Ward first choice right?
I may never need this keeper, but if I get this wrong there is money lost or gained.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Ward
TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - Dalot
Salah - Sancho - Martinelli - Bailly
Haaland - Jesus
Sanchez - Pereira - Williams - Greenwood
1.5 ITB. Not sure what to do with the spare money.

I think it can be good to keep 0.5 or 1.0 (for upgrades) despite the temptation if you are happy with your squad. But 1.5 should probably be invested somewhere. I don't think Bailey will do that well.
Same here.I'm going Ward/Iversen which gives me an extra 0.5. Now to figure out where it goes
Do we know if sancho will play?
Not really, especially after his illness but I think he'll be alright. Whether or not he'll produce is another thing, but if he does he's very cheap.
I would consider the 2 x 4.0 GKs but there really is no value in where I would be looking to use the extra 1.0 I'd gain. There is precious little in 6.0 mids and 5.5 fwds so I'll stick with Ramsdale and Ward
I hope we find out for sure before the game starts.
Dalot to Gabriel for me. Not sure if it's much of an upgrade but Arsenal are apparently looking well in pre and he's on FKs.I'm going Ward/Iversen which gives me an extra 0.5. Now to figure out where it goes
Free kicks? Not Saka, Zinchencho or Jesus?
5-3-2

Suspect that in a lot of cases the best use of the 0.5m you save by going with double Leicester keepers will be in upgrading one of your Leicester keepers.
Arsenal, Chelsea and United within the first isn't great.

Ward/Iversen Gabriel/Zinchencho vs Diaz vs Ramsdale Robbo Neto? I rather have second which is my current draft, but the first is one option now.
I do not really want a leicester keeper beyond being backup or rotating to be honest. Rather go Castagne or Justin in the future .

Oh yea- I missed out Leon Bailey - steal at 5m
£5m+ or as low as possible for me. What's the point in 'upgrading' to Sanchez, Raya or Guita? Is it that much of an upgrade?
Don't fall for that Leicester double keepers guys. Keepers can get you good points. Pope got like 130 points last year.
Why? Great pre-season and very decent fixtures.
Zaha will score vs Arsenal.
I don’t know. It allows me to get Robertson in over James on my current draft. It couldn’t be any worse than other 4.5’s surely. Worth a punt for 4-5 GW before wildcard.
Kasper was shite last season, so it would well improve the Leicester defence too, especially with their players back from injury.
Could do Dalot -> Perisic for an extra 1m, leaving you 0.5m ITB.
Won’t someone like James and Ramsdale get more points than Robertson and Ward? Leicester defense was horrible last year and they might lose Fofana too.
Ward
Robertson White Dalot
Eze Sancho Mount Salah(C)
Wilson Jesus Kane(VC)
Bench: Iversen Bailey (Villa) Cucurella Kilman
£0.5m in the bank
Couldn't bring myself to put Cucurella in vs us at the weekend.
Thoughts? This is my 324th effort and I still don't like it.

I don’t think so, unless there are real problems at Leicester we aren’t aware of. Part of their problem last season was that they had a legend in nets who needed to be dropped.
They will still have Evans, Justin, Castagne back. Fofana is still there as of now. Ndidi back in midfield. They are very good. Arsenal and Newcastle will concede goals too.
Robertson is a far superior pick than James for me, in almost every single way.
I had Raya and 0,5 in the bank anyway. They are a better team than Brentford, so I think it’s a no brainer for me.
Wildcard after week 5 and get Pope in after City/Liverpool could be the move.
I like the Wilson pick. Keep debating him myself. He's just the sort I can see smashing it on opening day and the more I think about it the more I think he might be worth having in instead of an £8m for the first two at least.
Yeah that will be a tough game for them. Could well be people with triple ups seeing 3 blanks.
I would come back to Eze after Palace’s fixtures improve. Go with Bailey for now and use that cash to upgrade White. He will offer no attacking returns and he is a rotation risk.
Get Sancho down to Rashford so you aren’t risking too much on United, and use that 2.5 million saving to get Cancelo in for White.
Massive upgrade at the back and Bailey/Rashford will do just as well as Eze/Sancho over the first 3-4 games in my opinion.
I originally had Bowen in and a worse CF - but I'm not sure West Ham will do so well this year. I like Bowen a lot, but I think they'll struggle personally.
You guys really think Leicester will be a defensive force or you just saving money?
I currently have Neto on bench. On one hand thats an insurance if Bailey/Perisic/James end up being shite but on the other it's money sitting on the bench. So the option I'm seeing is removing Perisic for the likes of Sancho/Wilson/Martial etc. Wilson is good GW1 buy for sure. But after that it goes south a bit.
If its two 4.5m keepers then sure. But 5m and a 4.5m is completely different and a poor strategy.
Debating between Hwang and Martinelli for the final midfield spot. Has an Arsenal defeat written all over it on Friday and Hwang will start up front won't he??
If it’s between those two then there is no competition. Martinelli all the way.
A little bit over is 0.5m, 1.5m is massive all things considered. There's a reason you'll absolutely never see a competitive FPL player do this from the start.
ASM fair enough if you think he'll perform. But still highly unlikely to outscore 6m-7m defenders.
I've got both Leicester keepers at 4m apiece. Pretty unheard of to have a starting keeper at 4m so I think that's a good move. Ward apparently favored to start if you're looking for one. Rotating two 4.5m keepers isn't a bad move but 5m & 4.5m is too much. Obviously the 0.5m difference doesn't sound like a massive amount but it automatically puts you behind 1 million players or so.
Good point re: Eze.
I wonder if I get Cancelo I'm a bit too heavy on spending with the defence, I'll have a think, thanks for your opinion !!
Looks like the 5 at the back with Neto on the bench will be the most meta team going in.
I'm on the same. It's getting 99% rating on that hub tool and stuff but looks a bit shit.
Why bench Neto?
Which brings me to my next plan. I did this last season and it semi paid off...BB gw1.
Might knock up a draft tomorrow. The idea will be to target the best gw1 fixtures and wildcard immediately for gw2 to catch the price rises and build team value. Would allow me to go bigger on Spurs for example than I'd want to with Chelsea being their next fixture.
Yeah I've seen that idea, I won't do it, there's better points later on to get the best out of a WC.
You'd do that if City or Liverpool were playing relegation fodder. Spurs vs Soton is a good game but not like a complete banker and Soton can easily turn up (think they beat Spurs last season in the same fixture). Spurs would still be favorites of course but probably not worth wasting a whole chip on.
I liked the BB1 idea last season but less so this season.
I don’t think you can spend too heavy on defence! Cancelo got 200 points last year, which none of the 8 million midfielders reached. You don’t need to go overboard, but I think he is fantastic value for money, both him and Robertson.
