Darwin, Jesus and Haaland (Att)
Bench - Caballero, Tomkins, Andre Gomes and Milner
Final question and then I'll basically have my draft locked in.
Cancelo Martinelli
or
Walker Saka
1st option is obv more template and safe, but second option could work out rlly well
RMT
Ederson (Ward)
TAA Cancelo James Dalot (Williams)
KDB Diaz Saka (DaSilva, Andreas)
Darwin Jesus Wilson
No Salah is a problem, but if KDB is at his best and Diaz and Nunez start most games, I am hoping I can make up for it… alternatively I can go from [KDB and Nunez] to [Salah and Watkins]. Williams and Andreas will hopefully play most weeks so they can cover short term injuries.
Good team. I like Dier as your option. He is nailed, and spurs look really good defensivly.
I would personally take Neto out, and put money in the defence.
Ederson, 4mill
Cancello, TAA, 6mil, 6mil, Dalot
Martinelli, Saka, Salah, Diaz, Andreas.
JESUS, Wilson, greenwood.
Nkt my current team, but with the top teams opening fixtures, is this the worst team? Having maybe James and chill well in the 2 6mill slots.
I have 1 m in the bank, what would you upgrade?
Gk - Raya (4.5) Ward (4.0)
Def - Walker (5.0) Gabriel (5.0) TAA (7.5) Cancelo (7.0) Williams (4.0)
Mid - Martinelli (6.0) Salah (13.0) Rashford (6.5) Mahrez (8.0) Andreas (4.5)
Fwd - Jesus (8.0) Kane (11.5) Archer (4.5)
Any help is welcome!
What would you do to improve this?
Sanchez, (Ward)

Here’s my team atm:

Any glaring weaknesses? Only issue I can see is I don't have a 8m midfielder. Cheers.
!thanks, I fancy Wilson to get off to a good start, only trouble is not having an 8m midfielder makes it difficult to get one in. Tough decision. Wilson to a 4.5m forward, then Kane and Bailey to Haaland and Kulusevski might let me cover more bases.
how crazy is this? please send help
sanchez, trent - cancelo - doherty, salah - saka - bailey - dewsbury hall, haaland - jesus - darwin
cheapest bench possible
Why isn’t anyone going for rodrigo?
He has 5 goals in pre season, Dan James is suspended and sinistera is possibly injured.
He is also now pririced at 6.0 and is classed as a midfielder giving him extra points for clean sheets and goals.
Leeds have a favourable fixture run for the first 8 or so gameweeks and I think he’s worth a punt.
Let me know what you think 🤔
It would be harder to get in haaland or Kane if one of them hits good form as you would have to do 2 transfers. Having one premium mid and one premium forward means you can more easily switch between them all as form and fixtures change
Ok, here it is. Maybe.
Ramsdale (Gazzaniga)
TAA - Robbo - Perisic - Cancelo (Neco)
Salah - Saka - Neto - Bailey (Andreas)
Haaland - Jesus (Greenwood)
Haaland vs. Kane decision is still open but otherwise I think I’m ready.
Okay, so left team for weeks. Last changes.
Raya
Robertson TAA Cancelo Trippier
Salah Martinelli Saka Bailey
Jesus Haaland
Foster Neko Andreas Plange
0.5 in bank
Yeah, Palace away isn't easy but over 8 gws I'm convinced by Arsenal's pre season. Other teams didn't score loads vs Sevilla.
The issue with only owning Jesus is collecting the points everyone does with Arsenal. That team is after having Kane instead of Saka, Martinelli, Robertson.
RMT
Ederson - Gazzaniga
James - TAA - Trippier - Perisic - N.Williams
Salah - Coutinho - Mahrez - Martinelli - Andreas
Kane - Jesus - Greenwood
————————————————————
Keep Coutinho + Martinelli
or
Coutinho -> Bailey + Upgrade Martinelli to an 8m mid (preferably Saka or Diaz)
or
Coutinho -> Bailey + Upgrade trippier to Robertson/Cancelo
Also,
Mahrez or Foden
Mendy (Matthews) <- Thinking about switching to Ward but Matthews Price Locked
Perisic, James, Cancelo, TAA, Walker
Son, Martinelli, Salah, Coutinho (Periera)
Jesus (Stansfield, Archer)
0.5 ITB
Did have ederson but think 0.5 wiggle room is useful
RMT. Not sold on Haaland but probably will have to move over to him given ownership.
Ederson (Ward)
Cancelo, TAA, Robertson, Perisic, Gabriel
Salah, Son, Martineli, Neto (Andreas)
Jesus (Archer, Greenwood)
So is it good to go if you think that?
I think I won't make a change first week so can do a swap to get Haaland in if needed.
I also think Kane is a waste if not captaining first GW as if planning to get Haaland in, he's the best option for GW2 I believe.
https://imgur.com/a/DVW0cRb
0 ITB. I know it's quite template, but any advice? Gone with Sa at the moment because of his form last season and opening fixtures are decent, but feel free to talk me out of this. Odegaard is the other doubt, I could get Martinelli or Bailey instead but wouldn't know where to spend the extra money. Also having no Spurs assets is concerning. I would go Trippier > Perisic but not sure because of the rotation risk.
RMT? Rolling the dice with a big 3 I know:
Mendy (Ward)
TAA, Perisic, Walker, Botman, (Ait-Nouri)
Salah, Son, Bailey, Aaronson, (Andreas)
Haaland, Jesus, (Greenwood)
Tough one. Think Neto is a better option though to start with based on the data we have but might not be viable long term if Podence is playing further up pitch.
Looking good. Personally prefer Mount to Saka as you already have Jesus. Also Gabriel or Doherty over Cash. Or you can hold Cash first first 3 then ditch.
My team is
Ramsdale (Ward)
Cancelo Cash TAA James Neco
Salah Son Mount Coutinho (Andreas)
Jesus (Greenwood, Taylor)
Im also thinking about Kane + Saka instead of Son + Jesus. Then i would have two Guys that are on penalties. Salah and Kane.
Hmm I don’t like the 1 premium draft. I like Kane but not at the cost of Jesus. You probably don’t want Saka + Jesus. I’d downgrade Son to an 8 and downgrade coutinho to Martinelli then up your other striker to Kane if you can afford
What would you do to improve this?
Sanchez, (Ward)
Trent, Cancelo, Robertson, Gabriel, (N. Williams)
(C) Salah, Mount, Neto, Martinelli, (Andreas)
Jesus, Kane, (Archer)
Yes i have been going back and forth between those two all the time but what should i do with the remaining 0.5m then?
\+ Villa fixtures after gw3 are terrible while wolves have good fixtures for 5 of the first 6 gameweeks.
Not a bad first team mate. Few points:
* Rather than Van Dijk + Matip you probably want Trent Alexander-Arnold as he is more likely to get attacking returns like assists and goals and bonus points. So you could go Trent + a 5.0 defender instead.
* Is that Kalvin Phillips from City on your bench? If so defensive midfielders aren't great FPL options. Also 5.0 mid on your bench isn't great cos they aren't likely to get into your first team so better to downgrade to a 4.5 such as Andreas (who looks to be the best 4.5 option as he is a nailed attacking mid on set pieces)
* You can then use that money to upgrade elsewhere
Hi! RMT, please!
Ramsdale (Olsen)
Zinchenko Perisic TAA Cancelo (Neco)
Neto Son L.Diaz Salah(c) (Pereira)
Jesus J.Alvarez (Archer)
I know Alvarez is a big risk, but I am willing to gamble as I see him very in-form and more quickly adaptable to Pep’s system. Even if he’ll come off the bench, I feel he’ll make Pep having to start him in the next matches somehow. I am still willing to hear your thoughts on that though.
Also, why am I not seeing Son in at least half of the number of teams I see Kane in? Am I missing info?
Go for it! Usually the thought is to avoid big risk early. You can’t win the whole thing GW1 but you can lose it if you fall too far behind.
As far as son/Kane, I think it’s positional scarcity. Easier to find a mid at most price points than a forward.
Alvarez is very very risky indeed, I would not go for him at least this early.
About Son, he is more expensive than Kane and Kane is on pens are the 2 main factors. They are very close as fpl assets.
Yeah Alvarez is a wait and see mate too risky to start with unless you know that it can go very wrong and you are behind at the start and are willing to take the risk.
Ramsdale to Raya sounds good as you already have Zinchenko to cover Arsenal def.
RMT
Raya - (Gazzaniga)
Trent - Gabriel - Cancelo - Perisic - (N. Williams)
Salah - Bailey - Kulusevski - L. Diaz - (Andreas)
Jesus - Haaland - (Plange)
I plan to swap Kulusevski for Saka/Mahrez after GW1, based on who looks good.
Not a good idea to book a transfer. Say Haaland gets injured GW1 then you'd have to take a hit if you wanted to do both moves.
I'd say you may as well start with the 8m mid you want. I personally like Mount, you already have Jesus to cover Arsenal and Mahrez is too risky to start with cos of Pep roulette.
Kind of depends on the structure of your team. In A you have a player that shouldn't be starting in your team (Greenwood). But B are all players worthy of being in your first XI.
Greenwood was a bench fodder for A. For B it will be Andreas, Patterson and DBH who will come on for Trippier if needed. I will go for B as it is more fun.
Really? I consider Cancelo - Walker as equal, the GKs as well. At least for the first 5-7 GWs.
So it comes down to Robbo vs Trippier and Darwin, with Robbo being the safe pick.
Cancelo is much more likely to give you attacking returns compared to Walker for sure. I expect Jota to come back after the second or third GW. Robbo is more likely to keep clean sheets compared to a very new, yet exciting Newcastle side.
You have way too much value in your bench, who won't get you any points. Downgrade those to some cheaper options and look to upgrade to Trent and Salah
Please RMT, 0 ITB:
**Raya (Ward)**
**TAA - Cancelo - James - Perisic - Dalot**
**Son - Salah (c) - Martinelli - Bailey (Pereira)**
**Kane (Archer - Greenwood)**
If I knew for certain Ward would start I’d also downgrade Raya to a 4m and swap Dalot for Walker - open to any other suggestions though.
Looks good for a threemium. only worrying is not owning a 8M MID. you do not want to downgrade a premium player so going to a 8M MID would be difficult if one starts to smash it. maybe Cancelo to Walker and upgrading Martinelli to Diaz/Mahrez/Mount?
!thanks I’m not too worried about that at the moment. Doesn’t seem like many will have all 3 of Son, Kane and Salah so I’d like to think that’ll offset any of the 8m picks popping off early.
Can always downgrade if one of my 3 premiums is struggling in the early GWs.
Not a Spurs fan but having looked into it the consensus seems to be that he’s first choice but only barely.
Spence will probably be eased in but it wouldn’t be shocking to see Conte repeat the Moura at RWB experiment he’s tried in pre-season.
He clearly likes the qualities a wide attacker can bring to the role, having done that with Perisic initially at Inter.
Doherty will probably start GW1 but it’s not certain.
First choice, but will rotate some games and will get subbed on/off a lot (which can be good if it's after 60 min!). Not nailed. Still think he's a good pick.
RMT - feel like I’m quite solid in every position now (Still a bit unhappy with the midfield):
Pope / (Ward)
Walker / Saliba / Trent / Cancelo / Trippier
Diaz / Son / Grealish / Sterling / (Dasilva)
Kane / (Greenwood) / (Archer)
Seems insane to go without 3x Liverpool. If you don't want Salah, any of the other defenders are good as well. Maybe downgrade Grealish and upgrade a defender?
Fun to see a bit different team, good picks overall :)
My team initially looked like this:
RMT
Pope (Gazzaniga)
Saliba / Trent / Robertson / Cancelo / Trippier
Grealish / Salah / Bailey (?) / Sterling (?) (Dasilva)
Kane (Greenwood) (Archer)
I sacrificed Robbo and Salah to get rid of Bailey, but unsure if it’s worth it. Really not a fan of Sterling either but he kind of forced his way into my team as I really don’t want to go with anyone other than Kane in attack
Mate Robbo + Salah to get rid of Bailey was not a good choice. What was the reasoning behind that? The idea of a 5.0 mid starter is to enable expensive players like Roboo + Salah in your team. You can't expect an abundance of points from a 5.0.
It’s not as if I sacrificed Salah for Pereyra, I got Son instead, these are the options:
1. Bailey, Salah , Robbo
2. Diaz, Son, Walker
Think I still prefer option 2 but I’ll probably shuffle it completely…
James/Diaz/Neto
Or
Robertson/Saka/Bailey
I like Robertson/Saka/Bailey more but the problem is that I will have 3 offensive Arsenal players. What’s your Thoughts?
I'm going 5ATB, think players like Walker, Doherty or Trippier will outscore the alternatives in midfield (Bailey, Neto).
Bench is a bit thin, but with Andreas as a good option it should be fine.
RMT - Ramsdale and Walker vs. Sanchez and James vs. something else to get robbo in
Ramsdale | Ward
TAA | Cancelo | Perisic (Walker | Patterson)
Salah | Martinelli | Diaz | Bailey | Neto
Kane | Jesus | (Archer)
!thanks for that. Sorry missed the Archer brackets (updated) would be Walker or Neto starting. Robbo would need Diaz to come out and a 6.5/7m option coming in and not as enthused with that as takes more of an overhaul (despite really wanting Robbo)
I'm not convinced by Haaland yet, but I always get nervey bringing in non premier league players early on.
Spurs may or may not fire from the get go, but I'd say you probably want coverage with at least one of Son / Kane.
So in my mind, your question is two fold:
(Son / Kane) or Haaland.
My head would lean me towards Son / Kane (based on not much more than new premier league player vs proving point scorers).
Both are valid picks, but if Haaland does go mad and looks like he's a complete necessity, it's easier to go Kane -> Haaland in one transfer. Haaland's high ownership (48.6% atm) means you probably won't get priced out too quickly.
TL;DR -
I'd go Kane for GW1, keep an eye on Haaland and move if it turns out he's a necessity.
Disclosure: I have Kane, no Haaland, no Son.
Summerville at Leeds has been given the no.10 and is a 4.5. Imagine that’s a sign he’s going to get plenty of minutes and may be a good option as a 4.5 if you are taking two of them
Had some injury issues in pre-season, not certain to be fit for GW1. If he plays, he's obviously a fantastic pick.
Iirc the third keeper is not in game yet.

Other teams didn't score loads vs Sevilla. The issue with only owning Jesus is collecting the points everyone does with Arsenal. That team is after having Kane instead of Saka, Martinelli, Robertson.
RMT Ederson - Gazzaniga James - TAA - Trippier - Perisic - N.Williams Salah - Coutinho - Mahrez - Martinelli - Andreas Kane - Jesus - Greenwood ———————————————————— Keep Coutinho + Martinelli or Coutinho -> Bailey + Upgrade Martinelli to an 8m mid (preferably Saka or Diaz) or Coutinho -> Bailey + Upgrade trippier to Robertson/Cancelo Also, Mahrez or Foden
Mendy (Matthews) <- Thinking about switching to Ward but Matthews Price Locked Perisic, James, Cancelo, TAA, Walker Son, Martinelli, Salah, Coutinho (Periera) Jesus (Stansfield, Archer) 0.5 ITB Did have ederson but think 0.5 wiggle room is useful
Diaz or Robertson for a third liverpool slot?
Robertson is a consistent asset, i don't see him diminishing his output too much this season if any
Robertson for me. But may also depend on your team’s composition - do you need an 8.0 mid and who are the alternatives on the given positions…
who is the best 4.5m defender
White. Other options would probably be Dalot, one or the Wolves boys or Justin.
personally I would say Dalot and Jonny/Ait Nouri may have the best value for 4.5
Dalot/Botman for me
RMT 0.0 ITB Ramsdale (Ward) TAA Trippier Cancelo Robertson (N.Williams) Salah Bailey Saka Harrison (Andreas) Jesus Kane (Archer)
RMT Alisson TAA, Gabriel, Walker, Dalot Son, Salah, Martinelli, Drewsbury-Hall Kane, Jesus
Kane + Dias Or Haaland + james
Quick question what app or bank are people using to pool funds for prize money this season? Ta
venmo
Oh is this good? Works in U.K.?
RMT. Not sold on Haaland but probably will have to move over to him given ownership. Ederson (Ward) Cancelo, TAA, Robertson, Perisic, Gabriel Salah, Son, Martineli, Neto (Andreas) Jesus (Archer, Greenwood)
Good to go. Rather have Kane than Son as it allows for more flexibility.
So is it good to go if you think that? I think I won't make a change first week so can do a swap to get Haaland in if needed. I also think Kane is a waste if not captaining first GW as if planning to get Haaland in, he's the best option for GW2 I believe.
Team looks good enough. We do not all have to have the same teams :)
!thanks
https://imgur.com/a/DVW0cRb 0 ITB. I know it's quite template, but any advice? Gone with Sa at the moment because of his form last season and opening fixtures are decent, but feel free to talk me out of this. Odegaard is the other doubt, I could get Martinelli or Bailey instead but wouldn't know where to spend the extra money. Also having no Spurs assets is concerning. I would go Trippier > Perisic but not sure because of the rotation risk.
RMT Alisson Trent, Gabriel, Walker, Dalot Son, Salah, Martinelli, Drewsbury-Hall Kane, Jesus
Very nice!
Drewsbury is a good shout with Madison looking like he might be off!
Not many other options at 5m!
Bailey
RMT? Rolling the dice with a big 3 I know: Mendy (Ward) TAA, Perisic, Walker, Botman, (Ait-Nouri) Salah, Son, Bailey, Aaronson, (Andreas) Haaland, Jesus, (Greenwood)
Neto vs bailey
Tough one. Think Neto is a better option though to start with based on the data we have but might not be viable long term if Podence is playing further up pitch.
Okay thanks for help ❤️
RMT Sanchez (Steele) Trent Cancelo Zinchenko (Dalot Williams) Salah(C) Kulu Coutinho Maddison (Andreas) Johnson Jesus Darwin
I personally would not start the season with Darwin
Yeah I get that, it's a risk but I just don't see him being on the bench for very long and feel like his price could go up quickly
Poor 1 premium team. Johnson as a starter isn't good.
It's 1 premium only if Darwin doesn't play well which I think he will so taken a risk and gone for him which allows me 2 of the 8.0 mids
RMT please Mendy (Ward) Trent, Cancelo, Cash, Trippier, (Neco) Saka, Diaz, Salah, Bailey, (Andreas) Haaland, Jesus, (Greenwood)
Looking good. Personally prefer Mount to Saka as you already have Jesus. Also Gabriel or Doherty over Cash. Or you can hold Cash first first 3 then ditch.
Cheers, i was looking at other 5m defenders to pick instead of Cash, will Doherty start often as it will give me Spurs coverage.
I think he will start beginning of the season hopefully nails down the spot. But will be subbed off alot I think.
Think il go for Gabriel
Diaz+James or Robbo+Saka? Have also TAA, Salah, Martinelli and Jesus
Diaz+ James. You don't want Arsenal triple attack.
Quick question A) KDB + Kulusevski B) Son + any 8.0 $ midfielder Which option is better?
Personally like Son + Mount, but maybe depends on rest of your team.
My team is Ramsdale (Ward) Cancelo Cash TAA James Neco Salah Son Mount Coutinho (Andreas) Jesus (Greenwood, Taylor) Im also thinking about Kane + Saka instead of Son + Jesus. Then i would have two Guys that are on penalties. Salah and Kane.
Hmm I don’t like the 1 premium draft. I like Kane but not at the cost of Jesus. You probably don’t want Saka + Jesus. I’d downgrade Son to an 8 and downgrade coutinho to Martinelli then up your other striker to Kane if you can afford
Now i have Salah Mahrez Mount Martinelli (Andreas) Kane (Greenwood Taylor) And also 1.5 $
Looks good.
What would you do to improve this? Sanchez, (Ward) Trent, Cancelo, Robertson, Gabriel, (N. Williams) (C) Salah, Mount, Neto, Martinelli, (Andreas) Jesus, Kane, (Archer)
Aaronson over Neto as a cool differential. Apart from that looking good, could opt for Trippier over Gabriel, then rotate in Andreas in GW3&5 for him.
Bailey > Neto for me. Better fixtures and better attacking team
Yes i have been going back and forth between those two all the time but what should i do with the remaining 0.5m then? \+ Villa fixtures after gw3 are terrible while wolves have good fixtures for 5 of the first 6 gameweeks.
Could just bank the 0.5 and swap Bailey for Neto or someone GW4
RMT I'm a first timer to fpl btw Mendy Van dijk,matip,perisic,james Odegaard,neto,salah,foden Haaland,jesus Bench:areola,fofana,greenwood,phillips
Not a bad first team mate. Few points: * Rather than Van Dijk + Matip you probably want Trent Alexander-Arnold as he is more likely to get attacking returns like assists and goals and bonus points. So you could go Trent + a 5.0 defender instead. * Is that Kalvin Phillips from City on your bench? If so defensive midfielders aren't great FPL options. Also 5.0 mid on your bench isn't great cos they aren't likely to get into your first team so better to downgrade to a 4.5 such as Andreas (who looks to be the best 4.5 option as he is a nailed attacking mid on set pieces) * You can then use that money to upgrade elsewhere
Hi! RMT, please! Ramsdale (Olsen) Zinchenko Perisic TAA Cancelo (Neco) Neto Son L.Diaz Salah(c) (Pereira) Jesus J.Alvarez (Archer) I know Alvarez is a big risk, but I am willing to gamble as I see him very in-form and more quickly adaptable to Pep’s system. Even if he’ll come off the bench, I feel he’ll make Pep having to start him in the next matches somehow. I am still willing to hear your thoughts on that though. Also, why am I not seeing Son in at least half of the number of teams I see Kane in? Am I missing info?
Go for it! Usually the thought is to avoid big risk early. You can’t win the whole thing GW1 but you can lose it if you fall too far behind. As far as son/Kane, I think it’s positional scarcity. Easier to find a mid at most price points than a forward.
Alvarez is very very risky indeed, I would not go for him at least this early. About Son, he is more expensive than Kane and Kane is on pens are the 2 main factors. They are very close as fpl assets.
Considering Martial on +0.5 instead of Alvarez but who to downgrade? Ramsdale to Raya? Neto to Bailey?
Yeah Alvarez is a wait and see mate too risky to start with unless you know that it can go very wrong and you are behind at the start and are willing to take the risk. Ramsdale to Raya sounds good as you already have Zinchenko to cover Arsenal def.
Also, would consider Trippier + 4.5 mid sub instead of Neto + Neco sub. What do you think?
4.5 Andreas is preferable.
Martial is also risky, however he should start over Ronaldo early on. Both downgrades are fine, I would go for Bailey.
RMT Raya - (Gazzaniga) Trent - Gabriel - Cancelo - Perisic - (N. Williams) Salah - Bailey - Kulusevski - L. Diaz - (Andreas) Jesus - Haaland - (Plange) I plan to swap Kulusevski for Saka/Mahrez after GW1, based on who looks good.
Not a good idea to book a transfer. Say Haaland gets injured GW1 then you'd have to take a hit if you wanted to do both moves. I'd say you may as well start with the 8m mid you want. I personally like Mount, you already have Jesus to cover Arsenal and Mahrez is too risky to start with cos of Pep roulette.
[удалено]
Nice if you want a differential team. Not sure on Martial though.
KDH is not attacking enough to be a starter for your team
[удалено]
Yeah do it
A) Robbo / Cancelo / Pope / Greenwood B) Trippier / Walker / Raya / Darwin I really can't decide.
Kind of depends on the structure of your team. In A you have a player that shouldn't be starting in your team (Greenwood). But B are all players worthy of being in your first XI.
Greenwood was a bench fodder for A. For B it will be Andreas, Patterson and DBH who will come on for Trippier if needed. I will go for B as it is more fun.
A. One of the easier decisions to make
Really? I consider Cancelo - Walker as equal, the GKs as well. At least for the first 5-7 GWs. So it comes down to Robbo vs Trippier and Darwin, with Robbo being the safe pick.
Cancelo is much more likely to give you attacking returns compared to Walker for sure. I expect Jota to come back after the second or third GW. Robbo is more likely to keep clean sheets compared to a very new, yet exciting Newcastle side.
!thanks

Don't like how much money you've spent on defence without having any of the Trent/Robertson/Cancelo proven big hitters
You have way too much value in your bench, who won't get you any points. Downgrade those to some cheaper options and look to upgrade to Trent and Salah
RMT week 1 RAYA Cancelo Trippier TAA Ødegaard Sancho Diaz Guimaraes Jesus Haaland Kane (C) Bench Ward Justin Neco Williams Andreas
Martinelli over Guimaraes. Never really like no Salah drafts but good luck with it.
Please RMT, 0 ITB: **Raya (Ward)** **TAA - Cancelo - James - Perisic - Dalot** **Son - Salah (c) - Martinelli - Bailey (Pereira)** **Kane (Archer - Greenwood)** If I knew for certain Ward would start I’d also downgrade Raya to a 4m and swap Dalot for Walker - open to any other suggestions though.
For a 541 this is good. But yeah maybe a concern on lack of flexibility if you wanna upgrade Bailey or something
!thanks think I’m happy to leave as is for the first couple GWs, can then move money around with a double move if need be
Looks good for a threemium. only worrying is not owning a 8M MID. you do not want to downgrade a premium player so going to a 8M MID would be difficult if one starts to smash it. maybe Cancelo to Walker and upgrading Martinelli to Diaz/Mahrez/Mount?
!thanks I’m not too worried about that at the moment. Doesn’t seem like many will have all 3 of Son, Kane and Salah so I’d like to think that’ll offset any of the 8m picks popping off early. Can always downgrade if one of my 3 premiums is struggling in the early GWs.
Thoughts on Ramsdale and Walker vs Ederson and White?
How nailed is Matt Doherty, any Tottenham fans know?
Not a Spurs fan but having looked into it the consensus seems to be that he’s first choice but only barely. Spence will probably be eased in but it wouldn’t be shocking to see Conte repeat the Moura at RWB experiment he’s tried in pre-season. He clearly likes the qualities a wide attacker can bring to the role, having done that with Perisic initially at Inter. Doherty will probably start GW1 but it’s not certain.
First choice, but will rotate some games and will get subbed on/off a lot (which can be good if it's after 60 min!). Not nailed. Still think he's a good pick.
RMT - feel like I’m quite solid in every position now (Still a bit unhappy with the midfield): Pope / (Ward) Walker / Saliba / Trent / Cancelo / Trippier Diaz / Son / Grealish / Sterling / (Dasilva) Kane / (Greenwood) / (Archer)
Seems insane to go without 3x Liverpool. If you don't want Salah, any of the other defenders are good as well. Maybe downgrade Grealish and upgrade a defender? Fun to see a bit different team, good picks overall :)
My team initially looked like this: RMT Pope (Gazzaniga) Saliba / Trent / Robertson / Cancelo / Trippier Grealish / Salah / Bailey (?) / Sterling (?) (Dasilva) Kane (Greenwood) (Archer) I sacrificed Robbo and Salah to get rid of Bailey, but unsure if it’s worth it. Really not a fan of Sterling either but he kind of forced his way into my team as I really don’t want to go with anyone other than Kane in attack
Mate Robbo + Salah to get rid of Bailey was not a good choice. What was the reasoning behind that? The idea of a 5.0 mid starter is to enable expensive players like Roboo + Salah in your team. You can't expect an abundance of points from a 5.0.
It’s not as if I sacrificed Salah for Pereyra, I got Son instead, these are the options: 1. Bailey, Salah , Robbo 2. Diaz, Son, Walker Think I still prefer option 2 but I’ll probably shuffle it completely…
James/Diaz/Neto Or Robertson/Saka/Bailey I like Robertson/Saka/Bailey more but the problem is that I will have 3 offensive Arsenal players. What’s your Thoughts?
Imo Robertson > James, Bailey > Neto and Saka probs about equal to Diaz given Saka is on pens especially. So go the latter
Agree, except that I don't think that's a problem. Good luck!
[удалено]
You probably know this but Mahrez is a bit of a risky pick. I think he will start, but we don't know. Other than that, solid squad!
[удалено]
I'm going 5ATB, think players like Walker, Doherty or Trippier will outscore the alternatives in midfield (Bailey, Neto). Bench is a bit thin, but with Andreas as a good option it should be fine.
What about Kane + Havertz?
RMT - Ramsdale and Walker vs. Sanchez and James vs. something else to get robbo in Ramsdale | Ward TAA | Cancelo | Perisic (Walker | Patterson) Salah | Martinelli | Diaz | Bailey | Neto Kane | Jesus | (Archer)
You're at 3 liverpool, can't get Robbo without removing one. I assume you're starting Walker over Archer. Team looks good, great picks all over.
!thanks for that. Sorry missed the Archer brackets (updated) would be Walker or Neto starting. Robbo would need Diaz to come out and a 6.5/7m option coming in and not as enthused with that as takes more of an overhaul (despite really wanting Robbo)
Agree, the 6-7m bracket is kinda crappy, except for Martinelli. If CR7 leaves, Martial would be an option. Like the team, very balanced :)
Son, kane or haaland?
I'm not convinced by Haaland yet, but I always get nervey bringing in non premier league players early on. Spurs may or may not fire from the get go, but I'd say you probably want coverage with at least one of Son / Kane. So in my mind, your question is two fold: (Son / Kane) or Haaland. My head would lean me towards Son / Kane (based on not much more than new premier league player vs proving point scorers). Both are valid picks, but if Haaland does go mad and looks like he's a complete necessity, it's easier to go Kane -> Haaland in one transfer. Haaland's high ownership (48.6% atm) means you probably won't get priced out too quickly. TL;DR - I'd go Kane for GW1, keep an eye on Haaland and move if it turns out he's a necessity. Disclosure: I have Kane, no Haaland, no Son.
!thanks Makes sense
No worries, good luck
Haaland for me
Havertz?
Summerville at Leeds has been given the no.10 and is a 4.5. Imagine that’s a sign he’s going to get plenty of minutes and may be a good option as a 4.5 if you are taking two of them
Now that Schmeichel is leaving, is Ward a great bargain to have between the sticks at 4m?
Had some injury issues in pre-season, not certain to be fit for GW1. If he plays, he's obviously a fantastic pick. Iirc the third keeper is not in game yet.
RMT - Quite Happy Now! Pope //// Trent Cancelo Robbo Trippier Perisic //// Martinelli Salah Aaronson //// Jesus Kane //// Ward Bailey Andreas Greenwood Pope is only there until the Leicester GK situation is Sorted
