Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Ok this is my final draft. Last minute changes can just make it worse.

I might check news just to see if Toney is out, but I think I just stick with the team even if he is for one week.

Sanchez Bachmann
White Shaw TAA Tsimikas Reguilon
Barnes Raphinha Brownhill Salah Bruno
Ings Antonio Toney
Who you benching?

Any opinions on last minute changes?


Is it sensible to have two defenders from the same team? I'm a FPL casual so I don't know.

Also, there's such a derth of 'guaranteed' strikers. I'd have definitely found a way to get Lukaku in if he'd been starting the first match.
That looks superb on the basis of the massive Bruno risk.
But shows how really strong you can get the lineup.
Although you have a disgusting benching issue.

I'm off to see a few friends. The drive is about an hour long. I specifically planned it this way so I'm not going to be tinkering with my team until 6.29pm :lol:

See y'all back here soon and look forward to reading all the regretting and ranting :lol:

Good luck everyone!
Imagine having real life friends!!

@Dirty Schwein Rapinha is called up for the Brazil squad for games in September. If this is confirmed he might miss GW 4 due to quarantine rules. Just saw this on Twitter. If that’s the case I ll go with Buendia from the start.
The sort of last min curve ball this game is famous for

Anyone else feel the classification of wide forwards like Greenwood, Rashford and Salah as midfielders is a bit wrong?

So if I have 3 city players & Kane, then Kane goes to city. What happens?
I've done this too. Feck it, if he goes there, I won't make a sub all season.

I’ve gone for

schmeichel begovic
Pereira, tsimikas, white, Bertrand, fredericks might switch for VVD
Bruno, mason, Salah, smith Rowe, soucek,
Antonio, martial, Toney

martial should start the season, thinking VVD because they a handy start.

I don’t think Arsenal have “destroyed” anyone in a long time.
:lol:

I just have a feeling they’ll start well like last year and everyone will be raving about Lego pep and then they’ll turn into the usual farce and then pick up again to finish 7th or 8th

Gonna go with Toney. He’s been in every draft so if he hauls I’ll cry. I like him and it’d be funny if they beat them. Makes the match more interesting from a neutral perspective. If I was betting I’d be betting on Arsenal to win though.

Pick 2 from Coufal, Tsim and Raph to start?

Seems risky to bench Raph, even though he's at our place.

Forget the BB (which I'm also doing), no Salah against Norwich is what would have me sweating.
I don’t really learn from my mistakes, I did the same last year and was trailing 40 points from day 1.

Ah, had this. Figured the only way to fix it was to choose either the Salah path or the Bruno path. :lol:

He’ll be listed as a Spurs player until you swap for him as a city player won’t he.
According to other posts, if he goes and you have 4 City players. You can keep the 4 but you can't make another transfer without getting rid of one of them.

PENS DOWN ALL.

Last min Tsim in, thinking if you're not going to use him v Norwich it's a waste....even with TAA in there too.

After all that, it's unbelievable how much I dislike my team. Oh well.

Decided to take out Salah last minute. I know i'll regret this but just felt that I needed more differentials and at 5 million cheaper, I feel Jota is much butter value.

So swapped out Salah and Mbeuno, and brought in Jota and Son.

Son has had a great pre season, been playing further forward and will have alot of drive (amongst the rest of the team) to beat city this weekend. Then after the city game they have 3 easier fixtures.

Also promoted Bruno to my captain now. Most matches involving Leeds last season tended to be high goalscoring affairs. And generally goals for us tend to involve Bruno most of the time.

Let's hope the gamble pays off

City got tricky games though apart from the Norwich one.

There is no obvious City pick for value or explosivness.

They got Foden, Grealish, Gundogan, KDB, Torres, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus who could all do well.
Right now it is hard to know who will standout from them.
City are a fixture proof side IMO.

I did something similar (except with Mahrez and Jota) and added a bench boost! Watch Jota not start, Salah bag a brace and me hitting the wildcard one game in!

Only a game though, that seems to get lost in the panic!

Pretty sure Brentford will give Arsenal a good game. If they are to score, it’s highly likely Toney will be involved too.

I don’t have Toney myself but he’s certainly on my watchlist.
