FPL 2024/25 team previews: Brentford – Best players, predicted line-up + more

Decent, if you're set on going without Haaland, which I think is a bad move in general.

Haaland banging them in pre-season, hattrick last game. Not worried?

I only spot 3 premiums there pal

Elanga is way better than CHO

*Garnacho

If dodging both you should have a stronger squad that can adapt to fixture changes, in my opinion. In particular a very strong defence where you don't have to play anyone, even a premium, in a poor fixture.

Schadey Grove, my little love
Schadey Grove, I say
Schadey Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in town

Oh, Schadey Grove, my little love
Schadey Grove, I say
Schadey Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a big, fine horse
And corn to feed him on
And Schadey Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone

Is Haaland in your team? Been set on BB1 WC2 for a while but Chelsea's horrible defending in preseason is worrying me.

Winks

Oscar "Sideshow" Bobb!

I’m hearing Kevin Schade could be one.

Jacob Murphy.

Jayden Bogle

Son/Saka (10m bracket), Eze and Nkunku are the only ones I am currently happy with.

MGW
Mbuemo

What formation do you prefer? 352 or 343?

Mbeumo Eze Saka Nkunku is how I'm rollin'

I would do but I just prefer Isak at home to promoted.

Yes, thinking same.

Gonna WC him in for GW2. Alongside Palmer and a defender/keeper.

Think they will do well from GW2 and up till Liverpool in 8

I want to observe Chelsea first. I went with Sterling and Jackson first off last season and they both turned out to be like sewing a cow’s udder to your cheek - painful and unnecessary!

I've been persuaded. But only in combination with Palmer, who I think is nigh on essentially.

Cracking. WC GW2?

Hasn't featured.

Only started his preseason on Monday

I don't like the Guardiola pick. I would go with ten hag.

Pretty spot on. Maybe doubts about Sanchez?

Most galling (galling!) to me is how for the purposes of Youtube videos, this community let alone paid subscribers may as well not exist. It's all about engaging with the people who show up, in the moment to watch the video - for free I might add. I understand it's about driving engagement and making more money, but if the community starts to feel like an afterthought they/we won't stick around.

It used to be that questions for the Scoutcast used to come from a hot topic. There is no reason not to continue this, except for the commitment to sacrificing the FFS community on the altar of growth. SAD!

Used to get a lot more stats and data analysis but that is all restricted to members only now. It's just pushed me to listening to FPL YouTube videos (whilst I work) and they often give you all the stats and data analysis you need.

I have noticed a drop off in article quality in recent years and a replacement with filler content from so-called Pro Pundits. In some cases - Simon March, Lateriser - they are interesting, thoughtful pieces, but in most cases they are just someone who likes FPL listing their squad. When I read team reveals I find myself thinking "who cares?"

Articles like Big Numbers, Say What?, Lineup Lessons etc all used to be very good. All of those have disappeared in favour of filler now.

I agree, I am also frustrated by;

- £3.29 monthly billed annually, the season ends in May, so why am I paying a 12 month subscription for a season that doesn't run for 12 months?
- Features people have been requesting for a long time don't get implemented such as; Dark Mode, easier ways of changing avatar, private messaging feature
- In ability of blocking certain posters troll comments
- Lack of direction to areas kills debate/conversations, took me ages to realise hot-topics were on the right hand side, even now I often forget to check for that

Still the original and best Fantasy Football site on the planet.
Still a tad wet middle class-ish but we can't have it all.

It’s frustrating the amount of articles that are now locked out to non subscribers for sure. Still, the best tool for casuals is still this chat. Every trend from pre season and the member stats eventually gets posted here, for free.

VVD is easily worth the extra 0.5 with the attacking threat and baps

Had him but switched to VVD.

Would still love to have him instead of Pope, but just can't snip that 0,5 from the team.

Reply fail to Go-On-Son. 🙁

The fact that after all these years you still can't delete or edit a post is amazing!

Turner will go in value/won't play. Quansah is iffy for minutes, need to keep a close eye it, decent cover I suppose!

Mavididi seems like a differential for the sake of it

Fair enough. Personally I think Leicester will struggle

I'd love him in as a pool fan. We haven't been the same since Fabinho declined

There are loads. Nkunku no.1 for me, followed by Johnson/Kulu, Bailey, and Kudus if you're not out off by the fixtures. I'm not a fan of MGW but I can see the appeal there with him being 100% nailed and on pens

Put off*

If you prefer Muniz just get him. United isn't even a tough fixture really

Bench 4mil Lewis, Winks 4mil

3rd times a charm

Pope
Hall Saliba Porro
Saka Rashford Jota Nkunku
Isak Haaland Solanke

4mil Lewis winks 4mil

Every year the players to target should have a number of the following qualities

1.Tailsmen on set pieces
2. Underpriced due to previous injury / rotation / lack of form / different manager
3. Good fixtures
4. No rotation , good minutes
5. Good fixtures

Wood based on this just has good fixtures

B

Man deserves and needs a longer holiday than that.

Saka only started preseason on Sunday.

I can't see Arteta wanting to start the season without his strongest XI, which will include the likes of Saliba, Saka & Rice.

like when Stoke where finally relegated in 2018

They say that about Brentford every season though, yet here they are again

Which of the promoted teams do you think has the best chance of staying up?
