My draft which I haven’t touched for a month:
Sanchez
TAA AWB Digne
Salah Fernandes Sarr Raphinha Grealish
Toney Iheanacho
Virginia - Coady Idah Omobamidele
Why are people so sure Sancho wont start saturday? Did i miss something?
Would you go with Raphina and Toney, or Spacecraft and Iheanacho?
Not sure why I've ended up with that obscure conundrum but these things happen :-)
I wouldn't be fond of either duo, but would 100% go with Raphina and Toney
Only a madman would consider the latter over the former.
Cheers...trying to inject some element of differential into my squad but on mature reflection I'll play it safe until a probable early Wildcard
Latest draft. Benrahma, Antonio, Wilson, Barnes and Mbuemo all on my radar aswell. Decisions decisions.
Any feedback appreciated! :)
Sanchez Steele
Shaw TAA Tsimikas White Manquillo
Salah, Zaha, Grealish, Smith Rowe, Gilmor
Kane, Ings, Antonio
Latest draft, think I am quiet happy with it.
Depending on Lukaku price I may change him for Kane and upgrade Zaha.
^^^ Will Kane play this weekend, if not that's a right pain,
Grealish/Smith Rowe may have rotation issues, not sure if spending 8m is wise on a player that is going to be in/out of a team over the next few weeks.
Right I'm settled and happy with this.
Sanchez (Steele) - Brighton GK's, cheap, hopefully do okay.
Tsimikas, TAA, Rudiger (White, Amartey) - Tsimikas at 4.0 is too good to turn down. TAA should have a big season. Rudiger for the high potential Chelsea CS this weekend, may keep for Arsenal the following week and swap out for Shaw in GW3. White/Amartey are grand, cheap defenders.
Salah, Bruno, Mahrez, Benrahma (Gilmour) - Salah the obvious (C) choice. Bruno is Bruno. Mahrez should start the season and focal to City's attack. Bit of a punt but feels safer over Grealish. Benrahma is a differential with a good pre season and decent fixtures.
Toney, Ings, Antonio - Have a feeling Brentford will turn Arsenal over on Friday, Toney in front of a home crowd, first PL game. FOMO not having him, easy swap out if he doesn't start well. Ings, proven PL goalscorer in a good side, wary of him and Watkins sharing points but confident at that price. Interesting to see if he is on pens. Antonio when fit is a great FPL option. Nice fixtures too.
Any feedback appreciated!
Manquillo won't get minutes I don't think as a 4.0 option. Would you go for Tsimikas or Amartey? Better chance to get minutes.
I like the Zaha punt. Kane is a punt too, not sure he will start tbh, rumours it'll be Son up front. Lot of money for a player not to get minutes.
What do you consider the "easy swap out" if Toney flops?
Manquillo will me 3rd sub so not too worried if he doesn't start. I can get rid after week 1 or 2.
Kane is a worry I will make that call Friday about 10mins before the deadline lol
Any thoughts? Dele Alli is a gamble but I think he might start under Nuno and if he can get back to anywhere near where he was then he's a bargain.
I was very close to getting Dele Alli in but im gonna see how he plays against city first
Yeah I can see that, I'm not gonna judge him too harshly against City though.
Heh :)
But if Iheanacho plays he would outscore Toney, and it's a question of what time period we're discussing, cos Spacecraft could start quicker than Raphinha... but obviously not long-term
I like Townsend myself and think he’ll prove to be a very good signing for them but Iheanacho is not guaranteed to start so that’s what made the decision easy.
Plan would be to move him on for a 4.5 fodder and upgrade Gilmour to someone like Raphinha/Buendia.
What's people's thoughts on Fabainski? Would he be a guaranteed starter now that west ham have also got Areola?
Martial himself has spoken about his fitness issues now also.
Still 2 days to go and I keep flip flopping. The logical thing is to include Bruno which gives:
Sanchez/Steele
TAA, Shaw, White. Tsimikas, Amartey
Salah, Fernandes, Mahrez, Harrison, Gilmour
Antonio, Ings, Toney
However, if I was to be brave (stupid?) and leave Bruno out my team would be:
Salah, Son, Mahrez, Barnes, Gilmour
Antonio, Ings, Wilson
Sweating over Kane now. I am happy to keep him in reserve till his future is confirmed, but want to hit the ground running. Starting Iheanacho and Toney up front in a 4-4-effing-2, but I genuinely can't see any higher priced alternative to bring in short-term.
Going to play 5 at the back, only one premium forward in Salah but I will captain him most weeks.
Sanchez/Bachmann
James/TAA/Dias/Shaw/Coufal
Mount/Gilmour/Raphinha/Salah/Greenwood
Ihenacho/Ings/Antonio
Any love for Traore?
Villa have 3 nice games to start, he had 7 goals and 7 assists in 2315 mins last season.
Can see him having even more of an impact with Grealish gone. Seems an ok option at 6mil.
Sanchez (Begovic)
TAA Shaw White Tsimkas Amartey
Salah Bruno Townsend Rapinha Gilmour
Ings Antonio Toney
3m in bank for Lukaku. Trying not to play Pep Roulette for the moment
True, but I'd say Watkins could possibly eat some of his mins. For 6 million you'd want to be sure he's a starter in a non top 6 team.
My draft so far, thoughts welcome: (3-5-2)
Sanchez - (4.0)
TAA - Shaw - Dunk - (Amartey) - (4.0)
Salah (c) - Fernandes - Jota - Greenwood - Balbuena
Ings - Antonio - (4.5)
I’d appreciate some thoughts on this team. I think it’s overloaded on Liverpool and maybe Utd, but I can’t see alternatives.
There goes zyiech after a good pre season. Back to the drawing board
Any indication of what Lukakus price will be yet
I would say 10.5 or 11.
