I've gone for a Salah - Jota double up.
Really hope Firminho doesn't start!

Looking at some sites online, that (or most of it) seems to be the popular squad. A new template team arises, similar to the GW1 teamsShit decision, but pulled the trigger on the WC.
Sa (Begovic)
Rüdiger - Shaw - Reguilón (Ajer, Livramento)
Salah - Torres - Greenwood - Benrahma (Bissouma)
Calvert-Lewin - Antonio - Ronaldo
Still contemplating whether or not to include Greenwood, or change him to Jota. Also very stressed about not having TAA, but I just can't squeeze him in without total dross in most other positions.Looking at some sites online, that (or most of it) seems to be the popular squad.

Nowt wrong with that. I've had it since GW1 and it's done well. In fact I'd say gambling on Jota & Greenwood (if you can call it a gamble) is what has helped me steal a lead on my ML rivals. The trick will be knowing when to jump off.I've gone for a Salah - Jota double up.

Yeah, both look red hot. Pushing Jota, Greenwood, Torres into my team gives me a good spread across some big teams too. Just don't have a Chelsea contingent but I'm OK with that.Nowt wrong with that.

With Mount being £7.5m he's the perfect jump off for Jota/Greenwood when they start getting benched more often.Yeah, both look red hot. Pushing Jota, Greenwood, Torres into my team gives me a good spread across some big teams too. Just don't have a Chelsea contingent but I'm OK with that.
Yeah exactly.With Mount being £7.5m he's the perfect jump off for Jota/Greenwood when they start getting benched more often.
I also think Torres at £7m is worth the punt as well.
Obviously I'd never captain any of these players but their ppm should be great really if they get enough minutes.
I'm with you there. Was playing around with combo's of Salah, Lukaku and Ronaldo last night but I think it's going to come down to making a decision on which premium striker and that's not a nice decision to make with both having great fixtures. Will be waiting on those pressers for any nugget of information.Yeah exactly.
I had an iteration where I moved trent to cancelo, shifted 2 of jota/greenwood/torres down to a budget player.. Just to get Lukaku with Ronaldo up top.
But that balance felt wrong. A combination of say Torres and Jota will be better than just Lukaku. Especially with more bonus points being available for midfielders.
Good defence, ok-ish midfield, decent/good forwards.Wildcarded with the Ronaldo transfer effectively destroying poor old Bruno as an FPL asset.
Raya (Sanchez)
Rüdiger - Shaw - TAA (Dier, Livramento)
Salah - Trincao - Greenwood - Raphinha (Bissouma)
Toney - Antonio - Ronaldo
What ya saying?
Depends if you have Antonio up top if so the former.Torres’ or benhrama a better shout
Yup, I do. Took a pun on Torres.Depends if you have Antonio up top if so the former.
I'd pick Gray instead of Trincao and downgrade Sanchez to squeeze in Jimmy instead of Toney. Or even DCL or Bamford if you got 0.5-0.7 extra but else it looks goodWildcarded with the Ronaldo transfer effectively destroying poor old Bruno as an FPL asset.

Wolves fixtures look a treat and I've every faith Toney will score goals.I'd pick Gray instead of Trincao and downgrade Sanchez to squeeze in Jimmy instead of Toney. Or even DCL or Bamford if you got 0.5-0.7 extra but else it looks good
Jimmy = More safe starter. Should score more than Toney
Gray = same output or better as Trincao
Sanchez downgrade to 4.0 = don't need 2 x 4.5 goalies
Maybe someone will ask Ole in the presser before Newcastle.Time to get Ronaldo? I have to sell Bruno to get him. I think the ones on pens is the best guy to have, but how do we know who gets them?
To play devil's advocate, I'd say Trincao will be rotated after the arrival of Whang + Podence is back. Their fixtures are great, but wouldn't you want to have the main-man Jimenez instead then?Wolves fixtures look a treat and I've every faith Toney will score goals.
I like to rotate my keepers depending on the fixture and I aslo like a bench that plays.
DCL is one that giving me nightmares, him or Antonio...one will stop scoring soon.
Yeah I might hold the transfer and keep Bruno for Newcastle if we have no more news.Maybe someone will ask Ole in the presser before Newcastle.
Same idea here. I ll bench Ings and play a back four and a midfield 5 with Antonio up top and then switch Bruno and Ings out for Ronaldo and a mid price midfielder.Keeping Bruno for Newcastle could almost prove to be a differential at this rate I fancy him to do well too. Bank the transfer and maybe take a -4 to get Ronaldo in once I’ve had a look at how we do. Newcastle should get spanked but as has been said 1000 times Bruno has to go if he doesn’t have penalty goals but he could easily haul vs Newcastle in a similar fashion to the Leeds game
Salah has good fixtures. Plus he is on penalties.Tempted to take Salah out for Ronaldo and go with the Ronnie Bruno double up for Newcastle. I have my wildcard to bring Salah back in once we know who is on what as my get out of jail card.
It's a tough decision though. If Ronaldo does get pens then that pretty much ends Bruno as an option for me. He's too expensive without the pens.
And playing Leeds.Salah has good fixtures. Plus he is on penalties.
They have 3 good fixtures then things get bad, if firmino is confirmed injured for those three fixtures I think Jota is a better buy and use Salah money elsewhereSalah has good fixtures. Plus he is on penalties.
We had this discussion many times though. A premium is worth only if he is on penalties and captain option for most weeks. No point in having Bruno and Ronaldo for a combined 24.5m when you have other options who will definitely score pointsTempted to take Salah out for Ronaldo and go with the Ronnie Bruno double up for Newcastle.

Don’t go by the fixture difficulty of 4 or the “red” notification that’s on the FPL website. Look at who they are actually playing. Man city and us are the only really tough games they have coming up. You can maybe include West Ham away to that.They have 3 good fixtures then things get bad, if firmino is confirmed injured for those three fixtures I think Jota is a better buy and use Salah money elsewhere

FirstHelp. Straight up question.
After dozen combinations i have two options and please save my nerves by doing it iver and over again
Taa, Shaw, Dias, (White and Ayling)
Grealish, Traore, Greenwood, Benrahma (Gilmour)
Ronny, Lukaku, Antonio
OR
Taa, Shaw, Reguilon (Livramento, Ayling)
Traore, Raphinha, Son, Benrahma (Gilmour)
Ronny, Lukaku, Antonio
Basically it is;
Dias,Grealish and Greenwood vs Son, Raphinha and Reguilon.
With my second account i have Zidanes and Pavones.Anyone like a strong defence/attack combo?
