FPL 2024/25 pre-season minutes tracker: Every player, every game

Completely different from mine. Have foden Watkins isak taa eze jota gabriel..

Different. I like it.

-Lol @ onana. Sanchez decent option if he plays ahead of Petrovic.
-Great defence
-L Diaz min risk with Gakpo, Jota and Nunez looming. Very decent if remains a starter tho, Not sure about the last 2 picks
-Havertz remains unreliable despite a good last season. Prefer whoever starts between Gakpo and Nunez.

Eze & Havertz

A for me

Add in the mid choice and forward choice even if they're the same price and then we can compare properly imo.

I think 7.5m mids for instance are better than 7.5m fwds. So that might make the Haaland option a bit more appealing.

Haaland + Gordon + 4.5m def
vs
Salah + TAA + Mateta

Something like that is a more accurate comparison. And I think it's kinda close esp if that 7.5m fwd isn't clear.

Different season this time. I urge you to give it a try!

Hall could be a tasty pick if he gets lots of mins

Defence looks weak, rest good

Fixtures mainly

Fixtures. An opportunity to see how Hammers set up under new management.

That's tough. See how preseason goes.

Happy enough with Havertz plus one defender in a rotation.

Have Saliba. Very subject to change.

No arsenal at the moment targeting the fixtures normally wildcard around 4,5,6 weeks so works out ok for me.

Yes, I don't love the games.

Probably no Arsenal or Man City for me until first wild card

I think you can fade Arsenal assets to start. There are better options in each position.

Thinking I'll probably go without Arsenal defence for that run. Maybe 1 attacker (probably Havertz) who I sell GW5 before WC6.

But I think I overplayed the fixtures (i.e. overadjusted for them) with Arsenal & City last year tbh, and I've not really got many other ideas for my 3rd defender yet, so if I start to think longer-term maybe Saliba will find his way in

I like it. I'm also in the no Salah/Haaland gang atm.

Good team. I'm bermtwixt and between Solanke and Pedro. Will Coady be nailed on? Considered him, went with Faes for now.

thanks!

Only takes a Martinelli purple patch for him to get benched, plus he only plays an hour even if he does start.

Martinelli is always a threat

Unfortunately no. A good preseason could easily see Martinelli start and Arteta has also used Jesus on the left.

I don't think so. Despite a rough season I wouldn't write off Martinelli

Good. Have you money in the bank?

For Villa's sake I would not. The weak link in that team.

Signed a new RB - Nedeljković, but he's only 18y/o and £4m. Konsa might play there though

Currently yes.

He played well at Walsall last night.

B with Munoz or Maatsen

Would you want to freehit 1st gameweek 🙂

I had him at the start and the end of the last season, but at 6.5 I think there are now better more attacking options

18 goal contributions from nearly half the xGA is just not sustainable. You could have Kudus, Garnacho, Bailey, etc at that price or the likes of Eze for 0.5 more.

Have you been accessing my internet history?

Talkshite have an article: https://talksport.com/football/1971303/premier-league-players-paris-olympics-return-date-alvarez-mateta/

Haven't seen one but I do understand Mateta is in the provisional France squad and may miss the 1st 3 weeks - think this might have an impact on Eze who seems to be in a lot of current drafts.

As per your post below Haaland needed for game week 2?

This is Haaland we’re talking about… and with new transfer rules it makes it easier to only have him for the games where he probably will get 9+ points ie against every team outside the top six.

I thought of it as Haaland = Watkins + Muniz. He didn't even outscore Watkins last season, never mind the 2 combined.

It was his ownership (and tons of cheap options) that made him so undroppable last season, despite his output dropping by about 25%. This year's price hikes should put a stop to that, and with Foden being so generously priced, I'm really not that worried about him.

I suppose their aim was to reduce his ownership and make things a bit more varied. They've probably achieved that.

Looks good. Burn might not start though...

Really like it, particularly the midfield and defence. Will be looking at something similar. Agree regarding Burn, not a pick I would opt for.

Almost identical to mine but I have Mateta instead of Eze. How you feeling about no salah/Haaland?

I quite like it, but I do feel one of Salah or Haaland are quite important

No Pool, good team otherwise.

What's the price difference in pints? 😉

It’s not too big, you’ll get used to it.

Have the 15PM

Saka over Son for me, don’t really see the need for Joao Pedro with five good mids and five playing defenders.

Might be good to monitor how Fulham defend without Palhinha before getting their defenders. I'm not a fan of Henry either. Rest of the team looks good.

Alvarez has had no break and is now going to the Olympics

I like it! Not sure about Rodri. Check Alvarez, could be sold and/or late start because of Olympics. Mateta might also be late after Olympics.

HG

Havertz Gordon.

With Saka & Pedro you get pens.
