2021/22 FPL Rate My Team thread

Looks to be a good team to me but I think I will go for a stronger bench this season myself. Even ignoring games being postponed at short notice in the season just gone I think there are more teams willing to rotate players so thinking it will be worth having replacements to come in. Still making changes but currently on:

Sanches, Bachmann

Digne, Alexander Arnold, Lamptey, Tierney, Coufal

Saka, Salah, Fernandes, Harrison, Murphy

Wilson, Watkins, Toney

Sanchez-Sa

Tierney-Shaw-Rudiger-Fofana-Godfrey

Salah-Raphinha-Greenwood-Dallas-Gilmour

Kane-Toney-Iheanacho

I like the look of mine so far. Went for Gilmour as the 4.5 option likely to play every week, and expecting Kane to go to City and Greenwood to play in Rashford's absence early on.

Think my defence may be TOO stacked, and thus cause selection nightmares down the line.

Obviously not set in stone yet.

And Dallas has no CS potential which was 66 points .

When do you expect to Wild card ?

Not a big fan, the while fwd seems very risky, I will have Toney myself tho

Raphina will play most games over Soucek I presume,

Not a Fernandez fan myself, and Saka is a great pick but think might take a few weeks to hit the ground running

Sanchez/ Bachman

Digne/James/Shaw/Tierney/Castagne

Salah/Mount/Greenwood/Raphinha/Beundia

Calvert Lewin/Watkins/Bamford

Still a long way to go with pre season and signings and seeing when some players will be back

Anyways

Sanchez

Van Djik Trent Digne Shaw

Salah Havertz Grealish or bueneda

Watkins Toney DCL

Foster Raphina Fofana Gilmour

Trent Digne Salah Toney think all rest are up for debate

Everyone seems to be on TAA over Robertson? I fancied Robertson with a bit more of a break over the summer under his belt and might start faster?

Doherty could be a steal under Nuno if Spurs start firing.

Henderson

Digne TAA Dunk

Salah Mané Buendia Raphinha

Antonio Watkins Wilson

Foster Brownhill Ayling Manquilo

Mané over Bruno at the moment but that might change..

Yeah fancy Mané to get back to his best this season, he seems mentally and physically refreshed. Two great opening fixtures for him too.

Martinez -Sanchez

Konsa - Lowton - Dias - Bednarek - Coufal

Dallas - Raphinha - Gundogan - Fernandes - Townsend

Watkins - Bamford - Vardy

This is my team at the moment and with 2M in the bank there's a lot of flexibility to change a player or two if needed.

While I can see where you are coming from with this and with the 2m in the bank I could swap out

Fernandes and Lowton for Salah and Dunk for 1m out of the 2m, I have in the bank but what happens if Fernandes hauls in the first games and Salah is

Quiet for their first games.

With the Burnley and Southampton Players, They are players that will play and if they are on my bench so be it be, plus both of them are 4.5m each and the break down of the team is this

Goalkeepers 10m, Defenders, 25m, Midfielders, 37m and Forwards 26m, + 2m in bank = 100m

Have decided to dispense with Dallas, and have 7.5m to play around with as a result. Need advice on the following players, who I have singled out with very little research:

Jota- 7.5m (already have Salah)

Maddison or Barnes- 7m

Alli- 7m

Saka or Buendia- 6.5m

Left-field choice....Bryan Gil 6m

I am edging towards Buendia at the minute.

Sanchez/Bachman

Digne/James/Shaw/TAA/Castagne

Salah/Barnes/Greenwood/Raphinha/Buendia

Bamford/Silva/Watkins

Plan is to play 5 at the back every game who are all attacking full backs.

Double of Villa and Leeds in midfield and attack might not be the best option so I might change one of those for each team.

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.
