Bit early for a wildcard innit for the sake of a few points? you want to save that till the City/United/Villa and Burnley?? players have a double gameweek which surely they must in the first-half of the season. or use your free-hit.
There is a lot we do not know yet. Such a crazy season. So I plan to use it to fix my squad early on.
90 minutes before kick off of first match...
If you're comfortable using it so early in the season, use it, i'd just be fearful using it so early in case you get a run of injuries and you need to take a -16/20 point hit just to get a competitive team on the pitch before the January wildcard kicks in.
Depends on what formation you're going to use, I suppose. Are you planning on playing 3 forwards? I'd dump Calvert-Lewin myself. Knock him down to a 5.5 and you could get a Van Dijk in.
You got a very strong bench, but use up funds that can be used on your starters.
I'd lose Ziyech(not proven) or Barnes(not a regular starter) and get a steady Eddie like Ward-Prowse who will play every minute and score well for assists in midfield to get TAA or Virgil in, and swap Calvin-Lewin out after the first gameweek to get somebody like Brewster a natural goalscorer who will almost certainly get a Premier League move to get a second upgrade in defence, or get a better goalie.
No Liverpool or Manchester City players is a big risk. I would prefer atleast 2 from those teams in midfield and 1 in defense.
Ok thanks - haven’t got a clue where to start this time round.
Start with TAA.
Planning to switch between 343 and 352. Want to have one of Arnold or Robertson - difficult without jeopardising the overall team balance.
Took Justin only because he is a cheap option and felt he would start the matches.
Thanks, man!!!
There is anti fantasy when you should get as low points as possible. Although the guys need to play so not sure he is great in that one as long as Bruno is fit.
It's one of them innit re. your squad, you ask 100 people and they'd all give you a different answer.
I once entered a squad with the cheapest players I could sign knowing most of them would probably never get on to the pitch, and I still got 450 points!
I presume you're going 3-5-2 with that squad?
Yup, depending on fixtures 4-5-1
I'm not fully convinced on Liverpool's opening 8 fixtures to go double defence. I think there's easy 4 games in that run they may concede. Probably still win most of them but it's a lot of money on the defence when the fixtures arent great.
Start with the 3-5 players that you DEFINITELY want - don't think past that to begin with.
Would be a strange one. It's different if it's say McTominay last year, who was probably about 4.5m at the start of the season, and acts as a facilitator, but Lingard is probably a price you'd need a return from
Some managers think at a different level than us. Pogba out with the virus might give Lingard minutes. Scored in his last game last season.
I still think Pogba will play by the time of the 19th myself. But there are some serious pros at this game.
Thanks guys xStart with the 3-5 players that you DEFINITELY want - don't think past that to begin with.
After you've settled on that, start to fill in the other players and your team will begin to take shape.
Don't overthink it, just 3-5 players that you know you want.
It is hard to go your own way though. Since you need good value too. If it goes wrong betting against the flow it hurts you twice.
The major difficulty this year is those 2 Manchester clubs not playing week 1. Especially when Burnley - who many would use a defender from, aren't playing either.
That is why I am thinking about using an early wildcard. I don't think we will see insane value in defense. Unless say Leeds or West Brom turn into a defensive force.
Pick those absolute big hitters, then auto select the rest for now
You have 4 Tottenham players, but your first transfer has to be a Tottenham player out.
Ok. Thanks
Do you really want 4 Spurs player in your side?
