[prime plinth]

I'm pretty comfortable with Saka and Salah atm

3-5-2. Maybe Watkins gw3. Salah down Stewart or Isak up to Haaland

[lavish parcel]

I do expect solanke to start

[prime plinth]

Only problem with the strategy is transfers can become leser margin for error

[slim bane]

Beyond there where do you go tho

[prime plinth]

Atm I'm thinking Saka does enough over 5 gws to have him straight away.
Captaincy option gw3

[slim bane]

if I plan up till say 12ish rn then I can use the wc to plan 12-24ish

[slim bane]

not wrong

I was initially in that Salah Salah Saka Salah Salah Salah camp

[prime plinth]

I'm tempted by Isak but currently on Salah

Gw5-6 I really like Salah

Gw6 could also be Watkins

Oh nvm. I keep forgetting Saka has Leicester in 6 not 7. There's plenty of options by gw6 tbf

[latent depot]

You target the initial swings for Everton/Brentford which facilitate 6x City/Arsenal and can make better informed decisions with FTs as data accumulates. You're planning moves now without that benefit and if you trigger WC at any point you'll know that you didn't maximise the phase before it. I expect to have 4-5FTs going into GW8 and the intention is to always have 1-2 banked and use 2-3 whenever necessary

[prime plinth]

Those who are chasing more points in the earlier gws could burn themselves as well in fairness

I get the idea of not maximising points but that's over a 1-6 gw stretch. This is also the time we have the least information on who actually performs well

[lavish parcel]

if you go all in city and arsenal in 6, you'll probably be fine

the only block I see in the first half of the season is that period when everyone in the top 7-8 play each other

[latent depot]

It's precisely because we have the least info that we attack the fixtures

[prime plinth]

So maximising points is relying on that to come together. Idk if it forces you into wc6 but that isn't necessarily ideal in some situations as well

[lavish parcel]

but if you expcet the top two teams to still be the best

it's hardly an issue

[latent depot]

Yeah, it's not deep, you're wildcarding into 6x the top 2 teams with budget options that have a great run of fix

While maximising the 3rd best team's GW1-5, the 4th best attack's GW1-5, and avoiding the best defence's dodgy GW1-5

[lavish parcel]

usually I'm more aggressive until my first wc but then once I do it I settle

imagine most people are like that

and will be moreso the case this season where you can rack up transfers to use in bursts

[prime plinth]

There's nothing wrong with being aggressive with this strategy. I'm opting for a different one but there's reasons to wc at that time

I'm just a little colder on Haaland's fixtures 1-6

Idm Haaland 1-4 and then Watkins and Salah gw5-6. Wc7

[lavish parcel]

my only fear is that unless jota is on the streak of his life I will likely not have the best captain in 5

and then he'll get injured 20 minutes in to spite me

[prime plinth]

There is a chance I go set and forget Haaland into a later wc as well. I'm just opting for Salah to do enough 1-6 to make changes around the rest of my team

[latent depot]

Think Slot subs someone at LW/CF at 45 sooner or later and I can't wait

[prime plinth]

I've heard Slot loves an early sub

Imagine Salah hooked for Elliot minute 60

[lavish parcel]

cs banked

szobo can also technically play off the right

[prime plinth]

Trent is the most difficult one for me atm

I just think there's too much chance of him doing well with those fixtures to go elsewhere

Gvardiol probably just gets in

1-11 is so strong If he can continue to start over that run

[latent depot]

I think Pep "rests" him by playing him at CB instead of LB

[prime plinth]

West ham and Brentford could mud him pretty quick

Expect Chelsea to score

[latent depot]

If he wants 5 PLs in a row, he can't just rest his best defender regularly

[prime plinth]

Hopefully

As long as he starts 10 in 11

That'll do

The prospect of going against Gvardiol gw2 is not very nice

[slim bane]

aren’t I achieving the same just via FTs?

[umbral zinc]

Salah has an ego, he wont stand for a 45 minute sub

[prime plinth]

I'm fairly set on Munoz. Any reason I should be concerned?

[lavish parcel]

not to my knowledge

[lone glade]

nope

[prime plinth]

Positions he was taking up in that last friendly was enough to keep him in. Don't mind paying .5 extra for that attacking threat

Double up with Mitchell might be going too far. Probably just Hendo instead of Mitchell

[cerulean cape]

he was subbed 6 min before everyone else

don't know if he was tired or whatever reason

[lavish parcel]

it's quite a demanding role

[prime plinth]

1st game back

As well right?

[prime plinth]

Is Mitchell a shout or would you steer clear?

[broken patio]

Lads, do we start with nedeljkovic?

As a 5th def

[prime plinth]

Looking at Mitchell's heatmaps last season. He's not quite as advanced consistently

He definitely gets up the pitch though

Just Palace aren't as likely to dominate the ball enough to go two of those players

[lavish parcel]

still a bit hesitant

[cerulean cape]

gareth had no lbs and still didn't pick mitchell, gareth knows ball

[latent depot]

Nedel will be an option this season, don't think it's GW1 tho

[lone glade]

are we off barco now

[broken patio]

Nah

Botg

[lone glade]

[prime plinth]

I may just go Johnson for safety of starts

[broken patio]

2 premium defs
Barco, Robinson to rotate, and a 4.0

[prime plinth]

Assuming he's safe right?

[lone glade]

focal made an app wtf

[broken patio]

Why can't that 4.0 be nedel

[prime plinth]

Do you think Barco can nail down the spot?

[broken patio]

Yes

[prime plinth]

I think I'll just have him for the upside. Little concerned he could be .1 less if I don't wc6

Tbf players don't lose value from wc right?

[broken patio]

Exactly

[broken patio]

More likely to rise than fall imo

He's guaranteed to start the first few weeks at least, 1 return and he rises as people spot a playing, returning 4.0

[lavish parcel]

tell me more

[oak furnace]

Why has Bruno Fernandes ended up in my team

[slim bane]

delete and try again

[prime plinth]

Trust in the 🐀

[lavish parcel]

tfw I have 1m in the bank and might get a 5m keeper now

😭

I must be doing something wrong

[lavish parcel]

hm I respect it

still hate the guy though

[cerulean cape]

Longstaff over Murphy

🤔

[lavish parcel]

completely free, forever

[slim bane]

5M keeper upz

[lavish parcel]

I would not make such guarantees

Bro is washed

Most people don't get to experience a purple patch like he did tho

[lavish parcel]

ryan babel 18/19

[latent depot]

The streets will remember

I won't, I didn't own him, but I remember Antonio OOP from years ago carrying me can't believe he's still in the league starting CF

[lavish parcel]

those 4 goals at norwich

😭

that game changed his lief

[latent depot]

I didn't have him for that, but I couldn't be mad when he did it

[lavish parcel]

yeah me neither

and then the following season (or was it the one after that) people were capping him early season

[latent depot]

And when he got given the penalty to hit his 10 goal bonus, bro get that bag 💰

Of course Andy LTFPL owned him for that Norwich haul and the jammy penalty tho

[lavish parcel]

was that the season andy finished super high?

like top 1k

[latent depot]

Feeling nostalgic now. Decision that I deserved to get right: captaining Son over hivemind Salah for his gigahaul which lead to my best finish ever. Decision that I didn't deserve to get right: captaining Trent over hivemind Salah for his goal, which lead to another top 5k

[broken patio]

I had Antonio for the 4 goals!

I was a ltfpl simp back then

[lavish parcel]

weren't we all

[latent depot]

His squad is a but he gets to pump out WC videos each GW while he considers it

[cerulean cape]

He keeps his videos simple and clean

Gen Z can't take in much more than that

[lavish parcel]

how are focal's vods these days

[cedar hull]

Apparently pool are signing Mamardashvili, then loaning him out and Bournemouth are one of the clubs interested

Could be a 4.5 option, solid shot stopper

[cerulean cape]

Never watched a single video

[lavish parcel]

if they get it done before friday I'll consider

but i doubt

[oak furnace]

I'm still stuck on ESR vs Murphy

[fleet oracle]

I believe that was also the year benrahma was highly popular at the start of the season too. Think both of them went up by 0.4 over the course of the first 3 gws, then went on massive dry patches

[cedar hull]

Set piece data

[slim bane]

Esr more nailed, can hold longer if it happens to be necessary

Murphy imo higher ceiling

but probably a shorter hold

[oak furnace]

I need someone I can field gw1-5

Can Murphy be fielded every week

[slim bane]

Yes butttttt he may be benched

I’m selling in gw4 for minteh maybe anyway

orrrrr BBD

[oak furnace]

Yeh I think I just do that

[cerulean cape]

Then you get esr

If first 5

Hopefully murphy+minteh-4 matches esr

[oak furnace]

I can probably field Murphy+minteh but it uses up a free transfer

[cerulean cape]

Literally what I said lol

[slim bane]

thoughts on Murphy v SOU but then switch to BBD

for this run

or should I just punt on BBD right away

[cerulean cape]

Prefer switch

[slim bane]

First game against Newcastle ain’t even that bad tho

[cerulean cape]

But gw4?

[slim bane]

esr has United gw1 as well

[oak furnace]

Yeh that was my point

I think I just hold Murphy until gw6 save the ft into my bank

Well whoever I get

Unless they're stinking

[slim bane]

perhaps

[oak furnace]

Of the 5.5s it either has to be esr or Murphy for the first 5 I guess

If we're trading them for minteh in gw4 I think that esr is the better pick Low-key

[cedar hull]

Newcastle are just a much better attacking team tho

[oak furnace]

Fulham got United Leicester Ipswich first 3

That's just my thoughts

[latent depot]

You've been telling noobs that a FT is 4 points and then you ask this?

I haven't even looked yet, but I bet Newcastle's away attack was better than Fulham's home attack

12th vs 18th

But quite close in actual number terms

The drop off after top 7 attacks is just so big

Actually wild that the drop off from Newcastle attack to Villa is the same ish as Villa to Brentford

[fleet oracle]

Thing I love about this server, is I can go about my day, prioritise what I need to do, then I can come back and check in and see shit like this^
I just wouldn’t have the time to either create or look up something like this.
Thanks McGrrr, and anyone else sending in all this data for us to digest

[cerulean cape]

in what fucking world can bbz be predicted 4.5 vs newcastle

the ffhub model blows

[oak furnace]

Is bbd going to play striker

[cerulean cape]

don't think so

hybrid

wing forward/cf

[fleet oracle]

Who is the most popular gw3 Captain atm?

[cedar hull]

Salah depending on performance ig

[cerulean cape]

haaland and salah

i think this thread became my safe space

[fleet oracle]

Both away games though. Hmmm. Surely Arsenal players would be better captaincy choices gw3?

[cedar hull]

Most of us dont really have viable arsenal captain assets due to wc6

[cerulean cape]

i hate captaining away

but haaland away to west ham is still better than saka at home vs brighton i think

[cedar hull]

Even then captaining an arsenal player isnt ideal because their returns are so spread

Arsenal the type of team to win 5-0 with 5 different goal scorers and assisters

[cerulean cape]

that's fine though

as long as cap gets around 10

[lavish parcel]

Mbuemo vs Southampton

[cerulean cape]

if toney fucked on i was nailed for bryan

[lavish parcel]

I don't see Toney start over Wissa

[fleet oracle]

Why?

[lavish parcel]

Schade/Carvalho, Wissa and Mbuemo likely to be trio

[fleet oracle]

Toney gives them so much through the middle though.

[latent depot]

Toney is priced like he's getting sold to a big team

[lavish parcel]

If only west Ham got toney

Toney to man utd don't sound bad

[latent depot]

Toney too old for Chelsea 7 year contract takes him to 35

[fleet oracle]

Ironic that Chelsea sign players on massive contracts and managers are lucky to get 2 years with them

[cedar hull]

Gordon, Szobo, Robinson or ESR, Jota, Porro

[oak furnace]

Who is the better pick out of Konsa and pau torres?

[cedar hull]

Both are meh

[oak furnace]

Right

[cedar hull]

Konsa probably due to fouls

[oak furnace]

I'm looking for a 4.5 defender I can field gw1 not hall or quansah

[cedar hull]

It depends on your other defenders

[cerulean cape]

Myko

[cedar hull]

But konsa was fouled 64 times last season, almost 2bps a game

[cerulean cape]

He gained 0 bonus despite this

It was calculated by someone

[cedar hull]

Fr

[cerulean cape]

Yea lol

[cedar hull]

Oh probably offset by the -4 for goals conceded ig

[cerulean cape]

Shots on target more valuable

[cedar hull]

Definitely

[oak furnace]

Just in isolation who is the best 4.5 not hall or quansah for gw1

[oak furnace]

Is Pickford and myko too much?

I'm just looking at this interesting draft rn

[cerulean cape]

No

[oak furnace]

Aight I'll just send that then

Was considering Murillo

This is just for a mess around draft

[cedar hull]

Sounds like too many 4.5s for me

[latent depot]

Barco tbh

[umbral zinc]

If Barco is not already in his team, then he is doing something wrong

[oak furnace]

Have him already lol

[latent depot]

Are you playing him tho

[oak furnace]

Was drafting up a bench boost gw1 team for the memes

[cedar hull]

Why tho

[oak furnace]

It's gotten to the stage of preseason where I need to make fake teams so I don't blow up my real one

[lavish parcel]

good time to play everton

[oak furnace]

Yeh I don't feel like myko is the play

Feel like Murillo is a vibe

[latent depot]

I'm locked, dunno what to do

Only change I've made since my Saturday draft (before my no Salah excursion) is Winks to Sangare

[lavish parcel]

I am still waiting on Kadioglu news to decide my 3rd defender

If he isn't signed by gw1, I am getting Barco and 2 4.0s

[cerulean cape]

Saliba or Gabriel

[lavish parcel]

at this point it's probably too late for him to feature in gw1

[cedar hull]

@latent depot do you have the stats for the 10 role in slots system?

[lavish parcel]

even if signed today

Then Barco to him will be the switch

[frank mulch]

Why did I tell everyone about sangare

Don’t sell him thanks

[cedar hull]

It onlys helps you, less likely to drop in value

[latent depot]

No, you can look on Slot's profile on Transfermarkt for players that he has coached

[cerulean cape]

Who gatekeeps a 4.5m midfield who people knew about anyway

[violet temple]

I got to know about him day 1 g

[frank mulch]

What a gatekeep man

[cerulean cape]

I'm suggesting longstaff as best 5.0m so we're in the same boat

[latent depot]

Congrats? He's my 1st bench option GW1 and GW3 because he has a reasonable shot at 3 points while Winks is capped at 2

[lavish parcel]

Cheeky assist could be nice

[latent depot]

All I did was check Sangare's preseason mins and put him in

[lavish parcel]

Imagine Barco is benched and you have sangare coming in with 6 points

[latent depot]

Well he wouldn't because I have to field 3 defenders

Barco is playing GW1 regardless of where Kadioglu plays

Kadioglu is playing RB anyway

[oak furnace]

Basically the draft is for a shot at manager of the month
I'm sure a lot of people will do it
Bench boost gw1, TC haaland GW2 and then free hit/wildcard gw3 if gw3 is included in August

You know how there's always that random 4.5 defender that gets a 10+ haul in gw1?
I'm trying to work out who that could be

[umbral zinc]

Lewis Hall

Clean sheet assist 3 baps

12 pointer

[oak furnace]

In this draft I have triple Newcastle sadly

Could go pope to another goalie potentially I guess

Hmmmm

[cerulean cape]

You're trying out a random haul?

[oak furnace]

Actually DW I worked it out

[oak furnace]

I'm trying to see if I can predict it

[cerulean cape]

Man ruining his fpl season by trying to win a stress ball

[oak furnace]

I don't think I'll do it unless I can find an insane draft with a lot of differentials

[cerulean cape]

It cannot be easier to choose differentials for gw1?

Like a bowen

Pinnock

Schär

[oak furnace]

Bruno Fernandes 👀

Anyway I've lost the plot imma stop it

[latent depot]

Doubt he gets max bonus even if this happens. Newcastle putting 4 past Soton, bonus will be split among the attackers, maybe Hall gets 1

[cerulean cape]

I remember trippier getting a goal and assist with 0 bonus

[umbral zinc]

Best day of my life

[cerulean cape]

This is the same person who got bonus points from no returns

[umbral zinc]

Trippier murdered me last season

[latent depot]

Goal without deflection is 20/26bps now for mid/for

[oak furnace]

And for defenders?

[latent depot]

Did they change bps for defender goal? I forget

No, still 12, so 14 for SoT

[acoustic edge]

murphy vs SOU or BBD vs new + 4

i know which one i prefer !!!

[latent depot]

With the amount of hype BBD has, you'd think he did more than get 7 GI in 14 apps

[acoustic edge]

@cerulean cape wasn’t it palmer + 4 vs kudus AVL

[acoustic edge]

i agree he’s shit but he’s the best 5.5 mid by some distance

armstrong clears anyway i’ve

ibr

[cerulean cape]

Yes

Would do it every time

[acoustic edge]

palmer gang shit

[umbral zinc]

7 involvements in 14 apps for easily the worst team in the league is not horrible at all

[cerulean cape]

Kudus and bowen got 5 goals and 5 assist in the 2 games that weren't fpl around it

[cerulean cape]

Imagine that reversed

[acoustic edge]

bbd moment

armstrong 10 goals omg

ode 21gi

[acoustic edge]

palmer was always gonna haul against newcastle

[latent depot]

Spread bet markets for whole season before GW1

[acoustic edge]

odegaard 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[cerulean cape]

Play fpl for fun, never going 1 game over 2 games when given the choice

[acoustic edge]

i warned you !!

but yeah i get that

[oak furnace]

Lmao

[cerulean cape]

For the record I had my worst fpl season in 6 years yet finished my highest rank ever

Game is bad

[acoustic edge]

i had my worst rank ever last season so can’t talk LOL

[violet temple]

I had my first rank last season so let's not talk about it

[latent depot]

Last 4 I've got two 300k finishes with a 646th in between last season was 86k tho

[cerulean cape]

Easy top 100k if you kept taa

[fleet oracle]

First time I didn’t burnout around Christmas was 21/22. I finished 98k, then the seasons after both times I got more points and finished much worse. Fpl getting really competitive

[violet temple]

Don't remind me of it

[latent depot]

Cool, triple Arsenal on WC6 can be held rest of reason. Liverpool away is either DGW36 with Palace at home (if Arsenal make FA SF) or you can WC35 to get rid (if Arsenal don't make FA SF)

[lavish parcel]

we reached 1/3 !!

[latent depot]

Man City GW23-27 is wild

[lavish parcel]

but then the final 11

they'll be 6 points behind and win every single one

[latent depot]

If Arsenal beat City at the Emirates GW24, City might bottle more points GW25-27

[prime plinth]

That is good numbers for 5.5m in one of the worst pl teams we've seen in a decade

[latent depot]

Will everything go through him at Soton tho anyway I'm not keen on picking talisman attackers from shite teams

[oak furnace]

Bbd over Murphy and esr 🤔

[prime plinth]

Not to mention goals as a midfielder is a great help

It wasn't like it was 3 goals and 4 assists

[prime plinth]

I mean there's no need gw1. Has a good run later on. If his data can be around .5 xg per 90 in a central role. He's a downgrade target that that point

There's no way someone can say Esr is 100% a better option to him

I'd prefer Esr short term ofc. Just can't act like the other options are any more proven

[cedar hull]

I never really go for players from promoted teams, they always have poor relative fix due to team strength, their attack and defensive numbers will always be in the bottom quartile

Murphy may be the worst of the 3 individually, but plays for the best team so should get the most chances regardless

[slim bane]

haha was in my overthinking phase

[cedar hull]

Julian araujo 👀

[slim bane]

possibly the 5.5 mid slot will go to whichever player is in form

Or has better fixtures

eventually might get rid of the 5.5 slot as well

[umbral zinc]

this isnt a draft for gw1 is it?

i hope not

[slim bane]

No it’s a GW6-8 draft

[umbral zinc]

no pool is wild

okay good

[slim bane]

Shift off 3x pool and 3x Newcastle into city spurs Brentford wolves Everton players

[umbral zinc]

whats your team for now

[umbral zinc]

yeah pretty good

this is my final decision im pretty sure

[acoustic edge]

don’t get the murphy hype ibr

and no premium mid is wild

good luck mr ayylmao

[slim bane]

Temporary until gw8

[acoustic edge]

then it’s not exactly temporary is it

[violet temple]

Should get one of saka Or son ngl

[acoustic edge]

that’s like saying my lack of savings is temporary until i’m 30

[slim bane]

Decent in preseason decent fixtures

short term punt

[acoustic edge]

W xmins dropoff

[slim bane]

After gw8

[slim bane]

W hopefully I’ll get him out before he’s benched

surely i can get 3 decent gws from him

[acoustic edge]

lmaoooo

nah nw

i like the saliba + gab, unsure abt the rest LOL

[slim bane]

Something like this by gw8

Restructure the midfield

[acoustic edge]

i’m sure that will work exactly as intended 👍👍👍👍

[slim bane]

thanks for the support

[lavish parcel]

Ayy, dont you worry, we will have almost similar points

[slim bane]

there goes my wissa plans

wolves targeting him

I liked this draft better anyways

just need a good 5M player

[fleet oracle]

Tbh neither did I, but it’s a 5.5m attacker playing for the 4th best attack in the league last season, that seems to be garenteed mins based on preseason performances. As an enabler he’s pretty good. Plus lots of alternatives to jump into should he flump

[slim bane]

maybe 5.5M if I can increase TV by then

[latent depot]

Starting RW in the 4th best attack last season at home to Soton GW1 with decent GW2-5, 79mins/0.6xGI per start, their best player in preseason 5G3A, what's not to like for 5.5?

10 consecutive starts to end the season, earned his spot for GW1-3. If he plays well, he starts GW4-5 unless Newcastle buy a marquee winger

If he's shite, transfer to Minteh GW4-5 before WC6

[acoustic edge]

wc6 🤮

okay wait i’ll stop baiting

yeah that does sound good

obviously one of the assets that force you into a set wc strategy

[acoustic edge]

i think BBD is right there but i’m also bullish on soton attack(i have armstrong)

[slim bane]

uh

no

[acoustic edge]

referring to mcgrrs SPECIFIC case there mf

will always defend salah ode over haaland murphy !!!

[latent depot]

But I have Salah Haaland Murphy

[acoustic edge]

you’re cooked

edit

[latent depot]

Of all my planned early WCs, I've never been happier than WC6 this season

I can punt on Brighton GW4-5, then Semenyo GW6-7

[fleet oracle]

How many FT you carrying across then?

[latent depot]

I only have 1FT planned for Wood to Pedro GW4-5

Murphy to Minteh is a maybe

[slim bane]

@thin jasper damn can’t believe you’re not in here yet

[thin jasper]

3400 messages i think its time to delete this rmt

[slim bane]

Only 34% there

[thin jasper]

haha

[fleet oracle]

I think I can make it to GW6 without any FT.
But then I have 5 FT or a wc and idk which to use

[slim bane]

depression

[fleet oracle]

Is it better to hold the WC or the FT

[slim bane]

I think most are on WC

So meaning hold 5 FTs

[latent depot]

Don't think you're going to make it before deadline

[slim bane]

I set too high a bar lmao

[latent depot]

Might still be active cos Friday is a dead match day

[fleet oracle]

But I wonder how many people on Wc6 have 5 FT and how many have used 2 or 3

[slim bane]

10k just sounded like a nice number

[thin jasper]

ffh ai rating

[slim bane]

this thread lost all credibility

[fleet oracle]

Ai says 93. Just bring in Eze and it’ll be 98. Easy as that.

Fpl is such a simple game when you can get ai to play it for you

[latent depot]

Think we saw Arsenal defensive ceiling last season, or very close to it. The 6.0s didn't meet VAPM threshold regardless, so why are you doubled up from GW1 Ayy?

[fleet oracle]

Pretty sure he doubled up bc arsenal Def eo is about 87% so ‘you can only get benefit from an arsenal Cs if you double up’
And I think there was something else about if one scores the 6 point swing just for owning the wrong 1

[slim bane]

I don’t think anyone else will keep as many cleans early on anyway so might as well save the trouble predicting

Not like the 4.5s meet VAPM threshold either

[acoustic edge]

vapm 😔

anyway saliba or gabriel

[thin jasper]

vapm and ai ratings this thread is a travesty

[latent depot]

But Gvardiol does and Trent can with his fix. The logical 3rd (for me at least) is the 4/4.5/4 rotation GW1-5 and hope for 2 returns to hit 19 points

[slim bane]

saving the 1.5M there can’t help me hit Salah so I don’t see a huge point

just looks more secure and I don’t have to worry

Gvar is even less nailed than Gabriel imo and if he’s not as attacking based on the shield then why bother

Rather load their attackers gw6-8 onwards

[fleet oracle]

Gvardial is a lot more attacking when KDB is not in the side. He plays a lot higher up when KDB is out, and sits deeper when Kdb is in

[acoustic edge]

no

it’s based on the LW

[latent depot]

I have City defence bias from the 5? seasons where they averaged 18 clean sheets. Last year was more likely a one off

But Ederson sucks

And while there's no such thing as fixture proof, City defence under Pep is the closest thing to it

[acoustic edge]

arsenal def?

[latent depot]

They've done it once, let's give them another season

Also they kept 2/6 cleans vs Villa/Spurs/City last season, funny thing being both vs City

I did the analysis years ago, City defence keep a better rate of cleans vs traditional top 6 than rest of top 6 keep vs rest of league

Which is crazy, but proven with like 5 seasons of data

[acoustic edge]

no rodri + gvar new role not scaring you off?

gabriel surely more proven as an asset vs gvar

[latent depot]

Feel like that's mitigated by Chelsea GW1 being a green fix

Just don't like Arsenal fix and the bps changes. Swap NLD for Chelsea at Emirates and I'd be interested in Gabriel

Gvardiol just the best 6.0 for GW1-5 IMO with Robbo out

[slim bane]

Fair

Ur wcing into ars def as well i presume

if I want to hold long

then I have to imagine who I’ll be happy with longer stretch

[thin jasper]

:)

[latent depot]

Calafiori might be him, but yes it'll be 6.0/Saka/Havertz unless a LW emerges

[slim bane]

slipped my mind that LW could emerge

[latent depot]

I think Gabriel is fine, Saliba is just a bit unnecessary when you can have Gvardiol and it's less annoying to get to Saka for your 3rd

In b4 Saliba goal cos Spurs can't defend set pieces

[slim bane]

apparently

city itks have it that

Bobb is fucking injured

badly

what a shame

[thin jasper]

Ruins my drafts

[lavish parcel]

No mention of Kadioglu to Brighton from Fab or Orny

The dream is dead?

[slim bane]

wtf need to redo my drafts

hopefully he takes whites spot

[thin jasper]

Benched for the season 👍

[latent depot]

this is actually wild

Andy LTFPL's graphic for best 5.5s

bro has McMeme in there and no Murphy

[lavish parcel]

What has been his best rank?

500k?

[fleet oracle]

He is gatekeeping murphy lol. what a guy

[latent depot]

play long enough and you'll get a top 10k

yeah, keeping Murphy at 1.5% ownership, what a guy

[lavish parcel]

Bro is defo putting Murphy in before 10 mins to deadline

[latent depot]

na, his style is long term picks

[cedar hull]

Bet he gets foden in due to some itk saying he starts

[lavish parcel]

I was questioning myself last night with Foden

If he doesn't play, Barco auto sub

Surely he plays GW2

City have no attack without him and kdb

He'll be 9.6m in no time if pep says he starts GW2

[latent depot]

Johnson would be great if he was a 4.5 mid instead of a 4.0 def

[latent depot]

who the fuck is this and what the fuck is that bench

[cerulean cape]

8 man draft

[cerulean cape]

he's on scout a bit before

supports man utd but claims to be a city team expert

[latent depot]

solid bait tactic tho

[latent depot]

Zinchenko the only dud really

[cerulean cape]

5th def and 5th mid i'm gonna rotate

on waivers

so pick the best options that gw

[latent depot]

at least you get GW1 out of him

[cerulean cape]

yea that was the point

[latent depot]

never played draft, don't really understand the rules, never seen a squad that would make me want to play tbh I like the idea of a 4 man draft tho, get some super stacked squads

[cerulean cape]

tbf i don't like 8 man draft either, needs to have more people

might get alex mac

[latent depot]

Jota/Szobo/Mac average position was in a line on Sunday, but prob just for the friendly

[cerulean cape]

wonder if he's better than a rodri

probs not

[prime plinth]

I get that but 6 goals 1 assist in 14 games for a terrible Sheffield utd team is at least something to monitor. Misses out on my gw1 team

Southampton scored 87 goals in the championship. Don't expect them to be amazing but there's some potential for them

[prime plinth]

Yeah no he's more interesting gw5-11

[cerulean cape]

i've not changed my team for 48 hours

reckon my only decision is gordon vs diaz if we hear news

[prime plinth]

What is the concern with Gordon?

Is it even possible for Newcastle to lose him after giving away Minteh

[latent depot]

Eredivisie allows 5 subs just like PL, so I looked up Slot's tendencies, bro loves a fucking substition

[cerulean cape]

If he doesn't start gw1 then it's not worth owning

[cerulean cape]

Yes but 65th min is the most common 1st sub

But he does use all 5

[latent depot]

VVD will be safe, other CB is not

[oak furnace]

Go to bed team is done
Wake up Bobb injured

Bobb and Rogers to Murphy and sangare

[latent depot]

That was always the play anyway

[prime plinth]

Why wouldn't he? Is it really just a transfer concern

[prime plinth]

Jota

There's a chance I fade Jota before deadline

[latent depot]

He'll bank a clean sheet tho

[prime plinth]

What are the chances of him nailing down a spot and playing more than 65 a game. Unlikely

Probably doesn't start everygame with cl gw4

[cerulean cape]

Barnes had full pre season and Gordon has had 45 mins

[cerulean cape]

Fpl wire has a good discussion about wc4

[prime plinth]

Gordon didn't exactly have to do a ton at the euros

[cerulean cape]

Arguably worse

So 2+ months without playing

[prime plinth]

He'd still be training

[latent depot]

That's missing the point. He returned to training much later so is lacking sharpness and match fitness

[prime plinth]

Scored in the last friendly. I think he gets subbed earlier like Jota

[prime plinth]

Looked pretty sharp in the friendly tbf. Only seen highlights though

[cerulean cape]

Barnes also scored in that weekend

And played 90

[latent depot]

I've got Gordon, happy to wait for presser

[prime plinth]

Did any of the 1st 11 play that game?

[cerulean cape]

4-5

[prime plinth]

Like the last one

[cerulean cape]

4 or 5

[prime plinth]

I expect Gordon to be an earlier sub so that's my concern for him. I think the same as Jota

[latent depot]

The other game had Murphy/Gordon/Isak, which looks like the starting front 3

[cerulean cape]

Trippier, schar, bruno g, kelly

Should be fine

Let's be honest 60 vs 30 and late sub vs soton might not even be that bad

[prime plinth]

Could just end up on Murphy and save some money itb

[cerulean cape]

My alternative is Diaz though so could be a feelsbadmoment

[prime plinth]

That way I have a route to Foden, Palmer or Watkins in one move

[cerulean cape]

@latent depot I'm not ruling out wc4

There's some sense to it

We'll see though

Won't know til then

And happy enough my initial team is good enough for either wc points

[prime plinth]

Would consider Palmer. Just the concern of 1 blank tanking his price

[latent depot]

Feel like everything is clearer with WC6

I'm committed to it tbh, not about to change 2 days before deadline

[prime plinth]

I want him and saving the transfer is nice. Just know that one blank against City is an instant price loss

[cerulean cape]

Its wc4 with 4fts for gw6 and 2fts for gw8 vs using 3fts gw4, wc6, 3fts for gw8

I get wc6 let's new transfers settle

And gives one CL fixture to see rotation

[latent depot]

For me I'll have 4-5 FTs going into GW8

[prime plinth]

Fair call. It has legs for sure. Would be my strategy in a Haaland draft

[cerulean cape]

4 fts

With 2 moves in gw4

[latent depot]

Murphy to Minteh is a maybe, but yeah more likely than not

[cerulean cape]

Depends how viable murpht is gw4-5

Ye

[prime plinth]

If Foden was starting gw1 this would be so much easier

[cerulean cape]

Benefit of wc4

Can get palmer/foden/watkins

[prime plinth]

Why would I want Foden gw4

Tbf

[latent depot]

He might even be on the bench with Bobb out

[cerulean cape]

Hes been back since monday

Will be bench easily

Rodri back today

Rodri got 2 extra days smfh

[prime plinth]

Hmm Rodri only just back?

[cerulean cape]

Mateta also back today

Obv not city

[prime plinth]

Some chance I launch into Palmer gw1 with the potential of no Rodri starting

[cerulean cape]

But yea wc6 very likely, not ruling out wc4 though is where I stand

If chelsea had poch, salah/saka/palmer would be the most popular

[oak furnace]

Why is maresca so bad

Can we just start Foden to save a transfer?

Imagine he just scores off the bench

[cerulean cape]

Foden and haaland team?

[oak furnace]

No Bobb makes me think Foden gets minutes off the bench gw1

Something like this maybe

[prime plinth]

I'm wondering if it just better to waste a transfer an start with Son or Saka though

For if you want Foden

[oak furnace]

This team has 0 itb

[cerulean cape]

If you back son/saka to get 5+ then ye

[prime plinth]

There's probably enough upside to take that risk I'd think personally

Worst case you keep Son or Saka for a few more gws

[oak furnace]

With the team I just sent how do you get 0.5 to get Foden to saka

I like the idea of starting saka and going to Foden gw2

But it fucks up trying to get Watkins gw3

[prime plinth]

Fair

[oak furnace]

Unless you start with 1.0 in the bank

[lavish parcel]

Back on Salah now

[slim bane]

why?

[lavish parcel]

Saw extended highlights vs Sevilla

His positioning was so good

I can see leif Davis get caught out and Salah hauls

It was Saka vs Salah, Salah saves me a FT

[slim bane]

oh then yea

Pick Salah

[lavish parcel]

Now the issue is I can't have a 6m defender

I can see Wood getting all the bps for forest in the first 3

Wanted Havertz but wood clears

[oak furnace]

Are forest even that good offensively?

[prime plinth]

If I'm not captaining isak gw1. Do I actually need him?

He has pens though. Difficult to go against

[slim bane]

If you’re not captaining, you lose out with his hauls

57.1 TSB rn, very likely higher in the 90s among experienced managers

With even half captaining him that takes EO to 135

[prime plinth]

Yes but I'm not wc6

[slim bane]

every goal he scores you lose 1.2 points

[lavish parcel]

Forwards who score a goal get 24 points in the bps

[slim bane]

and if you don’t own

every goal is 5.2 points

[prime plinth]

Isak end to last season is why I think I'll stick with him. 8.5m is a lot

[slim bane]

It’s a good price point you can jump to anyone less Watkins

[prime plinth]

Yeah true. Just the 2-7 block isn't that amazing

[lavish parcel]

Isak at home is so op

[slim bane]

idk if you’d find someone else with better

[prime plinth]

4 away games. Tottenham at home is fine. City at home not great. Just his finish to last season is probably enough to keep him

Ig there's an argument to just go isak because he could be +4 up on Watkins instead of saving the transfer

[lavish parcel]

Even if Isak scores 3 goals by gw5, he is value

[prime plinth]

Is it?

[slim bane]

No

[lavish parcel]

He'll likely have the bps

[slim bane]

He needs 28 points by gw5

[prime plinth]

That seems a little steep

Oh ok

[slim bane]

Typo lol

[prime plinth]

That makes sense

[lavish parcel]

Yeah 3 goals with 3 bps in each home game

[prime plinth]

It is just the 1st fixture. Bournemouth away is probably a bit overrated

[lavish parcel]

Is it tho?

They beat spurs easily at home past 2 seasons

[prime plinth]

Tottenham beat them 4-1 in the reverse. Difficult fixture to call. Is good enough. 2,4,5 being away is a little off putting

[lavish parcel]

Home game

[prime plinth]

I mean the fact he has pens is why he has to stay

[prime plinth]

Ik

That doesn't mean it'll be the same result

[lavish parcel]

Newcastle were one of the best attacks at home

Like top 4

[prime plinth]

Fulham away is not easy

I think the Southampton fixture is enough to just go with him. If Watkins was guaranteed starting I'd be a little more interested. As I said before though, isak could easily be up big over the first 2-3

Isak is locked. Just had to consider thoughts

There's no tough fixtures in the first 5. Southampton at home. Look to save transfers in other areas

Probably just comes down to Dcl, Muniz, Solanke or Watkins

[lavish parcel]

@slim bane

[slim bane]

yo

[lavish parcel]

If someone was going without Haaland, how much points would he need to compete with him in first 5?

Asking for a friend

[slim bane]

how many points are you expecting

haaland to get

[lavish parcel]

Probably atleast 35

[slim bane]

haaland had 7PPG in a down year

across the season

he is a flat track bully tho

so against shite opposition he puts up more

the good thing is

arsenal gw5 he probably doesnt do that well

[lavish parcel]

True

[slim bane]

so assuming 2 points that game, you can see why it comes to around 7PPG

however ur also competing for captaincy

so if your captain cannot match 7PPG then you need more to make up for it

[lavish parcel]

70 points I need to catch up to

[slim bane]

as a crude estimate yea

on top of how many points

the budget players get

to support haaland

[lavish parcel]

nostalgia pick for sure

he got a huge haul out of mcneil a few years ago

[slim bane]

keep murphy on the dl

[lavish parcel]

I feel like I may have to think about long term if I am competing against Haaland owners

[slim bane]

not many have him lol

[lavish parcel]

Not just first 5

[slim bane]

if u wc6 u can get him tho

[lavish parcel]

That's my biggest concern

[slim bane]

so u can brave the first 5 and reeval

[lavish parcel]

Idk when I wanna wc

[slim bane]

with salah having good fix

[lavish parcel]

And son

[slim bane]

listening to wgta talking about getting raya now

no wonder he's so highly owned

idk why you wouldnt just spend the extra .5 to get an attacking chance tho

as much as our defence is nearly fixture proof in terms of xGC

why they did so well

is cos of the set piece goals

[lavish parcel]

Arsenal defenders are good for long term wc teams

[slim bane]

they better live up to it

both gab and saliba start and keep a cs

hopefully one of them get agoal

[lavish parcel]

Honestly they should

With timber back, califiori in

[slim bane]

arteta talked about timber being a key part

timber could slot in anywhere

for white for saliba for LB

[lavish parcel]

Arteta can sub them on to maintain that defensive numbers

[slim bane]

true

either straight swap for white

or just to have an extra player there

[lavish parcel]

Back 5 impenetrable

Once the game is 2-0

[lavish parcel]

just saw that bobb is injured

in training as well, that's the worst

wasn't considering him but still

[frank mulch]

@latent depot TAA Gvardiol Saliba Porro Barco rotation 🔥

[lavish parcel]

[lavish parcel]

do you really need a 4.5 on the bench with this backline

I am doubtful

[slim bane]

no

[earnest torrent]

Invest in Gvardiol Wood or Solanke?

Also Semi since when did you became a Believer?

[lavish parcel]

and then I saw her face

[latent depot]

Uh oh new Brighton forward best not be more than 6.0

[cedar hull]

Gruba should be a mid no?

Or are you talking about rutter

[violet temple]

Pretty sure he's talking about rutter yea

[earnest torrent]

Do we abort the Eze train?

[latent depot]

Never booked my ticket

[earnest torrent]

I think I'm extending this list

[fleet oracle]

You could also just go Eze> nkunku and bank the .5

[cerulean cape]

I legit think all 4 moves are downgrades lmao

[prime plinth]

You could just go Haaland to Solanke and bank the 7.5m

[violet temple]

Bruhh who do I get for eze now painnnn

[slim bane]

factos

[slim bane]

why

[violet temple]

City might pay his rc

[slim bane]

4x city player innit

valueeee

[violet temple]

more like rotation player

Without pens or set pieces

[latent depot]

Bobb injury making City buy Eze? I wasn't aware

[cedar hull]

Its all rumours right now

But if they do its probably release clause so it can go from 0-100 pretty quick

[cerulean cape]

Madr a change

Harwood Belis for Faes

If barco does miss gw4-5, he had man utd and Ipswich at home

Has*

[cedar hull]

Im on nedel

[latent depot]

Are we all on the GOATed Barco/Robinson/HB rotation now?

[cerulean cape]

No

I might buy nedel for saliba gw4 if I want waktind

[cedar hull]

Nedel over HB

On he plays

[latent depot]

Never been so satisfied with such a cheap rotation, but realistically 1-2 returns and conceding 2+ a couple of times

[cedar hull]

I expect a robinson haul gw2/3 tbh

[latent depot]

HB scoring a header vs Ipswich

[cerulean cape]

Saliba gw1 is gonna outscore gw1-5 for that rotation

[latent depot]

Palhinha loss is so massive both defensively and offensively

[cedar hull]

I still think he does well tho

Watched him a couple times in preseason

[cerulean cape]

Incidently they did win like 3 games in a row when he was out

[cedar hull]

Looks amazing

[latent depot]

I have Fulham finishing 13th-16th

[cedar hull]

Tbf theyre probably used to playing without palhinha with the amount of yc he got

[latent depot]

Should check his friend circle betting

[cerulean cape]

Do I go saliba or gabriel though? I will more pissed off if saliba scores than happy if gabriel scores

[latent depot]

Can't find any time Wood goal odds through my work's firewall

But whatever it is will be too low

[cedar hull]

It feels like saliba always returns when gabriel has the much better stats

[latent depot]

Gabriel is the pick, don't even pretend that it's a dilemma

Saliba is just a jammy git

[cerulean cape]

Saliba and Gordon cost me most rank last year so I think its psychological I want them so much this year (+ they're good)

[latent depot]

Saliba is not him this season. With Havertz at CF hoovering up more bps per goal

[cedar hull]

I really want havertz

[umbral zinc]

I dont think its super clear cut, Gabriel more attacking threat, but there is a world where he is benched on occassion, Saliba absolutely nailed

[cedar hull]

Over 1xgi at cf

[latent depot]

12 game sample, but yes

[cerulean cape]

Gw1-5 will be fine

[cedar hull]

1000 + minutes is decent enough

[latent depot]

Seems like all the tempting picks are 12-16 game samples (Havertz 12, Murphy 12, Wood 16, Palace 13)

[cerulean cape]

Recency bias too

All gw25 ish onwards

[latent depot]

Recency does go hand in hand with relevancy

[lone glade]

left

[latent depot]

Wtf why are Brighton paying £40M for this scrub

[violet temple]

What's the best eze replacement bar nkunku

I don't think I want him with these city rumors around

[earnest torrent]

All but Eze?

[lone glade]

are we off eze now or smth

[latent depot]

Rutter seems like a Brighton signing, but for £10M

[earnest torrent]

Linked to city

[lone glade]

ffs

[prime plinth]

Ipswich will mud Robinson

[lavish parcel]

we have some competition

[slim bane]

they were ahead

we overtook them around 2.7k mark

[slim bane]

@thin jasper

surely you’d make them answered too

[cedar hull]

If they get close ill just lock the post

[slim bane]

level the playing field

[lone glade]

Classiic you been doing your RMTs

[slim bane]

not touched this draft in a while

siuuu

[lone glade]

i havent slept in 24 hours fuck sake

warwick

[latent depot]

Anti Barco brigade is strong today

[cedar hull]

Nice, i know a few people there

[latent depot]

Only Isak and Barco haven't left my first draft

[lone glade]

warwick semi

[cerulean cape]

Same

[cedar hull]

Isak trent and barco for me

[cedar pine]

made my first draft of august now but 1m itb

[lavish parcel]

isak and munoz

[slim bane]

factos

[cedar hull]

Solanke to havertz

[lone glade]

classiic

rmt

[lavish parcel]

porro's been a lock for ages too

[cerulean cape]

Munoz to gabriel/gvard ez

[cedar pine]

no i want munoz

[lone glade]

jota or gordon

[lavish parcel]

got both but prefer jota

[cedar pine]

but the leicester fixture

can always get havertz later

[slim bane]

I lied I didn’t have barco in draft 1

[lavish parcel]

RODRI 😭

[lone glade]

best

[cedar hull]

?

[slim bane]

looks good

[latent depot]

Looks like a mid set and forget team

[cedar pine]

Nkunku

[slim bane]

that’s why it’s the first draft

[lone glade]

bro idk any good 6.5s

[cerulean cape]

A lot of creators are still on nkunku somehow

[lone glade]

maybe gorodn instead of jota idk yet though

[slim bane]

“Good long term hold”

[cedar pine]

Just get murphy and keep 1m itb

[slim bane]

Cos they see Palmer

did well

But

10.5

Oh look

A cheaper Palmer

By 4M

[lavish parcel]

could see myself having nkunku by 3 or 4

but not yet

[cedar pine]

yea

[lavish parcel]

the 6.5 mid price point fell off so fast

[slim bane]

even sub 6.5s aren’t all that

low risk punts they are

[cerulean cape]

There's so many that 2 or 3 will come good though

[cedar pine]

with three 7.5m mids it'll be easy for me to jump on whoevers kicking ass

but yea, if Palmer/Son etc starts kicking ass i need 2 fts 💀

[slim bane]

The time to own son is gw1-2 and if not just wait out

he does love fucking us over tho so maybe not that bad an option

[lavish parcel]

kinda hope the savinho kid becomes a pick

[latent depot]

Quite pleased that you've all drank the Murphy kool-aid, Jazzy said I was gaslighting Murphy owners 2 weeks ago can't wait for blank/blank/bench GW1-3

[lavish parcel]

maybe I'm just nostalgic for mahrez and he has the same number in the same position

[slim bane]

Estu back in training

thoughts

[cedar pine]

yeah, when you were talking about him i was agreeing that if we dont see Gordon + Barnes at all in preseason, hes a pick

and I dont believe we did

[slim bane]

will be discord (or this thread) flying if he hauls, and if he doesn’t chances are we don’t lose out thatttt much

[latent depot]

Just need Barco GW1, GW4-5 is just a nice to have

[slim bane]

45/45 call between him and esr

10 for the others

[slim bane]

u think he will drop in price or nah

I just don’t want the 4.0 def to drop price

[elfin lark]

only way is if he doesnt start

i reckon

[slim bane]

yea and estu is back in training

[elfin lark]

ye fair

[latent depot]

So happy that my budget enablers are such low owned. Wood/Szobo/Murphy 4.9%/2.1%/1.6% is absolutely wild to me. They have incredible upside. There are timelines where they all haul GW1

[elfin lark]

im worried about not covering spurs, a lot of people gonna have porro/solanke

and they might smack up leicester gw1

[lavish parcel]

problem with estu is

barco's fit, played preseason, and probably impressed the manager

but if estu is training it's probably not a risk worth taking especially since you don't even want him for the first 3

[latent depot]

Hurzeler using Barco for set pieces is interesting to me, Hurzeler is known for being a set piece enthusiast

[slim bane]

yes

[lavish parcel]

it's tough

[latent depot]

Obv not a problem for me on WC6. Don't think he's any more likely than the other 4.0s to drop? Might even be +80% price rise before Estu returns, so will have more wiggle room

[slim bane]

Right

[latent depot]

4.1 by GW2 assist and clean sheet GW1

[cerulean cape]

The upside in gw4-5 worth the price drop potential in this case

[cedar hull]

Bou got their striker

[prime plinth]

Evanilson

[latent depot]

Teams need to stop signing scrubs that I need to look up on Transfermarkt

[prime plinth]

Porto player

[cedar hull]

Mcgrr 0 ball knowledge confirmed

[slim bane]

stats merchant

[prime plinth]

Heard some hype about him and seen on fm before

[latent depot]

I never claimed anything else

[prime plinth]

He scored 13 goals in 27 appearances last season

25 goals 7 assists in 42 games. All comps

[cedar hull]

0.75/0.8 xgi90

[prime plinth]

Make him 5.5m fpl

[latent depot]

Of course he's Brazilian. Evan Neilson if he were English, Nilsson if Scandi

[prime plinth]

Decent showing in cl stats wise. Arsenal kept him quite from what I remember of that tie

[latent depot]

6.0 prob. FPL likes to round up the price of new signings

[prime plinth]

Yeah probably for a non promoted team especially

[elfin lark]

ye 6.0 is fair, same as Muniz

[cerulean cape]

6.5m I reckon

[prime plinth]

Could have some potential in fpl down the line. Fixtures don't warrant it anyway short term

[cedar hull]

Should be 6, probably 6.5

[prime plinth]

Numbers are fine but not amazing

[lavish parcel]

evanilson is good

[prime plinth]

Ig that's the going rate for strikers

He's only 24. Just have to see how it translates from the Portugese league from one of the top teams to the pl

[cerulean cape]

You'd buy him over eddie for sure

[lavish parcel]

absolutely

[elfin lark]

ye only thing eddie is half price and english ig

but evanilson def better

[lavish parcel]

player with champions league experience

[cerulean cape]

Crazy balogun sells more than eddie though

[latent depot]

Send Eddie to Everton, DCL is cooked

Everton fix from GW6 are 🔥 but no way would I buy DCL

[lavish parcel]

balogun had a good season in france

I suppose it's justified

not that I rate ligue 1 highly

[cedar hull]

Think balogun is younger too

[prime plinth]

Dcl with pens is the way. Dyche striker always score well

[cerulean cape]

Except when wood and weghorst managed like 5 goals between them

[latent depot]

Content creator meta is Liverpool defence and no Liverpool attackers wtf is going on

[latent depot]

You leave 🪵 out of this, 41G 6A in 110 starts under Dyche

Missing some FPL assists in that too

[lavish parcel]

like

double pool defense?

trent and quansah?

[latent depot]

All have Trent, some double. Seems almost none have Salah, some Jota

[lavish parcel]

trent and jota together can cover mo

[slim bane]

Yea

[prime plinth]

They trust 33 year old and no dm to keep clean sheets. With Trent

[slim bane]

or some just quansah

as if quansah can cover Trent

[prime plinth]

In new system

I'm going quansah over Trent tbh

[slim bane]

idk why you’d do that tho

[prime plinth]

I'll bite the bullet on Trent after ib if I need to

[slim bane]

by then it’s too late lol

[lavish parcel]

it's still trent

[slim bane]

looking to sell him anytime soon from IB onwards

[cerulean cape]

wood would score 70 goals for a good manager, man is elite

[lavish parcel]

only case I wouldn't have him if it seems unlikely he'll start

[prime plinth]

Gw1-3 for Trent is meh

[lavish parcel]

so not nuno

[prime plinth]

Two away games
