I'm re-doing the experiment and making your team poor.
:lol: I'm giving you the cold facts.

If you want to start with Sancho, be my guest. In fact I hope everyone starts with him and Lukaku, would be nice to start with a significant head start.

Thank you.

I currently have Smith Rowe as my 5th midfielder now and have replaced JWP with Rafinha and Ihaneacho with Antonio.

I have lined up with a 3-5-2 this week with:

Sanchez
Digne, Días, Shaw
Smith-Rowe, Bruno, Salah, Rafinha, Greenwood
Toney, Antonio

I have Foster, Coufal, Watkins, and Manquillo on the bench.

The last is a 4.0 player, best I could find.

I elected to have three even strikers and figured week to week I would choose between Smith Rowe and Watkins based on opposition, fitness etc. But I could get a worse option than Smith Rowe who is 5.5, and get a better starting striker. How often can I make transfers and are there restrictions/limits? Like how important is my squad selection now?

Thoughts?

I could also get a shite midfielder at 4.5 which would get me within 0.5 of upgrading Dias to TAA in defence.
That's a very solid team now.

You're going without TAA, which is always going to raise eyebrows with some, but you've still got 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers who can just about play every game regardless of fixtures (depending on Greenwood and Watkins' minutes and position respectively).

It's also nicely flexible so you can drop one of Coufal, Smith-Rowe, Toney, Watkins and set up with a 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 3-4-3 depending on the fixtures that week.

You get 1 free transfer each gameweek and can bank them to a max of 2 transfers in one gameweek. Any additional transfers beyond that in a gameweek means -4 points.

You also get a wildcard in the first half and second half of the season, so if it goes completely tits up you can always wildcard and make unlimited transfers in a gameweek.

Those teams are so similar currently... Mine:

Sanchez
TAA Shaw Tsimikas
Salah Bruno Mahrez Greenwood Barnes
Maupay Toney

Bench: White, Ayling, Obafemi

Not happy at all with Obafemi but if I want Mahrez in there's no other option.

Baffles why so many people pick the more expensive GK’s. They’re never worth the price difference over a half decent 4.5m because they don’t get the save points.

Anybody any tips for my team? Not sure if worth trying to get Jota or Lukaku in. I've got 1 million left in the bank at present.

https://ibb.co/1GBFXzy

Feel I need a few more differentials in there as alot of my squad is made up of the more popular picks.

Edit: How do I embed my images. Is it because my account isn't privlidged enough?

Not changing any more players now!;

--------------------Schmeichel
Shaw---Maguire---Dias---Trent-A----Coufal
---------Fernandes----Grealish----Jota
-------------------Ings-----Toney
Subs;
Fabianski----Bamford---Dallas----Bissouma

Not sure if playing Bamford or Dallas is a good idea as it against us!

@Sarni You reckon Mahrez is worth the 1.0m more than Grealish?
I currently have Grealish and 1.5m in the bank.
He's going to be on penalties and perhaps free kicks for a while so I prefer him. I also expect him to play more minutes than Grealish for now, though I will probably debate swapping him for Grealish quite soon.

Bugger it, in all the years triple captain has been a chip, I have never properly profited from it so why not just throw it in game week 1. Salah vs Norwich

I looked at the fantasy scout selection and thought WOW that's brilliant, i'm very close but might nick a few of their selections.

But looking at it, they're not keeping to 100m?!

5.5 4.5========================10
7.5 5.5 5.5 5.5 4================28
12 12.5 7 6 5.5==================43
8 7.5 6.5======================22

103m?

What's going on with that?!

Was hoping Varane and Lukaku would have been included by now but for now settling with:

I like a team. A lot. BUT....Sancho will probably be on the bench, Cavani even not that, Saka is in and out player, Mendy and Dias have hell of schedule....

I want to pick Bachmann, but if Foster is first choice I am going to be really annoyed. Any info from people?

Got Sanchez and no other 4.5 I like.

Sanchez is fine to play, but if Brighton start badly like last year when I had Ryan it is going to cost by just having him.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
why would you do this?
Because most money spent on other 13 players and happy with that.

This is not a "look lads, I think these two forwards are great", this is "which of these options is best?" (one will be benched).

And despite how average they are, their fixtures are good short term and this is only a short term thing (WC early this year).

feck...Buendia is fit? Damn.

feck it, sticking with Benrahma
Who is the source of the information? Oh! Dean Smith. The same Dean Smith who last year said Grealish will be back any moment but he was actually out for a further 3 months... that Dean Smith :lol:

I just want one thing, Salah’s blank against Norwich, and Tsimikas on the bench.


In attack i am going for Martial - Richarlison

Richarlison is very tempting. Good Olympics and quality player on pens even after his olympic miss I guess. Looks like he is going to play.

I think I start with Antonio still and take him out after a few weeks.

Cavani and Lukaku will both miss the first game(s), no?

I’d try to get TAA in there and also Raphina for either Tielemans or Klich.

Does Manquillo start? Probably not.
Tsimikas very probably does for 3 weeks, and Amartey may at least start the first game. So surely if you're going 4m defender to pad it, you'd go for those over Manquillo?

Yes, but you need to be on the right 4.5m!
If you're not, it's much better to be on the more defensively secured teams.

I'm on Sanchez for eg, but you can never feel too confident with a Brighton keeper!

Yep.
Buendia now screams risk.

No idea how he'll adjust to Villa, and no idea whether he starts.

Huge red flag.

What do we think of Gray? 5.5m at Everton and should start in an attacking position.

Could be one of this year's hidden gems? Especially with their fixtures?

Can't wait for the fecking deadline. Creating your team should be fun but I'm constantly changing my mind. Think I'd forgotten how draining/all-consuming FPL can be. Haven't even started the season yet :lol:
