Who's your lone striker mate?
Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Martinez
TAA Doherty Tierney KWP
Auba Salah Son ASM Soucek
Werner
Nyland, Dallas, Brewster, Davis.
Enough funds to upgrade Son to Bruno for gw2 who i believe will continue getting returns
Is Mitchell a starter? I see him in many teams.
Will change another dozen times before Saturday but I'm currently on:
Ryan
TAA Doherty Tierney KWP
Salah Auba Son Fraser
Vardy Adams
Bench: Nyland, Mitchell, Brewster, Bissouma.
Hoping Brewster gets a move to Palace or Sheff U, would represent incredible value at £4.5m.
Fraser and Adams are probably the weak links there. No idea how Fraser will start for a poor Newcastle side, although they've made some good signings this week so could surprise a few people.
Saints fans seem to think Adams will start with Ings up top in a 442, and I thought he looked impressive after the restart.
edit- and no fecking idea what i'll do to get city/united players in. Maybe vardy for martial after gw2, kdb for one of salah or auba after gw3...?

He may be - van Aanholt has been injured, but won't be out for long. Mitchell could start first few games but isn't a great long term option.
Ferguson, the other Palace fullback at 4.0 is a better long term option, many Palace fans believe he will eventually take Ward's place - but he's injured and not available for season start.
Do we think Fabio Silva will get much playing time at Wolves? Coming on as sub for Jimenez? Hes 5.5 so quite cheap. Portuguese journs rate him and said he's similar in style to Firmino.
Also Ben White at Brighton, leeds really wanted to sign him but Brighton wanted to keep him. I think he will get playing time at brighton and hes an outsider for the England squad at the Euros. 4.5 mil is cheap.

Maybe I'll get Ward then until that switch happens with Ferguson.
Ben White worth keeping an eye on. But Lamptey if starting (most likely) is who I would pick with his attacking potential
Ampadu. Don't see where he is going to play.
I have Dallas, tell me a little about Mitchell please.
Stand in for van Arnholt who was out with a dislocated shoulder, has played all pre-season games so far. vA could return though, he’s already training.
I’ve purposely only started building my team tonight, as I knew I’d just spend ages changing players for the sake of it.
It’s a bit of a nightmare with that gap in the first week isn’t it. Can’t believe I might end up without any City or Liverpool attackers though, Auba is taking up my usual KDB slot.

Hmm, fair enough. He's a 4.5m player I might see how it goes but hope it doesn't bite me in the arse.
What would you guys do in a long term play - Salah or Martial + James Rodriguez (or any 7.5m player).
Yeah -4 seems okay to me to get a squad that attacking-wise could look solid for many weeks to come. Then shoe-horning cheap playing defenders and finding the new Cantwell will be the difficult part.
Mitchell will be starting, no? hasn't he played a lot pre season with Van Aanholt out?
Just messing about. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, City, Utd covered.

Salah's ownership keeps dropping every hour. Anyone know the reason for that?
There's better value to be found this season I reckon. He got a great points tally last season and Liverpool walked the league. I think it's a closer race this season and some FPL players may reflect this (like me, hah).
Genuinely, I think Martial + James Rodriguez (or Greenwood) should be capable of more than Salah + a 4.5m bench striker.
James should be good for around 7 goals and a couple assists, or Greenwood should be good for around 10 league goals. If Martial hits 20, that's already more than what Salah is likely to achieve.
Last year sure - it was their year and they were stars. But now you have Ziyech/Havertz/Bruno/Aubameyang all as sudden midfield options. Salah for 12m doesn't represent as much value for me.
I’m never happy with my team for the first few weeks. This season is even worse with the lack of games in the first GW.
Currently ‘settled’ on
Ryan/Walton
Robertson/Doherty/Bednarek/Bernardo/Branthwaite
Rodriguez/Willian/Salah/Havertz/de Bruyne
Brewster/Mitrovic/Richalison
feedback welcome obviously but that front line makes me feel a bit sick
GW2 will most likely see KdB come in for Brewster and maybe a transfer of Salah for Fernandes to leave me with a bit of extra cash

Yeah, similar team. Looks decent mate.
I'm doing a draft tomorrow, theres hardly many strikers worthy after the first 8 or so.
Anyone have any decent strategies?

Dunno, it’s pretty bold. He’s a selfish cnut and also likely to be on pens, and if they get off to a flying start we could be talking a lot of points.
Maybe try to save players you think others will avoid and take players you think others will rate too.
I think the new Chelsea guys will go fast and early.
Pool defense fairly early too I think.
Which team do people prefer:
Mccarthy
TAA, Webster, KWP
Salah, Son, ASM, Aubamayang
Mitrovic, Antonio, Werner
Subs: Nyland, Taylor, Dallas, Reed
or
Mccarthy
TAA, Coady, KWP
Salah, Son, Soucek, Aubamayang
Mitrovic, Wilson, Werner
Subs: Nyland, Taylor, Dallas, Reed
I will bring in KDB and Bruno for Son and Auba after GW2 so don't want to feck around with cheap defenders like Vinagre or Justin who might not be in the starting 11 and start screwing my team value...
I'm leaning towards team 2 as Coady gives me options as he's not 4.5. But I'm worried Wilson will troll like he tends to do...

Team 2 Schwein
Thanks... that's where my head's at. It's just Wilson, the cnut gives me PTSD from costing me two seasons in a row
I guess I'll just bite the bullet.
I'd be tempted by Che Adams. 4 goals and 4 assists in 1000minutesThanks... that's where my head's at. It's just Wilson, the cnut gives me PTSD from costing me two seasons in a row
I guess I'll just bite the bullet.
I did consider that but with Mccarthy and KWP, I don't want to triple up on them.
Mccarthy has to stay as I believe he's the better of the 4.5 GKs with better fixtures. KWP stays simply because with Vinagre and Justin not being so certain, he's only other good 4.5 defender alongside Dallas, who I have.
Why is no one mentioning Oskar Buur at Wolves? He’s the only senior RWB currently at the club and only worth 4 million.
What is the Pin to enter?
Defense is tricky now. I am thinking about paying a bit extra for a 4 man defense. Then wildcard and put in the cheaper gems that will emerge and start.
Gomez plus Doherty vs Davies plus Van Dijk?
Never heard of him and he's played zero minutes so far...
Most likely Wolves will play Traore at RWB.
Can’t decide between having Salah, or going with James (who I think will be great) and upgrading from a AWB to Robertson and from Antonio to Werner
Basically
AWB + Salah + Antonio
or
Robertson + Rodriguez + Werner
Writing it out like that, I think I like option 2 more, but losing a Salah/KdB hurts! Feels like a change to Martial/Ziyech could be done without too much hassle after first game or two.

It’s threadmarked I think.
@Red Company
GK: Matt Ryan
Gabriel.....Tierney......Chilwell
Ziyech.....Salah....Saka.....Son...
Martial.....Werner.....Jimenez
Subs - Nathan Ferguson 4m
Oliver Burke 4.5m
Tyrick Mitchell 4m
Still working on the first 11 yet though so will be making changes in the next day or two. United don't play in game week 1 so might have to take Martial out.

56% have TAA.
Am I commiting FPL suicide by not choosing him?

Gabriel & Tierney both Arsenal players.. huge risk imo.. I’d keep Tierney since being a fullback he can give assists too but Gabriel can be replaced with another player from another team.. also Chilwell is still injured no?
Basically suggesting reviewing your defence but otherwise your team is solid! Well balanced too.. I almost can’t believe you have all those players in there together!
I'm still in the process of tweaking things. But will look to remove Gabriel possibly and I'm gonna see if I can fit William Saliba on my bench because he's valued at 4.5m.
I have the same question, I have Robertson and Van Dijk, when I could have Ward and Trent. I'm not sure.
I currently have Doherty Mitchell and Three 4.5 defenders.
