[prime plinth]

I'm not knocking any gk choice. Just important to recognise that Palace is a random element to a much higher level for clean sheets compared to Raya

I'd take Raya over Saliba anyway

[oak furnace]

Raya 5.0 defender
Saliba 4.5 goalie

[prime plinth]

Raya and Munoz

[oak furnace]

For me it all depends on how muric looks

[prime plinth]

Instead of Hendo and Saliba

Only benefit of Saliba is if you plan to rotate

[oak furnace]

Muric could be the top scoring 4.5 goalie

[prime plinth]

Won't get bps

-1 for every 2 goals conceded right?

[oak furnace]

Ye

[prime plinth]

Last season 12 bps. Would've been 0 with bps changes

[oak furnace]

But +1 for every 3 saves

Ipswich at home gonna be tougher than people think imo

[prime plinth]

Idm Pickford as a pick but there's definitely some uncertainty with Everton's small squad and financial troubles likely to result in potential outgoings still

[oak furnace]

I hate it

Happy to wait for wildcard for any Everton

[prime plinth]

The benefit of Raya is the reliability

Hendo was at 2.7 points per game and Johnstone 3.4.
Raya 4.2.

Could that see variance. Ofc, does that mean Palace have amazing clean sheets odds. Not really

Raya only conceded an xg of 22.5 over 32 starts. So I understand the pick

Other benefit of Hendo is having that flexibility to use the funds elsewhere

[oak furnace]

Yeh
One of my drafts has 1.0 in the bank
I was thinking of using it to go Saka to Foden gw2 then Solanke to Watkins gw3 but could just use it for Henderson to raya

I have 3 drafts atm

I'm likely to go with my main one tho

[kind egret]

@lavish parcel 🗣️

[lavish parcel]

:Listening:

oh we crossed 50%

[kind egret]

think i might get Vald

as my 4.0

[slim bane]

siu

[lavish parcel]

yeah I'm double brent

[slim bane]

Transfer

[lavish parcel]

only thing that sucks is it limits you to one outfield

if their attack is clicking

but can change on wc anyway

[kind egret]

think this is what I will go for

[zenith jolt]

really dont like 5.5 mid slot but i think im firming it

unless i go 4.5 over porro and go for nkunku

[slim bane]

To start the season?

why not porro + Havertz

[kind egret]

im poor plus I prefer Watkins over Havertz

[oak furnace]

I like Matthews as my 4.0

If Johnstone leaves it's a good bet

[oak furnace]

Is udogie gonna play gw1 I've seen talk of it being vdv

[kind egret]

he's the only fit LB so I heard

[lavish parcel]

Is Robertson starting gw1?

[slim bane]

Doubt

[oak furnace]

yeh i thought so too

[lavish parcel]

@slim bane I went with Eze instead of Gordon but could change to Szobo

[slim bane]

Eze might be good but if he doesn’t move

If he moves it’s up in the air

Imagine he’s benched gw1

[lavish parcel]

Please no

[slim bane]

Cos he’s signing his contract

[slim bane]

I also want Solanke benched

but I know I’ll get karma

Expecting one of Gabriel Saliba to be benched, Murphy too

[kind egret]

What Ange says, it's usually law

like him as an FPL manager

[lavish parcel]

solanke brace

son one more

porro assisting all 3

[slim bane]

[lone glade]

https://tenor.com/view/spurs-dance-pedro-porro-gif-176253132838580996

[prime plinth]

Looks good but Udogie slight risk to start

Porro upside first 2 might be worth the punt tbf

[lavish parcel]

so are we barco in or out?

[kind egret]

out

[cerulean cape]

At some rate barco dropping low enough he won't drop in price

[oak furnace]

Here's my question who is going to trade out barco using a few transfer

[slim bane]

Casuals

Who may have picked barco because they saw his high TSB

or one content creator talk about him a few weeks before

[oak furnace]

Surely they aren't Fielding him tho

I'm risking it

He's too good to field gw1

Robinson thb and barco rotation

Estu had 2 injuries last season

[earnest torrent]

Okay i swear this is my final left or right pre deadline

I just need one of Son or Solanke as a Spurs rep

[oak furnace]

Depends on how good you think wood is

I think right but I don't like konsa and think son over saka

[earnest torrent]

I'm on Burn now instead of Konsa

Newcastle looks more realiable and doesn't have Europe

[oak furnace]

Prefer hall to both

[earnest torrent]

Is he nailed though?

[oak furnace]

Seems to be

[cerulean cape]

both players do slightly different things unless you are perma playing him

[earnest torrent]

Who's the better one to rotate with Robinson then?

[cerulean cape]

Burn

Well

Depends on wc tine

[oak furnace]

If you were picking between hall and burn who you taking?

[cerulean cape]

Hall

[oak furnace]

That's my thoughts too

[lavish parcel]

hearing slot is useless?

[slim bane]

Yes

[latent depot]

I'm Barco in to start him GW1, then transferring him out after GW5 before I hit wildcard

[cedar pine]

i took barco out

[latent depot]

Understandable if not early WC

Charlie Taylor will be first 3.9 tho, unless he's playing LCB

[earnest torrent]

Is he nailed?

[cerulean cape]

No

[cedar pine]

yes I dont really make a set time for WC

my current draft would like an early WC, but if I hit then I'll delay

[latent depot]

Imagine picking a defender from a team with its arguably best defensive fixture all season GW1 and the bookies have them at under 40% clean sheet

[cedar pine]

southampton? no

3rd best maybe

[cerulean cape]

Newcastle odds are very game for the game

Might dabble on Newcastle to win by 2 or 3

[latent depot]

Yeah that's why triple attack

[cerulean cape]

Ipswich will score more I reckon

[latent depot]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if both score

And Leicester might score just cos Spurs are shit

[prime plinth]

If it was at home I'd have us winning by 3+

[slim bane]

They better

Too many porros

[prime plinth]

They were so awful against Lens

Tottenham should just dominate through the press

[latent depot]

No Bissouma tho

[prime plinth]

That's a plus

[latent depot]

Not really fussed. I see Porro as starting from -4

[slim bane]

why?

Oh right

brainfart moment

[prime plinth]

Newcastle and Arsenal fixture for Porro in particular is not great. For Son or Solanke it is fine

Gw1+2+5 is at least interesting for haul potential. He was the player with the most shots before scoring a goal

Obviously many of them are low quality chances

[slim bane]

talk to me about davis

[latent depot]

Everton is a bad fix, it really isn't green. You suck at set pieces, Ange doesn't care about them, and Dycheball is setpieces. Remember 2-2 and 2-1 last season vs Everton, losing both on xG

[slim bane]

how interesting is he as an option?

goals conceded aside

[prime plinth]

Solanke makes a difference. The rule changes prevent Vicario from being harassed as much

[latent depot]

You can't just ignore goals conceded, bro would be decent 5.0 mid, but Davis is getting -40 across the season for goals conceded

[prime plinth]

Everton at home is still a decent fixture

[slim bane]

as if PL refs will enforce that rule

[slim bane]

oh wtf he’s 4.5

[prime plinth]

I'm probably not going Porro but Tottenham could dominate games

[slim bane]

thought he was 4.0

saw him in scouts draft

Is greaves the best option from Ipswich?

[prime plinth]

Probably

[latent depot]

The best option from Ipswich is no option

[prime plinth]

One positive for Ipswich is 3 clean sheets in preseason against ok opposition. Doesn't really mean much but If you want some positive

[slim bane]

Might pick nedel and hope he doesn’t drop in price

[cerulean cape]

Signing szmodics

[latent depot]

Soton's defence improved a lot through the season, so they're better than their 63 GA, Ipswich tho... Just vibes

[slim bane]

Don’t foresee myself starting barco

I shouldn’t double sou def right

that’d be stupid

[prime plinth]

Idk I feel like Ipswich will steal a cs more often

[cerulean cape]

All 3 promoted teams have bad cms

They will lose the midfield battle

[prime plinth]

Southampton just seem worse on paper to me outside of the strikers

[slim bane]

@quick dawn thoughts on nedel

[cerulean cape]

Leicester still hav ndidi but still

[latent depot]

They play YOLO ball at home, their wins will be 3-2, not 1-0

[slim bane]

chance of start or nah

[prime plinth]

Leicester are terrible

They have some talented attacking prospects. That's it. Maybe ok fbs

Faes is ok but like Vestergaard

Ndidi played the 10 in the friendly

No Vardy available

[latent depot]

FPL Review free model has Ipswich defence xPts at 0.4-0.6 GW2 for 90mins

[prime plinth]

Fatawu is talented. Mavididi seems pretty good. Buonanotte maybe has a breakout season

[cerulean cape]

Some guy has contributed £2000 to blackbox what lol

[slim bane]

20.00 turned into 2000

surely

[cerulean cape]

No, it's cumulative

[slim bane]

Oh wtf

[cerulean cape]

He got on the podcast

[latent depot]

Wtf could have got some great parasocial validation for that £££ from OnlyFans

[cerulean cape]

But I'm not at there yet

[prime plinth]

Slot talking about players not taking the risky pass as much... Bro wants to keep the ball. Trent

[broken patio]

Man, fplchat is already nuts and it's 8hrs until deadline

[cerulean cape]

This is the safe spaxe

[broken patio]

Me thinks hiding in here will be a lot more enjoyable

[cerulean cape]

Space

[latent depot]

Slot wants to pass teams to death

[prime plinth]

Trent likes to pass but man I'm so unsure about 7m

[latent depot]

Not hitting 10k tho, much like Ayy's OR

[prime plinth]

Why'd they have to get such good fixtures

[slim bane]

51% there is commendable

[broken patio]

Someone talk me out of nedeljkovic

As a 5th def on Trent porro Robinson barco nedel

[slim bane]

fr

this shall be the birthplace of the nedel pick

[prime plinth]

Nah Slot mentioning fine margins with Son's miss against City... Don't remind me

[broken patio]

Surely either one of him or barco has to work out

[cerulean cape]

Don't forget about murphy

[slim bane]

[prime plinth]

Kamada is the way

[slim bane]

Murphy haul and nedel starting we will be there

[prime plinth]

Talk me out of Bernardo in a 10 role

[slim bane]

tempting innit

[prime plinth]

If Pep didn't use him in so many different roles it be so much easier

[kind egret]

when Man City bid for Eze

need Chaos

[prime plinth]

Haaland benched gw1 would be nice

[cedar pine]

this is the only safe space

this is my most recent cook, kinda being convinced by the hivemind that porro with solanke will do better + chance of maddison losing his spot

[slim bane]

Yea porro is decent pick to start

[prime plinth]

Tempted to just go ultra cheap with defenders

[slim bane]

Pickford Gabriel Saliba Havertz vs Hendo Munoz porro saka

[cedar pine]

Blackbox had a segment on Saliba being used to block the keeper in the last preseason game instead of White

[slim bane]

Difference between mine and yours

[cedar pine]

so that turned me off Saliba a bit

[slim bane]

lol arsenals set pieces have a lot of variation

wouldn’t be worried

[prime plinth]

Munoz

[cedar pine]

true. The logic was Arteta would rather have Calafiori attack the corner and Ben White being the one to stay back

[prime plinth]

I was tempted to go Mitchell and Munoz

[cedar pine]

which meant Saliba to be the one to cover the keeper

[prime plinth]

Still am tbh

[slim bane]

Cala wasn’t on the pitch when this happened right

[cedar pine]

I dont know TBH, i was only half listening

[slim bane]

wouldn’t be a bad idea if palace defence was good

And they have been under glasner

[prime plinth]

I mean they dominated at the end of the season and didn't concede many shots. Still some doubt on how sustainable it is

[cedar pine]

Pretty close. I have had versions with Havertz. Would probably have Havertz+White over Munoz+Saka if I made a change

[prime plinth]

That said, Riad seems decent. Doucoure to comeback at some point. Maybe a take the chance

[slim bane]

I want to leave room to pick son later on

Feel he will be close to Saka

But Havertz might be unmatched up front

[cedar pine]

I just like having a 10m option ready

[slim bane]

apart from isak who everyone alr has

[slim bane]

Yea understand that

[prime plinth]

I was thinking Arsenal defender but it doesn't give me the money itb to be flexible post gw1

[slim bane]

Have to plan my FTs

To get Foden and son in

[slim bane]

my way out is sell TAA

[prime plinth]

The ceiling of an arsenal defender is really only if they get a set piece goal

[slim bane]

Yea

Consistent honest work tho

If we clean

[prime plinth]

Which Wolves look suspect in more ways than 1. The other 4 fixtures are tough.

Brighton at home is obviously good but it isn't amazing with the those other ones in mind. They have the talent ofc

[prime plinth]

I'm so stuck on him. Are the assists really that valuable. If he pops a goal you may as well delete fpl

[cedar pine]

nah

[slim bane]

FK goal

there was once in live rant

Pool fk edge

you basically sweat

[prime plinth]

Tsimi was on a lot of set pieces against Sevilla no?

[slim bane]

then

GOAL

[cedar pine]

Surprised Ayy considers selling trent tho, with his history of captaining him ahead of Salah in DGWs

[slim bane]

TAA

[slim bane]

poor man problems

planned transfers

[prime plinth]

I'll have Salah. Jota or Trent are both uncertain for me

Jota dropping deep a fair bit

[cerulean cape]

What week are you getting son lol

[prime plinth]

He's a great finisher ofc. Just mins. Owning Salah. We'll see with Jota

[zenith jolt]

Managed to tweak my team to be synonymous with wc6 and wc12

Only pick in jeopardy is gabriel

[prime plinth]

Pretty sure Gakpo said Slot sees him as lw

No surprise on that one

[keen wren]

send

[zenith jolt]

No g

[keen wren]

Gatekeeping cba

[broken patio]

🔒

[cerulean cape]

I like this

[little delta]

who is that villa defender

[latent depot]

A 4.0 wish and a prayer

RB behind Cash and whoever they sign, promising player 19 in Dec, played 90 in the last preseason game, Cash was absent for some reason

Had decent minutes throughout preseason

[zenith jolt]

Wow fair play

First haaland salah that looks alright

[latent depot]

Don't show Ayy

Barco/Robinson/HB GW1-5 rotation is GOATed

[cedar pine]

Bencho

[latent depot]

That's why you have Robinson GW4/HB GW5 as plan B to Barco

Plan Barco + plan Bencho

[cedar pine]

Plan -0.2m

[latent depot]

If you hold until WC13-15 maybe

[cerulean cape]

Real Chads sell their 6m def gw4 to get Barco

[oak furnace]

Real Chads go porro to Ipswich defence in gw3

[latent depot]

I'm not ruling out Robinson to Kadioglu GW4-5 with the 0.5 from Wood to Pedro, if I keep Murphy

[oak furnace]

I right fucking robbo was fit

Got there eventually

[latent depot]

Wait what Robbo starting?

[oak furnace]

Robbo with a full preseason

[latent depot]

What did Slot say

[oak furnace]

He'll lose minutes to tsimikas

[oak furnace]

I haven't seen the conference yet

[prime plinth]

This will likely change a bit more

Idk if I want to spend up on defenders. Unsure on some picks. Do like Wood but could be Solanke or Muniz

[prime plinth]

So this basically means we should be going cheap

Have to map out potential transfers that could come up before deadline.

[frank mulch]

Wood is a great pick

Can’t find extra .5 though without destroying my bench

[oak furnace]

Fuck we have the same team

[broken patio]

Nothing on any particular player. Said everyone was fit

[oak furnace]

I can't believe we actually have the same team that's so funny

[broken patio]

This was the last team pic you posted here, seems like you copied me

[oak furnace]

That was my gw6 wildcard draft

[latent depot]

This is what happens when you keep showing Murphy

Scout has Murphy

[cerulean cape]

We're fucked

[lavish parcel]

how have we gotten nearly 300 votes on cap poll

[prime plinth]

Is Murphy really that guy

[fleet oracle]

I now think Murphy is worth the punt for those first 2 gws

Then he’s an easy transfer out/bench, and if he hauls gw1, potentially going up in price

[oak furnace]

Am I really captaining isak over Salah

Is it purely due to Newcastle being at home?

[lavish parcel]

feels good to not be tinkering on the final day

well... there is one more thing to do

it is with a heavy heart that I

[cedar hull]

I have faith in barco

[fleet oracle]

Im down to these last 2 drafts.

[fleet oracle]

What is the point of owning salah if you dont cap him gw1?

[cerulean cape]

I'm the same

Deciding barco or faes lol

Leaning faes tbh

[cerulean cape]

Just good option

[lavish parcel]

I think ipswich will be sliiiiiiightly better than leicester defensively

[cerulean cape]

Captain gw5 😉

[cerulean cape]

Contrasting styles likely

Ipswich will try to defend and know they can't

[fleet oracle]

salah is always a good option, but surely if you are spending 12.5m on him, its to cap him?, otherwise you could spend 7.5 on jota or diaz instead and have the extra funds to spend elsewhere? or am i crazy

[cerulean cape]

Whilst Cooper is perma low block manager

[oak furnace]

Yeh idk

[cerulean cape]

I feel like most have saka instead of salah

[oak furnace]

I think Salah scores the most points

[cerulean cape]

So 2.5m difference

[oak furnace]

Over the first 5 Gameweeks

I'm looking at my team as a 5gw team

What is the team I can make the best over the first 5 games

[cedar pine]

if you think that that also means you think hes the best captain so you'd obv have Salah

i dont think Salah scores more than Haaland

[oak furnace]

I expect Salah to be consistent not as explosive as in the past

[cerulean cape]

I only came up with taa/saka vs quansah/salah today

[fleet oracle]

This is Mids in order of TSB.

Saka just below salah

[cerulean cape]

Didn't know saka was that high

[cedar pine]

surprised Eze is still so high

ive been off him since the city news

[cerulean cape]

Casuals don't care/won't know about that

[fleet oracle]

palmer at almost 40% is a bit scary, if chelsea do well gw2-7

[cedar pine]

theres so many watching content creators now

[fleet oracle]

considering its mostly casuals that will own him

[oak furnace]

The best captains I see are
Isak
Haaland
Watkins/(Salah if United defence look shit)
Haaland/Salah
Salah

[cedar pine]

yea if you are 100% a fixture man sure

i think Haaland just has a base level thats above Salahs

[oak furnace]

I expect Salah to get returns in most games but not score the highest
Other than gw5

[cedar pine]

the fixture difference is only big enough in GW5 for me to say id rather have someone else than Haaland in GW5

[oak furnace]

I have the same team as beef

[fleet oracle]

i am a bit concerned about owning haaland when city might be playing first 2 or 3 gws without rodri foren or kdb

[cedar pine]

Why wouldnt KDB play?

[oak furnace]

I think haaland will get enough volume

[cedar pine]

he played in preseason right

[fleet oracle]

has he not been given an extended break too?

[cedar pine]

Belgium didnt go to the finals

[fleet oracle]

i've not seen any of citys preseason

[cedar pine]

so dont claim things you dont know then

[fleet oracle]

but read somewhere that he was unlikely to start

[cedar pine]

yea could be

im just checking now to see if he did play

[fleet oracle]

suppose idk if the source was reliable, hence why im semi asking for confirmation on it

[cerulean cape]

7m teams, let's say 20% watch content

Leaves 20% who dont

[fleet oracle]

KDB got 90mins in the CS

I guess that means he is fine

[cedar pine]

where did you see that hes not showing on the lineup for CS to me

oh its just a bug

[cedar pine]

yea he got subbed on at 90

[cedar hull]

Just need grealish to start tbh

[fleet oracle]

oh subbed on at 90?

[cedar pine]

but that means hes been back for over a week

[fleet oracle]

he played 0 mins preseason too. wasn't even in any of the squads

[cedar pine]

so I'd expect him to start

unlike Foden and Rodri

[fleet oracle]

hmm. the FPL manager in me hopes he starts, the Football fan in me hopes he takes a few well deserved weeks off for rest and recovery

[cedar pine]

could go either way

[cerulean cape]

Kdb was back on the 5th

Same as dias, akanji

Who both started

Spurs signed odobert wtf

Isn't he a rw

[lavish parcel]

he's better than solomon

[cerulean cape]

Mikey moore rw?

So kulu, Johnson, Moore, odobert, soloman

Forgot gil

[lavish parcel]

got loaned out

[kind egret]

Me to a Chelsea player:

Have you been loaned out whole life?

[lavish parcel]

what an end to playing time for me

[cerulean cape]

from 25 content creator teams

3 out of 25 don't own haaland

so fucking predictable after release

they all say he's too expensive

[kind egret]

Where Watkins?

[cerulean cape]

and they all pussy out at the end

[cerulean cape]

0 out of 25 own watkins

4 owning raya is wild

[kind egret]

no one owning Watkins is crazy

[cerulean cape]

7 out of 25 with salah also interesting

[fleet oracle]

7/25 is low

[cerulean cape]

ye

[violet temple]

That means 4 salah and haaland teams

[fleet oracle]

wonder does that mean salah is not in the template

[latent depot]

Sunk cost fallacy, just captain who you think scores the most points, regardless of cost. That said, I'm captaining Salah. I think Isak is slightly more likely to score, Salah is more likely to assist. I think their expected no of returns is about the same (so +1 per goal matters), but also Salah more likely to play 90 + Liverpool CS %

[cerulean cape]

if you assume 0 have none which is true then yes

[violet temple]

He is not

[cerulean cape]

4 have both

[broken patio]

Rodri not in squad gw1 confirmed

[fleet oracle]

Salah has a rich history of scoring goals on the opening day of the season vs promoted opposition. Under klopp though. so hard to know how much arne affects that

[cedar hull]

Salah against a promoted team away vs isak against a promoted team at home

If salah was at home would everyone captain him?

[lavish parcel]

nkunku captain?

[broken patio]

These journos are fucked

Basically asking if pep has completed England and saying he should move on

And asking more about Chelsea than city

And now the stream ended mid answer lmaooo

[oak furnace]

I'm starting to think I get Johnson over Harwood bellis

[cedar pine]

i have both

[oak furnace]

Gw3-5
Johnson got Fulham Brighton Southampton
Harwood bellis got Brentford United Ipswich

It's more so the gw3 fixture where I can potentially field Johnson

Idk

Not much difference

[prime plinth]

I'm tempted

[quick dawn]

could start at some point but i dont think now

im mostly just considering eze vs nkunku now

[prime plinth]

No Rodri, walker etc expected?

His ownership is probably just too high for me

[prime plinth]

Casuals will offload him so quick if he blanked

[prime plinth]

Confident in gvardiol?

Team looks good

[quick dawn]

confident he starts

eze rumours are just annoying

i was settling on eze over nkunku

[prime plinth]

I think Chelsea win tbh

[quick dawn]

dont trust their defence

but they could score

[slim bane]

Damn

[quick dawn]

i think it will be cash but we also want to sign geertruida

what do you guys think about eze rumours

[fleet oracle]

I think eze is an avoid

[lavish parcel]

me too

solely because his future isn't set

hate the hendo+matthews double-up because palace are a team I can feasibly see myself wanting multiple outfield players from

[quick dawn]

just realised i can do eze + solanke > kamada and watkins

[lavish parcel]

are you even confident ollie starts

I wouldn't be

[prime plinth]

I'm so undecided on Trent

[lavish parcel]

oh god imagine duran starts and scores

against west ham

[prime plinth]

Ipswich just so good at home last season

[quick dawn]

yes

we dont have another striker

[prime plinth]

I might just go Quansah

Upgrade later if need be

[quick dawn]

i have quansah locked regardless

i want trent, but cant find a good way to fit him in

[prime plinth]

He's someone I feel like shouldn't massively punish you to wait till gw4

[quick dawn]

should i actually do this

or any other 5.5 mid

[fleet oracle]

Brrighton gw6-11 is a stinking bad run wow

[prime plinth]

Brentford with Toney and Mbeumo.
Ipswich and Utd away.
Like it is a decent set of fixtures but it isn't a amazing

[prime plinth]

Avoid for me. Idk why Pedro was so popular personally

Just have to make sure I don't get too caught up in the short term picks. I'll spend some time making sure I'm comfortable with whichever setup I land on

[quick dawn]

does archer affect bbd or is he nailed

[lavish parcel]

I like the price point for pedro

[latent depot]

0 clean sheets for both tbh

[fleet oracle]

tbh, i think i am set up well for a wc6

[little delta]

@fleet oracle what is the team

[fleet oracle]

Are people really wildcarding into triple arsenal gw6 when they have these fix upcoming?

@little delta Leaning more towards Salah + Haaland atm, but haven't ruled out no Salah

[oak furnace]

So who is getting more attacking returns

[cedar hull]

Chelsea is green

[oak furnace]

They can score in all those

[quick dawn]

maybe i just go back to muniz

[oak furnace]

Arsenal picks should be season long picks we're just getting smart by avoiding them until gw5

[quick dawn]

this way i get to watch the game tonight and have 2 attackers

[fleet oracle]

Yes but newcastle(a) and Liverpool are tough fix regardless. I wouldnt be selling before them, but idk if i would be transferring in 3 prior

[oak furnace]

Fark man I wanna Captain Salah over isak

[fleet oracle]

Chelsea is an unknown atm. they could come out of the blocks flying this season

[oak furnace]

Am I crazy for wanting to do it?

Feels like it's such a huge decision

[cedar pine]

this aint the place for validation for your cowardness

[fleet oracle]

not crazy at all. I am capping Salah.

[cedar pine]

do what you think is best

[oak furnace]

I don't know what's best

I will know what's best after the game week

[cedar pine]

yeah so u go ahead and try to get others to validate your gut

just follow your gut dont pussy out

[oak furnace]

Isak at home vs promoted team
Salah away vs promoted team

[cedar pine]

we know the facts no need to list the matchups

[oak furnace]

The issue is since I didn't follow the prem closely last year I don't know how good isak is

[cedar pine]

we have captain poll for this

[oak furnace]

That's true

Always go against the captains pool

[cedar pine]

do whatever u want just dont voice your fears of making the wrong mistake here thats

[oak furnace]

True

[cedar hull]

[oak furnace]

Alright no more talk

Sleep time for me

[cedar pine]

chelsea are gonna come out flying, because city is kicking their ass so hard they're gonna lift off the ground

'I don’t know yet how ready the players who have returned are: just 2-3 training sessions. We’ll see today and tomorrow. I'm pretty sure they are ready - maybe not for 90 minutes - maybe some minutes.'

i actually expect rodri to maybe start lol

[latent depot]

If we're going to use historical independent discrete data points to predict future results with different variables, might as well draw a trend line showing the decline from 20 down to 5, then extrapolate to a blank

[cedar hull]

I love rmt

[oak furnace]

Havertz?

Can you host the stream?

I'm happy to commentate yea

Co-commentate

[cerulean cape]

Not even sure but I assume so?

[lavish parcel]

I remember it being an issue in the past

[cerulean cape]

I like the quote

[lavish parcel]

when would you want to start, 5:30?

[cerulean cape]

Was thinking like 4.30 lol

Only issue I need to leave at 6

[lavish parcel]

oh that's fine too lol

Gordon out for Szobo then?

maybe an hour of RMTs and an hour of general discussion/reaction to news

Howe said late comers aren't fully fit

[cedar hull]

Howe says a lot of bs tho

[lavish parcel]

Switching Gordon to Szobo could save me a FT in gw3

[fleet oracle]

Fuck sake. I’m getting cold feet on salah again. If slot treats him like the rest of the squad in terms of heavy rotation, and he is no longer a 90min man, it is better to have 2 of szobo/jota/diaz instead of him. Which would push me back to my none salah draft.
Imagine paying 12.5m for a winger that wasn’t garenteed more than 70mins a game

[slim bane]

That’s what I’ve been saying tbh

Who ever said that Salah is guaranteed 90 under slot

[fleet oracle]

In saying that, we don’t have the best rw backup. So that could work in his favour

[lone glade]

wait RMT live is happening???

Rogers looks like hes starting

[slim bane]

“starting tomorrow” ≠ “he’s starting tomorrow”

[cerulean cape]

Salah will play 90 most times

Just no good rw back up

[frank mulch]

He’s gonna start

[cedar hull]

I said looks like, not guaranteed obviously

If salah wasnt gonna play 90 they probably would have been in the market for a natural rw

[cerulean cape]

Hughes though

[cedar hull]

Nunez/ diaz/ jota / gakpo all better off the left

Not that salah is nailed at all

[cerulean cape]

Came with the reputation and done nothing yet

[lavish parcel]

will hughes?

[cerulean cape]

Lmao

[fleet oracle]

Will hughes what?

[acoustic edge]

think haaland ev is so much higher than salahs it really puts me off salad

[frank mulch]

What gk are the stat shaggers on

[fleet oracle]

Elliot was deployed on the rw a few times under klopp, although I don’t like him there bc he naturally drifts in and doesn’t hold the width at all. Dom can also play rw. Although I doubt he’d be moved to rw from cam to sub salah

[cedar hull]

Yeah i mean its suboptimal

[lavish parcel]

Ben Doak subbed in Salah at 70 mins

[cedar hull]

Elliot seems like the competition for szobo

Im not saying salah is immune, but if they were thinking of rotating him a lot more, surely theyd have been in the market for a rw

[acoustic edge]

raya/ederson(ew)/henderson/flekken all viable

[fleet oracle]

Interesting that carvalho was sold. Clearly not good enough for the first team cam or as the backup

[lavish parcel]

Can Jota play on right?

[cedar hull]

He can

[acoustic edge]

diaz can play on the right asw

[cedar hull]

But not preferred

I know they can all play on the right, but its not their natural position

[fleet oracle]

All our left wingers could play on the right, but would rather be on the left, and would perform better on the left

[cerulean cape]

Bradley rw

[acoustic edge]

taa rw

Bradley played st for dungannon swifts lol

[earnest torrent]

But not in time for Spurs

Porro stonks

[quick dawn]

yeah

[lavish parcel]

honestly either or works

your bench is strong enough

what you'd probably be worried about is quansah losing his place

[quick dawn]

yeah

i have enough options that i can cope with that

i dont really trust villa’s defence but we have better fix gw3-5

targeting gw6 wc

[cerulean cape]

He has 2 back up 4.5m defs, least of his worries

[lavish parcel]

if you're set on wcing in that week I would prefer villa

everton fix don't get really good until later

[quick dawn]

i was on eze and solanke but swapped for bruno and muniz today

[broken patio]

Kinda frightening

I have Salah but am on isak

Salah eo won't be enough to hurt me right?

[lavish parcel]

EO doesn't really mean anything in gw1

[quick dawn]

i just wouldnt have salah unless you cap him

[broken patio]

Well a lot of people have Haaland but aren't capping him so I don't get that argument ngl

[lavish parcel]

he's 34% owned, so if half of his owners cap him you're at around 50%

[earnest torrent]

Yeah its going to be inflated with the early chips

[quick dawn]

im capping haaland gw2-4

[quick dawn]

good deal for both clubs

now we gotta go for felix

[cerulean cape]

So they sold him to sheff utd, bought him back with clause

Then sold again?

[quick dawn]

we had to buy back

[lavish parcel]

villa paid 16m to (effectively) loan philogene to hull for a year

[cerulean cape]

Cos they went down I guess ye

[quick dawn]

more like 7

[cerulean cape]

Still funny tbf

[quick dawn]

we had a sell on clause transferred to ourselves

because we were the buyers

[cerulean cape]

Cunha fit for arsenal

[earnest torrent]

I have a feeling this Felix transfer going down to deadline whether if its to you or us

[cerulean cape]

@slim bane fucked

felix to chelsea is dumb

Barnes has had a strong preseason but Gordon looked so hungry in his 45 mins last week that I would be very surprised if he doesn't start on the left.

Murphy has been unreal in preseason, but there is a small possibility that he would start Gordon right and Barnes left...

[quick dawn]

Means more than a non fan

[lavish parcel]

howe is annoying

[cerulean cape]

For the record, I think Gordon is benched

[thin jasper]

I really really want Harvey Barnes to consistently start I think he could be so good for 6.5

[lavish parcel]

good morning random I am sorry your club is suffering

[cerulean cape]

He got you relegated though

[thin jasper]

I’ve already given up

[thin jasper]

He was like the one player that consistently put in at least a 6.5-7/10 if not higher

[lavish parcel]

hey my club's bottom of its league too

[thin jasper]

I’d put the blame on him last

[thin jasper]

It’s tanking for a first round pick right

[lavish parcel]

MLS doesn't even have drafts

at least the other norcal teams are doing good

oak roots and sac republic top 3 of USL west

[broken patio]

Is there any hope of staying up?

I don't know loads about any of the promoted teams but all the talk surrounding Leicester in particular sound really negative atm

[thin jasper]

I think the squad is alright but it really needs a striker and a bit of depth

But we lost our last three preseason games and there really seems like no direction

Plus points deductions up to six points too

[lavish parcel]

uncle abdul needs to carry

[thin jasper]

He ain’t got a striker to feed goals too 😭

We’ve got one fit striker at the club and I don’t think Cooper believes in him

[quick dawn]

They all look shite

But i think thats how the league is trending

Oops message didnt send for 10 mins

[cerulean cape]

Fuck I might not be home before 4.30 either, will update you if it happens sorry

[slim bane]

I have a sneaking suspicion Saliba will be benched for no reason but oh well

[cerulean cape]

No chance

[slim bane]

Arteta talking timber up

[little delta]

No one has haaland + salah?

all i see is haaland + saka

[zenith jolt]

haaland and saka has the best cap for 9/10 of first 10 weeks

iirc

[quick dawn]

prefer isak + haaland + son

[zenith jolt]

isak + haaland + saka

[lavish parcel]

only gw I'm scared of is 5

without mo

[quick dawn]

yes

thats why i have son

[lavish parcel]

yeah spurs in 5 are a good shout

if I still have son by then

[quick dawn]

seems the best non salah captain

[lavish parcel]

I'd either still be on son or have moved to ollie

ideally

[quick dawn]

villa vs wolves is usually 1-0 or 0-0 it feels like

[lavish parcel]

oh just meant to own not strictly cap

[acoustic edge]

just firm it - the EV diff from haaland to salah in gw2 is higher than the ev diff of salah to haaland in 5

[slim bane]

I don’t even have Saka

[quick dawn]

isak gw1, haaland gw2 gw3 gw4, son gw5

Ownership definitely plays a part in puntiness

[kind cosmos]

Did you release the VAMP thread on reddit as per usual this year too @slim bane

Its not the sole contributor but it plays a part for sure

[latent depot]

just in case you want triple palace outfield is such a wild reason

im going for template henderson

[frank mulch]

👍

Bench is overrated anyway

Money itb is where it’s at

[quick dawn]

i have 2 4.5 def on bench for rotation and if hall and quansah get benched

still dunno pau vs mykolenko but it wont really matter

[lavish parcel]

feels like a coin toss

[quick dawn]

mykolenko has a bit more attacking threat

the thing is i wont play them usually anyway

hall/quansah are better except for the 1 bad fix they both have

ill start hall every week except vs spurs

[latent depot]

just as I thought, Gordon comment in context sounds completely reasonable "all late returners are physically fit and ready to play, they showed that in preseason. are they 100%? probably not, but they're very close to it" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtUJy_OOCMc&t=1472s

[quick dawn]

and if quansah is 4.5 pool def you wanna play him as well

[lavish parcel]

lateriser you troll

ill end up benching robinson vs leicester maybe

if a player realistically has a 75% chance of starting

so it comes out to 100%

[cedar pine]

Pretty settled on my team just havertz plus white vs saka plus munoz left really

[thin jasper]

do you think white is worth the 0.5 over saliba gabriel

[slim bane]

No

[thin jasper]

but if you dont have a spurs defender already I think I like Saka + Udogie more

[violet temple]

Even with nketiah rumors?

[acoustic edge]

i need for the first 3

[lavish parcel]

I prefer the second by a mile

[acoustic edge]

do you think nket comes into the team immediately @violet temple

[violet temple]

No but if they sign him by the coming week he should play gw 3

[cedar pine]

I think if you subscribe to the thinking that gabriel will start until you want to wc no

I'm not confident in gabriel doing that, so it's saliba vs white for me and it's kind of close for me

[thin jasper]

I think then just go Saliba

I really can't imagine White getting that many more points

But I still prefer Saka + 5.0 defender anyway

[acoustic edge]

yeah i just don’t back gabriel starting every one of the next 10

[cedar pine]

How are you guys feeling about gordon btw

[prime plinth]

So Amad is confirmed starting?

[slim bane]

he’ll come on even if he doesn’t start

[cedar pine]

I'm like a bit tempted to find a way to get rid of him that I can rationalize is a good move
