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
Currently on this team. Planning to get the Bench Boost out of the way this GW and also expecting an early WC once we see how certain teams are starting, bring in Lukaku and/or Kane, etc:
Sanchez (Bachmann)
TAA - Shaw - Digne - Tsimikas (White)
Salah (C) - Bruno - Barnes (Benrahma - Brownhill)
Ings - Antonio - Toney
This is my team at the moment,
GK: Martínez/Sanchez
DEF: Dias/ Coufal / Tsimikas / Bednarek / Lowton
MID: Bruno (C) / Soucek /Traoré / Gündogan / Dallas
FWD: Ings / Vardy(VC) / Toney
Left with 4m ITB
Just to keep in mind, you may need to replace Obafemi at some point in the near future. Blackburn looking at buying him as well as other clubs outside the top flight and his position by no means guaranteed with Southampton having brought in 2 others strikers, Armstrong and Borja. I've got Armstrong at the moment. He did great stuff for us at Rovers last season ... but then I thought the same about Super Jordan Rhodes and that sadly didnt work out to well for him in the Prem :(
My latest attempt at drafting a team - any feedback? There's 0.5m left in the bank with this team. I'm happy to leave it in the bank to help get to other players over the coming weeks if there's no obvious improvement that would add more value.
*Other Considerations*
As the first game of the GW is Friday, I'd guess that all players would have to be registered by Thursday at the latest in order to play. Was he registered Thursday? Might not have been.
Currently on the following with 4 mill in the bank.
Debating Barnes to Grealish/Mahrez. Obviously going without Bruno and could make some changes to get him in.
Traore is a punt and have Ings but the first three Villa fixtures are great and can switch him out for Raphina or similar if it goes wrong.
Jota the other one I’m questioning a bit but he should start the first few games I hope.
yep read that and papers jumped on that. just wondering if anyone from club confirmed
Ornstein reporting it here.
martial is not injured?
has that been confirmed officially though?
Have you done any planning on who youre going to sell to get to Lukaku at 11.5m? Was thinking about it myself earlier and wondering is it better to build a GW1 team that has 2m or 3m in the bank so getting him can be done in a single transfer without selling other big players like Bruno/Salah. My current draft only has 0.5m in the bank which would mean using 2 free transfers to get to Lukaku
Whattaya hear whattaya say ?
I thought Martial played against Everton, in the recent 4-0, and was rating to go ?
are you saying he’s not playing/available this weekend ?
Thanks and great team too can't see anything wrong
Extension called better FPL: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-fpl/oimpiccgpkkjbdligdbcipdcjcklcglm
Pretty good team, just some small changes I would make. Id sell Vardy, too expensive. You could downgrade him to Antonio or Iheanacho ( I suggest Antonio) and then you have 3m to upgrade maybe one of your defenders to TAA or maybe even Benrahma to a Mahrez.
I think Ive finally confirmed my team:
GK: Sanchez/Foster
DEF: Tsimikas / Coufal / TAA / Shaw / Dunk
I chose Tsimikas because hes set to start, playing against NOR its a good chance of clean sheet, and hes pretty attacking. TAA doesnt really need explanation, and Coufal because he created a ridiculous number of chances last season, and theyre playing NEW so also good clean sheet chance. Dunk is also great because hes very attacking and scores often but Im benching him because I think having two brighton defensive players may not be the best. Shaw as well, Im not sure if Man Utd will hold a clean sheet. But to prevent extra waste of transfers later, im keeping these two on the bench.
MID: Raphinha / Saka / Bruno (VC) / Barnes / Salah (C)
Salah, Bruno and Raph are pretty self explanatory. Ive chosen Saka specifically because its against Brentford in GW1, I think there will be arsenal goals because brentford has really bad defence, and Saka is likely to be linked with them. But I intend to swap Saka with Buendia in GW2. Barnes played really well in the pre-season, and against a Wolves defence, he could get points.
FWD: Antonio / Ings / Obafemi
Antonio and Ings also explained very often by others, so I wont go into it. I chose Obafemi because he was the best option for a cheap 4.5m, ofcourse he'll be the last one on my bench.
Now, my biggest dilemma here is really about benching either Shaw or Raphinha. For now Im benching Shaw because Im expecting goals from both teams, so I dont think there'll be any clean sheets for Shaw. But still, Im not sure. I cant even be sure that Raphinha can score against Utd. Its a dilemma for sure.
Any thoughts?
How do you get the five fixtures planner under each player? would make planning transfers much easier.
Thoughts appreciated if you could tear it to pieces.
Have a rough idea of captaincy that's pretty heavy on Salah for the first few and then the back 3 will be TAA, Shaw and one of the three cheap guys with a decent shout of a clean. Ings to Jim after GW3 and after that I'm not sure what other fires I'll need to put out on the way.
Also have 1.0 in the bank to move probably Greenwood to Gundo / Grealish for GW2 with captaincy in mind.
Early punt on Grealish at a million cheaper maybe if you are looking for a bit of fun?
Think everyone else is waiting to see him play a couple games before bringing him in at least
Sanchez Meslier
Bertrand Shaw Tmiskas White Targett
Salah Fernandez Benramha Raphinha Brownhill
Vardy Toney Ings
Any thoughts?? Nowt in the bank..
I heavily considered Mahrez, but he's 100% a trap BUT I'm not sure if the trap is owning him or not owning him 😂 My point being, Pep being Pep and not playing him despite doing so throughout preseason... 9 seems too much to gamble on that, for the benefit of my poor brain if nothing else!
Lukaku will be interesting, especially in how the rest of the team is setup? If the pressure is off Werner then maybe it'll help him out? Plus the change in the offside law? :)
Nobodys nailed, but Rashford, Martial and Cavani are out.
Is Greenwood nailed?
Down to the wire between himself and Gundog....already have Bruno and not sure about the double up tbh
Quite hard to judge pre-season form this year but i guess i more meant players that have started majority of matches pre-season. Its been a long 18 months for most and I'm leaning towards players at tthe start who werent involved at all in summer tournamnts on the back of the last season and a half. Like even players travelling and constantly training if not starting (eg Firmino/Henderson in Liverpools case) must be wrecked and injury/rotation risks. I guess the first 3 GWs will tell a lot.
Kinda realising I'm gonna want Kane fairly soon if he moves to City so picking a 3 week team basically. I've gone off BB GW1 in favour of a potential BB GW2! Nicer fixtures (City V NOR and Liverpool V BUR is 33% of my team) and a week to see who's starting. Biggest problem at the moment is that I want Torres if Kane hasn't landed, so he'll become a problem if the Kane move goes through. So basically a fairly template core, with a nicer set of BB punts.
Martinez - Sanchez
TAA - Tsimikas - Shaw - Stones - Digne
Salah - Greenwood - Torres - Harrison - Barnes
Antonio - Ings - Toney
Alot of biased in what I have followed but ziyech was flying by all means but he will be out for a while now I presume? Raphina has been getting very strong reports as has benrahma and Antonio. West ham went back earlier than nearly everyone afaik so could be a bit further ahead to start
Are people not off havertz after last night? I did have him as a short term punt but I'd have doubts over him starting now so I'm going without.
Taa tsimikas shaw
Benrahma Bruno salah pepe/gundogan Barnes
Antonio ings
Sanchez coufal white obafemi
Not sure on planning transfers but I do like pepe for this week and gundog looks an easy switch with kdb not expected back for gw2
hoping to bring in lukaku after a week or two
Also looking but can't find any league codes. Is there a sticky somewhere with open/public Boards related league codes?
Hard call. All four players are good picks I think. I have White, Grealish and Barnes at the moment.
