I wonder if Ole goes Martial Cavani Sancho. For some reason, he has more faith in Martial than I do.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Deep team so I can phase them out week by week...I have moved Buendia to Grealish for now as I reckon he's going to be more fixture proof.
I think Greenwood should be a sure starter for now... but tempted to go after Cavani for Toney, and downgrade Greenwood to Mbuemo.
Whatever about the long-run, it would be odd for Solskjaer not to at least start with Greenwood given he's one of the few (only?) first team-ish players to have a full pre-season.
Yeah you'd think Greenwood is bang on to start the season. Whether we get off to a good start or not is the bigger question. I'm sceptical.
4-4-2? 3-5-2? Please advise.
If Tammy goes to villa I’m going to have to swap Watkins for DCL or Toney
Yeah. I would need to reconsider also. Might go Beundia instead just for the first 3 and then easy swap to Harrison/Raphinha.
Thanks for the good insight guys.
I guess because I think there are not many good striker this season that I prefer to choose an extra defender.
And I remember my defenders help me get consecutive green arrows last season because I got Stones, Holding, Rudiger at the right time when all their teams get many CS.
Maybe to summarize my thought into a simple question is which one of this option that you prefer when you will start 1 and bench 1 :
Option 1 - 7.5m FWD (Watkins/Antonio/Iheanacho etc.) + 4.5 DEF (White/Veltman/Ayling etc.)
Option 2 - 5.5 FWD ( one of the Burnley / Watford FWD / etc.) + 5.5 DEF (Digne/AWB/James etc.) + extra 1m to upgrade your other player
Yep, see all of this discussion thrown up to the air when the season startThat's why I love this thread. We all talk deep tactics and thought out plans. Then we all smash that wildcard button week 2 because we want Moutinho, Pepe and Pulisic because they scored GW1
Oh wowMy fantasy name (last season) is: Gylfi pleasures… I guess I’ll need to change that now
That's a nice balanced team, the obvious exclusion of Bruno is slightly worrying...
From those two teams, it has to be the 4-4-2.4-4-2? 3-5-2? Please advise.
With Raphinha on the bench coming in for Soucek (you already have West Ham attack covered with Antonio).
I would personally go option 1. There are plenty 4.5 defenders that will play (and can do well). White, Ayling, Fofana, Coady etc. With 7.5, you have a nice pick of forwards too (as long as you transfer between them according to fixtures).Thanks for the good insight guys.

Option 2 is not bad either but I don't see any striker under 6.5 that is even worth having. If you can somehow navigate to Toney, then that's better off.

Spare cash is useful but points on the board more so. In THIS example, I think the forward differential is wider than the defender differential.
That's not to say another example may make 4 defenders better than 3. It's all about individual teams/tactics.
@Dirty Schwein will keep you right. Be wary of some poster called something like... SandyTan, SandyMan...
@Dirty Schwein @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson just out curiosity how did you guys do last year in terms of ranking?
If Grealish ends up at City, is he still a Fantasy Football assest?
Not for me. They already rotate too much for my liking. It ll only get worse if they get Jack.
Well, you also don't have to keep the extra cash as spare and can use it directly.
In my case extra 1M can help upgrade :
1. 4.5 m GK to someone better
2. My other 7.5m FWD to Bamford or DCL
3. Buendia/Raphinha to Jota/Mount/Greenwood
@Dirty Schwein will keep you right. Be wary of some poster called something like... SandyTan, SandyMan...
Btw, yes who is the resident champions here from last year?
I was thinking the same thing.
Wait and see I suppose. At that price you'd expect him to play a lot, but I'm wary of players being eased in at City.
Also even if he does play a lot, he could play deep enough that someone else is still a better option.
This is what I have so far.
Martinez
TAA White Stones Digne
Buendia Bruno Salah Greenwood
DCL Toney
Bench: Meslier Ayling Gilmour Obafemi
What do you guys think?
Two United players has me slightly worried in case we start badly so pondering whether to change Greenwood for Rapinha/Dallas and I might go for Shaw for GW2 if we start well.

Definitely prefer the second option. P.s. how do you post images on here?4-4-2? 3-5-2? Please advise.
Screen shot. Post to a image hosting site. Get the link from that website. Paste it here.
I hear that if you say his name three times in a darkened room while looking into a mirror he appears behind you and uses your wildcard to change your team to all Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Newcastle and Brighton players.1.

I've given up 
I have done like 30 different teams and now I'm into wildly insane scenarios like saving up 2.5m to easier being able to jump on Kane if he goes to City

That’s why you have the wildcard. Don’t save up £2.5m. You can always transfer him in when City’s schedule clears up after week 6.I've given up

I finished last year in the top 20k but there was a massive period in December and January where I couldn't play properly due to having a new baby and some other stuff going on. I reckon of I had been focused more in that period, I would have over-thought things and ended up lower
Ask yourself, are those upgrades worth it? Antonio for example can do just as well as DCL or probably even better (if he doesn't get injured). Raphinha will get far more minutes than Jota etc.Well, you also don't have to keep the extra cash as spare and can use it directly.

As for your second question, we had these guys turn up after the season claiming their top 1k finishes... They didn't once come in here and actually help us FPL managers who were stressing our butts off
Unreal it was. No one knew these FPL gods were in our midst til all was overAs for your second question, we had these guys turn up after the season claiming their top 1k finishes... They didn't once come in here and actually help us FPL managers who were stressing our butts off
I'd possibly like to wildcard later on than gw6 when United have great fixtures. There's a point where Chelsea's fixtures become crap and United's become great. Can't remember what exact gw but around 12-15. It's probably a Bruno/+ 2 sure starters move at that point.
Not a big fan of waiting to jump on City players neither. They usually do their business all season long, so having 1-2 performers from the beginning could be differential too.
When do you have to use the first wildcard by?
DAYUMMM. Top 20k? That’s awesome. What is your team again?I finished last year in the top 20k but there was a massive period in December and January where I couldn't play properly due to having a new baby and some other stuff going on.

Before the new year. This year, GW7 appears optimal.
I'm no guru of course but my three main rules are: Don't chase points, stick to your plan & don't keep taking hits.DAYUMMM. Top 20k? That’s awesome. What is your team again?
About 4,000,000th at Christmas (no planning (previously just done pick and leave FF comps) and didn’t realise importance of when to use chips), then learned a lot from this thread, did some planning and ended up about 70,000. Peak was about 56,000
That would probably work for my other FF team. I have done a draft where object is lowest score possible BUT you have to spend the full £100m

Lack of games for some player gives me headache. Shaw, Sancho, Cavani just started to train and first game is in 10 days. Ffs..
Week 7 is wildcard. Our crazy schedule starts and Chelsea's and City's stop
Definitely. Well Bruno is schedule proof. I might take out Shaw cause I don’t see too many clean sheets for us during that period.
I think I am going to plan a team for the first 6 weeks too, based on pre-season and those who aren’t ready.
Sanchez
TAA, Shaw, Robertson
Salah, Mahrez, Havertz, Greenwood, Buendia
Watkins, Toney
Steele, Ayling, White, Perica
I hate having a non-player on the bench but it’s the only way to get in the players I want. Two 4.5 instead of a 5 mil defender gives me two decent covers for those who won’t start.
Have tried to go for players who have had good preseasons and are ready to go with first games in mind.
Not that happy with attack, but no 7.5 really convinces me completely and feel like Toney will definitely start, so might have gone for him anyway!
Easy to change to Sancho/Grealish from Mahrez/Havertz, if they start well and will probably bring in Raphinia for Buendia and another 7.5 for Watkins before first three games are out.
No Bruno is a worry but I love the midfield combo with Robertson that I can play without him.
There will always be weaknesses and questions somewhere!

There are always swings in FDR but usually you build a team that has some balance, allows you to sub certain GWs, etc?
This season (and with the big swing for some top teams), there’s a shout to say you spend as much money as you can on your first eleven for a six week period and have the cheapest possible subs (as long as 1 or 2 will play/get two points).
Sexy midfield. Very much like mine. Mahrez scored again tonight.
Might rethink Havertz if they get Lukaku.
