Perri's joined

[quick dawn]

injured rn

[lavish parcel]

Ill follow the news and press

Is he

That's nice if I want darlow

[quick dawn]

yes he could recover but if they say hes not ready the darlow is reasonable likely to start

[lavish parcel]

Saves me another 0.5

Meslier fell off that hard huh?

The second gk spot and the last defender spot is a little tricky but other than that, I don't see any change in the team

Also kinsky too

He played I think 90 mins last friendly

The super Cup and the Bayern game will prolly tell us who's gw1 gk for spurs

But then triple spurs 💀

Nvm, I can use that 0.5 to upgrade Spence

[zenith jolt]

er

[cedar hull]

[latent depot]

Ok what the actual fuck, United given green light to talk to Watkins

[wanton whale]

NOO

[latent depot]

Watkins is "keen" on the move

[wanton whale]

i guess ill just own bruno then

[latent depot]

Sounds like if Sesko goes to Newcastle, United goes for Watkins

[acoustic edge]

who tf is villas backup striker

i would cop jackson at villa tbf

[keen wren]

Malen easy

[cedar hull]

Source?

[wanton whale]

imagine tho

[latent depot]

Is hoever expected to start

[surreal ocean]

what the bloody hell

wood, you're in son

[cedar hull]

Where's the source

[latent depot]

Google

[surreal ocean]

google dot com?

[placid flame]

is there actually any link for it, i dont seem to be able to find anything

[surreal ocean]

mcgrrr with fake news

[cedar hull]

Mcgrrr bomba

Mcgrr tier 4, first Rodrygo rumours now this

[latent depot]

🍿

Tarkowski/Hoever rotation is really nice 👀 bro covers GW5/8

Leeds (H) Sun (A) when Tark plays Liverpool (A) City (A)

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-senator-armstrong-revengeance-i-made-it-the-fuck-up-gif-25029602

[elder cargo]

I think Wolves are close to signing a potential starter over Hoever

Juanlu Sanchez

[quick dawn]

we would sign someone for certain

anyway theres no talk about it on the villa subreddit

hoever probably wouldnt start anyway

btw i think watkins would be happy to leave but we wont sell unless we get a good offer

if man utd offer 60 and we can find a replacement wed probably sell

[trail forum]

all the effort to win a tournament, have a cool gold name for a week, then it gets trounced by new name colours the next week

[cedar hull]

villa might be getting guessand ffs

[novel harbor]

guessand..

what happened to wissa

or whoever else they were linked to

[cedar hull]

?

villa werent linked to wissa

thats newcastle

[novel harbor]

oh

lol

[lone thorn]

Gakpo went from 2.5 to 3.6% overnight

[cedar hull]

ill take under 5%

[lone thorn]

yh, hopefully

[elder cargo]

less people with a gold name so it clears

is the dynamic colour name thing new

or did shag only just bother to use it now

[trail forum]

i think its new

[lone thorn]

need a certain number of boosts to unlock it

[broken patio]

Does the server get to choose what the 2 colours in the dynamic name are?

Or do you just pick one and it makes one out of it?

[broken patio]

Rip watkins

[hollow ermine]

Fs

[cedar hull]

he can play rw tbf, rip malen

[hollow ermine]

Who’s villa’s lw or are they using 2 10’s again

[hollow ermine]

Think he’s just general attack cover

[carmine arch]

i will not be brain rotted by review

[elder cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-crying-pray-black-man-pray-black-%26-white-pray-gif-14477921399029073299

[elder cargo]

did you get review

just asking so I can slander you if you don’t do well each week

[carmine arch]

no

i didnt

[novel harbor]

so if watkins leaves who’s everyone getting instead?

[cedar hull]

nothing concrete yet tbh

mcgrr stirring things up as per

[novel harbor]

has solio released

[carmine arch]

bb2 WC4 !!!

[latent depot]

[wanton whale]

jesus christ

[keen wren]

Analcord is hyped 😈

[valid river]

NFO starting main lineup

Also

Someone @'d me here but I cant filter messages so gg

[cedar hull]

civil war time

[elder cargo]

Ndoye Watch

[valid river]

Malen is still good pick right

Tomorrow Villa play Roma so we should see then

Id imagine he a good pick still

[wanton whale]

Sorry was crashing out at fpl chat

[valid river]

Welcome back

[lone thorn]

Anderson

[valid river]

What

[pale tiger]

ndoye 👀

[valid river]

If malen is too risky I'll have to go caicedo

[wanton whale]

Ndoye being 6m is so annoying

[valid river]

Why

[pale tiger]

bro almost scored

[valid river]

Almost

[pale tiger]

need wood

[wanton whale]

6m is an annoying price point

[keen wren]

It loves Leeds def too lmao

[latent depot]

who's going to be the Villa GK??

[novel harbor]

is martinez gone or something?

[latent depot]

err transfer rumours

[supple steeple]

rumours because they have to sell someone

for PSR

apparently

[prime plinth]

[latent depot]

23/24 was an anomale

stepped up in KDB's absence

[prime plinth]

I mean 4.5 ppm for 6.5m Is still good

[latent depot]

4.5 is the floor for Tarkowski

[prime plinth]

Assuming he maintains the numbers. 4.5 is also the flaw for rodri

[valid river]

Flaw

[prime plinth]

Rodri can be a wait. Could be relevant compared to semenyo types

[prime plinth]

Flaw

[valid river]

The flaw

[novel harbor]

solio backing 4-5-1

[prime plinth]

I started it

Solanke probably gotta go

[novel harbor]

very very similar to my own team actually except its backing tielemans over anderson

and no tark :(

[valid river]

I mean I think malen > tielemans no?

Is piroe still first choice ST for leeds

[novel harbor]

so do i

[novel harbor]

think so

[valid river]

Interesting

Solanke bro needs to clutch up vs bayern

[cerulean cape]

the andy effect

[valid river]

Do we think Malen>Caicedo>Reijnders>Adingra?

[hollow ermine]

Solio out?

[supple steeple]

I mean

[hollow ermine]

I will be there despite not understanding a lick of what’s being posted

[supple steeple]

malen is only better if you know he's starting

if he's not starting he is so much worse

so you cant really rate them in that way

if Emery came out and said "Malen will start every game he can" he'd prob be one of the most owned players

[valid river]

He's done very well in preseason so let's just hope

[novel harbor]

time to see what it thinks of the 4-5-1 thats doing rounds in here

[valid river]

Result?

[cedar hull]

solio has per game cbit projections tf

[surreal ocean]

solio take all my data

just give me top 10k

[wanton whale]

forest look woeful going forward icl

playing wood and jesus together has not been working

[novel harbor]

playing around with risk settings (but overall not a big fan)

[valid river]

What's the news with the Darlow thing

[valid river]

Yeah we need to play a 4-2-3-1 again

Is darlow likely to be starting GK for gw1?

I guess depends on injury

[wanton whale]

fr, i mean nuno has been changing formation each game right?

[valid river]

Yup

Heaps

[wanton whale]

something will click hopefully

[valid river]

Yeah defensively it'll be fine

And wood is reliable

[wanton whale]

yeah defensively im not worried

[valid river]

Villa play Roma tomorrow then Roma play again vs Everton like 2 days after

Crazy

Soblanke hat trick on kanes head would be fun too

[supple steeple]

@valid river who is this Cunha guy

and is he really 198cm

[surreal ocean]

surprised that this is free lol

feels high budget

[acoustic edge]

solio glazes forest

W for this thread

[acoustic edge]

going paid september

[surreal ocean]

damn

i knew it

fpl has gone too far

[novel harbor]

ok i think ive gone through every possible scenario for my team lol

[surreal ocean]

mfw i stochasticly plan and get beat by a guy who missed the deadline

[novel harbor]

i wonder if they're staring at my account confused

[hollow ermine]

Giving solio my kids I think

[surreal ocean]

putting my five year plan into solio

[hollow ermine]

Honestly app looks great

Site

But

I just cba

[valid river]

Just a solid Brazilian cb

[hollow ermine]

Putting different plans, checking odds every week, absolute vs relative

I cba

[lavish parcel]

Mate if guessand joins villa, what happens to Watkins?

Does he move

[cedar hull]

guessand can play anywhere front 3, mostly cf/rw

malen is the pick thats died now imo

watkins mostly fine

[lavish parcel]

No Malen

[latent depot]

Watkins seems to be plan B if United don't get Sesko

[lavish parcel]

My BB is mudded then

Surely he doesn't start ahead of Malen right?

I expected* villa to start all 3 Watkins + Malen + Rogers

[latent depot]

prob initially

[lavish parcel]

Just gw1

Malen and Fullkrug need to get just one return and I'll be happy

What's a decent score from BB in your guys' opinion?

Like 15-20

Or 10-15

[valid river]

10-15

If I have verbruggen, Malen, Baleba, rodon

If they get 15 I'll be vibing

[surreal ocean]

what tab is this ?

[cedar hull]

just click on the fixture in projections and it shows the cbit %

[surreal ocean]

oh yeahh i got it

ty

[novel harbor]

pushing more andersen propaganda

[valid river]

Okay we might be the worst offensive side in the league

:)

[surreal ocean]

scoring against fiorentina isnt for everyone

[obtuse shoal]

So basically wood has 100% of Forest’s goals in preseason

[wanton whale]

not touching forest attack til they sort this out

[quick dawn]

villa are signing a player

get in

[acoustic edge]

better be the 1st or it’s j bureaucratic degeneration

[latent depot]

out of my team

[wanton whale]

people really picking a forest dm 😭

[lone thorn]

he was playing more higher up and attcking last szn with a dm beside him, this 2 st formation ain't it

[wanton whale]

yeah Nuno gotta change something quick

forcing wood and jesus up top together is tragic

[lone thorn]

2w in their last 15

[wanton whale]

idc they look decent defensively thats all i care about

[latent depot]

I'm on triple defence now

[broken patio]

Does guessand affect watkins' xmins much?

[latent depot]

doubt

[quick dawn]

i doubt it

[broken patio]

Calm

[quick dawn]

he could get subbed in theory

[broken patio]

That's fine

[quick dawn]

or guessand is just a winger

probably

[novel harbor]

send?

[quick dawn]

the team i posted earlier slaps

[latent depot]

Mostly 442, except 541 GW2, hopefully 352 GW4 with just Murrilo playing for DC points. WC7

[wanton whale]

get ready to take watkins out 😔

[latent depot]

Are United talks concrete now?

[wanton whale]

depends where sesko goes i think

[latent depot]

Yeah agreed, heard Sesko prefers United

[wanton whale]

but Watkins is clearly happy to go

[wanton whale]

damn didnt newcastle put a higher bid as well

[cedar hull]

Yeah sesko prefer united, Newcastle higher bid, if Leipzig accept United's bid they have him, if they reject it since it's lower he goes newc

Smart by united ngl

[latent depot]

then Newcastle get Wissa right

[quick dawn]

you can just have an 8.5 mid over solanke

[valid river]

The more I look, the better Bowen looks

Over Solanke

[orchid plank]

Villa don’t want to sell

[wanton whale]

not suprised

[valid river]

Bowen over Solanke if he doesn't bag vs bayern

Don't meme me

[latent depot]

what if I don't want that

[broken patio]

I refuse to fall for the solanke gw1 trap again

I also don't love Bowen though

[latent depot]

Solanke has such good attacking fix except GW2, I'm going there if he's fit

[broken patio]

This is where you benefit from not watching football mcgrr

[latent depot]

GW3 Bournemouth at home are dead in the water at the moment

[acoustic edge]

p apprehensive of wood mins gw4 btw

[broken patio]

Watching solanke causes physical pain

[latent depot]

how are you watching him when bro isn't fit

[acoustic edge]

football and fpl are detached for me

[latent depot]

oh you mean his missed chances last season

[obtuse shoal]

I maybe saw two full games of PL the past 3 seasons

[wanton whale]

Im loving the teams with no Salah but own both Gakpo and Wirtz 😭

makes so much sense

[latent depot]

Salah beating all of the 5.5s on VAPM is wild

[quick dawn]

could easily work

[broken patio]

They haven't learned from people trying to do this before with Jota and Diaz

[wanton whale]

its basically attempting to 'cover' Salahs returns with other pool attackers

it never works

[broken patio]

Man it feels so fucked to talk about Jota in FPL now

[wanton whale]

Fr the fact he was in alot of our teams last season

😔

[latent depot]

aJota teams

[broken patio]

Yup was in my gw1 team

[wanton whale]

Jota goal Salah assist, what a start that was

[cedar hull]

I swear he was absolutely insane at 6.5 once

[marsh palm]

I’m just Haaland + Gakpo

I can’t even afford Wirtz

[wanton whale]

thats valid

[broken patio]

Yeah his first season at Liverpool he was super cheap and insanely good for a decent amount of time, to the point where capping him over Salah was a regular debate

[quick dawn]

no its not its because if you dont have salah you can get another pool player and its whether haaland and wirtz will outscore salah and wood/solanke, they can easily

and wirtz and gakpo looks like good picks

or you can get all 3

[marsh palm]

Cheeky RMT but just waiting on Wissa/Isak/Watkins/Sesko debacles

Oh and Malen now too

[broken patio]

I mean I'd judge wirtz and gakpo desperate to salah

It's Salah or haaland

The other Liverpool attackers can fit into either

[orchid plank]

Wait and see I guess with Villa having 3 more games before prem starts

[broken patio]

If you have Haaland gakpo wirtz that's totally fine, but not because the Liverpool guys cover Salah - because Haaland does

(maybe)

[marsh palm]

Haaland should to start

Wirtz will be a pre-assist merchant

[broken patio]

W i d e b e n c h

[marsh palm]

iPad

[quick dawn]

well yes it is haaland vs salah at the end of the day but it depends if you want vvd or you dont want triple pool mids

[latent depot]

Haaland 6-9 points from 1 goal, Salah 7-11 points from 1 goal

[quick dawn]

yeah that is true

[marsh palm]

VVD isn’t worth it when you can either triple up on Forest or go Tark + 2 Forest

And get similar returns with higher upside across the board

[latent depot]

if only Branthwaite was fit, I'd be on 5.5/5.5/5.5/5.5 and probably Lacroix

[lone thorn]

+2 for Haaland, will get 12 cbrit every match from barging players + shielding

[marsh palm]

Rubbish offence

[latent depot]

that defence scores 12 goals tbf

[marsh palm]

Also Esteve is worth it as a 4.0 punt

[cedar hull]

Could easily get Rogers/gakpo/Watkins/planer with that structure

[marsh palm]

5.5/5.5/5.5/5/4

[quick dawn]

not a punt

[marsh palm]

Then what is he

[quick dawn]

good pick

[latent depot]

Epunt

[marsh palm]

No Salah or Haaland is detrimental

[lone thorn]

i'm on 6/5.5/5.5/5.5/4.5

[cedar hull]

Obviously with Salah mate

[marsh palm]

And then your bench is horrid

[cedar hull]

What's your team

[lone thorn]

King better come through bro

got him in

[quick dawn]

eh i dont have king now i have a bloody 451

451 is such a bad structure but i dont like any fwds

[marsh palm]

Hold on that actually works @cedar hull

[cedar hull]

Yeah no shit mate

[latent depot]

my defence is 5.5/5.5/5.5/5.0/5.0, so just 0.5 off what I posted above and my offence is this?

[cedar hull]

Defenders have a 6.0 ceiling they're cheap af

[marsh palm]

What’s your bench

[quick dawn]

you mean this?

[cedar hull]

Well..no, that wasn't the structure we were talking about

Teams fine though

[latent depot]

btw Leeds 4.5 GK is now expected to be fit for GW1

just a niggle

xNiggle going wild

[lone thorn]

need Dubravs to burnley asap

[quick dawn]

ok dubravka comes in

[cedar hull]

Do I trust mcgrr with his source this time

[quick dawn]

the issue with this is

when any forward like mateta looks good

ur stuck

[latent depot]

yes, that's why I haven't gone for this setup

[marsh palm]

Not bad for 5.5/5.5/5.5/5.5/5

Actually really good

[latent depot]

one of several reasons

[lone thorn]

u need to be constantly stacking fts

[marsh palm]

BB1 potential if a 4.0 starts

[cedar hull]

Beto on the bench

[latent depot]

just like IRL

[marsh palm]

Bratha I said BB1

[cedar hull]

He's not even nailed

[marsh palm]

He’ll start GW1

[latent depot]

Everton's away attack was bottom 3 including relegated teams

[marsh palm]

@cedar hull Since you said what’s your team

[marsh palm]

You can go Muniz then

Or whoever

[cedar hull]

It's posted somewhere here

[marsh palm]

They’re placeholders its not my team

[lone thorn]

might not tbh, did u see what Moyes said, not happy with him needs to improve and the only reason Barry hasn't been starting in friendlies is bcus he's had less of a preszn

[cedar hull]

Sounds like an early sub

[marsh palm]

I think its probably a 60m sub

I saw the report and then I saw Everton fans saying its more of motivation then what’s likely

Their next preseason game is likely their GW1 lineup

[cedar hull]

Wouldn't spend 1m on a fwd for BB for 60min

[lone thorn]

i hate bb1 tbh

[cedar hull]

Same

[latent depot]

BB2 is somewhat acceptable, cos you have double Burnley and Guiu for minimum spend

[marsh palm]

Then when will you BB

[latent depot]

but surely there's a better opportunity later in the season when you don't just have promoted shitters on the bench

[lone thorn]

afcon

[marsh palm]

Or better yet when will you WC

So you’re gonna BB after your WC

[lone thorn]

no, bb19

wc when fixtures turn

[cerulean cape]

We'll know who the good cheap defs/mids/fwds are later in the season so bb arguably easier then too

[marsh palm]

Yeah I meant

Not the week after

You’re going to WC with the thought of BB in mind

Fair

I wouldn’t

Just because if you go with a Salah team and you WC13

You can just put all that money into an 11

[quick dawn]

guiu can easily not start

i think he will price drop due to casuals

or people switching formations

[lone thorn]

don't even need to bcus i can just be braindead and use 10fts for bb19😂

[marsh palm]

Wdym

FTs will stack?

[lone thorn]

stack upto 5, use em, then get another 5

[marsh palm]

Thought the max would still be 5 no?

[cedar hull]

Don't think any casuals know about his move tbh

[lone thorn]

use em

[marsh palm]

I’m blind

[cedar hull]

5 for afcon and then 5 more by gw19 mate

[latent depot]

my long term team structure will prob be a 532/442 rotation with a DC merchant 4.5 mid and Guiu. So BB will be when all defenders have ok fixture, Dubravka has good fix, and hopefully Guiu is starting by then

[cerulean cape]

So gw2

[quick dawn]

esteve 11% guiu 5%

[marsh palm]

How are you gonna get 5 between 16 and 19

[quick dawn]

most people really are casuals

[marsh palm]

?

[cedar hull]

He just rounded bro it's not that deep

[latent depot]

not ruling it out

[marsh palm]

Guiu wont start by GW2

Is it still not Mayenda then Isidor

[cedar hull]

If he gets 1 point for a 0.5m bench boost idc

That's fine

[latent depot]

but I have King, who prob won't be starting yet GW2

the hope is that he starts GW4

[quick dawn]

isildur

[marsh palm]

Yeah but I dont even know when he’d go in

[lone thorn]

King gng

[quick dawn]

ive tricked people into picking king

[marsh palm]

Isidor is probably an early sub for Mayenda

[lone thorn]

wtf bro

[latent depot]

Potts is kinda underwhelming, didn't even have good CBITs for a mid Championship team

[quick dawn]

i think cbit is more team dependent

like konsa doesnt get cbits but hes a great defender

[latent depot]

yeah, West Ham is a shithousing team

[latent depot]

he's only staying if he starts all preseason games

[quick dawn]

the thing is if he starts then hes good enough to start most weeks probably

[latent depot]

oh, Fulham have only 1 more

didn't realise that Brentford are just collecting Liverpool rejects

Kelleher, Hendo, VDB, Carvalho

[quick dawn]

i forgot hendo joined

[broken patio]

Hendo is actually a really good signing for them

[little delta]

wtf forest another 0-0

what is going on

[broken patio]

Forest Def looks good

It's almost a good thing that they can't attack

They're gonna have to rely on their defence

2 goals scored in 6 preseason games

[latent depot]

11 points hauls incoming for just a clean sheet

[quick dawn]

yeah thats good tbf

[broken patio]

@latent depot would you prefer
Murillo + 4.5 keeper
Or
Neco + 5m keeper?

5m keeper probably Sanchez? Could be tempted by sels

[quick dawn]

cant believe ive sold vvd for a nottingham forest defender

[latent depot]

when do you intend to WC?

[broken patio]

I don't know really

I'm planning for 13

Could go earlier if my team needs it

[humble dust]

1 lol

[broken patio]

Oh yeah lmaoo

[latent depot]

Murillo is the only one that I'd start GW4 vs Arsenal

[quick dawn]

i dont think its that bad to play them

i suppose you could free hit if you wanted

[latent depot]

Neco/Milenkovic didn't get any DC points vs Arsenal

Murillo got it once

and just gets more CBITs generally

[quick dawn]

im sure we will bench milenkovix when he scores

[latent depot]

oh wait, Neco got DCs in his only game vs Arsenal

I don't like Sanchez, but you seem insistent on WC13 so it can't be terrible

[novel harbor]

its pretty much sanchez or raya to me

or myb petrovic

but basically those 2

sanchez just good midpoint

[slim bane]

Are yall FHing to get out of tough fix or to capitalise on ez fix

[quick dawn]

is neco actually nearly as good as the cbs

i dunno

[novel harbor]

former

[latent depot]

FH13 is both

[quick dawn]

ill get kelleher or petro

[novel harbor]

ye

[quick dawn]

i never have money left over

[novel harbor]

ive been doing some tinkering and ive basically got my ideal transfer/chip plan based on my fav draft rn

[slim bane]

Was thinking which one fixture I’d be scared to have pool it’s pool v mci

Cos city just shut the ball down basically

[latent depot]

I'm WC7, so I like Kelleher. one random 10 pointer and he'll be worth it. he needs 21 points GW1-6 to be great value

it's hard for e.g. Sanchez to hit 22 with his 6 point clean sheets

[slim bane]

However that’s only like 3-4 players so

Not sure it’s worth the FH

The other tough fix might be v Chelsea but if I don’t own defenders I’m not worried

[little delta]

many people put off by wood now?

[latent depot]

I wasn't keen on Wood to begin with

definitely not interested now

missing Elanga's crosses

[little delta]

and forest cant score

defence good tho

[novel harbor]

not entirely becuz i always take pre season with a grain of salt but definitely praying solanke is fit

otherwise evanilson + strand larsen pool + city gw1 it is

[broken patio]

Both

[slim bane]

So which gw is that

[broken patio]

Missing elanga as an outball too

[broken patio]

6

[slim bane]

Oh my name is mixed colour now too

[supple steeple]

who gave you cup winner

wasnt that 200 years ago

shouldnt count

[slim bane]

Cos of palace pool?

[broken patio]

Well and arsenal Newcastle

But Newcastle look shit so arsenal probably fine to play in that

But also to capitalise on city Vs Burnley

[slim bane]

But I don’t have any ars atm and that too

[supple steeple]

whats your ID beef

[slim bane]

And if I run Forest they’re alr against Sunderland

[supple steeple]

you can dm me if you dont want to share

publicly

[slim bane]

I’m sure we’ll be able to find later

[broken patio]

73616

[slim bane]

There’s a league for this thread anw

[broken patio]

I think

[quick dawn]

i think i was in the gym so couldnt be bothered to get a low id

[broken patio]

Fh13 does make sense

We're gonna be tripled on arsenal and probably some Chelsea and they play eachother

And both Liverpool and city have good fix

[latent depot]

you're coming around

Raya/Gabriel/Palmer minimum and prob no City to avoid roulette, so FH to triple City

[broken patio]

Still like wc13 though

[marsh palm]

WC13 is the way to go

[marsh palm]

Pras

[broken patio]

Go heavy on city and pool

[marsh palm]

You’re not fooling me

[orchid plank]

Then you can get to Haaland with fts for 15 when he has sunderland then you’d get 5fts back in gw16 with the afcon stuff

[marsh palm]

I want to go triple Forest defence but GW4 is shaky

[broken patio]

Arsenal and Chelsea aren't that high so the fact they play eachother in 13 is fine, won't have many from either team on WC

[latent depot]

go heavy on City in December, what could go wrong

[broken patio]

There's always people who play almost every game

[marsh palm]

We’re going heavy on United by then

[broken patio]

Gvardiol, Haaland, rodri for instance

[marsh palm]

Bruno Mbuemo Cunha midfield

[latent depot]

point is Arsenal/Chelsea fix runs continue past 13 if you FH13

[broken patio]

Yeah I see that

[orchid plank]

Chelsea’s fixtures suits perfectly

[broken patio]

Makes sense

[orchid plank]

Both promoted teams on each side of the fh

[quick dawn]

wc7 fh13?

[slim bane]

I think it’ll be impt to constantly revisit

Perhaps some teams are better than expected

[quick dawn]

or wc4 if our teams all go to shit

[slim bane]

Some teams are way worse off

[latent depot]

don't really understand WC to Salah/Haland cos you're going to take all the money out of e.g. Palmer

[marsh palm]

WC13*

[slim bane]

I’m contemplating salah haaland even

[orchid plank]

Can’t sell Palmer before Leeds in 14 surely

[novel harbor]

been on this since i started making drafts pretty much

[slim bane]

Haven’t looked at how or what to do with chips tho

[broken patio]

Uhhhhhhhh

[novel harbor]

just matches up perfectly

[broken patio]

Brain hurts

[quick dawn]

im too lazy to plan like this

[broken patio]

This is how you get ahead of the pack though

[latent depot]

Haaland is a red herring, it's so hard for him to justify his price

[novel harbor]

its alot easier to think through when teams/gameweeks are right in front of you tbh

[wanton whale]

new gradient damn

[broken patio]

I do worry about not being able to make it to WC13 ngl, I always end up wildcarding early

[latent depot]

I might only own Haaland on my 2 free hits

[novel harbor]

if solio went up to gw13 id be chilling

[marsh palm]

i’m gonna plan 13 weeks ahead just to knee jerk salah back into my lineup

[latent depot]

I think FH is the perfect chip to target City

[novel harbor]

ye it is

[orchid plank]

Surely gw15 you get to him with transfers for Sunderland as you would get 5fts back the following week?

depending on how many afcon players you have etc

[broken patio]

@latent depot so gw6, you capping Palmer?

[marsh palm]

why wouldn’t you own haaland from gw 15-19

[latent depot]

err, we'll see after GW5

not like Palace are a great defence

[marsh palm]

also gw9

haaland tc gw9

he plays burnley at home iirc

[broken patio]

Yeah if Salah is a viable cap in gw6 then fh6 loses a lot of it's appeal

[novel harbor]

i dont think ill ever plan tc

[broken patio]

That's gw6

[marsh palm]

oh

[orchid plank]

where alot will be playing fh then

[latent depot]

Haaland is ownerable after Salah goes to Afcon

there's no budget otherwise

[broken patio]

4 6 13

[marsh palm]

you can bb then tho

no haaland or salah for those timeframes

and then bb like 16 or 19

[latent depot]

TBH I prob won't own Haaland even after Salah leaves, because that's the perfect opportunity to triple on Gakpo and friends

[orchid plank]

I don’t see 6 as a good fh window tbf

[latent depot]

never understood FH6

[cedar hull]

It's good for palace/arsenal and to get triple city for Burnley and best cap in haaland, depends on team

Fh4/6/13 are popular

[broken patio]

Idk what I'd do with my double palace Def if I don't fh6 then

Romero in I guess

[novel harbor]

fh15 will probs be popular too during the actual season

[cedar hull]

Gab is back

[orchid plank]

so your forced to have arsenal against city in gw5 and come back to gw7 team with double palace away at Everton

[latent depot]

FH13 is 3x Bournemouth, 3x Brentford, 3x City, 3x Liverpool, and that's your 11 + 1st bench

[cedar hull]

Why you acting like away at Everton is a bad fix tho

If we think away at Everton is a tough fix, then there's very few good ones

[broken patio]

Have you got a graphic of fh13 fixtures somewhere?

[latent depot]

might as well 3x Villa

[sterile tree]

everton is the easiest fixture to farm cbit btw especially under moyes

[latent depot]

relevant fix

[orchid plank]

Also have have Arsenal away 2 weeks after the fh

[cedar hull]

Then sell them by then idk, but don't say Everton is now a bad fix

[latent depot]

so 3x on LIV/MCI/BOU/BRE/AVL = 15 players, ez game

[cedar hull]

What's the reason behind fh over WC in 13 again

[orchid plank]

fair i just dont see teams which have good fixtures around the fh that’s worth other than the reason for triple city and best cap haaland

[latent depot]

you avoid Arsenal vs Chelsea. I will have Raya/Gabriel/Palmer minimum. Arsenal's good fix continue until GW20, Chelsea until GW19. I expect to have 0 City, and will FH into triple

[marsh palm]

When you do WC in this scenario tho

[orchid plank]

7 or 9

[latent depot]

WC7 for me

3x Forest and Kelleher is already 4 transfers out

[orchid plank]

Don’t Chelsea have Pool and Forest in 7 and 8?

[latent depot]

I don't understand, unless you think that's a problem for Palmer

[slim bane]

Yea ofc it is

[orchid plank]

Would u not want to have more than one chelsea asset tho

[slim bane]

idk which palmer to trust

[orchid plank]

If your on fh13

[slim bane]

Are we getting Second half Palmer or cwc Palmer

[latent depot]

only if another Chelsea asset emerges. nobody else is particularly appealing

[orchid plank]

Enzo? Cucu?

[cedar hull]

Not exactly appealing

[novel harbor]

fs might actually have to go with 5-4-1

[orchid plank]

you surely can’t just go on one chelsea asset which everyone will have regardless fh13 or not

basically just defeats the strength of ur fh

[latent depot]

my 5 defenders will be CBIT farmers, so that's nobody from Chelsea. I'll be running a mix of 532 and 442, so I only have 6 attacking slots. That's Salah/Palmer +4, not really room for Chelsea unless a forward cements himself

I'm not planning everything that's months away

I expect to have triple Arsenal tho

[slim bane]

With cbit even our defs aren’t as appealing

[latent depot]

no way would I keep Palmer on FH13

[slim bane]

And our attack isn’t as stellar as pools

[cedar hull]

Gab is still good

[latent depot]

but your fix GW7-20 is wild with FH13

[zenith jolt]

OMG colour update thank god

[slim bane]

[latent depot]

either side of Chelsea away

[slim bane]

This applies if we’re actually good this season

[latent depot]

good enough to finish top 3

[slim bane]

preseason has taught me we still suck at attacking

😭

[latent depot]

half the point of WC7 is to triple on Arsenal and hold until GW20

[slim bane]

Might mean I sac Munoz tho

Forest have a better opening 6

Unless run all of them in which case I need to drop someone

[latent depot]

Raya + Gabriel/Tark/Munoz/Lacroix/TBC prob my WC7 defence

[slim bane]

Nvm I got it

Here we go

TBC on vdv

Need to see if he’s nailed

[supple steeple]

why wouldnt he be nailed?

[slim bane]

Didn’t start last friendly iirc

[supple steeple]

hmm

[slim bane]

Danso started

[latent depot]

Danso marked Gyokeres out of the game tbf

3 touches in 15mins

[slim bane]

Gonna be expected

He won’t drop deep unlike Havertz

[valid river]

Nottingham suck at attacking

[latent depot]

This is where I'm at. 442 most of the time, 541 GW2, hopefully 352 GW4 with only Murillo playing for DC points, then WC7

[slim bane]

Yea wc7 makes spurs appealing

[valid river]

I'm so close to this but I got rid of pool assets and will fh4

[cedar hull]

What you doing gw4?

Neco + Murillo?

[latent depot]

352 if King is starting, plan B is Neco+Murrilo for DC farming

[valid river]

My team is basically the same but haaland instead of Salah

[cedar hull]

I actually dislike chips so much man

Cba for the planning

[latent depot]

I might start Milenkovic over Neco, prefer upside of shithousing a set piece goal to Neco YC

Murillo would be the one to start if 352 is possible

[valid river]

Youre team is like a 4(+1) -4-2 mines a 4-3(+1)-3

If that makes sense

[latent depot]

yes, the long term plan is 5ish core players and 7 rotating for the remaining 5 spots

[valid river]

I would but you save 0.5 with a 4.0 def vs 4.5 mid

[latent depot]

too much value in good defenders

[valid river]

Contextually

[broken patio]

@latent depot no love for spurs Def?

If wc7 don't they look good?

I guess you're all about data and there's no data

[latent depot]

no need to punt on them tbh

the others are known quantities, all great on CBITs

Spurs don't really offer the fixture coverage that I want. swap their GW1 with GW4 and it's more interesting

also it's annoying that the goal threat is a YC merchant (Romero) and the cheaper CB's job is to obstruct the GK on corners

VDV was manhandling Raya

[valid river]

My team has 2 risky assets which are malen and Solanke. The rest are super safe picks

[valid river]

He's captain now so maybe less y?

Yc**

[latent depot]

[novel harbor]

raya + saliba/tark/lacroix/dorgu is my wc7

very simialr

similar*

im doing 4-5-1 for it

then right after doing dorgu -> agbadou

for sunderland and burnley at home

where ill still have jsl

[latent depot]

Romero has 85 career cards at 1 card every 250mins. that's 13 cards per season cos he'd get suspended for 2 games

bro's not going to change

[novel harbor]

i have no clue when im bench boosting.. it may end up just being a random gw

[latent depot]

the candidate weeks are when Dubravka has a good fix

GW8 looks good, home to Leeds, Guiu also home to Wolves

Tark away at City

[marsh palm]

I have no idea what chips im going to use and when I just like this 15

My back 7 has been locked for like 4 days

[marsh palm]

He's confirmed to Burnley?

[valid river]

I wish I was in uni still like last year so I could fpl 24/7

[latent depot]

not yet

[marsh palm]

Im targetting a WC13 and BB1 which means FH?

[novel harbor]

gw 1-3: roll 3ft
gw4: wood + esteve -> van dijk + 4.5 fodder fwd
gw5: roll
gw6: van dijk + salah + jsl -> milenkovic + haaland + marmoush (hopefully if funds)
wc7: get haaland out and salah and strand larsen back in with raya + saliba/tark/lacroix/dorgu for defence and saka in for wirtz for threemium
gw8: dorgu -> agbadou
gw9: roll
gw10: idk myb roll or agbadou for andersen
gw11: roll
gw12: idk yet

the rough plan

[trail forum]

Bruh

[zenith jolt]

gw1-3: roll 3ft

[marsh palm]

Roll 3ft until you get punched in the mouth

(I wanna do that too)

[novel harbor]

eitherway i want 3ft going into fh13

so however i have to go about that

rebuking any injuries

[valid river]

I'm rolling till gw5

It will work

Until malen gets 20 mins gw1

And it's all over

[elder cargo]

[broken patio]

Damn so I went to make a wc7 team and it's almost the same as this, except I want wirtz instead of solanke

But saying that on paper doesn't sound great

Wirtz is such a tricky one

[slim bane]

That’s my team

[broken patio]

His g+a sits in the low 20s for the past few seasons

That's not really good enough for 8.5m

When it's a split of half goals half assists too

And it's not like he's gonna be the talisman hogging bonus

[cedar hull]

4 less games tbf

0.83 and 0.84 g/a 90 past two season

[marsh palm]

FH6 is popular but unironically this team with 2 or 3 transfers would be really good for GW6

Especially TCing Haaland

[cedar hull]

He overperforms expected data in both areas

[marsh palm]

I unironically think there's more value with Gakpo at 7.5

[broken patio]

Oh yeah gakpo is in anyway

[marsh palm]

Gakpo and Malen are my 2 guys

Gakpo will be the "least feared upon" of that ridiculous Liverpool offence and is nailed

Malen is a goal threat and is likely nailed to play alongside Rogers and Watkins

[valid river]

Where's big daddy donyell?

[broken patio]

Expecting some people here to have a fit after seeing Munoz+Neco over lacroix+milenkovic

[valid river]

What are you doing gw 4,5

[broken patio]

Praying

[valid river]

Hell yeah

If you have 0 pool And triple forest, and haaland cover for GW6 then FH4 is cool

[cedar hull]

2 but only for the bullet headers

It's just variance baiting either way

[cedar hull]

Villa just signed a winger/CF btw

Malens xmins gone down

[broken patio]

Not like Neco is gonna get any attacking returns with how forest are looking in preseason

[marsh palm]

I think he's overall cover

I would be surprised if Malen isnt starting

[cedar hull]

Malen with 60xmins

[latent depot]

Weird to get rid of Wood before GW5-6. He is a flat track bully. If you exclude the relegated teams he was very mediocre last season (except vs Brighton)

[valid river]

So true but so painful

[broken patio]

1 goal in 6 games

Wtf is going on?@valid river

[cedar hull]

Experimenting , not working

[valid river]

I could explain it

But

Tldr

2 striker

Not good

1 striker

Good

:)

[broken patio]

Understood

[valid river]

2 Dms good

1 dm not good

Aina didn't start either

[latent depot]

Nuno trying to play possession ball with a weird 442

[valid river]

Yes it was gross

Probs due to it being fiorentina

[latent depot]

FBs not offering much threat

[valid river]

But against Brentford palace etc it'll be 4-2-3-1

[latent depot]

Not sure what Jesus is supposed to do

[cedar hull]

Don't blame him for trying, Jesus shouldn't be a bench player

[latent depot]

Anderson best player

[valid river]

Europa League top scorere this year imo

[cedar hull]

Yeah hopefully he's your starting striker there

[latent depot]

Wood doesn't really fit what Nuno wants to do

Is he getting phased out? Kinda can't bench him

[valid river]

He does fit the 4-2-3-1

[cedar hull]

Wood prem only and Jesus Europa league, next season phased imo

Unless he underperforms

[latent depot]

The new guy isn't really a wide man tho, right?

[cedar hull]

He's 34 now right

[latent depot]

Bro doesn't cross

[cedar hull]

Ndoye?

Yeah he's a not the winger type elanga is

He needs neco to overlap

[latent depot]

Neco stonks

[cedar hull]

Ndoye great buy, but they gotta fit him tactically at least

Cross and inhsallah was only gonna work for so long

[latent depot]

Wood might be cooked. He only scored against Leicester and Spurs in the run in, basically the worst defences in the league

[cedar hull]

Yeah huge overperformance, don't think it will happen this season personally

[valid river]

Ndoye looks good

[cedar hull]

Mateta/wissa for me

[valid river]

1-0 NFO wins will be baller though, goal from Milenkovic

Also there's SO much hate towards forest

Just ridiculous

[cedar hull]

Yeah it's overstated for sure

But partly because of your owner, Gibbs white situation and palace situation

[valid river]

Yeah it's all shit but it's done

Like wouldn't you want to get into a higher competition if you could

MGW one was weird but I get the Europa one

[broken patio]

@latent depot does it bother you at all that straight after wc7 there's an intl break?

[novel harbor]

ye it rly depends on how forest start the season. becuz of how unsure i am with their attack rn im planning to get him out but could definitely change

problem is i can actually see forest somehow just drawing 0-0 to one of burnley and sunderland rn

[slim bane]

Should have saved many FTs anw

and also on wc probably a stronger bench to eventually BB

[valid river]

If darlow looks plausible I get to save 0.5 😼

And CS probably better too

[slim bane]

I’m on Lacroix vdv instead of tark steve

[slim bane]

0-0 in gw2 desperately needed

[valid river]

I'm likely just going to bet Nottingham Forest under 1.5 goals every game and get rich

[novel harbor]

i had 14/1 0-0 today haha

[lavish parcel]

We are in the same boat my friend, hope it doesn't drown or it's GGs

Forest are definitely keeping like 15-20 cs

[valid river]

I literally messaged my flatmate 8 hours before the game 0-0 vs fiorentina

I'll screenshot it

Game was 6:45 am

Literally bet on under 2.5 goals in all their games that are easy and bet under 1.5 forest goals

Truly lost it

It's set now I think

Pretty happy with my team but I know the last few preseason games might still affect it

Am I tripping or is Ayy's name colour shiny

[valid river]

Damn

[latent depot]

I can live with it, trying to get to WC8 is awkward

[latent depot]

Liverpool about to sell Elliott and Nunez, how are they also allowed to be the best selling team in the league

[copper hinge]

Can people send their drafts? I’ve been gone for a week, need to catch up

[novel harbor]

isak 🔜

[copper hinge]

What's the reasoning behind Andersen?

[novel harbor]

imo one of the only predictable 4.5 cbit farmers this season

im somewhat uninterested in testing the ceiling this season for defenders. so have pretty much just gone with all the floors. he’ll leave my team at some point in the gw7-9 area

also becuz i decided a few days ago that above all i should just be trying to balance the team out

[slim bane]

Just saw someone suggest bb12 before wc13

[quick dawn]

13/15

ive realised esteve has awful fixtures

should i get reinaldo or a leeds player

[novel harbor]

esteve is rotation fodder, more than likely he rotates with one of ur current defenders well

cant see him leaving my team

[cerulean cape]

Looks awful

[novel harbor]

is good for cbit and plays for burnley

[quick dawn]

well mine is v similar i just dont have a 4.5 bench option

whats the rankings for bijol rodon and gudmundson

[hollow ermine]

Fml 451

Wait triple pool midfield

[quick dawn]

yeah this is the new thread meta

[slim bane]

Haven’t tested

[novel harbor]

rodon > gudmundsson > bijol

[quick dawn]

why not bijol

[acoustic edge]

gw1 doesn’t play right

and that’s the 1 fixture u want a leeds def for

[quick dawn]

yeah

ok time to call my team the joe rodon experience

[slim bane]

That’s my team but tark vald vs Munoz dub

[hollow ermine]

Think I’m staying on this

Would like a better 5th midfield

[quick dawn]

yeah weve all ended up on the same forward line lol but you having vdv seems safer

[broken patio]

Shameful

[quick dawn]

so neco is now meta

[slim bane]

Oh mili over Williams

[quick dawn]

not milenkovic

[slim bane]

How’d I get the extra .5 wtf

[quick dawn]

vdv

we should also see if heaven is a starter

[broken patio]

All the analytic stuff don't loooove milenkovic as his goal threat is somewhat hard to quantify

Murillo > Neco > milenkovic seems to be the thinking

Especially from analytics

Even though milenkovic was the top scoring defender last season

[broken patio]

Lacroix to Richards easy

[hollow ermine]

Is it

[broken patio]

Or vdv to 4.0 yeah

[hollow ermine]

He had an xg of 4.6 or something and scored 5 with solid xg per shot

Unless forest as a whole fall off

[quick dawn]

vdv probably is better

i cant copy it though

[slim bane]

No as in how did I get the extra .5 lol

Cos I had vdv

The answer was neco over mili

[little delta]

did see that ndiaye might be going inter

[novel harbor]

i hope he does i want to see content creators scramble

[broken patio]

Oh lmao

Az latest draft

At least he hasn't succumbed to review

[quick dawn]

alright except for kudus

and pedro

[acoustic edge]

guess the player

[quick dawn]

my boy rogers

[acoustic edge]

warra xgi for 7.0

[cedar hull]

yeah his stats are woeful but he outperforms them constantly

32 goals from 18.1 xg is a joke

oh wait some of the comps dont have xg recorded

[cerulean cape]

I'm going off Everton tbh

[broken patio]

Tark should still be fine

Right...?

[cerulean cape]

Yes

Say he has 6 blanks, he gets DC jn 4 of them

That's 20 points

[quick dawn]

im likely going tark over double palace

[cerulean cape]

I forgot with fh4 I dont need palace

[quick dawn]

williams might actually be better than milenkovic

sigh

[cerulean cape]

No chance lol

[quick dawn]

higher defcon per 90 no?

[novel harbor]

by like 0.3 or something

[broken patio]

Milenkovic is definitely better

[novel harbor]

but milenkovic has higher hit rate 35%

and neco 32%

[broken patio]

If they were the same price you go milenkovic every time

[novel harbor]

well duh

[quick dawn]

so wdyt about milenk and 4.0 or neco and 4.5

[latent depot]

Neco 43% per start, Milenkovic 32%, Murillo 56%

[cedar hull]

neco smaller sample if that means anything

but still better than milenkovic

id have milenkovic unless you do something meaningful with the 0.5

[latent depot]

Neco 8.9 CBITs per start, Milenkovic 8.3, Murrilo 10.8

[novel harbor]

can almost always do something better with the 0.5 especially this season

so ye id rather just take neco

[violet temple]

neco is him gotta trust the process

[cedar hull]

theyre the same value but more points

[cerulean cape]

Go all 3

[quick dawn]

a 4.5 def to rotate

[violet temple]

skulllll

[cerulean cape]

Tempting but I'm too much of a wood simp

[quick dawn]

[novel harbor]

[copper hinge]

Why am I seeing so many Bowens

[copper hinge]

Idk, didn't seem very popular first week

[cerulean cape]

Solanke injury

[violet temple]

not everyone is gonna be popular at the start tbf

[copper hinge]

Yh ik, just havent been around for a week

Moving to 4th floor without an elevator takes its toll

[cerulean cape]

This allows bb2 lol

Triple Burnley and forest def. What could go wrong

[carmine arch]

Bb1 FH4 wc8

[copper hinge]

I'm buying Bruno Cunha Mbeumo if u do this

[latent depot]

FPL Mate has a tiering video out for defenders

[quick dawn]

lets see

[cerulean cape]

I actually dont hate the 2nd team i posted. Bb2, fh4, wc7 works well

[carmine arch]

Why wc7 over wc8

[cerulean cape]

Could be either

Wc7 bigger swing

But before IB

Also have watkins and Rogers vs burnley

We'll see tho

[carmine arch]

Yeah I'm gonna BB1/bb2

FH4 then WC 7/8

[quick dawn]

i dont think you can plan guiu on a bb

[orchid plank]

Mayenda would start anyways

[latent depot]

Richards is surprisingly good. He has a 44min start in the data where he got injured. Filter that out and he has 9.7 CBITs per start, 10/21 DC points so 47.6% that's close enough to Lacroix for the 0.5 saving

Obv lacks Lacroix's goal threat as well

[cerulean cape]

3 Burnley defs vs Sunderland + 1 point bb

[quick dawn]

i wouldnt do it lol

[cerulean cape]

3,4,2,1 is still 10

3 saves, dc, cs wipe

[carmine arch]

Ive heard he's not nailed

[cerulean cape]

He is

[quick dawn]

eh

[latent depot]

He plays when not injured

[quick dawn]

depends how you value the chip

[cerulean cape]

16 is a good bb

I'm getting 8 minimum without having to worry about it anymore

[latent depot]

12 is eh, 14 par, 16 good

[cerulean cape]

19 if Burnley cs

[latent depot]

Under 12 is definitely disappointing

[cerulean cape]

It is but arguably worth 4 points not to worry about it later

[quick dawn]

who rotates well with richards

[cerulean cape]

Also 3 Burnley defs vs Sunderland arguably won't get a better bb

[latent depot]

VDV

[quick dawn]

yeah

[latent depot]

This convo is Jazzy as a Scooby Doo villain, remove his mask and it's Ayy. BB triple Burnley defense is diabolical

[quick dawn]

so if i want vdv

lacroix to richards or milenkovic to williams

according to understat richards and lacroix have the same xg90

[novel harbor]

given how good sunderland's defcon fixtures are for cb's, ballard at 4.5 looks alr for a bench boost bit spenny tho

[latent depot]

Spending 0.5 on promoted defender

[novel harbor]

latter imo

[novel harbor]

not me but someone might

[humble dust]

lacroix to richards

[novel harbor]

i’m not even early bench boost

[orchid plank]

10+ is good enough as long as your not using transfers to get to it

[broken patio]

The difference between milenkovic and Williams is less than between lacroix and Richards

[quick dawn]

i mean

who knows
