That was because you made me scared about Liverpool all being fitYep
TAA in there now. Best advice was given earlier. Log out and chill. Wish I could take it myself.

Ballsy to ignore Isaak, Watkins, Solanke in coming gameweeksive gone for a 451 and shoehorned in Haaland, Bruno, Salah, Rashy, Gordon and TAA into the team. I dont actually recognise any of the players ive got on my bench.
Couple of changes, I'm not sure whether I need to make a couple more to bring in a Saka type midfielder realistically.Getting twitchy now with the team, particularly as I've got 0.5m in the bank. Currently starting with;
Raya (Henderson)
TAA, Gvardiol, Porro (Barco, Guehi)
Rogers, Garnacho, Joya, Eze (Hudson-Odoi)
Solanke, Haaland, Isak
i justed wanted to leave it, but youve triggered me into swapping gordon out for solanke. at least i can blame you now.Ballsy to ignore Isaak, Watkins, Solanke in coming gameweeks
If held at gunpoint, I'd pick no 2 but Mykolenko to Burn/Murillo or a better 4.5 defenderUgh, sitting at a bog trying to sort this out
v1:
Henderson
Gvardiol, Porro, Quansah
Jota, Saka, Nkunku, Garnacho
Solanke, Haaland, Isak
Subs: Ward, ESR, Mykolenko, Harwood
Or v2:
Henderson
TAA, Porro, Mykolenko
Eze, Saka, Nkunku, Garnacho
Solanke, Haaland, Isak
Subs: Ward, ESR, Faes, Harwood
I'm leaning v2 but no useful bench defenders worries me, especially as Mykolenko has never been a player that can stay fit.
Any last minute advice? @CassiusClaymore @Sandikan @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Maluco @ROFLUTION @anyone
Chelsea won't get bullied again like in preseason. Isak all the way.And now captaincy?
People with Salah, you going with Salah? Or Saka, Isak, Son.....? You Haalanders don't have those issues.
Hm, Salah vs Ipswich? Salah in gw1 is always a haul.Chelsea won't get bullied again like in preseason. Isak all the way.

Don't have Salah but my cousin does and we went through Ipswich's team last night. Mckenna will most likely go with a back five and keep things tight and disciplined, some rando like Gakpo will probably pop up and score to win the game but hopefully not a massacre.Hm, Salah vs Ipswich?

Anyone taking a punt on Newcastle's Murphy, instead of ESR or someone in that range?
Same but Amad or ESR for meAmad or Rogers to start? Need to bench one. Currently have Amad starting but hope he plays from the start.
Rogers OOP!Ollie Watkins is doubtful this weekend so ive just swapped him for Alex Isak
Same but Amad or ESR for me
Me to hard to ignore the pre season he's had. Easy swap out but I'll be transferring him out gw2 or 3Yep I am.
First ever time playing FPL. I know almost nothing about it. If anyone wants to tell me how dumb this team is, I wouldn't mind hearing a few tips.
I’m saying which assets got more than him?He got exactly 17 non penalty goals last season in the PL (not more)
Like I said, he turns 27 next month and just had his first decent season in the PL and there is a massive hype around him.
Let me explain why I think he's overrated and doesn't deserve (all) the hype:
GW12-18 last season he had a purple patch in the PL (an overperformance over a short period that stand massively out from the rest of his career):
7 games (630 minutes), 8 goals (1 pen) 0 assists. 1 non penalty goal per 90 minutes.
He got these returns from 5,90npxG (0,84npxG/90) and 0,48xA (0,07xA/90)
So 7 non penalty goals from 5,90npxG - a slight overperformance of his npxG.
Since then (GW19 -38)
20 games (1728 minutes), 7 goals (1 pen and also missed a pen) and 2 assists.
He got these returns from 8,41 npxG and 2,55 xA (0,13xA/90)
So 6 non penalty goals from 8,41 npxG - in line with his usual underperformance of accumulated npxG.
His whole PL career minus those 7 games in November/December 2023:
127 games (8081 minutes), 21 goals (1 pen scored + 1 pen missed) and 13 assists. 0,22 non penalty goals and 0,14 assists per 90 minutes (total 0,36 goals + assists per 90 minutes)
He got these returns from 33,73 npxG and 11,44 xA
So 20 non penalty goals from 33,73 npxG - A massive underperformance.
Over his PL career he's averaged 0,39 npxG/90 (including his purple patch) and has scored 0,28 npG/90
His CV just shows that he's been a very impotent striker in the PL with the exception of 7 games last season up until now in his career.
Richarlison in back in training, Kulu had a great preseason and they will share minutes. I'm not saying that he will flop, he'll probably tick along just fine, but don't expect him to get these explosive numbers or be a 90 minute man every week.
As long as you keep a close eye on them. Hall's minutes will be at risk esp when Guehi signs. Murphy will also be rotated eventually. At that price point, I'm surprised Brereton Diaz is being overlooked. He will be Southampton's main striker, and I expect him to be this season's Mbeumo. Ownership at 0.8% is a jokeOver the last 2 days, I have gone from only Isak to triple Newcastle of Hall, Murphy and Isak. Madness?
I have gotten rid of Konsa and ESR in the process.
Ugh, sitting at a bog trying to sort this out

I like the team. Nice balance all round. My only concern is that your defense don't really have much attacking potential. But overall a solid team.
Issue is, Spurs run into difficulty fixtures quite quickly and at that point, your relying on attacking returns and then when you consider that bps for defenders have changed, suddenly Porro don't seem that good.Yes, I remember watching Porro one game last season scared as he seemed to take every single set piece and was whiskers away from racking a monumental score up!
I'll rethink
I have done a mad one. I was settled on Diaz , but linked to Barcelona, than I changed to Gordon, but no real pre-season, decided I should probably have someone decent on the bench so dropped to Eze, then linked to City.
I am going for Rashford. Is it completely inconceivable that the player of 12 months ago is gone?

I like them both mate. 1 looks sexier but 2 is probably better long term. I would have a replacement lined up for KDB though once Foden returns.Henderson

50/50 for me… I’d look at the fixtures (if Chelsea can choose the right XI from their 300 man squad, they could be good this season) and see which feel better to you.Henderson

No way Barca can afford Diaz if they cant even get Williams.
I want him in, but refuse to go double United and Bruno just makes much more sense to me
