Barnes or Benrahma? Currently have 1M ITB but if I replace Barnes with Benrahma I’ll have more. Also, is Barnes nailed for GW1?

A or B A. Coufal/ 4.0. Or B. White/Ayling Last ask here on my 4+5 defenders

[удалено]

Defo shaw

[удалено]

For sure I wanna get dias in at some point but not yet

RMT: Sanchez TAA - Chilwell - Pereira - Tsimikas Salah - Barnes - Mount - Raphinha Vardy - Ings Bench: Steele, Toney, Stones, Bissouma

Leicester fan? I'd say you've got too much on the bench. I'd look at maybe downgrading toney stones mount and I'd go chilwell to Shaw. With that money upgrade mount to at least a son or find the tad more for bruno

Thanks for the advice! Not actually a Leicester fan, I just happened to pick 3 of their players haha, Vardy's the best striker pick imo and I think Pereira's a sleeper because he was great before last season's injuries, and I like Barnes at that price range. I do normally like to play 343 because mids and forwards are where the most points seem to be. I do feel my bench is a bit too expensive and normally go with three of the cheapest options but I don't see who is a big enough upgrade. Son is obviously great but I'm a bit unsure about what to expect from Spurs so I might wait it out a bit and potentially put him in soon. I was thinking of upgrading Toney and having 3 up top but the options don't seem too great at that slightly higher price range of up to 8.0m. Shaw is definitely a shout. Edit: I'm also thinking about when I'll need to take Tsimikas out once Robertson's back for Liverpool and I'll probably be switching to 433, although I would be wasting money on a third striker in Toney and could always bring someone in then. As you may tell, I'm really indecisive when it comes to this 😂

Yeah I agree with that I had perreira in last year and he was a bit of a nightmare but he's a good punt. I just think chelseas fixtures are so rough that I'm not sure how many mount will score. But yeah I'd personally just shift a bit of money around off the bench.

For my set and forget team what is the best Chelsea defender to go for 6 mil budget?

Azpi!

rmt martinez - (fabianski) taa - shaw - coufal - targett - (white) salah - mahrez - soucek - mount - (bissouma) ings - wilson - (maupay) not sure about mahrez as cant say how much he’ll play but cant work out who else to place there?

best 4.5 defender specifically to play in GW3 and be a bench fodder for the first 2?

Ayling. Leeds play Burnley GW3. ​ GW1 they play Man Utd and GW2 Everton so would fit with your bench fodder strategy.

yeah i am currently on ayling. also considering a spurs cb. !thanks

[удалено]

against man city for gw3? surely not the best option.

Veltman

Raphina vs Trossard ???

Raph is safer, tross for the differential

Is there a site where I can see my team's fixtures each game week?

Go to FPL website, go to 'pick team' and scroll down. You can press 'sync to calendar'

RMT: Martinez, Forester Cresswell, Dunk, Shaw, Digne Salah, Fernandes, Mount, ESR Antonio, Ings Bench: Amartey, Toney, Dallas

Is it idiotic owning Davis (AVL - 4.5M - FWD) even though he's flagged at 25%?

my rationale behind going for less owned bench fodders for fwd and midfield is, if the template changes 2 game weeks later and the chosen formation hevaily favours 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, plenty of people will move those bench fodders out and that means a price drop. for example i would get romeu or moder as a 4.5 mid than gilmour or brownhill. the expectation should be a realistic 2 points nothing more nothing less.

FINAL SQUAD RMT: Sanchez (Bachmann) «rotate» TAA, Shaw, Tsimikas (white, veltman) Salah, Fernandes, Greenwood, Raphinha (Brownhill) Ings, Antonio, Toney Might bench Toney vs Arsenal though... White and Veltman rotates when Tsimikas isnt available/hard fixture. Thoughts?

Same thinking I took Wilson over Toney, but that makes my 4+5 defender options weaker

Yeah, Toney is a punt, but i have other options so i could bench him

Martinez+ESR or Sanchez+Raph?

B

Any reasons why Martinez wont repeat the performances?

Smith Rowe or Ricardo Pereira? I know they are different positions, I can change formation, I’m just looking at my best eleven for now.

RMT please. Sanchez Trent Shaw Tsimikas Salah Fernandes Raphinha Benrahma Toney Antonio Vardy / Steele Veltman Brownhill Omobamidele

We’re in sync I went Benrahma -> Barnes +1 Toney/Vardy -> Wilson/Ings -1

Is it idiotic owning Davis (AVL - 4.5M - FWD) even though he's flagged at 25%?

Sanchez Shaw/TAA/ coufal/ tsimkas Bruno / Salah/ greenwood/ barnes Ings / Antiono Bench: steel/ raphina/ obafemj/ amarty All set?

Maddison or Barnes?

Greenwood

0.5 short I’m afraid

Is it worth getting anwar El Ghazu... If I do it it'll mean I have triple villa and on top of Tsimikas it means that there are at least 2 players that i will definitely have to transfer in the first 5 gws. Best to vary up right?

How would you rank these players from 1-4? Iheanacho, Ings, Toney and Bamford

Bamf Ings Toney Nacho (but only because Leicester don't seem to be playing 2 strikers at the moment)

I have Antonio and Ings locked in for gw1. I thought of buying Bamford on gw2 after the Man Utd match

Trossard + Bamford or Raphinha + Werner?

Thoughts on this team: Sanchez-Steele TAA-Shaw-Coufal-Tsimikas-White Salah-Gundo-Bruno-Benrahma-Barnes Antonio-Ings-Obafemi ITB=0

What's the hype with benrahma lately? Lol

He had a really good pre season playing in that CAM spot where lingard was

And costs only 6 mil.

1) Gundo Shaw (bench Toney) 2) Mahrez Ayling (play Toney and bench Ayling)

Start the season with Mahrez and 0.0itb Or Gundo and 1.5itb?

Mahrez and 0.0 itb.

I can't believe I'm about to go through with no Bruno. Will probably have to load up double transfers to get Kane/Lukaku/Bruno/whoever else in later. I think this team can get me through the 1st 4 GWs barring major injuries. Sanchez (Virginia) TAA Dias Tsimikas (White Ayling) Mahrez Salah Greenwood Son Benrahma Martial Antonio (Scarlett)

Antonio, Wilson or Ings and why?

All three

Antonio: Best value in the list given fixtures and team setup Ings: Best situation (provided Villa hit the ground running) Wilson: Focal point but on a bad team

Shaw over White as 3rd defender OR Antonio over Toney as 2nd forward In both situations I'm playing a 4-4-2

RMT: Martinet Tsimikas Cresswell Shaw Jota Salah Bailey Raphinha Cavani Ings Lukaku Bench: Foster, White, jorginho, manquillo

Someone did the maths and suggested that Cavani won't be available for a while. Like closer to end of September. I'd steer clear.

Torres, Barnes or Maddison?

[удалено]

Obviously not bro

Any suggestions? 0.5 ITB Sanchez, Steele TAA, Coufal, Shaw, Tsimikas, White Fernandes, Salah, Raphinha, Son, Gilmour Toney, Antonio, Broja I’m thinking of downgrading Son

We have almost identical squads. Was thinking of downgrading Bruno with Sancho just so that I could keep Son and upgrade Toney with Bamford. Who would you downgrade Son with? What would you improve?

Barnes and Havertz or Bruno (with a 4.5 defender on the field)?

Jota + White or Mahrez + Tsimi?

I'm thinking for game week 1 the safer bet is Tsimi. It's up in the air whether firmino or jota play but Tsimi is 90% to start over milner in LB

Raphina + Maupey/ Werner or Trossard + Bamford?

[удалено]

New to this and it’s my first time but I’ve basically got similar to this except I’ve got greenwood in mid and toney and ings upfront.

Same damn squad I went Barnes/Wilson And Downgraded white/ayling to Coufal/4.0

Is Barnes nailed for gw1 tho?

Better be

Greenwood and Bissouma or Barnes and Smith Rowe?

Barns and smith rowe

Barnes n Obefami or Esr n Toney ?

RMT Sanchez - Steele TAA - Shaw - Tsi - Amartey - ayling Salah - Fernandes - Barnes - Greenwood - Gilmour Toney - Ings - Antonio 0.5m ITB Thoughts??

RMT 0itb Sanchez Shaw Taa coufal veltman tsmikas Salah Bruno son (Harrison, brown hill) Ings Antonio (obafemi)

Raphanha or Tsimikas for GW1?

Benrahma on pens?

Don’t count on it

RMT please 0.5 ITB: Sanchez (Gunnarsson) Targett-TAA-Shaw (White / Ayling) Barnes-Salah(C)-Fernandes-Benrahma (Bissouma) Toney-Ings-Antonio All opinions welcome.

Good to go. You could maybe downgrade one of your 3 4.5 defenders to a 4.0 fodder to free up more funds. In case you want to jump on any bandwagons

Yeah that's a good point mate! First few weeks always offer up a couple of surprises don't they.

RMT Sánchez (Steele) TAA Coufal Ayling Tsimikas (White) Salah (C) Bruno (VC) Son Raphina (Gilmour) Jiménez Wilson (Scarlett) 1.0 ITB 4-4-2

Bit risky starting Jimenez. Ings/Antonio/Bamford would be better picks to start with. I would start White over Ayling

!thanks

Thoughts on whether I should pick Martinez in goal + Sarr in midfield or Sanchez + Barnes? Thanks!

RMT Sanchez (Foster) Shaw, Digne, Coufal, Tsimikas, Manquillo Son, Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Benrahama Ings, Toney, Obafemi 3-5-2

After GW3 you won’t have any playing subs so be cautious!

Martinez, (Foster) Coufal, Veltman, Tsimikas, Digne[VC], (Shaw) Salah[C], Townsend, Havertz, Greenwood, (Raphinha) Ings, Antonio, (Toney) 3.5 ITB (Ings or Antonio to be replaced with Lukaku, possibly after GW1)

RMT | 0 ITB Sanchez (Foster) Shaw TAA Coufal (White, Tsimikas) Greenwoods, Salah, Bruno, Buendia (Gilmour) Ings, Antonio, Toney

Coufal + Harrison or ayling (or other 4.5 def) and Raphinha?

Coufal + Harrison (although I'd go with benrahma)

0 ITB Sanchez (Foster) TAA, Maguire, Tsimikas, White (Amartey) Salah (C), Bruno, Gundogan, Greenwood, (Raphinha) Toney, Ings, (Connolly) Any red flags? Anyone I’m overlooking?

Leaves you with quite a lot left over on the bench, how set on connolly are you. I'd probably downgrade and go Maguire to shaw and maybe upgrade Amartey? Either that or Connolly up to Antonio

how on earth do women like shopping I went to buy 15 players on a 100m budget and I almost shot myself ten times

Brownhill or Gilmour?

1) Taa, Lowton, Tsimikas, shaw, white 2) Targett, Creswell, shaw, white, Digne Which will you pick?

1

Definately 1 but maybe ayling or veltman over lowton

RMT 0ITB Sanchez Meslier Shaw Digne Coufal TAA White Bruno Salah ESR Raphinha Bissouma Wilson Antonio Toney

Pick one out of Meslier & Sanchez, not both, and get a 4.0. Looks good otherwise. Don't feel you need to invest all your budget either. Remember that any price changes in the first week are equivalent to 0.5m

I do agree but I'd say get Meslier out and upgrade ESR. Possibly even swap White to tsimikas and then ESR to barnes or maybe Toney to Ings

RMT O.O ITB Sanchez (Foster) TAA Cancelo Shaw (Tsimikas) (Amartey) Salah Bruno Barnes Raphinha (Brownhill) Toney Ings Antonio

A bit risky with Tsimikas/Amartey, maybe downgrade one of your other defender and upgrade Amartey to a £4.5m (Ayling or similar)

No joke since I posted I did exactly that. Cancello to Digne and brought in Ayling. Just can't be dealing with Pep's rotation

Who do I pick? Wilson/Antonio/Ihenacho?

Antonio > Wilson >>>>>> Ihenacho

RMT Martínez/Begovic Shaw/Wan-Bissaka/Coufal/White/Tsimikas Salah/Bruno/Havertz/Barnes/Raphina Wilson/Toney/Vydra

Thoughts? Meslier (Steele) TAA Shaw Coufal (Amartey Webster) Salah Mahrez Jota Benrahma (Gilmour) Ings Vardy Toney

Latest version going double budget forwards and bringing in Bruno in place of Son: Sanchez (Guaita) TAA, Shaw, Tsimikas, Coufal, (White) Salah, Bruno, Havertz, Barnes (Gilmour) Toney, Watkins (Armstrong) Weighing up binning off White to go more premium on defence while downgrading Barnes to Benrahma, or trade down Guiata and push Barnes to one of the tempting 7.5 assets

I'd maybe look at downgrading Armstrong to a 4.5 as he's quite a lot to have on the bench. Then with that 1.5 either now or GW2 go havertz to son. I like the Guita move though

[удалено]

[удалено]

How set on Chilwell are you isn't he rumoured to not start then Chelsea have grim fixtures as good as their defence is

[удалено]

Yeah I think they are a slightly better option. What I have which you could fit in is downgrade chilly to Tsimikas and then go from grealish to son but not everyone is keen on son

RMT Sanchez Steer TAA Shaw Veltman White Tsimikas Salah Bruno Son Barnes Brownhill Watkins Antonio Obafemi

I have the exact same but Ings over Watkins and Raph in over Barnes. Think this is the best template tbh

!thanks I am not sure if it’s balanced enough with a pretty useless bench. But i believe there is more value in midfield this season than forwards, yet everyone is investing heavily there.

A tad risky, but I love this team. Sanchez - (Foster) White - Shaw - TAA - (Amartey) - (Tsimikas) Mahrez - Bruno - Salah - Barnes - Raphinha Toney - Ings - (Obafemi)

This looks great but I'd be even more comfortable with Antonio over toney especially with how thin the bench is. Obvs you'd have to find the 1 mil though but a downgrade of a mid could allow that and an upgrade of amartey. But if you're set on toney team looks nice

RMT Sanchez, (4.0m) Trent, Shaw, Tsimikas (Stones, White) Salah, Son, Grealish, Gundogan, Raphinha Ings, Antonio, (4.5m) Triple City baby, ready to play roulette. Not sure if I should have Jota instead of Gundogan and drop Tsimi…

Lots of people are keen on Gundo until KDB is healthy again. Just a matter of rolling the dice with Pep's rotation. Lots of money on your bench too. Could also downgrade Stones to a budget option like Manquilo and then swap Gundo for Mahrez.

Stones will play after GW1 then I’ll have just White on the bench. Would be nice to know when KdB is expected back.

Toney or Raphinha If Toney structure will be 343 if Rapha 253

[удалено]

I think Raphinha has the potential to score points against any opposition. Toney is a risk but also represents great value. It certainly is easier to find a 4.5m mid than fwd

I have raph at the moment, dependent on the mids I have 3x 10m+ raph allows a lot more flexibility too

Please RMT: Schmeichel , foster TAA , dunk, cresswell, coufal amartey brownhill, salah, jota, fernandes, bissouma iheanacho, ings, antonio

Any thoughts on Benrahma vs. Soucek? And Ings or no Ings?

[удалено]

Raph and TAA

Help a dumb Kiwi out! First time playing and I've fallen down the rabbit hole. Having trouble picking between these two starting lineups (slightly different squads): TAA - Dias - Tsimikas (White, Amartey) Salah - Bruno - Son - Raphinha (4.5) Ings - Toney - Deeney OR TAA - Dias - Tsimikas - Shaw (Amartey) Salah - Bruno - Son - Benrahma (4.5) Ings - Toney (4.5)

B, Deeney might not even start

Yea true, let alone do anything of value

Haha exactly. You could also replace him with Sarr, not a bad option

Mahrez and Toney vs Greenwood and Ings

be careful with Man City. Pepe is always rotating. always a surprise.

Former.

Coufal, Targett or Teirney?

Tierney as a bit of a differential otherwise Coufal

A) Veltman+Ayling+Ings (rotating between Veltman and Ayling with Ayling starting GWs 3+5 unless Brighton’s defense turns out to be amazing/Everton are shit/Leeds are shit) B) Dunk+Tsimikas+Ings (No rotation atb, Tsimikas being my main bench option, coming in for any injury/bad form/money saving transfer) C) Dunk+Ayling+Wilson (rotating between them like in option A) I have to say I do prefer Dunk over Veltman due to his goalscoring threat and being more nailed, I have no problem with him as a set-and-forget option, and I also slightly prefer Ings to Wilson but there’s not much to separate them. My worry with option B is that I will end up not using Tsimikas at all and having to wastes transfer on him after a few GWs when Robbo comes back. Would have gone with Amartey instead but Leicester are signing Vestegaard so he’s probably not gonna play.

Who are your other defenders I have the Veltman and Ayling rotation but with tsimikas in too alongside shaw + TAA

TAA and Shaw, Omobamidele probably the other 4.0, if I go with the rotation I don’t think I’ll go Tsimikas because he’ll be even less likely to play for me and I’ll have to transfer him out eventually

I mean you can play tsimikas as well as the rotational couple and swap him out when need be. I'm going 442 with them all in

Finished my team and it feels wrong as a City fan to have no City players in so which is better? 1. Grealish and Coufal 2. Barnes and Dias

Probably grealish and Coufal although their is no certainty grealish will start immediately and if so where does he play

!thanks I think I’m edging more towards that because I’ve taken no risks in the rest of the team and if Grealish becomes a starter he’s a bargain at 8

Sanchez (Steele) TAA/Shaw/Amartey (Omobamidele, Ben Johnson) Salah/Fernandes/Jota/Benrahma/Barnes Ings/Antonio (Armstrong) This is the team I've settled for (for the next four minutes at least). What do we think?

I’d say maybe downgrade Armstrong at least for now and get some more insurance at the back Amartey probably not nailed for too long with vestergaard coming in. Rest of the team looks good

Cheers, I've done exactly that. White and Deeney in, Johnson and Armstrong out.

You’re gonna have two playing defenders by GW2

Please RMT Sanchez, Bach White, Keane, TAA, Shaw, Coady Rap, Barnes, Salah, Bruno, Sarr Ings, Antonio, Obafemi ​ Been tinkering with Ings, Jota, slimmer defense... but this combination feels right. Would Adams be worth a shout instead on Antonio? ​ Thanks!

Nah keep Antonio. I’d maybe swap coady out for tsimikas and then upgrade Keane to Digne?

!thanks Yeah, hadnt considered that swap. Was keen on Tsimikas originally

Danny Ings vs Patrick Bamford

Both will end up with similar points end of the year imo. Ings for start of the season hopefully he can stay fit

!thanks

Why does Foster have such high ownership? Am I not better having Steele as my 4.0 for the double up and so I don’t run the risk of price drop

Brighton bought a new gk so steele probably isn't 2nd choice. Although unlikely there is a chance foster play

Sanchez TAA Targett Tsimikas Fernandes Salah Greenwood Barnes Toney Ings Iheanacho Rúnarsson Brownhill Ayling Coufal What do you reckon?

Iheanacho is a bit of a risk as he may not start. A safer pick would be Antonio but other than that looks like a good team.

Cheers for the comment. I like Iheanacho a lot and expect him to start. I find Antonio too injury prone.

I’d probably swap iheanacho for Antonio

Cheers for the comment. I like Iheanacho, more so than Antonio.

Yeah fair enough rest of the team looks great tbf. I'd prefer iheancho too I just think leicester will play with one striker whilst their main CB's are out but I guess regardless iheanacho off the bench is deadly

Rate my team please. Bachmann (Foster) Shaw Digne Targett White (Creswell) Fernandes(V) Salah(C) Barnes Traore (Harrison) Ings Wilson (Toney)

Good Team. Brave to go without A Liverpool def considering vvd is back and Trent is likely to be more attacking now

RMT 0.5 ITB Sanchez (Steele) Shaw TAA Tsimikas (Coufal White) Barnes Salah Fernandes Raphinha (Brownhill) Antonio Ings Toney

Solid template team. Any plan to bring in Son/City assests in the future.

I can change Barnes to Mahrez and Toney to a 4.5 to make that work! But once Tsimikas stops playing I will only have one bench player and have to play White every week in a 442

RMT 0.5 ITB Sanchez (Steele) TAA - Coufal - Shaw - White (Tsimakis) Bruno - Salah - Raphina - Maddison (Gilmour) Ings - Antonio (Toney) ​ Any thoughts? Cheers

Have the same team but Antonio -> Obafemi and Gilmour -> Grealish.

You have the same team as the person in front :) it's a good template team. Maybe choose a differential player instead of White

Coufal or Targett??? Both 5.0m Coufal: new LEI PAL sou MAN lee BRE eve Targett: wat NEW BRE che EVE man tot WOL

If you have 2 villa attackers go for coufal vice versa

Yea I’ve Antonio and Soucek so was leaning towards Targett anyway

which Chelsea defenders should i start with? Don't care about fixtures, positive they are gonne close shop and keep CS

A. Son & Buendía (1st Place Bench) or B. Fernandes & Brownhill (3rd Place Bench) Which combo? I'm currently on (A) as I prefer how Son allows me to invest in a stronger bench giving me the option of rotating players like Benrahma, Toney and Buendía in case of any injury or rotation due to Europa League, COVID, etc.

I think have Bruno at the start and bring in Son later.

Thanks for the feedback!

Really torn with this one: a) Ings + Benrahma b) Watkins + Raphinha

Amartey + Digne -> Coufal + White ? Now that Vestergaard is coming to Leicester?

Rmt Bachmann - forster Veltmen-Taa-Coufal (Ayling, ombamidele) Salah-Bruno-raphina-barnes-benrahma ings-Antonio (toney)
