Yeah it's all consolidated under the Complete Pre Season Guide section. Very useful!

Extremely alternative.

Refreshing to see if I'm honest with you.

Do I spot 4 Leicester men?

2/10

There's 4 LEI players? Also, only about 6/11 are nailed on to start GW1.

I have the feeling Mane is going to start firing!

Being different for the sake of being different

Mine eyes are burning!

Absolute garbage

Can't say that I agree with them

All of a sudden VVD is average!! Rubbish

#4 a player who hasn’t played a single minute in the league yet?

The excitement is killing me! (smile)

Should be good, a range of assets on view for everyone.

Be interesting to see how Toney looks against a PL side, especially as West Ham have been putting out some strong sides so far this pre season, although their lack of depth may play a part in that

Something ManU?

I like the defence. Not sure on the Raph + Harrison double up. Maybe Harrison down to ESR and keep £0.5 itb to catch price changes after GW1?

Heavy on Man United. As much as I love my club I think we'll get done by Leeds due to lack of match fitness.

GTG

If you're not 100% on Cavani, him downgraded to a Nacho/Wilson could give you both Digne and Shaw (instead of White). Otherwise looks good.

Like everyone else's. Pretty good I guess.

I think I might go 0 United due to their COVID situation and lack of preseason. Leeds first game is probably one of the worst they could have. I have some money in reserve for Sancho if he proves worthwhile.

Try not to book in a transfer.

What's your thoughts on Sanchez vs Martinez as a set and forget?

Your risks are Sancho (match fitness), Mahrez (general rotation) and ESR (although he's got number 10, is he a definite starter), so make sure your fodders are 2 pointers.

Looks good. Mahrez is the type of player who will haul against Spurs and then get benched against Norwich in GW2. Don't book that transfer imo

Both ESR (if nailed) and Targett too expensive to be benched imo. I can see some headache incoming...

Any Arsenal fans around who can confirm how ESR has been looking in preseason?

Definitely keen to explore this idea more, I don't know if Fabio Silva is the answer though, I can see Jimi wrapping up the points, I'll need to look at his assist stats.

Read a headline yesterday that Fabio Silva is investigated by the authorities for something, so keep an eye on that in case he is put on garden leave.

He could, but he's really never shown anything since he's been at Wolves. I'd need to see something to move me.

A.

Like your username btw! A nation's hero

This is basically;

A) Holding/White, Buendia, Harrison, Cavani
B) Shaw, Raphinha, Fornals, Antonio

Sorry mate, had to make it clearer for me.

Would probably go with A.

B for ball

I'd say B but this Buendia instead of Raphinha for the start. I like the Fornals pick for 6.0.

Thanks guys for your feedbacks and @FPL Flair for the kind summary 🙂
I feel there is some optimization potential but the backbone of the team is almost there.
@Stormbringer22: Thanks. Once seen that guy playing back in the early 90ies you could never forget him.

Agree. Not keen on Robbo, when there are many excellent options at £5.0 - £6.0 bracket who can match him. TAA is enough

Agree, removed my double up due to it.

In fairness, they were awful defensively with their first choice back four at the start of last season and the end of the previous too.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the scoreline. A lot of chopping and changing in the team throughout the game. Just good to see the main players get mins under their belt

Can't see any of them becoming template tbh. Maybe Ziyech

Only if Ings go to Spurs , replace Kane and Tella nailed 90minutes alongside Adams.

Should be Sonny

80% possibilty , Son

Son or Alli imo

A is more nailed on. Not keen on Targett personally

A

Very likely! If you had to chose between Toney + £1.0 elsewhere or Antonio, who would you go for?

West Ham is not Chelsea.. chuck Norris can score 5 against them.

Whu only keep 4 Clean sheets since January.

Probably, he really is a great budget option and has been in basically all of my drafts.

What's the bench?

A

A.

I might just do Bruno to Mane and keep the 0.5 to get Bruno later.

It is wise to keep some money aside for a rainy day.

If you're confident in Mahrez's minutes I like it a lot. Cresswell's fixtures mid-long term would worry me but it's nice to see differentials on here.

Had the same thought earlier this morning and created my first BruNO and no United draft.

United have previous with slow starts when the team not fit enough.

Looks good. A day or 2 before deadline day we should hopefully know a bit more about the situation at United.

Say what?

Bud Light? I thought you guys liked darker ales and stouts.

First 100%. Greenwood hasn't shown anything in preseason.

A

Start ESR over Fofana GW1, otherwise really like this creative plan; as long you realize you will always need 2-3-4 moves to make changes bc structure changes. Also would consider White down to 4.0 and 0.5 itb for flexibility or reinvested elsewhere

A and B have one 'hard' fixture and C has two realistically. Always a big fan of Wilson because more often than not he only needs one goal for an automatic 9-pointer.

C

In some drafts I've toyed with having all three.

A

Yeah, bench too weak

Looking at similar in a 352 or 442 with one 7.5 striker sacrificed.

I'd probably swap AWB for Digne, whilst the bench is weak it's not actually bad, all of your players are nailed on, especially your front 6.

My only concern is that it's a bit unbalanced, I'd want a better back up midfielder.

B

Your A) is a non-starter, two fodders who don't play right?

Going with Mahrez for the first 2.
Then switching to either Sancho/Son
