Teams can have a club captain who may be a bench player and a team captain who is a first team regular.

Hi guys, after a four or five years out, I've decided to give this a go again! Would love some critique as I'm rusty as hell and believe full backs are all the rage now...

GK: Guaita (Miazek)
DF: Ward, TAA, Davies, Walker-Peters (Lindelof)
MF: Mane, Havertz, S-Maximin (Doucoure, Romeu)
FW: Kane, Vardy, Richardson

Would love any top tips or must have cheap players as literally only reading up for first time today so am well behind...

For your keepers, go with a set and forget 8.5 combo from the same team. (Brighton for example)

Might be better 4.5 options than Ward, maybe a Leeds asset. Same with Linedlof, he'll never be a goal threat and United missing GW1.

Doucoure is pricey at 5.5, Soucek at 5.0 at WHU had a good end of season and might allow you to upgrade 0.5 elsewhere.

Havertz may not start GW1 so something to bear in mind. Aubameyang is now a MF but an expensive one at that. One of the first players I wanted in personally.

You could downgrade Richarlison to Adams (6.0) and upgrade elsewhere too.

Your choice of Kane and Vardy up top I like. GL.

Going with a strong enough bench this year. Downgraded Ings to Batshuyai to free up money for defenders. I also fancy Batshuyai to start strongly. He finished last season in good form and scored for Belgium last week.


Ramsdale (Nyland)

Robertson, Hegazi, Bavies (Egan, Walker-Peters)

Auba, Son, Salah, St Maxim (Ceballos)

Mitrovic, Werner*, Batshuyai


* I know barely anything about Werner but his % ownership is ridiculous and I need Chelsea cover

I rate Richarlison actually. I wouldnt get rid of him.

Think he will have a super season with an actual midfield behind him. I reckon he will get 18-20 goals. He got 13 goals last season having to deal with a change in manager and one of the worst midfields in the league.

This year he has literally a whole new midfield behind him. And a world class manager able to bring in his own signings and shape the squad as he wants it.

Ok after a few more drafts, I'm down to what combination for my last 15.5m for a defender, midfielder and forward.
My current thoughts are Keane (5) or Thomas (4.5) in defence, Henderson (5.5) or Soucek (5) in midfield and Bamford (5.5) or Mitrovic (6) up front, any views?

TheBigEvil

Still deciding....but here is my nearly final draft

McCarthy (Ryan)
KWP, B.Davies, Egan (Dunk, Dallas)
Mane, AUBA, Rodrigez, Havertz, Soucek
Werner, Richarilson (Brewster)

Plan on going with 3-5-2. Brewester is just fodder unless he moves to a Prem club.

Just a few notes. Double Everton attack is risky, could pay off but it wouldn't be for me.
No Liverpool defence could really hurt you. Especially if you're up against the guys who are tripling up. Again it could work, but I highly doubt it.
I'd prefer TAA/Mitro over Egan/Richarlison. Or downgrade Rodriguez until we see how he adapts.

Who takes Coleman's place? Kenny?
I think they will probably share minutes but Coleman should start more often than not.

McCarthy

VVD Trent Doherty

Saka Salah Rodriguez Traore

Werner Vardy Antonio

Bench: Ryan(K), McCarthy, and 2 x non runners

Thoughts?

Cheers, thanks for the feedback. I'm just not seeing the 7m+ for the Liverpool defenders as good value. Those doubling or tripling up on them I think is mental, considering they are not keeping clean sheets. No cleansheet in last 5 league games and only 1 in preseason.

Add to the fact they haven't really spent in transfer market, and there will be two games a week until end of season, I can See TAA/Robbo being rotated quite a bit, especially when CL comes around.

But, I'll keep tinkering

This game is all about going with your instincts. We're here to advise and help, but if you feel confident in going without any LIV defence, good man. We all have our own strategies.

I do however feel that taking the last few games of the season (after they had already won the league) is a bad sample tbh. Preseason even moreso.

TAA and Robbo ended the season on more points than any 7.5 mids I'm pretty sure. They also play in different positions.

So that's kinda contradictory to say they haven't signed anyone, but you see them being rotated often. They don't have much competition really.

yourdeadwright

i'm done and sticking with

Mccarthy

Robbo , Davies, James

Soucek, EPA , Son ,Saka, Salah

Werner , Wilson

Going without Werner might be a good strategy!

If he doesn’t fire early, high potential to get a jump on the ~50% other teams!

Plan to draft in one of the United big hitters in GW2, and trying to figure out where I could bring in a KDB or Sterling, if needed.

Made a couple of final changes, and plan to stick with it before deadline:

Bissouma and Douglas in for Reed and Struijk.

Happiest I have been with a team in a long time, although Salisu is an unknown entity really in terms of points potential.

It's actually the toughest bit isn't it? I assume all 3 need to play.

I'd slot the defender in last, lots of 4.5/5m contenders.

For Mids/Fwds I think you're looking at Southampton/Newcastle/West Ham (promoted teams more risk/reward). I've currently gone Soucek/Adams with a 4.5 defender at present, with the caveat, that Soucek missed a week of training

Benimar

Think I have 12 of 15 locked in(ha:pac:) so my last 3 are:

A. Ward (or other 4.5), Saint Maximin, Kane

B. Egan, Son, Wilson

B for me.

Primarily because I think Palace may well be awful - and Ward will be displaced by Ferguson in time

Pete_Cavan

Leaning towards;

Ryan Johnstone (maybe Martinez if he looks like signing for Villa)

Robbo KWP Justin Lewis Mitchel

Auba Salah Mane JWP Ceballos

Werner Robinson Davies (was hoping Brewster would be with another Prem club by now)

4 5 1 to start with. Heavy on premium mids and light up front as a result, Brewtser not having moved yet is an issue. Mane will switch to KDB for GW2 which also gives me an extra 0.5 to play with after. I think it good to start with premiums as it is easy then to switch to cheaper players if needed, going from cheaper to premium generally costs transfer points. I always cover 7 different clubs across the keepers/defense and rotate based on fixtures. Lack of a nailed on 4.0 defender is an issue this season.

I'm not worried about ManU players for GW2, I'll get one later if necessary. Not too keen on Spurs either, Everton could be a tougher nut to crack this season and they have a crazy schedule after that. There are lots of potential good value 7.5 - 9.5 mids who could be very good value but rather than taking a punt, I'll wait for someone to reveal themselves. I'll start with the proven big hitters and go from there.

First 2 games certainly aren't easy. New players have had very little time together. You'd probably want to be strategizing to get him in for gw3 or gw4 though, and have a contingency plan to get him in earlier in case he gets off to a flier.

Werner and Havertz are the only of Chelsea's new signings available this weekend, and Havertz hasn't been there long so may not start. Werner could be the only change from last season and he has been training with them for a good while so will have integrated into the system.

I think in Kane & Vardy (both also with nice fixtures) you have very good alternatives and obviously can easily switch to Werner based on form / fixtures.

I’m looking at it more so from a risk / reward perspective.

48% of teams is an insane number for a new PL player!

patmac

Yeah but Werner has already played for Chelsea against Brighton and scored, him TAA, Salah and Ings were the first names on my team. Currently On
McCarthy (Nyland)
TAA, KWP, Vinagre, (Mitchell, Shaw)
Salah(c), Auba, Soucek, Ali (Bassouma)
Werner,Antonio,Ings
Think Shaw is the more exciting of Utds defenders and can trade Salah, Ali or Werner for Bruno, Rashford or Martial. Might do Lascelles instead of KWP to avoid a Saints-treble up

ThunbergsAreGo

Almost there

McCarthy, Nyland

TAA, Robbo, Davies, Lascelles/James, Taylor

Salah, Auba, ASM, Soucek, Ali

Mitro, Werner, Davies

Final Decision
Lascelles and .5m or James?

James
Better Team
More assist potential

Rotation Risk

Lacelles
More goal threat
steps 5 at the back temptation
allows 0.5m to allow for price rises - Ali to Havertz or Mitro to Wilson
Nailed on
Worse team
No assist potential

SkySter

Ryan (Steer)
Saliba Walker-Peters TAA Justin (Dallas)
ASM Salah Auba Son (Reed)
Ings Werner Davis

.5 ITB allows Ings to Martial GW2

Saliba is a punt, but I think he's going to start. 4.5 is great value for Arsenal defensive cover which I think will be much improved this season.

j timber

Getting near my final team after a lot of messing around.. here goes feel free to tell me what is wrong...

Ryan Martin

Egan Robertson Douglas Vinegare Branthwaite

Son Auba Salah St Maximum Stephens

Inga. Werner. Mitrovic..

I am looking at Vinegare in defence at being moved out as there is talk of a transfer..any ideas who to replace him with?

sligolad1

Thoughts on this squad? Any help appreciated!

McCarthy; Nyland

Alexander-Arnold, Davies, Saliba, Egan, Mitchell

Fernandes, De Bruyne, Grealish, McCarthy, Aubameyang

4 players not starting gameweek one. So your formation will be 5/3/2.

Porthallian

Final decisions. Ings + 4.5mid or Pulisic + 4.5 FW?
Also have Werner.

Other one is the best 6m FW. Have Mitro.
But if I go without Ings, maybe switch to Adams?
