[broken patio]

Hold on tim

[cerulean cape]

Not sure what else you want me to do with the money

[hallow anchor]

Gakpo might get in the bin, I don't really like him it was just fear of no salah

[broken patio]

Do you mean this?

[hallow anchor]

Something like that yeah

[limber pine]

Spread funds / have more different teams in defense

[latent depot]

No Brighton

[broken patio]

No Brighton, double palace, may even go triple

I hate myself

[latent depot]

Might as well change the flair

[hallow anchor]

I want to do an early bench boost so I'd have a decent bench

[latent depot]

I'm BB2 on 0 bench spend

[hallow anchor]

I will make a team later this week when on the clock

[latent depot]

Burnley LB has a cool name

[hallow anchor]

Might as well do week 1 then?

[latent depot]

Why? Burnley GW2 much better

[cedar hull]

♥️ 👨

[cerulean cape]

Ok no salah it is

[latent depot]

If Burnley keep a clean sheet GW2 I'm flairing up

[broken patio]

Sunderland goal will hit like crack

[cerulean cape]

Same

[orchid plank]

Savio to spurs links by fab lol

[hallow anchor]

The defenders probably get defcon points Vs spurs though

[latent depot]

BB2 WC8

[hallow anchor]

Lucky clean there could be worth like 12 points

[cerulean cape]

Think trafford would have gotten like 21 points last year vs Sunderland. Saved 2 pens and cs

[broken patio]

In their 2 meetings last season, one was 0-0, one was a Sunderland 1-0 win

[hallow anchor]

Spurs still figuring stuff out and Burnley will be up for it first game

[broken patio]

2 pens???

Lmao

[cerulean cape]

From isidor

[broken patio]

So in the 0-0 they only cleaned BC of 2 pen saves

[cerulean cape]

Watched the pens

Fucking hilarious technique

[broken patio]

So no cleans last season for Burnley Vs Sunderland then

I'll have a look

[cedar hull]

didnt isidor miss a pen in their friendly yesterday

[cerulean cape]

Mayenda

[cedar hull]

oh right

ayo savinho to spurs?

[lone thorn]

Kudus owners

[cedar hull]

nah its fine for him tbf

rather than signing a 10 to replace madders

sign a winger and move kudus to 10

[valid river]

Hey classiic

[lone thorn]

true

[valid river]

Kelleher news? 😁

[cedar hull]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[lone thorn]

Kudus cooks at 10, that was where he played at ajax

[broken patio]

Good for Marmoush surely

Somehow

[cedar hull]

might just get wirtz to tick over and call it a day

isak/attacker signing just kills ekitike/gakpo

[broken patio]

It will save you a lot of stress

Can always sell him

[cedar hull]

they have way too many players rn

[broken patio]

Yep

Can't bring myself to get Marmoush until I know if he actually plays consistently

[valid river]

Bruno 🤤

[broken patio]

I prefer Bruno to Watkins

For the same price

[valid river]

Both

[cedar hull]

ugh theres no way i get bruno

but he could easily just get 10 pointers from 1 assist

[broken patio]

Yep

The thing is you really don't have to get him bc the opening fix suck

But he's gonna be a good option this season

[cedar hull]

yeah this season for sure

gw1 is so eh

feel like a review slut

[latent depot]

I don't think I'll own him first half of the season. Arsenal/Chelsea have such good fix until GW19-20 I won't have budget for Bruno

[broken patio]

Few back to back 15 pointers might change your mind on that

[cedar hull]

lol salah has gone 16 finals without a non pen goal now

[latent depot]

The scoring system has changed so much, I don't think 200 point seasons are what they used to be

If 170 is possible across your entire back line, I don't think set and forget a 9.0 is the answer for 200

[broken patio]

Crazy point and feel free to call me an idiot, but what if Bruno is better than palmer? O_o

[broken patio]

Yeah great point

[latent depot]

Palmer hit 226 despite disappearing for half the season

[valid river]

Thinking of going 5atb and dropping out of a forward

[cedar hull]

if he played the 10 then yeah

but hard to see as an 8

especially with spread goalshare imo

[broken patio]

I hate myself

[valid river]

I could see Chris wood getting 20 goals again ngl

25 with conference I reckon

[limber pine]

Bro forgot to look at the fixtures when he made the team

[cedar hull]

i love ekitike but isak news is ramping up

[broken patio]

Mhmm

He can be Watkins quite easily

Or gyok

[valid river]

Do we like Pedro Porro

[limber pine]

That should not interrupt you’re decision in getting him icl, Ekitike starts LW over Gakpo aswell

[broken patio]

Yes

[broken patio]

Nah

[valid river]

Are you sure

[broken patio]

I don't get where this Ekitike LW agenda has come from

[limber pine]

It’s gonna happen mate

[broken patio]

Guys played on the left 3 times in his career and everyone preaching that he's this super flexible forward now

[limber pine]

He litteraly has all the qualities to play there?

And gakpo was awful today

[cedar hull]

he does have all the qualities

[humble bane]

this is the correct way to play the game

[valid river]

Drop Milenkovic, get Porro and Anderson

[cedar hull]

but any attacker added to pool rn lowers gakpo and ekitike mins regardless of position

[limber pine]

In the LFC system it makes sense for him to play there

[valid river]

Who's Burnleys striker

[lone thorn]

Broja

[limber pine]

Lyle

[valid river]

Might get him for bb2

[lone thorn]

yh ur cooked

[humble bane]

Robertson ST then

[valid river]

BB is so hard because there's no good cheap forwards

[cedar hull]

wouldnt think about bb for a while due to that fact

[latent depot]

I think if you're not BB2 3x Burnley defence, prob shouldn't be doing it at all

[valid river]

Or just have 3 forwards

[broken patio]

Gakpo+Pedro
Vs
Ekitike+sarr

2 right?

[latent depot]

1 for me

[limber pine]

What’s your strategy? None of them makes sense icl

[valid river]

4-3-3 no Salah is basically 4-4-2. But what if I went 5-2-3 no Salah

[cedar hull]

2 for me

[valid river]

Palmer Bruno midfield

[cedar hull]

not as high on gakpo as others

[humble bane]

😦

[lone thorn]

1

[broken patio]

You know it's a good question when 200k messages gang are split

[humble bane]

lowk 1

[cyan dust]

2

[broken patio]

Orrrrrrr

Sarr and Bruno

(find .5 somewhere)

[latent depot]

2 is peak xGI merchants

[broken patio]

I am a slut for xg

[valid river]

Thoughts

[latent depot]

Wow

[valid river]

OR: 5M here we go

Is that a good wow

[latent depot]

Maybe just leave BB until later. You're sacrificing a lot to force it

[valid river]

Ok I'll make a non bench boost version brb

[broken patio]

Oh yeah

Now we're cooking with gas

[lone thorn]

very similar to mine tbf, i have Watkins tho

[latent depot]

BB8 should be looked at if you're WC7

Don't need to force BB1-2

[broken patio]

Bruno could be Watkins here if you like

Holy 523

[valid river]

It's good right

[humble bane]

looks correct to me

[lone thorn]

what about afcon bb?

[latent depot]

Replace Ramsey with Potts and might low-key be a better BB2

[broken patio]

Rutter scores 4 goals gw1, what do you do?

[valid river]

Goon it

[valid river]

Ok I'm down

Does King play

Or potts

[broken patio]

Maybe

[latent depot]

Potts will start, King might, but prob won't

[broken patio]

I thought Potts was just short for Graham potter at first

[latent depot]

King is young and very hyped

Doubt he starts straight away, but might win that spot during the season

[valid river]

Can get a 5.0 and then 7.5

W

FH 4 still

I don't see any problems here

I guess maybe JP

[latent depot]

Still need Potts over Ramsey

Ramsey won't play

[valid river]

Adam Wharton over xhaka

[lone thorn]

Mateta > JP apparently

[valid river]

Why

This is elite

[lone thorn]

nailed 90' + pens

[valid river]

But the structure

Branthwaite > Ndiaye is the only change really

[cedar hull]

eh, how shit is this

nothing seems good rn icl

[valid river]

Check fixtures buddy

[supple steeple]

why do you have my team

[cedar hull]

check your formation first mate

[valid river]

It's peak

[lone thorn]

not shit at all, prefer Gakpo to Wirtz and can do a few cheeky upgrades but ik ur not big on him

[valid river]

W

[cedar hull]

im not big on wirtz either, but salah = 0 pool attackers, wirtz for the xmins really

[broken patio]

Oh hey we're the same

[cedar hull]

no idea if its isak, but pool are guaranteed to get an attacker, decreases gakpos mins the most

[broken patio]

I've got Bruno over Watkins rn but that may be wrong

Other than it's the same

[cedar hull]

at least get the symmetry right

[broken patio]

Except sels porro Neco Vs petro milenkovic Murillo

[cedar hull]

also milenkovic to neco/munoz to lacroix and esteve to andersen is likely to cover gw1/4/5

would you play andersen over lacroix/munoz gw1

chelsea hard to farm cbit against

seems like a higher floor for andersen but lower ceiling

[broken patio]

No way am I benching Munoz gw1

Vs a Chelsea with no preseason

[cedar hull]

i wanna back the 2 guys ive been shilling since the start tbh, mateta and petro

yeah figured

but if i got lacroix would you play andersen over

[lone thorn]

Gakpo had way decreased mins last szn behind Diaz + Jota and still cooked

[valid river]

Am I trolling with this 523?

[broken patio]

Maybe

[cedar hull]

or i go neco and play munoz

and just have andersen for 4/5

[broken patio]

Obvs some bias but I don't think a Fulham clean is super likely gw1

[cedar hull]

true but think you need at least xmins with average fix

[broken patio]

Id be interested to see bookies cs odds gw1

[cedar hull]

pretty much guaranteed cbit against brighton tho

[broken patio]

True

[lone thorn]

i rate it tbf, is Bruno ownership lower than Watkins?

[cedar hull]

andersen vs munoz/lacroix is floor vs ceiling

[barren geyser]

yeah

by like 3% ish

[cedar hull]

3% in it

oh im so late

sorry acro

[hollow ermine]

About to hop on solio for some minutes before bed despite knowing nothing about how to do anything

[barren geyser]

its okay classic

[cedar hull]

i quite prefer milenkovic over neco but andersen gw4/5 cover is so good, especially with double forest def

[hollow ermine]

What's consensus on milenkovic vs murrilo

[cedar hull]

murillo clears

murillo has like the highest floor of all defenders

[hollow ermine]

I know murillo better for cbit but one milenkovic goal pretty much carries

[cedar hull]

double digits 5 times last season

[hollow ermine]

Milenkovic has a solid hit rate when conceding plus good attack threat

[barren geyser]

52.8% hit rate for dc points for murillo

[cedar hull]

murillo farms bonus, cbit, decent for cleans, if he had gabriels goal threat omds

[barren geyser]

i like them odds

[valid river]

I'm going to say some stupid comments and can someone tell me if they're right or not

[barren geyser]

milenkovic is around 35%

[valid river]

Branthwaite > Ndiaye

[cedar hull]

yeah but forest clean = murillo 11 pointer

overstated but yeah

having one for me is murillo just for that insane floor

milenkovic is great though

[supple steeple]

its pretty close tbh, Ndiaye would have had 150 points last season if he was a mid

[cedar hull]

prefer him to neco easily but easy downgrade for that 0.5

[supple steeple]

and I believe he will get more this season

[cedar hull]

i dont trust anyone that doesnt have murillo in their defence rn

[valid river]

Did you see my team bro

[cedar hull]

i ignored it on purpose

[valid river]

It's fire, take notes

[hollow ermine]

Saliba vs Gabriel all over again

I'm tired boss

[cedar hull]

checked it out, hate it

[valid river]

What's wrong with it

[cedar hull]

whats right with it

[broken patio]

[valid river]

5 atb

[cedar hull]

id genuinely go murillo and 4.5 keeper over sels and neco

thats just how much i rate murillo

[broken patio]

Interesting

[barren geyser]

murillo will be in my team for the entire year

[valid river]

Get Murillo and Neco

[cedar hull]

@broken patio i just got my 3rd promotion in a row in fm to the championship, me and brighton were tryna sign this youngster on a free and he chose fucking livingston

i hate this game

[limber pine]

Starship are meant to flyyyyy

Hands up and touch the skyyyyy

[barren geyser]

hands up and touch the sky

oh im late ffs

[broken patio]

Can't stop, cause we're so hiighhhh

[barren geyser]

lets do this one more time

[broken patio]

Ba do do doooo

[barren geyser]

starships are meant to flyyy

[cedar hull]

day 5 no rogers

okay im at peace with this for now

[barren geyser]

looks really good

i think i sent it earlier but heres mine, might be final

[cedar hull]

oh damn salah and haaland

and watkins

dont like sanchez

[barren geyser]

yeah i decided if i cant choose between some just have them all

[cedar hull]

other than that its not bad

[valid river]

Logically which one?

Ndiaye + Esteve
Branthwaite + Wharton

This is if you don't think about it making my formation a 5-2-3

[cedar hull]

oh wait no palmer

ah

[limber pine]

Too weak bench

And no palmer

[barren geyser]

im fine with that

[barren geyser]

yeah if he does good its not hard to get him in again

[cedar hull]

sarr + esteve

[violet temple]

Ndiaye ❌
Ndoye ✅

[lone thorn]

how comes Vlad over Dubrav?

[cedar hull]

purely gw1 cover

then petro 2-6

assuming kelleher not fit

if kelleher fit i think i firm petro

would be darlow but perri back

[lone thorn]

would u go Darlow

haha

yh

[cedar hull]

no other 4.0s with a chance

dubravka could haul but such low cs odds

no idea what to think of spurs rn

[lone thorn]

i'm in the same dilemma for 4.5 + 4

[cedar hull]

idm kelleher if fit

[lone thorn]

rn on Areola for gw1, Dubrav gw2 but then it goes to shit

[cedar hull]

no chance for 5.5 keeper?

[lone thorn]

there is, i'd have to sacrifice a def

[barren geyser]

forgot 5.5m gks exist

[cedar hull]

just pickford since branthwaite back

but at 4.5 is tough

but shilled petrovic since he joined bournemouth

they just got diakite

cover gw1 if possible and its good imo

[lone thorn]

would u sacrifice Gabi for him?

[cedar hull]

gabi to 5.5 yeah, 5.0 no

need to see the team to decide tbh

[valid river]

I see people going mcniel over Ndiaye

There are really no good 6.5s

[zenith jolt]

hello guys anyone on jewsbury hall

[lone thorn]

1sec

[cedar hull]

no thanks

[valid river]

Yes plz

[cedar hull]

potts/king good enough for 4.5 tbh

[acoustic edge]

bro forgot the server he’s in fairs

[cedar hull]

kdh fine for bb

[valid river]

Yes

[cedar hull]

hes been awol

[zenith jolt]

is he an anal pic idek

i havent even looked

[acoustic edge]

mf spelling

[zenith jolt]

i just like him

[acoustic edge]

nah idk

i swr he’s meant to be good though

5.0 and on set pieces

grealish p fucks him tho

[valid river]

Probably shouldn't over think Ndiaye right?

[acoustic edge]

adingra cleRs

[zenith jolt]

grealish spamming fouls, dewsbury hall knocks it into tark, goal

rinse and repeat

[cedar hull]

🔥

[zenith jolt]

Yes i know what that means

[cedar hull]

tarkowski 10 goals from 21 xg lol

munoz on the bench is kinda pointless no

gab to andersen, areola to pickford

or downgrade munoz and go gab to munoz gw4 or smth

[lone thorn]

Gab -> Tark, Areola -> Sels?🤔

[cedar hull]

idky you have a 5.5 riding bench tbh

[lone thorn]

i'd put Reijn on bench

[broken patio]

How the fuck is this team affordable

That looks actually really good

Oh no Palmer I seeeee

I blind

[cedar hull]

yeah i did the exact same

looks great til no palmer

[barren geyser]

just the best draft maker in the world

[barren geyser]

ill take the risk and go without him for now, might backfire might not backfire

[cedar hull]

if youre happy with that risk thats fine

[barren geyser]

very happy

[cedar hull]

is potts first choice rn

idk if him or chase king upside

[barren geyser]

pretty sure he started the last 3 matches in the pre-season

70 mins against bournemouth
45 against everton

[cedar hull]

hm thanks

potts vs king is a mid off anyway

[barren geyser]

potts also got booked in all three matches

fyi

[cedar hull]

oh

king it is

[lone thorn]

solved it, i'm running 532

[elder cargo]

Not sure what to make of Saka

Arsenal GW2 is appealing doe

[lone thorn]

he's not a 90' man anymore + if on pens still a doubt ,if that sways anything

[elder cargo]

yeah

could go gyok but a lot of tough early fixs for them

[zenith jolt]

like my current draft ngl

[elder cargo]

might be easy enough to avoid

[zenith jolt]

bit rude mate

[prime plinth]

At least salah was only bad for preseason...

[supple steeple]

third time I see you post that today

I think

[prime plinth]

It is only the 2nd

[supple steeple]

nvm only two

yeah

[prime plinth]

Someone said it is only preseason

[supple steeple]

like I said

1: they were already on vacation
2: Salah was going for the assist record

[prime plinth]

He got 1 assist in 10 games

[supple steeple]

yes

he didnt do a good job at it

but it was easy to see

he was trying too hard

[prime plinth]

Salah was bad vs palace and the new players probably means he gets less of the chances he did last season

[supple steeple]

passing when he otherwise would have taken a shot

[prime plinth]

344 pts even for salah is an outlier

[twin ice]

Liverpool were on the beach tbf, Chelsea didn't have an excuse as to why Warm Palmer stunk up the place

[prime plinth]

Seems more narrative based than true

[twin ice]

not betting against Salah GW1

[prime plinth]

He was still playing selfish

[prime plinth]

Fair

[cedar hull]

Maresca tried to make It an 11 man team rather than just the cole Palmer show and it backfired lol

[valid river]

I'm thinking of doing Reijnders to Wharton and kelleher to sanchez

[prime plinth]

I mean finished top 4 still ig

[valid river]

I only need someone for bb2 and gw5

[twin ice]

wonder if he'll bench JP because he wants other players to shine

[valid river]

Having 1.5 mil on bench isn't too much right

[cedar hull]

I think maresca understands the mistake though, obviously Palmer didn't play well either but he wasn't maximised like he was first half

[valid river]

1 on reijnders (playing 3/6gws) nd 0.5 on KDH

[prime plinth]

Tbf he wasn't even maximised at points first half

Was playing deep gw1

[cedar hull]

Yeah true that

Looked back to normal in cwc

Palmer operating in his best zone fs

[twin ice]

man I need Wirtz but this sucks

[slim bane]

Non-Salah draft

[proud gale]

if they sign another attacker ekitike to bowen maybe or rogers if fit. or munoz -> lacroix and then ill get gyok

still pondering anderson -> reijnders

[lone thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/dumping-trash-daniel-labelle-frustrated-garbage-trash-gif-27186872

[novel harbor]

im surprised more people arent just knee jerking to mateta

[earnest torrent]

Thoughts on this draft?

[valid river]

For the first time in a while, my team hasn't changed for 4 days

[earnest torrent]

Should I downgrade Beto to Kroupi Jr then upgrade Welbeck to Mateta?

[silent jasper]

yeah I would

[silent jasper]

I might downgrade Sels to Petro or other 4.5 and upgrade Van de ven to Neco probably? If I were you.

not sure about vdv cbit but I think Neco is decent too

[earnest torrent]

Actually Sels to Petro for that extra 1m is also another valid way

For Mateta

Wait no nvm i cant

[silent jasper]

Sels is 5.0 and Petro is 4.5, not really extra 1m though
Idk if you would run 442 because KDH might be a good fodder option at 5M

[earnest torrent]

[silent jasper]

Guiu might not be starting for Sunderland in GW1 or so
He wasn't in both Sunderland squad for friendly yesterday
For those who are on BB1/2 just take note

[valid river]

Any risk going kelleher + dubravka??

[latent depot]

Neither started their respective final preseason games tbf

[valid river]

But like surelyyy not

[twin ice]

just go Valdimarsson instead of Dubravka, why pain yourself with GK rotation

[valid river]

Nuh uh

Bb2

[slim bane]

just go vald Dubravka

might I end up with no keepers

[valid river]

Great plan

[latent depot]

Quilindschy Hartman warra name

Bro is in my BB2

[slim bane]

@latent depot how’s this nomium draft

[acoustic edge]

but why

[slim bane]

just part of the tinkering process innit

[acoustic edge]

fairs

i’ve made one too

[latent depot]

It's fine, I was looking at almost the same team with Milenkovic/Kelleher/Watkins instead

[acoustic edge]

salah / anderson / JSL vs saka / gakpo / gyok

[latent depot]

I've landed on this tho BB2 WC8

[slim bane]

Salah C on a good day might swing it

[acoustic edge]

ur fr going nomium after allat?

[slim bane]

or an Arsenal blank

[acoustic edge]

exactly

salah projections are nuts

[slim bane]

Idk might just copy fplcord

[acoustic edge]

put the analcord draft in the bag

[latent depot]

Yeah I think so. Not trying to finishing top 50k or something, Salah prob on my WC8 anyway

Reason being can't pick any other Pool attacker with UCL games on

[acoustic edge]

what r u doing gw4 and 5

don’t quit in gw3 again 😭😭

[latent depot]

Saka to Rogers GW3

Funds double Palace defence GW4

[acoustic edge]

so no salah cap gw4

[latent depot]

Mateta prob. I'm comfortable with triple Pool attack

If Kelleher is confirmed fit, prob start with Lacroix on the bench. That saves a FT and moves my plan to WC7

[acoustic edge]

fairs back urself

[waxen river]

Any changes in the thread meta as of recently?

[latent depot]

Palace and Ekitike

[novel harbor]

nomium is suicide imo ngl

purely becuz of the captaincy crisis you'll have

but if you've planned for it well

[acoustic edge]

mateta up

[novel harbor]

can see it being decent

[waxen river]

Mateta over gakpo?

[novel harbor]

im leaning on going back to 4-4-2

[waxen river]

Probably a yes

[latent depot]

Palmer/Saka/Palmer/Mateta/Watkins/Palmer/Watkins

[marsh palm]

@broken patio Im hearing clouds about Welbeck not starting and it being O'Riley and Rutter

[novel harbor]

ye i find issue with this

[waxen river]

Mateta + Pickford or Wirtz + petrovic

[novel harbor]

saka watkins and mateta specifically are just not high ceiling captaincy options

overtime ppl with salah and haaland are just most likely gonna outscore

[acoustic edge]

unnecessary EV bleed imo

picks like anderson and JSL do enough to match equivalents

[novel harbor]

yup

[acoustic edge]

is salah / anderson / JSL feels comfortably better than saka / gakpo / gyok

[novel harbor]

ekitike + king vs marmoush/wirtz + fodder forward is my dilemma rn

[marsh palm]

Gg no re

[acoustic edge]

even if ur unbelievably bullish on mins

[novel harbor]

btw this is 0.5 itb

[marsh palm]

Marmoush/Wirtz + fodder

[novel harbor]

so gyokeres/watkins defo an option

[novel harbor]

what if its watkins + king vs marmoush/wirtz + fodder forward

[marsh palm]

@novel harbor I start Andersen here right

Over Larsen

[latent depot]

Pretty set on my decision tbh, we'll see how it goes. Fully expect 250 points from Salah, but those attacking returns will be much more spread across Liverpool front 4

[novel harbor]

nah id say start jsl

[marsh palm]

Whats Kings ownership

[novel harbor]

id back jsl to score against city over andersen to keep cs against brighton away from home

[latent depot]

Not at all concerned about Haaland's points

[marsh palm]

Oh 0.5%

[novel harbor]

ye this is very true

[acoustic edge]

template 🔥🔥🔥

[marsh palm]

I think Watkins and fodder

[latent depot]

Salah at 6.5ppm doesn't justify his price, but that's a 250 season

[novel harbor]

like everything but van de ven

[marsh palm]

I like my Haaland setups more then my Salah setups but man its Salah

[acoustic edge]

same but rotation

[novel harbor]

since the day he was glazed in here i havent gotten the hype

[acoustic edge]

if i could find .5 for romero id cop but

[latent depot]

Spurs seem like a hard avoid

[novel harbor]

i agree except porro my goat

[marsh palm]

Whats in it with Sanchez now that Colwill's out

[acoustic edge]

like worst worst case with VDV i just play andersen

[novel harbor]

i think hes honestly the only viable keeper rn

keepers are so shambles

[acoustic edge]

raya right there and ur saying ts cba

[novel harbor]

ye but raya is 5.5 milllllllll

thats so spenny

for a keeper

[marsh palm]

He's a good shot stopper but I dont expect Chelsea to keep a cs vs Palace

[novel harbor]

i dont think they will either

[acoustic edge]

worth if ur holding until 13

[novel harbor]

but im more thinking of sanchez as a set and forget until wc7

where i will be getting raya in

[marsh palm]

Eze is a good shout he had a goal last year at Stamford and then an assist at Selhurst

[acoustic edge]

sanchez feels viable enough until 7 i def agree

[marsh palm]

If only Arsenal wasnt looming

[acoustic edge]

but also locking yourself in hurts

[novel harbor]

truth be told i admire everyone who goes for 4.5 goalkeepers becuz the truth is that they rly do barely matter

[acoustic edge]

i can see 3 arsenal cs here (projected 2.2)

[novel harbor]

but i can never force myself to conform to the idea

[novel harbor]

ye i can also see 3 tbf

[marsh palm]

Im scared of Guiu not getting PT

Might be a value drop

Same with Dubravka

[valid river]

[novel harbor]

no shot ur on 5-2-3 now

show

[valid river]

I'm not but I might be

Bb2

Low-key I like it more

[acoustic edge]

so haram fairs

[novel harbor]

@latent depot 's propaganda machine running

nice

[valid river]

Bro it's good

[latent depot]

What he was on that before me

[novel harbor]

oh fairs

[valid river]

[latent depot]

I was no Salah only from yesterday

[valid river]

I've been on no salah for the whole time

[latent depot]

I've never been Haaland

[valid river]

Who do everyone have on 4?

Chelsea?

[latent depot]

No Salah makes BB2 obvious tbh

[valid river]

And fh4

[novel harbor]

ye thats true

[valid river]

I'm 0 pool

0 Palace

[acoustic edge]

wym 4

[valid river]

Except Adam

Gw4

Chelsea?

[acoustic edge]

cap salah vc mateta roll

[valid river]

Everton has villa

More FH value

I'm also getting fear mongered into Joao pedro

Someone tell me I'm an idiot plz

[acoustic edge]

warra 60xmins asset on no pens who could be POO

[valid river]

Thanks goat

I would go 5atb but Ndiaye>branthwaite sadly

[twin ice]

atrocity man

[valid river]

What

[novel harbor]

does wirtz outscore watkins for the first 13 gameweeks?

[valid river]

Why you don't like winning?

[novel harbor]

does marmoush

[twin ice]

I guess picking players who score goals is out of fashion

[novel harbor]

volatility out consistency in 🔥

[lavish parcel]

Has anyone gone for Bruno over Watkins? I need some Intel

Watkins has fix tho

Bruno short term pick?

[latent depot]

More smoke for Eze to Arsenal, seeing stuff about financials agreed between the clubs

[waxen river]

Mateta

[earnest torrent]

and the source is?

[waxen river]

Anyway Pickford + gakpo or petrovic + Wirtz

[lavish parcel]

Pickford Gakpo, you won't regret it

[novel harbor]

no becuz bruno outscores watkins this season

i'd only consider watkins over marmoush/wirtz

i think

[lavish parcel]

I love the cbit potential from Bruno but the fact that he is going to need a lot of set pieces to get his attacking returns is what keeping Watkins in my team

[novel harbor]

i mean fair enough

i have no doubt in my mind that bruno will clear watkins points probs by 15-20 myb more

and i think he has a higher ceiling

so its a no brainer for me

i also dont think watkins is as fixture proof as bruno tbh

[lavish parcel]

I think it'll be close but for the first 12 I think I might have to back Watkins

Bruno's cbit will be easier in tough fix tho

I think it's basically pick your poison

[novel harbor]

not only will his cbit be easier, he has more chance of returning

in tough fix

[lavish parcel]

Looked at some data from last season for Bruno, tough games is where he got most of his cbits

[novel harbor]

bruno is 100% on pens

watkins shares his pens with tielemans

40/60

[marsh chasm]

is it stupid to go with 2 5.5 mids

[lavish parcel]

That's one more dilemma as well

[marsh chasm]

got teijnders and anderson rn

[novel harbor]

imo yes

but i guess it depends on the actual team

[lavish parcel]

One of them needs to be reindeer

Other one can be Anderson or Caicedo

[marsh chasm]

If i was to get rid of one should it be anderson

[novel harbor]

atp its ur hunch

i defo will be going with anderson

im only picking a 5.5 mid if they have a consistent floor

i pick higher priced mid's for ceiling

i cant imagine myself going for a 5.5 midfielder as inconsistent as reijnders is likely to be

with no cbit

[lavish parcel]

Fairly certain that this will be my gw1

[slim bane]

Where’d your funds go

[novel harbor]

sacrificed mid for forwards

[lavish parcel]

Salah, Palmer, Watkins, Ekitike and 4x5.5m def

Salah + Caicedo is likely to change to Bruno + Saka

Just need Salah for gw1 and I can avoid fix clash from Saka + Bruno

Shoutout to classic for the ekitike shill

I prefer him over Wirtz and Gakpo

[marsh palm]

Your boy is set

Just GK dilemma

[marsh palm]

Did he provide data or something

[lavish parcel]

Yes and he passed the eye test

[marsh palm]

Nomium

Too fancy my friend

Never get fancy

[lavish parcel]

All good

Don't see a lot of value from the two 14m assets

I'll just have them when times are tough or they play relegated teams

I can literally captain any of the 9+ assets when I won't own Salah after gw1 so there's that

[latent depot]

Ekitike in 👀 Slot: "There is not a lot to replace him with, so if he gets an injury there would not be much to replace him with for Bournemouth, Newcastle and Arsenal so that's why I took him off but he had a good game, that's for sure."

[marsh palm]

It’s captaincy

[waxen river]

Fine and all until Liverpool sign another attacker

[marsh palm]

Anyone can believe that they can nail captaincy down

It actually happening is another thing

[lavish parcel]

So you'll be permanent captaining haaland after AFCON starts?

[valid river]

ekitike stocks rising but what abot isak

[lavish parcel]

Bro named 3 games, Isak probably deadline day deal

[marsh palm]

@novel harbor do u think having lacroix and anderson is kinda pointless considering if i have strand larsen starting here i dont see much fixtures where he doesn’t start

although i’m aware andersen covers neco and/anderson well and lacroix is a good out after what gw3/4

[marsh palm]

Wdym

I mean my team also has Palmer and Bruno

Covers just about every GW before I intend to WC13

[lavish parcel]

You just said you need 14m assest for captaincy

[marsh palm]

I don’t intend to use BB or FH until then

[marsh palm]

I mean yeah he’s going to be my captain like 80% of weeks

[lavish parcel]

So you agree that when your assets who are priced lower than 14+ will be captain now and then?

[lavish parcel]

That's basically permanent Captain

[marsh palm]

Okay then yes he will be perma captained…

It’s dependent on who Haaland is playing

[lavish parcel]

You're closing the doors to opportunities for other assets

Idk what you call fancy

But that seems like a fancy option to have a 14m assest as permanent cap

[marsh palm]

If Haaland plays Arsenal away vs Palmer playing Sunderland at home why wouldn’t I captain Palmer

[lavish parcel]

Hence, my reasoning with not owning a 14m

After gw1 until my WC*

Sorry if I didn't mention that

[marsh palm]

When do you WC

[lavish parcel]

13

[latent depot]

Eze uncertainty making me want to drop Mateta but without Mateta there aren't 3 forwards that I like, and without 3 forwards, I don't want to BB2, and if I don't BB2, I don't want double Burnley 4.0s on my bench, and if I don't want that, then I want CBIT farmers in defence, and if I want that, then I may as well go back to Salah

[lavish parcel]

Save BB for games during AFCON, use the ft and WC to get a rough plan

That's where I am at

[latent depot]

I'm either BB2 or BB8

[lavish parcel]

I had a triple Burnley draft for BB2

I hated it so much

BB8 using WC around it or just FTs?

[latent depot]

WC7

[lavish parcel]

Makes sense

Good strat that

I just didn't like the idea of BB2 when the fix are favouring mid table and low table teams

[marsh palm]

What does ur team look like rn

[lavish parcel]

Early BB usually involves early WC

So I just walked away from that

[lavish parcel]

.

[marsh palm]

What does Salah turn into

[lavish parcel]

Bruno + Saka

Salah and Caicedo

Caicedo couldve had 42 points from cbit and there were 9 games in which he missed out by 1/2 points and most of them were away games

As long as Caicedo gets cbit vs Palace which is definitely possible, I just need Salah to score 8/10 points which is also not that hard

And that helps me avoid Saka + Bruno fix clash in gw1

So it's a win win everywhere

Wait this is not caicedo

I classify this as consistent (along with YC ofc)

Could also go with reindeer but pep roulette

[marsh palm]

Hes pretty nailed for now

[novel harbor]

what were you considering replacing them with

[marsh palm]

not sure

[lavish parcel]

Wait and watch type of asset for me

[marsh palm]

Fair

[humble bane]

Is Porro even a serious player

[novel harbor]

well i cant think of who to replace with atm

[marsh palm]

I’m just saying ur reasoning should be that instead of his mins risk

Hes probably gonna play deeper but with Rodri Kovacic and Foden unlikely to play he’s nailed

[novel harbor]

i hope

[marsh palm]

Him Haaland Dias and Bernardo

[marsh palm]

fair by gw2 ill be asking who to start in this thread anyway 😂

[cerulean cape]

2 more for draft league, anyone want in. Preferably want to be active

[humble bane]

sure

[lavish parcel]

Is Kovacic out injured?

I know Rodri is

[marsh palm]

Yeah I read something about that

[lavish parcel]

And pep surely can't play Nico Gonzales and Oreily as pivots in PL

Like together

[humble bane]

He's injured for 2+ months

[lavish parcel]

Reindeer might actually be in

[novel harbor]

is oreily still a midfielder

on fpl

[lavish parcel]

Idk I looked at sofascore

[novel harbor]

oo no hes defender now

[carmine arch]

When I was away for a week I couldnt charge my phone

[novel harbor]

thats interesting 👀

[humble bane]

wont reindeer play #6 though which is bad

[novel harbor]

one to look out for if he gets mins

[carmine arch]

I can where I'm going

[novel harbor]

that mf loves to get involved

[lavish parcel]

Gundogan sort of role

[humble bane]

whos cdm then

[lavish parcel]

Not necessarily a 6 but a mix of 6 and 8

[humble bane]

oh wtf he scored 2 goals i didnt even see that

[novel harbor]

7 g/a for the entire 24/25

played rly well

[lavish parcel]

Gundo and him subbed on for the young 2 guys

[novel harbor]

for only 21 games

[lavish parcel]

Bro could've had Hattie

[marsh palm]

Yeah Reijnders pretty locked

Anderson is the safe 5.5 to start with

Can pivot to whoever after

[carmine arch]

Any updates on lief Davis to Forrest?

[marsh palm]

Malen Reijnders

[carmine arch]

That's a cool emote

[novel harbor]

apparently they're interested in tsimikas now or something thats what my forest fan friend said

[slim bane]

When’s the draft time

[carmine arch]

Really like my draft ATM want Munoz but can't stretch to him

[novel harbor]

the cat one is better

[carmine arch]

Nah

[cerulean cape]

Need to decide first

[carmine arch]

Need Forrest to sign a fullback before gw1

So I can do neco to vdv lac to munoz

[cerulean cape]

What European times are you awake @slim bane

[slim bane]

Erm I’m free for 2PM to 5PM

[cerulean cape]

Uk?

[slim bane]

Yea

[carmine arch]

Decently set on my team rn

[cerulean cape]

@slim bane maybe for now I guess

[carmine arch]

Just gotta wait for transfers

[marsh palm]

@novel harbor i guess maybe andersen to esteve kelleher to sanchez? nails my gk spot

[novel harbor]

ye that works

[slim bane]

When’s the draft?

[surreal ocean]

same midfield hm

whats your chip strategy

[humble bane]

final final team

porro+kelleher -> reijnders+sels

warra upgrade

[acoustic edge]

yes

[novel harbor]

u think?

[humble bane]

hmm 50-50

many of our attacks run through wirtz

watkins looks sharp though scored every game

[hollow ermine]

That’s not bad actually

[latent depot]

Announce Kelleher fit

[novel harbor]

well this is a change

who is potts btw

[latent depot]

the only 4.5 who will definitely start

[slim bane]

son of potter

[humble bane]

If we were actually good defensively frimpong would be essential 😭 but hes my only doubt rn

[slim bane]

yer a wizard ‘arry

[marsh palm]

Soucek

[humble dust]

Is 6.0

[hollow ermine]

Eh

4.5 and definitely start aren’t a thing

[broken patio]

Frens why are we Watkins over gyokeres?

[slim bane]

are we?

[broken patio]

Idk

[elder cargo]

Watkins better fix

[latent depot]

form, longer term fix, xMins,

[broken patio]

What if you just want gyok for the first 2, then move to whoever is good

[latent depot]

costs FTs init

[elder cargo]

I don’t like prebooking transfers

[slim bane]

arguably there’s no need to ft him out

[broken patio]

Mhm

[slim bane]

Only tough fix is gonna be city

[elder cargo]

His 3-6 is not desirable at all

[novel harbor]

city tough fixture

[elder cargo]

and he’s also a bit of an unknown quantity in how he does against top teams

[broken patio]

Yeah

I guess Watkins is just the safer pick all around

[elder cargo]

Watkins is like not that exciting as a pick at 9m but you have a pretty good sense at what you’re getting

It would be ideal if he ended up with penalties but it could be anyone that takes them next

[marsh palm]

Malen Gakpo and Haaland are locks

Strand Larsen too for me

And Palmer obvs

[broken patio]

Malen?

Even with guessand singing?

[marsh palm]

I like Malen as a player

[slim bane]

5.4M malen?

[marsh palm]

I miss PSV Malen

Idk man I guess he isn’t nailed cause of xmins

I might go Reijnders since I dont wanna triple Forest and Wolves’ defence is nasty

[elder cargo]

I’m on the Reijnders bandwagon for now

[marsh palm]

It’s really Anderson Reijnders
Malen
Everyone else

Damn Reijnders is at 8.6%

[hollow ermine]

No point, get him now use 2 ft gw, only to then bring back in gw7 anyway

[novel harbor]

nah arias is a serious option

[elder cargo]

Guessand is bad news for Watkins and Malen xMins

[broken patio]

Wow

[hollow ermine]

Or at worse being forced into wc

[broken patio]

Yeahh

[humble bane]

reindeer is the perfect enabler man

[marsh palm]

Didn’t impress me when he played Chelsea in the CWC

[marsh palm]

I think Anderson is better

[elder cargo]

Anderson is boring

[humble bane]

maybe but I'm on triple forest already😭

[novel harbor]

i dont think this is the most ideal way of deducing whether he'll be good

[marsh palm]

I didn’t even see Sels

[elder cargo]

Igor Thiago goal will rock your shit

[novel harbor]

he's playing for a better side now

[woven apex]

thoughts guys

[novel harbor]

didnt even realise but arias has taken the 5.5 crown on solio now

[marsh palm]

I haven’t seen Arias’ stats

[woven apex]

thinking of doing bruno to wirtz

[marsh palm]

Malen is more bias then anything

Stats and eye test wise its been a 2 headed race

[novel harbor]

im assuming they've decided to factor in his pen share

[broken patio]

My thinking is I can always move down to reijnders, but don't need to take the risk of starting with him, would rather pick a known quantity, who also has a super high ceiling, like sarr

[marsh palm]

Whats the appeal for Larsen if he isn’t taking pens

[novel harbor]

he doesnt need pens

thats the appeal

[marsh palm]

He’s gonna start

I dont see Reijnders not starting with Rodri Kovacic and Foden out

[broken patio]

Sarr> ndiaye but it's very nice

[novel harbor]

mateta taken 7.5 crown on solio

over bowen too 👀

[broken patio]

I hate having triple palace but sarr, mateta, Munoz all look like the best picks at their price point

[novel harbor]

agreed

except i am still glazing porro

[broken patio]

I have him too

[novel harbor]

oh perfect

lol

[broken patio]

I have 4 5.5 Defs lol

Porro Murillo tark munoz

[marsh palm]

Haaland and Reijnders GW1

Hm

[marsh palm]

Murillo and Tark >

[humble bane]

reindeer nearly scored 4 goals in 45 mins what a weirdo

[broken patio]

@marsh palm

[marsh palm]

Oh

😭

[novel harbor]

wait send team

[latent depot]

interesting, Josh King's only start last season was vs Soton. Wonder if he gets a start GW4 vs Leeds

[marsh palm]

dont think palace scores more then 1 against us

i expect 1-1 or 2-1 honestly

chelsea or draw + btts is the way to go for our game

[broken patio]

Time to watch man city highlights and see if I wanna kneejerk reindeers

[novel harbor]

ye palace chelsea is 1-1 galore from what i remember checking last yr

[marsh palm]

yeah it was

eze 2 ga 1 in each game too

[hollow ermine]

lol xg farmer

[novel harbor]

i rly want eze

but i just dont know how to fit him into my team

[hollow ermine]

Why are we all acting like Sarr wasn’t annoying to own

[marsh palm]

jade who do u like at 5.5 again

is it still anderson 1 for u

[hollow ermine]

Mateta Munoz and Eze would be scoring 2

[novel harbor]

ye

[marsh palm]

fair

[hollow ermine]

While Sarr is on 4xGI

[marsh palm]

do u have arias 2 or 3

[novel harbor]

becuz i think i'd rather my 5.5 be a floor player

[marsh palm]

or at least above reijnders

[novel harbor]

3

[hollow ermine]

And has had his shots saved 12 times by ramsdale

[novel harbor]

i think reijnders looks better.. probs recency bias tho

[marsh palm]

strand larsen was in my first ever draft

i don’t remember what the appeal was then but

hes the best 6.5 so back in my squad

[hollow ermine]

Anderson high floor mid ceiling probs better than arias low floor high ceiling

[novel harbor]

underpriced

[hollow ermine]

Issue is

Reindeers

Isn’t a cbit monster

So we’re getting him for ga

But still a dm after all

And he’s still subject to pep roulette

[novel harbor]

ye too many factors for me

anderson feels easy

[hollow ermine]

So is his floor even high at all

[novel harbor]

no

[humble bane]

reijnders low floor high ceiling ig

[novel harbor]

quite low

but high ceiling ye

[humble bane]

he's a risk but rodri and kovacic both have big injuries so he should be.... nailed

[latent depot]

yeah I'm prob going Anderson

[novel harbor]

ye this is true actually

is kovacic out for long?

[latent depot]

orrrr triple up on Forest defence again

[humble bane]

2-3 months

[broken patio]

Okay just watched city highlights

Why is reijnders playing like a striker?

[humble bane]

lol

[broken patio]

Thought this guy was a DM

Why is he there?

[humble dust]

because haaland wasn't on the pitch

[humble bane]

maybe it's haaland tax tbf

[broken patio]

Yeah

[novel harbor]

oh wait haaland wasnt on the pitch?

when reijnders was cooking?

[broken patio]

At that point no

[humble bane]

45 mins each

[humble dust]

subbed off 60 for 'mukasa'

[humble bane]

oh nvm

[novel harbor]

oh interesting

[broken patio]

Haaland subbed at 60

Reijnders scored his first goal at 59

[humble bane]

W

[novel harbor]

right then

[humble bane]

reindeer punt still on

[novel harbor]

i wonder what city's lineup will be gw1

[prime plinth]

Everything over the past 3 months says don't start salah... but it is salah

[broken patio]

Can always move away from him if he's shit

Just don't wanna lose FPL in the first few weeks

[quick dawn]

should i bin off this draft and build a normal team

[prime plinth]

His worst fixtures are at the start and over 7 it just isn't amazing if you wc4

Fh4*

[broken patio]

Fixtures have never mattered for Salah

[prime plinth]

Yeah i get it. Last season I started against haaland. Was correct but haaland went 10 goals in 5. Wc6 fomo out of salah palmer saka. Palmer scored 4 goals gw6. Salah went on a insane run and put me all the way to 2.7m by gw23

[broken patio]

Reijnders 10g5a last season, hmmm

[prime plinth]

Made a strong comeback to pushing 200k. Fell short to 400s

[novel harbor]

in italy

had 20 goal contributions that whole year

crazy

[broken patio]

Sarr 8g7a

Hmmm

[prime plinth]

He's a good option

[humble dust]

I think slightly underpriced ngl but maybe they thought rodri would be fit

[prime plinth]

Wolves gw1

[prime plinth]

Anderson maybe better for just playing every gw

[broken patio]

The xmins are an issue

I'm just gonna start with sarr, can always drop down

[prime plinth]

Fair

I might start with reijnders. Especially if Salah draft

[quick dawn]

if rodri is injured how is reijnders not playing

[prime plinth]

Rogers still out right?

[prime plinth]

Reijnders will play

He just won't be 90s probably

Reijnders also isn't playing rodri role

[waxen river]

Will Anderson be 90s tho

[prime plinth]

He's the 8

[prime plinth]

Should be

[quick dawn]

thats better

[prime plinth]

Yeah I'll get the pep comments

[broken patio]

I'm looking through cities preseason games

In 3 different games reijnders got the full 90 minutes
City scored 10 goals in that time
Reijnders 0g0a

[prime plinth]

The 27-year-old is comfortable operating in a deep midfield role, but it’s in the attacking position he played against Palermo that Pep feels he has ‘special’ qualities.

“Yeah, we knew that he is a special player arriving into the box,” Guardiola explained.

“He loves to do that. People in Italy know him perfectly [after his time at AC Milan].

“He scored two goals and he made a fantastic performance like the rest of his teammates.

“He can play as a holding midfielder but he loves to arrive to the box to help our strikers like Erling [Haaland] and Omar [Marmoush] and anyone who plays there.

“We are really pleased.”

[prime plinth]

Only needs to score 1 in 3 to be a good pick

[broken patio]

No involvements in 10 city goals though

That would be frustrating AF as an owner

[prime plinth]

Fair but I think reijnders is better against better teams

When teams are defending other threats better

[quick dawn]

i think this is worse than my previous draft

[prime plinth]

Juve game

[waxen river]

Is 4 atb still the way to go

[quick dawn]

depends

[waxen river]

Like is everybody here still running it

[prime plinth]

Frimpong and Ait nouri could steal the show

[quick dawn]

yeah i like nouri

[prime plinth]

Anyway, reijnders heat map is extremely promising

[novel harbor]

still looks solid

all ur drafts look fine tbh

[quick dawn]

i keep changing every player though lol

[novel harbor]

havent u just removed marmoush and upgraded def here?

[quick dawn]

yeah

marmoush and ekitike to watkins frimpong

the 1st just sounds better though lol

[prime plinth]

Only Palermo but still for 45 minutes

[quick dawn]

im sold for 5.5

[prime plinth]

He's definitely a chance for me

[cedar hull]

Palermo has the same ranking as Leyton Orient btw

[clever hollow]

triple pool 😭

[prime plinth]

Tottenham savio offer rejected at 50m

Greedy pricks

I expect we'll offer up to 55-60

[quick dawn]

is he even worth that much

lol
