Vinicious would be a season keeper for me if starting at that price.

Sterling Archer up front is genius, no wonder you were keen to post it for us. Thanks!

Very similar to my current draft just 3 players different

Don't understand the Enciso hype. Rather have Andreas Pereira at that price

lol, I have no idea what to expect form Spurs. I support them, so there's a chance we win the league. That might happen.

As long as they keep on trying to play out from the back as badly they did last season, I'll be happy when they play Newcastle.

He's definitely on my radar!

From Chelsea, I imagine. Liverpool should be all over it now Fabinho is off. Shame their owners have no ambition, would make the league more interesting.

Looks decent

Haven't been a customer for a couple of years, but I look at things like my profile page and one year on since it was introduced am still wondering:

What is "ACTIVITY LEVEL" and why does it "Need data"?
And why does the "Alerts & Notifications" page under 'edit profile' now never load in Firefox?
Why do I need to click seven times to reject/object to unnecessary cookies instead of once? There are many sites where clicking reject dismisses the cookie page. Seems dodgy hiding all the options in sub-menus.

Then I read complaints like yours and it doesn't fill me with confidence that things improve in the customer areas.

Agree with everything said. I have reluctantly rejoined this season, but if there is no members area where I can avoid the endless RMT / A or B posts and have grown up discussions about articles, I won't subscribe next time,

A well thought out and respectful post.

Here here. I had a membership for 3-4yrs or so. Only thing I miss is some of the detailed articles. Everything else is available elsewhere for free.

Correct, all we want is a decent members area where we can make the most of the stats. Have no interest in articles which just express the opinions of various content creators. Want to be able to make up my own mind based on data

For Two years this new members area is talked up when you want people money then nothing happens. How can you complain about other companies, when you treat your own members like just a cash cow

FFS robbing people blind for years now.

If you have any sense at all, you’ll cancel.

It’s been a mess of a site since Mark sold it.

Can you hear that? It’s the Hall of Shame calling you!

A for me

B. Puntier but worth a go.

Really tough one. Hard to ignore Trent. And on paper Mbeumo ‘should’ do very well.
James/Chilly still a gamble with their penchant for injuries, but I’d prob go Chilly out of the two. I have a feeling Son is going way under the radar and last season was just a particularly bad one for him. He’ll bounce back this year.
A is way more template, B could be differential and explosive.

Here’s Flynny with another A and B post.

Are you Scotty B in disguise?

Agree. Livefpl.net is amazing. And he seems like a humble guy

Hope he is OK

I believe he also has a distinguished career away from FPL.

If spending 9M on a pair of keepers I'd get a set and forget 5.0M keeper and a 4M backup.

I personally think Pickford and Leno makes for a good rotation pair. I wouldn't want to start either against high-quality attacks.

Flexibility is absolutely key to start the season. Two 4.5m forwards really restricts you. Tis like the gibbet in mine dungeon. Schar is an odd pick given Botman is there. Ederson should really be a 4.5 or 5m keeper I think. Good start but needs some work. Good luck.

Haaland missed 5 games last season. How will you cover that situation. Better to take 1.5m out of defense and invest in a 6.0m support fwd.

My opinion is Ederson and Schar are very strange picks when you don’t have a 2nd fwd.
Benching Chilwell?
I’d absolutely get a 4.5gk and 4.0 def and go a decent 2nd fwd.

RF to Hurnt. Serves me right for trying to be smart.

You can project all you like, but nobody has any idea how much gametime Enciso will get.

I don't have access to the tools so thanks for sharing this. I have the identical price structure and main players but for a laugh I have Rice as 4th Arsenal in the 5.5M slot and Simms* in the no-price-change 4.5M forward slot.

Hi Steevo.

Try Pinnock, Baldock > Mee, Guehi/Tarkowski/Mings and Enciso > 4.5 mid.

See how that goes in your projection, seeing as everyone is against having 5.5 mids.

Accept when one you are playing is on the bench then comes in later in the game for a one pointer?

But the premium defenders all did so poorly last year? TAA 150, Robbo 120, Chilwell 70, James 40, Cancelo 70- that would have been a huge a waste of funds to hold onto them

Delusional man. Comeon, wakeup.

There are no reliable starting 5.0 forwards with the exception of Luton's Adebayo, and possibly Vinicius if Mitrovic leaves Fulham and isn't replaced.
Midfield isn't much better - maybe someone at Bournemouth or the promoted sides.

Depends what you consider as a realistic 4.5m option. Is someone who regularly gets 1 point cameos really much worse than a 5.0m who regularly gets 2 points?

If they are 2nd or 3rd on your bench is it better to use that 0.5m on your starting players?

There are no guaranteed starting forwards at your asking price. This is why they cost £5m or less. Mubama (West Ham) is currently getting minutes and attacking returns. Vinicius (Fulham) will become an option if Mitrovic leaves.

In midfield, you have options like Enzo and Caicedo, who are more or less guaranteed 2 points per week, and more attacking-minded players a la Garnacho, Buonanotte, Kluivert, Ouattara, and Sarabia, but they may not be starters from the beginning. There is also Brownhill, which many believe is the best cheap pick you can get, and I also agree with them at the moment.

Bowen looked like the only creative player for West Ham last night. They didn’t see a lot of the ball. I like the cheaper mids from the teams that hold the ball.

A.

I prefer Salah and no TAA - still get 10 strong players each week and a compromise rotated player/first bench.

Still there, but you can't use it GW1.

No, you just can't use it in GW1.

It will be there from GW2

4.5 no more.

Miggy is 6.5, so maybe the same, but wouldn't be surprised if he was 7.0.

Can't at the moment but after the GW1 deadline, go to 'Pick a team', then 'Gameweek History' then send the web address for that page to them. They will be able to see your team for each GW in the 'This Season' section of that page

I love the use of olde english Tinman.

good for him,im on 35 k a year ,can pay my bills and absolutely content to be anonymous

He was offered more by other Premier League teams, and abroad. So clubs clearly feel he's worth the money.

That's about the same as Isak, Wilson and Bruno G combined.

Didn't know Chelsea is TOP6 material

Just guesswork at this stage but Colwill & Badiashile may be in competition for the LCB spot. Maybe Thiago Silva continues RCB, or Chalobah?

Not sure where Chelsea finish this season, but defence wasn't their problem last season. I think a starting 4.5 Chelsea defender would be very appealing, but too early to know who will be first choice or if they go with 2 or 3 CBs.

Per transfermarkt, when fit, he started 10, made 1 sub appearance & was an unused sub 7 times

Pretty well balanced. Although I don't see the point owning Botman if you aren't playing him GW1 because his next 3 fixtures are awful, he might have actually gone down in price by the time you first play him.

Looks fine. Personally not keen on the Spurs double up, but if you think Spurs do well this season then go for it.

It's awful. Littered with ads, poor UI/UX, a far cry from the clean minimalist homepage from a few years ago.

Taken the opposite approach to sites like Google.

More toolbars, more buttons, more moving banners, more collaborations, more noise.

Simplicity and quality is all people want.

This. Was always so minimal and clean in the past. Now it just looks cluttered and uneasy on the eye. It’s doing my OCD no favours at all.

100% agreed it looks a mess

Should we call it El Gwapo?
