True that is the optimum combination. I just really like Greenwood’s price for such a good finisher in a top 4 team but I will whip him out if a major signing comes in.

Yeah he looks like he could be great value. Are you just going to bench him for gameweek 1?

Benching him gw 1 and transfer in Bruno gw 2.

Kane/Son or Ings/Auba?? for 1st few GW

Any concerns for Ziyech not starting GW1?
Seeing him in a few drafts still (Including my own)

Think it was a knee injury but he did walk off the pitch after it

ShimSlady

I've read there is a possibility Pulisic is not fit for the first few games and not sure about the game time for Bernardo and Douglas but looks like a strong selection to me.

I think I saw on Sky Sports News that Bernardo has been linked with a move away to a Turkish club. Istanbul Basasekhir I think, probably butchered the spelling.

My first draft - any feedback welcome.

Keepers: Nyland, Patrico,

Defenders: Pieters, Mitchell, Douglas, Walker-Pieters, Diop,

Midfield: Mount, Salah, De Bruyne, Saint Maximin, Son

Forwards: Werner, Mitrovic, Jimenez


Separate question - do people think Augero / Jesus are likely to be rotated too much to be considered a reliable bet. I don't have them in my side currently but just expecting a strong man city showing this year so considering if i should try and fit Jesus in somehow maybe but then I don't think there's a clear #1 there for this season.

Pieters and Douglas may not be first choices and have limited game time and Diop plays for West Ham who have a very rough run of games at the start of the season.



Man City have no game in week 1 so I'm not including any of their players until I play an early wildcard or just bring in De Bruyne. Rotation is making me think De Bruyne might be my only Man City player but if Aguero got injured again I would consider bringing in Jesus.

Saliba didn't play in community shield. Any reason to think he plays in PL? Holding possibly leaving perhaps?

manual_man

Strongly considering going without any premium players. Currently on this:

McCarthy 4.0
TAA Doherty Vinagre Tierney 4.0
Son Alli Ziyech Greenwood 4.5
Werner Ings Jimenez

0.5 i.t.b. for a little flexibility - Ings/Jimenez to Martial or Alli/Ziyeche to Pulisic/Mahrez etc. etc.

Sokratis & Mustafi rumored to be leaving also. But they did sign a Gabriel, a CB from Valenica

Could be Luiz and Gabriel starting, and Saliba as back-up

Saliba is only 19, don’t see anyway he’s a starter

He will start if Holding goes on loan. Gabriel is in quarantine and hasn't trained yet and Mari, Chambers and Mustafi are all injured. That just leaves him and Luiz.

GetWithIt

Johnstone, Steer
TAA, Vinagre, Bertrand, Johnson, Mitchell
Salah, Auba, Saint-Maximin, Pereira, Greenwood
Jimi, Antonio, Ings

I usually start the season with the bare minimum on the bench but feel a conservative approach is warranted this year with a skinny GW1 and the spectre of COVID. Want to hold the wildcard.

Was settled for about a week with a plan to leave money on the bench and bring in Fernandes for whoever failed the eye test between Pereira, Saint-Maximin and Saka. Utd can’t get the number of penalties they did last year. Take that away and there isn’t a 3 million difference between Fernandes and Greenwood. So swapped Brewster, Saka and money for Greenwood and Jimi.

I think Southampton will do well this year and FPL is sometimes about identifying which teams will over-achieve. If that’s the case then I hope Bertrand is worth the extra 0.5.

I’ve no love for Vinagre so could be easily swayed there.

They signed a Gabriel from Lille.
Different guy to the Gabriel they sold to Valencia a few seasons ago.

I was caught out with that one, when i seen they were in for Gabriel, thought it was odd they were re-signing him.

Agree on Southampton. Anyone going for Djenepo? He looked lively early last season, at that price he could be a useful asset.

I'd avoid for GW1 for certain.

I'd give a few weeks, I don't think he starts in the strongest xi.

Below is the line up from Southampton's 2 60 minute friendlies last week.

First and second 30 XI looks to be strongest line up. Onlt obvious change would New signing Salisu would be in at CB.

Redmond, Armstrong, Adams had good ends to the season I'd guess they'll continue to start.

Long/Obafemi/Djenepo would be the ones vying against them for a starting spot.



FIRST and SECOND 30

Team: McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand; Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond; Adams, Ings.

THIRD 30

Team: Forster; Valery, Vestergaard, Klarer, Vokins; Slattery, Smallbone, Djenepo, Boufal; Long, Obafemi.

Fourth 30:
Team: Forster; Valery, Vestergaard, Klarer, Vokins; Jankewitz, Smallbone, Djenepo, Boufal; Long, Obafemi.

Romeu starting would be fantastic, would make him the best of the 4.5 mids I'd say.

His place to lose I think since PEH was sold.
Smallbone would be Romeu's main competition there but he's still only 20.

Ive owned Romeu in the past, i wouldnt expect any more that 3 points a game and lots of yellow cards. So more than likely 1 or 2 points.

Yes but none of the other 4.5 mids are likely to match that 1 or 2 points. As it stands, Romeu looks the most likely 4.5 mid to start each week.

Not sure he would be a good choice uses up Southampton spot, plus he likes a yellow card and does not offer much offensively.

5.5m he played 18 games last season 2 goals 2 assists could be a shrewd pick if he breaks into the side

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moussa-djenepo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/485424

I notice most others are picking Armstrong at 5.5

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stuart-armstrong/profil/spieler/130765

Won't Djenepo be competing with Redmond or do you think Djenepo could start elsewhere?

Personally I am getting Ward-Prowse for .5 more giving me more security of starts.

Harrison Reed is the best 4.5m option if he keeps his place in Fulham midfield, they signed him for 6m from Southampton after he was on loan last season. He's a holding midfielder but gets the odd assist.

According to the FFS focus on Fulham he will keep his spot

How is Gordon at Everton looking?

That's good, I watched him in playoffs and he's a tidy player.

Gordon is rumoured to be going out on loan.
