It's finally here!

FHFC

Will be switching off wifi and data tomorrow and waiting for motd to see the results.

This really is much less stressful and leads to a much more enjoyable Saturday, well for anyone with kids at least. .Anyone on board for this club this year?

Nope, watching six matches live tomorrow while popping in here and wouldn't have it any other way

What's the boards.ie code?

No kids here, but I am attending my parents wedding anniversary (40 years) and they will ask some questions

Have a flight from Dublin at 6pm, will watch first match at home and 3pm at the airport.

First time ever I don't mind wasting my time at the airport

Lack of Spurs and Ibra is a concern.

1.5m emergency fund in the bank just in case.

siblers

Went with Rondon cause of WBA's favourable fixtures, had zero interest in Aguero but he is all the rage in here so figured why not. Not happy with my lack of Arsenal, Everton and West Ham but I'm so out of the loop that i'm just taking a punt

internet_user

I'm out in America for the summer so pretty much out of the loop in terms of fpl and football in general so I've been trying to catch up the last few days! Going with this lot to start my season

Any Arsenal fans able to give me a rating on Iwobi starting for 2/3 gameweeks?

Hell no! Hearing the beep of an app as my players score is the best part of the game for me.

What do we think of martial I've just put him in my team. How did he play in the charity shield last week.

I think the real reason is he wants to build up to the excitement of seeing Lineker in the nip on motd :pac:

I thought he played quite well. Always looks very dangerous when he drives towards the box from the left wing

Was just thinking as he is now a mid you can add 25 points to his score from last season. 11 goals and 14 clean sheets he will be getting an extra point for those this season. I think I'm going to go with him. Last decision now is Costa or vardy. I've no Chelsea or Leicester coverage.

Valencia Stones Evans Amat Kingsley
Hazard Mahrez Alli Redmond Phillips

Gone with Messi Phillips as a punt.

Vardy and bring in Costa when you see how they look. That's how I'm rolling.

It could easily take 2/3 weeks for things to settle with signings still to be made, new managers to bed in and players coming back after the Euros.

Cracking points so late in the pre season selection dilemma we are all in. Clean sheet points never even crossed my mine when looking at him.

352 or 343? Nearly set on 352 with no Zlatan, too expensive for me so went with Vardy and lad from Hull for 4.5.

Very tempted to go Ibra + Mahrez to Martial + Vardy

Lemlin

Have tried to keep things pretty balanced:

Dea Gea (Jakupovic)
Stones, Valencia, van Dijk (Evans, Friend)
Hazard, Firmino, Redmond, Townsend (Capoue)
Aguero, Vardy, Gray

Double Boro defence.... Good luck!!

Necronomicon

Okay, I am 99% sure this is how I'll line up. I am a little bit wary of how budget I've gone in defence, but having Hazard/Sanchez/Aguero/Vardy in my team was too tempting.

Heaton
Soauré Evans Friend
Hazard Sanchez Firmino Redmond
Gray Aguero(c) Vardy

Jakupovic, Capoue, Amat, Kone

dahat

Redmond + Firmino
Or
Tadic + Townsend


My last dilemma...

Chesty08

Lining up as follows :

Heaton

Valencia Fuchs NSue

Hazard Firmino Tadic Lamela

Aguero (c) Vardy Gray

Subs: Jako Capoue Amat Smith

Kind of. I live in Australia and I can only watch the early kick-offs live. So I'll be asleep when most of the action is happening.

Very little Musa love here, he could destroy Hull today if starting

Ya think? Tadic been in my draft since beginning but both Redmond and Firmino could be playing up top so that's a big plus.

Here we go again!

Heaton

Bailly VVD Friend

Redmond Mahrez Coutinho Hazard (V) Wanyama

Ibra Aguero (C)

Bench of Jaku Diomande Pocognoli Amat

spock.

Don't start Wanymana. Diomande or Amat are more likely to score points

2nd Row Donkey

Jesus this game.

I was dreaming all night that the 11.30 deadline was looming the team news was out and I needed to make some last minute changes to my team but I couldn't find my phone.

I could see the phone but I couldn't reach it it was always just out if reach and everything was in slow motion and I had this terrible feeling of dread and anxiousness all night.

That's why I went with them too.



... But as a spurs fan I'm probably swayed against Townsend as much as anything.

I had Tadic from day 1 too and only replaced him with Redmond last night. It's a decision I'm not comfortable with.

Rikand

Finally took MickyTarzan out of my team and now I have the fear.

TacT

Went and ditched Wanywama for Watson as bench fodder in order to upgrade VVD to Alderweireld and I'm not touching anything else. Started Amat for watson in a 4-4-2.

Err, you mean 11:30 I assume?

Mike Ehrmantraut

So much for my self imposed ban on all things FPL for this morning. Now, as long as there's no last minute panic transfers, I'll be starting with...

Heaton (Jakupovic)

Shaw, Stones, Friend (Amat, Kone)

Mahrez, Tadic, Lamela, Firmino (Capoue)

Ibra(vc), Aguero(c), Gray

Good luck to all
