Not a bad guy (Whale Killer)
Yes and Yes.Same here
Wondering if I should get him out for Greenwood and replace Amartey with Tsimikas.

I am still thinking of a Barnes alternative and that is Maddison, but not sure he is more nailed either.We were brothers in arms last season haha let's keep it going!
That’s amazing, thank you.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.
Swapped Havertz for Pepe (who has great fixture list) and DCL for Wilson (as DCL has nobody to create for him).Works, you’ll clear up GW1. Good luck
I think Barnes is the more riskier pick but also has a much bigger upside.I am still thinking of a Barnes alternative and that is Maddison, but not sure he is more nailed either.
I will probably stick with Barnes.
Very little value at 5.5 unfortunately... maybe one of the Burnley strikers, Vvydra or Barnes? But not sure if either is nailed tbhI am thinking of going 3-5-2
who is the best budget striker to facilitate that? I'm thinking 5.5 or less
He hasn’t been mentioned but I doubt Chelsea would have loaned Broja to Southampton without a certain guarantee about minutes.I am thinking of going 3-5-2

Schmeichel isn't worth it.This is my final team, don't try to talk me out of it as I'm tortured. We'll be playing four - four - fecking - two:
Schmeichel
Tsimikas - White - Rüdiger - Shaw
Salah - Mount - Fernandes - Greenwood
Vardy - Antonio
Subs - Sánchez - Coady - Bissouma - Obafemi
There no one that will play at that price. If you can somehow get an extra 0.5, that gets you a few better players.I am thinking of going 3-5-2

Agree liked the look of Barnes last year. I did get him for his injury.I think Barnes is the more riskier pick but also has a much bigger upside.
Madison had a spell last year where he was getting a few goals but most of them were belters from outside the box. He was also scoring with his one and only shot on target per match. That's not sustainable.
Barnes is far more direct, always in the box and seems to have found his scoring boots.
With so many safe picks in my team, Barnes is the one risk I'm taking and the player that excites me the most.
Can't wait for the fecking deadline. Creating your team should be fun but I'm constantly changing my mind. Think I'd forgotten how draining/all-consuming FPL can be. Haven't even started the season yet
Isn't that true for pretty much all players?this Benharama bandwagon is exactly the sort of thing that will get me to quit after 3 weeks again
if I get him, he'll tank
if I leave him out he'll get a brace in GW1
there's always one massive bandwagon each year and it creates more risk on that one playerIsn't that true for pretty much all players?
Who's the one player you're most worried about not owning?
Mahrez for me.
Most of the City teamWho's the one player you're most worried about not owning?
Mahrez for me.
Bruno.Who's the one player you're most worried about not owning?
Mahrez for me.
I can't find that extra mil to get Ederson and I don't much like any of the other 5m keepers.Schmeichel isn't worth it.
It's been a stressy day, trying to book physio through various hoops, plus chasing up some of the 78 in my league to pay and actually enter!!We were brothers in arms last season haha let's keep it going!
As a Greenwood owner, very much so.Same here
Wondering if I should get him out for Greenwood and replace Amartey with Tsimikas.
That's a bold move!Bruno.
Stone Island geezer?Any opinions on last minute changes?
Is it sensible to have two defenders from the same team? I'm a FPL casual so I don't know.
Also, there's such a derth of 'guaranteed' strikers. I'd have definitely found a way to get Lukaku in if he'd been starting the first match.
I've gone with Grealish from the start.Grealish worries me since many friends got him and his ownership is very high.
I do not feel like Grealish will explode or start well at City, but he got the capacity in the right role to be deadly with assists.
If he does play extremly well then I might feel forced to get him with a hit.
If City win say 4-1 vs Spurs there is no way I am going in without a City player vs Norwich.
Forget the BB (which I'm also doing), no Salah against Norwich is what would have me sweating.I want the next 80 mins to go quickly. Now I am doing bench boost with:
Sanchez Pickford
Tsimikas Amartey TAA Shaw White
Jota Greenwood Mahrez Pepe Bruno
WIlson Toney Antonio
Waiting for DGW has never worked for me and forced me into many bad decisions over the years. It's rare that you can have two playing 4.0 defenders with favorable games so why not.
City got tricky games though apart from the Norwich one.I've gone with Grealish from the start.
I expect him to get minutes, plus I know if I didn't have him at the start it will just be a matter of time before I will want to get him in.
I expect him to be good value at 8.0, even with the threat of Pep Roulette.
That's a game against Liverpool so not too fussed. Not willing to make a change this late. It's one of my rules!@Dirty Schwein Rapinha is called up for the Brazil squad for games in September. If this is confirmed he might miss GW 4 due to quarantine rules. Just saw this on Twitter. If that’s the case I ll go with Buendia from the start.
I have him but a mate of mine didn't have him at all last season and still finished really high. I guess it's all about how you spend the saved money.I think it's bonkers some people don't have Bruno
he's the highest scoring FPL player since he joined the PL
