Pre-Season

Fantasy Football Scout Pre-season page is now live for FPL 2020/21

It’s back! Fantasy Premier League has relaunched for 2020/21 and, as usual, we’ll have everything you need to set you up for the new campaign.

All of our pre-season content will be collated on THIS PAGE, which will be regularly refreshed between now and Gameweek 1.

It is where you can find our price-by-price, position-by-position rundown of pretty much every asset in FPL.

There’ll also be analysis of all 20 teams, Scout Reports on new signings and Moving Target articles on those switching allegiance.

Any information we learn about the various pre-season fixtures, from line-ups, goals and assists to the wider Fantasy talking points, will also be documented here.

As the transfer window develops, you can track all the ins and outs of FPL assets throughout the summer.

A lot of our content is free but, to gain access to every single article we publish and benefit from all the tools and stats on offer in our Members Area, subscribe from as little as £1.46 a month by clicking below.

    Has there actually been confirmation that the teams who are still in Europe will start the season later or is it pure speculation?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, they get 30 days rest

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      GW1 is almost sure for United and City to blank I would say. GW2 likely.

      Important to build drafts that allow flexibility to bring on their assets whenever they are ready.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Or just WC

        1. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Early WC seems obvious. You'll get priced out if you try to slowly get city and United players in

  2. Klaren
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I don’t understand the rationale for keeping Firmino priced at 9.5. He didn’t have any extenuating circumstances to suggest that he’ll score any better this season.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, that looks like an admin error to me!

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Are they going to reprice him just like what they did to Pulisic?

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They won’t now, see also Karl Darlow at £5m!

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely.

      FPL has been very kind in what concerns the prices of several assets, but they got Bobby severely overpriced.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bobby at 9.5 is extremely strange. How on earth can Jimi, Ings and Martial all be cheaper.
      Strangest pricing in the game.
      In reality he shoulda been 7.5 seriously

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      6.5 seems fair

    5. Mr Bird
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He still spearheads Liverpool’s attack week in week out regardless of goal scoring form. If you compare him to Jesus (9.5m) his price seems fair.

    6. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      His 1.4% GW1 owners will be made up of auto-pick teams and deluded mickey mousers!

  3. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    who is your premieum midfield choice?

    Many good ones playing OOP this year. Auba, Rashford in particular, but not sure if I have the fund to get them all

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane and Auba nailed in my team.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It's in the name I guess

      2. Manani
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        not Salah instead? Same price with Salah made me choose Salah without even thinking

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Need to diverge from the herd.

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long term:

      Salah & KdB. With Kane and Kun up top

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t think the Manchester clubs will be playing in GW1 so that should make our initial drafts a bit easier.

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures will dictate a lot

    5. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So if no blanks were considered, I would say Salah KDB and Bruno.

      Considering the City and United blanks I am leaning towards something as Salah Auba Son, with 1m ITB, that allows me to do Auba Son to KDB Bruno when that time comes.

    6. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      We won't have the funds to get them all in. It's just about being on the right ones at the right time, especially for captaincy.

      Our initial picks will be easier if the manchester teams start late but once they're back it'll be some tough choices and opportunities to make ground by being different.

    7. Arn De Gothia
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I started with KDB Auba Son Ziy and Keita

    8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      long term KdB Bruno, can't look past any of them

    9. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kdb Salah Rashford Pulisic Greenwood is most likely my early WC midfield when Mancs are back

  4. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone enlighten me about Podences appeal please. Seen him being mentioned quite often, I don’t know much about him

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Try google

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm I did that, still don’t see his appeal lol. As others said below seems a big rotation risk

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Loads of sauce, not sure if nailed.

    3. b91jh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation galore.

      Jota
      Adama
      Podence
      Neto

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ended the season very well, cheap as chips. Too much of a rotation risk for me though.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  5. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Shaw at 5.0 is a very good option.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Isnt he injured?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Would come back.
        Has to 😀

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Reckon Bwilliams or Dalot to play in his absence?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Williams

            Dalot is training on his own waiting to find a buyer for himself.

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Didnt know that. Cheers.

              • 11 Years

              We have been linked with Dalot.

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                LOL

                1. The 12th Man
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Glad I’ve made someone’s day.

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    Seriously. I hope you don't 🙂
                    He's not good enough for PL

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Brandon Williams at 4.5 better imo 😉

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            🙂

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah.

  6. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Once Sancho signs Im sure he'll skyrocket just like Bruno. Bloody United fans jacking him up.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If he signs Greenwood would go out of FPL teams & Sancho will replace him.

      Not sure where additional 2/3m would come from 😀

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think Sancho will replace him in FPL. But Greenwood will lose a lot of followers.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Will get 30 is minutes every GW if Sancho signs. Not sure

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Not enough I fear for a 7.5 player

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      His pricing would be interesting.

  7. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Budget Forward. Who and why?

    1. Mitrovic
    2. Bamford
    3. Che Adams
    4. Antonio

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      From those, defintiely Antonio imo.

      Will be involved in West Ham goals surely. Ended last season on a very good momentum.

      But will depend on fixtures.

      Adams vs Mitro is a good debate.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro - exciting. Hard to ignore Antonio if he has a slab of green fixtures though, will he actually be upfront though?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’d shove woods in that comparison as well btw

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chele ftw.

    4. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio obviously

    5. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mitrovic... great stats... penalty taker... proven goalscorer...

      1. Brosstan
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        More like proven bad pick in the PL..

  8. EgyptianKing
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Quick and first draft considering the City and United blanks...

    Ryan
    TAA Taylor Vinagre
    Salah Auba Son Zyiech Soucek
    Werner Adams

    Button, Ferguson, X, X

    1M itb.

    Idea is to allow the Auba Son —> KDB Bruno later on.

    Makes some sense?

    1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      100% similar team

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cool!

        Not very set on Taylor and Vinagre yet, however.

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not keen on double Chelsea newbies but they do both look class.

      Wrong Palace 4.0 possibly.

      I'm in the anyone but Ryan camp. 🙁

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The double up is risky, in fact.

        But particularly if they have good starting fixtures I think both will adapt and perform well.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      TAA, Salah, Auba, Son here also. Mane perhaps over Son depending on fixtures.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That would require an expressive downgrade elsewhere.

        But yeah, those kind of decisions can only be taken when fixtures are out.

  9. davies
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ziyech at 8.0 looks amazing, no?

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely.

      Hopefully he adapts well to the premier, but at 8.0 he seems pure value.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I want to wait and see first. Son is only 9.0 also...

    3. T.Henry14
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      dont think so. Pulisic better and safer option from Chelsea for 0.5 more. Son is 9.0, Mahrez 8.5..

  10. El Magico5
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone settle down and get the snooker on. Bags of time to tinker yet 🙂

  11. EgyptianKing
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why isn’t Willian in the game yet? Lol

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lowering his price as he's joined arsenal

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fixtures pending and fiddling till kingdom come, I am on this for the moment when it comes to players nailed for my starting 11.

    Lloris
    TAA VVD
    Salah Auba
    Werner

    Need to wait for Havertz as well who is looking likely to join CHE sooner or later. Problem we all have is who faces City and UTD the first two GW's as possible those teams will blank as well. Plus injures and fitness for all players which will only be updated from those pre match pressers for GW1...

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Logic would say Man U and City should be the blank fixture?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Man U vs City

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And if GW2 is also a blank for them?

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big call on Lloris there - must mean a compromise elsewhere on week 1 budget, Is that Mou rep pushing you into it?

      Thinking about VVD - may follow you

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have put one draft together which I really like and allows me to switch between 442 and 343.

        Midfield 5 is not looking like an option as the 4.5 mids which are available are 1 to 2 pointers. Putting together a decent midfield 5 you start eating money from defence.

        Lloris will be set forget. Did very well since his comeback.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          So will not be going 352

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          With Foden and Greenwood it is doable.

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is there any specific date on the fixtures being released (all I've seen is Friday at the latest)?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You answered your own question?!?

  14. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think is the best 4.5m GK and why?

    (Include: If you expect Ramsdale to come in at 4.5m)

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still fumbling on this. Maybe Ramsdale.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sheff Utd keeper at 4.5m could be golden, otherwise Ryan.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      McCarthy or Ryan are the standouts.

      Hopefully Martinez moves to Chelsea.

      I think Ramsdale will be 5.0m.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yup McCarthy. Mainle cause I had him all of last season and was happy.

      2. R.C.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        is Martinez linked with a move to Chelsea?

        and will he be as good with the current Chelsea defence?

    4. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsdale - been hoping for this transfer. Good goalie and decent defence.

      Othewise Macarthy as Saints need season well and are a better side than Brighton by a distance imo. Potter never did defence really when he was in lower leagues. Can't see Brighton improving on last season's record in defence.

    5. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised people are going Ryan over McCarthy, I'm on McCarthy for now.

      Would go Ramsdale if 4.5, but expect 5.0.

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got a feeling Gunn might be No.1 this season

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got Ryan for save points so I can have KWP for 4.5.

  15. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Aaron Ramsdale is going to be Sheffield United's No 1. Any chance he will be 4.5m (finished last season at 4.4m), or is going to SHU an automatic upgrade to 5.0m ?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53790845

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They would upgrade him to 5.0m.

      Last season's prices have no effect on this season's.

    2. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If he's 4.5 he will be essential. Hopefully 5.0

    3. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Burnley have 4.5 defenders so I don't see why SU can't have a 4.5 goalie

  16. Ser Davos
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    8.5 GK
    TAA and the rest 4.5s
    MID pack the powerhouse 3 x elites plus a Son as a placeholder for Puli/Ziayech/Greenwood plus Soucek
    Mitro | Adams || Davis

    3-5-2

    1. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think you have to eliminate certain players otherwise you'll be paralysed with too much choice. Rashford - Greenwood - Auba as mids are absolute game changers. Iike Werner and Jiminez, but the mids are so exciting!

  17. HammersXI

    I’ll post an overview of Leeds assets when I’m home! I’m seeing very strange Leeds selections and wonder what info are you guys really working on.

      You already wrote those helpful hot topics - has anything changed since then?

      If not, just let people pick random Leeds options and the rest to have an advantage! 😉

      You don't approve of people selecting Douglas and Dallas and still less of Douglas over Dallas 🙂 ?

    Anyone else think it’s a bit rubbish that they’ve made lots of forwards into mids this Season?

    Auba is not a midfielder and neither is Rashford, they should have simply reclassed Salah/mane as forwards.

    1. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The only premium mids left would be KDB and Bruno and everyone would have them. It would ruin the game.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        KDB, Bruno, Pulisic, Ziyech, Mahrez, possibly Mane and Son. Still lots of options.

        1. Zimo
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Why would any of these players not be forwards too. Just because rashford and auba score goals and cut inside doesn't mean their position isn't on the left wing. Son, Pulisic, Mane, Mahrez would be forwards as well because they all like to come inside and score goals. Don't know anything about Ziyech

          1. Greek Freak
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Pretty clear that Salah, Sterling, Auba and Rashford are forwards and that the others are not. Son and Mane are in a grey area though.

            1. Zimo
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Please tell me what you mean by pretty clear. I can say pretty clear they're mids as well.

              1. Greek Freak
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Wide forwards may not be traditiona no. 9 kind of forwards, but they're still forwards - unless they stay very wide of course, or drop deep to play as no. 10.

                Just ask Pep - he'd ne happy to say Sterling is a forward! 😀

                1. Zimo
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  And i agree with that. But how can u say Son, Pulisic, Mane, Mahrez dont fit in that category

                  1. Zimo
                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    Which brings me back to my point that everyone would have to be reclassified and it would ruin the game

            2. Zimo
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              The rest of these players play the exact same way as these players. They're just not afforded enough minutes or aren't as prolific in front of goal. If they scored 20+ goals you'd be saying the same thing about them too

            3. Russell
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I agree with this. If it was mids and strikers, then the reclass makes sense, but the category is forwards. I just feel like it means everyone will have the same strikers. Son never outright plays up front (unless Kane is injured) whereas Salah and Auba, Rash and Greenwood do.

    2. Greek Freak
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed.

  19. The 12th Man
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    First attempt. 3-4-3

    McCarthy
    TAA,Robertson,Vinagre
    Salah,Aubamayang,Ziyech,Saint-Maximin
    Werner,Mitrovic,Antonio

    Nyland,Taylor,Gordon,Braithwaite.

    City and United players in later.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks pretty good. Fixtures need to be assessed though for double Chelsea attack IMO

  20. RossoneriHammer
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone worked how many points Aubameyang would've got as a midfielder last season?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      25 more as per a post i read

    2. Greek Freak
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      32 more just from the goals and clean sheets alone. I doubt he would lose that many bonus points, maybe 5 or so fewer?

    3. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s a brilliant placeholder for a City or United player.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I see him as more than a placeholder personally.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          If he starts well then he can be kept.

          1. Greek Freak
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            We've got a 'midfielder' with a guaranteed 20-25 goals coming up. Something has to go wrong for me to sell him.

            1. The 12th Man
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              How do you feel about Willian as a pick?

              I’m a little disappointed that Tierny came in at 5.5.

              1. Greek Freak
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                I wouldn't consider Willian. His late-season Chelsea run always felt unsustainable to me, plus he won't have penalties with Aubameyang around.

                Also now that they've made Pepe 8.0, I imagine Willian would be more expensive than you're willing to consider.

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You're biased !
          (I'm also keen on Auba 😉 )

    4. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      About 25 additional points

    5. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      not a captain material...

  21. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this one? Early WC squad

    McCarthy 4.0
    TAA Robbo Doherty Vinagre 4.0
    KDB Bruno Ziyech Soucek 4.0
    Werner Martial 4.5

    1. Greek Freak
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And I thought the GW1 drafts were premature 😀

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking long term!
        GW1 I will probably build a Benchboost team and WC asap.

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There is no 4.0 mids?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *4.5

    3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lots wrong

      No 4.0 mid

      Doesn't add up even when you add the above mistake

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *4.5

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ok.

          3 5 2 with a playing 5 and 4.5 every week is not great.

          My current draft is similar

          McCarthy nyland
          Trent rob lamptey vinag Dallas
          Salah bruno greenwood max soucek
          Werner martial Davis

          A more balanced 352 imo

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            It's actually a 4-4-2 with Soucek to play every week

            1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Oh right.

              I like your starting team.

              No bench at all would worry me.

              If you compare our teams, I still feel my structure offers me flexibility in formation and a deep bench.

              Your advantage lies in a better starting 11 so it could work just feels a little claustrophobic for me

  22. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Williams
    KDB, Salah, Auba, Tarore, Saint-Maximin
    Ings, Jimenez

    Subs: 4.0, 4.5, 4.0. 4.0

    Any good once City and United back?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry not Auba but Son. 😀

  23. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just seen Barry Douglas only started 6 games in the championship last season 🙁
    Need to find another 4.0 defender

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  24. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just been reading Ben Crellin's comments re;possible postponements for MCI/MUN. My head hurts

    1. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Never understood why people care about gremlins spread sheets for stuff that will be clear even before we have to make a decision. Pointless exercise

  25. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    any decent shouts for 4.0 DEF?

    1. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nathan Ferguson and Leeds 4.0 Def

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Think Douglas will be off.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Everton don’t sign another CB then Braithwaite will get some time.
      Mina is injury prone. Fighting for a spot with Holgate and Keane.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nathan Ferguson has a shout

  26. The Wanton Trader
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    # 2.
    3-5-2.

    Pope / 4.0
    TAA / Vinagre / KWP / Webster / 4.0
    Auba / KDB / Son / Greenwood / ASM
    Werner / Mitrovic / Davis

  27. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    After making this killer draft team I realized that planning a team without fixtures atm is absolutely useless:

    Heaton / Nyland
    TAA, Vinagre, Saiss, Dallas, Ayling
    Salah, Mane, Auba, Son / Soucek
    Antonio / Wickham, Davis

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, the fixtures might see you start over again.

      It is good to see the game open again though.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And one obvious fault with this midfield is that if Mane, Son and Auba are widely considered as place holders for Rashford, Bruno KdB etc, there will be mass sales and if there are other fires burning, it is a serious tv issue or even early forced WC.

  28. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What's the point in launching without fixtures? Its as pointless as mark coming back to the site

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ban.

  29. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The good thing about the Arsenal GK/def situation is that we should get some indication from the charity shield match line-up.

    1. Greek Freak
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lol, this reminded me of starting with Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain in my first FPL season after they both started in the charity shield 😀

  30. I Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If City and United blank in GW1:

    4.5
    TAA, Robertson, 4.5
    Aubameyang, Salah, Ziyech, ASM
    Werner, Antonio, Mitrovic

    4.0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.5.

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of trust in new untested Chelsea players?
