FPL team guide 2021/22 – Newcastle United: Best players, stats and more

Good, powerful. STOP: You can't touch this!

Different! And I like it

TAA 5m 4.5m x2 and 4m for me , but got all my money in midfield

I just don't like most of the 4.5 defenders and no playing 4.0 is a concern for me as I'll have a few punts in my team.

Doesn't really matter to me as every player I've picked has good fixtures for the first 3-4 at least. Not looking to jump onto the popular GW1 bandwagons when the players I've selected have kind schedules and can also score well. Happy to be patient with my initial squad.

Kane at City? That's the template.

Defense is weak and the bench is going to be weak. Having Salah, Kane and Bruno takes a lot of your budget and you’re really dependent on those three to perform. I would downgrade Kane (mostly because if his move to City goes ahead ownership will go through the roof and he won’t be a difference maker if a lot of people have him you’ll be looking at the rest of the team to make the difference and you’ve no depth

You can easily end up with Ayling as only playing defender in GW1

Depends on the whole system. I've got 5 power mids, cheapest 6.5, with 2 forwards. What I would say is you want 2 active subs, who you're happy to step up if a first choice is rested or injured.

What Andy said. I like to have two active subs so out of the lower priced players make sure they are going to get decent game time. Especially if you go for Foden in the team where he won’t start every game and subject to alot of rotation. Overall Fodens score will justify his price to keep him but you’ll need someone to come in when he doesn’t play

I think at the start it's good to have a strong midfield across the 5 imo. If a bargain appears then it's easy to downgrade and free up cash to use elsewhere. Good luck

If the 4.5 is starting then probably better to have the 8 and 6.5. With those specific players Son has the potential to be top scorer I the entire game and Foden will only play 2/3s of available minutes.

Yeah great option. Wait and see for me on what rodgers does with the setup with nacho doing so well when he came in

Close eye on the Community Shield. Would expect Rodgers to pick something close to his best team in that.

very decent and like the Martinez shout...don't like the Antonio pick myself though

Very nice. No faults there.

Safely template

Shaw possibly with broken ribs and doubt for start and Digne is template replacement there though Robbo is also common of you want to load defence.

Absence of Nacho curious to me.

Vydra? Would much prefer cash itb.

Dias to Stones would allow you to upgrade a defender for bench as you'll need one nailed defender

That right-wing spot is his

Needs some Liverpool goals

Maddison to jota could be a good move

Yes

worth it if you have cash

TAA worth the money for sure imo

Yeah Trent is in for me whether Virgil is ready or not.

I've decided to wait for him. I always play my WC early - this season the transfer window closes c GW3 so that looks like time for a full re-evaluation with triple Reds.

Gotta see the first two LIV games as good fixtures for FPL still, surely?

For both TAA and Robbo. Robbo could then easily be a cash cow for Leeds, Arsenal, Wolves or bandwagons from GW3

They're getting a lot of stick for how they started last season, but they still got attacking returns in that start 🙂

Care to share?

Quite settled on mine too. Unless someone gets injured or Kane moves to Man City I don't see myself making many changes between now and the start.

I am the same but it is not template. There are are 3/4 choices that I feel many are overlooking. Also Kane to city will shake things up nicely imo. Plus there is always one or two late signings that are underpriced because it was set when they were at another team.

Defence is too weak imo. Need at least one 4.5 on the bench so I'd downgrade Henderson or DCL. Big fan of the Mahrez pick for a few GWs.

Bachmann Foster
TAA Robbo Shaw Coufal Ait Nouri
Son Sancho Mahrez Haverts Raph
Watkins Toney Davis

Even that would be dull since everyone will pick Son, Mahrez, Sancho, Havertz, Trent, Robertson etc 😀

It can be done fairly easily go Forss instead of Toney. Throw in Greenwood, Jota and Mane. Pickford in goal etc. Keane, Regullion and VVD in defence.
Trossard and Sarr are also great options in midfield.
Wilson overlooked as a striker option.

People just have little imagination! Herd mentality.

none of my players are 9.0 or over bar Sancho 😉

Damn that first team just shows how horrible the overall team can be if going with Salah Bruno Kane

Second one is very decent. Maybe ESR for Dallas.

I like this team. Good balance and your bench players will get some game time sometimes too if you need to rotate

that's some bench mate!

Is Omoba going to play?

It's not bad but hardly ideal either. Wouldn't want to be playing Lamptey and Ayling every week. Only one playing sub. Sarr to ESR to get a playing defender on the bench maybe?

Teemu Pukki baby! First guy in my team...

No , they love attacking

only in tough games but whether they can replicate or not remains to be seen

People forget they had both their CBs injured for the beginning and a chunk of the season. With their first-choice defence all fit and well-drilled, they should be far tighter this time.

No. Doesn’t matter though.

What is right for you. One of them will score points at least. Just the heavy collective cost. If Sancho fails then a mega company like ManU got it horribly wrong. (They have in the past)

Pretty much my exact team but I've got Mahrez instead of Sancho. Plan for now is to give Jadon a couple weeks to settle in and then make that switch. Don't think Bruno + Sancho is overkill.

Looks good. Doesnt need ESR

Would watch preseason for Nacho minutes

When Kane moves to city have you a plan to make the couple of changes?
It is the same as many no Kane drafts . ESR would make it even more similar.
I am not saying it is a bad thing. There will be many 'in the know' managers with similar teams so you are unlikely to fall too far behind at the start of the season.

GW4 looks like the perfect time to swap Buendia for ESR (or Saka).

ESR over Raph if you want him. Can get Raph back in GW4 for Buendia.

Always love a 3-5-2 and this one looks filthy good

Lovely. That midfield looks like a lot of fun to own.

My team basically lol

Swap Dallas to Smith Rowe, he could easily drop back I to defense this season and be oop in the wrong way

Also the United penalty numbers could very easily drop this season which impacts his value. Son (potential on pens if Kane leaves) at 10 million looks like possibly better value than bruno

Seeing it as more of a positive now. Means United will aim to attack games more and will take defenders eyes off Bruno… will set him free

Although Liverpool are likely to start with Konate and Matip at CB

Oh no no no

A little over 750,000 players or 50.3% of all teams at present so you are in good company

No I leart my lesson from two seasons ago when I went Treble Liverpool defence - Alisson - VVD - TAA. And captained TAA.
I was chasing for the rest of the season!

That was my yesterday's 'with-Kane' draft. I've banked it if/when he moves, but I'm back to a 'without-Kane' one now.

Do you have a reasoning behind this? I hate the BB chip myself but still don't see me burning it in GW1.

Stay the course

what is your draft?

Looks fine

If you have Salah and Son, you don't need to captain Bruno at all.
