Guys I can’t seem to find the code for the league, if it has been posted. Kindly share it please
He was almost invisible. Had one shot where Mata looked disappointed that he didn’t play him back in. Played all across the front. Didn’t press. Taken off at half time. First game back so I’m not reading too much into it but I want to see him steaming into teams for preseason if he’s going to make my fpl. Too many good players who should play nearly every game for 7.5. Mason has competition here and he’s been a slow starter each season.Aaah how did Greenwood looked. Missed the game. Been out to travel with friends a bit.
I think it is first friendly so should not judge too much. We have more friendlies to see.
We will see how Cavani looks. I am thinking about maybe going without Bruno for better balance, but want one attacker from us.He was almost invisible.

I've renewed last year's RedCafe League.
Here's the code:

This is in addition to the main one as people said there were too many dead accounts.

Who are your subs? All dross?So far I've arrived at a skewed formation.
Sanchez
Digne-Shaw-Robertson-TAA-Williams
Bruno-Salah
Cavani-DCL-Watkins
Might be unbalanced, but 10 great players in there
Williams? Brandon Williams?So far I've arrived at a skewed formation.

You might be able to, but if not you can always auto select your side and then change it before the season starts.Can you join/do a team later or do you have to have picked one before you can enter a league?
Bit harsh to pick on Salah.So far I've arrived at a skewed formation.
Sanchez
Digne-Shaw-Robertson-TAA-Williams

I think I would downgrade Robertson and maybe a striker and add another midfielder with some quality and upgrade Brandon Williams unless he gets a loan.So far I've arrived at a skewed formation.

Looks a bit whack tbh, Watkins and DCL are very streaky and Cavani wont play every game, i'd consolidate them into Kane.So far I've arrived at a skewed formation.

I'd be very surprised if Cancelo and Cavani match Robertson and Bruno for points. I think you're kidding yourself a bit there. Robertson & Bruno is 400 point player combination if they play a full season.I have two interesting sides. Which one do you guys like the most?
Sanchez Bachmann
Digne Shaw Cancelo TAA Coufal
Salah Bruno Raphinha Smith Rowe Brownhill
Watkins Welbeck Toney
Or this side.
Martinez Sanchez
Digne Robertson TAA Shaw Coufal
Brownhill Salah Grealish Raphinha Smith Rowe
Cavani Welbeck DCL
So the difference is Martinez vs Bachmann, Robertson vs Cancelo then Cavani/Grealish vs Watkins and Bruno. Then DCL vs Toney.
I think Cancelo and Cavani can potentially match Robertson and Bruno, but the rotation might be bad for them both.
Watkins vs Grealish hard to call. Two strong keepers can be annoying that I have to bench one every week, but if there is Covid I am covered.
DCL feels like a good pick potentially, but I mainly have him for fixtures. Toney not fully proven. Could go Nacho instead or even Wilson.
Actually Cancelo had higher points per match than Robertson last season. Problem is Liverpool got better fixtures to start with.I'd be very surprised if Cancelo and Cavani match Robertson and Bruno for points. I think you're kidding yourself a bit there.

* Unles you mean Bruno & Cancelo v Robertson & Cavani which isn't as clear cut.
I am doing that this year for sure. Is it better to play head to head or overall?Tried it for the first time last season. Enjoyed it as I did it with 3 of my friends.
It’s basically like a proper draft system where only one team can have each player. So only one of us can have Bruno, one of us can get Salah etc etc.
That stat doesn't really mean anything though unless you can accurately predict what matches he will play.Actually Cancelo had higher points per match than Robertson last season. Problem is Liverpool got better fixtures to start with.
I think when Cavani plays he is the most likely guy to score from open play for us. Bruno got pens and higher assist potential and good for bonus, but if Cavani gets a run in the game I think he can match Bruno before CL and rotation starts.
What is the biggest problem with Cavani is that when he do not start he will come from the bench and block your bench player. Same with Jota, Greenwood,Foden etc.
I just have a feeling Cavani will start strong this time with a pre season and having Sancho, Bruno etc feeding him. I might go Sancho though if he is 9-10 and not more.
What it says though is that when Walker or Zinchencho starts they normally do not bring on Cancelo for them.That stat doesn't really mean anything though unless you can accurately predict what matches he will play.
Agree about Cavani and I really think he'll score a fair few this season but like you say he'll also get a lot of 1 pointers as well. I just think there are too many strikers at that price point and lower who are nailed to take the risk.
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/rulesI've never done this before so is there anywhere I can find some sort of explanation?
At Kane's price you are basically looking at best at something like Kane + Toney + fodder. I'm not sure that's better than having 3 reliable strikers. I'd swap Cavani for someone cheaper though and upgrade Williams or get a mid. Kane at 12.5m has to score 35+ goals this season to be worth it IMO (or get like 30+10).Looks a bit whack tbh, Watkins and DCL are very streaky and Cavani wont play every game, i'd consolidate them into Kane.
Don't forget captaincy. Kane offers that, none of the other strikers do.At Kane's price you are basically looking at best at something like Kane + Toney + fodder.

Funny you should say that, I saw someone put the highest scoring player for every week up on Twitter the other day and there were hardly any strikers in there at all. Mostly mids and quite a few defenders. I'm not actually sure that Kane was in there either which surprised me.Don't forget captaincy. Kane offers that, none of the other strikers do.
To be fair to Kane he exploded like crazy some games. Southampton, West Ham, Crystal Palace.Funny you should say that, I saw someone put the highest scoring player for every week up on Twitter the other day and there were hardly any strikers in there at all.

Can't find it now but it was interesting reading.
Thanks!
Nice team!Thanks!
I've made:
Sanchez
Shaw Coady Holding
Fernandes Tielemans Mount Grealish
Wood Cavani Kane
How do i join Redcafes league?
That is a nice team, take salah out and you can do a lot. He nearly gets as many points as two players though so it’s riskyThanks!

Si, si. I think he'll be loaned to Soton and play regularly all season. Could use a 4.5 midfielder instead.Williams? Brandon Williams?
I'm with you.I think the strategy this year is to have two premiums and rotate who you got based on form and fixtures.
3 feels a bit much.
Is Konate a starter?I'm with you.
First draft. Thoughts? (especially @Sandikan as I know he won't hold back)
Read some very good pieces on avoiding too many transfers early on due to impact on squad value/funds (there's one such piece in the FPL app actually).
So, aim is to pick a 15 (not an 11) for the first 5+ weeks. Looked at FDR as well, but will have a closer look later at first 10 GWs and see who plays/who's dropped.. may get a Ben Crellins spreadsheet.
Some 50/50s
Mendy v Ederson
Harrison v Soucek (FDR?)
Cavani or have faith in Jesus?
Toney could be another Watkins (come to the PL, hit it) but Brentford aren't Villa
Yeah I'm on Bruno and Salah. I just meant that Kane is the only Captain contender from the strikers.I think the strategy this year is to have two premiums and rotate who you got based on form and fixtures.

Surely Kane was there for the week AFTER the DGW where everyone Captain him? I think it was against Villa... So funny that was.Funny you should say that, I saw someone put the highest scoring player for every week up on Twitter the other day and there were hardly any strikers in there at all.

Good luck mate. I like that you going 3 United and 0 Liverpool/City/Leeds haha. Proper fan play. I did the same my first few yearsThanks!

I think you have too much money on keepers. 4.5 is usually enough. Some even go with 4.5 plus 4.0. I like two 4.5 in case one of them suck so I can play the best one and also have cover for Covid, rotations, red cards, injuries etc. Using transfers on keepers I want to avoid so having two usually one is good enough that you do not bother getting another one. Then on wildcard you can change them to get one that have impressed.I'm with you.

Why do you think Williams would even be a starter if he joined Southampton? They have better fullbacks. He is a trap at 4.0m.Si, si. I think he'll be loaned to Soton and play regularly all season. Could use a 4.5 midfielder instead.
Don't think i'll do that squad, but it is an interesting one that could have very high ceiling if they fire. Every player is quite expensive, which means it's easy to downgrade for flavor of the weeks players. Only two real midfielders though, so it could be one of those wildcard at week 4/5 squads too
Annoyingly, when people post screenshots I can't see it through the laptop at work as it violates the rules.I'm with you.

We did head to head, so can’t comment on overall. I finished second in my 4 league head to head, but if it was overall then I’d have won.I am doing that this year for sure. Is it better to play head to head or overall?
I like head to head after last season. In my last draft league I won the last game of the season with 1 point which gave me the win in the league with 1 point in total even though I was not the highest scoring side in total.We did head to head, so can’t comment on overall. I finished second in my 4 league head to head, but if it was overall then I’d have won.
I think the fact it shows in the table your overall points means that you have the luxury of knowing the overall winner anyway.
