    Which team looks best?

    Flekken
    Porro, Muñoz, Hall / Robinson, Barco
    Salah, Palmer, Foden, Ødegaard, Rogers
    Watkins, Isak / 4.5

    Flekken
    TAA, Porro, Muñoz / Robinson, Barco
    Saka, Palmer, Foden, ESR / Rogers
    Watkins, Isak / Solanke

    It's basically the following:
    A. Flekken, Salah, Odegaard, 4.5 def
    B. Raya, Saka, Solanke, Trent

    1. Freshy

      Good to have Watkins, Palmer and Foden but I wouldnt expect huge GW1 points

  2. sirmorbach

    Mazraoui one to monitor for the future depending on price, could be very attacking

    1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      He's joining a UTD team where they concede 20 shots a game. Lol

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      He will be 4.5m. he's backup to Shaw and Dalot. He will start the season though, Shaw out until gameweek 4.

      1. Unklesnax
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 11 days ago

        Martinez will start at LB

  3. FPL GREG
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Apparently Ricardo Pereira has looked a bit shaky in pre season.

    Don't think I can go without Son gameweek 1.

      1. FPL GREG
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        exactly. Spurs triple up worth it!!! James on Planet FPL has 4 Spurs lol.

      2. JBG
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Welp... might be going for Son instead of Saka now.

        1. FPL GREG
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          I fancy Arsenal to go into 'control' mode with the tough fixtures to stifle opponents, I'm expecting a lot of 1-0/2-0 scores in first 5.

          1. JBG
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 12 days ago

            Not a bad guess tbh.

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 12 days ago

            First 4 games I expect Arsenal to blow away the teams with quick press and create plenty of chances. Arteta v Pep will be the boring control game

        2. StingRay
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          I've decided to go with Son over Saka. The damage Son could do to a weak Leicester & Everton team is too tempting imho.

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Whole team has looked awful in pre season apparently. I’ve gone big on Spurs and Fulham players in hope that they dish out some serious damage against them in the first few gw’s.

      1. FPL GREG
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        It's a great strategy.

  4. Manani
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Jota or Gordon?

    feel like 1 or 2 blanks for 60mins Jota and my knee will feel jerky

    1. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Both could get an hour. Gordon wins the minutes bet medium term.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Both teams could be 4 up by the hour.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Both

  5. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Don’t like planning transfers but starting with Son and moving to Saka GW3 seems worth it. Thoughts ?

    1. Manani
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      planning for transfer for GW3 sounds silly. Inevitably there will be 'must haves' or non-starter/nailed players that need sorting out. I would plan it as if it were a hit

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Actually coming round to going Saka over Son.

    3. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      you'll be chasing value picks at the beginning. Someone like Philogene will score a brace and everyone will panic.

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Same for me
      I know Saka will come good but I seen too many ARS games where they build their attack mainly from the left side. I really think Arteta picks an opponents weak link and concentrates the play to that side.
      Starting with Son,

  6. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Wood or Muniz?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      W

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Wood

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Bar ESR Fulham haven't been finding the back of the net much in preseason
      Are they trying to play defence this season?
      Forest seem ready to go to me.
      Wood

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Will get Wood. Thanks Freshy.

    4. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Wood, think I’ve moved back to him from Solanke, team looks better with the 1.5 pumped into it

  7. Salalalalah
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    How does this team looks

    Raya
    Munoz Hall Quansah
    Salah Jota MGW ESR
    Haaland Isak Havertz

    Fab Robinson Winks Barco

    MGW could be Nkunku as well. I think I'm liking this team to take me through first few weeks. Thoughts?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Raya is a luxury v 4.5 keepers. That mill can yield more.

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        I class Arsenal defence as essential and he’s the cheapest route into it

        1. David Parkinson
          • 2 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          I think you should compare Raya with other keepers rather than a cheaper entry into Arsenal's defence due to the way keepers score points.

      2. Salalalalah
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        He will get plenty of CS when I don't have any other ars def. Don't want to double up def on any team, who else would you suggest?
        Would like Saka instead of Jota, and Havertz could be Wood/Muniz/Pedro

        1. David Parkinson
          • 2 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          Keepers score differently though. You should get better returns from say Porro over Munoz and Eze over MGW by going for Areola.

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Similar to mine below, also thinking to start with MGW with those fixtures but move to Nkunku if he fires.

      I have 0.5 ITB.

      Raya
      Gvardiol VdV Quansah
      Salah Eze MGW ESR
      Haaland Isak Solanke
      Fab Barco Winks HB

      1. Salalalalah
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Good team, no ars in attack could be an issue but can't have them all. I'm going without spurs and chelsea at the moment

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          Yeah I’d like a front line of Haaland Havertz Solanke but that Isak ownership!!!!

          Haaland Havertz Solanke
          Salah Gordon Nkunku ESR

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      If not spending big in defence these really are the best options and that may even apply to Raya too.
      Just very smart use of defence money imo.
      MGW I would question that there are not better options, but they do have the fixtures.

      1. Salalalalah
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        That is the plan with him, get for opening fixtures and then move to Nkunku or similar if they start to pick up form

  8. One Man
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    I notice the 2 highest point scorers from last season namely Palmer
    & Watkins are being overlooked in most teams, not even the most expensive players, not sure why.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Not overlooked, mainly due to little to zero preseason mins under their belt

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Foden too

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      They'll be hitting 90mins around gw3 onwards.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Palmer has high ownership overall just not here. Not a lot of pre season and that first fixtures puts people off.
      With Watkins lots will wait for GW3 or GW4 for the fixtures to look good. Europe going to be a factor there too. I don’t think he gets as many points this year. But I like Bailey from GW 3 or 4

      1. One Man
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Thanks good answer, I love Palmer, but maybe I should use someone like Jota as a place holder early on.

  9. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Thoughts on this lot. Setting myself up for a GW3 WC. Ok to bench Gvardiol GW1? Might be a 434 anyway with some risks in the midfield like Bobb
    I have had Solanke over Muinz but then I don’t have Gvardiol and have 2 * 4.0 defenders.

    Henderson

    TAA Porro Hall

    Salah Jota Murphy Bobb

    Haaland Isak Mainz

    Lumley Gvardiol Barca Winks

    1. Ballzit
      • 3 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      I’d play Gvardiol if you have him

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Yeah could just bench Hall. Thanks.
        Any opinion of getting Solanke over Muniz?

        1. Ballzit
          • 3 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          Both good options, just seems like Solanke has more short term risk of not linking well with the new team. Higher ceiling of course.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 12 days ago

            Yeah Rich ain’t gone anywhere yet and ok he might not be match fit but …
            Probably want Muinz for GW2 anyway so might as well have him from the start. Thanks again.

            1. Ballzit
              • 3 Years
              3 months, 12 days ago

              Most welcome, thank you too!

  10. Ballzit
    • 3 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Pickford (Bentley)
    TAA Gvar Saliba (Robinson, Mosquera)
    Saka KDB Jota Eze Minteh
    Watkins Isak (Jebbison)
    2 in the bank

    I like the starting steam and gives me room to go to Palmer if need be. Im interested in Henderson and Munoz but think it may be wise to wait to see how Palace look. Maddison curious too.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Obviously no Salah or Haaland but looks fine. I think most people just don’t want to risk no Salah and/or Haaland for now and are pushing the decision off for awhile. And I am one of those. Too scared to go without both to start.
      I have been hurt bad going without Haaland when the captaincy comes in - don’t want to be there again after GW2 and spend most of a season trying to recover.

      1. Ballzit
        • 3 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Yeah true that’s the risk. Salah I’ve just watched slow down, and think the 9 and attacking midfielder will feature under Slot. Haaland could kill me but I suppose the ownership makes it less risky. KDB is a gamble. I’m trying to combine spicy and reliable this year.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          All this stuff about Salah being wider now I don’t get. He has always done this and always cuts inside and he still does under Slott. Time will tell but looked dangerous in the last game and could easily have had a goal and 2 assists.

  11. Stuck in the Mudryk
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Played around with taking Salah out of the draft for the first time. Thoughts on this one?

    Raya Turner
    Gvardiol Porro Munoz Hall THB
    Son Jota Nkunku ESR Winks
    Haaland Isak Havertz

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Looks good. If going without Salah I would have more pool. TAA and/or Quansah are great options. I would probably go Solanke to start over Havertz and upgrade to TAA in defence.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Think if you go without Salah, TAA, Quansah & Jota together wouldn’t be the worse idea in the world.

        If Saka/Son keeps up with Salah (they should do) you’ll be okay.

  12. hazza44
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Quick few questions to finalise my team:
    1) Porro or Gvardi
    2) Eze, Nkunku or Gordon
    3) Pick 2: ESR, Rogers, CHO or Minteh

    Cheers

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1. I would like both
      2. Eze
      3. ESR and Minteh

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      This looks great. Very well balanced team but Robinson may not start GW1. Had a niggle and not played many minutes.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Sorry I meant Robertson 🙂

  15. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Been away for a couple of days... why is Jota so popular now? Seems a risk when Liverpool also has Darwin and Gakpo, who could also fill that role.

    1. JoelyG
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      I think Jota has had the best preseason out of the 3.

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        I got him but last year Trossard was the best forward by far for ARS in the preseason. Dont think he got more than 20 min first 7 games.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Played in the stronger team for one of the friendlies. Predict xMins around 60

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      Darwin and Gakpo have been late back to training, Jota has had a longer and good pre season, logic says he starts with the fittest & brings the rest into the team gradually.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Guessing Gakpo will compete with Diaz on the left & Nunez with Jota, Jota is a better player than Nunez so you have to fancy his chances to hold the shirt until he loses form or breaks.

    4. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      I loved Elliot as an option til he played second rate friendly at the weekend. Don’t mean he won’t start just makes it too risky.

    What gets more points?

    A: Saka Son Muniz
    B: Salah Smith-Rowe Havertz

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      B for me

  17. Shark Team
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    I’m bad at predicting cs, everyone starts with Ars defense but I predict only 1cs in first 5 gws, not worth the 6.0 imo

    1. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      thing is such is their value, they pay off long term anyway, worst case scenario

  18. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Any players on your squad that if they dont seem worthy early they are off your squad?

    TAA stands out for me

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      TAA Easy way to cash for sure, but I watched all of the last friendly and he won’t be leaving your team.

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Didnt get that one in the States
        Since Im off Salah he feel necessary.
        Just that Gavardiol and Munoz are off my squad because of him

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 12 days ago

          Yeah but for the same combo price there are a lot of really good 4.5 options Hall, Robinson etc.
          But I don’t want to be without Gvardiol GW2

  19. Ser Davos
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    I'm not locked, but I've got the preliminary one in place:

    Raya/Pickford/Pope • 4

    Saliba/Gabriel/Porro/Gvardiol • Hall | Barco | Ben Johnson

    Salah/Saka/Son • Jota/Gordon • ESR | Winks

    Solanke/J Pedro • Haaland • Isak

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      I like the Pope call

      1. Ser Davos
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        I do too. Hall and Raya v Pope and Gabriel is a million though

    2. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      *provisional rather than preliminary perhaps

  20. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 12 days ago

    Who would you prefer for 2 weeks only?

    A) ESR (mun, LEI)
    B) CHO (BOU, sou)

    I'm an ESR fanboy, but I'm leaning towards the fixtures on this one. B has leakier opponents. What do you think?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 12 days ago

      ESR - United still have Casemiro as CDM and Leicester are a mess (see link I posted near top of this page)

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 12 days ago

        Thanks Tony. Utd held off Man City for 88 mins in the community shield, and generally conceded fewer goals than Bournemouth last year with Casemiro (and hypothetically you'd think Southampton too if they were in the Prem). Leicester had a better defence than Southampton too. I'm not sure whether to let pre-season sway me too much.

        GW1 can sometimes be goals galore, so maybe I'm looking for the opponents that will be the most gung-ho, giving away opportunities to counter. Often seems to be promoted teams, but I could be making that up.

        Good shout. I guess I fear him getting only one start or none

      I’d also back Bobb if only for first two

    Lots of Quansah in teams, is he nailed?

      Nope

      No but I would say 90 percent the starts over Konate GW1 and we go from there. But hard to see a better value 4.5 defender if he keeps the spot.

      No but should start at the beginning and may keep if he plays well

    Mods, you have deleted a whole thread. Accident or malice? It's getting silly - whenever I log onto this site, these things start happening.

      I think I'll put this one down to "accident", but I really think you should be careful not to delete the wrong things, especially when they have replies to them which will also be lost.
