5-4-1 Experiment

Green&Red

They talked on the scoutcast last nite about big strikers being finished with. Last season when it was obvious I was doing sh!t I switched to four at the back, it failed miserably.

So now I'd like to run an experiment on going all out from the back to see how it would compare with my actual team. I'm happy for it to be a shared effort so if anyone has any strong feelings on the current midfield or strikers let me know.
Have the C on Mendy for the weekend, purely because I think he'll do better than Salah
Team ID: 5015321

DDG - Hamer
Mendy - Robbo - Walker - Alonso - PVA
Hazard - Salah - Ricki - Mane - Guendoesi
Ings - Joselu - Success

Guendoesi- Ings - Success on the bench this week

Rose injured. Will Start next week

Trippier looking far more impressive than Bavies

Figured it must have been a decent week for that team. How long before we all start wildcarding for it!

I'm working my way to it.

Mendy, Robertson, Alonso: check

Want to add one of Arsenals wing backs in a few weeks.

AWB will probably remain to complete the 5 for now but plenty others that are appealing.

74pts with DDG to come and Joselu’s 7 on the bench

Helped that Hazard, Salah and mitro all scored

Guessing this week was a success?

Green&Red

76, not too bad considering what Aguero did but then maybe that’s something you’ll be able to say every week. Walker out was a loss

Green&Red

32 from 4

jimmii

Yeah probably best to keep Alonso in :pac:

Just on Alonso, he has still been getting forward a fair bit under Sarri... from the preseason and opening games. He could be getting forward less than before but it didn't really look it to me.

Same old Alonso.

I’m going to say no for now, have absolute dirt up front and 5 x 6m defenders until we have something cheaper to classify as premium.

We could spread the midfield money? Hazard is an extravagance

I think as long as the team is selected with the intention of playing 5-4-1 you should be able to work within that. Hazard is always and extravagance!

I would probably try save a touch on Alonso and upgrade mitrovic to Arnie. I don't think it would be against the spirit of it still. Luiz or Davies maybe? Still premium but allow the upgrade.

Thats the thread from last season where I played my 5man defence. Alonso, Bavies, Duffy, Lascalles, Naughton was my defence. All had good fixtures. All let me down. Elliot was in goal. Between the 6 of them i got 6 points

Versus 334 for my actual team

Although it does have pedro as being dropped on FFS

I think you have a different range selected! Don't think any team is going to be averaging 67 a week for 5 weeks!

I went 523 in week 1, usually go 3 atb & cheapish options but saw too much value in defenders... long season I know but did well in week1. back 5 was: Mendy, Walker, PvA, Robertson & Coleman. only Coleman didn't score well but with his fixtures i'm sure that'll change

Ah, maybe Ings instead of Joselu ? Joselu will get limited minutes with Newcastle but Rondon is going to squeeze him out soon enough I think.

Can you afford Ings instead of Kamara ? Or have the price increases stopped this?
I like the idea, that defense could get some serious points.

Only 5.3m left

I'm pro-defenders so curious to see how this goes! They are the best value right so this has to work!! Week to week it'll be fairly brutal but I think in the long run it could do alright.

Completely disagree with the thought that premium strikers are finished with.

Kane, Aguero, Aubamayeng etc will all be right up there at the end of the season, injury permitting.

I’ll be rolling with 2 premium strikers all season. Currently I’m Aguero and Firmino and will probably have Kane and Aubamayeng in a few weeks.

I will follow with interesting though. Good idea.

Very few will go without any premium striker. What will have most managers thinking though is investing in a premium defender(or two) instead of a mid priced mid or fwd(or two)
