Dooby

[prime sigil]

lack of a 7-8 mil striker concerns me but i like the rest i think

[normal cradle]

ye, its fine

like you said, not a fan of going without a 8m striker

but not the end of the world

I guess Foden is a bit of a risk too?

[prime sigil]

yeah foden probably the biggest concern of mine in the front 7

could maybe replace foden with watkins

but obviously i’d be playing 343

[lament valve]

anything itb?

could always go 442

then you get salah + 8m fwd

[prime sigil]

nothing itb

yeah i’m pretty set on salah or kane

don’t like taa for his price

[lament valve]

yeah try a 442

foden to stones

wissa to 8m

[prime sigil]

and think i need a second premium

i’ll have a ponder with that cheers

[tawny hawk]

Would you consider foden down to march?

[prime sigil]

i’d consider foden downgrade

just not to march

maybe a sterling or mcneil

[tawny hawk]

Why not march?

Just curious I'm trying to decide if I want him or sterling myself lol

Triple Brighton doesn't sound bad tbf

Remind me of arsenal prices from last season

[prime sigil]

i just don’t like march as an asset himself

not greedy enough

he’s ok but just seems like he will only get assists

could be wrong

[tawny hawk]

6 g 10 ass last season

[lament valve]

wouldnt triple on brighton, 3 good fix then 2 bad, means you have to ship 3 at once

[tawny hawk]

4 of 6 at Home however

[lament valve]

doesnt change much

[prime sigil]

i won’t triple brighton i have no problems with it but think enciso and mitoma better

[lament valve]

enciso isnt a good pick

honestly think only double or single brighton is the play

Wolves have a good defence at home

7th best goals conceded at home

[prime sigil]

last season however

it’s somewhat relevant but can’t take it into account fully

[dense lintel]

I don’t really get the wissa hype. He wasn’t really nailed last season, was he? And I thought Brentford was looking at buying players.

[prime sigil]

he wasn’t but that’s because toney played in his position

[prime sigil]

thoughts on this?

[dense lintel]

I don’t know about starting with guehi and tete. Might look good for first week but wouldn’t count on them getting cs each gw.

[prime sigil]

yeah i’ve slightly changed this

your point still stands though

got wissa and 3 4.0 defenders

[prime sigil]

@tawny hawk

i’ll decide on kane or salah

that can wait

[tawny hawk]

Oh wissa lmao

Yea you're wild with the 4.0 rotation lol

[prime sigil]

yeah but i can’t pull any money from anywhere right now

[dense lintel]

Apart from having to start a 4.0 each week, you also are quite tied to do changes to for example Chelsea defs.

[prime sigil]

what we thinking

[dense lintel]

Not bad but personally I see the upside in going without salah and getting stones over ake, onana over Johnstone, Nkunku over wissa… even chilwell over Gabriel.

[prime sigil]

yeah i like the salah upside more but i understand your reasoning

i’ve updated this slightly going mart to foden and ake to chilwell

want mart back though

[lament valve]

wouldnt rely on ake to start consitently with gvardiol coming in

[prime sigil]

yeah changed him out

did this before gvardiol

[prime sigil]

.

[lament valve]

oh right

yeah good draft

[prime sigil]

hoping nkunku is fit

already said to you but want mart but going to be difficult to afford

if turner moves could do 4.0 keepers

seems unlikely to work now though

[lament valve]

JP over wissa could be considered

[prime sigil]

yeah i thought that too

not sure if he starts consistently

[lament valve]

i think he starts the first 3

lots of minutes in preseason

can play 10/9

pre europe

[prime sigil]

yeah but then having haaland pedro

makes me very inflexible

difficult to shift him

[lament valve]

salah cash cow

is one of my options

salah and JP to Nkunku and any mid i want

gw3

[prime sigil]

yeah that is a possibility

if salah were to blank first 2 weeks i would probably sell

[lament valve]

so much up in the air rn tho

just need comm shield

[prime sigil]

salah gw2 captain is quite a nice differential

if it goes wrong as you said if all goes well i’ve got 2 ft

to sell salah and jump on another in form player and someone else

[prime sigil]

anything i should change

0.0 btw

[lament valve]

just gotta debate chilwell vs dias/stones tbh

[prime sigil]

Lol

happy enough to downgrade onana to a 4.5

[lament valve]

doesnt really do much for you

assuming youre happy with wissa/jackson

[prime sigil]

if there is anything you’d do for .5 to the main team

[lament valve]

?

[prime sigil]

yeah think so

Just said lol

[lament valve]

yeah why

[prime sigil]

i wanted mart but can’t afford him

[lament valve]

if you wanna risk

[prime sigil]

hit me

[lament valve]

you can do Saka to mart, and get foden for mitoma

onana to 4.5

[prime sigil]

the saka to mart thing is interesting

the main problem with this atm is i want 5 mids

bruno saka salah mitoma mart

[lament valve]

i mean

[prime sigil]

but can only really afford 4

[lament valve]

jackson to foden is doable

[prime sigil]

yeah i could get foden

not sure i want to though

tomorrow will spice it up i’m sure

[lament valve]

yeah news recently has fucked it all

completely changed my team now

and its okay ig

[prime sigil]

i like this aswell cuz if shit hits the fan and salah flops i can get to anyone because he’s 3.5 mil more expensive than basically anyone else

[lament valve]

yeah

[prime sigil]

i would’ve gone nkunku

[lament valve]

i dont think salah will do badly

[prime sigil]

nor do i

[lament valve]

but i also think that if you go no salah you arent missing out on much

[prime sigil]

also like i can cap him in gw2

always been fix oriented

[prime sigil]

yeah i’m just not keen on rash+ bruno and watkins

so it makes little sense to go there

[lament valve]

neither

but having the key assets from top 6 teams will come good imo

[prime sigil]

my no salah team

[lament valve]

id still rather play chilwell over guehi

mines similar

got foden in basically

[prime sigil]

yeah like for me watkins foden and rashford i’m not all that keen on

so it makes sense for me to go salah

because i quite like wissa and jackson

[lament valve]

yeah makes sense

watkins is okay

i prefer diaby tbh

but need that fwd slot

i like foden tbh

depends on shield tho

and i can get any mid i want with rash

apart from kdb/salah

[prime sigil]

yeah i can’t fault your team at all

as i said i’m unsure on foden but he could bang

[lament valve]

best team itl with best fixtures

worth the risk imo

[prime sigil]

yeah i understand it totally

i’ve always picked the wrong city mid

i’d be tempted to go bilva too

[lament valve]

yeah underrated

but fodens output can be nuts

[prime sigil]

yeah definitely

basically considering my last attacker

foden jackson nkunku all in my thinking

[dense lintel]

Mines really similar. Except for Stones and Chilwell instead of Dias and Gabriel. Also want to get Shaw. But leaves me with 4 viable defs.

[lament valve]

Where did you get the 0.5 from, Foden to 6.5 and then onana + chilwell?

[dense lintel]

This is what I had but been changing it again to Johnstone and shaw.

[lament valve]

Not a fan of ode

Overperformed on output and unlikely to play the same role with havertz next to him

But solid team still

[dense lintel]

Ode can just as well be Bruno.

Apparently I got marti to make funds to do this.

[prime sigil]

feel like you may be off foden now

[lament valve]

what you cooking rn dooby

[prime sigil]

this

[obtuse star]

do wolves have decent fixtures?

[prime sigil]

placeholder

hoping turner gets his move

[prime sigil]

No

and he’s not going to drop value if i have to hold him

0.5

%

[obtuse star]

1 drop is that essentially

[lament valve]

Dias Pedro vs Gabriel Wissa

[prime sigil]

First 7 are Man U brighton Everton palace liverpool luton city

[prime sigil]

Pedro is on my bench

[lament valve]

why lmao

[prime sigil]

none of em play as of now so may aswell make sure i don’t just lose money

[lament valve]

benching him when he has the best fixture in the game

[prime sigil]

Yeah but my starting 2 are Jackson and haaland

would anyone make whole scale changes to this

[lament valve]

just get a 4.5 then

[obtuse star]

I meant to say a 0.1 drop is essentially a 0.5 drop

But yeah

[lament valve]

i mean mine is this different

but idk what more you can do with a salah draft

[prime sigil]

i’d have dias over chilwell

Idk how to change my team

not gabriel

@lament valve

Martinelli or odegaard?

mart ez

[lament valve]

not sure after today

[obtuse star]

do you prefer him over stones

[lament valve]

ode played very well

[prime sigil]

think so

[lament valve]

and mart was limited with havertz

[prime sigil]

Yeah idk why arsenal would sign him

[prime sigil]

less likely to be early subbed

Singing havertz was such a dead singing

[obtuse star]

xMins >

[prime sigil]

and think stones ‘attacking’ threat is overstated

[prime sigil]

W

dias would be the one i’d get

I’ve got stones but I’m thinking about changing him

seems like he’s score gunna score a corner goal too

have a feeling

@prime sigil

yes

How good is Burnley’s fans

I’ve seen their fans away when they played us and they weren’t great but idk how good at home

our fans are ok

we have a loyal fan base alot older

also you have the excuse of supporting either manchester club if your from burnley

so that takes a lot of fans

True lol

our home support is quite good

I like it when Burnley in the pl

away is naff

Away ain’t great

But when we played u guys

Pope was amazing

But we won 1-0 pen

yeah i mean the thing is for us too it’s a 3-4 hour trip to london

a lot can’t be bothered

Yeah

8 hour round trip

I can see why

but it will be buzzing friday wish i could go

Yeah but I think it will be closer then people think

think it won’t be a walk over see us losing though

Yeah

I think 3-0

yeah i really hope so

i think it’ll be 2-1

city

Damm

defo think we score

The scenes if u win tho

Everyone would be fucking buzzing lol

yeah take over Manchester for the night

Can’t see it tho

as long as our heads don’t drop because of our tough start

we should be fine

saving grace is a lot of our tough games are at home

Yeah

Feel bad that you got city first

best time to play them

they normally start slow

Nah I think last

and it’s first game we will be fired up

They will probably have won the league by the last game

yeah but in terms of first half of season

you want them right away

True

they normally don’t do a lot of pre season

Just to get it out the way

Yeah true

at their weakest

don’t expect a win just hope we play well

I think haaland stinks tho

I gotta captain

But I think he will have a rotter

if some other premium had a better fix id be tempted

but salah and kane

both have tougher games than haaland

[lament valve]

this is the exact same as last year

[prime sigil]

True

What

[prime sigil]

?

[lament valve]

haaland hits crossbar in community shield so people get rid, then he scores 36

[prime sigil]

True lol

i was one of them

lmao

My first fpl team last season was sass

Ass

Almost everyone had Neto tho

i went bailey

wasn’t any better

Fr

[lament valve]

i went mart

warra decision

[prime sigil]

yeah wise man

Just hope it ain’t mbuemo and mitoma this szn

[lament valve]

but also 532

not so good

[prime sigil]

i didn’t go mart off the start last year

diaz>robbo was my best decision

I went 451 last season with ronaldo up top

For only the first game tho

i went kane

Then realised haaland was a fucking beast

and sunday night switched to haalsnd

Lol

No one should have Kane in their team rn

agreed

too much uncertainty

[lavish patio]

@lament valve is having watkins and diaby bad?

should i just have one

[prime sigil]

look at them individually

[lament valve]

no

its fine

[prime sigil]

It’s not bad but I wouldn’t

Cuz if villa don’t score you get like 2 points

[lament valve]

you can say that for literally anything

youre playing the odds

if villa do score you get a goal and assist

[prime sigil]

i just realised

i only want mart if trossard plays up top

seems like he won’t

[lament valve]

yeah its unfortunate

[prime sigil]

not consistently anyway

Yes

[lament valve]

ive gone off him

[prime sigil]

so it helps me quite a lot

[lament valve]

maddison maybe

[lavish patio]

cuz im thinking watkins or jackson, then on the other hand mbeumo, mitoma (not transferring) and diaby

so i gotta mix and match

[prime sigil]

If Kane stays good pick

[lament valve]

2 6.5s isnt ideal

[lavish patio]

no i mean picking between them lol

[lament valve]

hed still be okay regardless

well if you get watkins id get mitoma

[prime sigil]

jackson and mitoma would be my choice

[lavish patio]

im not gonna use a transfer on him lol

[lament valve]

depends how long term or short term your team is

[prime sigil]

can probably tell that off my team though

Lol

[lavish patio]

alrdy know which 2 im transferring

so i might just keep mitoma through the tough fixtures

[lament valve]

if you have a lot of punts, then diaby is safer/better long term

[prime sigil]

👍

[lavish patio]

or i can go diaby or mbeumo

[prime sigil]

Mbuemo

[lavish patio]

seems like ur not a fan of mbeumo

[lament valve]

diaby

[prime sigil]

@lament valve Why

[lament valve]

hes a poor finisher

[prime sigil]

If you have Watkins you don’t need diaby

[lament valve]

that makes no sense

Why would i get fernandes if i have rashford

[prime sigil]

attackers are individual

that’s like saying i can’t have 2 of any attack

it’s silly

i understand the logic but it’s silly

[lament valve]

works for defence because they all get the cs but attack its individual so doesnt work

[lavish patio]

or i can go jackson and diaby

[prime sigil]

I see what ur saying but if it was city or smth your gaurnteed points but it’s villa so I wouldn’t risk it

[lavish patio]

but i def think watkins > jackson especially since nkunku is out

[prime sigil]

Garunteed

[lament valve]

diaby is oop playing ss rn

[lament valve]

agreed, but that also means hes on pens now

[prime sigil]

Everyone knows diaby is sick tbh

[lament valve]

watkins and diaby are both good picks

jackson a good pick too imo

depends what you do with the 1m

[prime sigil]

Yeah

[lavish patio]

james?

[lament valve]

nah

[prime sigil]

Idk about that one chief

[lavish patio]

who was their pen taker last season

[lament valve]

jackson took one in preseason iirc

[prime sigil]

Yeah

[lavish patio]

havertz

last season but he gone

[prime sigil]

Who’s ur attackers

[lament valve]

not really set on a team rn tbh

[lavish patio]

jackson leaves me with 1.5 on the table

[lament valve]

but this rn

[lavish patio]

will be 0.5 after gw3 transfers

[prime sigil]

Not bad

I change my team about 90 times a day

[prime sigil]

that’s nice

yeah i think salah is the way

can still make a crackin team

[lament valve]

Maddison, Fernandes, 5.0 def or Diaby, Rash, 5.5 def

[lavish patio]

diaby rash

[lament valve]

yeah fair

might get onana

waiting for more keeper analysis

[prime sigil]

second

not sold on onana tbh

he will probably do well but think johnstone could rival him

and if he cleans he’s probably on for a haul

[lament valve]

yeah like i said waiting for analysis

[prime sigil]

onana could just get 6

pretty easily

[prime sigil]

yeah fair enough

[lament valve]

nah onana steals his bps from his defenders tbh

[prime sigil]

yeah but if united win 4-0

he’s getting 6

[lament valve]

i think onana scores more but their value is exact same

[prime sigil]

unless he’s made saves

palace aren’t beating anyone by more than a couple goals

so think johnstone bonus could be nice

[lament valve]

yeah agree

fixtures arent ideal long term

19th best 10

fix from gw10 are good tho tbf

[prime sigil]

Lol

Guys

he rotates well with turner if he goes

covers the arsenal and villa fix

Who’s the most underpriced player ?

[lament valve]

tbf you dont need to convince me ive been on him day 1 haha

we wont know tbh

but rn pedro imo

[prime sigil]

yeah i’d say wissa

[lament valve]

bha attacker on pens for 5.5

[prime sigil]

think he should be 7 and he’s 6

[lament valve]

no way

6.5 max

[prime sigil]

did really well in toneys absence

[lavish patio]

where do u get these stats from btw

[prime sigil]

4 goals in the last 5

[lament valve]

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/timbayer/viz/PremierLeagueFixtures2324/PLFixtures

fix ticker

[prime sigil]

Who?

[lavish patio]

u transferring him out when fixtures get tough righ

[lament valve]

maybe

to wissa potentially

or downgrade mid upgrade him

main downside of him is price ironically

DCL if firing

[prime sigil]

Bro

[lament valve]

wissa 0.3 xg90 not great

[lavish patio]

to make sure im using this right

brentford has the best fixtures in the first 10 gws

[prime sigil]

Some kid on tt said Saliba best cb oat

[lament valve]

yeah

[prime sigil]

can finish though

think it’ll improve slightly

[lament valve]

its using data from last season tho, so pinch of salt

[lament valve]

maybe but not too much data, definitely wouldnt say underpriced considering DCL the exact same

I think he will do alright

not game breaking tho

[lavish patio]

seeing this makes me wanna go mbeumo 😂

brentford and aston villa top 2

watkins and mbeumo

i dont wanna transfer watkins to nkunku and then have watkins pop off lol

defense is set i just need to figure out this mid forward problem

[lament valve]

Good fix is relative tho

Everton have some of the best fix

But Everton are shit

Doesn't mean they will do well

Could always start with Watkins and jackson

[prime sigil]

doubt you wildcard after gw8

[lament valve]

No need to get nkunku

[lament valve]

Lot of people wanna WC 18 I think cos city blank

And early IB

Usually gw8 wildcard due to IB

But it's gw4 maybe this year idk

[lavish patio]

im playing 352

[lament valve]

Yeah and I'm suggesting you could play 343

Saves you a future transfer

What is your team rn

[lavish patio]

pretty template just need to fill in these 2 slots

[lament valve]

Itb?

[prime sigil]

fixture swing at 8 so my rough estimate is there

[lavish patio]

15m

but i want 0.5 itb at the end minimum

[lament valve]

Why

If you like your team and it has 0 itb it's fine

[prime sigil]

mitoma jackson

[lament valve]

Jackson and Watkins imo

[lavish patio]

yea i did some wrong calcs

[lavish patio]

as i said not transferring mitoma when fixtures get tuff thats why im hesitating

[prime sigil]

oh sorry

jackson watkins then yeah

[lament valve]

If I was going 343 no Salah I'd have what you have basically

[lavish patio]

i need a 4.5 mid

[prime sigil]

nakamba

if you just want him to play

[lavish patio]

anderson?

[lavish patio]

oh idk whos the best 4.5 mid

[lament valve]

You'll want 3 new at some point

Nakamba for 2 points is fine

[prime sigil]

who have you got?

[lavish patio]

ok if i wanna bring in nkunku i gotta double up on the chelsea attack

[lament valve]

Nakamba

[lavish patio]

thats annoying but fine prolly

[lament valve]

I think Jackson is better than nkunku tbh

Apart from pens

Which he has until nkunku is back

[lavish patio]

nkunku i like over both so yea

i want him in eventually no better time than after gw2

[lament valve]

Yeah Watkins can downgrade whenever

[lavish patio]

still time tho so ill think about it over the next bit

[lament valve]

But if Watkins is good then you have jackson

Works out for you imo

[lavish patio]

yea i guess

[prime sigil]

does jackson have pens?

[lament valve]

I believe so

Only person he was competing with for them was nkunku

He has them at least until he's back

[prime sigil]

sweet

[dense lintel]

Correct. Still see him start on Friday. But yesterday’s shown us he can be benched any good day. Not sure yet what to do instead. Go Pedro on a 343 or not.

[prime sigil]

yeah he’s got a similar issue i suppose

off the start i’m steering clear of rotation risks

has burnt me before and a lot of reliable assets

saves the headache

[lament valve]

@prime sigil lad

what you wanna know #fpl_chat is lost

[prime sigil]

ello

was just wondering if i should get mbuemo instead of wissa

[lament valve]

whats your team again

send it

[prime sigil]

would need to downgrade rash to bruno or ditch jackson

[lament valve]

nah

only cos you dont want 2 6.5 mids

[prime sigil]

why not

[lament valve]

poor structure

its not ideal

you cant really move between them due to price rises

[prime sigil]

true i suppose

[lament valve]

and hard to upgrade, considering you wont be able to downgrade them

[prime sigil]

just trying to figure out who’s the better asset

[lament valve]

in isolation id say mbeumo

[prime sigil]

leaning wissa because i want jackson

[lament valve]

0.5 for pens is always worth

but for your team id say wissa

[prime sigil]

i think i like rashford over bruno

[lament valve]

on the fence rn

[prime sigil]

so id be reluctant to move him down to get mbuemo

[lament valve]

but bruno gives me madders

rashford kinda isolated up top

hojlund only makes him worse, and only makes bruno better

[prime sigil]

i think rashford hojlund can co exist

besides doubt he becomes a big factor till after the arsenal game

[lament valve]

yeah they can of course, but distribution of chances means rash is worse

[prime sigil]

if he’s injured anyway

but surely weghorst was getting the chances

just didn’t score them

[lament valve]

100 chances created last season for example and 75 go to rash, this season its 40

assumptions but thats the point

weghorst was played as a target man hold up player, not a number 9

he held up play for the wingers

[prime sigil]

yeah true i suppose

i just like goal threat over assist threat

[lament valve]

fernandes has both

2 seasons ago he was 12.0

[prime sigil]

his goal threat is minimal

0.2XG per 90 last season

[lament valve]

2020 fernandes

[lament valve]

pretty sure they had 0 pens

[prime sigil]

yeah that’s 2020 though

also mount worries me

[lament valve]

nah

bruno way more advanced

[prime sigil]

ETH could play with 2 8’s

which would be bruno and mount

which hinders him

[lament valve]

regardless bruno been way more advanced

[prime sigil]

yeah it’s always an option

[lament valve]

had this debate earlier in fpl chat, mun fans saying fernandes was a lot more advanced

and rash isolated

both will be good

at the end of the day

[prime sigil]

yeah it’s just which one for me

can’t have both

[lament valve]

but with 100min games i want players for that

and bruno is arguably the most nailed player itl

[prime sigil]

yeah that’s also a factor

i’ve considered that

need to have a think

about those 2

[lament valve]

part of the reason i went salah

just think bruno is more reliable

rash patchy

[prime sigil]

yeah rash is either very hot or very cold

bruno more consistent

[lament valve]

its ultimately a 5050

same with all the keepers and most of our decisions

luck is all the difference

[prime sigil]

wolves and forest seem like a bruno game

spurs seems like a rashford game

low blocks and shit like that

[lament valve]

yeah kinda agree

thing is

if rash scores

feel like half the time its a bruno assist

[prime sigil]

yeah bruno very good for bps

if he gets a return then he’s normally on for bonus

[prime sigil]

.

@tawny hawk

[tawny hawk]

Yo

[prime sigil]

it’s salah

but similar concept

[tawny hawk]

Wish it could fit in man u defense

[prime sigil]

i’m not keen on united defence

but you could just move rash down to bruno and get onana in the net

[tawny hawk]

Mehh

Need rash

It's tough

I feel like Ollie Watkins can do really well this season

[prime sigil]

united first 5 from a defensive perspective is tough

[tawny hawk]

Agreed

[prime sigil]

could do rash down to mart and then jackson to watkins

[tawny hawk]

I planned to flip their defense out certain weeks

[prime sigil]

i’d be tempted to get shaw for estu like gw7

but off the start i think i’m going to leave it

also think DDG saved them quite a few cleans last season

[tawny hawk]

Hmmm

Kane staying makes this so hard lol

I just wonder if Ollie can rival him

Cause that team is really balanced

[prime sigil]

the one i have or the onemiums?

[tawny hawk]

Onemium with watkins

[prime sigil]

i think kane does well it’s just salah rotates better with haaland for captaincy

bou and wolves for salah

[tawny hawk]

I'd rarely cap Kane

[prime sigil]

little point then

[tawny hawk]

Ugh

[prime sigil]

i plan on captaining salah somewhat regularly

but if you don’t plan on it they aren’t worth 12.5

[tawny hawk]

Yea he felt better last year at 11.5 start

Salah being a mid is that extra pt boost

[prime sigil]

yeah just for the goal no chance he gets any cleans

the flaw with my team is probably not having an abundance of 7.5-9 mil mids

but tbh i’m not all that keen on them

but on the whole i think it’s balanced

and i can get to a onemium pretty easily if salah shits the bed

salah has a 2 week trial

[dense lintel]

This somehow looks very tempting. Or should I make space for at least one 6.5mid for structure reasons?

[prime sigil]

too much on the bench for my liking

but yeah looks fine

[dense lintel]

I know, but can't decide who to drop in the defense. Plus, don't see where to spend the extra cash on in that case.

[prime sigil]

if it was me i’d drop stones to a 4 and upgrade pedro to jackson

[dense lintel]

don't know, for now rather have Pedro than Jackson.

[prime sigil]

yeah that’s fair enough

for my team personally may get maddison in over jackson

[dense lintel]

now that I've been looking at it, midfield with only ManU and Arsenal players looks dodgy. Though wouldn't really know who to get otherwise. At least without enforcing the bench even more 🙂

or it would be Shaw to Gabriel, Rash to Salah, Martinelli to Mitoma.

[prime sigil]

see for me that’s worth it

[dense lintel]

gonna think on it. Do like Shaw

[prime sigil]

i’m not keen on united defence myself

it’s all preference at the end of the day

[dense lintel]

and was always a Rash over Bruno guy 🙂

Shaw has attacking threat and BPS potential.

[lament valve]

he wont do as well as last season tbh

less bps available cos their attack is better

and onana might steal some

attacking threat the same ig

but hes never been exceptional

[dense lintel]

He sure was exceptional last year. Don’t think Onana is taking much more bps off him than DDG.

[lament valve]

youd be surprised

hes gonna average at least 6 more bps a game than ddg

due to passes

[slate lintel]

Chilwell or Shaw over Walker? I have 0.5 to use, or I could just leave it and keep the 0.5

[prime sigil]

would defo use the .5

walker not nailed at all

if you want a city like for like who’s the most nailed dias is probably your best shout

stones is also a good option

think i prefer chilwell to shaw

not keen on united first 5 fix from a defensive standpoint

[slate lintel]

Yeah ok

Is it a waste to use Stones/Dias for GW1 and then using my transfer to put Chilwell in?

[prime sigil]

i would say so

think if you want to do that start with chilwell

[slate lintel]

Alr

[prime sigil]

don’t think city or chelsea clean first week

[tiny yoke]

this rmt has been going for 23 days????? wtf

[prime sigil]

may be slightly bias but think we score

[slate lintel]

That is certainly punchy

[prime sigil]

yeah kept the same one going

[prime sigil]

good going forward shit going backward

burnley that is

[slate lintel]

Interesting

Haaland triple capt GW1?

Worked for me last time

[prime sigil]

think he scores 1 or 2

wait for double gameweeks

for chips

[slate lintel]

Yeah

[tiny yoke]

is jao pedro a sure starter?

[slate lintel]

Ok will think about Stones/Dias or Chilwell then

[prime sigil]

no

[prime sigil]

chilwell is my pick but it’s all preference

got a few differences but most are coin flips

[tiny yoke]

is areola a first choice keeper?

[slate lintel]

Nah

Well maybe more than last season

He seems to be the main cup keeper

I still think Pickford > Johnstone

[prime sigil]

yeah that’s fair enough

think they are the 2 best ones

just like palace defence more myself

concede low XG shots

[slate lintel]

I was personally convinced Dyche's goalkeeper record on FPL

I think they'll have a similar defense to Palace as long as Keane doesn't touch the pitch

[prime sigil]

yeah tark may be injured

so we will see how long he’s out

hodgson likes to defend too so think johnstone turner rotation is very nice

[slate lintel]

Honestly yeah I might change idk

[prime sigil]

either is fine imo

would’ve gone pickford if turner didn’t go forest

[slate lintel]

Haaland + Salah is supreme

Jackson is a risk

[floral marten]

go jackson to jp(with money itb) and mitoma to eze/diaby

and then get jackson gw 3 if u want

[prime sigil]

yeah jackson is a risk

got 0.0 btw

just for reference

think i like mitoma as the 6.5

the most secure like his fix

[floral marten]

jp>mitoma

[prime sigil]

will probably twist to the other performing 6.5

do we think jp starts 3/3

have considered jp maddison as alternatives to wissa and jackson

as a result would get mbuemo rather than mitoma

[floral marten]

yeah that makes sense

only problem is you would have jp long term

difficult to get him out

[prime sigil]

yeah exactly

what i have is probably as flexible as you can get for a haaland salah draft

[floral marten]

.

i prefer this

[prime sigil]

yeah fair enough

not sold on jp myself

jp and wissa very risky off the start

[floral marten]

[prime sigil]

like mitomas minutes in this new world of 90+15 stoppage

my team do normally start and stay on the majority of games outside maybe chilwell

but he’s a defender so it’s probably not a bad thing

[floral marten]

but hes so bad in front of goal

idk

[prime sigil]

is he really?

[floral marten]

surely rdz doesnt sign someone for 40m to bench

[floral marten]

horrendous

[prime sigil]

kudus is other side

[floral marten]

kudus signed alr?

[prime sigil]

affects march

no he hasn’t

but if he does

plays CAM and RW

[floral marten]

i think he will play cam

[prime sigil]

that shits on pedro then

if he joins that is

[floral marten]

maybe

pedro can play 9 too

idk tbh

[lament valve]

Doubt they get two record signings in the same position

Makes no sense

So RW most likely

[slate lintel]

Brighton played a 442 in their most recent friendly where Pedro dropped deep so maybe we’ll see more of that

Especially bc teams usually play more or less their strongest available lineup in their last friendly

I still think Mbuemo > Mitoma since he’s gonna be the main attacking outlet for a decent attacking side this season, whereas Mitoma is just another cog in a great system where goals are shared around

[dense lintel]

Think I’m losing it completely 😅 idea is: Diaby to cover Watkins. Pedro can easily become Wissa if he shows more promise.

[lament valve]

attacking players cannot cover other attacking players

But the team is fine

0.5itb

[dense lintel]

Well not cover for him ok, but at least it’s another way into villa’s attack.

Still not at all clear on whether to go Salah or not. I’m as far from my final draft as ever…

[prime sigil]

i’m a salah advocate but that’s just me

[dense lintel]

My main reason for salah is so the midfield is a bit varied. Otherwise I’d end up with double arse and double ManU.

[prime sigil]

if you think those individuals score it’s not an issue

[dense lintel]

No idea really. Maddison and Diaby can turn out good but still do feel like punts.

[prime sigil]

tbh i really like your current team

[dense lintel]

Thanks! Nice to hear some reassuring words for a change. Getting sick of changing constantly

[amber knot]

Its a very nice team

[lament valve]

I mean my only difference is Jackson over diaby so yeah nice team

[dense lintel]

I don’t wanna go for Jackson. Rather take Watkins and do Maddison to 6.5m

[lament valve]

I love maddo

Love Watkins too

If I could get both I would but not worth it

Think Jackson will come good imo

Passes eye test, statistically good finisher, possibly on pens with a great fix run

[dense lintel]

Jackson is a bit too soon for me to go for. Chelsea hasn’t convinced me yet. Don’t have great attacking numbers.

[lament valve]

I completely understand anyone who doesn't go there

I just think pool and Whu are great attacking fix, and think I'll get ahead of the crowd

[amber knot]

Joao Pedro is super annoying to get rid of, jackson less so

[dense lintel]

I’m happy with just Chilwell for now.

[dense lintel]

That’s why I first had Watkins. I have half a mil to possibly do Pedro to Wissa. Or just as well bruno to rash or Maddi to marti. We’ll see.

[amber knot]

Ye i’m doing this. Pedro is the only headache

[dense lintel]

Trossard would be my main concern though.

[amber knot]

Nah. Looked great and easy to turn into a 6.5

Not concerned

[dense lintel]

Well you’re not sure about his minutes. So you should.

[lament valve]

Pedro is a future problem, CBA to sort that out now

[amber knot]

I can imagine a Trossard against a tired defense. Not concerned really

[dense lintel]

Weird flex. But if you think so, go for him.

[lament valve]

Doubt he starts

He's always good enough but never starts

Arteta got blackmail on him or smth

[dense lintel]

Me too. But he says he doesn’t mind if he comes in as a sub.

[lament valve]

People say that until it actually happens

[amber knot]

Hes only 7m so not the riskiest of punts

[dense lintel]

Better go for a 6.5 nailed starter and do Udogie to a 5.0.

[lament valve]

If you're gonna punt on 7m then at least let them start

[prime sigil]

it’s very minor differences between our teams

[prime sigil]

roast me and make me insecure x

[amber knot]

I love it

🔒

[prime sigil]

cheers man

could twist on jackson

would move to a 7-7.5

unless ortega started tomorrow then i’d get watkins

[amber knot]

Hes 4m?

Wouldnt it royally suck to get stuck with a 4m keeper?

[prime sigil]

yeah maybe

but if ortega were to start i would find it hard to pass down

[dense lintel]

nothing wrong about it. Personally I want Maddison in there, and less fan of Jackson.
