Which keepers should I go for?Those are two really good moves! I would plump for one of those GKs as @CassiusClaymore suggested and that will give you some extra cash.

Can see why.Haven't played this for a long time, was no good then and don't anything about strategies or the like. Was roped into a work league so here's what I've gone with:
I think you only want one starter and then a 4.0 on your bench.Which keepers should I go for?
Yeah it did tbh. With your fixtures, he's basically undroppable. I haven't decided which draft to go with anywayMust've hurt not including Rashford
Basically every Chelsea player is a risk right now. We just don't know how they are going to perform. With Liverpool in town, I would definitely avoid. (Atleast that's what I have done)Do people think it's better to start with Pedro then switch to Jackson after GW2 or simply start with Jackson and hope for the best?
First draft I’ve seen with no Haaland. All I can say is good luck! Also need to sort your bench out. You don’t need so much money sitting there with those players who aren’t going to play every week. Weaken your bench and strengthen your playing XI.Haven't played this for a long time, was no good then and don't anything about strategies or the like.

What is your opinion on Liverpool assets? Do you think either Diaz or Jota would be good punts?Alright, new Kane draft. Flekken's going to be Brentford's number 1 this season and I really want to keep hold of Maddison. Otherwise there's not much creative happening, but as someone else said, given everyone's got Haaland you need someone else scoring goals.
These dickheads need to sort out his transfer situation though.
Dunno if it's worth it really. TAA's scores are going to be hurt by our awful defence shipping goals. We're going to score them for fun ala Brendan Rodgers's team but it's not clear which players are going to score them and I'm not sure picking Salah makes more sense than picking Kane given the glut of high scoring midfielders.You call yourself a Liverpool fan without having Salah or any Pool assets?
Salah is worth it over Kane cause I’m case you want to switch out it’s easier to jump to a midfielder since there are so many options. Unless Nkunku and Jesus come back there aren’t many forward options.Dunno if it's worth it really. TAA's scores are going to be hurt by our awful defence shipping goals.

I did post a Salah draft earlier. Just not convinced by it.
I don't think Jota will be a good punt as he's not in our best XI and shouldn't be IMO. Diaz is a good punt as he's a cracking player who scores and assists and he's managed 62 and 64 points in the last two seasons with slightly under 1000 minutes in each.What is your opinion on Liverpool assets? Do you think either Diaz or Jota would be good punts?
I am tempted by both as they will be amongst the goals every time they are on the bench and are both too good to bench for any extended period of time.
Do you think they both might start?
Hmm interesting. Food for thought. To be fair, I've thought about nothing else for about a week.Salah is worth it over Kane cause I’m case you want to switch out it’s easier to jump to a midfielder since there are so many options. Unless Nkunku and Jesus come back there aren’t many forward options.
I like your squad as it's almost entirely made up of players I've picked in my 85 or so drafts so far, but it's a bit nuts picking a team without Haaland. 80% of players have him so anytime he scores you're already behind.Haven't played this for a long time, was no good then and don't anything about strategies or the like. Was roped into a work league so here's what I've gone with:
Don't think Jota's our first choice on the left or through the middle. It's most likely Salah-Gakpo-Diaz. Darwin might displace someone, but Jota's not likely to start all season even if he gets some starts early on.
Think I’m settling for this. Thoughts?
0 itb, shit subs
Double Brighton defence, Trossard, and Jota would be no go's for me. Garnacho is 50/50.

Can see why.

Right, gonna completely re-jig that. Told you I didn't know what I was doing!I like your squad as it's almost entirely made up of players I've picked in my 85 or so drafts so far, but it's a bit nuts picking a team without Haaland. 80% of players have him so anytime he scores you're already behind.
Also I think the idea is to pick really cheap squad fillers for your bench so you can spend the money on starters.
Harsh but we were all thinking itCan see why.
Thanks for that mate, that really helps actually! I would have assumed Jota would start after preseason.I don't think Jota will be a good punt as he's not in our best XI and shouldn't be IMO. Diaz is a good punt as he's a cracking player who scores and assists and he's managed 62 and 64 points in the last two seasons with slightly under 1000 minutes in each.
I think he'll be a regular starter for us and don't see anyone displacing him. But I don't want to punt on him just in case Klopp does something unexpected, and I also don't trust players who've had a long-term injury the previous year.
Look, he might tbh, but Gakpo's a better player and he was great leading the line in our good run last season. And Diaz is a far, far better winger than him. Even if he starts the early games he's not going to last all season. I wouldn't be going near him.Thanks for that mate, that really helps actually!

I love Diaz as a player, I think he is great, but you are right about the injury! One to watch!
FPL is life.Right, gonna completely re-jig that. Told you I didn't know what I was doing!
Haaland will be coming in. Going to drop some of those expensive squad players and focus on starting XI players almost exclusively.
The thing is, and I know it means this isn't the game for me, I'm not sure I can be arsed manging the squad as the season progresses or even picking my starters on a weekly basis.That's why I chucked in a bunch of reliable players, all of whom will score quite regularly. Not sure how good if it all my competition is at work, there's only 7 or 8 in it and it's only a tenner each. Always preferred the score prediction games over Fantasy truth be told.
Looks like I'm going to be forced into keeping on top of things if I want to do well.
Maybe having all three is overkill, but isn't there something to be said for lads who are risks when it comes to starting, but will definitely get minutes in attacking teams considering games could go 100+ minutes now.Double Brighton defence, Trossard, and Jota would be no go's for me. Garnacho is 50/50.
Jota had 80 points last year. He is a sub in Pool. Yes, he will haul then and there but for that money you can buy someone who will start every week (and deliver). And Trossard is a sub too.

Option 1 is more flashy and better chance to score more. Option 2 is more nailed since they are both captains.Rashford+Martinelli or Odegaard+Bruno?
You would definitely think so. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out - wingbacks I’d imagine will be more prone to getting subbed off, which could protect a clean sheet vs CBs who tend to play the whole game.Just a general thought about FPL this year: there's probably going to be less clean sheets all round with there being longer injury time, eh?
This is awful, man. .New squad! More like it after my last one was laughed out of the place?
Could still re-jig a little. Might bin bin off any/all of Luiz, Maddison, Pedro, Darwin.
There's no hurry to get Spurs players given their opening fixtures and the new management. I'll wait and see who is the better pick between all their midfield options and then can replace someone like Bruno for one of them.Mitoma / Watkins or Maddison / Jackson ?
Currently on the former but it’s the most template team ever, and quite tempted by Maddison who should do well in an attacking Spurs side.
One thought is that if you want to go for Rashford then downgrade Luiz to a 4.5 mid and Darwin to Jackson (Darwin likely to be rotated and Jackson likely to play in Nkunku's absence) and then get Rashford in for Maddison. Then if you want to triple up on United's attack in a few weeks once Højlund's integrated into the team you could switch out Onana and get him in for Jackson at 7.0New squad!

Mitoma + Watkins. People are underestimating this Villa team and especially Watkins. He has been one of the best strikers in England in 2023.Mitoma / Watkins or Maddison / Jackson ?

I'd shift out Darwin as he's not a starter at this stage. You can buy him later if he starts scoring and nails down a place.New squad! More like it after my last one was laughed out of the place?

First one. Think it's good percentage play to have 3 of Utd and Arsenal, biasing attacking players from the off.New Main draft vs. Kane draft. Still feels boring though:
Onana
Gabriel, Estupinian, Chilwell
Saka, Rashy, Maddison, Bruno, Martinelli
Haaland, Jackson
Subs: Areola, Mubama, Kabore, Beyer
(0.5 in the bank)
Or:
Onana
Gabriel, Estupinian, Saliba
Saka, Rashy, Eze, Mitoma, Mbuemo
Haaland, Kane
Subs: Areola, Mubama, Kabore, Beyer
(0 in the bank)
Any thoughts? @Maluco @RDCR07 @Sandikan @Moby @CassiusClaymore @anyone
