Was wondering how you could fit them all in but the bench is a tad weak.
I have nearly the exact same team except ive transferred out TAA and Wilson for Mings, Barnes and Ings.
And have Veltman on the bench as well who i maybe dont need, hmmm.

Is Ben Foster the number one GK at Watford?
I'll do what i do every year:
Pick "the best team ever!", then do shit the first 2 week and forget about it.
A couple months later i use wildcard, cause now i know who'll be good this season. This way i change 15 players' form for the rest of the season.
Or, atleast up to january when i can use another wildcard and change 15 other players' form for a while.
Then say feck fantasy football, i'll never play it again.
Do the same next year

Yep, first game I remember, good one to start with!Not bad. Sara is an option for me, just wish he played for a half decent side.
Nice tag name. 77 cup final?
Is expected that Bachmann will start however no-one knows, not even Foster.
He was on this FPL channel yesterday saying that:
If you're picking him I would have another keeper who will definitley start in as well.
Cheers mate
My (current) final lineup, but no doubt there will be a tweak later on. I've gone pretty much all in on the first XI - I might tweak that to give at least one stronger bench option - currently Bissouma - low(ish) scorer but a regular player so shouldn't be hit with a zero. I'll probably give them a week or three and then debate a reshuffle.
Sanchez
TAA - Shaw - Targett
Bruno - Salah - Raphinha - Greenwood
Antonio - Ings - Toney

I'm undecided between these two options, basically Greenwood & Watkins or Sancho & Obafemi, the second option leaves cash to get Lukaku in for Vardy, but I'd have to play 442

You get 1 free transfer every week. If you don't use it then it carries over and you have 2 the week after. You can never have more that 2 though, so you'd have to make a transfer at that point or it will go to waste. If you have no free transfers left in a week you can still make as many extra transfers as you like but each one will cost you -4 points, so best to do that sparingly. But basically it means you can make a change every week for free, so your team doesn't have to be perfect from the start.
Your team is perfectly fine as is though and all your picks are ones I've seen top FPL managers argue for. You have a nice mix of shorter and longer term picks too.
If it was me though, I'd make the TAA change as nearly all the better managers are starting with him and there's no need to expose yourself to the risk that they're right. If it was me I'd probably look at swapping Dias + Coufal + ESR to TAA + a 4.5 defender (maybe someone like Ben White, Ayling from Leeds, or Veltman from Brighton) + a 4.5 midfielder (Gilmour). It might look like you're downgrading a lot with those moves but the reality is that two of those players will be on your bench every week, so they're just there to act as cover. You would then have a strong first choice 11 to start every week and can focus your transfers on them week after week.
Edit: Also you haven't mentioned it but I'd captain Salah and vice-captain Bruno this week.

Lukaku is 20th in all time list of EPL goals with 113. I’d call that success I’m going to leave out a couple of weeks while he re adjusts to English game.
Didnt Ole say that Sancho has only had 1.5 training session.
He'll not start the season wil lhe.
The Greenwood team for me. He's played all of pre-season.
Im not worried about Lukaku yet myself. He'll not play tomorrow (I think). Can get him in, in a few weeks when the dust settles.
Chelsea fans… is lukaku expected to start against palace?
Any chance Martial starts?
Seems like almost every fpl player has Ings in their teams
Ok so this is my new new team - i think im done now. Thanks for your suggestions x
Ederson
AWB - Dunk - Cresswell - Dias
Fernandes - Salah - Barnes - Souceck
Ings - Toney
Bench
Guaita
Dallas
Coady
Vydra
Ok, so this is final. Feels really template, but that's ok.

Ownership is actually around 36% so not "everybody" but definitely fairly high. Having said that Bruno is around 50% and Shaw is nearly 55% and the most well owned player.
Buendia being passed fit is a big help for Ings.
One last question, who do i captain Fernandes, one of the strikers or Salah??
Schemichel, Sanchez,
White, Ayling, Dunk, TAA, Tsimikas,
Gundogan, Sterling, Dallas, Grealish, Mbuemo
Toney, Kane, Pukki
Looking for a goalfest between City and Spurs.
I'll leave it like that for a while and see how we are getting on, I might have to take out one of the City players if Kane goes there. Deal with that if it happens.

Will Daka play regularly for Leicester?
Just panicked and got rid of DCL and Havertz to fund Salah. If FPL has taught me anything over the past 4 years it is to have Salah.
It's a pain int he arse because he costs so much but he always gets points. Plus he's had a long rest.
Not yet. He'll probably be used to come in for Vardy
Throughout preseason Salah has yet to get a goal or assist and has been very wastefull .........,having said that...he rather than Bruno is in my side :-)
Sorry but this is a very daft team. Your captain won't play, your VC hasn't played a competitive game for almost a year, Sancho isn't up to speed either. That's more than 1/4 of the budget thrown out of the window.I know Lukaku won't play in the first round of matches. Probably not Sancho either. So I might take one of them out tomorrow if I can be bothered. But I'm happy enough with that bench even if I don't. I just wanted to make sure my first choice XI added up to £100m before I start tinkering with temporary ins and outs.
Other than White, every single one of my outfield players is known for their end product. And the case for White is that he cost big money in real life. So he's bound to rack up appearance points even if he doesn't perform well for Arteta.
You need to consider yourself very lucky if the template teams with Salah(c), Bruno, Antonio etc. don't find themselves 30+ ahead of you after GW1.
Is a son a must have ? Considering he’ll play play up front.
Is VVD fit?
He's not my type personally.
Struggling here 
Wanting to fit Bruno, Sancho and Salah in my team and also have a decent strikeforce and defence.
Currently have:
Schmeichel
Coufal - Stones - Shaw
Bruno - Buendia - Salah - Sancho
Toney - Ings - Wood
Subs: Foster, Tsimikas, Livramento, Brownhill

Don't overcomplicate it. Greenwood has minutes in his legs and is the form player, get him. Sancho can wait.Struggling here

I want to be able to just one swap the players out though, because I might want Lukaku after a few weeks. If I've got Greenwood I can't straight swap him. Would have to transfer two players.
Greenwood and Jota both at 7.5m represent value but unsure which to move for. Jota I like his fixtures and his directness really puts him in great stead but unsure if hel start. Greenwood though might be more passive but scores out of nowhere.
Not actually a bad team. Sancho won't play the first game though so maybe have Grealish/Greenwood go in first and then bring him in after.Struggling here

Wood is a gutsy differential but I'd probably transfer him out for a similar level but slightly better striker (e.g. DCL/Bamford/Antonio).
I advise downgrading Schmikes > Sanchez if you're struggling for funds.

Landed on this team. 0.5 in the bank to shift out Amartey or move to Cavani
Sanchez
Amartey - TAA - Shaw - Tsimikas
Salah - Bruno - Raphinha - Son
Ings - Antonio
Subs:Ayling, Brownhill, 4,5 fw, 4.0gk
Really had a long thought about this team and a lot of moves are possible. Thought of Torres for Raphinha for first two gw's but not sure i'll be happy to make cover up transfers. Easier toxhave 0.5 itb and move in round 2. Say Bamford for Antonio too

Happy with the flexibility and decided on Barnes, Cresswell over a 4.5 and Ings. Any changes?

You can't straight swap Sancho to Lukaku either, they're different positions.
It's so illogical to start the season with premium players who aren't up to speed and probably won't get many minutes. Complete waste of resources.
I'm re-doing the experiment and making your team poor.
My team, what do we reckon
