Their fixtures look fantastic early on, and they are a good team. I'm thinking Watkins, Buendia, and Targett.Triple Villa (Martinez, Grealish, Watkins) bad idea from the off? Might shift Watkins out, he seemed like a nightmare to own last year.
That could be a good shout about the mid table strikers. Which ones is the question.. I like Toney but I’m planning to give him a few weeks and see if he’s a handful in this league. Could just be another Mitrovic but I fancy Brentford to get in the players to stay up. Their recruitment seems to be ahead of the curve. Rico Henry at left back might be another one to keep on the shortlist.Think the mid-table stikers will be better bets than the likes of Cavani and Werner this year. Have you seen Liverpool's fixtures?
Watkins, Antonio, Wilson, Ings, Calvert-Lewin, Bamford. Thing is they were all very good last season, so they are relatively expensive now. It is them or 12.5m Kane anyway since strikers in the other price points are all unconvincing.That could be a good shout about the mid table strikers. Which ones is the question..

Liverpool have a nice start?
Don't like the midfield. Think you have to have Salah in there. He's just too good.I went
Mendy (expensive but it is Chelsea's defence). Sanchez
Shaw, Dias and Taa plus Lamptey and Ayling
Bruno, Grealish, Smith, Bissouma and Dallas
Kane, Pukki and Watkins
I am going for clean sheets with big four in defence
I agree. But how?? . Inflation is insane this year. Only if i throw out Kane. Which i will not. Butthere is enough time to mix it up. I will find space i hope.Don't like the midfield. Think you have to have Salah in there. He's just too good.
Ah makes sense, ta.It will be available after GW1 deadline.
Yep. Working for me anywayIs this up on the app yet because mine hasn’t updated
Don't keep us in suspense mate.Found that quite easy to pick a team and still have money to spare, none of the big hitters are worth the money so was easy to pick a team with lesser names who will score just as many
Rudiger, Smith-Rowe and Mitchell.Don't keep us in suspense mate.
Which cheaper players are going to match Kane, Salah and Bruno points wise?
I actually do have two of them in my teamDon't keep us in suspense mate.

You expect Mitchell and Smith in first 11?Rudiger, Smith-Rowe and Mitchell.
If you were around this thread at the back end of last season, my message would have made more sense to you.You expect Mitchell and Smith in first 11?

My rival neatly caught up my 50 point lead in the last couple of weeks because the three idiots I mentioned kept smashing it for him whilst the sensible picks I had did sweet feck all.I was
Remember when Brewster was going to be a fantastic own at 4.5m if he got a Premier League move?My first attempt...
Sanchez / 4.0gk
TAA / James / Digne / White / B.Williams
Salah / Bruno / Trossard / Smith Rowe / Raphinha
DCL / Watkins / Toney
No City and No Spurs (and triple Brighton ) so I probably need to go back to the drawing board.
Brandon Williams might go out and loan but he's an absolute yellow card magnet so probably a terrible FPL asset.
Yeah it's a first attempt, it will defs change. There are plenty of good value 4.5m defenders anyway, so unless there looks to be a nailed on 4m option closer to season start, that's the way to go.Remember when Brewster was going to be a fantastic own at 4.5m if he got a Premier League move?
You are probably going to be making plenty of changes to that team anyway, but the point is getting a Premier League move does not guarantee he would be good. If he doesn't make a move, then he will block a precious Manchester United spot also.
Cavani and Greenwood probably depends on who we sign and who is fit at the start of the season. We will have Rashford, Martial, Pogba and potentially Sancho vying for three places with them. Looks like a wait and see on that one.First thoughts are on getting DCL, Watkins, Grealish, Cavani, Greenwood and a double up with TAA Robertson and Salah with their fixtures in mind
Cavani will start a lot but not every game. If we sign Sancho, Greenwood will rarely start. Greenwood is a huge riskCavani and Greenwood probably depends on who we sign and who is fit at the start of the season.

Damn...except Greenwood this looks pretty good
First draft - Yeah Greenwood could be a risk, but he's often better coming off from the bench. Cavani's a starter now I think. He's shown so much, and has gotten plenty of risk + takes care of his body. I see him starting the first 3-4 at least
Teams lit brudda.First draft:
Sanchez
TAA, Coufal, Coady
Salah, Grealish, Bruno, Raphinha
DCL, Iheanacho, Toney
Subs: Foster, Fofana, White, Bissouma
Obviously will make changes but I'm already quite happy with that!
And Cancelo on the bench is for gw2Damn...except Greenwood this looks pretty good
You need one more elite player - KDB, Bruno, Kane etc.

Going with just Salah and TAA definitely looks attractive although it is early days. The problem with spreading the cash is what if De Bruyne, Fernandes and Kane for example get off to flying starts, then there would be no easy way to bring them in.I might try and leave £1m in the bank at the start this season to allow more flexibility with any early bandwagons.
That's certainly achievable with only one premium and the funds well spread across the rest of the squad.
Sanchez / Foster
TAA / Shaw / James / Fofana / Coady
Salah / Grealish / Greenwood / Sarr / Raphinha
Antonio / Watkins / Iheanacho
