[quick dawn]

good team though

[novel harbor]

anyone would, it’s the better move lol

[cedar hull]

jade whats your team rn

https://tenor.com/view/missed-shot-basketball-lakers-gif-11423573

[novel harbor]

i have 2 rn my pen wet dream one and my realistic one that ive been on since yday

the pen wet dream is only 6 pen takers tbf (assuming gyok is on them) i didnt go as overboard as i could've

[hollow ermine]

Holy Solio

[novel harbor]

i hate u

[marsh palm]

is the other one i made yesterday

[novel harbor]

and then what i will most likely end up playing

[novel harbor]

yes but with vicario instead of sanchez

[cedar hull]

dont like any cheap fwds

other than that its nice

[novel harbor]

what about u whats ur current draft

[cedar hull]

bruh

[cedar hull]

idk tryna figure it out, last draft had anderson

so tryna get rid of him

[novel harbor]

W andy

[cedar hull]

but currently tryna get a 442 to work

[novel harbor]

fwiw, forest fans i’ve spoken to (i’m notts based) don’t think the new midfielders will eat into anderson’s minutes whatsoever

[cedar hull]

but all the defs died

[cedar hull]

any form of early sub kills his cbit chances

and theyve tried a 442 all preseason

[zenith jolt]

shhhhhhh

[cedar hull]

im not entirely against him though

[zenith jolt]

shhhh

shh

[latent depot]

Brentford without Wissa/Schade GW1, Palace possibly without Eze GW2, this is too convenient for comfort for my triple Forest defence

[cedar hull]

dango

is a gem at 6

id have him if i knew he started

[marsh palm]

do u think he gets pt for gw1

when do they play sat?

[latent depot]

Sunday

[marsh palm]

he could get pt

[cedar hull]

yeah but he probably gets announced tomorrow

doubt hes even trained with them then

it will be klp thiago carvalho gw1

my current team is a 442 with keane which says it all really

not been a good day for my fpl

[latent depot]

I'm 🔒

[cedar hull]

3rd times the charm

[wanton whale]

okay ive just realised that bruno is literally tielemans but 3m more expensive

[novel harbor]

wrong 6m

you mean paqueta

and yes hes a much better paqueta

[latent depot]

haven't changed the team for like 6 hours

[wanton whale]

solio?

[novel harbor]

?

[cerulean cape]

Paqueta without his case is gonna be the new KDB

[wanton whale]

just a joke 😃

[novel harbor]

getting too overplayed

hard to tell

anymore

[wanton whale]

its okay

[cedar hull]

im really on the fence with bruno

icl

getting 10 points from 1 assist is really annoying

[wanton whale]

bruno vs wirtz is like so tight

[cedar hull]

and you gotta have pool attack

jade wirtz is gonna have 50% more goals to be involved in

[waxen river]

This is me rn but no second pool mid is annoying

[wanton whale]

woah these reacts

[cedar hull]

liverpool scored 86 goals last season, united scored 44

[cerulean cape]

That's last season

[wanton whale]

maybe i just say fuck watkins

[cedar hull]

cheers pal 👍

[cerulean cape]

What's your point tho

[novel harbor]

this

thats not an argument

[cerulean cape]

Last season spurs def was awful

Why do you own spurs def

[novel harbor]

lets work with what we know

[cedar hull]

says jade with fullkrug

[novel harbor]

zzz deflecting

fullkrug

god pick

[cedar hull]

i mean

[wanton whale]

ive used some insane data analytics and my intense knowledge to come up with a winner

[cedar hull]

work with what we know and you have fullkrug who played less than 800 mins

[latent depot]

dog pick

[novel harbor]

this is irrelevant

[cerulean cape]

You didn't answer my question lol

[novel harbor]

i shouldnt even have to explain why

[cedar hull]

i dont have the energy tbh

cba

[cerulean cape]

You criticised tyghe for handpicking stats

[novel harbor]

too much discourse in here is just deflection lol

i dont get it

[cedar hull]

handpicking

[latent depot]

Tark in a back 4 with Patterson/Keane/McNeil outscores Fullkrug tbh

[limber pine]

Still on triple forest defense?

[wanton whale]

is this good? need some thoughts

[cerulean cape]

Tark gets a striker goal every 3 games

So yes

[novel harbor]

thank you

[cerulean cape]

Yes

[novel harbor]

oml

[limber pine]

Thiago biggest avoid of all time now tho

[limber pine]

Thoughts on Marmoush

[wanton whale]

fuck my ass man

is there any good cheap fwds ffs

[cerulean cape]

Worse than wirtz and bruno

[limber pine]

Bet bro, when?

[cerulean cape]

And warkins

Watkins *

[novel harbor]

tark in that back 4 for the whole season?

[wanton whale]

fitting watkins, wirtz and bruno is a nightmare

[valid river]

Why do you have darlow when Perry is fit

[cerulean cape]

Tark got 11 goals from DC last year

[limber pine]

The xBenCrellin effect tho…

[cerulean cape]

Why is marmoush so high on review

[cedar hull]

[cedar hull]

clean sheets

[valid river]

August 9

[limber pine]

Think he was, not really anymore

[cedar hull]

thiagos still probably fine fwiw

[novel harbor]

not even an argument worth entertaining, its just empirically wrong

[cerulean cape]

He got 44 points from DC which equals 11 fullkrug goals

[marsh palm]

this is my team

legit just porro gakpo instead of vdv wirtz

[cerulean cape]

Obv minus bonus

[cedar hull]

oh youre on about fullkrug goals mb

[marsh palm]

oh yeah and i guess malen but reijnders is my #2

[cerulean cape]

Review hates watkins and he might even be on pens

[marsh palm]

cause of dango?

[cerulean cape]

No way it likes marmoush

[wanton whale]

fullkrug is good because he plays sunderland end of story

[marsh palm]

its fullkrug

[novel harbor]

i couldnt care less about him playing sunderland

[wanton whale]

hey im backing you here

[novel harbor]

no ur not tho

becuz its not my reasoning lol

[wanton whale]

oh

[cerulean cape]

West ham plays chelsea gw1 and fullkrug would have 0.5% ownership

[valid river]

I'm a bit worried about Rogers as I'm not awake for deadline

[cedar hull]

bowen would be halved too

awb/diouf

[novel harbor]

this is true

[wanton whale]

get evanilson

[valid river]

I have him

[cedar hull]

whats your reasoning then jade ooi

[cerulean cape]

What kinda casual are you not waking up for deadline

[wanton whale]

oh nice

[novel harbor]

and it still doesnt change the fact that the reason i own fullkrug isnt becuz he plays sunderland gw1

[novel harbor]

becuz i need a budget enabler. and i'd rather that come from the worst position in the game

[valid river]

The fact it's 4am :(

[novel harbor]

ive gone over this so many times

[valid river]

I might wait up just for Rogers News

Then sleep

[wanton whale]

west ham fans have said fullkrug has been working hard and looked sharp tbf

[cerulean cape]

100% wake up

[cedar hull]

why fullkrug over thiago

[valid river]

Fine you convinced me

4am wake up

[cerulean cape]

Not even a debate tbh

[novel harbor]

becuz i want to play double forest double spurs defence and thiago clashes with double forest

[valid river]

If Rogers isn't fit I'll just get Ndiaye or something

[cerulean cape]

@limber pine also

[valid river]

Who we getting if Rogers is ruled out in the conference

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/fcp-porto-gol-golo-maritmo-gif-26407953

[valid river]

I have him bro

[wanton whale]

sorry my brain is actually fried

[cedar hull]

fire ngl

[cerulean cape]

You decide this before you sleep

[wanton whale]

im in a call with like 5 people who are all discussing their teams

[valid river]

Ok Ndiaye or RAN

[wanton whale]

🚶‍♂️

i actually really want ran

not ready for a benching tho

[limber pine]

That’s wrong but it hate Rogers, and loves Tielemans 😭😭

[wanton whale]

are you 4 back with 4.0s?

[limber pine]

Cold team

[valid river]

Rogers to ndiaye and keep 0.5 itb

[wanton whale]

nah rogers is worth the 0.5

[valid river]

Rogers is SO clear of Ndiaye tho

[valid river]

This is if he's injured

[wanton whale]

ffs im actually starting with 10 players ig

cant not have 2 pool mids tho

[marsh palm]

dango might help thiago if anything

[cerulean cape]

Yes

[marsh palm]

i think both thiago and dango will start and dango will just play out wide

[wanton whale]

cold tbf

[cerulean cape]

If Rogers out i go 5 atb I think

Or start swap to evan

[wanton whale]

starting evan will be worth come gw2 when he bags a brace 🙏

[cedar hull]

yeah dangos the mbeumo replacement

[limber pine]

One injury and you’re fucked tho

[cedar hull]

idky everyone thinks thiago is suddenly dead tbh

[cerulean cape]

One injury and I'm using my ft

[marsh palm]

i still go fullkrug because i have triple forest but

[wanton whale]

exactly, they needed both wissa and mbeumo replacements

[limber pine]

So many enablers ain’t for my taste, but if it works for you it’s good

[marsh palm]

i also dont think anderson is dead

mcatee is probably depth to their attacking options

[wanton whale]

gakpo and evan vs wirtz and thiago guys

[marsh palm]

like mgw

[cedar hull]

wirtz thiago probably

[cerulean cape]

Tbh rodon/esteve shouldn't get that much less than a 4.5m def

Especially with DC

[wanton whale]

ye ig, wirtz is clear of gakpo but i much prefer evan

[bleak bison]

could u do murillo to lacroix or smt and get like joao pedro instead of evanilson?

ig thats a big downgrade early season tho

[limber pine]

Not a gamble for me personally, but if it works it’s gonna work very good. Very high upside with very high risk that team.

[marsh palm]

why is gakpo xmins so low for anyone who understands the market

[cedar hull]

yet to be convinced on jp tbh

[bleak bison]

is this fpl news

[marsh palm]

i think gakpo is just as nailed as wirtz (just looking at gw1)

[cedar hull]

will get subbed off most games, and any attacker pool sign decreases his mins even more

[novel harbor]

my dilemma with 451 is that for me its literally watkins vs mateta and fullkrug, like theres no other upside to the switch

[wanton whale]

just took him out

[bleak bison]

tbf all forwards are shocking

[marsh palm]

was wirtz substitution in the shield precaution?

[bleak bison]

thats why I dont wanna remove watkins

[keen wren]

Thiago

[marsh palm]

also how would they set up? 4-4-2 without gakpo?

[cedar hull]

probably protecting one of their best players for the season start idk

[cerulean cape]

Watkins has been nailed for me since the start

[bleak bison]

he's ass my friend

[cerulean cape]

Loved 2020 watkins

[zenith jolt]

think i like my team ngl

[latent depot]

forwards under 9 are whelming for GW1

[cerulean cape]

Alpha Darwin

[bleak bison]

drop so I can peep (copy)

[elder cargo]

You don’t know ball

[wanton whale]

bou assets going so under the radar coz of gw1

[marsh palm]

our teams r similar @wanton whale

[bleak bison]

I want to think Thiago is a good pick but idk

[elder cargo]

You can think that

[bleak bison]

if he was, would be a lot easier

[elder cargo]

Just do it

[keen wren]

Facts

[marsh palm]

is andersen worth starting? i was contemplating a 4-5-1 with wirtz ekitike and a 6.5

[novel harbor]

no

[latent depot]

Bournemouth missing both starting pivots impacts their press/attack as well as the defence

[novel harbor]

im just showing why 451 imo sucks without tark

im not playing it

[cerulean cape]

Swap pool and wolves fixtures around and Evan would have the same ownership as Fullkrug

[elder cargo]

We should be gatekeeping this pick but we’ve been generous and shared it

[novel harbor]

ur getting so based

[cedar hull]

clear your cache for the new kits if you want

[novel harbor]

🔥

[novel harbor]

omg ty

[wanton whale]

whos actually missing from their 11

[latent depot]

Lewis Cook + Christie

[zenith jolt]

who

[cedar hull]

both back soon tbf

[marsh palm]

malen all i ask for is one return

good thing about malen is that he's probably their RW even if rogers is fit

[novel harbor]

[bleak bison]

Thiago barely takes any shots

[marsh palm]

id assume if rogers starts he's in that 10

[cerulean cape]

Malen is good because you know after gw1 that he's an instant transfer out

[elder cargo]

Goongor Goonago

[valid river]

Who

[elder cargo]

Huge sample size to go off

[novel harbor]

has he not started 1 game? lmao

[cerulean cape]

Lost Ramsey to Newcastle so.might play lw

[cerulean cape]

Tark/romero with the funds

[marsh palm]

❌ im on this ship until it sails

im set and forget until gw4

so i should probably go reijnders lol

[bleak bison]

Why did brentford only have 3 pre season games 😢

[cerulean cape]

It didn't set off mate

[cedar hull]

emery loves mcginn there tbf

[marsh palm]

or arias but gw1 scares me

[cerulean cape]

Mcginn also RM too

[marsh palm]

yeah he's probably more nailed then malen

emery dillema is starting malen or onana i think

[cedar hull]

malen probably starts just very low xmins

wouldnt be surprised if hes first sub every game

how does baleba affect bruno if it happens

assuming he gets slightly more freedom to move up

[limber pine]

Makes Bruno which should be 10.5 btw, an even better asset

[cedar hull]

fairs

[novel harbor]

bruno priced correctly

[bleak bison]

nah bruno wouldnt cost more than saka

[novel harbor]

wirtz and marmoush just overpriced

[marsh palm]

@cedar hull do you think dango gets pt v forest

[novel harbor]

actually marmosh can stay at 8.5

[marsh palm]

i might go triple forest and thiago anyway 😭

[bleak bison]

marmoush should have been priced the same as foden

[surreal ocean]

hi guys how we feeling

[novel harbor]

that wirtz fraud can be 8 mil

[surreal ocean]

confident?

[cedar hull]

probably off the bench nothing much, dependends when the transfer is finalised. smart thing is just avoid

[bleak bison]

I was until Squidwirtz put himself in my head

[novel harbor]

no

[marsh palm]

its moreso thiago

[bleak bison]

but not removing bruno

[novel harbor]

pulling hairs from my head currently

[marsh palm]

i like dango a lot too

he'd be one of the best 6.0 options if he was starting

[bleak bison]

marmoush hatty made him go up 1.5m

thats crazy

[surreal ocean]

👩‍🦲

dont stress jade you werent going to win fpl anyway

george on the other hand

[cedar hull]

dango will be their main rw

thiago isnt really affected

[marsh palm]

meant for starting vs triple forest

i wont

im going fullkrug

i think thiago's xg is too high anyway against this defence

[surreal ocean]

gw1 draft doesnt mean too much as long as its not bonkers

[wanton whale]

it does

overthink everything

[cedar hull]

a good gw1 draft can basically snowball you tbh

if you get the right picks you can stack ft and snowball from there

[wanton whale]

i like just going sensible and with your gut for a few picks

worst thing you can do is scroll through 50 JP/Bruno/wirtz drafts and getting fomo

[surreal ocean]

well since most in this thread are on a similar structure were all boned or 100k inbound

[cedar hull]

i dont think this is sensible

[wanton whale]

i think it is because you have bruno

[cedar hull]

[surreal ocean]

im going to stack my ft regardless of performance

[wanton whale]

Mateta will be missed dearly

[surreal ocean]

i picked good players

[marsh palm]

i think im set

[surreal ocean]

thats my top tip

[broken patio]

[marsh palm]

surprisingly have been on this for a while

fullkrug vs thiago and anderson vs reijnders r my only questions

[surreal ocean]

look this is basically my team

me and rem are golden

[cedar hull]

if palace were linked to people it would be fine, but with eze and guehi looking to leave and no replacements as of yet its eh

[marsh palm]

OR 2m lets go

[surreal ocean]

[novel harbor]

its fine all i care about is topping road to 100k mini league and my office league and my uni league

[marsh palm]

i think anderson turns into reijnders since i have so much floor picks

[wanton whale]

fixture congestion for palace as well, small squad tougher fixtures i think they will struggle a bit

[marsh palm]

murillo salah palmer especially bruno

allows me to chase g/a

then again i have porro

[cedar hull]

yeah the main worry is 0 links with small squad and all these fix like

what are they doing

[wanton whale]

fr theyve made no attempt at business

strange

[marsh palm]

@novel harbor what do u think would u turn anderson into reijnders here to chase g/a

[wanton whale]

maybe they expect eze and guehi to stay

[cedar hull]

think theyre depressed at not getting europa

[novel harbor]

ye

[surreal ocean]

im so on floor picks this year, too many options theres going to be more sexy options that fall flat

all anderson has to do is kick the ball away

[marsh palm]

would u change anything else or is it just preference otherwise

[surreal ocean]

fuck i could do that

[novel harbor]

actually no i wouldnt realistically

[marsh palm]

like vicario > sanchez

[marsh palm]

based

[novel harbor]

but if u think anderson loses mins

u probs should

i dont think he will

[marsh palm]

i dont

think so either

he's mgw depth

[surreal ocean]

george's cbit per 90 would be crazy

[marsh palm]

hudson odoi depth

[novel harbor]

just preference and chip timing pretty much

[cedar hull]

need some big info tomorrow ngl

[surreal ocean]

if a big pick goes south while im at work ill be fuming

this is why the unemployed are so good at fpl

[obtuse shoal]

And you should think about Gakpo. Could become a worry in due time. If Isak comes.

[wanton whale]

what are you changing if rogers is out?

[obtuse shoal]

I do my best tinkering at work

[cedar hull]

not even rogers, like palace/pool concrete links can change a lot

[marsh palm]

i dont think he becomes an issue by gw4

maybe right on gw4

[limber pine]

I can easily see that Rio guy getting some 15-20 minutes off the bench too. The guy is a phenomen.

When Isak signs

He’s far from nailed

[cerulean cape]

I booked 6 weeks off work to plan my fpl team

I dont see the issue, if gakpo starts the first 4 which he should

Then you just sell gw5 when it might become an issue

[cedar hull]

pay to win for nitro lol

gakpo to sarr gw4

if hes not nailed by then ofc

[surreal ocean]

munoz is the goat

[surreal ocean]

gakpo to rogers gw4 im thinking

[cerulean cape]

I'm not avoiding a pick because he might get dropped in 5 weeks lol

[surreal ocean]

or whichever fixture they play sunderland in

[limber pine]

When I’m building my team, I’m trying to set it up for like at least 6 GWs without a transfer needed. But we all know something unexpected happening which we can’t predict, therefore I just plan to get unknown issues

[cedar hull]

yeah i sorta do the same

[surreal ocean]

i just dont think the risk is really there for gakpo, if he plays well at lw for four games he's not getting dropped before wc7

[latent depot]

Diaz started the first 6 last season before his first benching, I see that as a reasonable benchmark. are UCL dates out yet? Usually between GW4 and GW5, and between GW6 and GW7, right?

[cedar hull]

confirmation ekitike can play lw

[surreal ocean]

ekitike's name is hugo

aura loss

[tender cipher]

Bro it’s been weeks 😭

Is TS ragebait

[obtuse shoal]

Damn I somehow ended up seriously considering double forest def

[surreal ocean]

do you really expect me to be on first name basis with all your signings

[latent depot]

anyway, I plan to have Gakpo GW1-5

[tender cipher]

Just curious

There’s like

Peoples names where u say their full name

[supple steeple]

Wirtz->Bruno
Rogers->Ndiaye

locked

[tender cipher]

What does this even mean

Lmao

[surreal ocean]

guff that happens gw1 and then is forgotten three weeks later

[valid ocean]

More pens

[latent depot]

penalty every game

[valid ocean]

Gonna go with MDC and hope he gets pens tbh

[surreal ocean]

mdc

[novel harbor]

ok im off gakpo now

[surreal ocean]

jade its too late for this

[novel harbor]

[wanton whale]

ive cracked a draft with almost the perfect attack but the defence is shambles

[novel harbor]

im serious tho

[cedar hull]

bruh i just got my 5th promotion in a row on fm and im now in the prem with a 30k wage bill, this was supposed to be a long term journeyman

[novel harbor]

theres no point owning gakpo is ekitike is just gonna start over him when isak comes in

[surreal ocean]

salah saka bruno wirtz haaland

[novel harbor]

im on ekitike now

[latent depot]

Gakpo prob gets Diaz's starts, so 28 starts, 8 subs he's out of my team after GW5

[tender cipher]

What team

💔 💔

[wanton whale]

cant take out loans sadly

[cedar hull]

buxton

[tender cipher]

I don’t even know where that is…

[wanton whale]

idk if i can run this

[cedar hull]

vanarama national league north i think

been playing 5atb the whole time too

[bleak bison]

Hmm. Requires Pape Sarr and thin defence though 😢

[tender cipher]

The regens that he enslaved early at a contract of 15 years at 300 pounds a week

[surreal ocean]

if kelleher starts do you cry

[wanton whale]

petro can farm saves

btw im not sticking with that team

[bleak bison]

Wirtz + Bruno + Watkins just compromises too much

[cedar hull]

ngl want rogers out so i can get rid of watkins lol

[limber pine]

They say this every year.

What happens? Nothing.
Can it change this year? Yes, but most likely not.

[cedar hull]

they will do it for like 3 weeks then forget for the whole season

[limber pine]

Spot on lmao

[wanton whale]

realistically he wont be out for long anyway

[supple steeple]

I'm crushing you in pick1 cup this weekend.

[wanton whale]

and villas fixtures are just so good

[lone thorn]

[limber pine]

Am I playing you lmao?

[supple steeple]

yes

[limber pine]

Where do I go and pick

[supple steeple]

I dunno

[limber pine]

I never played it before

[supple steeple]

dm drax

[limber pine]

I’m picking Tielemans wbu

[supple steeple]

with your pick

[elder cargo]

Norwegian showdown

[novel harbor]

ekitike drafts are so beautiful

[elder cargo]

Old blood v young

[novel harbor]

fuck gakpo

[wanton whale]

surely hes just as much a risk

[novel harbor]

nah slot told me

[limber pine]

Is he Norwegian wtf

Er du norsk

[elder cargo]

Well he is. His upside for Bournemouth is huge though I’m somewhat skeptical of backing him against two good teams in 2 and 3 without seeing more of him.

[elder cargo]

Yes he’s a Norwegian unc

[limber pine]

Sjaarti dette er bare mellom meg og deg, men redsix kan suge kølla mi

[elder cargo]

can’t be a good sign seeing my name in there

[humble bane]

not a risk when we have 0 strikers other than eki

will wright tbf

[novel harbor]

no but when isak comes ekitike > gakpo

[humble bane]

save up for ekitike -> isak ez

[wanton whale]

gakpo

[lone thorn]

i'll take the 1m saving on Gakpo aswell, he'll get similar if not better returns to Hugo

[wanton whale]

my brain is mush

[elder cargo]

yes

[novel harbor]

if luis diaz could bench gakpo early last season then ekitike can put gakpo in retirement

[latent depot]

damn, why is Savinho 7.0

[wanton whale]

ok

[humble bane]

ppl acting like newcastle is a hard game 💀 it was some of our best attacking returns last season

[cedar hull]

why you looking at savinho bro

[latent depot]

Spurs fix

[cedar hull]

eze would be a better asset no

[latent depot]

GW3 or later obv

[novel harbor]

does savinho even know how to finish

[wanton whale]

we all spending 9m on tielemans right?

[elder cargo]

yeah just because there’s been good games in it doesn’t mean people want to target Newcastle away

[cedar hull]

you mean anderson on pens?

[lone thorn]

yes when he's vs laliga farmers

[elder cargo]

with “pen share”

[humble bane]

fairs. i can see that game being intense given how this summer went

[wanton whale]

worth it imo

[humble bane]

winner gets isak

[novel harbor]

[elder cargo]

Pen share for a player who missed a penalty and then didn’t take any of the next 7 pens they got last season

[wanton whale]

gakpo

[elder cargo]

I have pen shares at that point

[elder cargo]

heard you lost your head over La Liga fantasy

Hope you feel better

[wanton whale]

how did you find out?

wtf

[elder cargo]

I’m active in the channel incase I have to step in

[wanton whale]

damn yeah i went mental

[cedar hull]

wait what

[wanton whale]

wouldnt recommend playing

[cedar hull]

you play la liga fantasy

[wanton whale]

no i quit before gw1

[cedar hull]

[wanton whale]

okay my gut is saying gakpo = good so im locked

[elder cargo]

he built a poop squad and then lost his mind or something

[limber pine]

Anyone playing Latvian league fantasy?

[elder cargo]

obviously

[wanton whale]

no my team was good i just sold it all

[limber pine]

I’m not, interesting.

[wanton whale]

its like impossible to build a good team unless you are a complete tryhard

looking at you baki and steelix

[elder cargo]

I played Irish league fantasy for a while because Jonas put me onto it, the app was horrible though

Jonas of all people played Irish league fantasy

FMLS is miles clear

[bleak bison]

I been thinking this too. Dorgu had them guys on strings

[cedar hull]

Their right side is weaker than their left tbf

[limber pine]

Like it’s so obvious Isak gonna join LFC. Why force yourself a transfer soon?

[cedar hull]

Going with 0 pool attackers feels wrong tbf

[bleak bison]

gonna put 3 men on salah and leave gakpo open fr

[tender cipher]

This is genuinely genius

Wait

But like they gotta deal with frimpong too

[bleak bison]

yeah so 4 men that side

[tender cipher]

That’s even more genius

[lavish parcel]

When is Villa press?

[supple steeple]

you mispelled Grealish and Ndiaye

[lavish parcel]

Need good ebenin to tell us if Rogers is starting or not

[tender cipher]

Reijnders vs KDH

Currently on KDH

But like it’s .5 more

[supple steeple]

to start every week?

[tender cipher]

Oh I didn’t consider that

[bleak bison]

KDH probably doesnt play 90s too

[tender cipher]

No I got Evanilson on the bench

[supple steeple]

I got KDH but I can bench him gw 5 and 8

[bleak bison]

locks me out of squid tho

triple liverpool attack vs arsenal gw3

[lone thorn]

maybe, but got him for the upside anyway, if u want nailed 90' get Xhaka/Baleba

[bleak bison]

do you have a 4.5 forward?

[supple steeple]

yep

[fleet oracle]

Are villas fix that good for att?

[supple steeple]

Esteve plays gw8 vs LEE

Andersen gw5 vs BRE

[fleet oracle]

Lmfao. I’m Irish and I wouldn’t even play that

[supple steeple]

or Guiu if he's back by then and looking decent ofc

[bleak bison]

they are pretty good yeah. Newcastle seem unsettled so they probably shit the bed in the first week

[fleet oracle]

I’m debating Watkins or gyok. I’ve been on gyok all preseason, but now I’m getting cold feet about having no villa att

[bleak bison]

Watkins way better than Gyok for now

imo

Leeds is their only nice fixture until Newcastle/West Ham

[fleet oracle]

I think the Leeds gw2 fix is what’s giving me fomo. I could see him bank a brace in that. And then he goes up.

[cedar pine]

All it takes is 1 goal from gyok gw1 and a blank from watkins vs newcastle and gyokeres is 9.1 while watkins is 8.9

[fleet oracle]

That’s my worry

Whereas if Watkins scores and gyok blanks, they don’t swap 0.1

[bleak bison]

yeah. Nothing much we can do about that

[zenith jolt]

team before final day

[bleak bison]

United concede a lot like 3 yards from the goalkeeper

[limber pine]

Would watch out for Thiago now man, Dango and Kalimuendo

Still cold

[limber pine]

I’ll copy that

[limber pine]

😭😭😭

When brain is not braining

So sorry man

Who did they sign 😭😭

[humble dust]

1 out of 2

[limber pine]

I swear they signed 2

[humble dust]

they got dango

[limber pine]

Dango and?

[zenith jolt]

they are getting dango

[limber pine]

Mums?

[zenith jolt]

but he is probs just mbeumo rw replacement

[limber pine]

Why did I think for all these days he was going to Brentford

[zenith jolt]

he was linked

[limber pine]

I’m fucking washed

[oak furnace]

is Rogers fit or not?

[supple steeple]

dunno

in team training (apparently) and goodebenin is a Rogers addict

good enough for me

[bleak bison]

thiago just seems like such a dodgy pick

[proud gale]

seen a lot of people go with fullkrug whats the general consensus on him

is he just shit

[cedar pine]

6 million forward we expect to start with a good gw1 fix

There's not many alternatives

[proud gale]

yea the gw1 fix is enticing tho

cheaper bowen

[latent depot]

I think I'm finally on the Bruno train

But Bruno makes me want to FH4

Who's better, Rodon or Gudmundsson? Just for GW1

[proud gale]

pras has the latter

[latent depot]

What was his reasoning? I need to look at his CBITs

I recall Rodon not being that impressive, but they were dominant

[cedar hull]

Rodon better cbits, gudmundsson might be more nailed

[latent depot]

Just need GW1 tbh

[bleak bison]

Probably because the models rate gudmundsson more

he's their fullback I think

Rodons cbit werent the best

Esteve was like the only one with good cbits out of the shitters iirc

[latent depot]

Everyone farms CBITs vs Everton tho

[bleak bison]

so cant really predict cbit numbers for promoted sides

[proud gale]

yea thats the one

[slim bane]

what’s mateta xP vs reindeer xP for gw1?

[proud gale]

i wouldnt expect cbit from any 4m defenders anyway

theyre just there cuz u couldnt find funds

[bleak bison]

I do think the main man at the back will hit the threshold most of the times

[proud gale]

maybe, maybe not

cuz they will have less posession ig

[lone thorn]

Thiago x Fullkrug🍳

[proud gale]

mid^2

[latent depot]

I need Rodon to hit CBITs, got JSL on the bench

[proud gale]

jsl has pens most likely just start him 😭

even tho wolves dont get them

[cedar hull]

Might be cooked ngl

Gonna be a day tomorrow fs

[bleak bison]

With Bailey and Ramsey leaving, could Malen be an option over Rogers 😂

[latent depot]

Don't they have a new signing

[bleak bison]

Guessand

forgot about that guy

[zenith jolt]

anderson gotta go

bro isnt hitting cbit with 70 mins

[cedar hull]

Yeah I've been trying all day to get rid of him

Don't know how to move him ngl

[bleak bison]

just get reindeer

[trail forum]

I think people rating villa too highly

[supple steeple]

Okay so here is my copium thoughts

[cedar hull]

Ah yes, move a 70min guy to another 70min guy

[supple steeple]

Grealish hasnt played in a year and had ZERO preseason

so KDH will be on set pieces and play as the 10

in the first few at least

[cedar hull]

I don't rate them, but Watkins + Rogers is like 70% goal share

[supple steeple]

[cedar hull]

Kdh is fine for first gw but then it's just uncertainty

[trail forum]

True

[cedar hull]

If Rogers is out I probably won't go watkins

[slim bane]

Reindeer v mateta for gw1?

[lone thorn]

if Rogers fit, would u go for him over 7.5 fwd?

[trail forum]

Guys what do you all think about increase of pens due to the rule change for grabbing

[slim bane]

Tough because I eventually want mateta in

[trail forum]

Is it real

[bleak bison]

Im thinking of starting with JP then booking the Mateta transfer in 😂

[marsh palm]

i have fullkrug gakpo anderson kroupi u have thiago rogers rutter guiu other then that exact same

[trail forum]

Or solanke

[slim bane]

I just decided to start with mateta

[bleak bison]

or solanke yeah

[marsh palm]

i dont trust rogers being fully fit and gakpo is my double pool cover

[cedar hull]

Marginal gain imo

[zenith jolt]

pretty much the same as everyone

template is ridiculously strong

[marsh palm]

ye its just preference

[cedar hull]

Template very solid as a lot of outside shouts died due to injuries or transfers

[bleak bison]

van de ven + munoz or porro + richards?

[trail forum]

Remember the handball change a couple years ago

Was pen city

[marsh palm]

just wondering why thiago with double forest? @zenith jolt

i like thiago more but i dont want redundancy

[zenith jolt]

no one else to pick

[lone thorn]

Munoz + Porro

[marsh palm]

u could go fullkrug for sunderland and then pivot

[bleak bison]

lend me 1m

[zenith jolt]

not bothered, gw1 is a meh fixture for thiago anyway

have him for some of the following weeks

[marsh palm]

is there any mins risk for fullkrug? not sure why thiago has like 10 more xmins then him

other then that xg is similar

[cedar hull]

Just cos you have double forest doesn't mean you shouldn't go thiago

[zenith jolt]

my forest def is mainly just cbit farming + lack of other options

[marsh palm]

im trying to avoid fixture combustion

or wtv the word is

[zenith jolt]

didnt necessarily want to double on them tbh

don't be shy, uncrop

[cedar hull]

Adz keeping 5atb alive singlehandedly

[lone thorn]

cmon

[supple steeple]

him and that one dude spamming 5atb in fplchat

[bleak bison]

thats similar to a challenge league team im playing with some friends

dont tell towers I have 2 teams

[cedar hull]

Could do this I guess and cope that tark is fine

[lone thorn]

i'm coping that Munoz + Porro r basically wingers so my 5atb is really a 3atb

[wanton whale]

evan 👀

[cedar hull]

Bruno makes all drafts 0.5 off if I wanna go there cba

[latent depot]

Is tielemens on pens just a theory or do we actually know?

[bleak bison]

the guy is ass at pens too

[wanton whale]

watkins to ekitike

[zenith jolt]

theory

[bleak bison]

just assume no one takes pens at villa

[zenith jolt]

paq better

[supple steeple]

idk where this is from really

he took two pens last year and missed both

one for belgium and one for villa

[cedar hull]

Genuinely considering it

[bleak bison]

has rogers taken a pen yet

[oak furnace]

I'm pretty settled with this atm

only real thing I'm stuck with is valdi vs dubravka

[bleak bison]

how does defence look gw4?

[oak furnace]

and whether Rogers is fit

[oak furnace]

it looks the same

i haven't booked in any transfers

if i have room i might go one of the forest guys out

[latent depot]

FH13 too boring to wait for, might be awful OR and making decisions on vibes by then

So FH4 WC7 BB8

[oak furnace]

idm fh4 tbh

[valid ocean]

No point planning past gw8

[bleak bison]

Left or Right? I'm probably deciding between something like this. Wirtz just makes my team too shit

[oak furnace]

is neither an option

[bleak bison]

😂

[slim bane]

I just realised the problem with my team

I have no easy way to munoz

[bleak bison]

I think its better than your team. Not a fan of 4.5 gk and double 4.0 defenders

[latent depot]

@cerulean cape I'm on FH4 WC7 BB8 now. FH4 solves my hate for all GKs Sels

[slim bane]

As if sels doesn’t farm save points

Keepers turn into prime yashin against us istg

[lone thorn]

[slim bane]

Gakpo to Sarr and vdv to Munoz I suppose?

Assuming prices remain the same

But no reason to sell gakpo

Before burnley

So I guess it’s reindeer to 4.5

[latent depot]

Tark plays Leeds, Brighton, Wolves, West Ham with FH4 and Esteve covering GW5. Surely he'll keep 1 clean sheet 1 clean sheet + 3x DCs = 4.5ppm, which is enough

[bleak bison]

sell saka and gyok. Thats a max 4 points on sunday

[slim bane]

😭

[slim bane]

Are United gonna set up in a low block

[lone thorn]

Gabi gona farm those setpieces i can't wait

[bleak bison]

we'll leak more goals with a low block

so I hope we dont

[slim bane]

So mid block?

[bleak bison]

probably

but not sure how we'll set up against you

[slim bane]

I forgor what we’re worse against

[bleak bison]

our pre season games had us on front foot against opponents

[latent depot]

I'm going to be so tilted if it's VVD that wins a pen for being held on a set piece

[bleak bison]

but we'll probably give arsenal the ball on sunday

[lone thorn]

mid block

[bleak bison]

so I expect a low block

[slim bane]

Wonder if gyok changes that

[lone thorn]

hopefully

Zubi changes that too

[slim bane]

Oh fuck I should get gab in then

He’s always the one being held

cos he’s running in

The one where he keeps pushing against the defender and then when the ball is kicked he feints and gets into position to head

[bleak bison]

United are so fucked on corners

[latent depot]

I might WC7 to Raya/Gabriel/Gyokeres

Gabriel wins the pens, Gyokeres farms them

[bleak bison]

I probably wont WC but I want to get to here gw7

[slim bane]

Helpful to know who’s on pen duty before that

[bleak bison]

watkins having a good fixture makes it a bit difficult to move to gyok tho

[slim bane]

Only pen we had in preseason was with saka and gyok off the pitch

So ode took it

[lone thorn]

Romero will be so good for corners/pen wins aswell, lowkey considering Porro -> Romero

[wanton whale]

how many people do you think sign up before gw1

way less than last year

[latent depot]

Watkins has Burnley, Gyokeres has West Ham. Both relegation tier, so it's a wash. Arsenal obv better attack and Gyok prob has pens

[bleak bison]

always arsenal fans thinking about taking advantage of corners

[lone thorn]

i wish i could do 6atb😮‍💨

[humble dust]

[slim bane]

What do the tools say about reindeer v mateta for gw1

[bleak bison]

3.66 vs 3.74

On Solio

[slim bane]

Mateta better?

[bleak bison]

Reindeer 3.66

yes

[slim bane]

Why in fuck do I have reindeer then

[bleak bison]

but id play Reindeer

[slim bane]

Why?

[bleak bison]

just because its wolves and they are shit

[slim bane]

Why does solio have him lower tho

[bleak bison]

no pens

pen share always bumps players up

[prime plinth]

Deadline is at 3:30am Saturday for me...

[slim bane]

Gotcha

[slim bane]

1.30am for me

[bleak bison]

fplreview also have mateta higher

by 0.3

better mins too

[slim bane]

In that case I might not go with reindeer then

which 5.5 mid is a good cover for my spurs def in gw2

[bleak bison]

arias..?

bournemouth away

[slim bane]

Xhaka and arias 👀

🔒?

[limber pine]

Lmao

Not weird you’re team is that

Coz it’s in you’re name 😭😭

[slim bane]

Probably more aesthetic

[acoustic edge]

5/11 i’m cooked

[limber pine]

This is so bad honestly

[valid river]

That is very fair

I think if Rogers injured then I'll get RAN

4am transfer to RAN we will be there i guess

This team is perfect

[silent jasper]

Respect you on not going for any Pool attackers lol

[proud gale]

gang #fpl_polls message

[proud gale]

pretty ballsy

[jolly solstice]

Upz

[valid river]

Thanks goats

Still confused on what's happening with LMS

No teams made or anything

[lone thorn]

ffs i just went from no Haaland to no Salah

i thought i was #locked🔒

[valid river]

You bot

Why

[brittle frigate]

yo rate

[lone thorn]

ur on the same tho!?🙃

idk, i just felt smthn

[oak furnace]

that's why i have frimpong, can go him to Munoz to free up pool spot for isak

Lmao my messages were so behind

[oak furnace]

I'm considering ran over frimmers

[valid river]

Nuh uh

I mean you're right

Rogers to xhaka and eSteve to RAN if he's out

[lone thorn]

the voices told me Salah's gona fruad

[valid river]

I also hear voices

[oak furnace]

I'm definitely worried about him post gw1

he will haul gw1 as usual

[slim bane]

how are people coming in here randomly and then asking for ratings lol

use the proper rmt channel

[valid river]

Hahaha real

[valid river]

And then post a template asf team

[slim bane]

That’s not aligned with this threads agenda

[valid river]

Facts

[earnest torrent]

Honestly at some point we might need to migrate if new people keep joining in lmao

Overbloated

[prime plinth]

Please confirm eze

[oak furnace]

only ogs can rmt in this thread

[lone thorn]

just make one in #voice_chat_text

if u don't want it to be found

[oak furnace]

nah we need to reach 200k messages

[silent jasper]

yeah I think this is the right move

[lone thorn]

wait is 6m Dango lowkey an option now

[silent jasper]

maybe

[obtuse shoal]

Still think Ritter is better at 6m

[valid river]

Ritter 🥀

[lavish parcel]

It was a 50-50 between Saka and Bruno but saka is so much better at non-pen xgi

Would love to have Ekitike instead of Bowen if I could get myself to bring Petro in for Sels

But forest defence meta

I back Collins to get Defcon points with good fix and carry some threat from set pieces

And late pens could come into play for Saka if Gyokeres is subbed off for havertz

[oak furnace]

this is scary

I might end up on a salah haaland palmer draft

[waxen river]

Jp + mateta or Watkins + fullkrug

[valid river]

Evanilson+bowen

[kind egret]

Iwobi my timbers

idk who else to pick for that 6.5 pos

[latent depot]

Gakpo to Eze at Spurs GW3

[lone glade]

anyone have frimpong?

[latent depot]

Meta isn't high on 6 Def here

[earnest torrent]

could but i dont

[oak furnace]

i have him atm

[violet temple]

It's finally the day good luck to all of y'all 🔥

[oak furnace]

is eze to spurs confirmed?

[violet temple]

80% gonna get done

[lone glade]

this might be it for me

[violet temple]

By gw 2 I think

[copper hinge]

I'm thinking of starting the same 3 DEFs every week

[violet temple]

Can't say I dislike it cuz it's quite good

[waxen river]

That’s what I’m on set and forget

[violet temple]

if they're from a top 5 team it makes sense

[earnest torrent]

btw start petro or dubravka?

[violet temple]

cooked decision to be in

[waxen river]

Start dubravka if he doesn’t play petrovic comes on

[hallow anchor]

What I have ATM, out all day so may have to stick with it

[lone glade]

just find 0.5 and get sanchez ngl

[violet temple]

I still don't know what keeper to go for man

[earnest torrent]

aint that much 4.5 gks atp

[copper hinge]

Munoz cbit and winger, Murillo cbit, Milenkovic cbit

[lone glade]

sanchez is meta and set and forget

[earnest torrent]

nah id rather cucu

[violet temple]

I have 5m but idw go vic

[oak furnace]

nah valdi petro

[lone glade]

wait whos better murillo or milenkovic

[violet temple]

Murillo

[lone glade]

oh

[copper hinge]

Problem is if u want triple chelsea and not gk in the future

[violet temple]

still debating murillo romero vs neco porro

[copper hinge]

murillo cbit milenkovic bullet header

[violet temple]

Will never need that

[lone glade]

might get murillo then ngl

[copper hinge]

Then ur good

[lone glade]

both are 5.5 doesnt matter anyway

[violet temple]

Yeah

[copper hinge]

Who's ur 4th def?

[violet temple]

That's my team apart from the 4.5 rotation gk and the 7.5 striker it's more or less locked

I mean 5.0 gk

[lone glade]

nice team

maybe wirtz over marmoush

[waxen river]

I run 352 with 2 4.0s

I’m torn on mateta or jp

[violet temple]

where's the fun in that

[marsh palm]

JP

[earnest torrent]

probably my actual final draft

hopefully

[marsh palm]

is rogers fit?

or is villa's presser before the deadline

[hallow anchor]

What happened to everyone going 4/5 atb?

[copper hinge]

Tark happened for me

Or branthwaite

[hallow anchor]

Still

There's a bazillion other good premium defenders

[copper hinge]

None that I want

I had murillo milenko tark munoz

https://tenor.com/view/pep-guardiola-we-cannot-replace-him-pep-aguero-pep-we-cannot-replace-gif-21799207

[latent depot]

Tark was in everyone's squad and was that 4th/5th set and forget defender, hence the shift away from 4/5ATB

There are no replacements for a 5.5 defender who's expected to return 4.5+ ppm with a fit defence

[novel harbor]

ok i’ve cracked the code

[slim bane]

I should get millen + xhaka (bench) compared to Williams and reindeer (bench) right

[latent depot]

Both 5.5s are worth

When do you need bench to play

GW2?

[slim bane]

gw2

[latent depot]

Any others?

[slim bane]

GW4 maybe lol

To cover forest

Isn’t milli better than Williams

[latent depot]

Yeah put the 0.5 in the starter

[slim bane]

Settled then

[latent depot]

Don't hate KDH at 5.0

[slim bane]

Grealish tho

[lone glade]

https://tenor.com/view/cole-palmer-shh-be-quiet-shush-cfc-gif-4184117081923567390

[latent depot]

Xhaka will tick along at 3-4 depending on YC

[elder cargo]

Ye KDH will play as the 8 mostly, could still be alright but not that interesting

He is 5.0 after all

[slim bane]

His last pl season was much less yc

[latent depot]

KDH is 2-3 with occasional attacking return

Can't use Leverkusen to approximate for Sunderland

Bro will be tackling all over the place

[slim bane]

Depends on what role he plays

As a 6 I’m cooked

As a 8 not so much

[latent depot]

I think his CBITs will be good in both pivots, and he'll be tackling in both pivots

6 is worse cos he's expected to sit

[slim bane]

Yea

[latent depot]

Bro it's Sunderland, they're going in feet first and ask questions later

First derby vs Newcastle is going to be cinema

[slim bane]

just don’t get sent off on your return to PL

All I ask

[modest beacon]

how confident are you guiu drops to 4.4m?

[slim bane]

Too cold from lack of preseason

[violet temple]

Romeroooooooo

[slim bane]

Why

[violet temple]

Get Watkins over gyok and I like it

[modest beacon]

cuz you picked kroupi

[slim bane]

Yea

guiu wasn’t even playing

[slim bane]

Fairs

Club bias coming in for that one

[modest beacon]

if guiu doesnt start, he defo drops to 4.4, that saves 0.1m when you buy him later

or you not planning to buy him later?

[slim bane]

Yea that’s the idea

If it happens

On wc ofc

[cedar hull]

Guius training fwiw

Also wissa to Newcastle happening today

[modest beacon]

which gw are you using wc

[cedar hull]

Around 7/8 likely, but mostly building a strong team that could last longer than that idk

[latent depot]

What's the point of Palmer if he's just going to be my VC every GW? at least he's VAMP approved

[copper hinge]

Sarr vs KDH?

Spurs

[modest beacon]

yea i was thinking around the same time

[latent depot]

Which GWs do you need Sarr to play?

[rugged meteor]

frimpong + anderson or porro + rutter?

[latent depot]

Porro + Rutter cos xMins

[rugged meteor]

just asked the same, answer was sarr

inclined to agree

[cedar hull]

Are you trying to get rid of him to find 0.5

[copper hinge]

I've gone away from it already

[rugged meteor]

who do you think is not gonna get the minutes and does it matter as much for def/clean sheet points?

[latent depot]

@cedar hull You'll be happy to be informed that I'm once again 🔒 on FH4 WC7 BB8 now

[cedar hull]

Wtf

Switching it up for very 3 seconds

Can't keep up

[latent depot]

Waiting for BB13 sounded boring, season might be over by then

[cedar hull]

Triple forest Def I assume

I really wanna get dango

[latent depot]

Also I was moving away from WC7 BB8 and I'd rather have a solid BB and a solid FH than just a better FH and no BB plan

[cedar hull]

Yeah I guess

I'm just leaning towards making a robust team now

[violet temple]

So cold

[cedar hull]

Fh4 is just for forest or what else

[latent depot]

Avoids Watkins vs Tark and I'm on Bruno now

[cedar hull]

Luiz, omari, mcatee, kalimuendo all to forest lol

[novel harbor]

guys ive won fpl

[latent depot]

Basically I came up with 2 solutions to the shit GK situation. FH4 with Sels or Vicario/Dubravka rotation. The rotation is incredible but to maximize it, I have to WC8, but WC8 doesn't maximize Arsenal fix and I lose BB8

We're all OR1 currently

[novel harbor]

so based

send team king

[latent depot]

Esteve covers Porro GW2 and Tark GW5. Gakpo prob out GW3 to either Rogers or Eze at Spurs. 🦌 Prob out GW5 to 5.5 at Villa

I definitely anticipate 🦌 blank vs Arsenal and then rested vs Burnley before UCL

[cedar hull]

Kluivert trains next week now apparently

[latent depot]

9/11 starters justified by VAPM Porro +🦌 punts

[cedar hull]

451

[lavish parcel]

What's Saka vapm

[cedar hull]
