How do you check that?Oh I was all over it! My first ever 2 digit ID!

Go to the gameweek history page and check the url.How do you check that?
Because they are essentially still wide forwards, and wide forwards have historically gone down as midfielders.Why the hell are Salah and Mane still in midfield?
The structure of the game was built around 442. They've never managed to redesign it to cater to the growth of 433 or newer formations and it's the reason wide forwards are so valuable and defensive mids are pants.Why the hell are Salah and Mane still in midfield?
They've put all wide players in midfield now, including Auba and Rashford. At least there's some consistency now but it kinda feels wrong. The game might be more fun if they were forwards.Why the hell are Salah and Mane still in midfield?
You know yourself that has a superb midfield, and absolutely dreadful attack. No bench at all leaves you a bit squeaky too.First draft:
Pope
TAA, Saiss, Dallas
Pulisic, Bruno, Salah, KDB
Maupay, Bamford, Wood
Subs: all the cheapest bargain bin fodder.
You think Bruno going to beat Martial even having dropped in form recently?First draft:

Martial not being a midfielder risks seeing him lose a lot of points.You think Bruno going to beat Martial even having dropped in form recently?
Haha I know. Likely I'll change this a million timesYou know yourself that has a superb midfield, and absolutely dreadful attack. No bench at all leaves you a bit squeaky too.
Martial points potential will drop now he's a striker. Bruno will still take pens, which is wortg the extra 1.5 on its own.You think Bruno going to beat Martial even having dropped in form recently?
He scored lots of penalties though and didn't end the season that well. I think Greenwood can match him without pens.Martial not being a midfielder risks seeing him lose a lot of points.
I think a lot of us are forgetting Rashford scored 17 in the league this year. Now he's a midfielder, his appeal surely rockets.
We think this every season in fairness.This game always allows player prices to shoot up (catering for form/output) but the resultant decrease/drop is never equal. Last season was fairly good because you could afford quite a decent team. But this season will be harder by the looks of those prices.
He will be fully on pens now too. Milner is not going to play as much I think. A fresh Salah to start the season feels very deadly.We think this every season in fairness.
And every season we think a template won't emerge, but it will. In time.
Anyone not going with Salah or Mane is brave. Salah's goal have dramatically reduced year on year, but he's still smashed 200+ points this year!
Manchester clubs not playing in week 1 is awkward, but i'd still be inclined to work around a De Bruyne, Salah and Bruno combo in midfield.He will be fully on pens now too. Milner is not going to play as much I think. A fresh Salah to start the season feels very deadly.
Ooh didn't know that. So need to build a side without City and United then and then bring in players as we go. No Wolves either then too.Manchester clubs not playing in week 1 is awkward, but i'd still be inclined to work around a De Bruyne, Salah and Bruno combo in midfield.
That would probably rule out any Pulisic style options in fairness. A couple of cheaper rotational like the West Ham 5m man.
TAA is very hard to leave out, which means to have him and the 3 premiums you're probably working off a 9m or so man being your top end and needing the other 2 a fair bit cheaper
It's not been 100% declared yet, but I'm sure there was talk of a minimum rest period after the last game - which will be at least 1 week after Sep 12th.Ooh didn't know that. So need to build a side without City and United then and then bring in players as we go. No Wolves either then too.
Need to look for fixtures too. If Arsenal or Spurs got a good run then Auba or Kane might make total sense. Werner for Martial too and see how it goes.It's not been 100% declared yet, but I'm sure there was talk of a minimum rest period after the last game - which will be at least 1 week after Sep 12th.
Probably a case of either carrying 1 player on the bench, or having a place holder like Mane or Auba to cover for one.
If we sign Sancho, I could see some rotation between him, Greenwood and Rashford. So fingers crossed.He scored lots of penalties though and didn't end the season that well. I think Greenwood can match him without pens.
We had like 14 penalties last year I think. For us who takes the penalties is a big deal, but I think it will go down this year.
Didn't find him on the injury list. Martinez at 4.5 is definitely interesting.Is Leno still out for long?
Only because it's been such a sky high record breaking total!Not sure why people are expecting us to have less penalties next season.
Rotation is pretty bad for fantasy, but our squad need it for sure. Going to be a tricky season.If we sign Sancho, I could see some rotation between him, Greenwood and Rashford. So fingers crossed.
Yeah I don’t see any reason it’ll slow down if we crack on. We still have those players. Only way it does is if we don’t play well for long stints, which is entirely possible.Only because it's been such a sky high record breaking total!
We'll still get a fair few due to the way we have pacy tricky players in the box a lot.
Gotta see the fixtures and signings first, but I'd avoid our forwards and Man City's like a plague. Except Sterling perhaps.Rotation is pretty bad for fantasy, but our squad need it for sure. Going to be a tricky season.
It always starts like this.Theres very budget options for the squad that will be sure to play.
All the 4m goalkeepers seem like bench players.
Same for defenders, there are a couple of 4.5m midfielders that will be starters. For strikers you need to go upto 5.5m to find a few that will definitely be starters. Not having cheap players to fall back on makes it even harder fitting in some of the top players
Yep those fixtures are key.Need to look for fixtures too. If Arsenal or Spurs got a good run then Auba or Kane might make total sense. Werner for Martial too and see how it goes.
Also the opponents will not play either so if it is a big club things will be tricky.
Last season there was definitely a bigger pool of players at the lowest value, especially for promoted teams. Leeds are the only teams that have a generous amount of players at the lowest prices, maybe more will be added as I can see some players are still missing.It always starts like this.
Just have to analyse those promoted teams lineups, friendly teams and injuries. Plus looking for those out of position gems.
That's how us legends got on Lundstram from game week 1 last year
But always expect to need your wildcard 4-5 weeks in, to make sure you hoover up all those quick risers.
Yeah we will see about cheap players. Kean, Adams if they start could be some guys to look at. Davies at 4.5 could start for Villa as he did in some games near the end. Although Wesley should be back.Yep those fixtures are key.
I don't like the idea of already having fixtures planned out, like say bringing City/United in for week 2 as planned, as it takes away your scope to bring in those inevitable first week hits.
There's always one or two players who start like a house on fire you need early, or they'll go up by 0.5m
You remember incorrectly. Lundstram was most definitely 4m. I didn't need to check, but did anyway, and here you goLast season there was definitely a bigger pool of players at the lowest value, especially for promoted teams.

Also, Iirc Lundstram was 4.5m not at the lowest end for a defender
Point still stands there being a bigger pool of players at the cheapest value last season that were likely startersYou remember incorrectly. Lundstram was most definitely 4m. I didn't need to check, but did anyway, and here you go

Give it a few weeks - it'll probably all open up.Point still stands there being a bigger pool of players at the cheapest value last season that were likely starters
