So a minimum of 26% of the Top 10 have both Salah & Haaland? It's a real struggle for me to do this and have a balanced team; ended up dropping Haaland - which I hate. Would you mind picking a few and reviewing? Thanks!
After watching the highlights most of the goals were due to the opponants being so sloppy defensivly, i think Chris Wood would have got a hatrick from that Chelsea side
I expect that many are taking Son for GW1-2 and then seeing how Saka/Palmer/Foden are getting on, given the uncertainty around them. It's certainly something I'm considering.
Watch Haaland shoot up to 56% after his Hatty Vs Chelsea last night. So frustrating! Why play Chelsea? Everyone was going to captain Salah up until last night 😤
It is annoying. I was going to play him anyway and it does seem weird to play Chelsea. Still trying to shoehorn Salah and haaland in but it's a tough one
yeah, but he may be used for build up play more than finishing off chances. Remember, teams park the bus against City. So only wingers, fullbacks and Strikers will guarantee you points. Creative players like Bernado or Odegaard do stand out in such systems. But only because of individual talent.
Smith Rowe to Fulham saved me, because if I went for Muniz, but had 5.0m left, and there's no good 5.0m midfielders. So now I'll go with Smith-Rowe and Jao Pedro.
As a Forest fan if we sign another full back I’m 95% sure it won’t be a Lb .. we already have aina who can play either side toffolo and Omar Richards. No need for more Lb cover it will be a RB that comes in due to not having any depth on the right side
I changed to a haaland draft.. because of last night, looked great again. Currently have trent in team but i think ill have to move off him to make a more blanced defense.
Two players I’m really coming round to with a WC4 strategy, is Mbuemo and DCL instead of Eze and another 5.5-6m fwd option (in a Salah and Haaland team). Both Mbuemo and DCL have two good home fixtures in those first three.
The reason not to go for Isak, is by just going for Gordon who is cheaper and doesn't take up a striker slot, if that should be relevant. I'm going for Isak, as it goes, but I also don't have Haaland.
I've managed to get a 99% rating on fpl hub without Haaland. Hard to go against that. If you spend 9m on keepers, then that leaves 91m for 13 spots which gives an average of 7 per position. At 15m Haaland means you need to go below average for three players to balance. Could work of course. Lots of 6.5 mids that are decent.
First: Love all your content Andy, great to back on here for the build up to season start! All the Haaland hat trick hype on X today is astounding! As if it was a surprise that he scored 3 goals and now MUST be in your team? Both City and Chelsea had no where near a normal starting 11, it was a pre-season friendly, and most importantly... the no Haaland draft never doubted he could and would score 3 goals in some games and may likely end up top scorer for the season. But NOT having him allows ALL the other 5 (200+ point) top midfield options plus decent options elsewhere, which combined "should" return more points and give complete safety from pep roulette and injury to all your 'eggs in one Haaland basket' (who before last night was clearly questionable in terms of fitness). Haaland scored 3 goals, he does that sometimes. Nothing has changed, yet everyone is going nuts on X? One player can have an off game, get injured, not start.. I'd rather have the other top 5 point scorers stacked in my team. Walker, Foden, KDB, possibly Haaland all questionable whether they start GW1 (Alvarez being sold off?), yes Chelsea have more money than potential and suck, but this notion that Haaland is essential because he got 3 goals vs Chelsea in a pre-season is nuts. Yes he's the best FPL option, but then you end up with the likes of Nkunku (injury prone like James so far), Gibbs-White , Rogers e.t.c and a few other lucky punts to stay in budget.
I think szobo is the key this season for those who will go with haaland...it's a risk but if he takes the number 10 role then that would be a some what of relief to go without salah
Turner high ownership is easy to explain, people are looking for 4.0m goalie and he's the one with the highest score last season, simple as that. As you noticed Andy not many engaged managers are picking him and casuals not doing much research, nothing surprising here. Is Fabianski really a backup for Areola? WHU bought Foderingham from Sheffield Utd and he was decent shotstopper over there, Fabianski is like 40, not sure about him being second choice. Also I find it funny there's mad scramble everytime Haaland scores goals. We have Haaland-less teams for a reason. Nobody denies he's decent goalscorer but team overall is more balanced and "better" (well...as a team).
Probably fine short term - like 1-2 Gameweeks, after that it's anyone's guess. My assumption would be he doesn't play regularly, but with certain injuries he might get good minutes.
Which team is better? Raya (Valdimarrson) Trent, Gvardiol, Mykolenko (Barco), (Harwood-Bells) Rogers, Eze, Salah, Smith Rowe, Nkunku Isak, Haaland, 4.5 FWD 0.5 ITB OR Same defence Son, Nkunku, Salah, Gordon, Eze Isak, Havertz, 4.5 FWD 0.5 ITB In both teams I’d plan to bring in Watkins for my 2nd forward in GW3. Midfield from 2nd team is so tempting but I’d def have to bring in Foden (or any nailed city attacker) in GW2, meaning if there are price changes I won’t be able to afford Havertz -> Watkins in GW3. As much as it pains me to not have players like Son and Gordon to start with, I think it’s slightly better to have haaland. Any advice?
Probably Eze and Trent but you'd just have to make sure Trent starts the season with him coming into training late, honestly think Eze and Porro is a pretty solid combo is you have a use for the saved funds
Pff, I was on no Haaland but he is making me very nervous now. If I choose between Haaland and Salah, Haaland and a 6.5 mid are up against Watkins and Salah. I prefer the last option in that case. If I go Haaland and Salah I have to sacrifice Watkins, Saka (for a 4.5 bench fodder and I have to play Pedro and Andreas every week) and Porro for a 4.5 defender. That is a lot of downgrades. I really don't know the right play here.
Quite a lot of content creators seem to not have included new signings in their thoughts. You are one of the first mentions of kamada but you didn't mention they have signed ismaila sarr as well.
@@freddiebarnes-janes6001 good price point to have, can downgrade to Rodgers if he's nailed, switch to Andreas or we might find some other 5.5m playing mid.
Brereton Diaz has the highest predicted points for a 5.5m mid over the first few gameweeks on fantasy football hub. Finding it tricky nailing someone for that 5.5m spot myself. All going to be a bit riskier at that price point I guess
There’s no worse feeling in FPL than watching Haaland score a hat-trick and not owning him. Just not worth the pain…fortunately it’s only pre-season phew 😮💨
Does anyone else think Nic Jackson is being overlooked slightly? His minutes are very secure and if he starts to finish his chances this season he could be great value for 7.5
As if people did not get burned by the similarly priced Darwin Nunez the season he and Haaland joined the Premier League. If you really want a cheap Chelsea attacker Nkunku is a better shout, and 1.0 cheaper.
@@mattishidayeo why not both? Jackson had .62 xg per 90 which is bonkers. If he learns to finish I can see him having a massive season akin to Watkins finishing development leading to more FPL points
@@findlaylister6921 Chelsea has changed its manager in the off season, which likely means a different style or play, so whether Jackson's position can still get a .62 xg/90 remains to be seen.

I do hear reports that Chelsea are still in the market for a forward like Osimhen, who would definitely start should he join. Of course, Jackson could get three favourable coin flips that you can exploit.

Could Summerville be a good pick if he comes in at 6 and below he will probably start on the left with kudus as a 10
My bench boost is:
GK:Raya,Alisson

MID:Saka,Son,Gordon,Eze,Gibbs-White
FWD:Isak,Wood,Joao Pedro
Are you wildcarding after or just gonna have 12 mil in gks 😅
I'm totally taking a punt on kamada. Glasner had him at his previous club and he's played loads of pre season on the wing. At 5.5 worth a punt
Two players I’m really coming round to with a WC4 strategy, is Mbuemo and DCL instead of Eze and another 5.5-6m fwd option (in a Salah and Haaland team). Both Mbuemo and DCL have two good home fixtures in those first three.

Possibly not, wait and see players
Elliot
Diallo is nailed on for the rw spot for the first 3 games…eth won’t throw Zirkee in at the deep end so rashford through the middle
whatever Summerville comes in at price wise, could be a very good enabler. Think 5.5/6.0 would be fair
