Players to Watch 2019/2020

ScummyMan

Bournemouth signed Jack Stacey from Luton this morning.

Watched a fair bit of him last year, he's a converted winger who loves to get forward. 4 goals and 8 assists in League One for them last year.

One to watch, I imagine he'll be in the game at £4.5m and will push for a starting spot at right back.

Literally came here to post Rico at 4m for Bournemouth! Maybe this guy hinders Rico's spot, but Daniels was woeful last season and currently has a knee injury. There was huge talk about Rico being the number 1 LB, so maybe this season it can his (unless I've totally overlooked someone else!).

Mr.Prodston

Emi Buendia - Norwich mid - 6.0

A bit steep to begin with but a little like my James Maddison prediction last summer he could come good within a few months!

Xterminator

Oleksandr Zinchenko man city.

i think he is going to nail that 1st team spot. Of course with city they could alway go out and buy someone world class, but as things stand he looks like he will get a run in the team!

mirwillbeback

Grealish at 6m to me looks a steal.

Best player in the team by far, guaranteed starter, BPs for successful dribbles and the fulcrum of the team.

I think this will be a breakout year for him.

Couldn’t disagree more, being the best player on the team
Doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll nail FPL. More likely to assist the assister IMO

Don’t understand how Rico didn’t get game time at all last season. Bournemouth were pretty much safe from Christmas time so if Howe wasn’t willing to give him gametime last season don’t see why he’ll start now. Think that fella Lloyd Kelly they signed plays left back so be surprised if Rico turns things around at Bournemouth.

Dr. Bre

Pukki from Norwich

PARlance

Not exactly going to set the Prem alight but I'll be keeping a close eye on Brighton and their strikers. Locadia (5.5m) or Andone (5.0m) could provide some points off the bench if needed.

If Murray isn't favoured by the new mamager, then both could represent some value.

razorblunt

Stuart Armstrong at Soton.

Was coming into a bit of form towards the end of last season.

Max Aarons for Norwich.

Tandey

Salah.

He did well last season.

What’s the story with Mendy ?

He’s been in my team since I did a serious draft.

Edit - just found that thread. Nothing concrete as to why Mendy is supposedly out.

If he has a full preseason and if he plays the charity shield he’s in my team. 100%.

Yarmalenko is another, falls into the "he'll be like a new signing" but he was building a head of steam up before his achilles went.

Lanzini also, albeit 0.5 more expensive.

Edit: just pooled at West Hams fixtures, City to start with and then what could be tricky away games at Brighton and Watford, I'll be waiting a few weeks and see how they go/who's playing where before biting on any WH players.

Angelino can throw a spanner in the works, he's supposed to be highly rated by Pep.

OGS has said Mason Greenwood will be part of first team squad and will get gametime
Doubt he will be starting but if Lukaku goes and there is an injury to one of front 3 then he could be in
Likely to be my 15th player now

It’s annoying as it would be nice, for us FPL’ers, to know who’s guaranteed that left back spot.

he also said he'd be clearing out the deadwood in the squad.

he says a lot of things, most of which he hasn't followed through with yet.

Rudiger out for all of pre season
Big chance for Christensen or even Zouma..........

Hadn't even thought of Zouma but I was wondering why Abraham and Batman weren't in the game. If one of them could hold down a starting place and was priced less than 7, they could be a good option.

Yeah they really ought to add those Chelsea lads now. Everyone knows they are going to be there so they should get off the fence and price them up.

Good God no... not Christy again.

sheroman01

I'll be keeping an eye on Janmaat at 4.5m, if he holds down a place. I was thinking maybe he lost his place due to his age, but he's only 29 so still have hope for him regaining this RB/RWB spot

Loves a 55th minute random injury does Christy

Serge Aurier at 5million could be a less expensive way into having a Spurs starting defender if talk of Trippier going to Madrid is true. Interesting to see who gets the right full back slot in the pre-seaon games.

There’s talk of Aurier leaving too. I saw the name of who Poch wants to replace them with but I can’t remember it now.

Supposedly interested in the two Sessegnons

Dr. Bre

Ravel Morrison to sheff Utd. He was fantasy gold for about 2 weeks in his west ham days

alchemist33

Haller (7.5), West Ham's.new record signing. Something like 20 goals in 40 in Germany, and I heard a German journo raving about him. Home to City in gw1 and Man Utd in gw6, and 4 juicy games in-between. I think he'll be my early punt.

Ridiculously expensive for a striker starting in the PL in a shít team.

Arnie was 7.0 FFS, and he's proven.

Backstreet Moyes

Mason Greenwood is going in my team great goal today and hit the crossbar

Lukaku is leaving and this kid is the most natural finisher at the club

He will get plenty of games and looks ready

Bit harsh on WH, good manager and a decent squad, should comfortably be top half. They have lots of attacking talent in midfield so could score plenty of goals. I do agree on Haller though, need to see something from him to justify that price before I'd go near him.

extra gravy

Lundstram 4m listed as a defender for Sheff Utd but has played both preseason games in midfield. Could be great OOP fodder if he keeps his place.

Good shout - could definitely get some game time.

manual_man

Keeping tabs on Barkley(£6.0m). Could be gold if he's first choice with Lampard's attacking style of play and their kind opening fixtures. Keep hearing about this Mason Mount fella though(not added yet to the game). Lampard seems very fond of him. Any Chelsea fans care to give some input?

manual_man

Nketiah(£4.5m fwd) bagged a brace for Arsenal tonight against Fiorentina. Played 80 mins. He played 78 mins 4 days previously, getting an assist, as well as another goal in a cameo sub appearance in the game in between. Emery obviously likes him. Definitely one to watch. He has an excellent record in the England youth setup too - 21 goals in 25 games from U18's through to U21's.

Joelinton just added for Newcastle United at £6million which is an interesting price. He is reported to be getting the number 9 shirt which in Newcastle tradition means he will be expected to get most of their goals. He is a bit of a gamble with a tough enough run of opening games but think I'll go with him from the start if he gets some time in the team in pre-season.

Could possibly be tempting at 5.5 or lower.

I think 6m Benteke has gone under the radar a bit, especially if Zaha leaves and they don't sign another striker.

They start against Arsenal. Don't think a big powerful striker could have wished for a better defense to start with.

Any chance he'd be on penalties... could be well worth a punt at that price if he was in the mix for penalties.

It would be hard to take them off richie.

The real mccoy 91

Keep an eye on Ben Johnson for West ham at 4m. Played away to city last year but pellegrini has decided he doesn't want another left back and has got minutes in both pre season games so far Fulham this weekend and bilbao the week after could tell alot about what he is thinking

He will be ok until he fails a drug test after the first game and you would be just wasting a transfer.

Chancer3001

im intrigued by leicester this year. That midfield seems so dynamic. Tellyman, Kante-Lite, Maddison and barnes.

I might try get 2 of them in

manual_man

Henderson to Sheff Utd on loan. I think he'll be my gk assuming he'll start gw1 *edit* and assuming he'll be 4.5m
