Other than Salah, name me an attacker that will start 6 games in a row without using the word 'if'? That's the problem with Liverpool, Nunez or Gakpo can easily get a brace off the bench so you are better off with a player who plays the full 90
@@ScottFree-GB if you think that liverpool attackers can get a brace from the bench it doesn't matter that much if they start 6 times in a row or not. Just play them anyway. Like håland.
I'd argue against picking Garnacho, tbh. I don't think Garnacho is nailed, right now, for a couple of reasons. 1) Amad has been Uniteds best player in pre-season by some distance and has started every game. He's a very different kind of player to Garnacho, and ten Hag is now implementing the style he used at Ajax, rather than a counter-attack, half-field press, as he has the last two seasons, which makes technical inside forwards like Amad, a more valuable type of player than the pacey wingers that were favoured the past two seasons. 2) Garnacho is a left winger who played on the right to fit Rashford in. Rashford is a very useful player because he's both fast and technical, and better at both aspects than Garnacho is. Garnacho is great but the main part of his game is skinning full-backs, and he's simply not that fast, so he looks a hundred times better coming off the bench against tired legs. He isn't going to be able to do what he did in the charity shield, if he starts. 3) Sancho, Rashford, Mount and Amad have all been learning the new system all summer and constantly rotating between the frontline positions during each match and between them took 95% of the minutes in pre-season. EtH's 4-2-3-1/4-2-4 high-press isn't a simple system to understand, especially for the front-line, and I can only assume that with most international players only being with the squad just over a week, we're not going to see any of them get the majority of minutes until after the next international break, as they learn the teams new tactical set up.
I'll rather have Smith-Rowe plus the 1m. The 6.5 & below players have too many downsides. Even Kudus is problematic because of West Ham's new signings. If you have an extra 0.5 Eze, they don't have Hodgson and Hodgson had that "we only lost 1-0" attitude despite Palace only having 1 shot on target. Glasner will have them creating chances especially with Wharton, Doucoure, Munoz & Kamada If you can find an extra 1m, Gordon. He's more explosive than Eze and Newcastle have the fixtures. There's a lot of goals in that Newcastle team
As a Chelsea fan, he will be pivotal. He's had a full pre-season and will likely start with Palmer, Madueke and Jackson. He may even play up front as a 9 until Jackson is back fully fit. He also had 3 goals in only 2 starts last season, and we know what he did in the Budesliga. He has the potential to be a 9mil+ asset. At 6.5 he is a steal.
I’m probably on an island here, but I don’t love the premium midfielders outside of Salah for game week 1. All the 9.5-10.5’s have concerns over mins due to Euros and/or poor fixtures. Don’t like the two 8.5’s either. That combined with Salah’s fixtures gets him into my team
I’m with you apart from Son who I think is a very good premium midfielder. But now Solanke is coming in, I see myself going for him at some point instead to get a spurs attacker
@@CTOTHERyeah I had Son originally until Solanke signed, unless we hear that Son is on pens. I’ll likely get Solanke in after GW4 as opening fixtures aren’t great and Wood/Muniz/Pedro all have softer draws
@@marcuscameron5572 yeah I get you the fixtures aren’t great and it’s worth waiting to see how Solanke performs. Agreed, I’m struggling to decide between those attackers… will probs start with Wood and get ESR in as Fulham attacker
Saka is safe,Arteta would play him even with one leg And they dont have other options at RW anyway,no chance Jesus starts instead If he goes to the bench at 60-70 minutes not really a problem,silly to avoid him for that reason I agree about fixtures only for Gabriel and Saliba,in attack i dont think it really matters,should score in every game
Zinchenko has looked really good in the preseason, califiori not ready yet, timber and Tomi are injured. Save 1m as well. A good punt for early wild carders?
Andy the GOAT, this video has definitely helped me shape my opinion on GW1 and the next few fixtures. I’ve compromised by going Quansah and upgrade garnacho to Jota but all of your content has really helped my decision making. I hope you do sick this year!
I was at the Brighton Villarreal game the other day and Barco was on alot of the free kicks in wide positions, put in a good amount of dangerous crosses in too! He pushes so high up the overlap with Mitoma on that left wing as always on and a major threat. Needs to improve quite a bit defensively though imo. Quite a few times he got caught out with through balls in behind because the line we were holding was so high. Barco also put in a couple of heavy tackles in that game (like Simeone esc), so don't be surprised if he grabs few yellows along the way either. Regardless a no brainer pick for me Great video as always Andy 👊
@@Rxckzytxrr08 Minteh looks phenomenal from what ive seen this pre season honestly Newcastle have lost a gem there and will be gutted! Cozier-Duberry im not completely sure on his game time tbh, we have so many wingers and we’re supposed to be signing Gruda too (i think hes a winger) so it’ll be limited i think. Maybe some sub appearances, defo not a starter imo
After twisting my roster back and forth like a Rubiks cube I went back to where I started. Elite players (Selah, Watkins, Saka, Trent Alexander-Arnold), some solid performers (Pickford, Eze, Isak), a couple of reliable defenders (Robinson, Mykolenko), lower cost players who might break through (Joao Pedro, Rogers, Quansah, Barco) and Pickford's backup (Virginia). What caused me issues was what to do about Haaling (I decided not to have tunnel vision about his WK2 game and focus on what I would have to give up to have him compared to the difference between him and Salah (or Watkins for that matter since I could afford him by going against Haaling). Then there was the Nkunku and Pedro dilemnas. I had this voice in my head (that sounded remarkably like Andy's) steering me onto Nkunko and off Joao Pedro. I may regret it, but I needed the savings from Joao Pedro and Rogers to underwrite players I wanted more. This should be a roster I can live with until the dust settles and we've seen who some of the emerging players and busts are. It's not exciting, it won't get me in the top ranks, but it should get me off to sustainably good start.
for me I'd much prefer Solanke over Pedro tbh considering the fixtures, I'm actually quite happy with the cheap defender options this season, especially after the point changes for defenders makes me happier with the cheaper options out there, to compensate i've got Raya for arsenal cover
My current draft⬇️ Hendersson Gvardiol Hall Barco Gordon Gibbs-White Eze Salah Jao.P Haaland Isak Subs: Valdimarsson,Vestergaard,Robinson,ESR Any thoughts/suggestions?
Considering Martinez from UTD is injury free, and UTD lacking in a fit left back, i could see him stafting at LB. At 4.5 and nailed it seems like a solid option. Mazrouai plays on the lef side he'll slot into the cb position. This as a replacement for Robinson
Im so tempted to have Jota. Apart from united, they have such favourable games but theres always a question around jota injury record and rotational risk with nunez
I would suggest swapping the defense: Raya+Andersen instead of Henderson+Gabriel. Saves you 0.5, avoids the benching dilemma on Gabriel, while still retaining the Arsenal-Palace defense.
similiar except im taking a punt on Jota over garnacho, and Konsa and Mykolenko over Porro and Gabriel, 1.5m spare, and likely to change - feels like villa, everton, and fulham all rotate well defensively early on - but perhaps scope to move one up to Arsenal defender with 1.5m in bank.
Besides not wanting to block 3x Palace, the other reason for not getting Matthews is that I think Palace will sign another GK (probably as #2 to Henderson)
Still dont like the Nkunku pick , overhyped. Are you confident with heavy at the back? Atm I am sitting on something similiar but when i tinker a bit I see that if I go with ( Hall,Quansah , Van de Ven , Robinson and even with Munoz ) + two mid enablers ( 5.0 + 5.5 or 5.5 + 5.5) I can easily fit Saka , Salah and Haaland in the draft ? Not much flexibility tho
With you on Nkunku. They have so many players in their squad that command minutes, I doubt he gets a full 90 very often and I need to be convinced he can do it on this stage

Looks strong overall. Garnacho the stand out weakness here for me. Perhaps a 4.5 DEF + Jota/Gordon beats Porro + Garnacho, especially given your concerns on Porro?
Yes, and the 4.5 could be Andersen. Then you have the same Arsenal + Palace coverage but Gvardiol instead of Porro. Or if you don't like Gvardiol then it could be an Arsenal double up Another option could be TAA/Porro -> VVD/Gvardiol + 0.5m to spend elsewhere I'm personally going all out with Raya/VVD/Saliba/Gvardiol and risking Salah over Haaland
Swapped out saka for fernandes, allowed me to stick Isak and solanke up top, still have Gordon in that midfield, with Trent, Gabriel and Porro at the back
I have a very similar squad, but you have 1.5mil spare on your bench. With players like Barco & Winks, i feel fine going for cheap fodder. The extra cash has let me have Solanke over Pedro and Jota/Gordon over Garnacho. Gabriel to Lewis Hall is my other change to your squad. Think he will become Trippier-esque for 4.5mil this season and people are sleeping on him.
Stuck on these 2 drafts. A would be to punt on Bobb for first 2 GW’s then drop Son to foden around GW 3 or 4. B team plan is have Haaland around 3/4 weeks and then wildcard around then, thoughts? A Raya (Virginia) Trent Quansah Andersen (Barco Robinson) Eze Son Bobb Saka Salah Isak Solanke (Joao Pedro) Or B Raya (Virginia) Trent Quansah Andersen (Barco Robinson) Gordon Eze Jota Odegaard(Bergvall) Isak Solanke Haaland
Really just depends if you want Haaland or not. I’d say he’s more crucial than Salah, but then again Pool’s fixtures are insane to start. I’d also say for draft B, Bruno in for Odegaard. Bruno’s influence on United is so obvious that i think if United improve on last year (they should as long as they stay healthy, their window was solid), Bruno should be in for a much bigger year
For me, there seems to be a lot of focus (not just by Andy here but also other FPL content creators in general) on picking a squad which is good for the first 5-6 weeks without considering making transfers - e.g., picking Saka over Son even if you think Son will score more points in the first 2 weeks. I know we can roll more transfers this season compared to last, and yes ideally you'd pick the perfect squad so you never have to make transfers, but I wonder whether trying to look too long term to save transfers might mean you miss out on points from shorter term players who can be brought in and out. Looking forward to the season!
because intentionally planning to book transfers in (outside of a wildcard) never goes to plan. Players can get injured/suspended, a defender playing as a winger could suddenly emerge, and the teams we expected to be good could be terrible.
Looks solid 👊🏼 Personally I think you’re underestimating the value of Barco in the first 4-5 weeks - to me he’s a fourth defender rather than a fifth and, with Robinson’s good fixtures as well, Barco will struggle to get in your team. Also having a 5.5 on the bench feels like quite a lot of value (even though it’s a rotation)… £5m mid and a small defensive downgrade could unlock Gordon or Solanke, for example 😊
Is Gordon no longer "essential"? I would have thought he would be one of the best midfield picks at the start of the season with Newcastles fixtures + his price. Are people scared he is gonna leave for Liverpool still or am I rating him too highly
I'd be very surprised if he gets a move to Liverpool. Not going to happen in this window I think. I think the cooling of interest in Gordon is more to do with the 7.5 price tag when people try to get TAA, Salah, Isak and Haaland in their teams. Hence Nkunku's popularity who is essentially an unknown at this stage. (in terms of fitness and the other 200 players in the shambolic Ch£ls£a money squad) Maybe if they stopped throwing money at the squad some of them could actually get a chance to play together for once. Chelsea are like the worst movie sequel ever. Trying to be City "Fix it with money" Part II.
How convinced are we in premium defenders? I see everyone has them, but they were such a let down last season! What’s changed? Im on 5 * £4.5m, and I guess time will tell!
I've got a feeling that a lot of people are spending way too much on defenders. Look at the scores from last year, Porro was 4th highest scorer on 136, which is not a great return vs the 4.5s. And early season normally isn't a great time for any teams for clean sheets. 🤷♂️ I think ill stack the money into the attack at least until WC time and hope that extra cash pays off.
Hello,,,,,,i want to ask about if i play bansh boste in the firest gameweak ,,,,and waild card in the secand gameweak what is the player you think it worth for a 1 game weak ,,,,,
@@FrankyWorldPeace I’d say Gordon would score more points, but paqueta at 1.5mil cheaper is almost better value and could have massive upside as he has very low ownership
@@whitelightning2100 personally I still think west ham will score goals during that period (bar maybe against city) and paqueta should be picking up points playing in an advanced role
I’d move off of Saliba for a 4.5 (Andersen, Konsa, burn or Hall) then replace Henderson with Raya, then upgrade Dendoncker to a 5.0 like Rogers or maybe Amad. If you want to balance the mid even more I’d even say downgrade Eze to a 6.5 like Bailey or Gibbs-White and then upgrade that 5.0 midfielder to a 5.5 like Andreas, CHO or ESR
How do prices change based on initial ownership? So we know that price fluctuate based on how many people transfer in and out a certain player, but how does the starting ownership affect it? Are these considered as transfers or the baseline for the changes to then work from? For example, Isak is 56% owned. Will this lead to a massive increase in price on day 1 or will it only go up if it increases from 56%?
i have a similar team buy have quansah in for gabriel since quansah is nailed at least for the first few games and if he plays well will keep his place and i have gordon and jota instead of joao pedro and garnacho who imo will score higher then your picks....... idk how i feel about that draft seems too risky taking 2 players in ur starting 11 that have barely had a preseaon seems like heavy receny bias from the weekend fixtures
How come nobody seems to be picking up foden? Feels like he’s proven year on year that he can perform as well as just about anyone. Is the minutes risk really all that?
Great video, i disagree with a lot of it, but then again, i tend to end out at the end of the season sitting around the 1million mark , my current team is hoping for spurs to start good which when i read as i type is not something which traditionally happens, thankfully i have 4 spurs lads in my team, kulu, porro, son and solanke (got solanke in before he was changed in fpl so for this gameweek im not making any other changes, also in my squad are gvardiol, KDB, foden, i have isak as captain but also have scharr. Might be better to set it out Henderson Porro, gvardiol, saliba, scharr (bench mitchell) KDB, son, kulu (bench foden and smith rowe) Solanke, wood and isak(c) Im looking at leaving it run for first 2 gameweeks, to allow 4 spurs players against leicester and everton and then make changes, my hope is that spurs get enough points in those gameweeks to cover , its a bit of a gamble but might work, i have 3 man city for the 2nd gameweek against ipswich, i agree with your logic that jota is likely to get points when on the pitch
I think I am going with Salah over Haaland. I kept looking at Haaland because of GW 2, but in the end Salah has much better fixtures overall. It also gives me 2.5m to boost elsewhere.
Re Solanke, Bournemouth only got 2 penalties last season so he scored 17 goals in open play for a lesser attacking side than Spurs. He could be huge this season in my opinion even without pens but time will tell. Still, we have so many good forward options this season and you can't have them all.
does that AI transfer suggestion on hub ever NOT make 3 suggestions? Not seen one yet where it just says swap player A with B? I'd rather have Pedro than Muniz, hell I have Solanke and I'm still having doubts about not just going with Pedro (with Haaland and Isak).

Yes, and the 4.5 could be Andersen. Then you have the same Arsenal + Palace coverage but Gvardiol instead of Porro. Or if you don't like Gvardiol then it could be an Arsenal double up
Another option could be TAA/Porro -> VVD/Gvardiol + 0.5m to spend elsewhere
I'm personally going all out with Raya/VVD/Saliba/Gvardiol and risking Salah over Haaland
Swapped out saka for fernandes, allowed me to stick Isak and solanke up top, still have Gordon in that midfield, with Trent, Gabriel and Porro at the back
I have a very similar squad, but you have 1.5mil spare on your bench. With players like Barco & Winks, i feel fine going for cheap fodder.
The extra cash has let me have Solanke over Pedro and Jota/Gordon over Garnacho.
Gabriel to Lewis Hall is my other change to your squad. Think he will become Trippier-esque for 4.5mil this season and people are sleeping on him.
andy always got the odds pick, last year with united double and now with garnacho and gabriel
Stuck on these 2 drafts.
A would be to punt on Bobb for first 2 GW’s then drop Son to foden around GW 3 or 4.
B team plan is have Haaland around 3/4 weeks and then wildcard around then, thoughts?
A
Raya (Virginia)
Trent Quansah Andersen (Barco Robinson)
Eze Son Bobb Saka Salah
Isak Solanke (Joao Pedro)
Or B
Raya (Virginia)
Trent Quansah Andersen (Barco Robinson)
Gordon Eze Jota Odegaard(Bergvall)
Isak Solanke Haaland
Really just depends if you want Haaland or not. I’d say he’s more crucial than Salah, but then again Pool’s fixtures are insane to start. I’d also say for draft B, Bruno in for Odegaard. Bruno’s influence on United is so obvious that i think if United improve on last year (they should as long as they stay healthy, their window was solid), Bruno should be in for a much bigger year
I'm not lying. This month I've seen at least 100 drafts
It's all about creating content. It's the RUclips hustle after all.
What's your thoughts of having a back three of Lewis hall, dalot and myklenko from Everton?
For me, there seems to be a lot of focus (not just by Andy here but also other FPL content creators in general) on picking a squad which is good for the first 5-6 weeks without considering making transfers - e.g., picking Saka over Son even if you think Son will score more points in the first 2 weeks.
I know we can roll more transfers this season compared to last, and yes ideally you'd pick the perfect squad so you never have to make transfers, but I wonder whether trying to look too long term to save transfers might mean you miss out on points from shorter term players who can be brought in and out.
Looking forward to the season!
because intentionally planning to book transfers in (outside of a wildcard) never goes to plan. Players can get injured/suspended, a defender playing as a winger could suddenly emerge, and the teams we expected to be good could be terrible.
Looks solid 👊🏼 Personally I think you’re underestimating the value of Barco in the first 4-5 weeks - to me he’s a fourth defender rather than a fifth and, with Robinson’s good fixtures as well, Barco will struggle to get in your team. Also having a 5.5 on the bench feels like quite a lot of value (even though it’s a rotation)… £5m mid and a small defensive downgrade could unlock Gordon or Solanke, for example 😊
If I was sure about Barco's minutes he'd be a 4th defender but don't want to risk it.
I have a problem, Bobb and Robinson or Smith Rowe and Harwood Bellis, which are the best combination?
Very strong in defence. .. more points to be had in midfield and up front?
Honestly im sticking with Pickford, did great last season and great in the Euros
Whats better Isak and Kulusevski or Gordon and Solanke?
Very nice looking team.
Is Gordon no longer "essential"? I would have thought he would be one of the best midfield picks at the start of the season with Newcastles fixtures + his price.
Are people scared he is gonna leave for Liverpool still or am I rating him too highly
I'd be very surprised if he gets a move to Liverpool. Not going to happen in this window I think. I think the cooling of interest in Gordon is more to do with the 7.5 price tag when people try to get TAA, Salah, Isak and Haaland in their teams.
Hence Nkunku's popularity who is essentially an unknown at this stage. (in terms of fitness and the other 200 players in the shambolic Ch£ls£a money squad) Maybe if they stopped throwing money at the squad some of them could actually get a chance to play together for once.
Chelsea are like the worst movie sequel ever. Trying to be City "Fix it with money" Part II.
Afternoon, cup of tea, andy team selection. Prime life.
Keen to see what ur final draft looks like...
Interesting, very very similar thoughts, I have Jota and 4.5 defender instead of Garnacho and Porro but otherwise identical bar sub keeper.
Is Ollie Watkins being overlooked?? Top run of fixtures from game week 3! Absolute bags man - could easily outscore everyone else
Any reason to change my backline of raya. Trent. Gabriel. Mitchell. Quansah and barco? I think its nice but im ok with having gvardiol for gabriel.
Should I have flekken and Henderson rotating or Pickford and a £4.0m keeper?
How convinced are we in premium defenders? I see everyone has them, but they were such a let down last season! What’s changed? Im on 5 * £4.5m, and I guess time will tell!
No mention of gibbs white I feel like he’s a very good pick with penalties and good fixtures
He was in everyone's team but they took him out for nkunku or bailey
Nice bait team, waiting for the next selection vid tomorrow 😁
Currently picking between combinations for my 2nd Liverpool player, I already have Jota so should I go Trent and Saka or 4.5 def and Salah?
What about Rodrigo or Bernardo over Nkunku??
Their starts/pts per game are up there …
I've got a feeling that a lot of people are spending way too much on defenders. Look at the scores from last year, Porro was 4th highest scorer on 136, which is not a great return vs the 4.5s. And early season normally isn't a great time for any teams for clean sheets. 🤷♂️
I think ill stack the money into the attack at least until WC time and hope that extra cash pays off.
Hello,,,,,,i want to ask about if i play bansh boste in the firest gameweak ,,,,and waild card in the secand gameweak what is the player you think it worth for a 1 game weak ,,,,,
Walker back will make Gvardiol attacking. Porro will rarely keep clean sheets
Gusto, Smith Rowe and Gordon or
Mykolenko, Eze and Nkunku
Thinking of just going with 4.5 defenders instead of the expensive ones because of the new BPS change
Thoughts on Paqueta as a differential? Think he could be great value at 6mil in an attacking west ham team. Been great in pre-season too.
Who do you think will score more points -- Gordon or Paqueta?
@@FrankyWorldPeace I’d say Gordon would score more points, but paqueta at 1.5mil cheaper is almost better value and could have massive upside as he has very low ownership
I have been looking at Paqueta but West Ham’s first few weeks of fixtures are rlly tough, puts me off him a but
@@whitelightning2100 personally I still think west ham will score goals during that period (bar maybe against city) and paqueta should be picking up points playing in an advanced role
cheers mate love the video!!
Not sure about my team, please recommend any changes:
GK: Henderson, bench:Fabianski
DEF: TAA, Pedro Porro, Mykolenko, Saliba bench:Quansah
MID:Salah, Eze, Nkunku bench: dendocker, nwaneri
ATT: Joao Pedro, Isak, Haaland
I’d move off of Saliba for a 4.5 (Andersen, Konsa, burn or Hall) then replace Henderson with Raya, then upgrade Dendoncker to a 5.0 like Rogers or maybe Amad. If you want to balance the mid even more I’d even say downgrade Eze to a 6.5 like Bailey or Gibbs-White and then upgrade that 5.0 midfielder to a 5.5 like Andreas, CHO or ESR
Cover ARS with Raya, instead of Gabriel. Save .5. Plenty of defenders to choose
How do prices change based on initial ownership?
So we know that price fluctuate based on how many people transfer in and out a certain player, but how does the starting ownership affect it? Are these considered as transfers or the baseline for the changes to then work from?
For example, Isak is 56% owned. Will this lead to a massive increase in price on day 1 or will it only go up if it increases from 56%?
What do you think about de bruyne??I think he is a diffrential pick..
Andy, I suggest that you don't show your team on the GW1 deadline stream, to avoid people just copying it like-for-like
Yes, i do
he never shows his real team. We will see the final version after the deadline anyway.
Amad Diallo I think will be great, he should be starting most games at 5 mil.
What do you think about doubling up on Liverpool defence to attack the early fixtures?
havertz/son or saka/solanke ? first 3 gameweeks
Hello my name is Andy....Best intro
Support from 🇺🇬
i have a similar team buy have quansah in for gabriel since quansah is nailed at least for the first few games and if he plays well will keep his place and i have gordon and jota instead of joao pedro and garnacho who imo will score higher then your picks....... idk how i feel about that draft seems too risky taking 2 players in ur starting 11 that have barely had a preseaon seems like heavy receny bias from the weekend fixtures
Do tou think it's worth keeping some money in the bank for gw1?
I love the content but the audio keeps cutting in and out is this an issue anyone else has ?
Too much invested in defence for my taste. Might work though, good luck!
The team is really strong, I’m thinking of something like that.
Why is no one looking at quansah or hall, I see them nailed despite konate burn concerns
Trossard is a snip at 7, finished the season really strong
Huge rotation risk not worth the hassle
Oscar Bobb and Fabio Carvalho at 5.0m could be great differentials
Andy, are you forgetting Newcastle players, they are scoring and defending well pre season?
*How would you rate this team?*
GK: Flekken
DEF: Gvardiol, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mykolenko
MID: Odegaard, Eze, Gordon, Salah, Saka
ATT: Isak, Solanke
Better off with bruno than odegard
This is a great video, Andy. Interesting draft.
Thinking long term, who are the best two 5.5 midfielders? Say for GW1 through the end of the year.
Nice team Andy, love the balance
Gibbs-White vs Garnacho, let's hear your opinion please
How come nobody seems to be picking up foden? Feels like he’s proven year on year that he can perform as well as just about anyone. Is the minutes risk really all that?
If you had to pick 1 nott forrest defender who would you pick, murillo for starts / minutes or Williams or aina for attacking returns?
Neco
Hi Andy, what ranking did you achieve last season? Love the vids!
All previous ranks are in the description 😄
Spurs defenders outside Porro? Please talk about Udogie, Romero and Van de Veen.
I think Elanga is the best 5.5m mid, his xG are highest (out of HO and GW) and his attempts are in the box
If he was nailed he'd probably be in for the start as I like him but minutes just aren't there for me to bother risking it.
@@LetsTalkFPL ah feck I thought for sure he'd be playing. CHO is nailed? I want in on forest opening 8/10 games are all green
Really good team for sure but starting off without Salah might be an irreversible mistake down the road. Much easier to sell him than bring him in
Great video, i disagree with a lot of it, but then again, i tend to end out at the end of the season sitting around the 1million mark , my current team is hoping for spurs to start good which when i read as i type is not something which traditionally happens, thankfully i have 4 spurs lads in my team, kulu, porro, son and solanke (got solanke in before he was changed in fpl so for this gameweek im not making any other changes, also in my squad are gvardiol, KDB, foden, i have isak as captain but also have scharr.
Might be better to set it out
Henderson
Porro, gvardiol, saliba, scharr (bench mitchell)
KDB, son, kulu (bench foden and smith rowe)
Solanke, wood and isak(c)
Im looking at leaving it run for first 2 gameweeks, to allow 4 spurs players against leicester and everton and then make changes, my hope is that spurs get enough points in those gameweeks to cover , its a bit of a gamble but might work, i have 3 man city for the 2nd gameweek against ipswich, i agree with your logic that jota is likely to get points when on the pitch
I think I am going with Salah over Haaland. I kept looking at Haaland because of GW 2, but in the end Salah has much better fixtures overall. It also gives me 2.5m to boost elsewhere.
Re Solanke, Bournemouth only got 2 penalties last season so he scored 17 goals in open play for a lesser attacking side than Spurs. He could be huge this season in my opinion even without pens but time will tell. Still, we have so many good forward options this season and you can't have them all.
So many good forward options?🤔
I see only 4
3 of them are expensive but still
Except for Haaland Isak Watkins and Solanke do you see a safe option?
Muniz/Wood and Rogers or Joao Pedro and Smith Rowe?
does that AI transfer suggestion on hub ever NOT make 3 suggestions? Not seen one yet where it just says swap player A with B? I'd rather have Pedro than Muniz, hell I have Solanke and I'm still having doubts about not just going with Pedro (with Haaland and Isak).
