Yes I tried one with Auba instead of Kane and happy enough with the team.

Heres a shot


4.5m playing keeper

VVD, Azpilicueta, Dunk, Lascelles (or some other 4.5m def)

Salah Sterling Moura Jorghinho

Kane Vardy


4m non playing keeper
4m defender (Kelly of palace looks best option)
Dedonker
Greenwood

My team has them...along with TAA Robertson and Digne! It's a risk but I'm going with it. There's always early WC...

Take out Salah and put in Auba instead and it gives you a good captain option every week:

Ryan(or other 4.5)
TAA Robertson Coleman Zinchenko
Tielemans Perez Sterling
Kane Auba Jota

Not bad

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

2 x 4.5 keepers
TAA Zinchenko Zouma Diop Kelly (CP)
Sterling Mané Moura Yarmo Guendouzi
Kane Wilson 4.5 striker

Moura is a three week punt, can change to Pulisic/Martial depending on form. Alternatively I could go with Lucas Perez from the start and spend the extra 1.0 elsewhere.

Downgrading Wilson would also allow for upgrades elsewhere. Wilson to Abraham allows Yarmo to become Perez and Moura become Siggy.

Swap out Mane. He'll only just be back from the AFCON.

He's on holiday now but back with the squad this weekend I believe. He probably won't start GW1 but should be there for GW2. Salah requires too much downgrading elsewhere and trying to get Mané in later will be a nightmare, best just to start with him.

ThunbergsAreGo

Dunks transfer (if it comes) is probably too late in the window for GW1 start

Martial goal

That Greenwood fella isn't giving much negatives is he? Others have pointed out his chances for price drops. I'd rather leave him and just swap my worst striker for him if he actually became something of a big deal early on. Even if it's temporary.

Zaha now linked with Everton !
That would present a problem for me .......although he does like to win penalties

Why do you think that? I'm thinking the opposite

Son is banned for the first two games.

Chancer3001

yeah i saw that. i think hes cheap at 9.5 tho. ndombele will surely start every game at 6.0 too...

Wasting 9.5m on a player who won't play the first two games is unforgivable in FPL. I'd invest elsewhere. Can always look to bring him in GW3 or later.

Instead of the Siggy+Greenwood combo (12.5), I'm wondering if A.perez+calvert-lewin (12.5) would not be more profitable...

Is calvert-lewin nailed?

At the moment he's a great chance of starting. They're supposed to be in the market for a new striker though so keep an eye.

And let’s face it he ain’t very good in fantasy terms
He is a good player for the team leading the line etc but he isn’t going to get many goals
Better options in Everton attack

NoviGlitzko

Wouldn't personally go for DCL. Not nailed and Richarlison can start up top too. Plus the other points above.

Arsenal appear to have reached an agreement for Nicolas Pepe (right sided forward) for 80m. Id expect that to mean Zaha wont be going that way now.

Dr. Bre

I’m only thinking of getting zaha for 7 mil if yous goes to a top 6 club. I think palace will struggle

dsmythy

Is Deulofeu a spent force? Fancied adding him to the team but see he's a 6.5 forward now. Kind of lost interest but should I?

I like him and probably got him too many times last year but just dont see him as an option right now. Having said that not the worst punt for 3/4 weeks if you are expecting to use a wildcard relatively early.

Pete_Cavan

If Arsenal land Pepe they will have a seriously tasty attack. Will be difficult to overlook an attacking player from them as they will rack up the goals (that applies to both the for and against columns).

Didn't they tell Palace they couldn't afford more than 40m for Zaha

They are paying for pepe installments over 5 years.

Palace wanted a lump sum up front for Zaha.
