RATE MY TEAM im on the edge to lose my mental stability

[crisp vale]

And have a great day guys

[fair geode]

Looks good, I don’t personally like Joao Pedro but he’s a fine option.

Would be worried about his xMins going forward

I like Malen or potentially Dewsbury Hall instead of Adingra

Again that’s subjective though, good team overall

[crisp vale]

4 at the back is good for defcon points or not because it's only 2 points

[fair geode]

I think it’s fine yeah. VDV probably doesn’t get great points for defcon though so I might be influenced to play a mid there instead

You could takeaway Adingra and turn him into another premium defender if you want to defcon hunt

[crisp vale]

So maybe milekovic instead of vvd
And play a mid instead of Van de ven

[crisp vale]

Do u think defcon > goal contributions

[fair thunder]

Defcon raises the floor

Goalcon is for a higher ceiling

[crisp vale]

YOO I get u

So defcon increases the granted points i can get say maybe 20

[crisp vale]

And goalcon increases the max i can get say 100 it's like gambling but defcon is granted by high chance

Right?

[fair thunder]

high chance not rly

eg in most preseason games so far maybe only about 2-3 players at best get it per game

[crisp vale]

The goalcon right?

[fair thunder]

Defcon

[crisp vale]

Yeah ofc the center back usually get it

And sometimes if it's a top match liverpool vs city or smth

More players get it

[crisp vale]

@thin moon

[thin moon]

Yeah I’d probably downgrade vvd to a forest defender I personally went for vicario in goal with kinsky as backup and replace vdv with awb

[crisp vale]

i dont trust west ham defence
maybe vvd to milenkovic what do u think
i personally got him cuz it will be easily to switch him to another 6mil defender and liverpool cs and he might get some goals too but milenkovic got more goals than him last season
what do u think

i was considering vvd to gabriel in gw7 or smth

[thin moon]

Yeah milenkovic for vvd I don’t really like the look of the gws 2 and 3 for vvd I skipped personally for murillo

Actually I switched up vicario now thinking of it and went triple forest defense

[crisp vale]

vvd will get high defcons against top clubs cuz they will attack so much but lower cs probability is here

i cant full cap

i was gonna say 3 forest defenders is soo fire

[thin moon]

Yeah I seen that I wanted to go for it so bad so I went with it

[crisp vale]

and the opposite will happen against mid table teams

they might not get past the midfield so the midfielders gravenberch will get the defcon

[crisp vale]

great

so u think vvd to milenkovic?

[thin moon]

Yeah that’s what I’d do

[crisp vale]

alr

also halaand or salah

[crisp vale]

what do u prefer

[thin moon]

I prefer Murillo bc of his defensive contributions but I think milenkovic is more attacking it’s a 50/50 side

[crisp vale]

i already have him

so that would be double forest defence

[thin moon]

I have both but I prefer salah

[crisp vale]

to cover both defcon and goal contrubitions

[thin moon]

Wait who do I prefer out of what

[crisp vale]

i prefered him too but look at what i found

[crisp vale]

salah and halaand

[thin moon]

Oh yeah salah

[thin moon]

I have both but prefer salah

I mean it’s hard to say with that never really looked into stats like that

[crisp vale]

worst season for halaand was 9 goals in 5 games

[crisp vale]

me too i was going with salah no chance to change my mind

but i found this

[thin moon]

Yeah it’s hard to say with that now

[crisp vale]

i just changed wirtz to gakpo

what do u think of that

[thin moon]

I haven’t really looked into gakpo really but he looked good today scored 3 goals if you count the own goal gakpo is more prem proven tho that is the thing

[crisp vale]

exactlyyy

i was going for him cuz luis diaz left and there is no more rotation but i saw everyone going for wirtz

and gakpo played as a striker so hes used to finishing

[thin moon]

Yeah it is a good option to have him cost less I think also

[crisp vale]

and hes tall he recieves salah crosses and head it in

[thin moon]

Ive been seeing a lot of ppl picking him up around the server too

[crisp vale]

yeah 1 mil difference

so u prefer gakpo our wirtz

[thin moon]

Yeah that’s what I prefer now I never really preferred Wirtz better gakpo is better now

[crisp vale]

look i got extra 1.5 m now

who should i upgrade

[thin moon]

Adingra

[crisp vale]

7 million option then

[thin moon]

Get ndiaye as a 6.5 option and upgrade esteve to a 4.5m

Ndiaye on pens and just scored yesterday in summer series

[crisp vale]

ndiaye or kudus or anderson for defcon points but i have to switch wood to solanke or something

[thin moon]

Get ndiaye and get a 4.5 defender like diouf

Senesi is also nailed

[crisp vale]

BRO

why i keep seeing diouf everywhere man

[thin moon]

I even have him

[crisp vale]

why

[thin moon]

Attacking

He got an assist the way he was playing against Bournemouth

And also lesser owned

[crisp vale]

ohh i see

@thin moon what do u think bro

sorry for the mention too if it annoyed u

[thin moon]

It’s good switch kroupi for Guiu

[crisp vale]

i have 3 from chelsea

and in the app guiu is still in chelsea

[thin moon]

Oh but change him to him whenever he’s added to sunderland

[crisp vale]

alr bet

do u think its all good now

thats my starting 11

[thin moon]

Yeah

[nimble flame]

haaland is always so good at the start of the season

[crisp vale]

I know but salah got much more ownership im afraid if he got 1 point more than haaland I'll fall down in rank soo much

[nimble flame]

that's true but then if he blanks and haaland scores you gonna be ahead of everyone

it's a gamble

[deft sierra]

Half red half blue ahh team

[crisp vale]

Istg 🥀

[crisp vale]

Right

Shii

Idk what to do man

Wtf

[nimble flame]

I'm favouring haaland tbh

[steep lion]

The team looks good the bench is kinda weak and pedro is a risk option bc of his minutes

[nimble flame]

I did last year I fell behind loads at the start cos no salah but I climbed up to the top 50k at one point

[steep lion]

This is better

[crisp vale]

Yeah alst year i choose halaand

[nimble flame]

then I forgot about fpl half way through the year and ended up like 1 mil but still

[crisp vale]

Yeah that's my final team till now
Wirtz to gakpo
Virgil to milenkovic
Adingra to ndiaye

[crisp vale]

Soo what do u think

[steep lion]

Nice

[crisp vale]

Start with halaand then get salah

[crisp vale]

U dont have any other recommendations?

[nimble flame]

well I'm starting with haaland but doesn't mean u should get salah cos haaland might be better

[crisp vale]

And thank u too

[crisp vale]

Did u do it out of stats or just a gamble

[steep lion]

Well pedro is kind of a risk

[crisp vale]

Ik i just want him to start then delap comes in after the 70th minute of smth

But I don't wanna delap to start

[nimble flame]

gut feeling and stats too and also salah can't have a season like last every season so I don't think he's gonna score as much plus with Liverpool new players like wirtz etc I think he doesn't need to score as much

[crisp vale]

But I think Pedro will start

[steep lion]

He wont pedro was good on cwc

[crisp vale]

Yeah exactly

And fantastic fixtures

And he plays crazyy good next to palmer

[steep lion]

Yes pedro wont play 90mins but he doesnt need 90mins to score

[crisp vale]

Ofc I wanna gamble with him

[steep lion]

Hes gonna play at least 70

[crisp vale]

Like 70 or smth is alright

But I just need him to start

[crisp vale]

Do u think its good to risk it?

Or get solanke or watkins instead

[steep lion]

Yes i think so

I know a lot of ppl that risk that

[crisp vale]

Solanke was shiiii last season

[steep lion]

Solanke fitness ? And watkins is good

[crisp vale]

But fixtures is crazyy good

[crisp vale]

Yeah he's injured but will be back on gw1

And if he played against psg high chance he won't start in gw1

[steep lion]

Yea so fitness wise not starting imidietly

[crisp vale]

So no solanke

[steep lion]

Thats a gamble too

[crisp vale]

Yeah I dont think i like him

Also malen is soo good

[steep lion]

Im gonna get him probs

[crisp vale]

yeah go for it

[crisp vale]

These r my locked in players

Any recommendations

Yall opinions matter

[deft sierra]

I mean its good but woood idk

[crisp vale]

What about the rest

[deft sierra]

U alr have one forest defender no need for another

Konsa and van de ven good

Maybe instead of van de ven get wan bissaka

[crisp vale]

So milekovic to Van dijk or kerkez??

[deft sierra]

Yea

U can downgrade gakpo to cherki if he starts

Then can upgrade one of ur attackers or get a decent bench midfielder

[crisp vale]

No i don't really want anyone from city

Soo rotational

[swift crag]

Very similar to my draft. I don't rate chelsea's defence. Sels a much better choice imo.

And I would use the adingra funds to upgrade wood.

Vdv also not a great choice

[crisp vale]

Only halaand nailed and maybe gvardiol too

[crisp vale]

I would have 2 forest defenders? Is that okay

[swift crag]

I have tripled up on forest defence. So I don't see any issue with doubling up on them.

[crisp vale]

That might hurt if they lose the cs

I prefer balance

[swift crag]

The way I see it. I am expecting them to keep at least 2 CS in the first 5. I am hoping for 3 and anything over that is a bonus.

[crisp vale]

Who's replacement to vdv

[swift crag]

Just have a look at my draft here #1402365731043020951

We have very similar teams

I don't like spending the funds on the bench

[crisp vale]

shi I can't caps

Yeah thats crazyy we have similar teams

We think alike

U have great ball knowledge

[swift crag]

Do you wanna play 3-5-2 or 4-4-2?

[crisp vale]

Im sure I will choose only 2 strikers

4 defenders i think maybe

[swift crag]

That i can see.

[crisp vale]

Idk I didnt decide yet

But this season's cbit and defcons points

Is soo good

Why u chose ait nouri?

[swift crag]

Answer this then

Who among the following do you think will score the highest point in the first 5 GWs.

1. Konsa

2. Vdv

3. Ndiaye

4. Ait nouri

5. VVD

[crisp vale]

He might be rotated

[crisp vale]

Let me think

[swift crag]

He has played every pre-season game. I don't where's this coming from?

[crisp vale]

Everton's attack isn't that much tbh

Maybe 1 or 2 goals

[crisp vale]

Idk I don't really trust pep's mind

[crisp vale]

Not konsa he's a 2 or 6 points merchant

[swift crag]

Let's say the worst happens. In that case I get esteve points

[crisp vale]

Right

[swift crag]

The ceiling with RAN is the highest

That's why I went for him.

[crisp vale]

Can u explain to me what is ceiling and floor terms in fpl

I see ppl say it

Ig it means like the max u can get

And floor is the minimal granteed right?

[swift crag]

Exactly

Ran's ceiling is highest because city are likely to win games 4-0 5-0 with him involved

[crisp vale]

Im not sure but konsa will be the last

Like least scoring

He's stale like no cbit or goal involvements

Just cs

How much is Ramsey btw

[swift crag]

4.5

[crisp vale]

Ohh its hard

[frigid needle]

Should I check this one?

[frigid needle]

Oh alr

[frigid needle]

If u really want double forest id get N Williams

For either

[crisp vale]

Yeah all of those players r locked up but im not soo sure about jp

And the rest i don't know

[crisp vale]

Maybe Sanchez to sels?

[frigid needle]

Wood really over performed his xG

So he is a risk

[frigid needle]

No Sanchez is fine imo

[crisp vale]

Hiw?

Isn't that good that he scores from low xg

[frigid needle]

Not at this rate

Normally yes

But xG of 13 compared to 20 goals

Is just too big of a difference

No one can do that consistently

Midfield looks good

And yk what I think of JP

[crisp vale]

I was going to do milekovic to vvd

To have balance at the start

Then double up of any defence when the season starts

[frigid needle]

That works

[crisp vale]

Do u think i should get sels instead of Sanchez?

Or just have balance at the start?

[frigid needle]

Having Sanchez is fine imo

Im also still deciding on my gk

[crisp vale]

Alright bet

[frigid needle]

Wanna take a look at my team now that we r doing this anyway?

[crisp vale]

Ofc sure bro

Can I also add u to discuss anything about fpl later

[frigid needle]

Is it okay with u if I send it here?

[frigid needle]

Sure

[crisp vale]

Yeah ofc

[frigid needle]

This is it rn

Colwill could downgrade to Konsa for different gk

[crisp vale]

Thats solid

But I don't trust Brentford

[frigid needle]

Same thats why I wanna get rid of him

[crisp vale]

No more frank no mbuemo nosgraad or whatever and others

[crisp vale]

Yeah do it

All 4.5 mil gks r shii

[frigid needle]

Got Sels

Im surprised at how good their fixtures r

[crisp vale]

Yeah they r good

Idk if I should too

[swift crag]

And look at how shit saliba's fixtures are

[frigid needle]

Yeah he can be any 6m defender tbh

[swift crag]

Only leeds look like a CS in the first 6 GWs

[frigid needle]

Prob will end up being vvd

[crisp vale]

I was gonna say that 😭😭

Yeah their fixtures rnt that good either

But they r mid

Newcastle then arsenal back to back

But I'll have him anyways

[frigid needle]

Its Liverpool tho

[crisp vale]

Exactly

Thays why ill have him anyways

[swift crag]

One change I will definitely make is getting Rogers ahead of ndiaye. Just .5m more and such a huge improvement

[frigid needle]

Its not as much of an improvement really

Ndiaye is on pens

Decent for dc

And good goal threat

[crisp vale]

Watkins will do the job

[swift crag]

I get that.

[frigid needle]

With Rogers this would be the team

[swift crag]

I definitely want one of rogers or Watkins in the team.

I get so tempted by Gyok that I might end up dumping Watkins

[frigid needle]

Honestly

I see Gyokeres as Bas Dost with better PR

[crisp vale]

Much better than the first one

[crisp vale]

I will def get him starting in gw7

Starting from**

[frigid needle]

And Arsenal fixtures r so shit that u can just check what he does

And if u have Watkins u can easily get him in

[crisp vale]

😂😂

[crisp vale]

Yeah ill pr9bably do get watkins in

Im trying to figure out how

[frigid needle]

I also have my doubts abt Welbeck

Even tho he has a good preseason

[crisp vale]

The opening fixtures ain't that good

I wouldn't pick him

I just don't like him

[frigid needle]

He is cheap

Thats my whole reasoning for him

[crisp vale]

Ik

But u could use his money to get something muchbetyer

[swift crag]

Do you guys like the 7.5 fwds?

Wood might not reproduce last year's over performance.

JP is a minutes risk.

Solanke hasn't played much in pre-season and I heard some saying he doesn't suit thomas frank's system

[crisp vale]

No i dont

I just like jp performance with palmer

Crazyy duo

[swift crag]

I have a way to convert wood to Watkins but then you and me will have identical teams lol

[crisp vale]

😭😭😭😭

[frigid needle]

Only Solanke

[crisp vale]

I have to downgrade vvd again

Guys
Milekovic murillo Tarkowski konsa vdv

Or replace Milekovic with vvd and konsa or vdv with esteve

@frigid needle @swift crag

Sorry for the mention

[frigid needle]

Hm

Second option

[hollow valve]

To heavy on liverpool

[crisp vale]

These r my locked up platers

[hollow valve]

Also get Guiu instead of that bournemouth fwd

[hollow valve]

Gakpo for Wirtz is good

[astral fossil]

Agree, especially in the first 3 GWs.

[crisp vale]

Guiu is still in chelsea in the app

[astral fossil]

He can't yet :DD still in Chelsea

[crisp vale]

I already have 3 from chelsea

[hollow valve]

Oh yeah lool

[crisp vale]

Yeah

[hollow valve]

Btw Dubravka’s likely to go to Burnley so get him in for darlow

[astral fossil]

Lacroix instead of Milenkovic

[crisp vale]

Really wow okay

[hollow valve]

I’d do Milenkovic to Neco williams, JP or Wood to Bowen

[crisp vale]

thanks

[hollow valve]

Also get konsa out

[crisp vale]

To who

[hollow valve]

For a WHU or Palace defender

[crisp vale]

West ham defence?

[hollow valve]

Yeah

[crisp vale]

Ofc awb but why west ham

[hollow valve]

Diouf and AWB will be extremely advanced

And they have a great opening fixture

[crisp vale]

But west ham defence isn't that good?

[astral fossil]

Doesn't matter. Aston Villa defence is not good either

[hollow valve]

Which means more dc

Also villa have a horrible defense too

[crisp vale]

right

[hollow valve]

Palace have a decent def though

[astral fossil]

But Diouf and AWB will be more attacking.

With Diouf more As, with AWB more DEFCON

[hollow valve]

Exactly

[crisp vale]

Defcon better floor

Assets better ceilinf

What do yall recommend

[hollow valve]

50/50 honestly

Go with your gut feeling on this one

[crisp vale]

No any other recommendations

[astral fossil]

AWB PL proven

[crisp vale]

Yeah right

[astral fossil]

Diouf looked like a beast in preseason

[crisp vale]

Soo konsa out to awb

[hollow valve]

Yeah that’s good

[hollow valve]

He literally played Lw too

[crisp vale]

Then jroupi Jr to guiu

Then what

[hollow valve]

Honestly get diouf not guiu

[hollow valve]

Do you have enough money to confirm

[astral fossil]

send nudes

I mean FPL squad

dumb autocorrect

[crisp vale]

😂😂😂😂

[crisp vale]

Ofc ofc

[crisp vale]

I have enough

Thats the same price

Kroupi jr to guiu
Konsa to awb

Any other recommendations

[hollow valve]

Confirm then

[astral fossil]

What happened to Milenkovic?

[crisp vale]

To konate ig

[astral fossil]

You'll be back at "too heavy at Lpool"

Also they don't do DEFCON that much.

[hollow valve]

Nahhh

[crisp vale]

Or what

[hollow valve]

Neco Williams or a Crystal Palace CB

[crisp vale]

I wanna also do wood to watkins

[hollow valve]

Preferably Lacroix

[hollow valve]

That’s a big upgrade though

[astral fossil]

Yeah. But if you have rotation for him on GW 1 and 3 ig.

[hollow valve]

Do wood to Bowen trust me

[crisp vale]

Ik

[crisp vale]

I dont like west ham

[astral fossil]

noone does

But you have to forget that in FPL.

[crisp vale]

Nah like i don't like the team

[astral fossil]

I understand you. But Bowen is exceptional for his price.

[crisp vale]

I get u

[astral fossil]

His fixtures are not shining bright tho

If you find funds for Watkins, not a bad option. But who are you losing to get him?

[crisp vale]

Maybe ndaiye

These r my locked up ig

Do u think its enough to have rogers

And forget about watkins

[astral fossil]

i am not counting shit at 4:05 xd

[astral fossil]

I can't. He's lovely and essential in my squad xd

kay guys, was fun, but it's long overdue. good night, don't worry too much. You'll change your team at least 4 times from now.

[crisp vale]

Alr bro good night

Sorry if I took much from ur time
