Perez plays higher up the pitch I believe, sort of like a second striker to Vardy? While still being classified as a midfielder.

Will he play regularly though or likely to be rotated with Vardy?

Leicester have quite a few midfielders so likely to play with 1 striker in some games, I assume?

Judging off their pre-season it seems they've employed a 4312 in the last few games since Perez signed, in which both Perez and Vardy played up top with Maddison, Tielemans and Albrighton behind.

But you're right, they have lots of midfielders. I do believe he's gonna be a starter initially though, and if he starts well he's looking like a great punt with huge upside in his cost and potential goal threat as a forward with the midfielder points.

Not sure on my team. Might not have spent enough on defense, any opinions?

Ryan
AWB-Diop-Kelly-Simpson
Mane-Sterling-Perez-Martial
Aguero-Aubameyang

Reid-Greenwood-Stekelenburg-Guendouzi

What are people's thoughts on Sterling? 12m is a lot, particularly for a midfielder. Is he worth it?

I think it's very likely that Mane will start on the bench tomorrow since he just came back from vacation. Not sure about Aguero as well. If I were you I would swap Mane and Aguero for Salah and Jimenez for example and use what's left to upgrade one of the defenders.

Think I'm set on a team. It feels very basic and almost like a first draft, but the goal is to ride the wave of good fixtures and keep options open when new stars pops up.

Pope - McGovern
TAA - Robertson - Digne - Rico - Lundstram
Sigurdsson - Fraser - Salah - Sterling - Dendoncker
Wilson - Deulofeu - Greenwood

Except for maybe Pope after GW1, I wont sub much. I am considering downgrading TAA for Van Dijk to have 0.5 extra if I was to pick up a rising star at 4.5 in defence, or upgrade Dendoncker to Nobel in midfield later on. Or Wilson to Rashford.

I'm a bit screwed if Aguero becomes a must-have, but I guess I'd sacrifice Salah or Sterling then.

Thoughts?

Alright heres my starting 11. The bench is just fodder.

Schmeichel
Stones AWB Zouma
Salah Sterling Bernardo Maddison
Jota Firmino Kean

Thoughts?
Not feeling so good about Kean up top and Maddison mid. With Luiz gone surely Zouma is going to get a lot of minutes.

Too many Utd playera tbh. Are we sure Greenwood will start?
Not really but I think he’ll get a lot of sub appearances and his value will grow. I think Martial for 7.5 is cheap as well.

Also need to get a Spurs player in there.

Liverpool fans, taa or Robertson?
Had a hard time choosing myself but in the end went for Robbo, because Trent will most likely be rotated with Gomez on the right and Robertson is a pretty much nailed on starter for the whole season. Secondly I think there has been a dip in Trent's form in the past few games. I think he will come strong later on this season but I have a feeling he won't start firing assists right from the bat.

Thoughts on my team? I tend to sacrifice positions like GK so I can spend more on attack

GK- Foster/ Heaton (do I change Foster to Patricio with the risk Wolves may struggle juggling the Europa? Like Burnley did? I also have 2 other Wolves players)

Defence- Wan Bissaka, Van Aanholt, TAA, Robertson, Aaron's

Midfield- Grealish, Moutinho, Pulisic, Tielemans, Pepe. (The lack of Mane bothers me but cant afford him at present)

Strikers- Aguero, Haller, Jota (Worried Aguero wont play much did they use him in the Charity Shield? However he is so expensive I'd rather start with him then ship him out than try to free up money to have him plus I often use him as he's fairly reliable for points)

Also feel I'm missing something by not having more City players however Pep often burns me with his rotation so I'm put off them after the Sane debacle of last year.

@Solius I really like your team! But if I was you I’d bring in King from Bournemouth instead of Jota. Better fixtures and his linkup with Frazier and Wilson will be fun to watch.
Also, a FB usually a better value than a CB so switch Maguire for AWB.
AWB looks like a bonus points jackpot this season. The man doesn’t let anybody cross him.
Great vision on the Gk!

Man, I feel like Klopp will shite on my fantasy team and start Matip ahead of Gomez. Or Gomez instead of TAA. I might take the safe route and stick to sured starters like Robertson and Van Dijk instead.

90% of ffpl players will captain Salah. Only a man with steal balls will take a risk and Captain someone else. Wilson, Frazier, Kane, Moura, Auba, Sterling, and Jlingz are other considerations.

Under a tree.
Cant decide to go with Salah or Sterling & Kane, or if all three are a must.

I dont wish injuries on anyone.... but a slight niggle that keeps them out for a few weeks and gets their price down a bit wouldn't go amiss, preferably Salah :yawn:

With Everton signing Sidibe it made my inclusion of Coleman doubtful of starting. So upgraded Coleman to Digne and downgraded Propper to Hayden.

Ryan
Digne van Dijk Robertson
Salah Fraser Sigurdsson Hayden De Bruyne
King Kane

Very happy with that to see the season off the first couple of weeks.

Mine is

Pickford (Heaton)
Robertson VVD AWB Walker-Peters (Lundstram)
Salah (C) Moura Siggurdson Martial (Drinkwater)
Kane King (Greenwood)

Can't decide whether to go with Ake or Walker-Peters.
I'm leaning towards the latter at the moment, expecting him to get a lot more game time this year.

The rest I think is pretty solid and Martial playing up top hopefully has a decent season.

Ryan (Button)
VVD -- Laporte -- Ake (Dunk) (Lundstorm)
Sterling -- KDB --- Perez --- Salah --- Dendoncker

Thanks appreciate the response. Good point about the possible rotation.
Iirc taa takes corners and free kicks?
It’s a coin flip I guess and can’t have them both.
Robertson feels like a safer choice so will probably plump for him.

I like your reliance on Brighton's goalkeeping skills!

Def: TAA, Robertson, Digne, Periera, M. Aarons
Mid: Sterling, Perez, Grealish, Felipe Anderson, R. Morrison

Might make a few changes today to get a stronger midfield.

I know this has been asked before, but has a head-to-head league been created yet? Someone mentioned starting one a few pages back.

Is Aguero going to start?
Mate even Pep probably doesn't know but what I do now is that Jesus will probably be given more time this year and Sterling has played in strike a couple of times in pre-season. I assume Aguero will start but doubt he'd play 90 minutes.

Think my team's done. No more tinkering and panic buys.

Lloris
TAA, Digne, AWB
Sterling, Sigurdsson, Salah, Barkley, Perez
Wilson, Adams

Subs: Button, Lundstram, Aarons, Greenwood

Buenos ding diddly Dias all.. To make this post is the whole reason I joined RedCafe.. It's all about the fantasy football league gents.. And things are getting serious for me and me 2 closest buddies..

They are both teaming up with me to shaft each other.. And the result is a 3man human fantasy football centipede ..

I must add though that they have come 1st and 2nd in our respective mates leagues in the last few seasons . Its time for me to do the thing I was born to do (because I'm crap at everything else in my life ).

So here I present my best team.. It's my full and final team for the upcoming season and I've made loads of changes to the original version I made..

My gk is Ederson,
I'm playing with 3 defenders who are AWB, Robertson and Newcastle's Lascelles
I have 5 good midfielders in Maddison, Perez, Kdb, Salah and Erik Lamela
I'm planning to put out 2 good fwds week in week out - Harry Lane and Jiminez..

Ederson
AWB, Robertson, Lascelles
Salah, Kdb, Maddison, Perez and Lamela
Kane Jiminez..

Opinions please.

Originally I had Sterling there, but I changed to Kdb and spent the change upgrading Josh King to Harry Kane..

You've got no premium midfielders, they're more valuable than premium strikers.

Why is Firmino on the bench? Either get rid or start him.

CHO is injured, Tierney is injured.

March and McCarthur won't get many points and they're in your starting XI?

You've also wasted money on 2 starting keepers and you've got 2 United defenders (DDG & AWB) when they're defense was awful last year and they have Chelsea first match.

Sorry mate, but this team needs a complete overhaul.
