RATE MY TEAM 19/20

It's purely because of his ownership. I may not go with him in the end.

There are certain players whose high ownership you should be scared of. I'd argue AWB isn't one of them.

If you think he's a points getter from the off, go for it. But it's too defensive a move. What is he likely to score over the first few GWs? I'd argue 9 a game on a good day (if he gets 3 bonus and a CS), as he's not the most prolific attacking RB yet. Can that be covered by players you'd prefer to have? I think so.

FOMO is for the Kanes, Salahs, Sterlings and Agueros of this world as they could hit 40 over 3 GWs, with high ownership.

FOMO is not for AWB.

Looking at this - any thoughts/suggestions:

Allison / McCarthy

VanDijk Doherty Laporte Van Aanholt Keane

Mane Daouré Moutinho Hourihane Grob

King Auba Jota

To be honest, this looks a really poor team.

Doherty, PVA and Keane aren't great defender picks, the midfield is probably the worst I've seen on here, and after all that you still only have 1 premium striker.

I'd tear it up and start again.

I agree

Right how about something like this.......
Ryan(button) - - I am just not going rotating keepers. Pure heartache
Digne VVD Targett Taylor Lundstrum - Robbo had been in every draft until now but I needed .5 Not mad on rotating Villa/Burnely defenders but don't see better for first 6. I dropped Maguire as their fixtures are not exactly worth the risk
Salah KDB Siggy Perez Dendoncker/4.5 - I tried Sterling instead of KDB and I just didnt like it. Happy with the rest. I will keep the faith with Siggy
Kane King Jiminez - Jiminez has just been added which led to shake up of rest of team. I had been worried about 2nd season, fixtures, europa and his fitness but have now convinced myself I am overthinking it. And he is a nice price point. And highly owned..........

Sterling is the price the only thing that is the problem there, I can see him playing striker role alot more this season. What you think of B Silva over KDB ?

Lads,

I'd really appreciate any advice on my team. Struggling to get the right balance, but then that seems to be the case for all.

Pope
Heaton

Robertson
Alexander Arnold
Laporte
Kelly
Lundstram

Sterling
Salah
Grealish
Dendoncker
Robinson

Kean
Vardy
Wesley

I'm a Villa fan so maybe blinkered !

Looking at United’s fixtures I’m thinking of downgrading maguire to a 4.5
If I decide to go for sterling

It's a personal thing, but Salah and Sterling are essential to start with.

You may get lucky and they don't explode, and you might curse me if they blank. But if they blank, the worst thing that happens is you're with the majority of others.

If either explode, and you don't have them its already uphill.

Outside of them, I think Kane is the only one who could ruin someone's start to the season

This team has changed about 1000 times so far and will prob change about 1000 more by Friday but this is where i am at the moment.
Any input would be appreciated.


Heaton

VVD/AWB/Duffy
Salah/Sterling/KDB/Barkley
King/Rashford/Wood

Norris/Lundstrum/Dendoncker/Balbuena

Team is selected to get me to WC after the international break and thinking is try get nailed on starters with a minimum of punts.

Goalkeepers:
For budget reasons going for set and forget 4.5m. Heaton is there for decent AV fixtures and Norris as low ownership fodder.

Defense:
Not convinced Liverpool will be as good defensively as last year but need cover in case they are Have gone with VVD but if I had the extra .5 I would prefer Robertson.
Had Zinchenko but have changed for Duffy as I think Mendy comes in from GW2. Duffy rotates well with Balbuena and has bee among the goals in pre-season.
Not convinced on AWB but would like a third from the top 6 (minus Arsenal). Keeping an eye on how Chelsea or Spurs will line out for this position with possibly Zouma or KWP giving me the .5 to upgrade to Robertson but again feel they may not be nailed after GW1. Toying with idea of changing to Shaw or Maguire either as I think united will be more solid defensively this year.

Midfield:
Salah and Sterling are no brainers and will be captain choices.
Think De Bruyne will get a lot of assists and bonus points with the odd goal. Looks good in pre season and made some great runs in behind during the community shield.
Barkley is my punt. Think he will start number 10 for Chelsea.

Attack:
I know its not going to be a popular pick but think 8.5 for Utd first choice striker is great value. Looks the most dangerous for United in pre-season. Hes Oles favourite so can't see him being dropped but downside is he could be rotated to the wing. Think he can still score and assist from there though.
King will be on penalties and BOU have good fixtures.
Wood is my second punt. He is on fire in pre season but he could easily change to another 6.5 or 6.0 but I think all players in this range are a bit of a punt. Not too pleased with Burnley fixtures at them moment so could change. Watching Watford here for Deeney, Gray and Deulofeu. May also look to try get .5 elsewhere to upgrade to Kean if he starts firing.



Bench:
Want people who will likely see starts in case of rotation or if Barkley/Wood/King drop down pecking order.
Balbuena the choice from WH as I think he has more attacking potential than Diop and he rotates with Duffy.
Dendoncker will stay as a 4.5 starter.
Lundstrum there as 4.0 who may get gametime.



Please rip this apart so I can start again and get Kane in

It’s very easy for me to switch to sterling now if I want
Jiminez to greenwood and kdb to sterling
However
I am then gone from playing kdb and Jiminez to playing sterling and dendoncker or a 5ml midfielder every week
I don’t like it

I also won’t be captaining sterling at any point
Salah or Kane

If Dendoncker is starting for you, then something is wrong IMO.

I’ve too much money spent on 3 players !
I could bring in a 5ml defender instead of Taylor and start him instead every week
But don’t like any of them
Don’t see myself going with sterling tbh
I just won’t captain him
Too stressful

As I won't be captaining him in the first three GWs, I won't have Sterling in my team for those weeks. I will then downgrade a premium striker to get Sterling. Not many will captain Sterling in that time so a big score from him won't be too damaging.

United haven't had a striker worth money in about 6 seasons. I'd ditch him and get yourself another midfielder/defender. A Robertson is gonna outscore Rashford and give you some change.

VVD outscored TAA last year, and was only marginally outscored by Robertson. I think VVD is the best option for pool defence cover at 6.5

VVD played 10 more games than TAA and only outscored him by 23 points. If he stays fit and plays most games, I think TAA could have a monster season. I'm trying to fit both of them in now.

This will probably be my team a bit different to most I think.

(1.5 itb)

Alison ♦ (button)
◘◘◘ ♦ ◘◘◘
Coleman ♦ KWP ♦ TAA ♦ Robertson ♦ (Azpiliecueta)
◘◘◘ ♦ ◘◘◘
Fraser ♦ Bsilva ♦ Perez ♦ (Barkley-Dendoncker)
◘◘◘ ♦ ◘◘◘
Kane ♦ King ♦ Wilson

Then the rough plan is as follows -

save transfer then


*before gw3*

Wilson OUT any 4.5m striker IN

Fraser OUT Sterilng IN

Bench - King Dendonker and a.n other

Plus it has the added bonus of potential save points for Alison v Arsenal gw3
Price fluctuations will not matter because I have the .5 leeway.
Also because the bench is reasonably strong any injuries should not make too much difference - unless I get very unlucky
====
If sterling is injured or a doubt I could get Aguero in for Wilson and a 4.5 in for faser or Jorginho if there is no price fluctuations.

You probably won’t want to see the captaincy poll this week so
Or watch the Liverpool match ......
