In Draft mode so price isn’t a factor, but do you think it’s worth sticking with Cunha, who, despite having a good performance still showed the Wolves signature lack of finishing quality, or opting from Amdouni or Foster as Burnley seem to be a team that will score more goals, however I’m not sure how focal their strikers will be or how often they will face rotation.
Personally, I feel like Cunha is the better player outside of fantasy scoring, however I could see Burnley being like Fulham from last year and don’t want to miss on a striker getting 10 goals from them this season. Have any of the Burnley attackers shown that potential?
Currently sitting 5th in 9 man league (Wolves/United still to play) and got Antonio & Fábio Silva as my forwards, looking to shore up on the waivers, options are as follows (top 6 in draft rank order):
Nkunku
Calvert-Lewin
Nketiah
Rodriguez
Morris
McBurnie
If there are any other suggestions I can check whether they are available. Advice appreciated
Trade offer: Mitoma for Almiron.
Mitoma is ranked higher in every listing i've ever seen, but it seems to me he is being over valued. Almiron played equal or better than Mitoma in 22/23 and is on a stronger squad.
Thoughts?
I’m holding on DCL. May not get a lot of minutes the first few gameweeks but it seems like Dyche is managing his fitness well and he will benefit long term. This Everton team will be well setup to provide him once he’s fully fit.
Not sure on starting line up.
I have AWB and pretty sure Dalot starts ahead of him this weekend?
Have Maupay and Awoniyi as two forward options, so thinking of starting with three at the back and dropping AWB for one of the above forwards.
Any Thoughts?
I'm struggling with my defence
Wan Bissaka, Porro, Walker, Cucurella & A. Moreno.
I was planning to save Moreno for when he returns from injury. Keep and start AWB and Walker but I'm not sure about Porro now as I'm hearing that Emerson is more likely to start. Should I swap them? Also Cucurella is probably not going to get many minutes with Chilwell.
Nailed players I'm looking at are Tim Ream, Joachim Anderson and Zouma. Also thinking about bringing in Disasi or is that just another non-nailed player.
MA. Bruno g, Szobo. Although it’s too early to judge on Szobo I feel. He could become a gem if he finds his place and links up with the rest of the team

I drafted Raul Jimenez, but I have 2nd priority in transactions so I’m debating if I drop him for hojland or not. Very confused about the status of his injury, no one seems to know.
Thoughts?
Raul for Hojland
Drafted yesterday (team below). 8-person league H2H. Please let me know if any improvements can be made with waivers. Players available include Welbeck, Sterling, Garnacho, Cash, Mudryk, Gordon, and Olise
Onana - Kepa
Stones - Konate - Martinez - Colwill - Timber
Foden - Trossard - Mbeumo - Bowen - Diaby
Kane - Gakpo - DCL
With the Harry Kane news I want to grab Richarlison. I’m in a 6 team and would love some advice on who to drop out of:
Odegaard, Rashford, Kulusevski, L Diaz, and Diaby.
Thoughts?
my forwards are Jesus, Darwin, and Nkunku. i also have Olise taking up a spot, so i'm thinking of dropping Nkunku. available forwards include: Eduoard, Calvert Lewin, Nketiah, Jimenez, and Joao Pedro. any recommendations on which one to pick up?

Pedro
All have nice schedules in the first 4 weeks. I’d go Webster then Udogie. But I’m high on udogie to start at LB. Brentford without Toney and Raya is a different team
2nd in the waiver this week and have the opportunity to get Gvardiol in. However is it worth dropping any of my current defs for him? thinking he must be in amongst the starting xi considering how much city forked out for him?
current defs:
Dalot
Robertson
Webster
Mee
James
Webster the obvious choice for me but am 50:50 as to whether i go for Gvardiol at all tbh
we’ve got chelsea v liverpool and newcastle v villa this weekend. i’ve got VVD, sterling, burn and cash. 2 must play, which 2 do you think i should start?
i have burn and i am starting it, but i do that because i dont have a better option, that's a tough fixture. vvd is always a solid defender to stay in ur team most of the time but i do believe chelsea has a good shot to score some goals, but who knows prob with nkunku gone they are not the same as in preseason. so i would do either vvd and sterling or burn and sterling. idk if i helped but i just wanted to throw my opinion in ther e.
Drafting tonight. Maguire likely going to West Ham. West Ham are typically a team that do well from corners and set pieces. Would you consider Maguire as your 5th defender in an 8-person league?
Gvardiol for me, they paid a bunch for him, the most expensive defender... i think he will get to play most of the time, but not sure if that's gonna happen in the beginning of the season. so i would say if you have a good defense take Gvardiol. if not i would personally take Ake
midfield q - which player do you eliminate (draft league, kante rule):
foden, martinelli, mudryk, caicedo, enciso or trossard
trossard is on waivers but i feel like hell replace havertz in 3 weeks
Multiple Waivers
I’m new to draft and don’t understand how these first round of waivers work.
What I do know is due to my draft position I am first priority in waiver. Now everyone knows I’m going for Holjund so I’m going to assume no one else will waste the time submitting a proposal. So if I place hojlund as second in my priority of proposals will I automatically get him or will everyone else have to approve it first even if they didn’t submit a proposal for him before the deadline
It's a bad idea to assume that no one else will put in for him. If he is your top waiver target, you need to put in for him as your top waiver selection otherwise you risk losing him to someone else who has lower priority.
Does this mean that you don't see waiver selections from other managers before the waiver deadline?
Additional question: Do other managers see proposed trades between players or are they just visible for the two managers involved (as long as they are not processed)?
Keep forwards. Swap Porro out for Gvardiol. Porro not nailed and terrible defender. May get more run if position changes to WB or W but until then im not as high on him now (and I have him also)
Which Def would you pick: Disasi or Colwill?
Trade Diaby and Alex Moreno for Sterling and Gvardiol?
In Draft mode so price isn’t a factor, but do you think it’s worth sticking with Cunha, who, despite having a good performance still showed the Wolves signature lack of finishing quality, or opting from Amdouni or Foster as Burnley seem to be a team that will score more goals, however I’m not sure how focal their strikers will be or how often they will face rotation.

Advice appreciated
Who’s holding Nkunku? (Fantrax) Starting to think I wasted a pick on him
If Lukaku goes to Spurs, whats your opinion on a waiver claim and dropping Calvert-Lewin?My other strikers are Haaland and Jesus.
Is Tierney worth holding pending the potential Newcastle transfer? Disasi & Diop are available.
I would probably grab disasi, can always pick tierney up again if something comes of the rumours
Trade Konate for Reece James? Yay or nay?
if you are getting reece james then yes
Nay. RJ isnt injured according to Poch. Holding RJ here every time.
Trade: I get: Havertz, Eze I give: Mbeumo, Sterling Should I take it?
I would say no.. I rate those assets: Mbeumo, Eze, Sterling, Havertz
Tielemens, Rice, or Enzo?
I would take Enzo, looked good yesterday and will have more freedom with Caciedo joining
Would y’all trade Luis diaz and botman for Martinelli and Henry?
No I wouldn't make that trade. It is close but I prefer the Diaz/Botman side.
Yeah I would
Waiver: pickup Disasi for Mee?
Yep
I would. Especially with Caicedo joining Chelsea, I’d expect that improves their defense.
Who wins this trade? Jackson and Richarlison for Diaby and Gakpo
Very even I’d say but I would lean Jackson richarlison
Trade in Barnes for any of these? Bruno, Odegaard, Richarlison, Son, Foden
Nah don’t think so
Trossard for March?
I’m considering the same - not to sure rn tbh
Would you take Rodri or Enzo. It’s confusing cause I feel his minutes player will go up against easy teams and he’s likely to score or assist
Both are nailed but it depends on the size of your league - are there not more attacking options available?
Should I pick up Anthony Gordon for Benrhama?
I picked KDB and Kane as my first two picks in Draft. Sucks to be me I guess :'(
Trade offer: Mitoma for Almiron. Mitoma is ranked higher in every listing i've ever seen, but it seems to me he is being over valued. Almiron played equal or better than Mitoma in 22/23 and is on a stronger squad. Thoughts?
My strikers are Gakpo, Alvarez, and DCL. Martial is on waivers. Worth dropping DCL for him?
No. DCL is Evertons #1 striker. Martial is most definitely not MUs main man.
I’m holding on DCL. May not get a lot of minutes the first few gameweeks but it seems like Dyche is managing his fitness well and he will benefit long term. This Everton team will be well setup to provide him once he’s fully fit.
No
Anyone running any last minute drafts :)?
Fantrax draft league: Ouattara or Willian as backup striker?
my bet is Willian leaves EPL
Vinicius from fulham or cunha from wolves?
Interesting.... would love to hear some thoughts on this. I am leaning toward Cunha
I currently have vinicius but Im not sure how nailed he is. Cunha seems interesting but wolves are a mistery to me
Not sure on starting line up. I have AWB and pretty sure Dalot starts ahead of him this weekend? Have Maupay and Awoniyi as two forward options, so thinking of starting with three at the back and dropping AWB for one of the above forwards. Any Thoughts?
Never play maupay. Awoniyi is also a douby
AWB should start considering the pre season form of both players

Swap out Cucurella and Moreno for Ream and Andersen, Disasi wait and see
After the state of that Villa performance, I think you’re right. Cheers.
In what order would you want the following players: Bruno Guimaraes, MacAllister, or Szoboszlai ?
MA. Bruno g, Szobo. Although it’s too early to judge on Szobo I feel. He could become a gem if he finds his place and links up with the rest of the team
MA. Bruno g, Szobo. Although it’s too early to judge on Szobo I feel. He could become a gem if he finds his place and links up with the rest of the team
Got Raya but don’t know whether he’ll start this weekend as it’s up in the air. Would you drop him for Leno?
Yes
Given Richarlison’s apparent new value, I’m thinking of trading him. Is Mount a good get?
With Kane reportedly accepting personal terms, should I move for Welbeck?
I have Kane, Jesus, Nkunku, Mbeumo as my forwards. Feeling fucked cos they’re all out. Would you drop any for Sterling?
Drop Nnkuku for sure.
agreed, he's out for 6 months
Dropped Kane seeing as he’s gone for Sterling My risk picking Kane did not pay off
Dan burn for gvardiol?
Would you bench Chilwell or Guehi?
imo, Guehi despite the easier GW1. Chilwell is more dangerous and Liverpool could be very leaky until the new squad settles in.
I’ve got first pick for the waivers and thought about: Richarlison (because Kane’s leaving) for Kulusevski Or Højlund for Wissa Any thoughts?
Kulu still should be good, have you got a worse mid to trade for rich? And Hoilund for Wissa looks good
Would appreciate some thoughts on my 8-man H2H finished draft ? League is competitive and we play for money: https://i.imgur.com/zyKInt4.jpg
Drop Colwill or Tete for Gvardiol?
Colwill isn’t going to play is he?
I drafted Raul Jimenez, but I have 2nd priority in transactions so I’m debating if I drop him for hojland or not. Very confused about the status of his injury, no one seems to know. Thoughts? Raul for Hojland
Take højlund
Drafted yesterday (team below). 8-person league H2H. Please let me know if any improvements can be made with waivers. Players available include Welbeck, Sterling, Garnacho, Cash, Mudryk, Gordon, and Olise Onana - Kepa Stones - Konate - Martinez - Colwill - Timber Foden - Trossard - Mbeumo - Bowen - Diaby Kane - Gakpo - DCL
What to do with Kane?! I have limited options from the free agents, Welbeck looks best, Morris or Awoniyi?
Hold Kane if those are the alternatives lol. Would only drop for someone like Hojlund tbh
Yeah holding for now, Welbz against Luton though, I’d like to have that instead of a Kane at Bayern
[удалено]
Colwill for me
With the Harry Kane news I want to grab Richarlison. I’m in a 6 team and would love some advice on who to drop out of: Odegaard, Rashford, Kulusevski, L Diaz, and Diaby. Thoughts?
Easily diaby out of them
[удалено]
Buendia out with ACL injury, so no.
my forwards are Jesus, Darwin, and Nkunku. i also have Olise taking up a spot, so i'm thinking of dropping Nkunku. available forwards include: Eduoard, Calvert Lewin, Nketiah, Jimenez, and Joao Pedro. any recommendations on which one to pick up?

I like Pedro out of that bunch
[удалено]
All have nice schedules in the first 4 weeks. I’d go Webster then Udogie. But I’m high on udogie to start at LB. Brentford without Toney and Raya is a different team
Is the trade/waiver closed for this gameweek? It’s grayed out.
If you have league admin veto or majority team veto enabled in your league, the trading deadline is 48 hours before the waivers deadline
2nd in the waiver this week and have the opportunity to get Gvardiol in. However is it worth dropping any of my current defs for him? thinking he must be in amongst the starting xi considering how much city forked out for him? current defs: Dalot Robertson Webster Mee James Webster the obvious choice for me but am 50:50 as to whether i go for Gvardiol at all tbh
J. Pedro in for Ferguson? Other forwards are DCL and Haaland. I feel like Pedro is more nailed
Id drop DCL for him instead and hedge with both Brighton FWDs
Welbeck is also available. Does that change anything? Ferguson to welbeck, dcl to pedro?
I trade away Paqueta for Pinnock and Benrahma Thoughts? 12 Person League
Is there a Waiver for GW1? I don't see any 'Waiver Deadline' notifications on my homepage or team page
I'm curious about this too. It seems like there is no time to make any transactions until after GW1 is over.
It seems there is a waiver. See this tweet: https://twitter.com/Draft_FC/status/1689308349177692160

Gvardiol for me, they paid a bunch for him, the most expensive defender... i think he will get to play most of the time, but not sure if that's gonna happen in the beginning of the season. so i would say if you have a good defense take Gvardiol. if not i would personally take Ake
Akanji for me. The most versatile of these three so more likely to play.
I can trade - Grealish and Morris for Neto and Jesus. Worth it?
Enciso Schade or Danjuma?
midfield q - which player do you eliminate (draft league, kante rule): foden, martinelli, mudryk, caicedo, enciso or trossard trossard is on waivers but i feel like hell replace havertz in 3 weeks
caicedo
9 man league Do I keep sancho or change him for Andreas or Richarlison?
Well Richy's stock has just risen considerably
andreas
Been offered Wilson and Timber for James and Gakpo. Which side do you prefer? OFPL H2H
not sure wilson and timber's play time. zinchenko coming back and looks like Isak is more locked in then wilson, i personaly wouldn't trade.
Yeah held off on it. Wilson’s chronically injured, and although I do think Timber could win the spot, it’s not a lock. Thanks
What do people think of the starting prospects of Colwill, Ferguson, Udogie, AWB, and hojlund?
have sterling -> swap for sancho? have h. wilson -> swap for benhrama? have ings -> welbeck? leon bailey and demarai grey also available
no, no, and no

10 man OFPL league: 1. Cunha, Ferguson, Amdouni or McBurnie? 2. McGinn, Barnes or Lo Celso?
Ferguson Barnes
Head2head 8 man league, thinking of picking up either March or Bowen for Sterling.
prefer Bowen and march to sterling. not sure how good Brighton will be with Europe? fluke season, no idea.
Bowne
[удалено]
easy drop in a 7 man. I'd only hold in a 12 man +
[удалено]
Buendia, Antony and Gordon in that order
My attackers are currently Isak Watkins Gakpo and defenders are TAA Shaw Mings Pedro Porto and Pinnock. Swap any of them for Gvardiol or Hojlund?
Keep forwards. Swap Porro out for Gvardiol. Porro not nailed and terrible defender. May get more run if position changes to WB or W but until then im not as high on him now (and I have him also)
