2018/19 FPL Rate My Team Thread

castletownman

Patricio/Fabianski

Win-Bissaka/Bednarek/Coleman/Emerson/Shaw

Jota/Mata/Sane/Felipe Anderson/Mahrez

Aubameyang/Lukaku/Niasse

1m left in the war-chest.

Obviously early doors, but any thoughts?. Heard Emerson could be in with a shout to start left for Chelsea, while Shaw seems set to start the season at LB according to Jose's comments anyway. I think Bednarek and Win-Bassaka will be cheap rotation options and are close to regular starters, while Coleman is nailed on.

Jota I suppose is the unknown quantity but lit up the championship for Wolves last year. Mata at 6.5 seems reasonable as he looks to be a starter early on (from what I read on here anyway). No World Cup for Mahrez and Sane suggests they will be in from the start, while Anderson's stats for Lazio look decent, although he'll be firmly a benchwarmer for GW1.

PAA and Lukaku take up 22% of the total budget between them, but Kane at 13.5 is too much considering he looked knackered at the WC and is notoriously slow to get going. Niasse is a "fill spot 15" inclusion based on a hunch that he might lead the line for Everton.

I think it's balanced enough overall, although lacks another "wow factor" player, in a position I cannot quite put my finger on.

No Liverpool attack? I'd definitely look to rectify that anyway. Even if it's Mane instead of the pricey Salah.

Bednarek looks a little dodgy given that Southampton are strongly linked to bringing in a centre half (unless that deal fell through (I haven't kept tabs on it)) Bennett of Wolves, Peltier of Cardiff, and Wan Bissaka are apparently the best of the 4m options. Granted you probably won't go with Bennett though because of Patricio.

Lukaku could be dodgy to start the opening few week or two as well. As for Niasse, I've personally decided to stay away from the whole Niasse/Tosun choice as I have no idea who's likely to start between them.

Few cheap (relatively speaking) big team punts in there like Emerson, Shaw, and Mahrez. They could work, but they could equally go the opposite way.

Not sure where Gabbiadini will figure but if they do buy Ings then it’ll be a case of alternating between Ings and Austin depending on which one is injured.

A new draft I'm quite excited about..
DDG (Button)
Bailly Coleman Robertson (Wan-Biss, Peltier)
Martial Salah Jota Siggy Gerry
Firmino Aguero (Quaner)
Went for Martial over Dilva as I want to see what city start like, hoping Martial starts up front. Will WC first international break I think.
Edit - Thoughts on going with - Salah Sane Siggy Kenedy Cairney in midfield instead?

Liverpool x 3 and Man Utd x 3 with only one player from City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs combined seems like a very risky approach and putting a lot of eggs in the two baskets!

Looks good on paper- but why risk Shaw. Go for someone nailed as your sibs may not play either-
With Kane and De bruyne, why not get say Aguero and Sane and bank the cash if you wanted to change in first few weeks. But should easily outscore them. Not fan of jorginho either like the rest

I've always followed the mantra of "never chase last weeks points" and for me, you can extend this to Milovojevic this season. Just a gut feeling.

Son is a waste for the first few weeks, his game time will be limited.

A re-jig, thoughts very welcome.
First and foremost I see myself using wc by gameweek 6 at the latest but more likely after gamweek 4.

Keepers,

Alisson: I think he is a great keeper and I expect Liverpool to now keep a lot of clean sheets. He'll be staying for the season I'd expect.
Pickford: Rotates perfectly with Alisson and even though they are costing me 10.5m I feel there is value in this pairing.

Defenders:

Azpi: Just solid and worth every penny imo.
Janmaat: Two good fixtures in the first four weeks opposite the cheapy I'm hoping gets games.
Wan-Bissaka: The cheapy I'm hoping gets games with two friendly home games.
Daniels: A frustrating player but goes well at home and a couple of nice fixtures.
Perreira: The second gameweek was looking a bit tricky and they are home to Wolves. I feel this lad is going to do very well at Leicester so suits me to have him from the start.

Midfielders:

Salah: Must have
Sigurdsson: Nice opening fixtures, hoping he will find his form now.
Sessegnon: Classy kid, willing to take the chance on him from the start.
Wilshere: Two nice home games in first four weeks. Great coach at the club, expect to see him in a David Silva type role.
Neves: Really impressed by him in the Championship last year, bonus point whore is what I'm hoping for here.

Forwards:
Aubameyang: Class act and I expect him to be the top forward this season.
Tosun: Taking a bit of a chance that he'll start but nice fixtures if he does.
Firminho: Liverpool's early fixtures mean I must have two of them.

You've already mentioned why you're doing it and you feel there is value but surely you could downgrade 1 to a 4.0/4.5

10.5 is so much money on two goalies and in fairness, both Liverpool & Everton have good opening fixtures so you're giving yourself an unnecessary headache of who to play? Even GW2 is a toss up between vs South or vs Palace and potentially leaving points on the bench where could be better spent elsewhere? Just my two cents!

I was also very keen on Wilshere at that price but the latest quotes from the player himself and from the local press is that he will be played more as a holding midfielder at West Ham.

I would just struggle to justify no City attack, unless the plan is to bring them in after the first week when the likes of KDB, Walker and Sterling are back.

I really want Aubameyang, but having him, Salah and Aguero seems impossible if you want balance, and I really can't shake the Aguero itch.

This is my best shot at it.

Jagielka/Williams/Holgate (all 4.5 and one will start if there are no signings)
Wan Bissaka
R Bennett
Salah
Mané
D Silva
Demarai Gray
Will Hughes / Tom Cairney
Aubameyang
Aguero
Quaner

it's not the worst. I'm assuming that Bennett, Wan Bissaka and Hughes will start.

Bit of a redux....swapped in Mane for Mahrez and Pereira for Emerson. Guaranteed starters both. Swaying towards subbing in Firmino for Lukuaku, wil make the call closer to GW1

I really like this one

MattD

I have a similar one now, trying to fit Salah, Aguero and Auba:

Ederson/Button

Coleman/Bailly/PVA/Daniels/Bennett

Salah/ Mhki/ Pedro/ Redmond/Richarlison*

Aguero/Auba/Kamara

Have Richarlison in for now assuming he transfers to Everton, but I also have 0.5m ITB, not sure what I want to do... I've been scared off Sanchez and back to Salah!

uRbaN

My first draft, and a week later I'm still struggling to tear it up.

Ederson / Fabianski

Daniels* / Azipilicueta / Coleman / Alexander-Arnold / Cedric*

Salah / Mihitaryan / Sane / Neves / Lingard*

Zaha / Firminho / Barnes*


Playing 3 5 2 with * all benched GW1

I want MC cover in defence so felt Ederson is worth it, with a good backup in Fabianski who I had at the end of last season and really got value out of.

I like Coleman...he's had a good break and is excellent value. Worth the punt. I also wanted some solidity hence Azpi for the splurge with Daniels & Cedric good backup options. I want some Liverpool cover so happy to go with AA.

I don't want Salah, but somebody made the excellent point already on this thread that its easier to get rid of him than to try and get him in if he's pulling up trees. I could change Salah and Lingard to Sanchez and Mane for an exact swap. I'd prefer this but its risky. Sanchez is great value for 2016 Sanchez. Not so much for 2017 Sanchez.
Lingard may have a WC hangover.

I'm not wild on my strikers. I've always had at lease Kane or Kun. Firminho is a lock for now as my main striker. Barnes was a very handy bench option 2nd half of last Season so I'm happy to stick with him.

I've no Spurs at all....I'd like Erikssen, and had great value out of Bavies last year.

Open to suggestions/criticisms

Mr.Prodston

Don't get Will Hughes. I learned the hard way so that nobody else has to!

MrVoracious

So I've always been pretty poor at fantasy football but this year I've decided to go all out and give it my best shot. Does anyone have any comments on how this team could be improved?.. or is it the image of perfection itself?.. I'm assuming the attachment uploads 😅

Brighton have a very tough start Utd, Liverpool games 2 and 3, Kane, Eriksen and Maguire may not start either due to the World Cup, Alonso could also be out of favour with the new Chelsea manager.

patmac

Right I did a bit of work based on bookies odds and opening fixtures and in this order I have Everton, Watford, Cardiff,Chelsea, Liverpool and Utd as having the easiest fixtures, also after last season’s debacle I swore to have players who are fun to own, so on this basis:
Ederson: most consistent way into City defence.
Steklenburg: 4m fodder who might play the first game.
Shaw: seems to be favoured and cheap way into the Utd defence.
Coleman: fixtures and fun
PVA: fixtures and fun
Cedric: good form at the end of last year and always enjoyed owning,
There’s only Wan Bissaka: 4m fodder.
Deulofeu: fixtures and fun.
Salah: I suppose, cos everyone else will have him.
Sane: could be good early.
Siggy: good fixtures.
Aguero: FPL legend.
Firmino: good fixtures
Have Puncheon and Vokes but will look for some Cardiff fodder, also looking at getting maybe some Chelsea and or Bavies

Very similar to my team and my thinking and my fun players
It is the first team with salah in it that I like too. Im going to bow to the ownership and captaincy pressure I think . No point being silly.
To make up for that I'm going to go and get myself Mata

The band is back together again LOL
Double Palace defence though.....I'll prob go with Bennett if I have PVA

km79

its beginning to take shape especially at the back

Keepers : Fabianksi and another playing 4.5 ml keeper. Foster probably makes the most sense but I just can't........maybe Begovic

Defence : Coleman Shaw Mendy Cedric Wan Bissaka - I have decided to spend more on defence than usual. Lots of options and defenders around 5.5/6ml will probably outscore attacking players at same price!!! PVA and Bennett keep jumping in and out of my team. I was struggling to decide on City mid so stuck Mendy in for PVA just now. May well change back. I would also prefer Bailly over Shaw. Coleman, Cedric and Wan/Bennett will stay

Midfield : Salah, Siggy, Mata, Gudmonsson, Gerry D - I have decided not to be an idiot and just get Salah. When I got rid of Alexis I had no captain. And I think the rest of my midfield makes up for playing safe n that one LOL. Mata will see a lot of gametime first 3 weeks and is probably on pens. Siggy- no explanation needed The other 2 I have just thrown in for now . Have not looked at rotations etc. But they have decent fixtures I think.

Forwards : Have hardly changed these Kun, Firmino and Arnie. Had Chris Wood in. Logged back on and he was yellow flagged. Again. So brought in Gudmonson in mid instead and back to Arnie.

Wouldn't mind getting Miki or Auba in but think I'll take a wait and see approach with Arsenal and Chelsea. Early WC and BB for me

Anybody with some tippage on this team?

I'd love to fit Alonso in somehow; He's been my favourite FF player the last 2 years.

Happy with the look of the team bar him currently.

Hazard expected to miss start of season? No Aguero/Kane gonna hurt me?

SlickRic

Forget Alonso. Sarri won't play a wingback system so he's not attractive anymore. Rumours that Emerson might be the new LB, so we should keep an eye.

I like Gray. he's in my current draft and could well stay under the radar.

Not a fan of Wilson, but they do have a good start.

I just couldn't be without Salah. I see why you'd go without, but it's so risky. His effective ownership is likely to be over 100%. you'll win out if he blanks, but if he does his thing, you're immediately behind, and finding it difficult to get him back in for a great run of fixtures.

we'll know about Hazard soon.

i like the Arsenal picks. I think a lot of people will look past them because they've City in GW1, but if they do well, people will be clamouring for them for their next few fixtures.

- Hazard is too much of a risk for me to start with. When he's keen he's brilliant, when he's not he's a huge chunk of budget for nothing. I'd strongly consider getting rid of him, at least until you see which Hazard is turning up.

- Upgrade Masuaku then, for another .5 you can get the likes of Kenedy.

- I'd forget about Alonso. He's likely to be a complete dud if Chelsea don't play wingbacks.

- With the Hazard switch you could also upgrade Wilson, if you still don't want to try and fit in Salah.

- Think I also read on here that Holebas is unlikely to start? Upgrading Masuaka, Wilson and him would mean you have a full squad of pretty solid/very solid players (minus a sub keeper you won't need).

So yeah, dump Hazard is my advice really!

extra gravy

A switch to 3-5-2

Foster
Coleman Robertson Shaw
Salah Siggy Mahrez Pedro Mkhi
Auba Arnie

Fab Cedric WanB Quaner

Third strker spot was giving me a headache, think I'd rather punt on Pedro instead. Double Arsenal as I think they'll surprise everyone in the opening two fixtures and I'll be well set up for my nice run. Defence is probably fairly template at this stage. Arnie has tough fixtures but I think he can score against anyone.

Early Days But Looking at this playing 3-4-3

Ederson - Access to City Defense who will play
Fab- Value Back Up

Robertson - Hoping he keeps up like he finished last season
Baily - Cheapest way to Jose defense
Tompkins - Priced too cheaply I think
Daniels - Best of that price range
Malone - Fodder as a result of having Salah

Salah - Salah
Pogba - Punty but worth it if he plays more advanced now
Milivojvic - Bargain if on pens again. One of the first names in team
Doucoure - May well change but not sure yet
Stephens(Bri) - Fodder as a result of having Salah

Firmio - Great Value for an under rated player
Aguero - Need City Attacker
Arnotvuic - Happy if he grabs 10- 12 goals

SkySter

Ederson - Most reliable way into City defense. Set and forget.
Speroni - Non playing 4k GK.

Ward - Burnley solid defense and have good opening fixtures.
Robertson - Pool defensive cover a must.
Coleman - Always delivers. Good opening fixtures.
Wan-Bissaka - Flavour of the month in 4k bracket.
Daniels - Not sure. Might swap with Cedric.

Miki - Arsenal to start strong. Assist machine to Auba.
Salah - pure FOMO
Sane - Rested and out to prove a point I think.
Jota - Bit of a punt/fun pick.
Stephens - Bench fodder.

Firmino - Great value and very consistent.
Auba - My pick for golden boot. Scores for fun.
Kamara - Bench fodder.

bantee

Jags and Williams are both 4.5, who is in Evertons favoured backline? I know Keane and Coleman are nailed on

wrestlemaniac

Begovic---Fabianski

Coleman---Bailly---Robertson---Cedric---Wan

Salah---Sane---Richarlison---Jota---Ralls

Aguero---Zaha---Arnie


Planning on BB in GW1


Begovic- Nice fixtures

Fabianski- Great value

Coleman- Nice run of fixtures and attacking

Bailly- Banking on more dour Mourinho defensiveness

Robertson- Attacking

Cedric- Attacking

Wan- Fodder who should play

Salah- Can't believe I'm not excited about having him in a team but he is in to cover others having him

Sane- Rested after WC and should be raring to go.

Richarlison- Silva knows his ability from Watford. Unlucky not to score more last year. Nice fixtures for Everton and cheaper than Siggy.

Jota- Often plays up top for Wolves and with Neves and now Moutinho sitting in behind, will have plenty of license to attack.

Ralls- On pens, could be this years Mili. Worth a punt at 5mil. Warnock's teams always strong on set pieces.

Aguero- Not fully swayed with him and may switch to Auba yet.

Zaha- Always enjoy owning him and still value even as a FW

Arnie- Best other FW at this price


Only real question for me is if I switch Mane and Firmino in for Salah and Arnie.

Trying to spread the money around for 15 starters as well.

Doucoure - May well change but not sure yet
Stephens(Bri) - Fodder as a result of having Salah

Firmio - Great Value for an under rated player
Aguero - Need City Attacker
Arnotvuic - Happy if he grabs 10- 12 goals

Pogba isn't likely to start the season, so I'd get him out for a few weeks at least. You could keep United cover there by switching to Martial or Mata, who seem nailed for the opening couple of GWs. Personally I'd also have a 4.0 bench fodder goalkeeper if I was going with Ederson and just play him every week. Keep an eye on Daniels for the rest of pre-season too, as Bournemouth have just signed a new left back.

Current lineup is as follows:

Ederson
Bailly-Coleman-Robertson-Bednarek
Neves-Richarlison-Salah
Aguero-Firmino-Lukaku(C)

Bench: Speroni,Suttner,Masuaku,Surman

Any suggestions here folks? Lukaku obviously the main one to switch around potentially? Thoughts on Aguero?

A lot of potential non playing players
Lukaku won’t play Gw1
Midfield weak
Downgrade lukaku uppgrade midfield

Unless you are planning a very early wildcard I think you need Arsenal cover, Lukaku wont start the season I wouldn't think, downgrade him to Arnie/Touson/Zaha and upgrade a midfielder to Miki/Ramsey.

Thanks folks.

I've brought in Sane/Aubam/Austin(likely to change) for Aguero/Lukaku/Masuaku
