Bleating Lamb

First Draft for 2019-20.
Usually try to build team value and WC at first international break but may not do that this year.
0 itb
Squad-
Heaton Pope
VVD Maguire Digne Kelly Lundstram
Salah Sterling Perez Grealish Dendoncker
Kane King Ings

If he completes transfer I think Maguire could be BP magnet at Utd.
Possible dodgy picks imo are Grealish as he might be an assist the assister type player and Ings,he can be very injury prone but is a good finisher and new Saints manager is building good squad there.
How has Ings done in preseason anyone?
Appreciate any feedback,positive or negative on my picks.

Best of luck to all for the fun and games starting Friday evening.

galwaylad14

Alisson (Button)
Zinchenko TAA Diop (Lascelles) (Lundstram)
Perez Barkley Salah Sterling (Dendoncker)
Vardy Haller King

Maguire confirmed. I'm still a bit wary over him and AWB. If they concede in the first two games, which is conceivable, you're looking at an early price drop or two.

Currently on:

Heaton Pope
Stone TAA Delph (will play midfield) Cathcart Johnson

KBD Sterling Perez Lanzini Robinson

Kane Wilson Greenwood

1.0 in the bank

This is about my 50th draft. Think I’m getting there. Feel like I’m have one decision left to make. Playing 3-5-2.

Heaton / Pope
Two solid keepers. Rotate well. Good for save points.

VVD Digne Montoya Lundstram Kelly
Not convinced by starting with a premium defence. No evidence to back this up but feel like there’s always lots of goals in the first few weekends.
VVD rather than Robbo to save .5m.
Everton look goal shy but tight at the back in preseason. Montoya has decent fixtures and is playing OOP.
Lundstram also OOP. A bargain at 4.0 if he plays regularly. Worth it for potential price increases alone.
Not sure about Kelly. Bench fodder tbh.

Salah Sterling Pérez Barkley McGinn
Salah Sterling no explanation needed.
Pérez will thrive under Rodgers. Great value.
Barkley having a good preseason. Worth a punt for a few weeks.
I have a man crush on McGinn. Think he’ll do well. .5m cheaper than Grealish.

Kane King Greenwood
Kane even though he fools me every season.
King 1.5m cheaper than Wilson. Fond memories of the season before last. Bargain.
Greenwood is just bench fodder.

1.5m in bank. Could use it to go Barkey to Pulisic, Kelly to AWB, King to Wilson or Greenwood to a 6.0 striker.

All feedback/opinions welcome.

Good man Chesty. I knew you'd come up trumps with a good draft.

I like the the look of it. I like it a lot.

I've a similar team with Vardy in place of Auba and Ive used that money in defense but now I've no arsenal coverage which I'm not comfortable with. More tinkering required.

I’ve wanted Leicester coverage and Vardy was the thoughts for Kane or Aubameyang giving me 2 million to push Dendoncker up to Grealish & the .5m in defense to another 4.5m option

Tbh I think I’ll go with the Big 4 and reassess after 3 weeks.

Maguire could hit 30-35% by Friday. Either of them will be a good shout I reckon.

Too many potential non starters for my liking.
Lascelles has a run of tough fixtures at the start of the season as does Jiminez.
Haller, Wesley, Heaton and possibly Dunk could take time to settle in new teams as well.
Everton have not produced much goals in pre season so I would question the value in Ricky at 8mill. I have dropped Sigurdsson myself due to lack of attacking returns in the warm up games but maybe an Everton supporter can give more insight into how they will start in the league.

I still have digne and siggy
But every time I am looking for an extra ml I’m looking at siggy and his 8ml price tag .........I’m trying to stay strong !!!

This is my latest and hopefully last.

I believe Gomez, Zinchenko and Emerson will all start for their respective clubs and are the cheap way into the best defenses in the league. Dunk I'm hoping moves to Leicester and Lascelles is great value in what should be a very defensive Newcastle side under Steve Bruce.
In midfield I'm taking Barkley as everybody seems to like his chances of starting, I'm going with Ricky due to his fast starts in his two seasons in the Premier league. I'm going to take a chance on Lamela who has played a lot in preseason and I think he will start as Poch has always liked him and with Alli and Son out and Poch suggesting that Ndombele needs time to settle in it looks very likely that he'll get two games. Salah and Sterling have to be in the team imo.
Up front I'm gambling. Jiminez is a must have at his price. I've been impressed with what I've seen of Wesley and I think Haller is going to be a revelation. I think Haller along with Ndombele are the two best new players in the league.
My watchlist includes Mendy from City and Justin at Leicester in defense. In midfield Jota from Villa is on the list along with Son, Pogba, Fraser, Ndombele and Bilva.
Up top obviously Kane is one I'd love to have, Ings will be in quickly if things don't go well for my gambles. McGoldrick will be watched for a nice run of games as he is also on penalties.

Team is,

Pope/Heaton
Gomez, Emerson, Zinchenko, Dunk, Lascelles
Salah, Sterling, Ricky, Barkley, Lamela
Jiminez, Haller, Wesley

Love to hear your thoughts

I've put Digne back in and will probably get AWB too. Would rather play safe than risk a bad start.

Rest of the team seems set.have kept atleast 1 premium player in each position so can switch my team easily without hits if necessary.

Getting Close to my team- only 40/50 more changes

Ryan

Trent Zinc Aarons

Salah Sterling Perez Barkley (my punt)

Kane King Jiminez (5 pen takers out of front 7)

Button Dendo Lundstom Kelly (light bench if one plays ill be happy, if any play will increase in value)

Have just changed to get sterling in- can't decide whether change back
Sterling/Kelly- KDB/VanDijk

wrestlemaniac

Have landed on this team and will go with it barring injuries.

4-5-1 formation

Pope - Heaton

VVD- Robertson- Walker- Digne (Lundstram)

Salah- Sterling- Moura- Perez- Barkley

King (Wesley- Greenwood)

Keepers rotate well
Defence have attacking and clean sheet potential.
Midfield is a bit punty. Moura will play with Alli injured and Son suspended. Perez and Barkley have done well in pre-season.
Forwards_ King has good fixtures as does Wesley. If Barkley doesn't play, Wesley is 1st sub.

This is what I was thinking, shift the underperforming premium & use cash to upgrade a defender or Barkley, Dendoncker, King. It gives me plenty of wiggle room

What’s people views on this team 4 premiums!

Heaton - or could be Pope (Button)

VvD Kiko Taylor (Kelly, Reid)

Salah Sterling Barkley Dendoncker (Guendozi)

Kane Aubameyang King

So obviously worries around starting Dendoncker. Burnley & Watford have decent fixtures so thinking both players could hit average for 4.5m players.

Barkley & King, both on pens & both in teams who’ll play attacking football.

Then there is the Big 4 of Salah, Kane, Aubameyang, Sterling - the main men from the Top4 this season

I've moved off Sterling in favour of Kane today.

4.5 GK TBA
Robertson VVD Zinchenko Digne
DeBruyne Salah Barkley Siggy
King Kane

GK - Still debating all the 4.5m GK's - will upgrade if I find spare cash anywhere
Def - Big prices, feel a premium defence is the way to go, especially with the lack of options under 5.5m
Mids - Salah/Siggy been in pretty much every draft, DeBruyne loos under-priced if he's got a bit of form and no injuries, Barkley is a bit of a punt, looks to be in good shape in preseason (albeit started a few games on the bench)
Fwd - Kane has some nice opening fixtures and a summer off. King is my favourite of the 6.5 options

5 days later, decided I need Sterling in my team, so sacrificing Kane and going 451. Going to bring in Lucas Moura for a bit of Spurs in my team.

Pope
Robertson VVD Walker-Pieters Digne
Salah Sterling DeBruyne Barkley Moura
King

I'll be looking to get Son instead of Moura when he returns, may sacrifice VVD at that stage.
Not too pushed about no City defenders, first 3 games are against fairly free scoring teams, much prefer Liverpools start.

Right nearly there might ditch Pope and bring in Laporte for Walker or Digne for Coleman
GK: Heaton| Pope
DF: Robertson | Walker| Coleman| Lundstram| Kelly
MF: Salah | DeBruyne | Perez | Siggy| Dendoncker
FW: Kane | Ings | King

VERY similar to my team !
I’m between Ings/Adams and Wesley
I like the new saints manager and how he got them playing
But their fixtures are not the best
And Wesley after GW 1 has a lovely run . But of course is new to the league and I’ll have Heaton playing from them too. Double Villa I don’t know ......

patmac

bodking

So I have a draft .
WC maybe after GW 4 but it is a big maybe .
3-5-2 format .
Pope / Heaton
Rotate we'll both 4.5 Pope gw1 Heaton Gw 2-4

TAA / Laporte / Duffy / Kelly / Lundstram

TAA and Laporte are drop and forget
Duffy gw1-3 may go after that
Lundstram was getting time and in the midfield
Kelly will be the next AWB or be the worst ever .

Salah / Sterling / Moura / Perez / Fraser

What can I say , if you can find a better midfield I'm all ears .

Murray / Wilson / Greenwood

Not premium but reliable and Greenwood at 4.5 is my punt pick .

Ok any comments are welcome

After much tinkering, I’m considering trying to get a solid 15 for the first 3-4 gws with the aim of using bench boost early and then most likely wildcard after first international break.

Looking at something like this at the moment

Heaton Pope
Digne Robertson Zincheko Ake Kelly
Salah Sterling Perez Moura Barkley
King Deulofeu Ings

After typing it out now, I’m not feeling all that comfortable with it, any opinions or thoughts welcome

i wouldnt be happy going with such a lightweight forward line but have king myself and i thik he is a decent price @6.5, will moura play every week, remember how easily he was cast aside for a half fit harry kane after scoring a hattrick in the semi. Will be rotated with son imo.

Barkley far from nailed on either, new manager in the door there and who kows what way chelsea will line up plus add and has never really delivered in FF, villa conceded some amounnt of goals last season and have a brand new backline bar mings, they will take time to settle, smith is known for his attacking football so i wouldnt be confident of villa players in defence.

Fabianski,Mendy,Doherty and Jimenez all carrying knocks. Pretty sure Doherty is out and over priced. Double Wolves attack is brave considering Europe and their tough opening start.

thanks for the feedback.

i) I amended Vardy to Kane.
ii) My reason for 3 starting Bournemouth players is their fixture list. I'm v much banking on them getting off to a flyer and price increases.
iii) I'm going to take a look at my midfield again to see what else i can do.

Liverpool, Alisson, GKP

Liverpool, Robertson, DEF
Liverpool, van Dijk, DEF
Everton, Digne,DEF

Crystal Palace, Zaha, MID
Leicester, Perez, MID
Leicester, Tielemans, MID
Bournemouth, Fraser, MID

Bournemouth, King. FWD
Spurs, Kane, FWD
Bournemouth, Wilson, FWD

Substitutes
Brighton, Ryan, GKP
Crystal Palace, Milivojevic, MID
Watford, Cathcart, DEF
Newcastle, Lascelles, DEF

I would argue against having Cathcart on your bench, even if he's only 4.5m. I'd either invest that 0.5m elsewhere or keep it in your bank.

If you're not going to start him against Brighton at home, then he's unlikely to get much consideration for you.
