The best strikers for Sky Fantasy Football before Overhaul

No. Back up

he's their best right back but Bruce has messed around with Jacob Murphy at right wing back in another system. for some reason he also rates Krafth who by all accounts of all newcastle fans I know and what i've seen of him is awful. so to answer ur question it depends on whether Bruce plays 4 atb and plays his best right back which I can't actually answer. I wouldn't be relying on him to be nailed in my team every week put it that way.

I thought it’s called price point.

If Nuno can sort their defence, they have some fantastic options tbh.

Considering you can get reguillon for the same price it’s not that great really

never had any joy with a sp*rs defender, except Bale. But that was different.

avoiding for fpl and personal reasons

Beast of a mid.

a lot of planned transfers and 0 bench depth, any injuries or unexpected rotation and its hit central. I do like most/all of ur picks though and the structure is okay. I would just be prepared to be more flexible as its unlikely for a 3 week plan worth of transfers to fall perfectly into place.

3-5-2 from the off, yeah? I've been on 3-4-3 for the past number of weeks, but am seriously tempted to go with the former.
Team looks good, BTW - hard to pick any holes... 😎

Cash to 4.5
Oma to 4.5

Liking the Cash pick - looked really good in Villa's friendly yesterday (nice assist for the Young goal)

For 3 weeks you can't go far wrong with that.

I know Virginia is a non-entity, but if it matters to you he'd be 3rd choice behind Begovic now.

I personally don't like 2 x 4.0 defence, but may be okay to start.

Who is Baah?

really like this. quite similar to my draft would say its more than g2g for 3 weeks.

great team but Raph or barnes
Gundo or Jota or Greenwood

Answered your own question there. If you want a Toon, Willock's joining and he's 6m

He’s great if you time him right, but as he’s a forward maybe just go for Willock.

think he is a non option to be honest. even pukki + 0.5 entices me more

fair enough, moved some money around and got Wilson in, which is who I originally wanted... Means I have to go without Mahrez, but he always lets me down anyway

I have amartey instead of tsimikas, but otherwise identical team. So it must be good...

Dodgy assumption. I'm on Benrahma and he IS a rotation risk.

Benrahma

Benrahma

Sarr sure

Benrahma but agree that the non-rotation thing is a big thing to assume and kind of important not to ignore.

Mbuemo

doubt it

I'd have said not. He'll get 30 mins I think

Nope

I think he will. Who else could Pep play? Edozie again?

64 minutes exactly. You read it here first.

It looks but I would use that 0.5m to upgrade Amartey maybe.

Also worth considering Mahrez over Son.

Gundo.

Gundo I think early on with no KDB

Gundo

I feel good about Gundo at least until KDB gets back. Feel like he has license to get up among the chances. Once KDB is back and Grealish is fully on board, I stop feeling so confident about Gundo's minutes and how he gets deployed.

Barnes and Dias unless u have a plan for the money ITB i'd rather have the money on the pitch

Barnes

Dias

No

I have one asset between the two of them and feel fine about that until the fixtures turn around week 7.

Liverpool + United to start with. City + Chelsea from GW7 or 8.

Looking at the top scorers from last season, you can see that you could easily win FPL and never have a player from either.

3. Could be the only chance you get to see him play.

A. Feel like it might take a few games for City to start firing.

B

B with canc for me

What a question.

Tsimikas (depends on extent of Robbo injury but gamebreaking if plays), Amartey (nailed for a few weeks until CB returns from inj)

Brownhill, Gilmour

In at least the short term, best 4m defenders are Tsimikas and Amartey because there's a route to playing time for decent teams. Longer term I am keeping an eye on Brandon Williams to see if he goes out on loan to a team where he will get regular play. Southampton just took on a loanee from Chelsea who might amount to something.

Best 4.5m to me is Gilmour. Playing time and upside. At worst he's a regular 2 points a week security blanket on the end of the bench. Some early interviews suggest that the might be asked to be a bit more involved in the offense than he showed at Chelsea. I'll let some Brownhill supporter make the case for him. I'm open to be convinced as well.

Gundog certain starter you think?

No City, Son or Jota?

I think it's pretty unlikely but you never know, I think as risks go it's a pretty small one, chances are your 4.0 won't play either way so only way to spread the risk is 2 x 4.5 from different teams

Unlikely to be any playing 4.0 GKs anyway. So even if your keeper's game is cancelled, it's unlikely your 4.0 gk would be playing.
If you're set on 4.5 and 4.0, best to at least cover the eventuality of GK injury.

Yeah it’s very common. That’s what I’m doing.

If a game does get cancelled and you have no keeper it's not the end of the world.

Ings

No

Benrahma, Buendia is a doubt for gw1

Isn't there some injury doubt hovering over Buendia? Don't quote me on that, but there's been a buzz on the board.

1. TAA, Tsim, Salah
2. Greenwood
3. Antonio
4. Bruno + other

-TAA, Salah, Jota
- Gundo
-Antonio
-S&M

1 Salah TAA Jota
2 Jota
3 Antonio
4 Son Mahrez

I went Greenwood to allow for 2 Liverpool spots in defence but would go jota all other things being equal

Think just the fact he'd have to replace Salah or Fernandes, both of whom are way more reliable and tend to score more points?

People are theorising he's one of the 4 that want to leave. Played very, very little at the end of last season and Grealish has played LW more often than not before so he might be direct threat unless he's wanted to play in an 8 or 10 role.

You are far braver than I am if you're considering starting an 11.0 asset who has zero preseason minutes.

As a City fan, I was happy to read that the club is re-opening discussions with him about a contract extension, but I don't know about leaning on him for week one. Wait for Pep's presser, but I feel like there's better places to park the money for the first week or two at least.

I wouldn't put a ton of stock into Saturday's game unless you want to reach a general conclusion that the season is starting too soon for City to be firing on all cylinders.
