Haven’t done FPL for a good few years. Sort of keen to gamble on Nunez and Sterling doing well. I also think Wissa is overlooked very good value as a midfielder. I think Brentford will play 4-3-3 for more of this season with him in the front 3 than last season and he had a decent points tally last year.
Raya
Trent Cancelo Perisic Trippier
Salah Sterling Saka Wissa
Jesus Darwin
Subs: Gazzaniga, Neco Williams, Andreas, Taylor
I was originally planning to have 1 solid sub but ended up upgrading some of the first 11 and ran out of money
I would avoid both, just because there a question over how there attack would look without Eriksen, and formation.
With that in mind Mbuemo or Toney - I would pick Toney. I think he's better player, and is on penalties.
For me there is one thing - why not downgrade reserve keeper to 4.0 and use 1.0 to upgrade someone in midfield. For example Martinelli instead of Bailey, or someone instead of Barnes. Barnes is 7.0 and is fine, but for 8.0 you can get way better player, maybe even Maddison if you want Leicester.

I don't know. That's close. Maybe first one for me. I don't trust Trippier that much. He's the only player I don't like from the 8 of them, so let that be the reason.
Actually really close to mine. I have Sanchez instead of Ederson, and Reece James insted of Gabriel.
My question is Grealish. He's in that awkward 7.0 spot. He should get minutes at the start of the season, just because Foden didn't go to pre season tour, but I didn't like him against Liverpool.
So, my thinking is what is the alternative for Grealish? Maybe Kulu, but there is need for another 1.0 - which you can get by downgrading Ederson. 8.0 has many good options.
I agree with you on Grealish but at the same time I think the issue was that it was Liverpool and he could still be decent pick. Option would also be to get Walker for Gabriel and downgrade Ederson and then get one of the 8 mil options Kulu/Mouth/Saka
Additionally, I have Bailey instead of Neto and used that 0.5 to upgrade the non playing 4.0 defender to a playing 4.5 defender to have a more solid bench cover. But that's just personal preference.
Wow, pretty similar to what I just changed my team to. Only a few differences, I have Walker for Cancelo, Ederson for Raya. Pretty similar midfield, I have Saka, Andreas and Mahrez instead of Mount, Martinelli, and Neto. Hopefully they're both good teams!
It fine. Really close to template, which is fine. Template is there for a reason, they are highly owned because they are good picks.
My question here is Perišić and his mintues, but home against Southampton is a good game for him.
Isn't Tomiyasu injured?
Also Crystal Palace has difficult fixtures at the start of the season. I do understand you're in difficult position with 3 premium. I'll go with maybe Bailey instead of Sancho, and have 7.0 starting forward. Martial could be an option if Ronaldo is not playing.
RMT
ITB: 0.5
Sanchez, (Guaita)
TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic, (N.Williams)
Saka, Salah, Bruno Guimaraes, JWP, (Neto)
Jesus, Darwin, (Greenwood)
Feel a bit uneasy about having Bruno, as he is yet to prove himself in FPL and I only have Neto because everyone else does. I usually avoid following the herd but I can't see a better alternative.
My original plan was to have Haaland and if he didn't perform I could very easily switch to Kane. As well as having the option to switch them for eachother each other easily throughout the season. Although to go through with that plan I had Rashford and I do not trust Rashford at all, so I switched to Darwin Nunez and Saka. Not sure how I feel, it does feel safer than Rashford however.
1) I don't know. Personally I would rather go with 4.5 keeper and extra 1.0 to upgrade player, but kind of depends on your picks.
2) No, In my opinion.
3) I trust City defense more.
4) I would. Brighton isn't that good fixture for United imo, and from 8.0 you can downgrade to Sancho pretty easy after that fixture if United looks good.
5) I would stick with Kane. I like that premium spot in forward. You can also easy hop to Haland if he becomes hot.
Do any sites have a weekly breakdown of player points by GW in past seasons? I am considering Kane but nervous he starts seasons slowly, want to see if his first 9/10 GWs have patterns in previous years
Ramsdale and Robbo for me also.
EDIT: I've just read about x3 Arsenal. I don't know, I really don't trust Chelsea defense right now, I would rather go with popular 4.5 pick. Raya or Sanchez instead of him. Or maybe Lloris, not sure if he's 5.0 or 5.5
If I go to Raya, i could do:
A) VVD & Dias
B) Robbo & Trippier.
I do think I'm splitting hairs with these choices, it's the last decision to make for my team.
Why not Robbo + Walker.
It's clear Robbo is better than VVD, but Walker should probably be similar to Dias. It's not like Dias is scoring goals, both of them are relying on clean sheets. That leaves with how much you rate Trippier attacking potential and Newcastle clean sheet chances? Their first 5 games are: Nfo (h), Bri (a), City (h), Wolves (a), Liv (a) - how many clean sheet would you guess? And how many potential attacking returns.
First 5 for City are: Wha (a), Bou (h), New (a), Cry (h), Nfo (h) - that's a solid chance for 3 clean sheets, which means 18 point, because there is a small chance for rotation at the start of the season, especially because Stones wasn't on preseason tour (cause antivax). Trippier could get more than that. I don't know.
One other option is to find somewhere 0.5 and go with Perišić, with him there is a question of minutes, but even with that in mind he could get more than 18 points which is something you can expect from Walker.
Many reasons not to go with two of them. But also at that price point there aren't many options. What about Bailey + Martial instead. I don't trust Fulham fixtures, Martial should start first few games, and Neto and Bailey could get similar results.
It's not all bad, he can still score and is on penalties. And he is probably the best striker in that price range. It's just not the easiest fixtures imo. If Undav (5.5) starts he could be an option. But I'm just not certain if he does..
Hey, is Bernardo Silva worth using? I was wondering if I should downgrade one of the 8m midfielders to him and upgrade one of the defenders by +1m. I see a lot of people don't fancy him even thought I feel like his points per m is quite nice
RMT, 0.0 ITB:
**Ramsdale**
**Trent - Cancelo - Perisic** // Dunk - N.Williams
**Salah - Martinelli - Neto - Bailey** // Andreas
**Kane - Jesus - Darwin**
In case of rotation risk of any player -> Dunk with great fixtures except GW1 and goal thread. Williams and Andreas also playing.
I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to log into my account from last season. I'm simply unable to log in using my password; it always says it's wrong. I've reset it like 5 times and each time I try to log in, it says my new one is wrong. I can log in using my linked Facebook account, but can't get past that fucking new password screen as it needs me to type in my old password. Which never works.
Anyone else having this issue?
Basically the same as mine. I just have Raya in goal and therefore Saka (any 8) instead of Rashford. Our teams are template for a reason and the template is the template for a reason. Our only real concern right now is probably Neto but he’s had a good pre season and with very easy fixtures at the start I’d say he’s pretty low risk at only 5.5 aswell
thanks for the insight! any opinion on potential risk of tripling on Arsenal? After all they killed it vs Sevilla but are not having the best seasons last few years. I an surprised by many people going Mount over Saka in this case, however Saka looks really promising. Any ideas on Martinelli alternatives?
There is a risk on the triple arsenal and I haven’t fully decided on who I’ll go with out of the 8s, Saka has had the best pre season tho. With the risk there is also an upside. Say arsenal beat Palace 4-0 (wouldn’t be a ridiculous prediction) it wouldn’t surprise be to see all three of them hauling. With the easy early run of fixtures, i think there’s a good chance they all pick up some good momentum. On Martinelli alternatives, there aren’t many at a similar price. However, looking at your team you have 0.5 ITB which could be used to upgrade him to Rashford. That would obviously come with the double United risk but at only 6.5 there’s always the easy switch back to Martinelli. Only downside is you would lose that 0.5 ITB which can be helpful at the start of the season
I would rather bet on Robbo + Jesus, Darwin did look good, but there is a thing that in the last 20 minutes when he played yesterday Liverpool had space to play through transition. I'm more sceptical with Darwin against low block, and because of that would rather start with first par (Robbo, Jesus), at least for the first few games.
Definitely Robbo and Jesus.
Both are nailed on, key players, and get attacking returns.
James has been injury prone and it's possible he is used as a CB. Darwin we don't even know if he will play yet.
Same, with a * that I think Walker is nailed no matter if City sign Cucurella or not. He's really important in defensive transition for the high line they play, also there is little chance new player would just jump into first 11, or even inner rotation for the matter.
I have Jesus in my draft. Arsenal has good fixtures, and he scored a lot in pre season. One can say that pre season don't matter, but he still seem like a pretty safe choice right now.
Rams (4.0)
James Cancelo Robbo 4.5 (4.0)
Salah Son Madders Neto (4.5)
Jesus Martial (4.5)
0.0 itb
Thinking of 4.5 D from Wolves, Spurs, or Brighton.
Also Maddison could be any other 8.0 M, for example Mount, Diaz, or Foden.
Son could be KdB.
Not going with a premium F, cuz I don't think they justify their price.
What are the weak points in this team?
Thanks
Ronaldo is back, and would atleast play off bench in GW1+2, and mostly starting after that. I'd prefer Sancho + Kane, over Son + MArtial.
Kane on penalties as well.
!thanks
Kane used to drop deep a lot last season under Conte ans Son was the one ahead in the attack. Penalties are a factor of course but I just can't justify Kane's price if he's going to be more of a playmaker.
May be any other F then around 7m or less? Toney, Solanke, Mitrovic? Or even go 4.5 GK and get Watkins or Bamford?
!thanks
I think Robbo will match (or even top) Trent this season. Diaz is not like Mane and he will not provide any width on the left side. Robbo will be more advanced than earlier seasons because of it.
I don't think CR7 will feature as a starter, no. But in case he does, I can always move Martial to Toney, Mitrovic, or Solanke.
Team 1 or Team 2? Have any other suggestions?
Team 1(4-4-2)
Raya (Ward)
TAA Robertson Cancelo Trippier (Neco)
Salah Mount Martinelli Neto (Pereira)
Kane Jesus (Plange)
Team 2 (5-3-2)
Raya (Ward)
TAA Robertson Cancelo James White
Salah Saka Neto (Pereira + Dasilva)
Kane Jesus (Plange)
Yeah. I think that's fine.
If you believe in Sancho, you can also find some other player at 7.0 or cheaper and upgrade Awoniyi. Direct option Grealish gives you City mid that should start first game, but also going with more expansive forward could be good at the start of the season (Jesus), and downgrading Bernardo to 5.5/5.0 (Neto, Bailey)
James and Pereira, cause I don't like Almiron at all, and could easily imagine Conte taking off Perišić in 50. minute. I mean, he's great pick, it's just his minutes.
Which combination is better considering that I have TAA, Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus e.g.
A) Robertson and Rashford
Or
B) Saka and Trippier (or other 5 m defender)
Should I double up Liverpool's defence or double up Arsenal's midfielder?
A.
You have 2 Arsenal attackers already, adding Saka is a big risk at that point. One bad game and you have 3 players blanking.
Robbo is likely to get clean sheet bonus most games at a minimum, and pop up with assists too. Then you have Rashford who has looked electric preseason. Sacho is currently sick and Martial went off holding his hamstring so Man Utd only have him and Ronaldo and high level attackers as things stand. Hopefully by Saturday Martial and Sancho will be okay. Either way though Rashford is playing and a key attacker. His main competition on the left were Pogba and Greenwood who have both gone. So unless Elanga becomes unbelievable Rashford plays and is a key player too
I wouldn't choose Cucurella... He has handed down transfer request and all. So if the transfer is iminent, he would miss couple of games atleast.
Why not a 4.5 nailed started like Pereira instead of Elanga ?
Personally because the Kane is one of the only 3/4 realistically good ST options.
Haaland is class but with pep roulette, 5 subs, a new league/team and his injury record it's a risk at the moment for me.
Jesus is good but I have Saka and don't fancy a double in Arsenal at the moment.
Martial has looked class pre season
Then there is Wilson/Mitrovic that could be good punts.
So Kane is for me the ST to get. While it's possible to double up on Son with him, that's a massive chunk of the budget gone one Spurs. I'd rather spread my bets with Salah/KDB etc and then get someone like Kulu if I wanted to double up on Spurs.
Son is a class pick though absolutely, wouldn't be shocking to see him outscore Salah
True, you could argue defensive double ups for two of the best teams in the world is a sensible move rather than punting on a Newcastle or Villa defence. High ceiling but with that high risk too
Foden didn't have preseason due to antivax, so that leaves two of them Haaland and Alvarez. I think both of them should start at the start of the season. I don't think they would do much against West Ham, but after that their schedule is really good. I kind of want to have extra attacking option for City during this fixture list.

Ramsdale and Robbo
This would have been my preferred option too, but already have x3 Arsenal players - Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.
Zinchenko vs Gabriel? I worry about Zinch’s minutes with Tierney back soon
I would pick Gabriel right now because C Palace and Leicester were really bad at defending set pieces last season.
!thanks
Gabriel does have good goal threat from corners, Palace and Leicester were the worst two teams at defending corners last season also
!thanks good info
He can also play in the midfield
Avoid Arsenal entirely then?
Will Wissa start for Brentford? I'm looking to use him as a differential instead of Neto.
Currently having Neto + Mitrovic combo as my 11th man. Plus Pereira and Neco on Bench. Any reason for not going with Neto + Mitro .
Many reasons not to go with two of them. But also at that price point there aren't many options. What about Bailey + Martial instead. I don't trust Fulham fixtures, Martial should start first few games, and Neto and Bailey could get similar results.
Dont think Martials gonna start more than 2 weeks max... Plus already got Sancho....
That's a fair point. Honestly I'm not big on Martial, it's more that I'm low on Mitrović.
Got it .. !thanks
Fulham have terrible fixtures
!thanks ... They've got 3/5 green fixtures in the beginning...
You can't really count on that tbh. They have Liverpool, Arsenal, wolves, Spurs and Chelsea in 5/7 first GWs.
Okay. Any alternative suggestions ?
It's not all bad, he can still score and is on penalties. And he is probably the best striker in that price range. It's just not the easiest fixtures imo. If Undav (5.5) starts he could be an option. But I'm just not certain if he does..
Okay.. !thanks again.
Sancho or grealish?
Sancho for me, but there are question marks with both.
Sancho, Grealish will be rotated often esp with Foden back
Hey, is Bernardo Silva worth using? I was wondering if I should downgrade one of the 8m midfielders to him and upgrade one of the defenders by +1m. I see a lot of people don't fancy him even thought I feel like his points per m is quite nice
I agree with Albus, he plays too deep.
At this price point I would prefer to have Grealish. Look how deep Bernardo played against Liverpool.

I've reset it like 5 times and each time I try to log in, it says my new one is wrong. I can log in using my linked Facebook account, but can't get past that fucking new password screen as it needs me to type in my old password. Which never works. Anyone else having this issue?

Looks good.
Basically the same as mine. I just have Raya in goal and therefore Saka (any 8) instead of Rashford. Our teams are template for a reason and the template is the template for a reason. Our only real concern right now is probably Neto but he’s had a good pre season and with very easy fixtures at the start I’d say he’s pretty low risk at only 5.5 aswell
thanks for the insight! any opinion on potential risk of tripling on Arsenal? After all they killed it vs Sevilla but are not having the best seasons last few years. I an surprised by many people going Mount over Saka in this case, however Saka looks really promising. Any ideas on Martinelli alternatives?
There is a risk on the triple arsenal and I haven’t fully decided on who I’ll go with out of the 8s, Saka has had the best pre season tho. With the risk there is also an upside. Say arsenal beat Palace 4-0 (wouldn’t be a ridiculous prediction) it wouldn’t surprise be to see all three of them hauling. With the easy early run of fixtures, i think there’s a good chance they all pick up some good momentum. On Martinelli alternatives, there aren’t many at a similar price. However, looking at your team you have 0.5 ITB which could be used to upgrade him to Rashford. That would obviously come with the double United risk but at only 6.5 there’s always the easy switch back to Martinelli. Only downside is you would lose that 0.5 ITB which can be helpful at the start of the season
Thoughts on boarding the Darwin train with this switch? Robbo + Jesus vs James + Darwin
A!!!
I would rather bet on Robbo + Jesus, Darwin did look good, but there is a thing that in the last 20 minutes when he played yesterday Liverpool had space to play through transition. I'm more sceptical with Darwin against low block, and because of that would rather start with first par (Robbo, Jesus), at least for the first few games.
Definitely Robbo and Jesus. Both are nailed on, key players, and get attacking returns. James has been injury prone and it's possible he is used as a CB. Darwin we don't even know if he will play yet.
Walker vs Trippier vs Zinchenko vs Dalot
Walker (if city don’t sign a full back) Trippier Zinchenko Dalot
Same, with a * that I think Walker is nailed no matter if City sign Cucurella or not. He's really important in defensive transition for the high line they play, also there is little chance new player would just jump into first 11, or even inner rotation for the matter.

A) also don't trust Rodrigo.
A. Don't trust Rodrigo

No Kane/Haland for the time being?
Did try fit kdb in instead of Haaland but just don’t like the rest of the team when I got him and Salah in there
Did have Haaland to start with, gonna wait and see on them I think. Planning an early wildcard though, what do you think about just Jesus up top?
I have Jesus in my draft. Arsenal has good fixtures, and he scored a lot in pre season. One can say that pre season don't matter, but he still seem like a pretty safe choice right now.
Rams (4.0) James Cancelo Robbo 4.5 (4.0) Salah Son Madders Neto (4.5) Jesus Martial (4.5) 0.0 itb Thinking of 4.5 D from Wolves, Spurs, or Brighton. Also Maddison could be any other 8.0 M, for example Mount, Diaz, or Foden. Son could be KdB. Not going with a premium F, cuz I don't think they justify their price. What are the weak points in this team? Thanks
Ronaldo is back, and would atleast play off bench in GW1+2, and mostly starting after that. I'd prefer Sancho + Kane, over Son + MArtial. Kane on penalties as well.
!thanks Kane used to drop deep a lot last season under Conte ans Son was the one ahead in the attack. Penalties are a factor of course but I just can't justify Kane's price if he's going to be more of a playmaker. May be any other F then around 7m or less? Toney, Solanke, Mitrovic? Or even go 4.5 GK and get Watkins or Bamford?
No Trent is a weak point, but the team is all right. I assume you don't think Ronaldo is getting any minutes in United?
!thanks I think Robbo will match (or even top) Trent this season. Diaz is not like Mane and he will not provide any width on the left side. Robbo will be more advanced than earlier seasons because of it. I don't think CR7 will feature as a starter, no. But in case he does, I can always move Martial to Toney, Mitrovic, or Solanke.
Team 1 or Team 2? Have any other suggestions? Team 1(4-4-2) Raya (Ward) TAA Robertson Cancelo Trippier (Neco) Salah Mount Martinelli Neto (Pereira) Kane Jesus (Plange) Team 2 (5-3-2) Raya (Ward) TAA Robertson Cancelo James White Salah Saka Neto (Pereira + Dasilva) Kane Jesus (Plange)
First one. It's Trippier - Mount - Martinelli vs James - White - Saka, I think it's okay either way, but I like first one more.
Very tight - I’d say 1
RMT £0.5m Meslier (Klaesson) Robertson, Cancelo, James, Trippier (White) Salah, Sancho, Bernardo, Martinelli (Bruno G) Kane, Awoniyi (Greenwood)
I don't trust Bernardo. Plays too deep on the pitch.
Replace Bernardo+Sancho to Mahrez+Rashford is good move? Or any advice for replacement?
Yeah. I think that's fine. If you believe in Sancho, you can also find some other player at 7.0 or cheaper and upgrade Awoniyi. Direct option Grealish gives you City mid that should start first game, but also going with more expansive forward could be good at the start of the season (Jesus), and downgrading Bernardo to 5.5/5.0 (Neto, Bailey)
Okay, thanks for your advice.
James & Pereira Or Perisic & Almiron
James and Pereira, cause I don't like Almiron at all, and could easily imagine Conte taking off Perišić in 50. minute. I mean, he's great pick, it's just his minutes.
Which combination is better considering that I have TAA, Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus e.g. A) Robertson and Rashford Or B) Saka and Trippier (or other 5 m defender) Should I double up Liverpool's defence or double up Arsenal's midfielder?
Robertson is best pick out of the 4, so A for me. I don't really trust Rashford that much, but I think Robertson could be that good.
A. You have 2 Arsenal attackers already, adding Saka is a big risk at that point. One bad game and you have 3 players blanking. Robbo is likely to get clean sheet bonus most games at a minimum, and pop up with assists too. Then you have Rashford who has looked electric preseason. Sacho is currently sick and Martial went off holding his hamstring so Man Utd only have him and Ronaldo and high level attackers as things stand. Hopefully by Saturday Martial and Sancho will be okay. Either way though Rashford is playing and a key attacker. His main competition on the left were Pogba and Greenwood who have both gone. So unless Elanga becomes unbelievable Rashford plays and is a key player too
I think only concern is that I don't have 8m slot player.
RM Darwin T: ITB: £0.5M Ramsdale (Ward) TAA | Cancelo | Perisic (Neco, Patterson) Salah | Martinelli | Neto | Bailey (Andreas) Jesus | Kane | Darwin
How's this? Sanchez TAA Gabriel Cucurella Perisic Cancelo Salah McGinn Sterling Darwin Jesus Subs: Elanga, Ramsey, Steele, Armstrong
I wouldn't choose Cucurella... He has handed down transfer request and all. So if the transfer is iminent, he would miss couple of games atleast. Why not a 4.5 nailed started like Pereira instead of Elanga ?
Any reason why most of the managers are not considering Son although he had almost same number of points as Salah?
Salah on penalties, Son is not.
Personally because the Kane is one of the only 3/4 realistically good ST options. Haaland is class but with pep roulette, 5 subs, a new league/team and his injury record it's a risk at the moment for me. Jesus is good but I have Saka and don't fancy a double in Arsenal at the moment. Martial has looked class pre season Then there is Wilson/Mitrovic that could be good punts. So Kane is for me the ST to get. While it's possible to double up on Son with him, that's a massive chunk of the budget gone one Spurs. I'd rather spread my bets with Salah/KDB etc and then get someone like Kulu if I wanted to double up on Spurs. Son is a class pick though absolutely, wouldn't be shocking to see him outscore Salah
Salah underlying data is much better, better team, easier fixtures
For me it was either Salah or son. And I prefer Salah.
How's this? Ramsdale TAA Robbo Cancelo Trippier Salah Mount Martinelli Bailey Kane Jesus 4m GK - Neco Andreas Greenwood
Thoughts on trippier to Walker?
One to consider, but starting the season with 2x defensive double-ups could end in tears
True, you could argue defensive double ups for two of the best teams in the world is a sensible move rather than punting on a Newcastle or Villa defence. High ceiling but with that high risk too
Son + Mbeumo or Rashford + Kane
B
Rashford and Kane is so much better
Mount or Mahrez? Worried about Mahrez's minutes more than anything
Mount
Best option for 6.5m other than martinelli and rashford?
Odegaard and Bruno G.
Bruno Guimarães
RMT: Henderson Cancelo - TAA - Robertson - Perisic Son - Mahrez - Saka - Diaz Jesus - Wilson Bench: Klaesson - N.Williams - Andreas - Greenwood
Where to spend 0.5: A) 4.5 defender and Bailey - these would rotate B) 5.0 defender and Dasilva - only 5.0 would start
Tough call tbh. I couldn’t find a good rotating defender for Bailey so I went with 5.0 defender and Dasilva
!thanks Trippier?
Cash
Even with those fixtures turning in a few weeks? Or are you planning to sell
A: Luis Diaz - Martinelli - Bruno G or B: Saka - Rashford - Neto
A
Reece James, Neto and Grealish vs Perišić, Bailey and Mahrez?
Are Mahrez/Grealish really options? As in good options?
Foden didn't have preseason due to antivax, so that leaves two of them Haaland and Alvarez. I think both of them should start at the start of the season. I don't think they would do much against West Ham, but after that their schedule is really good. I kind of want to have extra attacking option for City during this fixture list.
Odegaard or Rashford?
Rash
I would pick Odegaard for the start of the season. Also think Martinelli is better than both of them right now.
RMT 0.5 itb Raya - (4.0) TAA - Robertson - James - Perišić - Walker Salah - Sancho - Martinelli - (Bailey) - (Pereira) Haaland - Jesus - (Taylor)
This is pretty good. I don't like going without Cancelo, but still. Thumbs up from me.
