Pep liesFor those that don't know, KDB and Foden injured.
Pep said Grealish not ready for opening fixture. Although he could mean the community shield game.

As first XIs go, not bad. Puts a lot of pressure on the one forward though?Current team - Feck it, I think I'll go Grealish from the get go. Don't think Pep can afford to ease him in and he looked a natural fit in the system today. Only slight worry is bench-size, very little width and double brighton in defence, but for 2 gw's i'll be fine, in case I want to do 3 transfers and switch it all around - the upside is that almost every player is a solid player.
Aubameyang is an enigma - bar last season he's always represented very strong value but who knows now. Not a bad team though - tempted by Lukaku?Tinkered around a bit, due injuries and some players not being up for it yet due short or none preseason.
Sanchez
Shaw, Manquillo, Stones
Buendia, Smith - Rowe, Salah, Bruno, Barnes
Aubameyang, Antonio
Bench: Foster, Ajer, Toney, Duffy.
He might be the old one again, but Arsenal has so sweet fixtures and Chelsea has one of toughest starts. Also all center forwards not really starting off insane atm.Aubameyang is an enigma - bar last season he's always represented very strong value but who knows now.

Arsenal fan by any chance? Hahahaha.Tinkered around a bit, due injuries and some players not being up for it yet due short or none preseason.

It's a good 11 but the zero flexibility would worry me. Not a fan of the 1 man up top system either.Current team - Feck it, I think I'll go Grealish from the get go.

Im not sure if he’s one of those players who’s good for your team but not great points wise for FF?Harvey Barnes is a great little player. Direct and aggressive style is really great to watch.
He is definitely giving me food for thought now that he is definitely ready to go.
£7mil could be a snip for what he looks capable of.
Good job you werent meaning to be offensiveArsenal fan by any chance? Hahahaha.
No offence mate but that team is awful. And why would you bench a striker, let alone a 6m striker? Never bench strikers in FPL unless they are the 4.5m bench fodder types.

Got to be cruel to be kind sometimes. Reeks of Arsenal bias.Im not sure if he’s one of those players who’s good for your team but not great points wise for FF?

scared to put my latest draft up nowGot to be cruel to be kind sometimes. Reeks of Arsenal bias.
@Nou_Camp99 … thoughts?I think i have done it...
After 80 or so changes and different combinations i think i have finally picked the team i am happy to start with.
Foster/Bachmann
Cresswell/Shaw/TAA/Target/White
Bruno/Salah/Greenwood/Barnes/Gilmour
Antonio/Ings/Mebeude
No Chelsea or City yet, plan to wildcard around GW5 and have a better idea of who is starting and preforming by then, These players have the best fixtures for the first 5 matches.
Not initially. Not sure where Kane is playing and Eeyores fixtures are tough early on… maybe laterMy team is all over the place.
Is anyone tempted to get rid of Salah or Bruno for Kane or lukaku?
Im liking Greenwood against Leeds again after his goal today. Reckon he’ll play up top. Gotta love midfielders who are strikers. He will be too much of a rotation risk as the season goes on unless he totally catches fire but he should be good for the first match or two. Also fancy Bamford to get something against us. High scoring game possiblyNot initially. Not sure where Kane is playing and Eeyores fixtures are tough early on… maybe later
Yeah I'm liking that one a lot more.
My plan was to switch Watkins to him in GW4 of he looked as good as before.Anyone else planning on getting Jimenez in? First couple of games are tricky, and Wolves have a big question mark over them currently - but he was Mr.Consistent for a long time prior to his injury. Feels like the forgotten man at the moment, haven't seen anyone mention him (even for a future transfer).
Both have fecked up schedule. Better to use Salah and Bruno and then in gw7 replace them with Lukaku and Kane. That is at least my plan for Lukaku for sure. When Kane signs and plays first game for City then i will buy him instead of Bruno i thinkFeck are we supposed to do for Kane/Lukaku? It would mean getting rid of Salah/Bruno the way most of our teams are structured.
Thought I'd forgotten pasting my own team up for a second as your first 11 is 10 of mine.
Yet oddly he didn't have White who is surely the stand out value for them.Got to be cruel to be kind sometimes. Reeks of Arsenal bias.
Stones might not be available in first GW. He didn't even make the bench yesterday.Thought I'd forgotten pasting my own team up for a second as your first 11 is 10 of mine.
Stones instead of Coufal for me.
Although subject to change as Greenwood definitely looks a good option.
And stones I might be tempted to switch with their opening games.
I see a lot of people picking White and I do think he will be a good option this season at that price but Arsenal have Chelsea and Man City in the first 3 weeks.Schmeichel
Dias Shaw White
Salah Fernandes Sancho Grealish Raphinha
Watkins Toney
That Guy, Tom, Dick and Harry
Point taken buddy!I see a lot of people picking White and I do think he will be a good option this season at that price but Arsenal have Chelsea and Man City in the first 3 weeks.
I always pick to the fixtures.
Sancho and Grealish arent guaranteed to start the season.
Leicester have half their defence out too.
Amartey is a risk. They will buy defender probably. I would avoid City defence first 6 games.@Dirty Schwein @Sandikan @Nou_Camp99 @Andycoleno9
Alisson
TAA Shaw Amartey Ayling
Bruno Salah Mahrez Rafina
Antonio Toney
Foster White Gilmour Davis
Third forward is a no no.
Fifth defender should play so can look at fixtures when Mfers have tough one and go 532.
£1m left and could keep or update Gilmour to one of Smith~Rowe, Mbuemo, Klich, Dallas, Cantwell, Neves.
or, third cheap forward, someone average like Deeney.
Thoughts?
(Edit. Could go Ederson to cover City but Liverpool fixtures early? Swap after.
or could get a 4.0 defender and with the extra £1m, upgrade a 4.5 to Dias)
On second thought, Arsenal has an easy first fixture and surely Sancho would start with Rash being out, no?I see a lot of people picking White and I do think he will be a good option this season at that price but Arsenal have Chelsea and Man City in the first 3 weeks.

Just some thoughts anyway. Theres no right or wrong answers with these things, even from the Twitter FPL 'experts'. Its all guesswork.Point taken buddy!
Yeah im expecting an Arsenal win v Brentford. Ive even thought a lot about putting Pepe in, his recent Arsenal record has been very good, loads of goals and assists. Think he could score and assist at least.On second thought, Arsenal has an easy first fixture and surely Sancho would start with Rash being out, no?
