Looks to be a good team to me but I think I will go for a stronger bench this season myself. Even ignoring games being postponed at short notice in the season just gone I think there are more teams willing to rotate players so thinking it will be worth having replacements to come in. Still making changes but currently on:

Sanches, Bachmann

Digne, Alexander Arnold, Lamptey, Tierney, Coufal

Saka, Salah, Fernandes, Harrison, Murphy

Wilson, Watkins, Toney

GetWithIt · 22-07-2021 7:09pm

Definitely a first draft just to see what's possible. Dodging as many players as possible from late in the Euros. Doherty is very tenuous but with 2M in the bank there's a lot of flexibility.

Omobamidele is a definite. 4.0 and Irish.

Yeah that’s a good plan to have as things are still not settled in relation to the pandemic. And yeah many managers are now chopping and changing constantly it’s wise to have a strong bench.

duefrine · 22-07-2021 9:11pm

My first draft...

castletownman · 23-07-2021 4:38pm

Sanchez-Sa

Tierney-Shaw-Rudiger-Fofana-Godfrey

Salah-Raphinha-Greenwood-Dallas-Gilmour

Kane-Toney-Iheanacho

I like the look of mine so far. Went for Gilmour as the 4.5 option likely to play every week, and expecting Kane to go to City and Greenwood to play in Rashford's absence early on.

Think my defence may be TOO stacked, and thus cause selection nightmares down the line.

Obviously not set in stone yet.

Tierney to Rice for a .5 saving . If Kane goes to MC is there a rotation risk and Toney is a good gamble but still a gamble .

bodking · 23-07-2021 7:45pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117653773#Comment_117653773

And Dallas has no CS potential which was 66 points .

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117653773#Comment_117653773

Tierney not good for attacking outputs though more than Rice?

I do want to upgrade midfield somewhere though

bodking · 23-07-2021 8:03pm

When do you expect to Wild card ?

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117649095#Comment_117649095

Not a big fan, the while fwd seems very risky, I will have Toney myself tho

Raphina will play most games over Soucek I presume,

Not a Fernandez fan myself, and Saka is a great pick but think might take a few weeks to hit the ground running

SlickRic · 24-07-2021 1:20pm

Sanchez

TAA Digne Shaw

Salah Bruno Buendia Raphinha Pepe

Toney Iheanacho

Subs: Darlow Ait Nouri Ayling Perica

Only a first draft, but the spine is there I think.

Backstreet Moyes · 24-07-2021 5:29pm

Sanchez/ Bachman

Digne/James/Shaw/Tierney/Castagne

Salah/Mount/Greenwood/Raphinha/Beundia

Calvert Lewin/Watkins/Bamford

Thanks for the thoughts

Joelinton will definitely be gone before the season starts, Pukki is staying, just in case he goes on a run like a couple of seasons ago....

Toney is the must have striker ( 34% owned ) and is scoring goals...

Most of the rest will stay baring one or two...

skippy15 · 24-07-2021 10:56pm

Still a long way to go with pre season and signings and seeing when some players will be back

Anyways

Sanchez

Van Djik Trent Digne Shaw

Salah Havertz Grealish or bueneda

Watkins Toney DCL

Foster Raphina Fofana Gilmour

Trent Digne Salah Toney think all rest are up for debate

joeyboy11 · 25-07-2021 12:57am

Sanchez (Foster)

TAA, Chilwell, Digne, Lamptey, (Omobamidele)

Salah, Bruno, Raphinha, Smith-Rowe, (Gilmour)

Ings, Bamford, Toney

First sub most weeks will probably be between Raph, Lamptey and Smith-Rowe

Im really tempted by Doherty at with Nuno at spurs! I like the list of strikers in the 7-8 mill mark and went with Ings and Bamford (is he on pens?). If not I could change him to Wilson at Newcastle.

caviardreams · 25-07-2021 7:05pm

Everyone seems to be on TAA over Robertson? I fancied Robertson with a bit more of a break over the summer under his belt and might start faster?

Doherty could be a steal under Nuno if Spurs start firing.

Dubliner28 · 26-07-2021 2:28pm

Happy enough with this atm

Taughts please

Martinez

VVD Digne Shaw

Salah Grealish Mount Raphina

DCL Toney Watinks

Subs McCarthy Vestagaard Aarons Gilmour

Still 2mill Itb

extra gravy · 26-07-2021 6:34pm

Henderson

Digne TAA Dunk

Salah Mané Buendia Raphinha

Antonio Watkins Wilson

Foster Brownhill Ayling Manquilo

Mané over Bruno at the moment but that might change..

skippy15 · 26-07-2021 9:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117664969#Comment_117664969

Mane hasn't had break like this in few years, looks in good shape so interesting shout,

Don't fancy Fernandez if Pogba is still about either, two more weeks of pre season be interesting

extra gravy · 26-07-2021 9:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117665764#Comment_117665764

Yeah fancy Mané to get back to his best this season, he seems mentally and physically refreshed. Two great opening fixtures for him too.

sheroman01 · 26-07-2021 10:38pm

Sanchez 4m

Digne Robertson Shaw Coady/Lampety 4m

Salah Son KDB Raphina 4.5m

Watkins Wilson 4.5m

Fairly happy with that. Shaw could move to a 5m, to allow TAA in for Robbo. Any team with good fixtures that I'm overlooking? I'm hesitant on Bruno, given his bad end to the season and poor showing at the Euros.

dasa29 · 26-07-2021 11:27pm

Martinez -Sanchez

Konsa - Lowton - Dias - Bednarek - Coufal

Dallas - Raphinha - Gundogan - Fernandes - Townsend

Watkins - Bamford - Vardy

This is my team at the moment and with 2M in the bank there's a lot of flexibility to change a player or two if needed.

extra gravy · 26-07-2021 11:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117666205#Comment_117666205

Why Burnley and Southampton defenders? Their opening fixtures are poor. No Salah will hurt if he hauls in the first few games.

dasa29 · 27-07-2021 9:44am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117666259#Comment_117666259

While I can see where you are coming from with this and with the 2m in the bank I could swap out

Fernandes and Lowton for Salah and Dunk for 1m out of the 2m, I have in the bank but what happens if Fernandes hauls in the first games and Salah is

Quiet for their first games.

With the Burnley and Southampton Players, They are players that will play and if they are on my bench so be it be, plus both of them are 4.5m each and the break down of the team is this

Goalkeepers 10m, Defenders, 25m, Midfielders, 37m and Forwards 26m, + 2m in bank = 100m

bmorrissey · 27-07-2021 9:55am

Sanchez - Raya

Digne - Lowton - Robertson - Fofana - Lamptey

Sancho - Salah - Maddison - Grealish - Alli

Richarlison - Toney - Antonio

Took a chance on Alli as think he will get more of a chance with jose gone, also may end up bringing in Doherty or Regullion yet after GW1

castletownman · 27-07-2021 7:45pm

Have decided to dispense with Dallas, and have 7.5m to play around with as a result. Need advice on the following players, who I have singled out with very little research:

Jota- 7.5m (already have Salah)

Maddison or Barnes- 7m

Alli- 7m

Saka or Buendia- 6.5m

Left-field choice....Bryan Gil 6m

I am edging towards Buendia at the minute.

AvaSatiVaLomu · 27-07-2021 8:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117670466#Comment_117670466

From that selection I'd go Barnes, he can be pretty explosive. Presumably he'll come back from injury strong. Shaving 0.5 from somewhere and getting Grealish (8.0) would be ideal, if you've not already.

Backstreet Moyes · 28-07-2021 12:06pm

Sanchez/Bachman

Digne/James/Shaw/TAA/Castagne

Salah/Barnes/Greenwood/Raphinha/Buendia

Bamford/Silva/Watkins

Plan is to play 5 at the back every game who are all attacking full backs.

Double of Villa and Leeds in midfield and attack might not be the best option so I might change one of those for each team.

SeamusAFA · 28-07-2021 3:38pm

Draft 15,3412

Sanchez/Foster

White/Robertson/TAA/Manquillo/Coady

Fitz* · 28-07-2021 4:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117673253#Comment_117673253

I'd also be in the camp of attacking full backs but not sure how attacking Digne will be under Rafa? Admittedly I have not heard much of their pre-season games and set up so far.

castletownman · 29-07-2021 11:40am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117670538#Comment_117670538

Shaved .5 by bringing in Rose in for Tierney as my fifth defender and so in comes Grealish for Dallas.

Liking the look of my team now I must say, even with potential transfers for Grealish and Kane:

Sanchez/Sa

R.James/Godfrey/Fofana/Shaw/Rose

Salah/Grealish/Raphinha/Greenwood/Gilmour

Kane/Iheanacho/Toney

F1ngers · 01-08-2021 5:01am

Rotating keepers.

Stones, AWB + best fixture from:(White, Ayling, Coady)

Salah, Fernandes, Son, Bowen(Gilmour)

Watkins, Toney, Wood.

Obviously missing some form of City attack, but can't have them all.

Thoughts?

remoteboy · 01-08-2021 7:40am

I like your approach to defence and you have a good powerful midfield there. The only concern I’d have is Wood. He’s at the Olympics so probably won’t start GW 1.

Arealred · 01-08-2021 10:37am

My first draft

Screenshot_20210801-113426_Chrome.jpg

Any suggestions to improve it would be welcomed. Grealish going to City potentially.

extra gravy · 01-08-2021 11:38am

I've ditched my second 12m mid and used the extra money to get Mahrez and Son in...

Sanchez

Shaw Digne TAA

Salah Son Mahrez Raph Sarr

Antonio Watkins

Also means a 4.5m striker which I wouldn't be too mad about but I do like that midfield.

joeyboy11 · 01-08-2021 3:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117690563#Comment_117690563

looks good, I assume you’ve 2 4.5 mill defenders as subs?

joeyboy11 · 01-08-2021 3:12pm

Sanchez

TAA, Digne, Stones

Salah (c), Bruno, Raphinha, Buendia,

Cavani, Watkins, Toney

Steel, White, Brownhill, Kelly

I like the pick of mid priced striker so I’ll go 3-4-3 unless Kane signs for city. Then probably 3-5-2

Damien360 · 01-08-2021 3:58pm

Happy with backs and midfielders I think. Not sure about the front three at all. Watkins might be in trouble without Grealish and Grealish goes to city as expected, he will be in rotation. Not a cent left in the bank.

KurtBarlow · 01-08-2021 9:07pm

I'm going without the big names to start the season. Taking the gamble that I end up with a few that everybody wants and leave me in a strong position after a couple of weeks.

I'll then bring in the likes of Salah, KDB et al to replace the non-performers. I've 10m in the bank with this team.

Intention is to spend that money to improve midfield and attack.

I'm hoping my defense and gk's are all set for the season.

Id like thoughts on who I should replace but only with other cheaper players who are with the gamble.

Dr. Bre · 02-08-2021 3:25pm

Not sure about starting the season with ten mill in the bank

CSF · 02-08-2021 3:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117695425#Comment_117695425

Whatever about leaving enough money in the bank to bring in 1 big money performer of your choice early on, I feel like you're pushing it with the 2 and 10 million. I can't see that being a worthwhile approach.
