Lundstram to stay as a defender?

Yeah it should be Rashford and Auba moved back to midfield and Antonio, Martial and Richarlison moved up to forward.

There'll probably be a few mids moved back to defence as well and some maybe vice-versa.

Would make sense. But then this is fpl so maybe we'll still have Martial in midfield and Rashford upfront because the person who knows how to make players switch positions is off.

He takes penalties alright

Scorpion Sting · 14-08-2020 5:31pm

Sheffield United's Norwegian beanpole Sander Berge coming in at 5m.

Scorpion Sting · 14-08-2020 5:41pm

Richarlison 8m forward. Not really interested personally.

He scored 3 penalties in the Bundesliga & 2 in the CL last (this?) season.

Then for consistency, Rashford should go to midfield

No, not really for me. Do we change a players position every time they play a few months in a bit of a different role? If Rashford plays a full season wide now, then I think the sample size becomes big enough to make the change.

Pulisic looks good at 8m

The doorbell 8.5

Pulisic 8 million. Look at them helping us save a few quid for TAA’s eventual 10 million release

Tbf Salah plays even further forward than Rashford most of the time do I don't see why Rashford should be s forward. No reason United should have 3 forwards in their front 3 and Liverpool or City only have one.

I think it's generally based on where the player has played for the majority of the previous season.

Rashford has been a traditional number 9 until relatively recently. Salah has never been a traditional number 9. The FPL distinction between midfielder and forward has typically been whether a guy is a typical number 9.

Harry Kane will have had a deeper heat map than most wide strikers this year, but he’s a traditional number 9 by trade so it would take a lot for anything to ever come of that.

For me, Rashford and Auba should probably be similar.

Without having a gigantic study with statistics in front of me, my perception has been that it’s taken a bit longer than that, unless it’s a quite clear one, which neither Rashford or Auba are.

A midfielder playing in defence and vice versa, is a bit different to blurring the lines between wide striker and striker in increasing fluid offensive setups.

Sterling has played as the no 9 and sole striker at City and is down as a midfielder tbf.

I think Auba might have played too much there last year to make the leap, but I don't see how Rashford or greenwood would be marked as forwards instead of mids considering they've rarely played there

Greenwood’s football pre-COVID was fairly central from what I saw. My personal opinion on Rashford would be that after 4 years of a central striker, I wouldn’t be moving to midfielder because he has had 1 year as a wide striker. If he had a year as a midfielder I’d be perfectly comfortable with it, but given the line is blurry to begin with, I’d be looking for bigger sample sizes to change it.

They may well go ahead with it considering all the Twitter talk. It won’t stress my life too much either way to be honest.

manual_man · 14-08-2020 7:49pm

Can't believe Pulisic is 8m. I quite like Werner's price too so might be a double up depending on what opening fixtures are like.

£8.5m is still a good price. My guess is Ziyech will be the same

I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, but feel like he shouldn't be.

Isn't Ziyech in around the same spot now that Pulisic was in when he joined? The Eredivisie record in the Premier League is not frequently a smooth transition but it would appear that his social media popularity among FPLers will probably see him higher than he might have been otherwise.

Maybe the right middle ground would be an even 8?

manual_man · 14-08-2020 9:42pm

8m would be a little more tempting alright. Though would still be risky compared to Pulisic who's shown he can do the business

I think they’ll make Pulisic slightly more with Ziyech being a slight unknown. If they’re the same I suspect everyone will be on Pulisic.

Scorpion Sting · 14-08-2020 10:06pm

Chris Wood 6.5 as expected.

FPL site is showing a twitter message saying Ings is at 8.5mill.

Think I'll be putting him in my team at that price.

I’m worried that it’s a lot for a Southampton striker. He might regress towards the mean.

Shanotheslayer · 15-08-2020 1:02am

No chance Ings is worth 8.5M imo. He won't got near those numbers again. Also he was terrible before the Covid break. The break did him well and he started banging again

I don’t think he needs to reach those numbers again to be worth 8.5 though. Much depends how sharp the decline is. If he was on pens I’d be much more likely to consider it but I think I’ll avoid.

Richarlison at 8.0 I think is a much better option and I want neither personally.

Good point on him not reaching those numbers.

manual_man · 15-08-2020 1:10am

Sometimes strikers reach a turning point in their careers. I found Ings very convincing last season. He was consistently good. I'm seriously looking at him.

Aubam confirmed as a 12.0M Midfielder

SlickRic · 15-08-2020 9:13am

That fúcks it all up. Good Christ, what a minefield.

Werner is a must now as a forward.

Auba, Salah, Mane, KDB, Sterling, Fernandes, Pulisic, Son, potentially Rashford.

Big, big choices to make.

Benimar · 15-08-2020 9:31am

So we will all be playing 3-5-2 this season I see :pac:

He also gets a lot of bonus points when he scores, I remember a lot of 9 pointers.
