Fantasy Premier League 19/20

[Shakesy]

Team so far - It'll change 101 times between now and KO I'm sure.

I need to read up on the pre season guides and get a better idea of what's what.

How do you get that graphical upcoming fixtures info?

 

[Pughnichi]

I’ve gone defence heavy this time around

Henderson
Digne, Robertson, VanDijk, Laporte, Zinchenko
Mane, Sterling, Sigursson, Tielemans
Rashford

Weak bench but hoping they want be called upon with my first team pretty much nailed on starters....Zinchenko might slip behind Mendy after recovering from injury

 

[Shakesy]

I'm beginning to think that Aguero+Kane is better than Salah+Sterling...

Am I going mad?

 

[Shakesy]

Guys and girls. Can you please let me know what the code is to join the Fantasy Football league for the CAF?

When in doubt, check out the first post in this thread.

 

[Real Madras]

When in doubt, check out the first post in this thread.

I did that buddy but it took me to another page on the thread and I still couldn’t find the code?

Sent it to you.

 

[H10]

Can someone send the code to me too?

Laporte is out for the Community Shield and it remains to be seen if he'll be fit for the opening game. Stones at 5.5m could end up being a good choice. I expect he'll start the vast majority of games this season and he is a decent threat at set pieces.

 

[Real Madras]

Sent it to you.

My man!

 

[Panther]

My provisional squad: Ederson - AWB, Periera, TAA, Robertson - Perez, Bernardo Silva, Mane - Vardy, Wilson, Wesley (Subs: Button, Aarons, Dendoncker, Ward-Prowse).

Not sure how I can improve it, will probably try to get Pepe and one of Lacazette/Auba in before the deadline.

 

[Red Company]

Game launched.

League code can be found here.

Hey I am not able to open the link for the league code.. could you share it with me please..

 

[Red Company]

It's like an automatic thing, like my team shows back in Red Cafe.

And my Twitter Premier League I reactivated and already has 40 or so players...

room for more so the code for Twitter Premier League is... aefj29

Hope you don't mind but I joined too

[Red Company]

Sent it to you.

Could you send me the code too please? Thanks!

So big decisions then

1. Are the Liverpool full backs still worth it at 7m?
2. Is it wise to go skimpy up top, or is a Kane/Aguero style big hitter needed?
3. Midfield load up, Sterling/Salah and a couple of Martial type forwards?
4. Is holding Maguire in your team to get 4 United players worth a punt, even starting v Chelsea, and Wolves?
5. Are the likes of Origi, potentially only a starter for game 1 worth it? Or go for a solid 14 squad starters early doors (plus 2nd keeper)

1. Definitely worth it. Look at their total points last season.
2. Depends on rest of your team. I've skimped.
3. Yes. Load up if you skimp on attack like I have.
4. No. No point doing that. We're not exactly City or Liverpool.
5. Get a solid first 11 plus at least one playing sub. Origi might be worth it but Firminho has already started playing so he'll likely start.

 

[Patchbeard]

Heaton
TAA Jones Lascelles
Salah Sterling Martial Zaha Maddison
Kane Origi

Bench - bunch of shite

 

[BobbyManc]

My provisional squad: Ederson - AWB, Periera, TAA, Robertson - Perez, Bernardo Silva, Mane - Vardy, Wilson, Wesley (Subs: Button, Aarons, Dendoncker, Ward-Prowse).

Not sure how I can improve it, will probably try to get Pepe and one of Lacazette/Auba in before the deadline.

Brave to not get at least one of Salah or Sterling. And not even Kane or Aguero up top to compensate. Needs looking at imo.

 

[HackeyC]

Loris
TAA Digne AWB
Sterling Antonio Zaha Moutinho
Lacazette Deulofeu Jiminez

Bench
Ryan, Pereira (Leic), Hojbjerg, Cathcart

Logic for this is driven by a week 1 bench boost. My doubts are Antonio or Felipe Anderson, Jota or Jiminez, Moutinho or Neves.

 

[Shakesy]

So... I promised myself I was going to concentrate on defense this season and try to get quality all over the pitch.

It was short-lived.

Ederson​

Van Dijk - AWB - Ake - feckin Kelly
Salah - Sterling - Fraser - Neves

Kane - Jimenez​

If feckin Kelly doesn't play then I will hope any one of feckin Simpson, Dendoncker or dearest Greenwood play. If none play (likely), then I'll be competing with 10. Teams often play better with 10, innit?

Oh, and if Ederson gets injured then I have feckin Button as backup.

 

[Theon]

Feeling very confident about this team.

Ederson
Robertson - Alexander-Arnold - Digne
Salah - Sigurdsson - De Bruyne - Perez
King - Jimenez - Deulofeu
​

Sub: Aarons, Dendoncker, Kelly

 

[Svartzonker]

Got to be too weak up front surely?

You basically only have Bournemouth strikers as greenwood will be occasional sub 1 pointers.

I don't think so. King and Wilson had a combined 26 goals and 15 assists last year. There is value in those picks and they will play every single game when fit. Greenwood is gonna be on my bench from start to finish. The idea is to spend as little as possible on the bench players.

Also note that you can pretty much count Zaha, Sterling, Salah and Martial as strikers if you look at their avarage position. Pretty much firepower in my opinion.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Do people anticipate Martial to be a regular starter this year? I want to bring him in and I have the money to do it... just feel like Sigurdsson is the better option?

Also, is Barkley gonna be a starter? He is doing ok in preseason and seems to be on pens. Might be a great shout as a 6.0 midfielder for Chelsea.

 

[ohhrooney]

Unable to see the code.

Can someone send it to me?

 

[Vidyoyo]

Ah feck Davide Brookes got injured.

New team it is then: Martial and Maddison in; Richarlison and Brookes out.

 

[Gringo]

I think Barkley will start but he'll be susceptible to being brought off. Townsend might be a good alternative.

 

[kps88]

Feeling very confident about this team.

Ederson
Robertson - Alexander-Arnold - Digne
Salah - Sigurdsson - De Bruyne - Perez
King - Jimenez - Deulofeu
​

Sub: Aarons, Dendoncker, Kelly

What position does Perez play for Leicester? Is he 100% nailed on?

 

[SteveTheRed]

Ederson
Robertson - Alexander-Arnold - Digne
Salah - Sigurdsson - De Bruyne - Perez
King - Jimenez - Deulofeu
​

Nice, I've gone a bit similar but few changes , Sterling over KDB, extra £ to get Ozil which is a gamble.

DDG​

Robertson - Periera - Digne - Diop
Salah - Sigurdsson - Sterling- Ozil

Wilson - Benteke
​

Subs: Dendoncker, Greenwood and Lundstram

 

[Keefy18]

Yeah that's a valid point re the fixtures, still with the assists the fullbacks get, they score about the same points as premium strikers (but at a fraction of the price), Robertson (7m) finished on 213 points, while Auba(11) was top striker on 205 points. And I have no doubts they would be able to assist/score against Chelsea and Arsenal.

It may come back to bite me but atm I have no premium strikers, especially as Kane is such a slow starter, I will probably try and fit him in after the first couple weeks.

Some good points.

As I say, I might try work 1 of them into the back line alright.

I think most players are without a top forward at the moment, considering Aguero but I've Sterling anyway and I think their defence will rack up plenty of points and doubled up with the keeper and Laporte.

Doesn’t actually look that bad even though you’ve squeezed three big hitters in there. Still think it’s better to have a more balanced squad. You want one or two big players for captaincy options but three probably isn’t a must.

Does look quite good though, better than I thought a Salah/Sterling/Kane team would.

 

[Heardy]

GK: Alison
Defenders: AWB van Dijk Maguire
Midfielders: Sterling B.Silva Perez Ndombele
Forwards: Kane Rashford King

Bench: Heaton Simpson Dunk Longstaff

Thoughts? Not a good idea having two united in defence?

As much as I hate to say it, bit nervous not having any of Liverpool’s front line.

Would you go with Kane and King or Firminho and Wilson (or someone else below 8m).

 

[Gringo]

That's a brave team. Liverpool are going to score a lot of goals, you need at least one of Mane/Salah/Firmino in my opinion.

I was just messing about with it at work when it was brought up in discussion if you could fit those three in.
It hinges on finding which one of the 4.5m defenders from the newly promoted teams will do best. Aarons is the only one I've actually heard of so.... Could get better if Dunk moves to Leicester.

I was settled on not having Salah at all, you can make a great looking balanced squad

Ryan
Bissaka Walker Robertson vanDijk
Sigurdsson Perez Zaha Eriksen Sterling
Firmino

Arguable you cover Salahs contributions with three other Liverpool players and a better defence but.. I'm not risking it.

Obviously all this palaver goes out the window once we know after a few weeks who's in form and whatnot and we all play wildcards

Really struggling to accommodate Liverpool’s frontline without massively cutting everywhere else.

I could replace Kane with Firminho and swap silva with a gamble on Pepe

 

[Shakesy]

Sterling and VVD or Mane and TAA?

 

[SATA]

Anyone got Pepe in their teams? 9.5 seems abit high for someone relatively untested and unknown yet in the PL

 

[Varun]

KDB + Dedoncker or Sigurdsson + King/Deulefou/Jota?

Priced too high. You can get KDB for that much ffs.

 

[Varun]

I'm beginning to think that Aguero+Kane is better than Salah+Sterling...

Am I going mad?

I'd take the later 2 for sure. Clean sheet points + extra point for goals.

Just 2 players from city and pool is a bit less imo. Those are the 2 stand out teams in the league. You want good representation there
