2021/22 FPL Rate My Team thread

I'd also be in the camp of attacking full backs but not sure how attacking Digne will be under Rafa? Admittedly I have not heard much of their pre-season games and set up so far.

My first draft

Any suggestions to improve it would be welcomed. Grealish going to City potentially.

looks good, I assume you’ve 2 4.5 mill defenders as subs?

Happy with backs and midfielders I think. Not sure about the front three at all. Watkins might be in trouble without Grealish and Grealish goes to city as expected, he will be in rotation. Not a cent left in the bank.

I wouldnt be spending 6.0m on a striker and puting him on the bench and there are better cheap options than bissouma and fofana

I'm going without the big names to start the season. Taking the gamble that I end up with a few that everybody wants and leave me in a strong position after a couple of weeks.

I'll then bring in the likes of Salah, KDB et al to replace the non-performers. I've 10m in the bank with this team.

Intention is to spend that money to improve midfield and attack.

I'm hoping my defense and gk's are all set for the season.

Id like thoughts on who I should replace but only with other cheaper players who are with the gamble.

Whatever about leaving enough money in the bank to bring in 1 big money performer of your choice early on, I feel like you're pushing it with the 2 and 10 million. I can't see that being a worthwhile approach.

Here's my first draft:

Any feedback on my team appreciated.

I’d be very surprised if Kane starts the season (for either Spurs or City). Wouldn’t be a fan of Maddison either.

£5 million in the Bank to cover Cavani to Kane if he moves to Spurs

A 3 premium midfield draft...

Sanchez

Shaw Digne TAA Coufal

Salah Mané Son Raphinha

Watkins Toney

Quite like this, moving away from Wilson and Antonio as options, just don't trust their hamstrings. Hadn't really been interested in Toney until now but 6.5 talisman on pens is worth a shot.

A mixture of gambles and safe options... I'm sure only 2 of those players will be in my team come the 14th !

Have Mendy in as keeper but them opening fixtures are tough. Looking into a different 6.0 keeper (I never actually usually go that high) as a placeholder and there are no real standouts to me apart from Allison & Ederson. TAA is already in the team so having 13.5 tied up in double Liverpool defence is a lot. Leno is semi appealing to me right now at 5.0, and he can be rotated out for GW2 & GW3 easily before back in for GW4. I do have White but the double up is not as risky at 9.5

Have 2.0 ITB at the moment. ESR, Son, Sancho or Mane may enter the team yet

Might want to swap out Fofana. Sounds like he’s been stretchered off with a serious injury.
