Rate my team 22/23

My main worry would be playing only one up top. If your main man doesn't play (which could happen with Haaland if they try to manage him after his injuries last season), you'll end up with only ten players that week (assuming your strikers are non-playing bench fodder?). I like the Chelsea wingbacks, but am waiting to see how they shape up in pre-season with new CBs coming in.

My two cents would be plan your team with GW1 and GW2 in mind.

Banking the extra transfer will set you up nicely for GW3 on beyond.

Not a fan of no Salah. Owned by 60% of players. If he has a GW1 similar to the last 2 seasons (and he will be highly captained) you are goosed. Just too much of a risk for me.

Mendy

TAA Cancelo James Tomiyasu Perisic

Salah Bruno G Mahrez

Haaland Jesus

subs 4m Gazzinga, Moutinho, Andreas Periera, Greenwood

Spending 5m on Moutinho as a sub is maybe a waste but like to have one sub whose not the cheapest option.

Mahrez(also Foden) have decent value if they get minutes, the city rotation may make me change byt hard to find an 8m mid i like n end changing up thw whole draft completely.

Mendy / 4m fodder

TAA / Cancelo / Chilwell / Tomiyasu / N.Willimas

Salah / Mahrez / Rashford / Martinelli / Andreas

Haaland / Jesus / Archer

First draft here but close eye on pre-season around Mahrez(could be Foden or Grealish either)/Rashford/Martinelli/Jesus on minutes and performance.

Bench is weak which is a bit of a concern but Williams and Perreira should be nailed and with 5 subs introduced this year we may not get as many subbed in from the bench as we have in the past with more cameos.

I get what your saying, but I think Spurs are going to start like a train with Soton at home, and I wouldn't be surprised if Salah begins to dip below his ridiculous standards (which was happening post AFCON anyway). Willing to take the risk before a ball is kicked 😀

If your playing 352 every week there's not much cover . And no Salah is risky.

Raya

TAA Cancelo Perisic

Salah Diaz Coutinho BrunoGuimares Moutinho

Jesus Kane

Balcombe White Neco Taylor(Forest)

Big at the back looks guaranteed points, so much doubt around some mids, before pre seASON kicks in this would be my team

Raya

Trent robbo cancello James chilwell

Salah rashers neto

Jesus halland

Fodder fodder fodder fodder

So here is my first draft (of I say constant change) helpful thought appreciated

Alisson

Coady Mings White Reguilon

Trossard De Bruyne Murphy Salah (how is he still in the midfield!!!)

Haaland Jesus

Subs

Darlow Cucurella Norgaard Wood

Undecided on Formation yet thinking 343 or 352

Murphy and Wood may not be getting full games with Almiron and Wilson competing for the same positions in the Newcastle team. Wood at 6mill may be a bit much to spend on your last sub position and downgrading him to complete fodder could free up 1.5mill to upgrade elsewhere.

Ya I was never going to stay with both Haaland and KDB but was not sure which so just put both in. I agree my defense is bad and needs a lot of work

Basically yes

Now going to downgrade Haaland for Jesus so I can bring in Salah (for Diaz). Will have to downgrade James to accommodate that move, and 50-50 between Tomiyasu and Dalot (default RB for United I assume). Tempted to go Sancho or Rashford over Madisson now too. Thoughts?
