[slim bane]

Haven’t looked this way at all in preseason

[prime plinth]

i literally told you this would happen

[broken patio]

My god we're a reactionary bunch huh?

[slim bane]

Ht

[broken patio]

Knees in the chat going crazy

[prime plinth]

arsenal will turn up when the season startd

starts

[wanton whale]

i hate when people say this as if its not obvious ive chosen Saka over Watkins. like you cant have every premium asset in your team omds

[prime plinth]

i said all this before the goals. said it earlier today

It just validates what I was saying

[surreal ocean]

liverpool, forest, man city, newcastle sucks bad

[twin ice]

hold

[surreal ocean]

when palmer is right there

[prime plinth]

OMg where'spalmer

[surreal ocean]

maybe you go with both but i just think that weakens your defence

[broken patio]

Not even considering saka

[orchid plank]

Not even considering Palmer

[broken patio]

If I'm wrong im wrong

[fleet oracle]

I somehow am almost on Collins and kelleher

[surreal ocean]

why vrawn

his numbers are bloody great

[humble bane]

No cold palmer is illegal

[wanton whale]

its actually so jarring 😭

[cedar hull]

so funny that gyok scores his first header in a year as his first goal for arsenal 😭

[prime plinth]

palmer or saka is fine. saka is only a 2gw play. same as gyok. double is excessive

[humble bane]

how can I squeeze Gakpo or Isak into this team :(

[orchid plank]

prefer Saka for the first 2 and move to a Cunha/Boomo for burnley H in 3

[trail mica]

i can just feel that we're losing to burnley in 3

pure vibes

[prime plinth]

Karma for the guy who said he's bad at headers when I said they'd be feeding the box roamer

[broken patio]

Bruno > saka

[prime plinth]

stop

saka has leeds at home

you can go saka first 2 then bruno

[latent depot]

Athletic Club = Man United, right? same tier I presume

[orchid plank]

Exactly what im doing but rather Cunha

[cedar hull]

thank god youre mentally sound enough to move on

[surreal ocean]

round 2

[prime plinth]

thank god you can take the L on the take aging well

[surreal ocean]

also 'the guy' as if you guys werent chatting for half an hour

[cedar hull]

united beat them quite comfortably last season

[latent depot]

where's Havertz?

[cedar hull]

7-1 aggregate lol

[twin ice]

bench

[prime plinth]

utd played a atheltic club without nico anyway

[humble bane]

Frimpong pocketed Nico

its ez

[prime plinth]

it is all good. gyok and saka hauls gw2

[cedar hull]

never seen a spurs fan love arsenal this much

[prime plinth]

ange left. who do i even support atp

[cedar hull]

idk mate the club?

[broken patio]

Wait wait Pedro scored again?

[prime plinth]

you mean parasite levy

[broken patio]

Cmon man

[cedar hull]

[prime plinth]

support the guy who sacked the manager that won us our first european trophy in 40 seasons

[prime plinth]

in which chat

i probably say tottenham more

[broken patio]

What if you win something in the next few seasons with frank? Will it then be okay?

Not okay

But

[cedar hull]

he will support them then 👍

[broken patio]

Can you support spurs again

[surreal ocean]

tbf all owners are scumbags

[broken patio]

tony bloom noises

[surreal ocean]

even the ones with good pr

[prime plinth]

Obviously disappointed by the decision but also was joking

always back my team

fpl that doesn't matter though

gyokeres is a typical striker with saka and ode and rice feeding

physically ready for a high level in pl

That is my view outside of any numbers

[broken patio]

Have we had any news on Rogers friends?

[slim bane]

No

[broken patio]

Mate I'm fucking telling you guys

Ayari is the 5.0 pick

[humble bane]

brainwashing

[broken patio]

Perri stinks

Stonks

[cedar hull]

mdc goal

[broken patio]

Guys what if João Pedro is actually.... Good?

[pale tiger]

De cuyper goal

[humble bane]

no way

[orchid plank]

fairs

[humble bane]

...

[cedar hull]

@broken patio petrovic saved a pen btw

[humble bane]

He is good. it's a reverse bell curve
Casuals and extremely high IQs will own Pedro who will cook, while all the mid FPL players wont

de cuyper essential :(

[lavish parcel]

How are Villa Playing?

[cedar hull]

11 players are on the pitch and kick the ball idk

[violet temple]

aston-ishly

[broken patio]

Let's fucking goooooo

De Cuyper on wc7 >>>

[cedar hull]

it was a pen save and rebound, my keeper

[humble bane]

Havertz una

[cyan dust]

Havertz goal

[twin ice]

holy shit

what a fucking goal

[cyan dust]

Saka assist

[cedar hull]

never in doubt

[novel harbor]

kai havertz is essential

get him in

[broken patio]

Gyokeres not stonks

Can my phone stop correcting stonks to stinks ffs

[cedar hull]

was it a header

[cyan dust]

no

[broken patio]

That whole play for the havertz goal was delightful

[orchid plank]

Trafford; Lewis, Khusanov, Stones, Ait-Nouri; Gonzalez, O’Reilly; Bobb, Cherki, Marmoush; Haaland

[broken patio]

Marmoush

Havertz goal btw ^

[cyan dust]

Bobb

[cedar hull]

trafford

[broken patio]

That pass from Ben white is ridiculous

Ans then the flick on

And the finish

Phwoar

I'm wet

[elder cargo]

This is somebody’s manager

[latent depot]

I was on Gyokeres for all of 1 hour, back to Watkins after some sanity

[cedar hull]

can watkins score headers though

[humble bane]

fairs

[carmine arch]

Fulkrug 90m

Get in my team

3 strikers might be back

[twin ice]

got both

[broken patio]

Rutter's goal ^

[quick dawn]

should i play 5atb kekw

munoz or triple forest

[orchid plank]

Munoz obv

[quick dawn]

idk i really dont like the fix

[lavish parcel]

If Trafford is starting today, it means he's pretty much nailed on for gw1?

It's sels vs Trafford

Idk who to go for

[quick dawn]

not trafford

also wheres the defcon sheet

id get munoz if his defcons were good but its mid right

[cedar hull]

0.43 per 90

cbit points per start

[humble bane]

Lol this tells us nothing

half rotated ..

[quick dawn]

43% chance to get the points?

[cedar hull]

no

0.43 points per game from dc points

[supple steeple]

BOBB 🇳🇴

[cedar hull]

so 21.5% hit rate

[hollow ermine]

That’s not the worst thing in the world tbf

[hollow ermine]

Helper going crazy

[hollow ermine]

lol

Fucker somehow managed to make it even more misleading for us

[hollow ermine]

He’s great at saving pens

[quick dawn]

oh thats not great

i have spot for another 5.5 but i dont like any

milenkovic is the highest ev

[hollow ermine]

Bowen vs all 7.5 and 7.0

Who better

[wanton whale]

i dont think ill go for it tbh

[humble bane]

Gakpo comes close, Joao Pedro lowk has a higher ceiling, Eze could be nice after his fixtures swing, Think thats about it

oh and Rogers ofc

[hollow ermine]

Why not

[cedar hull]

its one of the best for a fullback, expecting about 16 extra points

[hollow ermine]

Back line is meta

Strikers are shit anyway

[quick dawn]

yeah but thats not a lot in like 5 games

[wanton whale]

think I like watkins +1m more than Saka

[hollow ermine]

I should’ve said strikers mb

[cedar hull]

yeah i prefer lacroix personally

munoz has like 10-12 xgi though

[hollow ermine]

I’m not sure I’m playing lacroix every week

[humble bane]

oh wtf Tarkowski got 16 CBITs today

...

[lavish parcel]

Branthwaite effect

[cedar hull]

bench him for andersen/rodon gw1 then play him the rest

[wanton whale]

im purely going Munoz for vibes, more fun to watch but lacroix and 0.5 is probably better

[cedar hull]

valid, i just really like lacroix tbh, 1.1%eo vs 8.4

[latent depot]

I'm on triple Forest and Everton defence

[lavish parcel]

Jesus

[wanton whale]

bit of corner threat as well tbh

[hollow ermine]

Hell not sure I’m playing lacroix vs Chelsea given they play pool on Sunday then they play UECL 3 days after Chelsea gw1 and play UECL the next week as well

[lavish parcel]

I am definitely having double to each side ngl

[hollow ermine]

I dont have Anderson

I have Steve though

[lavish parcel]

The CBs being the ones

[cedar hull]

love a bullet header

[lavish parcel]

I like Trafford ngl

Bro was saving everything at Burnley

[hollow ermine]

I’m wondering if I should downgrade Bowen to evanilson and use the 1.0 to get a 5.5 midfielder

[lavish parcel]

City's cs potential will be rising

[hollow ermine]

But honestly I don’t think it’s worth

[lavish parcel]

Nah, keep Bowen

[hollow ermine]

Bournemouth are a good club, good data but they often find it hard to finish the job, and look worse

[lavish parcel]

He's gonna ball

[hollow ermine]

I think I’ll just bite the bullet and play lacroix every week

[cedar hull]

bournemouth clean sheet against sociedad

[latent depot]

Sorted by xGA since Moyes (Everton played 19 games cos of postponed Liverpool fixture)

[lavish parcel]

Petro owners when they realize they don't real sociedad every week

Fulham wtf

[latent depot]

so Everton third despite extra game vs Liverpool

on both xGA and actual GA

[lavish parcel]

Almost on par with city

Crazy work

[hollow ermine]

Marco silva has tried

[latent depot]

👀

[keen wren]

Wonder if forest will score their 2nd goal of preseason today

[quick dawn]

i might be a triple forest defence goon

[lavish parcel]

Cooking 🧑‍🍳

[supple steeple]

O'Brien at right back is the reason

[hollow ermine]

X for doubt

[quick dawn]

the thing is milenkovic just looks better than someone like thiago

[supple steeple]

masterstroke by Moyes

[latent depot]

now you're missing a LB, play McNeil there

[supple steeple]

Anzou did fine coming on

[hollow ermine]

I’m on petro rn cause kelleher

Bar that every single 4.5 is garbage

[lavish parcel]

That is true

[hollow ermine]

Prices this season were great

I’ve said that too much

[quick dawn]

u can just get valdimarson or sub dubravka

[hollow ermine]

But I really like them

Also true

[quick dawn]

or darlow if hes guarenteed to start

[hollow ermine]

Atleast with petro I’m promised save points

[cedar hull]

Petro and lacroix both benched gw1 for me

[wanton whale]

yes

[wanton whale]

for who?

[hollow ermine]

Dubravka rodon

[lavish parcel]

Do you still have enough for triple pool with this backline?

If you do, you're goated

I actually might go 451

[cerulean cape]

We have similar thinking sir

[lavish parcel]

Bro is gonna be top 10k gw1

[cedar hull]

Andersen valdimarsson assuming kelleher not fit

[cerulean cape]

No wood actually makes everything better

[latent depot]

chasing an incredible ceiling while maintaining a decent floor

[cerulean cape]

Have bruno/Rogers over the two pool tho

[cedar hull]

@wanton whale Andersen covers lacroix gw1, neco gw4 and tark gw5 pretty well fwiw

[lavish parcel]

Idk I am so hesitant on Watkins now that rogers is out

[wanton whale]

yeah ive looked at anderson

[novel harbor]

if you want joint OR: 1 with me

[cedar hull]

Villa have another friendly tomorrow, Rogers not in the squad and it's not looking good brev

[lavish parcel]

Villa 3-1 down yikes

[latent depot]

Emery said he wouldn't feature this weekend

no reason to risk him

just a mild strain tho

[novel harbor]

bro 😭

[latent depot]

it's a B team

[trail forum]

this is like the perfect algo team.....with ekitike

[lavish parcel]

I thought this was the last game for them

[latent depot]

too template for OR1 tbh

[lavish parcel]

Didn't know they play tomorrow

[trail forum]

well well well

if it isnt the worst backline in this entire thread

imagine eze is rogers or ndiaye or kudus and the defence is fixed

[novel harbor]

not template at all

[supple steeple]

LMAO all in are we?

Pickford was MASSIVE today

[novel harbor]

most unique team ever actually

[latent depot]

YOLO Branthwaite Rogers/Kelleher doubts

[lavish parcel]

Is it risky to go Saka over Palmer? (I need that 0.5 so bad)

[cedar hull]

There's just no gain tbh

I'm sure you can find the 0.5 somewhere

Evanilson and Christie

[novel harbor]

i would pick evanilson if he wasnt guaranteed 0 returns against liverpool

may aswell have a higher chance of hitting defcon than scoring

[lavish parcel]

I am starting to like porro

Fix are there and he's been good on cbit potential and attacking

[lone thorn]

no Reijn ffs Pep

[lavish parcel]

Sels to Pickford

[quick dawn]

nah its thread meta sort of

[wanton whale]

Evan in then

[cedar hull]

Do you bench him gw1

[quick dawn]

i think bournemouth will score personally

[cedar hull]

Same, looking like a 3/4-1 type of game

[quick dawn]

fullkrug actulally has good fix

but its like fullkrug vs milenkovic

[cedar hull]

If you weren't looking at Bowen idky you're looking at fullkrug

[quick dawn]

well i like other players at bowens pricepoint

the 6s all kinda suck

[orchid plank]

Haaland g

[surreal ocean]

its tinker time

[novel harbor]

gg if you don’t own haaland

[cyan dust]

Rico Lewis assist

[surreal ocean]

salah and haaland and saka and palmer are ESSENTIAL

[humble bane]

Did non haaland owners not think haaland would score a goal

dfkm

where is the brain

[latent depot]

FPL review free model has Esteve as the highest scoring defender GW2

seems reasonable tbh

[wanton whale]

nah just hope for a return somehow

[trail forum]

even clankers cope

[wanton whale]

woah lets not call them that

[novel harbor]

no haaland saka gyokeres and havertz

[novel harbor]

lemme check paid

[cyan dust]

cherki shot blocked from bobb pass

[novel harbor]

munoz for paid

[surreal ocean]

44 fucking 2

[novel harbor]

saliba for solio

solio seems more sensible than review

[surreal ocean]

im using solio but im natty

i just use it to plan

[novel harbor]

solio also correctly has lacroix over munoz gw2 👍

[surreal ocean]

jade what you think

pretty template huh

[novel harbor]

ye solid

[wanton whale]

prefer Milen over VVD good tho

[surreal ocean]

i was on semenyo in a 451 (w watkins as my fwd) but think 442 is just a bit more flexible

if watkins is injured i dont need to make a transfer

[surreal ocean]

hm im not too interested in a forest double up

[wanton whale]

fair, vvd isnt actually that good for defcon and you have Evan so just food for thought

not that hes a bad pick

[cyan dust]

we have 13/15 players in common

[surreal ocean]

me you and most of this thread lol

[novel harbor]

8/15 in common

[surreal ocean]

lemme scroll up

hm very quirky

frimpong is out there

[humble bane]

frimpong easily the best 6m defender, and tmrw will prove it

[cyan dust]

isn’t nailed on sadly

[humble bane]

is

[wanton whale]

dont trust pool defense rn

[humble bane]

defensively i agree. but he spends his entire time in opponent's half attacking them

[wanton whale]

wait and see for me

he could play rw during afcon 🔥

[cedar hull]

Forest still 1 goal in 7

At least they can defend

Is Trafford an option if ederson doesn't get subbed on

[wanton whale]

god they are dreadful going forward tho

[cedar hull]

Means they have to hold onto that clean sheet more

[wanton whale]

think ive just seen the one of the worst drafts on twitter lmao

[orchid plank]

City team for second half: Ederson, Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Gundogan, Reijnders, Silva, Doku, Savinho, Haaland

[wanton whale]

yeah not going marmoush

[keen wren]

Forest

[cedar hull]

95TV 🔥

[keen wren]

Some ppl are considering wood…

[cedar hull]

Fuck you too

I hate keepers as is man

[cedar hull]

@cerulean cape thoughts?

[wanton whale]

90 minute defcon beast Anderson hooked at 62 🔥

[keen wren]

We know you’ll have him by gw1

[wanton whale]

hellll nah

im his biggest hater

dont doubt react me Ive been 4 back since the start 🤬

[keen wren]

Can’t leak whether I have him or not

[wanton whale]

u defo have arias

[latent depot]

Nuno, what are you cooking

[cedar hull]

10.5m keeper rotation 🔥

[keen wren]

I’d rather have onana than trafford

[cedar hull]

New Trafford > old trafford

[wanton whale]

average fpl chat take

[latent depot]

BB6

[barren geyser]

saw a guy asking how many defcon points keepers need for points

[cedar hull]

that was bait

and every mf fell for it

[barren geyser]

or was it

[wanton whale]

Murillo and Wood hooked

[cedar hull]

its fish bro, course it was bait

[wanton whale]

Nuno going mad

[cedar hull]

threads dead, team time

[wanton whale]

wheres Mateta 🥺

[cedar hull]

lost him

[wanton whale]

how come 😟

[humble bane]

dont kill me man what is this preseason

...

[cyan dust]

Reijnders goal

[orchid plank]

Reijnders g fairs

[hollow ermine]

They drafting LMS now?

Too many participants I guess

[wanton whale]

essential

[novel harbor]

ugh i wish solanke was gonna play :/

[cedar pine]

my completely non-biased team non-kneejerky third draft of preseason

[cyan dust]

Reijnders brace

[novel harbor]

reijnders actually in

not baiting

review was right

[novel harbor]

almost perfect just needs reijnders

[cedar pine]

hes in now

[novel harbor]

id recommend him over that salah guy

he hasnt been doing much this pre season

[cedar pine]

zubimendi out reijndeers in, team ready

[wanton whale]

wait zubimendi was 5.5?

[cedar pine]

yep

i was watching highlights of todays game and he was kinda involved in quite a few

but last season 2g+2a is not great

[wanton whale]

he will be yeah but obviously way better options

crap cbit as well

[lone thorn]

Reijn haters wys👂🏼

u all laughed at me

[wanton whale]

bro im all ears icl

[cedar pine]

my team is perfect now

[wanton whale]

with rodri out

[cedar pine]

kinda only half joking

[keen wren]

Anderson owners shaking

[cedar pine]

gyokeres palmer saka salah

[wanton whale]

cant even link the goal ffs

[valid river]

Ok I'm away

Awake

0-0

Hell yeah?

Reindeer double though that's good

[wanton whale]

with rodri out hes tempting

[novel harbor]

if u want to get OR: 1

[wanton whale]

bin Haaland Reijnders better goal scorer

[novel harbor]

nah haaland saving his full power

[cedar hull]

anyone got that reijnders clip lmao

[wanton whale]

the failed hatty?

i would link but x rules

[cedar hull]

dm innit

[wanton whale]

sent

[valid river]

Anyone have an everton analysis?

[humble bane]

such a tough one between forest CBs and tarkowski

i might have to get all 3

somehow

[wanton whale]

all you need to know is Tark got 10 cbit in 67 minutes

[humble bane]

I checked a few games last season and Tark was getting 15-20 CBITs wtff

[wanton whale]

he looks so good

[valid river]

Reijnders great asset

[cyan dust]

30/38 is insane

[prime plinth]

Reijnders season

[latent depot]

anyone looked at Chelsea defenders for CBITs?

[lone thorn]

ffs, Gakpo pick gone, now Reijn

[quick dawn]

idk but tosin 4.5 might play

[latent depot]

wait what?

[lone thorn]

i had them since my first draft, secret picks

[cedar hull]

theyre all shit

[hollow ermine]

Chaloboah could be a solid 4.5 now

Doesn't farm cbit though

[quick dawn]

remember chalobah goal vs palace

[hollow ermine]

Highest hit rate in chelsea though

Lemme check the numbers

[latent depot]

isn't Chalobah's CBITs from before his transfer?

farmed at Palace

[cedar hull]

yeah his stats are good from palace

still probably the best from chelsea but still wont get many

or even start

[hollow ermine]

39% hit rate, it's not terrible

[hollow ermine]

Eh, he started more games for chelsea after his return back

Roughly half

[cedar hull]

yeah but for palace

hes not getting close at chelsea

[cyan dust]

Tosin has the best cbit per90 for chels defense with 7.31

[carmine arch]

Fh4

[cyan dust]

Tosin might start because Colwills out

[cedar hull]

fh 4 and no forest assets what

[hollow ermine]

Would still avoid anyway

[cedar hull]

oh thats the fh

[hollow ermine]

Tosin and trev were sharing minutes

[cedar hull]

[hollow ermine]

They were rotated a lot,think colwill injury gives them more minutes each but hato can play lcb and cucu and Josh etc

Chaloboah does benefit more I think though

[latent depot]

sucks that only Colwill and Cucu were really nailed

[hollow ermine]

Not sure if that translates to fpl points though

[latent depot]

Hato is only 19

[valid river]

I'm annoyed everyone is going to get riejnders :(

[valid river]

Lmaooo

Any kelleher updates

[zealous forum]

So who do I need to get after today

[valid river]

Maybe kelleher if there's good news

[zealous forum]

Ew no

[cedar hull]

a gf

[zealous forum]

Already got one 💔

Next time I'll say yes to you Classiic

Maybe

[cedar hull]

woah

bit forward

take me out to dinner first

[zealous forum]

You're paying

[cedar hull]

before i say my next statement, are you over 18

[elder cargo]

Just got back from the cinema and seen Reijnders got a brace, that ownership is about to be jumping

[cedar hull]

he missed an open net for the hatty

[zealous forum]

Ay yo

[elder cargo]

Fluke performance or does his positioning look good?

[cedar hull]

good, but its palermo who are probably league one equivalent

also analcord on ran after his performance

[wanton whale]

very good

[elder cargo]

Interesting

[wanton whale]

box crashing dm

no rodri either

[prime plinth]

Reijnders

5.5m

That is so cheap

[wanton whale]

new gundo

[elder cargo]

Nico playing DM today no?

Gonzalez

I assumed he would take on that Gundogan role

Probably doesn’t bang that often but a very interesting 5.5 option

Did Cherki do anything

[cedar hull]

[wanton whale]

yeah him and o reilly for the first half

[prime plinth]

Is Raul a troll pick?

[wanton whale]

probably

Reijn heat map

[prime plinth]

How much does bps change impact him ig

[supple steeple]

Muniz seems to randomly get starts

[prime plinth]

Raul has 4 solid enough fixtures

Muniz rumoured transfers

[supple steeple]

and gets subbed on every game basically when he doesnt start

[wanton whale]

Raul at 6.5 is just meh imo

[prime plinth]

Pens and decent goal threat with muniz maybe gone

Ig if they sign someone it screws up everything

[wanton whale]

if Muniz goes they will sign someone id imagine

[prime plinth]

If Tottenham get Mcatee that would be an fpl bargain

[supple steeple]

I mean

[wanton whale]

cant rely on 34 year old Raul all season

[supple steeple]

if Jimi is nailed he's certainly an option

[marsh palm]

Tosin and Trev will start v Palace dont question it

Fofana isn’t ready yet and everyone else is depth

[supple steeple]

but its a wait and see, too risky

[prime plinth]

Maybe it is Wilson season fr

[humble bane]

ignore chalobah btw most of that wasnt for chels

[prime plinth]

Murrulo milenkovic tark🔐

[valid river]

NFO assets look hood

[cedar hull]

gabriel same as neco

[valid river]

And Neco

[prime plinth]

Gabriel could sneak into my team

[marsh palm]

Tosin is pretty nailed

Chalobah starts on Reece/Gusto’s side anyways

[marsh palm]

I like

[prime plinth]

Are we sleeping on Lewis hall

Tbf Newcastle look awful preseason

[humble bane]

nope. newcastle r finished

[wanton whale]

No

[humble bane]

Tosin 4.5 ....

[cyan dust]

nah Newcastle don’t really have good fixtures and they’ve been shit in preseason

[marsh palm]

I mean all I can say is for GW1 I highly doubt its not Tosin and Chalobah

[valid river]

There would be a divergence of tosin starting in specific non- possession games and him getting dc

That's my bet

[marsh palm]

And Maresca doesn’t really sub off his CBs

[lone thorn]

[cyan dust]

Who’s more likely to start out of chalobah and Tosin ❓

[lone thorn]

wtf

Jason spoke

[marsh palm]

I think Tosin

[valid river]

And it's about Chelsea CBs

[marsh palm]

Just watch the game vs Fluminense

If you want to see how they set up in possession and out of it

[supple steeple]

dude prob has more reacts than messages

[valid river]

Everton thought?

[supple steeple]

positive after the Roma game

with Branth back

I'm getting Tarko and KDH at least

[valid river]

Hell yeah

Same

[cyan dust]

How did ndiaye look today?

[prime plinth]

Forest 0-0 again btw

They are so good for fpl

[valid river]

Yes

[supple steeple]

shoulda scored

[marsh palm]

Ouattra gonna be confirmed by GW1?

He might be my 5th midfielder

[valid river]

Okay so

[quick dawn]

ok im sold

[valid river]

Any Kelleher news?

[supple steeple]

was through on goal and missed from 5-6m

[cyan dust]

not yet

[valid river]

Damn

[quick dawn]

i could be a bot and pick sanchez

[cedar hull]

[marsh palm]

With Fofana close to playing again? No way

Tosin’s cover Badiashile is hurt

[marsh palm]

Any news about Dango

[supple steeple]

#1 Kelleher Inquirer (Again)

[marsh palm]

Man Tosin looks like a really good option

[marsh palm]

What’s with the skull

[prime plinth]

Not nailed for 90

Could sign someone

[supple steeple]

7.31

[prime plinth]

Cbit is not relevant to chelsea

[marsh palm]

? Who subs Tosin off

Hato is more depth for Cucu then he is Tosin

Badiashile is hurt

[cedar hull]

fofana vs tosin vs chalobah

[marsh palm]

If anything I think hes more nailed then Chalobah

Who will have Fofana

[marsh palm]

Fofana wont start GW1

[prime plinth]

Just get Sanchez atp

[marsh palm]

Maresca said he’ll hopefully contribute v Palace

[cedar hull]

chelsea def is hardly essential

[prime plinth]

Glad I was picking a team for just gw1

Only cs based team i trust is arsenal

Forest i like because that setup usually inflates xgc a bit anyway. Think they'll continue to shut-down enough teams

[prime plinth]

Liverpool at home. Maybe city at home

Idm Gab fixtures if you take out Liverpool away

[wanton whale]

Not really sure if this is strong enough for bb2

[prime plinth]

Probably not but it doesn't commit anything to a bb so doesn't matter if not

[cedar hull]

fwd spot kills bb2 ngl

but i still dont mind it

[prime plinth]

Yeah bb3 thiago might work

[wanton whale]

yeah exactly

[prime plinth]

Do you want thiago though...

[wanton whale]

3 promoted assets on a bb is just a shit bb waiting to happen

[prime plinth]

Is gyokeres stocks up or just saka

[cedar hull]

its fine when they play each other tbh, must win after all

oh god gonna see reijnders in every draft now

[wanton whale]

eh viable as always

[prime plinth]

Putting no stock into watkins preseason. Played nobodies

Ig he scored in the 2 relevant games

I'm just a hater

[wanton whale]

respect Watkins

[prime plinth]

It just seems so mid

[cyan dust]

why

[prime plinth]

Surely his vapm value doesn't stack up

[wanton whale]

consistent, good opening run, nice price point can pivot if needed

[cedar hull]

higher than bruno

wheres mcgrrs vapm thing

though idk his adjustments

[barren geyser]

might be the best team in the world (im biased)

[wanton whale]

triple pool mids if rogers ded

[valid river]

Don't expose me bro I'm stressed

[hollow ermine]

Chaloboah can play lcb tosin can not

Really simple

[wanton whale]

tbf do we still rate Watkins if Rogers is out

[prime plinth]

Lacroix or Andersen

[lone thorn]

7/15 with me

[prime plinth]

For just gw 4 and 5

[wanton whale]

Lacroix

[cedar hull]

not for me no

villa become worse without rogers imo

[hollow ermine]

Route to gyok as well

[marsh palm]

So is the Fluminense game just non existant

[wanton whale]

for sure

[marsh palm]

He started on Cucurellas side and then played CCB in posession

[barren geyser]

surely rogers wont be out for a while hopefully

[wanton whale]

im convinced he'll make gw1

[cedar hull]

need pressers

[wanton whale]

fr

[hollow ermine]

I don’t think Reece inverts into dm in the prem though

[barren geyser]

im kinda holding it out until deadline

[hollow ermine]

Whenever we had to play someone else in lcb it was trev

I think they’ll play together anyway

[marsh palm]

Tosin and Chalobah will be the pairing regardless

Thats all that matters

Idk how Maresca will set up

[hollow ermine]

But if you have to pick one chaloboah benefits more

[marsh palm]

Does Gusto play does he not

[wanton whale]

JP same ownership as Salah, worse part is he will probably do well

[valid river]

Yeah sadly if he does well it'll be good for all casuals

[latent depot]

Rogers will be out for just GW1 at worst. Newcastle are bad at the moment

[cedar hull]

lacroix subbing in for 541

[marsh palm]

Embed failure

[prime plinth]

Vic and kinksy double up

[valid river]

5-2-3 gang?

I just don't know any strikers to sit on the bench for bb1-3

[prime plinth]

Keep coming back to kudus given the fixtures

Gyokeres to solanke pathway in gw3

[hollow ermine]

Some interesting pre season stats from today

Reijnders 2 goals
Haaland 1 goal
Lewis 1 assist Savinho 1 assist
Diarra 1 goal and is the main creative outlet
Adingra 1 assist
Xhaka on some set pieces
McGinn 1 goal
Rutter 1 goal
De cuyper 1goal
Wieffer and Ayari 1 assist
Fulkrugg one goal
Soucek 1 assist
Bruno 1 assist
Saka 1 goal 1 assist
Chokeres 1 goal
Havertz 1 goal
Zubi and Martinelli 1 goal
Stach 1 goal

Rest fodder

[marsh palm]

Haaland > Salah confirmed

[prime plinth]

Adingra tempting but it is Sunderland as well

[hollow ermine]

Ayari would be in my team rn assuming his fix weren’t terrible

[prime plinth]

West ham burnley Brentford is such a nice run for adingra

Don't think it is worth it though

[marsh palm]

Evanilson scored hmmmm

@broken patio Whats the deal with Evanilson

[supple steeple]

you forgot Branth and Tarko both got 10+ cbit

[hollow ermine]

We don’t do that here

[broken patio]

Reijnders 2 goals wtf?

Saw fplwire saying he has the potential to be one of the most midpriced players in FPL ever

[prime plinth]

I mean 5.5 is a terrible pricing

[little delta]

i cant believe forest 0-0 again

[waxen river]

Can somebody give me a summary of what we learned today

I just woke up

[cedar pine]

I'd say the three headlines is utd struggled vs fiorentina, gyokeres started and him + saka were involved in a good win, while reijnders braced for city

[lone thorn]

[waxen river]

Ty 🙏

[cedar hull]

[prime plinth]

I wonder if bb team. fh4 for salah. setup owning haaland in gw6 ever works

and worst case you turn it into wc4

[prime plinth]

not the best for cbit

[prime plinth]

Just a reminder to not overreact

Seen too many doubting Arsenal

[twin ice]

I think the main message from this is that Reijnders outshone Haaland

[broken patio]

Reijnders goal and defcon points outscores Haaland brace

That's the thing

[prime plinth]

Does he really get defcon

[slim bane]

ah the familiar problem

[lavish parcel]

Despite the Bayern game, I have faith in Porro to get a 10+ pointer in one of the first 6

[lone thorn]

Lacroix -> Richards ez

[prime plinth]

not crazy different. I like that gyok can move to any striker

[slim bane]

Lacroix is in the long term team tho

[prime plinth]

in gw3

[lavish parcel]

I would downgrade Watkins ngl

[slim bane]

Gyok to mateta booked

orrrr

Run Bowen over Watkins

[prime plinth]

I'm not huge on watkins but gw5-7 is so strong

[lavish parcel]

I've currently got Bowen

[lone thorn]

Neco -> 4.5 then

[lavish parcel]

Bowen to Mateta is my booked in transfer for gw4

[slim bane]

but mah triple forest def

[cyan dust]

Gakpo->rogers if he’s fit

[prime plinth]

value of watkins is you never have to move him and he is close enough to go solanke and isak gw3 worst case with gyok

[lone thorn]

esp if they buy Leif Davis

[prime plinth]

As much as Kudus has some unkowns. First 7 for attackers is so good

[slim bane]

[prime plinth]

Kudus proven he can be solid for ppm in fpl the season before

[lone thorn]

damn man that Milenk + Murillo combo is nice

[limber pine]

Is this a serious team?

[lone thorn]

might swipe that

[slim bane]

yea

why

[limber pine]

Just wondering.

[prime plinth]

gw3 fh?

[slim bane]

It’s all the attackers anw

all good

[marsh palm]

B-b-but Neco's xVAPM > Milenkovic's!!!

[lone thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-gif-18412682

[slim bane]

Neco under threat from potential Davis signing

[prime plinth]

leif davis was bid for by forest. neco threat

[marsh palm]

Isnt he unlikely to get sold

[slim bane]

dk

They’ve rejected alr

[lone thorn]

i could do Gabi -> Milenko for that Milenk + Murill combo

[slim bane]

From previous PL teams bids I meant

idk the current status

[limber pine]

Neco is pretty nailed when they sign Davis, Aina currently has a minor injury. And Davis signing his most meant for when Aina going to AFCON. And Neco is more nailed than Aina, so better to have Murillo / Milenkovic + Neco, rather than wasting .5 unnecessary

[cyan dust]

what’s ur defense looking like rn

[limber pine]

It’s a very good defense, but it’s overkill icl

[lone thorn]

fk it lemme just send my team

[slim bane]

This thread has more ppl on 4atb than normal

should’ve renamed it high on cbits

[limber pine]

Still overkill, can play 4 ATB without using so much of your budget in that.

[slim bane]

If you’re consistently starting all 4 defs you’d want them to be 5M min

4.5 defs are for rotation

JP gonna be sweating for every teamsheet

[supple steeple]

I dont see 3x4.0m defenders in there

[slim bane]

2x 4M GKs tho

But not in my latest draft

[lone thorn]

wondering to do Gabi -> Murillo ,i'm wc7 anyway for the arsenal fixture turn

[cyan dust]

having Allison/raya when gab & vvd are there as options instead feels so wrong

[limber pine]

Having just max 6 players playing outfield nailed all the time is probably the sign you should spread your funds more. And Reijnders is far from nailed. So I would definitely spread your funds around.

[lone thorn]

.5 cheaper

[marsh palm]

JP will start but he's probably our first 1 or 2 subs

[lone thorn]

442 meta

[marsh palm]

I do expect some form of return tho

[slim bane]

If it was 343 then I would only have 7 outfielders

[limber pine]

What you doing if Reijnders starts on the bench 3 games in a row?

[lone thorn]

also, Reijn is my guy if u didn't know

[slim bane]

If it’s 442 it makes sense to just have 6 attackers

Min the bench

[cyan dust]

there’s no reason to have Gabi instead of a forest defender unless ur wc13 ngl

[slim bane]

you’re starting the same players anw

[lone thorn]

selling

[prime plinth]

Neco is not worth it if not 90 mins

Them wanting a fb is a concern

[marsh palm]

I think Maresca might go

JP
Neto Palmer Estevao
Caicedo James
Cucu Tosin Chalobah Gusto
Sanchez

[prime plinth]

Esp when wood mgw Anderson and sels are good options

[limber pine]

JP could even be a max 60 min man

[lone thorn]

yh, just feels wrong not to have any arsenal

[prime plinth]

Jp even at 60 would be fine if he was a mid

At fwd. No

Madueke did ok for pts with lowish minutes

Fwd pts just make it even worse

[marsh palm]

Are you implying he wont be a 90 minute man even if they dont sign the Ipswich guy

Cause im pretty sure he will

[lone thorn]

if he's not getting the mins, i can pivot to any other 7.5 fwd ,it's not a problem tbh ,chels fixtures r too good

[limber pine]

I feel like every team also should have minimum and ideally two of Bruno, Wirtz and Marm

[prime plinth]

I'm saying he is for now. Not if they sign a fb

[lone thorn]

review user detected

[prime plinth]

Which they should

[prime plinth]

I actually think there's a good opportunity to avoid it

[cyan dust]

Marmoush overrated imo

I don’t think hes even nailed on

[prime plinth]

That said. I think bruno gw1-3 into wirtz 4-6 is very viable

[lone thorn]

as an fpl option yh

irl he's brazy

[limber pine]

Come back here and laugh again in GW6.

Bruno is literally the most META pick ever now..

[prime plinth]

May even do this myself

[limber pine]

Again, this is shit way of playing FPL. You should theoretically set up your team to hope to make no transfers in first 5 GWs

[marsh palm]

I really wanted Malen gw1 man but he played with the b team

[prime plinth]

I don't know about double up. Watkins vs bruno is tricky but I'd edge watkins for first 7

[prime plinth]

Stupid to chase upside pts over 7 gws. Not stupid for wc7 or 8

If you think using no transfers is the play with the added chips. Idk what to say

[limber pine]

But planning a transfer is just not ideal

[prime plinth]

You don't have to move bruno but it is a clear idea that works

Worst case you keep or move bruno elsewhere

It doesn't lock you in. Wirtz is avoidable first 3 and is a new player

So seeing 3 and having that option in 4 off of bruno is really nice

[limber pine]

If you pick a player now in GW1, you need to be confident in him for like at least 5 GWs. Can’t be an anti haaland player for example, and bring him straight in after a brace.

[marsh palm]

Didnt you have Wirtz @prime plinth

[cyan dust]

I feel like u gotta stick with Bruno if u start with him until like gw8 for the gw3 & gw7 captaincy when salah has “suboptimal” fixtures

[prime plinth]

He's been in drafts. It depends how you want to setup

[prime plinth]

No you don't

Gw4 5 and 6 are not needed

[limber pine]

West Ham owners in defense doesn’t see longer than 1 fixture

[prime plinth]

Gw 1-3 is solid. Gw1-5 is terrible. Gw7 is good

Arsenal city Chelsea is not something I want bruno for. Burnley and Fulham. Sure

At 9m

That is the only reason to have bruno. Gw3. Not in my current team

[cyan dust]

Tbf Palmer/Saka have good fixtures gw3 & 7 for captaincy

[limber pine]

Defcon machine possibly with constant threat. Fixture proof. The most consistent player you’ll find. But as always, pick the ones you believe in.

[prime plinth]

Saka only good captain fixture is gw2 till wc8

Which salah is better in anyway

[valid river]

haaland vs spurs

[supple steeple]

I've built my team for wc4 every year since 18/19

[prime plinth]

Gw6 you should be doing salah to haaland

So gw7 captain is obvious

[limber pine]

And how has that affected your ranks?

[supple steeple]

just fine

[prime plinth]

Salah palace away and Chelsea. Haaland Burnley and Brentford. Don't book it in. Keep it in mind and have a plan for the chance of it

[lone thorn]

do u stack ur fts aswell or generally use em, before the wc4?

[slim bane]

9M dm

[prime plinth]

I like wc8. I like haaland gw6. If I could go no salah bb and fh4. I would. Unfortunately it is really tough

[slim bane]

Reminds me of Kane in his dm era

[limber pine]

Unlimited transfer now just to get unlimited free transfers 3 GWs later, I don’t see the logic. You do you 🤷‍♂️

[supple steeple]

last year I had 4 FTs before I used any, and I got lucky and got to save my WC for later

[prime plinth]

Like realistically you only have to captain salah gw1 and 5

If you fh4

[limber pine]

🤣 - I’m not falling into dumb ragebaits mr

[lone thorn]

where will Bruno play, genuinely asking?

if not deeper

[cyan dust]

fh6 for halaand captaincy and then salah to Saka in gw7 + keep Palmer for good captaincy gw7-12

[limber pine]

Obviously there. But if you think he will get 0 G/A coz of that. You just lack ball knowledge. And that’s fine.

[prime plinth]

He's not worth it at all but Burnley at home might be enough for the first 3

[cyan dust]

if ur wc13*

[lone thorn]

no one's saying he'll get 0 g/a

[slim bane]

Saka is 1M more tho

[prime plinth]

Maybe pens and defcon occasionally is enough for Bruno idk

[limber pine]

Yall acting like it.

[slim bane]

No

[lone thorn]

his g/a output will significantly decrease tho

[slim bane]

I have no space for Bruno in my team

[limber pine]

Just don’t own Bruno it doesn’t bother me. And own 4 nailed outfield players bar defense and see how your season goes.

[valid river]

Anyways

[prime plinth]

I think saka or bruno is fine. I'm just hating cause bruno is just so uninspiring

[valid river]

are all our teams locked in?

[slim bane]

6 smh

[limber pine]

I don’t know if you’re real or not

[slim bane]

You just need 10 starters

[prime plinth]

Bruno is a zero upside pick if you keep beyond gw3

[limber pine]

Reijnders and JP is questionable

[slim bane]

4 defs and 6 attackers add up to 10

Well that’s his team

[prime plinth]

If you seriously think arsenal city and Chelsea first 5 is what you want for a 9m player. Good for you

[slim bane]

Why lock in when you can just copy #fplcord_utd

[valid river]

TRUE

ur so good

[limber pine]

.. should I cry or laugh - I never know what I should when I’m speaking with you man

[valid river]

im going 5atb, double everton, tripl forest

[prime plinth]

You are a utd fan. You can't remove bias

[limber pine]

There ain’t bias, data backs it up.

[prime plinth]

He is xgi merchant when in the role. He isn't in that same role

[limber pine]

Just watch 6 weeks in.

[prime plinth]

His xgi drops and the defcon added doesn't make up for it at dm

[supple steeple]

ah, I got to delete a message from @slim bane

feelsgood

[slim bane]

wtf

Fuck off

I was wondering where my team went

😭

[supple steeple]

LMAO

[prime plinth]

Just fact that if you pick a player with those fixtures. There's no upside

[cyan dust]

ur fhing gw4 ?

[supple steeple]

ok sorry, I will let it flow

[limber pine]

Ok, he’s not a threat at all anymore coz he plays in the same role as he did the whole last part of the season last year!

[prime plinth]

He had .36 xgi in those games mate. He's 9m

[slim bane]

Sjaarti forgor this is not #fpl_chat

[supple steeple]

yes

its late

my bad

[prime plinth]

In dm he is .36 xgi. At am it is .48

[slim bane]

[supple steeple]

I SAID SORRY

hug it out?

[limber pine]

If you think he’s a bad option, don’t pick him please. I hope you don’t get any points, so please don’t pick him.

[prime plinth]

He's not a value pick

[supple steeple]

@limber pine whats your ID?

[prime plinth]

That is all

Gw1-3. I don't hate it

[lone thorn]

not to mention he ain't the main man anymore, the g/a will be way more spread out now with Boomo, Cunha ,Sesko

[prime plinth]

I started with bruno last season

[twin ice]

what's the argument?

[prime plinth]

Not just a hater. Just not a good pick with those fixtures

[slim bane]

There’s an argument for his assist output increasing tho

[prime plinth]

Relying on bruno to get an attacking return vs 3 of the top 4

[supple steeple]

thats not an ID

[slim bane]

ID not rank history

No one cares about rank history

[limber pine]

What else you need my ID for than that?

[prime plinth]

I'm not a bruno believer

[slim bane]

monitor ur team

[supple steeple]

this is your third season?

[prime plinth]

Especially post gw3

[supple steeple]

and that, yes

[twin ice]

good, he's shit

[slim bane]

This server is a bunch of stalkers I swear

[lone thorn]

yh there is ofc, from deeper than his usual role tho? not feeling it

[slim bane]

People know more about my team than I do

[supple steeple]

I only stalk you and a select few others @slim bane

[prime plinth]

I've gotten top 21 in ucl before. My opinion is valid

[slim bane]

Glad to be on that list

[supple steeple]

used to be amol, but he's pretty much quit

[limber pine]

Why do you need it?

[slim bane]

You can chart which week I’ve quit in the past 5 seasons

[supple steeple]

@limber pine this

[prime plinth]

My second chance rank was top 10k. Last 13 gws was top 1k

[prime plinth]

Don't ask actual rank

[limber pine]

And that means?

[supple steeple]

to stalk you ofc

[slim bane]

he just wants to track how your team is doing lmao

[supple steeple]

ye

you can DM me if you dont want it public

[prime plinth]

Gyokeres for 2 gws into solanke or isak. Or Bruno into wirtz gw4

Who we believe in

[supple steeple]

I swear I wont share it

[limber pine]

I’ll send it later

[prime plinth]

Gyokeres vs which strikers gw1-2 is also another issue

[supple steeple]

shag can unmod and ban me if I do

[limber pine]

Cba finding it

[supple steeple]

alr

mine is 12961

[prime plinth]

Striker position is so cooked

17525

I didn't cookie clicker this time

[proud gale]

any city fans with thoughts on rejinders?

[slim bane]

I shall not launch into an exposition on what happened that fateful day

[limber pine]

No one real exists

[slim bane]

heartwrenching

[prime plinth]

I am not city fan. Reijnders good. Minutes weird

[proud gale]

rodri out till IB

[prime plinth]

At 5.5m. He's fine

Reijnders risk is just minutes

He should return at least a goal in 3 so idk. Seems fine

[limber pine]

It’s a Rodri profile as the 6, Silva or something as the 8, then Reijnders as the 10. But Reijnders can play in all the positions according to pep

[prime plinth]

The positives are that he has been good as a box crasher so far

[marsh palm]

Reijnders is probably nailed to start

Rodri out will force him to play deeper tho I think

[limber pine]

Nah man, no one is nailed to start bar Haaland

[prime plinth]

My issue with him will be minutes and inconsistent xgi

[marsh palm]

Would be shocked if Reijnders doesnt play especially with Rodri out

[limber pine]

They still have Kovacic and Nico which plays deep

[prime plinth]

I think he'll be like Bernardo and gundo of the past

[limber pine]

O’Riley aswell

[lone thorn]

Reijn is clear of them

[twin ice]

Wirtz to Reinjders would be very useful

[marsh palm]

Kovacic will not start

[prime plinth]

Good in stretches. Frustrating at the same time

[marsh palm]

I can see Nico playing with Reijnders

I also think Ait Nouri and Marmoush r locks

[lone thorn]

Pep roulette tho i get it

[prime plinth]

I think ait nouri is a good pick. Just don't like cs chances vs Tottenham and Brighton

[proud gale]

probably best not to bother

reijnders just looks good value at 5.5 tho

[limber pine]

Reijn is honestly a fucking bargain as you’re 7th or 8th midfielder. But having him as you’re 5/6th could be a problem. Elliot Anderson is a bigger must own tho.

[slim bane]

who

[proud gale]

[prime plinth]

Ait nouri will be a earlier sub in most games i assume. Chance he also doesn't play for more defensive stability in transition some games

[slim bane]

Earlier sub is better for city def

[marsh palm]

I love Anderson but I think to get out of triple Forest id FH4

[slim bane]

Bank the CS before they mindlessly lose it

[twin ice]

Reijnders ever being an 8th attacker is such a wastage of funds

[marsh palm]

Forest and Palace shaky

Everton too iirc

[prime plinth]

I think gvardiol is a terrible pick outside of maybe cs

[marsh palm]

Whole backline gets hit

[prime plinth]

I think vvd and gab are much better picks to gvardiol

[slim bane]

Your keeper is yellow flagged what does that mean

[lone thorn]

i hear that, i had Reijn since first draft tho and after his brace i'ma risk it with him

[limber pine]

Yh obviously u should have a 4.5 at striker or midfield.

[marsh palm]

I think he's gonna play

[slim bane]

Duh

[slim bane]

Good luck

[marsh palm]

Shit Ill go Verbruggen if I have to

[limber pine]

You on FH4?

[prime plinth]

Which ones you got

[marsh palm]

Probably

FH4 WC7 or 13

BB2

[limber pine]

Alright man, look at wolves fixtures. Jose Sá trust.

[lone thorn]

damn i might actually have to do Gabi -> Murillo

[prime plinth]

Vvd looks like the pick of the lot fixtures aside. I have murillo and milenkovic Gab could be though if arsenal can separate from the pack for cs

[proud gale]

thats my current team, i feel like rogers -> reijnders makes sense if hes out but aside from neco -> milenk i dont even see where that 1m gets used icl

[proud gale]

i like vvd but i like gakpo and wirtz more ngl

[marsh palm]

If Rogers is healthy this is pretty close to my team

[prime plinth]

Wouldn't be surprised if I go vvd. Kind of unsure on tark

[marsh palm]

Certainly not for GW1
