Fantasy Premier League 22/23

[Giggsyking]

Im starting Rashford and Sancho too and i really can't decide if its a good idea or not. Rest of the team is similar to mine too. Kane or Haaland is a big one, i tried getting both in sacrificing Sancho and Cancelo but couldn't do it.

I can exchange Sancho for Diaz but then I will have zero in the bank. I was thinking of selling one of Sancho or Rash and buying Robertson

 

[Fabian Keller]

Finished finally picking mine. Think I look decent, just don't know who to start with from..

GK: Mendy, Pope
DEF: TAA, Cancelo Dias, Robertson, James
MID: Salah, Kante, Rice, Moutinho, McGinn
FWD: Edouard, Haaland, Johnson

Wanted to put Eriksen in, but priced high at 6.5, meant squeezing in 4.5m midfielders but the options were wank.

Ahhhh, my eyes!

 

[Chief123]

thoughts?

You’ve got a virtually identical team to me except for Williams and Martinelli.

I think FPL have messed up a bit with the Leicester keepers by valuing them both at 4m. Going to see a shit load of teams with both Leciester keepers in their team. It’s a no brainer really. Both 4m and you’re guaranteed to have one of them play in a team as decent as Leicesters. They have a fairly good early run of fixtures too.

I’d go for a cheaper sub keeper. Ward from Leicester. Also Kante, Rice and McGinn are all low value players. Won’t get many points.

Get that midfield changed stat!! Kante, Rice, Moutinho worth very little in a game based around goals and assists. Also, focus more money on your eleven, rather than lose it on the bench.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Driving to Wales for a mad running race tomorrow evening, so no last min shenanigans for me.

Have 2 ideas at the moment.

Ward Iversen (gambling they don't sign another keeper)
TAA James Cancelo Tripper Williams
Salah Diaz Grealish Martinelli Andreas
Kane/Haaland, Jesus Greenwood

Option B is
Robertson instead of Williams for a power 5 at the back
Bailey instead of Diaz (this would give a difficult benching decision week 1 as would have to play 5 at the back, front 2 obvious, so 1 decent mid left benched.

Haaland has an insane run of fixtures from week 2. Kane has a superb fixture week 1. I'm certain loads who have Kane (27% to start the season) will move to Haaland unless the first week score is hugely in Kane's favour, so would have to do the transfer early knockings.#

@Dirty Schwein @Moby and the usual crew, what we thinking of these 2 options.
Rashy could be an option instead of Grealish, but with City's fixtures I'd be nervous. Think United are a sit and watch job.
Dias is a good place holder for an 8m as well as being a big threat himself, but we think Robertson will outscore him for 1m less...

https://metro.co.uk/2022/08/02/bren...cesters-no-1-goalkeeper-this-season-17112572/

Have to take that as a sign they won't go for a keeper.

I prefer option 1 due to three flexibility of jumping on players in different price brackets but I wouldn't start with the two Leicester GKs. Maybe swap Grealish to Rashy and upgrade a GK?

Although we all think Robertson will outscore Diaz all in, you can't help but wonder what Liverpool's attack might do to Fulham.

Wondering whether to leave Diaz in there, and instead ship Grealish for Rashy for

Salah - Diaz - Rashy - Martinelli
Can then either use the extra 0.5m to move Andreas to Bailley, or keep it spare in case needing Grealish or someone in.

I've had this same dilemma for the last few days. Robertson is safe option... Diaz is for those who dare... It'll go down to the wire for me.

This being on holiday malarkey really reduces the time I’d spend looking at teams so just spent an hour on it. Its a long one (insert Michael Scott catchphrase here)..

@Sandikan @Dirty Schwein @Moby @CassiusClaymore and any others.. welcome thoughts, tweaks, outright laughter, etc.

Option 1 £0.5m ITB

Meslier
James Cancelo TAA Cash Trippier

Option 6 (the Diaz/s twins)

Ramsdale
TAA Dias Robertson Cancelo
Salah Diaz Sancho Martinelli
Kane Jesus

(Walker (now Cucuracha has gone to Chelsea) and Zinchenko also possibles)

Thanks for any thoughts and ‘why’. Off to the bar

Option 6 but I would swap Dias with James as that's a risk worth taking in my opinion. It's a very flexible team and all the big hitters (except James at the moment) covered.

That was a last min rushed one and as @Sandikan pointed out, has 4 Liverpool players

So Diaz out for Madison (for some reason, I'm drawn to him... maybe preseason form)

I like 4 and 2...

6 is more sensible and balanced, but 4/5 is a lot more fun I think. 6 is definitely the secure option though with bases covered and a good player in every position.

I have done Threemium in the end because I think it you could potentially get off to a flier, and it allows me to slip in a few players l like and have some differentials in there.

6 is a great team, and it’s safe, but it’s also a team that so many have.

There is so much debate around it, but it’s so easy to fix with transfers. At the very most, you will take a -4 to undo it over a week or two.

This is an extremely bad team. 4 defensive midfield players when you shouldn't have any in FPL. Also you're wasting a crazy amount of funds on bench players, it's not necessary and puts you at a significant disadvantage compared to everyone else.

Option 6 is incorrect as you have 4 pool players as already pointed out and you can’t possibly have all those players in your team. It’s over exceeding the total budget.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Who is the best 5 or lower GK?

Currently on Pope but he does have City and Pool in the opening 6.

Ramsdale obvious choice but don't fancy the arse triple up unless I was on pornhub

Mendy the choice but Chelsea seem a bit dodgy at the back and he doesn't get saves

DDG Vs Pope probably?

Wolves have easy fixtures. Also Martinez from Villa has three very good fixtures to start with.

Roberson is tempting but I feel like you need an 8.0 mid to jump to someone else in midfield. You can easily get to 7.0 from 8.0 but not vice versa.

 

[P-Nut]

Need a 4.5 defender so I can fit Robertson and Cancelo in. Currently stuck on Guehi, but that seems a huge risk. Already have Dalot in though so no easy switch to make

Dunk? White? Ait Nouri? Johnny?

Finally set on below. Don’t know if I might go and change it again. Like the balance of it but worried about no city attacker

Ederson

Neto Martinelli Salah (C)

Yeah makes sense potentially, not sure I want any of them starting though and I'm pretty stuck at the moment.

Ward
Trippier Dalot Robertson Cancelo
Martinelli Son Salah
Jesus Kane

Iverson Ebowei Pereira Guehi

Currently have Greenwood on the pitch, but looking to move him to the bench and I think 5 atb is the only way to do it

But it's only two moves to get to it... If I can hold off GW2 then I'll have two transfers and it's easy move? I just don't trust Diaz now for some reason...

Why Haaland over Kane? Kane is best captaincy option for week 3.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Why Haaland over Kane? Kane is best captaincy option for week 3.

Because I don't want to transfer between these two constantly as other fires will need putting out I'm sure. I trust Haaland to be able to score in any game.

 

[Micky Targaryen]

Mendy - Castagne - Sancho - Neto

or

Sanchez - Reece James - Grealish - Bailey

?

Exactly the same decision I was asking about on the last page. I’ve got it on the first option right now. But I feel like Foden might be really good - Diaz might just last one week if start with him.

I also didn’t realise I have three Arsenal, that feels wrong. Three Arsenal, three Liverpool is a lot of eggs in those baskets.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Best 5/5.5 defender options? Not bench rotation.

Exactly. Think I'll go Robertson and if I want Foden or whoever, Robertson down to Perisic (I'll assess his minutes over the first two games) or Trips and Rashy up 8.0.

Just need to make sure I don't use a transfer after the first game so I avoid taking a hit.

Trippier if you have decent rotation for gw3 and 5.

Good luck! Now I need to spend the rest of the day deciding on a goalkeeper

Good luck for the new FPL season, I’m coming for the title again.

Why are you fixated on Martinelli ????

This is my draft team, i got lazy after selecting half the team and filled in the rest without thinking too much.

Any suggestions ?

[SteveCoppellFan]

We all know what is going to happen this weekend.

Those 3 players that you had in your starting 11 for ages and over the last 24 hours of tinkering you decided to remove based on other player's opinions will have BARNSTORMING STARTS IN GW1 !

 

[Cee90]

Is Perisic a trap?

 

[saivet]

Is Perisic a trap?

Question mark over whether he'll be fit enough to start apparently.
