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.

Mangala the only one I can think of and I don't even think he's playing :pac:

Kane is in my team now, not quite sure how that happened. Early kick off in August... what's the worst that came happen.

The thing is when he breaks the hoodoo he'll probably do it in style, break the record for goals scored in August by a player

Right first draft. Had Kane in but have moved him out again for the time being. Very City/Pool heavy but I think both those sides are going to score an awful lot of goals.

Foster/Fabianski

Robertson/Mendy/Peltier/Wan Bissaka/Tarkowski

Jota/Salah/Shaqiri/Schneiderlin/KDB

Aguero/King/Zaha

Early worry is that Shaqiri might be on the bench but he's been great in pre-season for Liverpool. And not sure KDB will start the first game after the World Cup.

As you say no City, they have the best fixtures and are the best team

Also Redmond - the man will break ur heart

Indeed, had him last year, but hoping with no Tadic it might mean he will step up slightly (top scorer in pre season I think, notched an assist or two as well. At 5.5m and first 7 fixtures are as decent enough (BUR,eve,LEI,cry, BHA,Liv, wlv).

Manga plays CB for Cardiff. Was worried Bamba would play but looks like Manga will be the starting CB alongside Morrison but 0.5m cheaper. Would expect them to put a big focus on not conceding for the first 6/7 games as fixtures are as tough as they come after the first 3. Hoping for the odd cleansheet and perhaps a bit of Set Piece magic from Warnock.

Shaqiri wont start, either will KdB. There are far, far better options in midfield for £4.5 than the 2pt magnet that is Schneiderlin.

Pretty happy with this haven't tinkered for a few days

Ederson (Steklenburg)
PVA Robbo Boly (Wan-B, Peltier)
Salah Mahrez Mané Jota Richarlison
Aguero Mitrovic (Kamara)

May go with Mata gw1 and then get Ricky in gw2

Really like the Boly pick, reckon he could be good for a few goals. I'd go for him but I already have Patricio.

A double up doesn't make sense. I had Patricio for a long time i think he'll do well. Boly's underlying stats would seem conducive to bonus. If he chips in with a goal or two all the better.

You could get Bernardo Silva for the same price as Shaqiri, he's probably more likely to start, for the first few weeks anyway. Schneiderlin to Stephens or McDonald. Would be worried about owning a Burnley cb after they signed Gibson for a record fee. Maybe Ward/Lowton would be safer though EL could see them being rotated too.

I currently have 2 5ml mids but may move one up and one down yet so haven’t really looked too closely at 4.5 mids
But
There are not as many as previous years nailed on
Darren fletcher , TPT and of course Gareth Barry

Salah Mane Bilva Richarlison (Hudson-Odoi)

Early WC to assess arsenal's options for their run & try to accommodate KDB.
Very tempted to go Mitrovic for Arnie & then upgrade Bednarek to Holebas or Hudson-Odoi to Cairney... Thoughts?

I'd upgrade one or two of your 4m defenders, its very unlikely they will all start
Other than that nice time, will depend on Bilva's playing time

I think Peltier & WanB will start, which should see me through til the international break as should Bilva. From there I'll make the changes, will likely go Bilva -> Mhki & upgrade def

It's a good team but you're already likely forcing yourself into an early wc with that bench, little room to maneuver with any injury / suspension.

If you're not going to start Hudson then I don't see the point of having him in over a solid 4.5 starter. Hudson will be out of the team soon likely, get yourself a reliable 2 pointer. This gives you more breathing room if rotation / injuries / suspensions kick in.

I've gone for a cheap bench too, it's an attractive strategy if a bit risky. I wouldn't be against this spread of funds, but getting a reliable 4.5 mid in place of Hudson is one definite tweak that should be made imo, due to the question marks over your other bench players

Fab

Alexander-Arnold, Mendy, Wan-Bissaka

Considering the 5 premium players you have in (Mendy, Salah, Sanchez, Auba and Aguero) are 51.5 million, it is always going to be tough getting a balanced squad.
Personally, I'd be dropping one of them (Auba?) for a cheaper option to upgrade one or two of your other players.
In saying that, if those premium lads start strong you are away to a flier!

Seaba

Foster, Fab
Mendy, Van Aanholt, Daniels, Cedric, Peltier
Salah, Mane, BSilva, Richarlison, Ralls
Aguero, Arnie, Tosun

Downgrading Mendy to Shaw/TAA or Van Aaholt to Tompkins would give me a million each extra but had those guys in from the start to reluctant to second guess myself.

Happy enough with midfield as Liverpool, City and Everton have decent early fixtures.

Upfront not so sure:
Arnie has tough fixtures but on his day....
Tosun means double Everton attack - even in last years skinny game week that felt wrong! Zaha or Austin could come in for one of these.
Aguero is Aguero especially after Community Shield.

Two days to go, and onto Draft #3. Going with 3 Liverpool and 3 Man City, with as much cash as possible put into the starting XI - I will be using the WC early:

Patricio, 4.0
Robertson, Mendy, Luiz, Wan Bissaka, Peltier
Salah, Mane, Bernardo Silva, Richarlison, Stephens
Aguero, Zaha, King

Two 4.0 defenders is a concern, but it looks as if Wan Bissaka (at least) will start.

I do have 0.5 ITB, so could get a 2nd playing keeper, upgrade Peltier to a 4.5 or Stephens to Cairney.

Opinions?

dedaw

Help please! Umpteen drafts and still not 100%!
The sooner it starts the better!
Currently....
Patricio (Stekelenburg)
Daniels, Cedric, Mendy, Wan-Biss, Belerin
Cairney, Gunnarsson, Salah , Eriksen, Richarlison
Firmino, Arnie, Aguero

1.0m spare change. It's burning a hole! Wouldn't mind keeping 0.5m to play with in the coming weeks.

Opinions? Ideas? Suggestions?

How nailed is Luiz? I've seen him in a lot of teams (including my own til recently) but is he likely to be a consistent starter? 5.5m is a bit too juicy for a lad who may not be guaranteed a game

I'm steering clear of Chelsea for now but I'd favour Rudiger over Luiz if i was going for one

Paully D

A Kane team with Salah and Aguero, for a laugh:

feb267c4825b3463fe8276ffb3e18eff.jpn

It's not too bad, IMO. Two heavy hitting premium defenders in there too.

Bernardo Silva could be someone like Ramsey after GW2.

I was leaning towards starting with Kane but the fact I can get to the above with 3 transfers from my current side makes me far less likely to go ahead with it.

Firmino -> Kane
Bernardo -> Mahrez
Peltier -> £4.5m-£5.5m DEF

Ye big time, Rudiger appears to be the most certain starter at centre back but for that price I'd rather have Mendy or Trippier when he's back starting so I'm giving him a miss. The 5 to 5.5m slot is wrecking my head, I've had van Aanholt, Luiz, Bailly and Tarkowski in my team recently and none feel quite right.
