Fantasy Premier League 20/21

I forgot there was no City or United game, but just managed to changed my the team before the deadline, will probably use my wildcard in the first week. Also went for a 4-4-2, which I don't think I have ever played before

Ramsdale
TAA Doherty Dallas Bellerin
Soucek Salah Pereira Auba
Werner Kane​
 
I had the trickiest time deciding between 451. Did a set and forget for 451 and this morning 15 mins before I just did 442 :lol:

McCarthy

Holding
Robertson
Walker Peters
Justin

Son
Salah
Aubameyang
Saint Maximin

Ings
Werner

^ the other iteration had Havertz instead of Ings for a 451. I hope this is better though. Son out for Bruno perhaps, and it gives me a bit of an option to introduce Martial too.
 
Nailed on Mitrovic benched, would you believe it
 
McCarthy (Nyland)
TAA, Doherty, James, KWP (Mitchell)
Auba (v), Salah (c), Son, ASM (Smallbone)
Werner, Mitrovic (Brewster)

1,5 itb for flexibility. Probably Son -> Rashford or ASM->Greenwood and Auba->KDB before GW3.
 
Settled on :

----------McCarthy
TAA --- James --- Tierney
Traore -- Havertz -- Aubameyang -- Son
Jimenez --- Richarlison --- Ings

I usually lose interest after a few weeks, so I hope the core group can carry me through (will probably swap in Bruno and potentially Foden and Greenwood after the first game week)

Bottled it last minute and swapped James for KWP
 
Come on Holding and Auba - although I didn't captain Auba in the end so don't go too mental please.
 
Off to a cracking start with Saliba not even in the 18 -where is he?! 27m signing! Justin comes in at least.

Pereira for West Brom is my main punt
 
Feckin Arteta. I mean fine, pick Lacazette over Nketiah, I get that, but Elneny over Ceballos?

Wild card it is then fecker.

Ceballos is first-choice, but he’s barely trained with the club this summer. He’ll start next I’m sure.
 
Why the feck didn't I learn from last year.

Made Auba Captain and my two likely rivals have captained Mane and Salah.

Never go with a troll, especially if it's early kick off!

It’s 15 minutes into the game...

And now he has picked up a booking..
 
Mitrovic not starting, PEA getting booked. I quit already.
oh well, didn't take long to remember why i hate this shit

Between Mitrovic not starting for some strange reason, and now PEA getting booked. It hasn't been a great start for me.
 
Anyone else think they’ve changed players position classifications from last season? For example I wanted to put Aubameyang as a forward but he’s classed now as a midfielder.. Fernandinho is now a defender, not a midfielder.. etc there’s a few others they’ve changed too.
 
Willian should get an assist for the goal, right?

They definitely have changed positions of a number of players. Rashford moved from striker to midfielder and Martial moved from midfielder to attacker. Similarly Lundstram moved from defender to midfielder.

What's there to think about? You're bang on

Martial was always my go to because he was a midfielder who played up front. But Auba as a midfielder? Behave.

I did the same too! My god and what makes it worse is I had Salah initially as captain on default and for some reason, I decided to switch it to Auba. Annoyed as hell!
 
Think you're confusing him with Gabriel..

No confusion brother.

I said i'm off to a cracking start (sarcasm) as Saliba, who I have, who is a 27m signing isn't even in the squad! :(

Confirmation below he was a 27m signing.

How's this related to Gabriel - who is starting?
Annoyingly i had Holding as well at one stage, but took him out as Saliba seemed to be the more likely starter!
 
45 mins in and my captain and most expensive player has 0 points. It's going to be a good season :drool:

Ornstein said Holding will start back on Thursday I think. I shared it in this thread too!
