remoteboy · 13-08-2021 6:44pm

Made loads of last minute changes and then undid them all 😂. Have had this team for a few days now. Hopefully my (begrudging) faith will be repaid.

Rikand · 13-08-2021 6:45pm

Only 2 players different in our teams

Sanchez

Taa, shaw, tsimikas

Salah(c) bruno barnes son

A.armstrong toney antonio

remoteboy · 13-08-2021 6:47pm

There’s definitely a template already. Fine margins will decide this gameweek.

Like the Son and Armstrong picks, less templatey than mine! Good luck 👍

claw · 13-08-2021 6:56pm

Sanchez

TAA Tsimikas Dias

Salah(C) Bruno Mount Raphinha

Ings Toney Antonio

Subs: Webster White Gilmour

A couple of late changes with Mount in for Grealish and Ings in for Wilson. Ings ownership and not sure about Grealish starting being the reason for the changes.

SkySter · 13-08-2021 6:57pm

Sanchez

Taa Coufal Tsimikas Shaw

Fernandes Salah(C) Barnes

Ings Toney Antonio

Good luck everyone!

wanderer100 · 13-08-2021 6:58pm

Great to have the footy back!! Only did my first draft last night and I've left it at that. Pretty much template from what I've seen floating around

Sanchez

Shaw, Coufal, Tsimikas

Salah(C), Bruno, Grealish, Raphinha

Antonio, Ings, Toney

Bench: Foster, Barnes, White, Veltman

Father Hernandez · 13-08-2021 7:01pm

Am I right in saying we can't see any other teams until points are counted later tonight?

Benimar · 13-08-2021 7:01pm

Sanchez

TAA, Tsimikas, Shaw, Coufal

Salah (c), Fernandes, Gundogan

Ings, Antonio, Toney

Steele, Raphinha, Gilmour, White

Will be lots of similar scores this week, but the moves for Kane and/or Lukaku and how players make them will shake things up over the next couple of weeks.

Can't remember my bench players, d'oh!

Hopefully Toney shows up.

Goodluck all. Bring on the points!

Ninja Avenger · 13-08-2021 7:04pm

Updated quick this year

extra gravy · 13-08-2021 7:08pm

Tried to change Gundo to Greenwood at the last minute, didn't think it went through but it did. Not sure how I feel about it now in hindsight 😬

dahat · 13-08-2021 7:14pm

Great to be back folks & normal kick offs.

54and56 · 13-08-2021 7:17pm

Anyone got codes for any Boards classic leagues? Been hunting them and for the life of me can't find them. The Liverpool league would be great.

SlickRic · 13-08-2021 7:28pm

Sanchez

TAA Tsimikas Shaw

Gundogan Salah Fernandes Raphinha

Toney Antonio Ings

Subs: Steele Brownhill Veltman Ait Nouri

Tsimikas is punty, and won't last more than 4 GWs potentially, but huge upside.

Toney, Antonio, Ings, Salah, Fernandes are all talismen for their clubs.

TAA no brainer.

Shaw is a rank killer not to have.

Raphinha is underpriced by at least 1m.

Gundogan is nailed for City and want someone for Norwich.

0.5itb to help with getting Lukaku when he's needed.

I'm scared of Barnes, Mahrez, Greenwood and Benrahma. I think they call could bang. But you can't have everyone.

Bring on the pain.

Losendos · 13-08-2021 7:28pm

I'm terrible at this, but it is good fun.

Mendy

Dias Mings Tarkowski

Ward-Prowse Son Zaha Grealish (c) Buendia

Best of luck to everyone

COH · 13-08-2021 8:15pm

Great to be back! Missed the banter and as sh*t as the new boards is its great to see thr familiar names back for more punishment. Anyway I too succumbed to the template .... didn't have much time to think about it like in previous years so happy to hide in the middle of the herd

Sanchez

TAA - Digne - Shaw

Salah (c) - Bruno - Buendia - Raphinha

Toney - Ings - Antonio

[Steele - White - Tsimikas - Gilmour]

Since we all seem to have 9/11 same players I hope you all have a wonderful week (unless you have Barnes or Son who made brief appearances in my drafts).

NoviGlitzko · 13-08-2021 8:21pm

Muembo is a 5.5M mid starting as a OOP striker. One to watch.

COH · 13-08-2021 8:23pm

Alot of White cleanies disappeared there

Scorpion Sting · 13-08-2021 8:24pm

Canos goal, Pinnock assist

Canos 0.2% onwership

Pinnock 0.2% ownership

Ben White 26% ownership

Good to have ya back FPL, never change

Scorpion Sting · 13-08-2021 8:31pm

Mbeumo misses a really good chance.

Fitz* · 13-08-2021 8:31pm

Brentford should be 2 up. Mbuemo misses a great chance after some nice feet.

I like his positioning and enthusiasm so far.

Let's see if he can finish.

He's looking good, only 5.5 too

New season, same shïte Arsenal.

He's a mid too, him and Smith Rowe are the same price. I choose poorly
