its good but im not sure about enciso

tropic fractal
#

Its good but i dont see a reason to have a 5.5m mid who might not start in a onemium

#

Instead of rash/enciso id much rather mart/mitoma

inner relic
#

thanks for the replies guys, i appreciate it @polar anvil @tropic fractal

#

my reasoning behind Enciso is that from 1-3 i'll be having Brighton players, but for 5 of the 6 weeks proceeding that I probably won't be wanting them in my team

#

i know im making a slight sacrifice now and I might lose around 10 points if Mitoma is that much better, but its only for 3 GWs and allows me to havr Trent, Bruno, Rashford, Haaland, Jesus without having to play with two 4.5 defenders

#

I currently am waiting on a transfer and then my GKs will be set too, they currently fluid depending on best combos. I can always downgrade Shaw to a 5.0 and upgrade my keeper to Ramsdale, so that situation might change as well

#

sorry if thats bad reasoning, would appreciate honest criticism of it if it isnt sound

polar anvil
#

now i see

undone lark
#

Enciso isnt even predicted to start tho

inner relic
#

yeah i spent a lot of time putting two 4.5 defenders in my team to fit in Mitoma

polar anvil
#

classic pog

#

Pinnock and shaw to 5.0 and 4.0 enables mitoma

If you dont want brighton players from gw4, would it not make sense to transfer from mitoma to another 6.5m mid (eze, etc.) than from enciso who doesnt have any good 5.5m alternatives and also might not even start gw1-3

inner relic
#

because I knew it would result in a formation change which I really dont want to do either

tropic fractal
#

Rashford/mart is also just a 50/50 swing really the most unpredictable premium mids

inner relic
undone lark
#

Yeah Rashford/6.5 and Mart/Foden is a toss up rn

inner relic
#

Martinelli was always unbelievable when Jesus was in the squad last year so im moving towards him

tropic fractal
#

Bruno to foden could also work

undone lark
tropic fractal
#

Yeah same but i have both just in case

inner relic
#

I love Foden but I just cant risk the rotation

#

Im expecting Bruno to be played further forward, but dunno if this translates into assists with our attackers

undone lark
#

Think its his season tbh, Pep seems to stick with a consistent 11 for the start of the season, and with lots of players leaving foden could be a starter

tropic fractal
#

I feel at least 2 city is essential with their fixs

inner relic
#

his shooting hasnt been great, and we dont win many penalties

tropic fractal
#

But you can easily buy them later if you need

inner relic
#

i love Foden so i hope so

undone lark
tropic fractal
#

If bilva leaves 100% get foden

inner relic
tropic fractal
#

If you sign hojlund you also have to havr bruno

#

For the assists and you wont be as reliant on rashford anymore

undone lark
#

Bruno has missed 1 mun game in his career, is entirely nailed, on pens, assists can only improve

#

id still pick him if him and rash were the same price

tropic fractal
#

Yep

#

Starting to feel like rashford is a trap

inner relic
#

okay you convinced me

#

whos the best 5.5 defender option rn?

tropic fractal
#

Well done for starting areola asw

undone lark
#

Stones/Shaw

tropic fractal
#

Shaw

undone lark
#

dias

#

james

#

depends

tropic fractal
#

Shaw > stones > dias = james imo

#

But i dont have shaw

inner relic
#

or is it better for a 5.0 option?

tropic fractal
#

Went for onana instead

undone lark
#

Id rather have Gabriel tbh

tropic fractal
#

Gabriel is great ye

#

Gabriel, shaw, estu is the best back 3

inner relic
#

im leaning Stones tbh

tropic fractal
inner relic
#

id just feel stupid to not have a Man City defendet considering theyll like get 4/5 clean sheets at the start

tropic fractal
inner relic
#

and he has 7 less bonus points last season than Shaw

#

and way better fixtures

tropic fractal
#

But they leak in a goal a game at the 80th min

#

Good thing with stones is

#

He often comes off early around 65’ so he banks his cs

inner relic
tropic fractal
#

Heaton will be 4.5

undone lark
tropic fractal
#

Oh shit yeah

#

And they cant change it

#

Im just getting a 5.0gk to have perma tbh

inner relic
#

if Pickford ends up being bad Ill downgrade Pinnock to Henry and upgrade Pickford to Onana, depending on if United are decent defensively

tropic fractal
#

Flekken does the same job though tbh

inner relic
#

i looked at Flekken too but think i struggled with his rotation

tropic fractal
#

Pinnock is more than henry?

inner relic
#

0.5

tropic fractal
#

Damn wtf

undone lark
#

idky youd rotate flekken anyway

tropic fractal
#

Why are people going for him then what

undone lark
#

pinnock is 4.5

inner relic
#

shit not Henry

tropic fractal
#

Yeah thought so

inner relic
#

meant Bell

#

tiredness

tropic fractal
#

Rash to ode allows for 5.0gk if you want

inner relic
#

okay after advice new team

#

obviously ignore keepers for now cos theyre fluid, as are end of bench

tropic fractal
#

nice

#

I think our teams are similar

#

Nvm theyre not

undone lark
#

Gabriel, Rashford, 4.0 something to consider over Stones Mart and Pinnock

tropic fractal
#

Prioritise gabriel and pinnock together if ur doing someting like that

#

They rotate very well

inner relic
tropic fractal
#

In gw4 and gw6 are gabriels only bad fixs

#

And this is the rotation

#

Henry BOU(H) > Gabriel MUN(H)
Henry EVE(H) > Gabriel TOT(H)

#

(henry/pinnock)

inner relic
#

only issue with Gabriel over Mart is I wont be able to have Pinnock/Henry due to funds

#

i just hate theres no decent 7.5-8.5 players outside of United & Arsenal

tropic fractal
#

Yeah trents hogging your money

#

Forces you to have 4.5 gk aswell

inner relic
#

i know, i really dont want Trent

undone lark
#

then dont have him

inner relic
#

but im petrified he scores big, then im way behind

#

sorry was half way through writing that and had to sort something

tropic fractal
#

But the chances of that are low compared to the value you get from being able to invest an extra 3.0m into your team

#

That 3.0 will gain you like 10-15 points probably

inner relic
#

so lets say I didnt have Trent, who would I upgrade?

undone lark
#

one of mitoma/mbeumo

#

to a rash

inner relic
#

thats a fair shout straight away

tropic fractal
#

Ngl if u remove trent youll prob end up with my team pretty much so i might asw send it to help u

inner relic
#

i like Mbuemo a lot, but his value would lie in his role in replacing Toney, but it looks like Wissa would do that

tropic fractal
polar anvil
#

i got something similiar to that

inner relic
#

i genuinely want Martinelli a lot, is there a better option at 5.0 in defence than Gabriel?

#

otherwise I think im gonna settle for something like that

polar anvil
tropic fractal
#

Not really unless you can fork out 5.5 for shaw

polar anvil
#

i got wakins up top

tropic fractal
#

Or 5.0 for licha martinez i guess

inner relic
polar anvil
#

watkins

undone lark
#

Alvarez

polar anvil
#

nunez

#

gakpo

polar anvil
undone lark
#

if KDB is out then yes

#

he wanted more game time last season

polar anvil
#

ahh ye

inner relic
#

Nunez i was looking at but Liverpool go off I can easily bring him in. I was leaning towards Watkins but Alverez is a great shout

#

side by side those are my 2 options based on advice

polar anvil
#

both look good

inner relic
#

im leaning more towards the right, if KDB doesnt start the season i might put Alverez in and bring in a 5.5 keeper

polar anvil
#

i dont think a 5.5 keeper is needed imo

inner relic
#

yeah was gonna retract that almost instantly

#

im just stuck with keepers rn. The only 2 5.0 viable options I have are Onana and Spurs new keeper. If I get Onana I can rotate him with Areola but only if he actually starts, otherwise he doesnt have a good rotation. Im happy to drop to 4.5/4.0 but I cant rely on Areola again and I dont see any good 4.0 options outside of Heaton if he moves to Luton. Unless I go for Flekken who has no good rotation with anyone.

Leaves Johnstone for Palace or Henderson for Forest...

#

both have horrendous fixtures to begin with

polar anvil
#

i mean i have onana and areola but I don't think you need to be rotating goalkeepers

polar anvil
#

cuz spurs defo needs better cb's

inner relic
#

i mean Heaton could match up well with Henderson but thats such a stupid risk

polar anvil
#

true

#

there a lot of good 4.5 keepers

inner relic
#

yeah dont know much about Spurs tbh

#

onana/areola seems the lowest risk for me rn

polar anvil
#

ye

#

onana basically a save merchant

undone lark
#

pick a keeper and play them through every fix

#

Raya got a cs and hauled against city last season

inner relic
#

yup, however we conceded fewer shots but felt the chances were higher quality, De Gea just pulled out outstanding saves. Honestly think Onana's points lie in how well United are able to keep clean sheets and the opening fixtures could either way

undone lark
#

variance happens, rotation with keepers just leads to disappointment as the expectation doesnt always happen

inner relic
#

thats a fair point completely

undone lark
#

And onana being slightly overrated, he is just de gea with extra bps potential

#

best 5.0 pick imo, but offers same value as someone like flekken

inner relic
#

yeah im not really impressed with him compared to other keepers that are available

undone lark
#

keepers are the least important pick in your team

inner relic
#

outside of fantasy im happy of course, but dont play with emotions

#

tbf one season i managed to get 10 points per gw across both my keepers across the whole season. Rotated between Mendy/Henderson and got on the McCarthy train very early

#

but thatll never happen again

#

and most points got wasted on the bench anyway

undone lark
#

yeah but youre gonna remember the highs and not the lows

polar anvil
#

i remeber guitia last season 😭

undone lark
#

like in your first team you are playing areola over flekken but imo brentford are more likely to keep the cs

#

in fact i expect both to concede, in which case just play flekken for bps

inner relic
#

yeah that makes complete sense. I think the only 2 keepers its between is Pickford & Flekken, then the 4.0 would be Areola or Heaton depending on who actually starts

#

im leaning towards Flekken/Areola with like you said Flekken playing week 1

#

im gonna keep 0.5 itb so I can upgrade Gabriel to Shaw later on and maybe Watkins to Jesus

#

actually scrap that, gonna do Mart>Foden and start Jesus, waste of a transfer later on otherwise

#

if Martinelli goes off ill upgrade Gabriel to Shaw and Foden to Martinelli
