    Rashford the one season wonder who has hit double figures in goals 4 of the last 5 seasons in the league and has hit 22, 24 and 25 goal contributions in 3 of those seasons.

    Saka the one season wonder who's scored double figures the last 2 seasons in the league with 20 goal contributions in both.

    There, I compared them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    At the start of last season, very few people had Rashford in their team - despite being only 6.5m - why was that - if he was so prolific? If was only when his form picked up was he bought in his droves. He scored 4 goals in the league in 21/22 season - hardly inspiring or must have. No one can argue that his form was atrocious for a good 1/2 years.

    Likewise how many people started Saka in their team?

    So many people look at 1 season and think they should be more expensive. I don't see too many people say Kane/Salah should be 14m along with Haaland - Kane finished the season 9 points behind Haaland. So why not complain about that?

    I'm just a casual player and don't analyse things too much but the prices just seem a bit skewed to me and was suprised how low the players I mentioned were. I thought rashford bruno saka would all be around the 10 Mill bracket and martenilli/odeegard a bit higher aswell.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    The prices are low. It’s ridiculous.

    I can have two premiums and still a who’s who.

    With one premium it feels like the rest are the globe trotters.

    It’s stupid easy to have a start studded lineup.

    The problem now isn’t who do you want. The problem is having the right players at the right time.

    I can have 11 players on the pitch from teams I fancy to finish top 5 or 6.

    That’s ridiculously easy. And boring.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Did you say the same thing last season? Or the season before ?

    Chances are out of Rashford/Saka one of them will have a poor season if not both. Based on how they are priced - what points do they need to get to be like na they are too cheap?

    You've literally just summed up the challenge, do you go....

    One Premium and globtrotters (knowing the premiums are premium for a reason)

    Two premiums and shoot your shot (and try to get the two premiums right)


    It's been the same every year, you can afford nice players, you just have to decide which nice players to own. Nobody wants a game that we're all relying on 4.5 mids and 5.5m strikers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    I'm expecting a top 1k finish after this comment! 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭I see sheep


    I don't fancy Rashford, going for Bruno though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Is he on penalties over Bruno? United just bought a lad for 70m + to score goals, granted he's just got injured. Let's just say after GW1, saks and rashford blank and Kane, Salah and KdB all get double digit hauls - What then - what happens to the template. KdB has been consistently one of the best mids over the last few years - yet has been picked by last than 15% of people. How many people are saying he's mis-priced?

    This idea that certain players are too cheap - players have always been cheap - but your just thinking that they will explode this season - despite how poor Saka was for a large part of last year - part of the reason why Arsenal didn't win the league - him and others went missing for the last third of the season.

    How many people started with Rashford last season when he was 6.5m?

    Anyone use any of the advice sites? FPL tools, Fantasy Scout etc?

    Anyone got a fixture excel tracker or where can i find one please?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    I use Hub, £16 for the year, Ben Crellin gives an excellent fixture tracker that you can set out your team on and book in your transfers. Probably hard to make our here but I think it's excellent. Although I think that price is a legacy price, might be more expensive now

    Raya gone on loan to Arsenal. Who will be the Brentford no 1 now 🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,192 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Ah no.

    David Ornstein reporting that Levy has accepted a new offer from Bayern for Kane.

    Now up to the player seemingly.


    Edit - although better happening now than on Monday. I now have a shed load of extra cash to spend on my team or I’ll have to find 1.5m to get Haaland in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Gary Neville has suggested that Kane was waiting for Levy to accept a price from Bayern so then Man U would be able to offer the same amount and Levy, in Kane’s eyes would have to accept that offer too.

    Wonder is he in the know or just talking waffle.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,465 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Same, will get in Haaland now.

    Not spreading the cash.

    Had a get Haaland in a -4 if he left after deadline.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Yeah. Think I’ll go the same way.

    Downgrade Martinelli to Mitoma and buy Haaland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Makes the likes of Madison less attractive as an option now as well.

    Are Utd going to spend another €100m having just spent €72m on a striker, albeit an injured one.

    I think they'll have to sell a few players first, more than just Maguire.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Really disappointed I couldnt go with the no Haaland draft, although I can still see a way until GW6 to go without, €3m ITB





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,001 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Kane could easily still stay and be able to negotiate higher salary etc in 6/12 months time - does he really want to go to Germany? I still reckon he’ll stay.



  • Registered Users Posts: 363 ✭✭JimboJones99


    Has anyone any codes for general leagues? I was in a few last year such as Irish Examiner and Off the Ball but none of them seem to be renewed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,001 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Richarlison listed as a midfielder but playing upfront (after Kane leaves) in a ridiculously attacking Postecoglou team

    *rubs hands together menacingly *


    Oh yes... mwah ha ha ha.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Yep he's defiantely in my team if Kane leaves, looking forward to being disappointed!


    Anyone fancying a punt on Mcguire now that he's at West Ham? Could be good with JWP swinging in some quality set pieces into the box.



  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Khaleesi Lazy Rumor


    My team to start my miserable season;

    Ederson

    Timber...Trent...Estupinan

    Saka...Jota...Eze...Rashford...Douglas Luiz

    Watson...Haaland

    Subs: Dubravka, Mings, Muskwe, Lamptey.


    EDIT: No idea what Arsenal will do GK wise so using my final 0.5 and going with Ederson instead.

    Ross Barkley joined Luton for those really looking to troll the living daylights out of themselves

    Hope the Kane debacle is cleared up early tomorrow or it will deeply impact my efforts

    Without clarity I may have to set up for 3 GW’s and commit to early WC which I hate doing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Chances are chelsea or united will match Bayern offer and this will drag on and on as levy won’t want to sell but Lewis lad could tell levy to take the money



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,374 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    Will Beyer and spence play or what are the best options for 4 million defenders?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,497 ✭✭✭macraignil


    I've gone with Beyer as my bench fodder defender with Baldock. Not seen any mention of Spence being in line to play much for Spurs who seem to have lots of other options.

    Saw something on Twitter/X that Richarlison is injured.... probably bullsh1t but wouldn't surprise me



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    I've had Maddison in my team for over a week, but with Kane on the brink of leaving I'm gonna have to go elsewhere, right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,374 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    Best 6.5 million striker? I’d like to try solanke aa west ham are in a bad place but I’m not sure he’ll start



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    What do we think about the ‘No BS’ stance that officials have been instructed to take this season ?

    Who are the likely candidates to be too stupid or hot headed to remember when on the pitch ?

    I’ve wanted Fernandes all summer but I’m really thinking of leaving him for a couple of weeks now and saving the 2.0m.

    I’ll be very surprised if we don’t see a few second yellows early in the season til the players get their heads around it.

    There was almost double the usual number of yellow cards shown over the first weekend of the EFL.

    It's mad how some PL clubs were accusing Newcastle of inflating ASM transfer fee when moving to Saudi - for a reported 30m, yet fast forward a few weeks, and Liverpool are paying over 100m for some Brighton lad that was bought 2 years ago for 5m, and no one batting an eyelid.

    I have him in too and keeping him I think. Spurs will still be very attacking, he should be on most set pieces and might even have a chance of pens.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,752 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Is there a qualifying league this year lads?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Yeah, he has low-ish ownership as well, relatively speaking, so I'll give him a chance!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,434 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    Would Richarlison not be a better option? Likely to be the striker or is there something I've missed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,349 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    Someone said he's injured



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,434 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    I'm risking him. Scenes when Troy Parrott starts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,744 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    Who rotates well as a keeper with Onana of the starting 4.5 keepers?

    Thanks for any thoughts on this one.

    Enjoy the Season!🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,434 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    I had him earlier in the week and I think Flekken was pretty okay. Have gone for a lower priced option in goal of Steele and Turner but the above is giving me the willies on Steele.
