You’re confident enough to trust Spurs and Rich without Kane?
Fantasy Premier League 23/24
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Onana (Forster)
Stones Lamptey Botman Gabriel (Taylor)
Salah Rashford Bruno Saka (Douglas Luiz)
Haaland Joao Pedro (Zeqiri)
should probably have gotten TAA in somehow but the numbers didn’t work out. Don’t trust Chelsea or spurs just yet.

Lamptey is starting for your team? He doesn’t even start for his own team in real life.
I am unable to stick to my non-Salah draft 
Yeah he should be out, I was looking at fixtures rather than players
Spurs will create chances under Ang, I think that's going to be a given. Rich in an attack minded team has weirdly never been seen in the PL. But going by his Brasil form he has the capability to do it in central areas.
Ive gone safe in every area on the team, he's my differential. Im gambling on a start but if he does get that, I have no doubt hel be in and among the chances.
Hmm fair. Is Rich a better option than both Maddison and Son given the latter two are far more proven in the league?
The dilemma now is Richarlison or Mbuemo?
Rich is in a better attack and has an attacking coach.
It's a tricky one re. Maddison because I think he'll be on the end of a lot of assists and is a certainty for minutes too. But I am punting on Richarlson to be the CF if Kane leaves, and if that's the case its like having a Rashford situation of last year, just on a smaller scale.
Son is too expensive and I see him cast out wide a bit. Unless Ang tweaks his system post Kane, or puts Son in that CF position, I don't see the value in it. As I say I'm just making a huge gamble - I'm not a great FPL guy so prob not one to consult with as much
I'm going by a gut feeling here more than much else. If Richarlson gets solid gametime then 7m should be a steal.Yeah too many ifs and buts. I like differentials but I also like to not take too many chances to begin the season. I’m going to start with Bruno and Martinelli and if one of doesn’t do well then I downgrade to Rich and upgrade defense.It's a tricky one re.

Yeah. Rich is my only differential player, I feel like I've gone safe as houses everywhere else:
Onana (Turner/Areola)
Gabriel, Estupinian, Chilwell (Bell, Baldock)
Martinelli, Saka, Fernandes, Rashford, Richarlson
Watkins, Haaland (Mubama)
I could always move Rich down to Mitoma/Eze if I really need to. Mitoma is the only one that I'm thinking "hmm, got to target Luton GW1".
Might be smarter to have Mitoma over Rich and then transfer Rich in if my theory on him being a CF checks out..
Why don't you guys change your fpl name to your caf username?
A decentish GK scores about 120/season. They costs 4.5 - 5.0
A decentish DEF scores about 100/season. They cost about 4.5 - 5.0
A decentish FWD scores about 90/season. They cost about 5.5 - 6.0.
Cheapish FWDs are overrated and cheap GKs and DEFs are underrated. This is why I invest in MF and FWD and not in GK and DEF

What will Pedro (5.5) get? Last year he got 60 ffs. Now, what will Pickford (4.5) get? Last year he got 124
Pickford is most likely > Pedro in FPL, yet the latter costs 1.0 more

4-5-1 it'll be (see above)
Pickford - Areola
Gabriel - Martinez - Estupiñan - Botman - (Pau)
Salah - Rashford - Saka - Martinelli - Mitoma
Haaland - (McAtee - Mubama)

There are a number reports that Richarlison is injured .
Was just about to ask a stupid noob question relating to value.
The top defenders seem to get you more points per million spent. Why does it seem hardly anyone loads up on defenders, planning to play 4 or 5 week in, week out?
Midfielders ahead of forwards on the same metric - lots of people liking two up front?
Is it that defenders are harder to predict/less reliable?
I'm playing 3-5-2 because nearly everyone else is.
Why are people going for Pickford over Brighton's new keeper Verbruggen? I'm assuming the latter is a stone cold starter..
3-4-3 is usually the most popular, because it's all about goals and assists. But when it comes to value, GK and DEF are where it's at. Since we need to go value with a 14 FWD, I'm going with 4-5-1. Many would disagree
Most sites are picking Steele to start the first game.
Hmm, maybe the first. But I would be really surprised if they signed Bart for 16m with his skillet and not play him.
I have Verbruggen and Turner. Turner I imagine starts the first couple of gameweeks anyway to cover.
Finally settled on
Onana (Areola)
Gabriel Shaw Estu (Beyer, Bell)
Saka, Martinelli, Rashford , Diaz, Richarlison
Haaland, Watkins (Pedro)

I suppose there's that sweet spot where it's alright having value, but you can be sacrificing total points if you go too far. Loads of midfielders scoring 175+ or close to it last season, but literally 1 defender who isn't guaranteed to repeat it.
With Kane probably going, im gonna switch to this:
Flekken
Stones Gabriel Estu
Bruno Rashford Son Saka Mitoma
Haaland Darwin
Will probably change it 10 more times today
Son or Richarlison?
Also, Odegard & Watkins or Son & Darwin

I think Caicedo improves Liverpool vastly. Salah hurts the rest of the team too much but I am considering Gakpo and Diaz..
Ok dead set on this...

Saka-Rashy-Salah-Mitoma-Trossard
Haaland
4-5-1

I'm not going to change my lineup but now that Caceido's in we might keep a few more clean sheets to go with Trent's other returns.
Richarlison goes straight into my team. 7.0 MF is worth the risk for a starting striker on a top 8 team.
I've tweaked a lot..
Currently:
Currently:
Turner
Estpupian - Gabriel - Shaw
Saka - Richarlison - Salah - Rashford
Joao Pedro - Haaland - Jackson
Areola
Colwill
Baldock
Nkamba
Keepers are a risk but needs be i'll downgrade Gabriel to Botman and bring in a 4.5 keeper in a few weeks.
Tempted to go for Trusty over Baldock, not sure the best 4.0 defender and best 4.5 midfielder really.
This team has one of the key attackers from: City, Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Spurs, Brighton. Missing Newcastle and Villa assets I suppose but still. Any thoughts would be great!

Guess Kane’s move massively makes a difference to this game now.
I’m back square 1 with the news that has come out this morning. Caicedo and Kane moving are huge in my opinion

Do I stick with Maddison now that Kane is gone?
Salah now a must?
Is there a Redcafe league?
Caicedo makes TAA a better option.
Estupinian & Bruno vs. £6.5m & TAA
Estupinian & Bruno vs. £6.5m & TAA
Have to start the season with the former and use the wildcard if Trent looks essential. Caicedo might well make him a better option but it's still only speculation for now.
I'm still waiting on the Kepa news, Sanchez at 4.5 mill would be a lock for me.
I've never seen this question answered.
Nor me, guess it's a closed shop.
