FPL 2023/24 pre-season page now live

First comment on the first article of the 23/24 season. It doesn't get much better than that.

'Ave it.

1st as usual. When are we expected to start paying membership again?

The price-by-price, position-by-position rundown of every asset in FPL is the best article of the season. If Neale doesn't write them, I'm rioting.

Mbeumo

Arnaut Danjuma

Billing

Nathan Ferguson

All fixture dependent, of course, but I'm getting strong Yoane Wissa vibes

The thing about the Neto pick I did not get (which is why I never picked him)
1) He played for a team who scored few goals
2) His pick seemed more in hope than expectation

The Bailey pick was a much better one but the problem was Gerard he did not start him consistently. So that one flopped for different reasons.

Nathan Tella if Burnley sign him

Gnonto/Summerville/Sinistera if they join a prem team

McNeil.

Missed Benrahma's early hauls last season because I ignored his pre-season form. Going to give it a tad more weight this year, but still not too much.

Take the template route with you favorite low owned player. not too much ground lost if things don't work out. Porro will probably be my picj if he looks like playing and remains a defender.

“Never bet on the first 3 or the last 3 weeks of the season” is some good advice I got once.

Have they put in the selected quotes of TKT yet?

Needs three Spurs.

Two *s is poor form.

* and ** is the answer in future.

Wouldn't have a 5.5 CB in my team. Especially when he has zero attacking potential. Also Sterling pick isn't inspiring. Also i dont like Gakpo when there are fwds like Mitro Watkins. others good

Amazed you have no Everton I foresee a lot of value there - keeper - defence - midfield.
Noway Odegaard and Jesus will be at that price. Diaz will be good value since he was injured for most of the season.

Not sure why anyone would pick Jesus after he scored fewer goals than the likes of Mitrovic, Wilson, Rodrigo with similar/more minutes.

I like the Sterling pick.

I think he's a hugely underrated player, and if it looks like he's key in Poch's plans and the fixtures/price line up, I'll probably take the plunge.

He's got a long history of attacking returns for Liverpool, City, and England. Managers love him because of his workrate off the ball and in defence. He's a potential sleeper, so I'm going to keep an eye on him in pre-season.

.
Porro could be great, very high ceiling. But I hear this new manager is very attacking and stubborn about his principles, I watched a few interviews, and he will absolutely NOT change his high pressing aggressive play style. So he may be getting Spurs playing in a way they're not really suited to playing, and it could be rocky for a while. Could be a Rangnick situation. I'm cautious with Spurs...

Im not a Liverpool fan but I'd love to see MacA in this team. I think suits perfectly and he will be a massive signing. I like the look of Liverpool a lot. I cant see them outside top 3 for sure

Agree, great value.

This is daylight robbery and it could easily be the best value-for-money signing of this transfer window.

The West Ham Board are here? Awesome!

True but is is a third tier European Cup. Because of rebranding it has got a bit more kudos.
But I remember how people used to laugh at the Intertoto Cup. Teams from England did not want to play in it. How times have changed!

West Ham winning a competition that Spurs were favourites in would be very funny.

I think he will improve the team more broadly and thus Liverpool assets across the field.

Liverpool midfielders have always been dead picks - they’re jobs are to get the ball to the fullbacks.

Probably a wait and see but I imagine he will be a very good pick as long as his price isn't massively inflated.

Deal probably done already, realistically.

I'd be so happy if we sign him. Big statement signing for sure

Son when he drops to 8m and goes on his annual purple patch.

Son, Kyogo Furuhashi ( who I think he will bring from Celtic ) and Richarlison

Maddison and Foruhashi

They will be relegated without Kane

Changed the pitch up.
Schmadtke's big job.

It took me a long time, but I've finally figured out what you mean by nudists 😆

The beach would be my guess.

The Railway Public House, Burnham-On-Sea

To the beach, of course. Don’t go there during the season grind because the sunlight disallows me from seeing my electronic/digital screens necessary to play FPL.

The LIV defectors made out like bandits. Took the huge bonuses and only missed the official PGA tour for a year or two. Rory and the rest must feel massively disappointed in more ways than one.

They do the 28 points of hits I took more than doubled my OR.

Definitely.

The very best players average around 6pts per game. Take away 4pts and you're left with just appearance points, essentially what a 4.5m DM sitting on your bench can do. So the transfer can often wait one more week.

If it's a key player with a top fixture then it's often worth it. But that is something you can plan for, and book in advance, so you don't need a hit in the first place. Got to prioritise where you spend those precious FTs.
