2018/19 FPL Rate My Team Thread

Scorpion Sting

On this at the moment:

Begovic
Kiko Douglas Bednarek
Salah Sané Mkhi Walcott
Firmino Zaha Aguero

Fabianski - Mee Tomkins Masuaku

Fabianski is great value at 4.5 million, set and forget at that price. Defence is a bit weak so changes will happen here for sure. Hoping Bednarek can nail down a starting spot. There is a real dearth of options up front this season so can't see too many other options other than the likes of Aubameyang, Kane, Arnie and Vardy. Midfield is going to be Salah, Sané and 3 others. Walcott is there for now for his explosiveness.

If people are posting their teams could they offer some reasons why they chose some of the players and also offer advice to others, cheers.

Is Forster injured?

Nope, just ****e.

Southampton have spent decent money on Gunn anyway so while McCarthy looked nailed on at the time of writing - not so much now.

Am I missing something here? Is Wan Bissaka a known starter? I see him in a lot of teams in a first XI.

Yeah. I believe he’s started 4 of their preseason games.

But I’m the same guy that told you Quaner was a starter. Although I did read he’d started 2-3 of their games.

Wan Bissaka will be in everyone’s team within 2-3 weeks as the 4.0m playing defender. So he could see a few price rises quite early.

I can understand him being in the team as a potential starter based on pre season. But I don't think I can put him in my XI.
Playing LB means he's behind Schlupp and Ward? Pretty sure Kelly is the RB.

I also have Bednarak in my team so two 4.0m defenders seems risky for me

Wan-Bissaka looks to be currently ahead of Kelly for the RB slot.

PVA is the nailed on LB and I think Schlupp has been getting games pre-season OOP on the left of midfield.

Bednarak could be at risk as they’ve just spent about £18 on a new CB iirc.

Edit - I think we could find at least 2 regular playing 4.0m defenders within the first 2-3 weeks. My plan is to have 3 and rotate in the best fixture each week.

I've 3 drafts on the go, setting up for GW 1-13, 1-5 and 1-8. Not sure yet what option to go.

Current 1-5 set up is

Foster
Mendy Robertson Luiz
Mata Pedro Sane Salah
Long Aubayang Tosun

Subs Speroni Cairney Wan Bissaka Benarek

1m in the bank.

Is that Shane Long? Use the 1M ITB to get him as far out of there as possible imo.

My latest draft has no City. Am I mad? Then plan a - 4 for GW2 and being in 2 city V hudders

Rotation is the enemy of FPL planning. I would never take a -4 to get City players in. In fact I don't even have any City players at all. Which is probably a fatal mistake.

I took Sanchez back out again last night and brought Mahrez in
Already looking at reversing it LOL

Also united played 352 again with Shaw left wing back
Also took him out

I’m on
Bennet
Wan-Bis
Peltier (tho I see he’s now yellow flagged)
Lowe
Mee

With 2 x 4.5 keepers also

hufpc8w3adnk65

I have Fabianski who’s the best keeper 4.5 or under to pair him with do people think?

I have him in now as well
As long as he stays up front I'll probably stick with him
It's him , wood or Austin or just go back to quaner

Sanchez is back in and staying . He has been razor sharp in preseason despite all uniteds toils
I'll go with my gut on this one
And he is a very very easy downgrade to any city midfielder then

I have a nice spread of prices in midfield now as well to allow more flexibility
Salah Sanchez siggy gudmonnson cairney
Gudmonnson and cairney could become deulofeu and 4.5

My team structure is almost done now it's just a case of choosing the 5.5 ml defender out of the likes of Pva ,Coleman , Luiz, Bailly and the 5ml defender (might even just get a second 4.5) out of Shaw, Burnley , perhaps TAA but Clyne a worry, Sahko also of interest if I don't go for pva

Aguero is back in too. I'll stick with him only from city attack for first week .And sure Mendy is !ore or less an attacker too

At the moment I’m on

Foster & Fabianksi
Wan-Bis Peltier Bennet Lowe Mee
Sanchez Salah Rambo Sane Cairney
PEA Zaha Austin

Both keepers are 4.5 and should both be number 1’s at their clubs. imo there is no point having one of them and say De Gea as you’ll never drop De Gea

My back line is like something you’d get on a Thursday morning in Aldi
Lowe Mee and 1 other will start the majority of games and by going this route I save money for other 8 players.

In midfield I went for 4 big hitters who will start for me and Cairney, first sub, who seems vital to Fulham. The start of the season will be hit and miss but those 4 are all training and playing at the moment and Sanchez has looked very good for United.

Uptop PEA could be playing left of a front 3 but I could change him out for KUN, Lukaku, Lacasette etc fairly easy.
Zaha finished the season well and could become Arnie or King if he’s not doing the biz and IF (it’s a big if) Charlie is fit and firing then he’s one of the best. If not maybe Wilson will come in or downgrade PEA and use the funds on Austin’s replacement.

Any thoughts?

What if the guys who we’re hoping might play as 4.0 starters aren’t that? They’re at that price because they’re only live outsiders to start tbh.

think your structure up top is off, i'd prefer to see a 9.0 or above striker to allow you to get in the hot streaking premium option. You could swap Sanchez for a Mata/Pedro/Jota/Richardlison and go for a Lacazette, Aug, or Firmino instead.

Not terribly happy having with my forwards v defenders match up in GW1. Cairney may get an early run out.

Also, why do people think Mendy and Aguero will start?

ShaneU

I really don't think Mkhitaryan is going to be in the starting 11

Front three will be Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Midfield will be Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey

There'd be a severe lack of natural width then. Some of the young Gunners have performed well on the right in preseason. One in particular is an absolute speed merchant I can't remember his name. Iwobi an option too of course.

I think that will be their line up againts hard teams.

most other games I would expect Ramsey to take up a role in the double pivot with Mikhy coming in.

You've no City attacking cover ahead of GW2-7 which is the easiest run any team has all season

I can easily got PEA to Lacasette and have an extra 1.5 to upgrade Zaha. Or likewise downgrade Sanchez as you suggest. I think the best value is in midfield this year so want to have a strong 4 there and then I’ll probably play my WC in the first international break
