FPL new signings: Pope to further improve Newcastle defence

Good for United. Not good for FPL.

Would stay away from Utd personally

1 and 3. Brighton might be a bit of an unknown with no Bissouma considering their poor record without him last season, but you know how a side under Potter will try to play. Wolves were very poor in the second half of last season and not really any sign of them improving the side yet

1+2.
I don't see BHA getting many cleansheets in the opening 6 GWs.

I like Wolves but only weeks 1-6

Great signing, for Arsenal as well as from an FPL perspective

Very interesting from an FPL perspective

Always felt like we never really knew how good he was, should find out now…

* Actually Trippier over Targett- got them mixed up.

Very good though possibly not Harrison

Well it certainly isn't template!

I would want one top level forward and one less heavy mid, plus defence is a bit light. Feels like all the eggs in the midfield basket for me, could work…

This is different. Good attack with an inexpensive D.

Salah to Dias and invest the change.

Saka (if on pens).

Saka between the two - but most likely Odegaard

F.U.N.

In lockdown people here played fantasy fantasy football, there're addicts among us and it's a fact.

My wife says that about fpl

Tbf the guesswork from livefpl is decent, wont be surprised if hes got a high accuracy rate. But ive done it our of boredom tbh

I think its the process of tinkering which is fun in itself even if you dont get to put the team into practice (of matches). Especially since all the transfer activity at the moment creates a constant refreshment of the player pool so you can try out new combinations frequently. No one is really trying to nail down their GW1 team right now as such - its not about the end point, its all about the process.

Is that the player they need ?

The waterboarding clinched it. Buying players who don’t want to join you always works well.

I don't share your faith in Wolves, but otherwise, it's very good.

Neto could be a great pick with Wolves opening fixtures.

Dreams can come true

AWB would need to start to have a chance.

I have 5 at the back but with both Salah and Haaland so covers your point around having the most expensive in each position. Granted in 541 takes two moves to bring in a second striker in which case 532 should allow for the flexibility your refer to

I'm sceptical about owning a City player because I think Pep will rotate more this season than he has ever previously done.

I may be wrong but Salah really hasnt filled me with any confidence that he will score lots of points next season. Hasn’t been the same player since AFCON and that is coming from a Liverpool fan. Can see a lot more value in having Dias instead and then get a different premium to Salah. KDB maybe.

I don't agree. Yes it is certainly a helpful situation to be in in terms of being able to move to any other player in one move, but there are a few different things to consider. One is value, and whether you think say TAA will provide worthwhile ppm at something like 8.5m relative to what someone like maybe VVD or Chilwell would at something like 6.5. Picking the most expensive assets may be worthwhile of course because of expected output, but are they providing enough value considering the limitations that places on the rest of your choices? The second thing is a lot more simple, if Salah blanks in GW1+2 while say Sterling picks up returns in both weeks, are you really going to drop someone like him that fast? I don't think it's really going to be the case, same for TAA. (Also for the record I'm not convinced Haaland will definitely be the highest priced forward, Kane was 12.5 last year and ended up the highest scoring forward despite being anonymous for about 24 weeks. Says a lot aboit forwards last season of course but also about how well he played once Spurs picked up their performances anf clicked under Conte.)

I don't agree with this, for the simple reason that the super premiums are not the players that I want to sell/rotate only a couple matches into the season. Maybe you can make an exception for Håland as a newcomer (bail if he clearly needs more time to settle), but with the likes of Son/Robbo, I'm not going to ditch them just because Salah or Trent outscored them in 1 or 2 GWs.

I'd rather build in some squad flexibility in, say, the 6.5 - 7.5m midfielder spot(s) - that's the sweet spot for rotating according to fixtures imo.

That would be a shock

Unpopular are different for the sake of being different? Not sure there much logic to support that and that’s from someone who think Arsenal have done well to get him.

Haaland is a beast. Provided he stays fit he’ll outscore Jesus

Not far off the sort of thing I’m thinking atm but Son + Matip -> Kulu + Trent. See comment above more reasoning.

Konsa $5m?

Ederson £6.0M

Denis Odoi - 4.0

My guess is ..... no price reveals tomorrow.

Where’s Ayling?

Llorente OOP

Gelhardt and Ayling are heartbroken

4.5 would be better

He aint that good

I meant why*

City game is away.

The fixture ticker is really subjective. As well, I don't see the Arsenal having an easy opening set of fixtures as the ticker suggests

Well he's still at Brighton.

No

Seriously doubt it.

Probably best not to get our hopes up til next week

Doubt they would priced him 4.5 now

Those of us who follow football outside of the EPL know how good he was in the Championship last season. Highly unlikely to be as cheap as £4.5M if at Forest .

*FPL changing his price to 5.0 after seeing the comments*

4) because there are cheap options in the other positions but very few forward options below 6 million that I can see

All of the above.

If just one then 3

I do love a good number 2.

Not entirely sure of the reasoning why yet but not looking good for Chelsea.

Chilwell.
All.
Day.
Long!

Both are on my wait-and-see list. The club in the former case; the player in the latter.

Chill

I love Chilwell as an FPL asset but at the moment Chelsea arent exactly filling me with confidence. Wasnt sure about Perisic due to competition from Sessegnon & the community article on Conte's subbing of WBs has made me even more wary. Starting to consider Romero if I get a Spurs defender

I'm not convinced Perisic will be a regular starter, there was a community article poster here recently showing the minutes of wingbacks under Conte when last at Inter (with 5 sub rule in effect) and he was rotated a lot but also subbed off a lot before 60 mins. Hasn't played in a league as demanding as the PL before too, I think he'll mostly be a rotational option and an extra squad man more than anything

First price reveal coming?

Yaaayyy

A part of me thinks they're canvassing the player base as they genuinely haven't a clue how to price him.

Romeu 4.5
reed 4.5
