In the football forum, probably, but he's new ... it's like the first day of a new schoolThis is the most polite thread on Caf. Who can't survive here then he is fecked on the rest of this forum.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I won't pick them either, I think they were about the only two who have not been in my team at some point the last couple of weeks. Probably go with Antoino and either Toney or Ings plus a 4.5 bench sitter. Will spend my money on defense and midfield.
I don't think anyone is expecting him to replicate his championship numbers.
But at 6.5, guaranteed starter and on penalties, he's a great enabler.
If he can get about 10 goals in the season and a couple of assists, he's done his job.
FIRST DRAFT
Not entirely convinced about the defence yet but waiting to see what happens in the transfer market this week.

Good attack and good midfield but I would be careful of picking defensive minded midfielders like Kante and Hojsberg. The big points come from goals and assists and they might not be involved too much.FIRST DRAFT

Same with the CBS at the back. I would throw in at least a couple of fullbacks who might get forward and involved in assists. Otherwise, you are just playing for clean sheets with your defenders.
Can someone suggest 2 out of Jota/Buendia/Raphinha/Barnes or at least rank them
That looks superb, although I'd more likely want Antonio in there.
White 4.5m then Amartey or Tsim for 4m would make decent filler too, although I'm assuming the third striker would have to be 4.5m
Will have a look to see if Toney can be squeezed in as a 3rd striker while keeping most of the strengths of this.

It'd still be a Newcastle defender though.
With White & Coady 4.5m and the Amartey and Tsimikas potential starting 4m guys for Leic and Liv, there's a lot of better options.
Possibly Ayling for Leeds too, having seen people's reasons.
Depends if you're thinking short or long term IMO. Raphina is the pick of those for me, Buendia and Barnes not much between them and Jota I'd have last simply because he might not start many. Iv'e gone Barnes but will bring in Raphina for him after a couple of weeks.
Jota - good shout to begin with as Bobby Firms hasn't done any pre-season. He is a bit more expensive than the rest though so that's tying up some money. Don't be surprised if he gets the odd benching. He rarely plays 90 minutes.
Buendia - Assist machine, has previous PL experience and in a good attacking team on paper. I had him from the start but only just removed him. Mainly for two reasons. Firstly, he had a slight knock and missed their last game. more importantly, I realized that DCL is a donkey and swapped him for Ings, so I don't want to double up on Villa as their fixtures fall off a cliff after GW3 and I don't want to book in two transfer.
Raphinha - Massively under-priced and in a very attacking team. He is staying in my team all year unless he gets injured.
Barnes - I swapped Buendia for him. He looks electric and in a good team with attacking riches to spare. My issue with him is the minutes. Will he get enough minutes considering Leicester have so many attacking players?
Would love some more opinion on this. Really can't make my mind up.
Coufal > Reguillon, yes.
I like Barnes as well. Brenton was beaming about him yesterday as well but with the caveat that he's not fully match fit yet. I think he'll start games early doors but maybe get hooked on 70 mins or so. Hopefully has done the damage by then.

My 1st XI:
Ederson
Wan-Bissaka__Azpilicueta__Tierney
Sancho__Soucek__Tielemans__Bruno (c)__Saka
Bamford___Werner (Thinking about replacing him)
Bench
Foster, Targett (Villa), Wood (Burnley), Goode (Brentford)
I need to re-think about my striking options, Bamford will be playing us away in the 1st GW and Werner is well, Werner.

You nearly made me to go for Reguilon then i realised how fecked up is their schedule. I must avoid this thread till friday.
I went for Amartey and Grealish. feck it. I hope that i will not regret ditching Digne and Buendia.
But if Ole says on Friday that Cavani is starting then.....more problems
Rumour is Arsenal after Maddison which may help Barnes’ minutes. While Leicester have bought another forward, I think that impacts on Grandpa Vardy and Ian Nacho rather than Barnes.
Coufal, fixtures.
Say what? I don't even have Reguilon and can't decide if he's worth it so not sure how I would have done that
I assume you meant Raphinha... if so, his first 5 fixtures are: United, Everton, Burnley, Liverpool, Newcastle. That's 3 good fixtures in 5 and even the other 2 are not enough to put me off. Leeds scored against United, Liverpool, City and every other top team. The way they play, they can get goals against anyone... After that, they have West Ham, Watford, Soton, Wolves and Norwich... happy days!
Yes, I think I'll stick with the way I have it. Love Barnes and nice to have an exciting pick that isn't in every team.
Looking for a £6m midfielder at the moment and got my eye on the Willock transfer to Newcastle. Would give me a Bruno draft that looks like this...
Bachman (Foster)
TAA Shaw Coufal (Ayling) (Omobamedile)
Willock Salah Bruno Barnes Jota
Ings Antonio (Obafemi)
which I quite like.

If we lose Saturday, it’s your fault.Say what? I don't even have Reguilon and can't decide if he's worth it so not sure how I would have done that

So.....
Martinez
Tierney, Wan Bissaka, Cresswell
Gundo, Greenwood, Salah, Bruno,
Toney, Ings, Iheanacho
Currently. It's a fecker, nailing down that first 11.

Greenwood and Gundogan are good options for first few games but then I'd be worried about rotation.
I like that team. My only slight concern is having two players on the bench that probably wont play. Maybe swap Omobamedile for Amartey?
Yes, they can score against anyone but anyone can score against them. We're all good don't worry
But @Sandikan overall I'm definitely leaning towards a no TAA draft. Liverpool have great fixtures but their defense wasn't great last season and now with Robertson injured and VvD coming back from a long absence it's a bit dicey spending big on their defense. Think those funds are better used in midfield. Especially as you can find loads of good 5-5.5 replacements in defense.
Spooky.
Was just thinking same thing and now have a team that includes Bruno, Salah and Kane... and the rest looks ok too, including a playing bench.
Not 100% (and the way things are going, there'll probably be a load of moves and/or injuries yet) but may keep it.
Greenwood or Jota?
Yeah. Think there's more value in midfield. I'm going with Bruno Salah and Son. Hoping to downgrade Bruno to Sancho to bring in TAA later if he's firing.
My team:
Sanchez
Rudiger - Webster - Shaw
Barnes - Salah(C) - Bruno(VC) - Greenwood
Toney - Iheanacho - Ings
Have my doubts about picking Iheanacho but have a feeling that he will start.

Slightly better.
Current draft
Sanchez (Forster)
TAA Shaw Coufal White (Ayling)
Salah Bruno Willock Raphinha (Smith Rowe)
Ings Antonio (Toney)
The Everton fan in this thread put me off Digne and DCL, and I was already on the fence because of the new manager factor and question marks over their role in a potentially more defensive Benitez system.
Fairly happy with how it looks so far and confident it will get me through to GW5 with the flexibility to swap a big hitter (likely Bruno) for either Kane or Lukaku if they become must owns, although it feels a bit cookie cutter and generic.

Love this team, the midfield is brilliant. Are you nervous with no TAA for those opening Liverpool fixtures?Slightly better.
Indeed I am. But I'd be equally nervous with no Son as he seems to be playing up front now and was already bagging doubles last season for fun so it's making that choice. Explained more here.
That's some midfield?!Slightly better.
This shows how TAA is expensive fecker.Slightly better.
Yeah. Tempting. I'd probably bring in Greenwood or Jota for GW1 and let the city Spurs game play out with funds to switch them to Grealish if needed.
I would swap out Kante for someone more offensive. Or if you want a Chelsea player - Jorginho as he is almost nailed on to take all penalties which could easily be 5+ goals a season.
Would pie off Hojberg for an attack minded player, or a cheap nailed 4.5 (eg Bissouma) and re-invest elsewhere
So I like this draft and it might be my team. Any ideas?
Sanchez Bachmann
TAA Shaw Tierney Ayling Amartey
Greenwood Raphinha Salah Son Mahrez
Ings Toney Obafemi.
Not a fan of Omafemi, but no way to uppgrade him without removing a mid or TAA. Lukaku I probably bring in if good value though.
Although Lukaku without pens might not be worth 11 million or so.

You are not taking TAA for his defense.it's his attacking returns that stands out.
Who will be the left back for Liverpool? Is It going to be Milner ?
Yeah I understand. But it has to come with the clean sheets to make him worth it.
