[cedar hull]

Might get an update

[latent depot]

Prob features him and Schade

Schade at 7 is crazy money

[novel harbor]

ekitike in

[quick dawn]

wow

[novel harbor]

bit of cope but can see it being true

luke edwards tho

[quick dawn]

yeah ekitike is good if this is true

they want wissa as well as isak?

[cedar hull]

Ekitike

I mean this could all be smoke

But if pool don't get isak they probably get a lw

[surreal ocean]

is rodrygo still on the table

[humble bane]

nah we'll still get a ST instead imo

cant only have 1 ST for 70 games

[quick dawn]

i agree

[novel harbor]

who’s even available? i think you’ll get a left winger

and gakpo will share mins at st and lw

[humble bane]

Rio clears all LWs on the market. Dont wanna block his pathway

[cedar hull]

He's 16 mate, don't rush him

[humble bane]

yea but rn we have Gakpo and Rio. We also have Wirtz/Eki who can LW in emergency

whereas at ST theres only Ekitike

[novel harbor]

gakpo can play st

[humble bane]

that never worked well for us tbh. his best position by far is LW

[cedar hull]

Wirtz can play false 9

[prime plinth]

Bps and defcon added. Just sign me up 4 atb

[keen wren]

Evanilson goal

[humble bane]

either way a lw blocks rio pathway

[cedar hull]

It's better for you to get a lw now and get isak next summer imo

Brother he's 16

[prime plinth]

Reliable?

[cedar hull]

In 5 years he's 21, that's still young

[novel harbor]

not in the slightest

[broken patio]

My fucking GUY

[humble bane]

He's clearly ready for first team action though. I mean Yamal started at Barcelona at 16 😭

Spain*

[prime plinth]

Stop gassing it

You are trolling atp

[surreal ocean]

im still sticking with semenyo i think

[humble bane]

I'm not? he can very clearly be our LW backup

[cedar hull]

That's not how you run a club mate

[humble bane]

he has output which is rare for a young winger

[prime plinth]

171 pts

Who cares if it was 9 pts or 10

[humble bane]

so you'd rather block his pathway and not play him at all? 💀

[prime plinth]

Milenkovic highest scoring defender itg

[cedar hull]

Liverpool fan glazing your prospect I get it, but be serious, you're not logical

[novel harbor]

nah it matters

unless ur set and forgetting milenkovic

[humble bane]

I'm not glazing him. I'm saying youngsters need a chance

[cedar hull]

I give up man you only see this as black and white

[surreal ocean]

tbf i do not think he can repeat that attacking output

[novel harbor]

ur trying to maximise points

[prime plinth]

Looking at tark numbers. So overrated

[cedar hull]

Play him in cups or smth, he doesn't have to be backup and play 2000 mins

[humble bane]

If we have 4 players who can already LW theres no sense to sign another LW especially not someone like Barcola for 100m

[prime plinth]

He's 6'6

[surreal ocean]

what kind of numbers

[prime plinth]

I'm joking

[humble bane]

didnt even mention chiesa yet

thats 5 players

[prime plinth]

Tark is solid

[cedar hull]

Rhian just give it up man cba

[humble bane]

Lewis skelly is the perfect example of why u dont block pathways

[cedar hull]

Arguing with Liverpool and arsenal fans about their own club is the most pointless thing in existence

[humble bane]

Trent is another one

[obtuse shoal]

Don’t forget Chelsea fans.

[prime plinth]

Regardless of which defenders you pick. They are so clear of attackers for consistency

[cedar hull]

Bad but not as bad imo

[obtuse shoal]

I often ignore football server cause of them.

[cedar hull]

Chelsea fans are stupid but not as naive as the others

[prime plinth]

I'm not naive. Tottenham top 7 locked

[latent depot]

They sold Wilson

[quick dawn]

yeah but wissa is good enough to start

[prime plinth]

Wissa won't go to play backup

[latent depot]

LW Isak loading

[prime plinth]

Wissa too expensive. Surely Newcastle can't pay that when they need defenders

[cedar hull]

35/40m is fine

[latent depot]

They need depth for Europe

[prime plinth]

They need cbs

[cedar hull]

They just need one

[surreal ocean]

can't argue with that haha. but it's just whether he's provided with the number of corners, whether defences double up on him etc. I think it's a bit safer to bank on the quite sizeable difference in cbit between him and murillo

[prime plinth]

They'll both regress for pts most likely. That said, they also should be awesome first 6 gws

[latent depot]

Starting the season with so many key injuries, I think you're fighting for top half of table. 7 is optimistic

[prime plinth]

Best fixtures coming off 4 clean sheets in preseason

Yes preseason doesn't matter but it does show what forest are

Might get bad variance but they should be good starting picks

Only defenders that is clear of variance is Gabriel and vvd but they have worse fixtures

[humble bane]

Time for a Welbeck eye test

[surreal ocean]

vvd to porro review screams into my ear

i might oblige

[prime plinth]

Every other team is in the similar range of xgc. Difference is forest give up a higher volume of lesser xg chances most games

[latent depot]

Score/time Bournemouth?

[prime plinth]

Xgc is helpful but really only a guide

Arsenal and Liverpool the only standouts. The rest should be based on defcon and returns with a rough idea of 12+ clean sheets as an expectation

[surreal ocean]

does a united / amorim fan have an idea where bruno will play this season

my thoughts are that better attack, he's going to have improved assists

[prime plinth]

I actually think there's a chance Bruno's numbers dip

[surreal ocean]

while sesko could just be a flop he cant be worse than hojlund

[prime plinth]

Mbeumo cunha and sesko can take some more responsibility. Amad rwb ig

[latent depot]

Amorim seems married to one system, and if everyone's fit, Bruno plays as a pivot in that system

[prime plinth]

Bruno will probably be around the same because the overall attacking numbers increase for the team

[cedar hull]

First choice 11 has him as an 8

[latent depot]

Yeah, 8 next to a 6

[prime plinth]

Hard to say that bruno can increase xgi at all in a worse role with more players to take responsibility

For attacking returns alone

[valid river]

Thought it was a 1,2,3 week injury

[prime plinth]

He'll still be solid but I'd only want bruno for Burnley at home

[latent depot]

Bruno is an injury to one of the 10s away from being great for FPL

[lavish parcel]

Evanilson scored @broken patio

[jolly solstice]

Gabriel 1 double digit return lmaooo

[quick dawn]

dont want to raise his ownership

[prime plinth]

Yeah i just think he's getting overrated again. At 9m he's ok with bad fixtures

Arsenal the best away defense

Fulham 4th for xgc

City

Well

[little delta]

he will play 10 after sesko/mbeumo/cunha get subbed

[quick dawn]

bruno with defcon would have close to 200pts no

[prime plinth]

Chelsea

[little delta]

yes

[quick dawn]

and thats underperming underlying stats

[prime plinth]

It is a terrible run of games

[latent depot]

9.0 for 15mins at CAM

[surreal ocean]

any way to watch the game?

[prime plinth]

I don't want bruno for 4 ppm and one good haul in 6 gws

[valid river]

Already is

[prime plinth]

And he won't get defcon every game

[lavish parcel]

No idea

[little delta]

and he is still a good option anyway

[lavish parcel]

I just follow sofascore updates

[prime plinth]

He only avgs 10 defcon per game right? Even deeper

[valid river]

Bien sports

Got u goat

[prime plinth]

19 extra pts from defcon helps but his xgi going down also lessens his value at the same time

[valid river]

Even if kelleher is fit, doesn't Dubravka+ Petrovic look better @latent depot

[prime plinth]

In that role

[latent depot]

Also, I don't think last season's stats are truly representative for United anyway. They were so trash and spent a lot more game time on the back foot

[prime plinth]

0.36 xgi for a 9m player is atrocious

In those games he was deeper

[prime plinth]

They still will be terrible defensively

[lavish parcel]

Rather have Munoz than Bruno for under 0.40 xgi

[prime plinth]

They have no quality defensively if ugarte doesn't improve and Martinez doesn't find his level

[latent depot]

Bournemouth defence is hard avoid, fixtures be damned

[prime plinth]

De ligt is ok but lacks pace. Yoro is not ready

[quick dawn]

what do ppl think about the draft i posted

[latent depot]

If Kelleher is out, I'm going Pickford

[quick dawn]

tbh i just did marmoush to ekitike

[valid river]

Is it worth risking the kelleher price drop after gw1 if he doesn't start?

[prime plinth]

Utd are going to be a team to target again for attackers

[latent depot]

Just wait for the Brentford lineup for the game today

[valid river]

Closed doors no?

Or will we see

[latent depot]

Yes but someone will post a lineup

[prime plinth]

Bruno should be fine but I much rather avoid till later on with too many unknowns

[valid river]

Man Utd lineup is out

[latent depot]

I expect both Schade and Kelleher to start

[orchid plank]

bruno cm I assume

[latent depot]

No point for them to play yesterday with another game today if they have minor knocks

[prime plinth]

Dams went big in the other friendly they played

Carvalho

[valid river]

Casemiro + Mason Mount 💔

Bruno cm to play mount over mainoo

[quick dawn]

tbh ekitike might not be better than marmoush even if he starts

[little delta]

who are Brentford playing

[cedar hull]

BMG again

Closed doors reserves friendly or smth

[valid river]

Need to see kelleher guys

Okay this united team seems interesting

[latent depot]

Has Bournemouth game finished 1-0?

Either way, TC Salah is off the table, womp womp

Would have done it if Bournemouth shipped 3 goals again and Salah cooks tomorrow

[humble bane]

wth why is bournemouth game not on fotmob

[latent depot]

Ayy why aren't you rotating 3x 4.0s for one spot? There's like 4 available from different teams

Hill, Hoever (maybe), Rodon, Esteve

[prime plinth]

Bournemouth will be good again

[latent depot]

I trust them to be good, but not until after IB2 prob

Rate the manager

Rate him so much that I never can remember his name

[prime plinth]

Will be worse overall for a while for sure

[wanton whale]

Evan goal cold (I’m late)

[prime plinth]

they may not recover defensively. Could score more goals

Dango gone as well

They really cashed in

[surreal ocean]

might go gakpo over semenyo

[wanton whale]

Is isak even gonna play for Newcastle then

[prime plinth]

Crazy Bournemouth conceded as little as forest

[surreal ocean]

howe says 'clear he can't be involved but has a future' something to that effect

[wanton whale]

Who tf is he gonna play for then 😭

[surreal ocean]

almost as if pre season means almost nothing

[surreal ocean]

joelinton

[prime plinth]

Idm palace defenders because of defcon and attacking returns. Not a good cs team

Play too aggressive

[surreal ocean]

lacroix is projected similar points to munoz first 5 or 6

he is the cbit poster boy

screw tark

[prime plinth]

Yeah i mean Munoz and lacroix are good picks. Richards maybe a little overrated if they don't improve defensively

[prime plinth]

I mean it helps. Bournemouth have lost half the team

[violet temple]

Neymar

[prime plinth]

Based on last season. Will be very interested in Brighton attackers

Mitoma should be good value at 6.5m. Maybe even in lesser quality fixtures for that cheap

Everton scored 42 goals in 38 games

[cedar hull]

Goals too spread about for Brighton imo

[prime plinth]

mitoma had 10 goals in 28 starts. Pretty good

I think you still want better fixtures though

[cedar hull]

36 appearances

[violet temple]

Rutter>

[cedar hull]

It's alright

[prime plinth]

15 g/a and 4.1 ppm despite that i think

[surreal ocean]

it's probably not awful to get an idea of formation and maybe how a new signing looks. but i'm not going to be reading into results or clean sheets etc - there's too much rotation on both sides to get an idea of team performance

[prime plinth]

That suggests upside

[violet temple]

@cedar hull What we saying on ndoye now?

avoid cuz of how shit they've been preseason?

[wanton whale]

Yes avoid

[violet temple]

cala I pinged some1

u dont know ndoyes greatness like classiic

[wanton whale]

He will say the same 😃

Nah I know ndoye from the Euros

[violet temple]

If he doesn't u get demoted deal?

[cedar hull]

Yeah maybe pickup gw5

[violet temple]

Good

[wanton whale]

Uhhh 😔

[prime plinth]

Tbf best run was off the bench lol

[surreal ocean]

lemme have a look at trev chalobah

[violet temple]

just a wait and see then eh

[cedar hull]

Boring but yeah

[violet temple]

I don't wanna get gakpo until gw 4 either don't know what mids to go for

[cedar hull]

Ndoye is old news now, dango will be my new love at Brentford

[violet temple]

once eze goes to tottenham 😋

[prime plinth]

I don't want wirtz till gw4 but everything seems mid

[wanton whale]

Mateta and get Lewis miley

[violet temple]

Mateta?

[prime plinth]

Tottenham fixture run is so easy to go for. Kudus really tempting if he gets to the season before last

[violet temple]

I'd rather get wood lol

[wanton whale]

Oh wow, he doesn’t know 😎

[violet temple]

For the starting fixtures atleast

[prime plinth]

Gyokeres gw1-2 into solanke or Newcastle attacker gw3

[hollow ermine]

lol

[cedar hull]

Gyokeres

[surreal ocean]

mateta lost his moustache, something to look into?

[hollow ermine]

Pointless set of transfers unless you’re wc7

[prime plinth]

How can we not have arsenal striker vs leeds at home

[violet temple]

palace have decent attacking fixs tbf but for me thiago and watkins 🔐

I'm sure wissas gonna leave asw

[surreal ocean]

thiago is a huuuge punt

[prime plinth]

First 3 aren't

[wanton whale]

Thiago is great value just not convinced he’s actually that good at football

[prime plinth]

They are bad to passable

[surreal ocean]

back from an acl as well?

[hollow ermine]

Carvalho gang rise

[violet temple]

he's better than gyokeres

[violet temple]

Yeah but has played every preseason game

[prime plinth]

Villa xgc at home is strong

[hollow ermine]

I’m better than Chokeres and I’m 100kg

[violet temple]

😂

[wanton whale]

For fpl? Yes

[cedar hull]

What this guy said

[slim bane]

No good attackers

[violet temple]

classiic digging deep into analcord

[hollow ermine]

Pause

[cedar hull]

It's funny cos this was the reply to tyghe in analcord

[prime plinth]

The ease of going gyokeres is you fail at the chance of leeds at home

[cedar hull]

What

[surreal ocean]

i mean it's just not a great footnote on a player you'll be starting with, especially if he picks up a knock or wissa stays. who do you move to? beto lol

[hollow ermine]

When did you guys join analcord?

[prime plinth]

If you go watkins. Gyokeres is impossible to switch to before gw8

[cedar hull]

I've been there like a year but have sent about 100 messages

[slim bane]

Have you seen how shit we are

[violet temple]

yeah well I shall only be getting him IF wissa leaves by deadline of course

[hollow ermine]

How much is damsgaard

[prime plinth]

Easier to switch gyokeres to the others

[cedar hull]

I go there to steal their data

[violet temple]

wissa hasn't played a single preseason no shot he doesn't cut lol

[violet temple]

cheap I think 5.5

[wanton whale]

If you want an arsenal attacker for Leeds at home go with Saka

[cedar hull]

You want to get gyok if he's an option on gw7 WC anyway

[prime plinth]

You finished 2nd with this

[cedar hull]

You don't go with any imo

[slim bane]

Was on this until the transfer news broke

[hollow ermine]

Nah

[wanton whale]

Yeah but if you really wanted one

[violet temple]

built the ultimate team just need some confirmation gakkers is nailed 🙏

[cedar hull]

Love how a spurs fan is tryna to convince an arsenal fan to pick their new striker

[hollow ermine]

Need to see xhaka ball today

[prime plinth]

More expensive in a easier to fill position. More options to transfer to in gw3 with gyok. Newcastle attacker Watkins or solanke

[hollow ermine]

I have route to Chokeres anyway, just not worth it from the start

[zenith jolt]

might actually risk gakpo if this isak stuff is true

[prime plinth]

If he hauls vs leeds. What then

[wanton whale]

Easiest route to gyokeres is a panic wildcard

[prime plinth]

[wanton whale]

So what?

[prime plinth]

Then you get solanke into Bournemouth at home or isak vs leeds

B2b leeds at home

[wanton whale]

No

[hollow ermine]

Easy route

I own watkins and Bowen

Can pretty much pivot to anyone in the game at that point

[prime plinth]

You aren't getting him for gw 3. His best fixtures are utd and leeds. Two horrible defensive teams

[hollow ermine]

I think Havertz could be great on wc

[prime plinth]

Gyok is either start or ignore till gw 7 onwards

[wanton whale]

People will happily own Bowen but not mateta, good

[hollow ermine]

I can decide then, the point is, you can move to him regardless, he has a great run from gw7 and you save wc

Arias watch today

[prime plinth]

I mean owning him for gw 1-2 never matters for wc

[wanton whale]

Arias on pens and set pieces 🙏

[prime plinth]

Surely we can't have no arsenal attack vs leeds

[cedar hull]

its not that deep

[surreal ocean]

could always fh 2

[cedar hull]

id rather city attack vs wolves though

[surreal ocean]

fh6 wc7?

[cedar hull]

whats so funny about that

[wanton whale]

Gotta look at the bigger picture really

[prime plinth]

Away vs home fixture and wolves finished last season with wins.

[cedar hull]

wolves finished last season with wins? what kinda statement is that

[prime plinth]

I prefer the utd fixture to wolves

[slim bane]

[prime plinth]

[quick dawn]

how do you rank marmoush wirtz and ekitike

[slim bane]

United have made strong signings

[cedar hull]

wolves had a worse defence than united

and have lost their best player

and city attack is stronger than arsenal

[prime plinth]

By how much

[cedar hull]

5xga

[wanton whale]

You prefer a strengthened united over wolves

[prime plinth]

Marmoush role isn't as good

[cedar hull]

which is the same as the difference between united and forest lol

[hollow ermine]

Fulkrugg watch as well

[wanton whale]

we won’t start well either

[prime plinth]

They've made zero defensive improvements. Only gotten worse

[cedar hull]

it just sounds like confirmation bias ngl

[wanton whale]

I don’t buy players for one fixture either

[hollow ermine]

Respect fulkrugg

[prime plinth]

They play diallo and dorgu wbs

Ok maybe we need saka

[wanton whale]

Horrid

[prime plinth]

[wanton whale]

Saka is the only viable choice

[cedar hull]

and even then...

[wanton whale]

If you really think we will play well..

Then go ahead

[prime plinth]

I'm being over the top. Either is fine. I think the role for arsenal players at the price is better

[surreal ocean]

is trossard an option?

[prime plinth]

City more spread

[slim bane]

No

[prime plinth]

Or haaland centric

[cedar hull]

i mean arsenal is saka centric and you want gyokeres

[hollow ermine]

God FPLpod advice is terrible

[novel harbor]

you will 😭

[hollow ermine]

These guys are chatting nonsense

[prime plinth]

Gyokeres will be fed by Saka who literally always plays creatively

Wym

[novel harbor]

why are arsenal fans either the biggest optimists or the biggest pessimists

[prime plinth]

Pretty obvious

[novel harbor]

be realistic

you absolutely will start fine

[hollow ermine]

Fair takes? Nah we don’t do that here

[cedar hull]

pretty obvious and its just confirmation bias

[hollow ermine]

My front delts need work

[prime plinth]

No you are dismissing valid points

[cedar hull]

not really

[wanton whale]

We will start fine yes but not well

Wouldn’t go for any arsenal rn

[quick dawn]

you dont need front delt isolation

[cedar hull]

everyone here is saying its bad, everyone in analcord is saying its bad

[acoustic edge]

raya op

[prime plinth]

Even if you disagree with the pick. It is fact saka feeds balls. Who benefits from that.... I wonder

[wanton whale]

If only it was that simple

[cedar hull]

thats a very closed minded approach but okay

[quick dawn]

i like saka

[prime plinth]

You paid 80m for him... he isn't going to do nothing

[surreal ocean]

whats the analcord invite

[valid river]

Hojland was 80m

[wanton whale]

Well ofc but that doesn’t magically happen overnight

[humble bane]

Mboomo eye test time

[valid river]

Should we get him

[cedar hull]

i have gakpo and wirtz because they will assist each other 24/7

[prime plinth]

They literally play a promoted team at home and you are calling me close minded. Absolutely rubbish talk

[cedar hull]

one fixture

lol

like cala said, bigger picture

[valid river]

Anyways Bruno Fernandes time

[cedar hull]

if you really want that fixture, get saka, weve been over this

[wanton whale]

You must own triple West Ham with that logic

[acoustic edge]

pick adingra or retire imo

[prime plinth]

Bigger picture. Gyok or saka first 2 into a player vs leeds at home for Newcastle

[cedar hull]

then get saka

[wanton whale]

Literally what we’ve been saying 😭Saka or don’t bother

[valid river]

Man city are playing a promoted team gw2, I might get haaland

[prime plinth]

Gyok might have pens. 1m cheaper in a harder to fill position. Saka goal count is not ideal. Gyok is roaming the box in the game he played

[cedar hull]

you think we are against arsenal when we are against gyok

[acoustic edge]

guehi to pool might happen btw

would make palace def much weaker?

[cedar hull]

"in the game he played" not even match fit btw

[prime plinth]

Arsenal play a utd team who have 3 defenders and little support. They are going to smash them

[cedar hull]

3 defenders lol

[prime plinth]

People really think 3 attacking signings is going to change the reality of utd defensively

[cedar hull]

i guess yeah, only on lacroix atm

[prime plinth]

They are a bottom 5-8 defense

[cedar hull]

the reality of united defensively was that they were mid table

[prime plinth]

In this system

[cedar hull]

they were 12th

villa were 11th

doubt youd want arsenal attackers specifically for villa

[prime plinth]

Villa is a great fixture to target at home

[cedar hull]

its an okay fix

[prime plinth]

As in attacker at home

[cedar hull]

dont convince yourself its "great"

[prime plinth]

They were over 30 xgc

In 18 games

At home villa were solid defensively

[cedar hull]

you cant pick and choose what fix are great when theres objective fact it isnt

[prime plinth]

?

How

Villa away defensive data is terrible

[acoustic edge]

stop deflecting from his point

[cedar hull]

yes? but arsenal arent playing them away what

[hollow ermine]

Yeah I don’t think I do but I don’t any compound shoulder work at all

[acoustic edge]

holy fuck

[cedar hull]

again picking and choosing home vs away

[hollow ermine]

Only side delt isolation

[cedar hull]

confirmation bias is crazy

[prime plinth]

Utd is cap. Fair enough

[acoustic edge]

ok buddy mid bait

[prime plinth]

No. It is literally a fact

[cedar hull]

omds man you dont understand

[hollow ermine]

I’m on high volume push rn

[prime plinth]

Villa can't defend away

[zenith jolt]

If you don't own Gyok 9 you're trolling

[cedar hull]

no one even mentioned villa away

[prime plinth]

It isn't picking and choosing

[cedar hull]

you did

[prime plinth]

It is using truth

[cedar hull]

you chose to pick them away cos they are worse there

[quick dawn]

do shoulder press face pulls and or reverse pec deck

[cedar hull]

fuck me

[novel harbor]

like gw9

[cedar hull]

absolute strawman argument

[novel harbor]

that’s a trap if so

[elder cargo]

👀

[surreal ocean]

bezzo i injured my shoulder last year and it's still inflamed wth.

[prime plinth]

You paired villa and utd next to each other. I just mentioned villa is bad defensively away

[novel harbor]

go raya, gab, saka

[prime plinth]

Not much to it

[novel harbor]

ignore gyok

[cedar hull]

yes, strawman argument

deflecting from the point

no one mentioned home vs away

you did

[prime plinth]

Ok bro. Mr #1 itw

[cedar hull]

when it wasnt even the topic

now youre just coping

[valid river]

Dorgu kinda looking good

[hollow ermine]

Seem some rear delt than front tbh cause of the squeeze

I can just go with a simple shoulder press but I’m currently on bench and incline so

[novel harbor]

classiic the debater

[cedar hull]

because you know you were deflecting

[valid river]

Dorgu w

[novel harbor]

lowkey cooking

[elder cargo]

Thanks for this

[cedar hull]

attacking me because you lost the point, nice one pal

[prime plinth]

Jokes aside. How am I close minded for considering an arsenal attacker for those 2 fixtures. That is not fair

[valid river]

0-1

[hollow ermine]

I can swap out machine chest press for machine shoulder

[valid river]

0-1

[novel harbor]

united conceded knee jerk dorgu out

[hollow ermine]

Who

[valid river]

Fiorentina

[hollow ermine]

Small club

[little delta]

bou conceded to sociedad b, salah tc?

[surreal ocean]

hahaha dorgu cooking

[hollow ermine]

Sorry red

[prime plinth]

Literally just isn't a accurate take. If anything, I'm challenging the norm

[elder cargo]

Don’t be sorry

[cedar hull]

im so confused at the bou fix, it dissappeared and now says its at 5?

[waxen river]

I will be there

[valid river]

United just left 3 people in the back half of the box open

I can't describe it

[hollow ermine]

You’re gonna warn me

[elder cargo]

Tyghe what’s your goal for the season

[waxen river]

Half my mini league is bb1, I have to differentiate

[valid river]

The all ran near post and then it was just a tap in

That was insane

[elder cargo]

BB1 will flop it’s okay

[hollow ermine]

Does Amorim look like he knows how to coach a defense to you

[hollow ermine]

They’ve looked mid so far tbh

[valid river]

It's not even a coaching thing it was insane

The penalty spot had no man Utd players on it

[hollow ermine]

Petrovic at 4.5 might be a pick but Bournemouth are looking oof

[surreal ocean]

polish?

[valid river]

LOL

Didn't they not concede today

[prime plinth]

"Attacking you". That was just sarcasm man relax. We disagree on gyok as a potential option. That is fine. Not everything can be related to data. The fact is he is roaming the box and plays a promoted team at home. He also gives a chance for us to look at solanke and Newcastle's attack

[valid river]

Calma calma

[surreal ocean]

guys i stg this is so boring

[prime plinth]

With watkins still an easy option atp

[cedar hull]

would be kinda weird if a striker for any team wasnt roaming the box mate

[wanton whale]

Milenkovic vs United looking as essential as always

[surreal ocean]

remember when kaki was ranking goalkeepers

[hollow ermine]

They just drew with real sociedad b team

[prime plinth]

Bruh arsenal literally have had attackers not roam the box?

[valid river]

Based

6'6 goat

[hollow ermine]

What was it

[cedar hull]

so they went from bad to average attacker positioning?

[surreal ocean]

i think it was a 3 day beef about if ramsdale was a top 10 keeper

[prime plinth]

Trossard havertz etc at st would drop deep a lot and edge of the box. Gyok is going to be a box threat striker

[hollow ermine]

Not suprising

[cedar hull]

i know what youre getting at and youre not wrong, but if you wanna convince someone you gotta do better than "roams the box"

[prime plinth]

There's s difference

[hollow ermine]

Too much hypothetical about gyok to earn the 9.0 buy from the off

[cedar hull]

this is the main point

[prime plinth]

I mean he's a striker everyone was excited to see put a hattrick past city so

[cedar hull]

tyghe has watched gyok play once for arsenal in a cameo

[hollow ermine]

At that point you’re either deluding yourself into owning him or convincing yourself he’s terrible if you don’t plan on looking at him at all

Simple answer is

Wait

[prime plinth]

Lets not act like he's some complete unknown

[hollow ermine]

You’d always have a route to him

[cedar hull]

hes an unknown for arsenal?

[prime plinth]

I've watched him play for Coventry and sporting as well. Your point

[cedar hull]

how did you miss the point

[prime plinth]

Not everything can be seen before pulling the trigger

[cedar hull]

it doesnt matter who hes played for in the past, you havent seen him play for arsenal

[hollow ermine]

Concrete Negatives surrounding gyok are too much to counter the hypothetical positives tbh

[prime plinth]

You have to be aggressive sometimes. Is someone I'll consider if he can show a bit more in the friendly tonight

[cedar hull]

aggressive and punt are very different

[prime plinth]

What negatives though

[surreal ocean]

me when i went kane over haaland :(

[prime plinth]

The only negative is minutes

[cedar hull]

gyok needs artificial transitions, arteta has not set that up once

[valid river]

Bruno could have my kids

[surreal ocean]

wth is an artificial transition

[surreal ocean]

hows he looking

[hollow ermine]

Minutes
Style of play
Integration period

If you’re paying 9.0

[prime plinth]

Never seen a striker start well tbf

[hollow ermine]

You have to know what you’re getting

[valid river]

Good as always. Only line breaking mid

Casemiro bad

[valid river]

Did you not find a way to watch?

[surreal ocean]

all my streams got got

[hollow ermine]

Minutes alone is enough to put you of a 9.0 assets

[cedar hull]

basically teams that are possession based or superior sometimes create an artificial transition by baiting the opponent in to create a counter, its not like they are sitting deep in a low block for counters, but rather bait them in to force the other team forward to create space for a counter

[prime plinth]

Arsenal scored near 70 goals

3 less than city

[valid river]

I like Bruno for fpl

[lavish parcel]

Yet havertz was the top scorer

[cedar hull]

since obviously city/pool/arsenal wont play low block, they need to manufacture the transitions

and thats what gyokeres thrives in

[hollow ermine]

Transition but you’re in possession

[prime plinth]

Arsenal scored 91 goals the season before last

[surreal ocean]

hm interesting, this is book knowledge that i just do not have about footy

[valid river]

I was saying this

Gyokeres scores on transitions

You can't have transitions when you have the ball 90% of the time

[cedar hull]

gyokeres isnt really a box striker, more of a transition one tbh, which is why arteta needs to change system to maximise this

[hollow ermine]

Saw this interesting graph that arteta needs to figure out

[valid river]

Gyokeres Sharp turning is not as good as it may need to be for arsenal

[cedar hull]

its become a big thing recently to counter the high press

[prime plinth]

He's the type of player that can feast on leeds though. Physical beast

[cedar hull]

yes arsenal are a shit attacking side until they fix zone 14 issues

[novel harbor]

guiu not even in squad who started guiu propaganda

@latent depot

[valid river]

How did prime believe it

[cedar hull]

we havent seen leeds set up in the prem, how would you know this

[valid river]

How did people believe guiu

[hollow ermine]

Been on holiday, prolly too early

[prime plinth]

Could argue saka and ode pulling strings with gyokeres roaming is extremely promising

[valid river]

Their striker is good

[cedar hull]

it doesnt matter when they dont make the final pass

they avoid zone 14, which causes their striker to be marked out

[hollow ermine]

The diagram shows saka being unable to hack it on his own consistently if he gets double marked

[prime plinth]

Promoted team with rodon as the best cb...

[cedar hull]

thats why they horseshoe it and cross

[valid river]

Classiic past the ball knowledge check

[prime plinth]

Saka had 11 assists in 20 starts

[surreal ocean]

wood failed the spelling test

[prime plinth]

Who's going to be in the box for crosses?

[valid river]

Fuck

[cedar hull]

if you dont pressure zone 14 or put bodies there, you have 2cbs freely marking your striker

[valid river]

It's midnight George please

[cedar hull]

you know gyokeres is shit at heading right

its important to me you know this

[valid river]

I'm an accountant not a writer

[cedar hull]

so if its a low cross everytime, thats quite predictable

[slim bane]

No

We still cross it high

[prime plinth]

Crossing doesn't lead to a header in a lot of cases. Thought that was obvious

[slim bane]

To fookin no one

[hollow ermine]

Doesn’t really change the graph innit

[cedar hull]

did you not read my next point?

[surreal ocean]

wrexham all over southampton, o lord

[cedar hull]

thought that was obvious?

[hollow ermine]

If we’re having this much conversation over a 9.0 mil asset

[prime plinth]

Gyokeres being in the box while the team is trying to feed the box. There's a high potential with it

[hollow ermine]

Isn’t it a red flag in of itself

I mean you can go gyok

Of course no one will stop you

[valid river]

Let alone the mins risk

[cedar hull]

high potential for a striker to be in a box, breaking news man

[hollow ermine]

But like you can’t really deny the question marks around it

[valid river]

Sesko better assets than gyokeres

Bruno boomo cunha

Good pass

[prime plinth]

Bruh is disregarding the point... they will be trying to feed HIM

[cedar hull]

youre not giving me a lot to work with here tyghe

your arguments are arsenal will try and feed gyokeres like yeah no shit

[prime plinth]

Not like a striker who they've had in the past

[cedar hull]

arsenals problem is chance creation

not the finishing part

[prime plinth]

Well that's what you want fpl vs a promoted team

Is it not,

[valid river]

Pen vs united

Nvm

Goal

Bruno assistt

[cedar hull]

every striker will try and get fed vs promoted teams? get bowen then what

[prime plinth]

They scored 91 goals in a season. They'll be fine

[valid river]

Bruno assist

[waxen river]

Yessss Bruno

Mu boy

[prime plinth]

3 goals behind city

[cedar hull]

was that last season?

oh wait it wasnt

[prime plinth]

Last season

Last season 3 goals behind city

[valid river]

BRUNO assist - Eden Dzeko own goal

LOL

[cedar hull]

7th best attack last season btw

[prime plinth]

Lets keep it accurate

[valid river]

Guys

[cedar hull]

season before 3rd, they massively overperformed xg

[valid river]

This is hilarious

[cedar hull]

dzeko 😭

[prime plinth]

3rd most goals btw

[waxen river]

Bruh

[cedar hull]

like i said, finishing isnt the problem bro, read

chance creation is

[prime plinth]

Chance creation is close enough to the rest to not matter respectfully

[cedar hull]

i mean it was the same as brentford

wouldnt call that amazing

[prime plinth]

They had this last season at points. Chance creation is obviously skewed data

[cedar hull]

and theyve added no players to change that

[prime plinth]

Thought that was obvious with saka only 20 starts

[cedar hull]

how many times you gonna say obvious lol

favourite word

[valid river]

What's this

[surreal ocean]

what formations are people on?

[prime plinth]

So I'm wrong? Or you just want to deny that there's valid arguments on both sides

[valid river]

4-4-2 that plays 4-3-3

Sometimes

[prime plinth]

Arsenal remained the top few attacks in b2b seasons with massively flawed attacking 11s last season having to play. This is true or not true?

[cedar hull]

you really dont like reading do you

[hollow ermine]

442 that can be 352 if rogers is fit

If rogers is not 442 into 451

[surreal ocean]

im worried about my 451 turning into a 541 when my anderson has a difficult fixture, i'd probably want a striker to sub instead of another defender

[cedar hull]

this whole time im saying your arguments have been shit

[hollow ermine]

Do you really

[cedar hull]

doesnt mean your point is

[quick dawn]

draft nr 5000

[hollow ermine]

Well you probably do tbh

[valid river]

Im worried about playing 3 mids only lol

WC7 can fix it

[cedar hull]

if youre not gonna read what im saying idk what the point is

[surreal ocean]

haha, simply because not all 5 of my defenders will have good fixtures. easier rotation with strikers

[hollow ermine]

I’m gonna have to play a 5.0 mid sometimes

[hollow ermine]

Yeah I get you sorry mate

[hollow ermine]

Who that 5.0 is idk

[prime plinth]

My argument is a striker with proven haul potential playing a role that is fed by saka and odegaard. He has a real chance to be a 20 goal+ player if the minutes and pens are real

[valid river]

David de gea

Is the goat

[prime plinth]

And why would it not be real at 80m+

[valid river]

David needs to come back to the orem

Prem

[surreal ocean]

come gw4, you have two def and 1 mid all against arsenal that puts me off slightly

[quick dawn]

fh4

[prime plinth]

I'm happy for people to be entirely against gyokeres early on. I refuse to believe leeds at home is not something to consider as an early option

[valid river]

Goated

[prime plinth]

Tbf who cares about a bad gw4 if it means a better team than others for 5 of 6 gws

[valid river]

Fh4

[prime plinth]

Having a lesser fixture in spread out gws is still the same outcome

Fh4 takes that out for sure though. Triple pool and fh4 makes no sense to me though tbh

[prime plinth]

Solid. I'm not sure on porro but good upside for that gw

[elder cargo]

Porro gone v popular with Maddison injury

He was at his best last time Maddison was out

[prime plinth]

We'll 100%sign a 10

So idk if it matters

[elder cargo]

still remember his corner assist to richarlison

[valid river]

He was ass all season no

[elder cargo]

when i owned both

[valid river]

As an asset

[prime plinth]

Mostly. Maybe ok for select gws

[elder cargo]

talking about the season before

[valid river]

Oh k

[elder cargo]

23/24 he was quite good

[valid river]

I didn't play that one

[prime plinth]

Cbit is solid under frank so far

[elder cargo]

Romero still my pick from that backline

[prime plinth]

Wouldn't be confident enough just for preseason

[cedar hull]

carvalho playing quite central

[valid river]

What team he at

[valid river]

So good

[supple steeple]

KDH starting, Branth back in squad at least

[valid river]

Bye bye Adam Wharton

Hello KDH

[valid river]

Thank you goat

[cedar hull]

branthwaite back @latent depot

[cedar hull]

brentford, rw

[waxen river]

Tark

[valid river]

Kelleher??

Sorry if u already said it

[cedar hull]

idk sorry was referring to yesterdays game

[valid river]

Oh algd

[cedar hull]

was just look at the data for it

[novel harbor]

double everton > double forest def now

yes

[valid river]

They play at some point behind closed doors and I just want my GK safe

[novel harbor]

watch

[valid river]

Triple forest, double Everton

We will be there

[quick dawn]

ix xhaka the best 5.0

or kdh

[cedar hull]

both new signings so hard to say, id lean kdh personally

[quick dawn]

is he nailed

[cedar hull]

starting today

[hollow ermine]

Tark viable again

[supple steeple]

possibly

lets see how many minutes Branthwaite gets

[valid river]

I'm happt

Somehow

I'm triple everton

KDH, Tark, Ndiaye

[surreal ocean]

kdh is very risky

[cedar hull]

im on tark whether branthwaite or not tbh, so branthwaite is a massive bonus

[valid river]

He's 5.0 ...

And just needs to play gw2

[surreal ocean]

better use of that .5

[valid river]

He's starting too

Bb2

[little delta]

wasn’t he viable anyway

[prime plinth]

Was impressive in the other friendlY

[surreal ocean]

who screamed

[valid river]

Lol

He found a site

[prime plinth]

TARK Time

[prime plinth]

ni

no

fixtures still better for forest long term

[latent depot]

Is Kelleher dead or na

[orchid plank]

barry starting

[supple steeple]

oh shit Branth actually starting

thank fuck

[surreal ocean]

kdh brace inc

[elder cargo]

Goonsbury hall watch begins NOW

[surreal ocean]

please do not call him that

[elder cargo]

It’s the highest compliment that can be bestowed upon him

If he does anything positive he’s in my team

[surreal ocean]

over anderson?

in that 5m - 5.5m budget mid range i don't think kdh is edging him out

[slim bane]

gab and noni expected to start against bilbao in our final preseason game

[hollow ermine]

Lmao they’re just spamming set pieces

https://youtu.be/laCK8KrAIDQ?feature=shared

No embed?

[latent depot]

I'm about to triple on Everton defence, pray for me

[quick dawn]

i think rn im choose 3 of ekitike, wirtz, marmoush, bruno, watkins

[surreal ocean]

damsgaard hairline wow

[latent depot]

Live by CBITs die by CBITs

[hollow ermine]

Brentford bringing back long throws

[latent depot]

Is Kelleher definitely dead

[hollow ermine]

Have they even scored any goal from open play under this new guy

[prime plinth]

Barry season

[hollow ermine]

Kdh added to the 5.0 roulette

[valid river]

Think he's chill

[hollow ermine]

Kdh vs xhaka watch today

[prime plinth]

Gyok hattrick

[prime plinth]

Xhaka with so many easy fixtures. He'll score a banger for sure

[valid river]

Barry over beto

KDH good

[prime plinth]

Barry is expected tbh

[valid river]

Jury still out on Kelleher

[prime plinth]

why would everton pay so much to not start him

[hollow ermine]

RIP

[valid river]

Who

[elder cargo]

Easy, no interest in him as a pick

[hollow ermine]

Xhaka

Kdh just as bad tbh

[prime plinth]

Man utd struggling

[valid river]

I'm sleeping now, need an Everton analysis y'all

[prime plinth]

Very poor

only chances have been set pieces really

[valid river]

Sounds like arsenal

[latent depot]

Perfect

[hollow ermine]

Run me my money

[prime plinth]

4 key passes for mbeumo in 1st half

[latent depot]

YOLO

[hollow ermine]

Mcgrr you seen Brentford games?

Only goal from open play is defensive error

[prime plinth]

my type of team

[hollow ermine]

It’s bleak fam

[prime plinth]

Bruno has done nothing this game btw

1 key pass and 1 defensive action in 65 minutes

[latent depot]

He's not going to farm CBITs in low intensity preseason

[valid river]

Bruno best at the price

[prime plinth]

bruno has 46 attempted passes ig

[valid river]

He got an assist

U melt

Sorry that was mean

[prime plinth]

Terrible

[valid river]

He got an assist

He's on 5-7 points

[prime plinth]

?

you mean the own goal

[valid river]

Yes?

Still assista

[prime plinth]

That isn't something you can replicate

[valid river]

Ofc not

[prime plinth]

his positions suck and his defcon is overhyped

his xgi in this deeper role is .36

[elder cargo]

Well his defcon is irrelevant for 9m

[valid river]

Let me enjoy my team

[prime plinth]

if i want defcon and .36 xgi per game. May as well get anderson who's close enough

[valid river]

Y'all haters

[prime plinth]

9m for pens is basically it

and bad fixtures

[waxen river]

I’m exactly the same

[valid river]

Another Bruno defcon

[prime plinth]

hyping up city arsenal chelsea and also fulham away

[hollow ermine]

Celebrating tackles

[valid river]

:(

[prime plinth]

also i was wrong. bruno has 0 key passes, Not 1

[valid river]

Start a Bruno hater thread

I have no where to put the Bruno money and I don't like any other mid

[little delta]

Diarra goal for sunderland

[valid river]

Name another non-liverpool mid

[hollow ermine]

Baller

[prime plinth]

I've seen enough. lock him in

bruno could never

[valid river]

Bruno in the cam

[prime plinth]

sunderland misssed pen

[valid river]

[prime plinth]

mayenda

[valid river]

Guiu good news

[trail forum]

you mean guiud news

[prime plinth]

just tell me when xhaka and adingra score

[hollow ermine]

X for doubt

[valid river]

Okay

Bruno

Is amazing asset

Just got 0.9999999xA

[prime plinth]

he is on a 2 pter

(Yes ik he frauded an assist)

[orchid plank]

4 now

[prime plinth]

and the fake assist

so basically 3 bps and a 11 pter

[valid river]

So Bruno got 7-8 points

Nice

[cerulean cape]

Ffs beto benched

Plan is dead

5atb it is

[quick dawn]

anyone going igor

i mean he seems riksy

[quick dawn]

cheeky 433

[lone glade]

ew

[fleet oracle]

Fellow Potts owner

[cerulean cape]

Don't see you in the top 1% club mate

[lone glade]

mate my team is 10x better

5 mids with a solid attack

[cerulean cape]

Why is every gk bad tho

[lone glade]

got kelleher 😭

[fleet oracle]

Who are the best 5m defenders now that colwill injured. Surely that makes Sanchez an avoid too?

[cerulean cape]

Bro was injured yest

Might get pickford/vdv

[cerulean cape]

For me avoid ye

Collins/lacroix

Romero good for first few

Not ruling out obrien either

[fleet oracle]

Don’t like the idea of a Brentford double def. Don’t like Forrest DD either, but prefer it to Brentford

[earnest torrent]

Is the best 7m mid option is still Rogers despite the injury?

[lone glade]

imo yes

[prime plinth]

1.5 itb

[jolly solstice]

Who's even going for Brentford double def

[wanton whale]

Saka and watkins over Moush and Gyok

[prime plinth]

moush is probably not staying lets be real

[prime plinth]

saka harder to move because the gw 3 options are striker based

[orchid plank]

kdh to tark close

[supple steeple]

@latent depot Tarko free header from a corner, wide

you're right about him

[broken patio]

I feel a lot safer with Bruno than I do with Marmoush

[little delta]

good, less people getting him

[prime plinth]

i think I'll have neither

[cedar hull]

Colwill out has saved you if you had him

Bruno is just Anderson on pens smh

[orchid plank]

Mykolenko with a problem, getting treatment. Seemed to gesture to bench that he'd need to come off. Aznou warming up...

[cedar hull]

Kdh on corners

[prime plinth]

Cook

only issue is kudus gw 2 and triple forest gw 4

just move saka and gyok gw3. imagine booking in transfers

[valid river]

Fh4

[wanton whale]

Evan vs Rogers 🤔

[cedar hull]

Kluivert and Rogers news needed

[little delta]

we need rogers news

[valid river]

I vote JSL

[little delta]

but i like evanilson apart from the first fix

[prime plinth]

Is Barry an option

[valid river]

No

[wanton whale]

yeah villa play tonight right?

[valid river]

Yes

[prime plinth]

Leeds brighton wolves is so nice but it is everton

[valid river]

:)

[wanton whale]

id just go thiago at that price

[prime plinth]

tottenham away tough to call after castle and arsenal game

vdv and romero fit just changes the whole dynamic. Palhinha

[little delta]

why would tottenham put me off him, liverpool game is

[prime plinth]

I'm just saying tottenham away is maybe not the same game it was

[broken patio]

So uhhhh what's going on with kelleher?

[prime plinth]

just avoid

was a bad pick anyway

[quick dawn]

who knows

you can get valdi

[prime plinth]

duhbravka not in squad right

[broken patio]

Yeah might do

[broken patio]

Nah but he's literally just signed

[little delta]

hes definitely not a bad pick imo

at least decent

[prime plinth]

ig it is just barry season

[little delta]

no one is picking barry 😭

[prime plinth]

he'll be nailed vs leeds brighton and wolves

beto is not getting that spot back

they signed him for like 40ms

[broken patio]

Tbf if I'm going kelleher I may as well have valdi over dubravka anyway

[prime plinth]

this is everton we talking about

[broken patio]

Would've been nice to play dubravka gw2 but it's fine

[prime plinth]

muniz could be the one

He has breakout potential at 5.5

Fpl made if he had the mins

[valid river]

I think I'm going dubravka, kelleher and bb2

[latent depot]

Mykolenko injured?

[cedar hull]

Are we really the cbit thread if we haven't got the cbit stats for a Bayern youngster yet

[latent depot]

what's Everton's LB depth?

[cedar hull]

Aznou

[latent depot]

Azwho

[valid river]

When's Brentford lineup leaking for their game?

[cedar hull]

.

[prime plinth]

interesting that wilson shows up once again given the preseason form

[latent depot]

@cerulean cape how are you not Pickford now that Branthwaite is fit? you had him all this time

[quick dawn]

how risky is thiago

[elder cargo]

low risk, they’re linked with Dango if Wissa leaves but he’s not actually a 9

[latent depot]

yes

[elder cargo]

Wing and backup striker option I would assume

[quick dawn]

what if wissa stays or they randomly sign a new striker

[elder cargo]

Well I’m sure you can deduce the answer then

[hollow ermine]

Kdh goon sesh

Set pieces

I’m hard

[elder cargo]

Thiago is only interesting if Wissa leaves

[prime plinth]

kdh bb1

[hollow ermine]

Pogggggg

[latent depot]

KDH won't get CBITs

[hollow ermine]

No cbit though

[latent depot]

and Everton won't score much

[prime plinth]

he's 5m

i agree though

[latent depot]

KDH the kinda guy to get 0.45xGI90 for Everton and mostly get 2-3 points

[prime plinth]

overrated idea but maybe moyes cooks

[elder cargo]

Goons would rather pay .5 extra for Anderson 3 pointers

[prime plinth]

so is harry wilson legit or too much mins risk

[elder cargo]

@orchid plank is the one to ask

[latent depot]

Anderson will get 12 points GW1-3, then get DC points once GW4-6

[prime plinth]

fulham first 5 is underrated

[supple steeple]

Former Barca and Bayern academy, loaned to Almeria or something last season, 19 yo

Valladolid, not Almeria

sorry

[prime plinth]

I really wouldn't mind having a cheap fulham attacker if one gets enough mins

[hollow ermine]

None are 5.0 mid

Easy avoid

[quick dawn]

update on thiago

[valid river]

Kelleher updated on the app uh oh

[elder cargo]

huge

[supple steeple]

KDH looks really really good btw

and he's on set pieces

[hollow ermine]

Brentford have looked like stoke city

[elder cargo]

We’re so there

[hollow ermine]

You’re welcome

Proper chels

[latent depot]

@elder cargo don't until you've analysed the data. Anderson farms CBITs vs midtable teams, he's extremly likely to get DC points every game GW1-3, +1 clean sheet -1 yellow card = 12 points. He doesn't get the same CBITs vs relegation teams, and it's hard to farm CBITs vs Arsenal, so I stand by my prediction of DC points once in GW4-6

[orchid plank]

Best you can get

[hollow ermine]

Xhaka on free kicks

[valid river]

What time is the Brentford game
