If Cucurella moves to City it creates a huge headache and I’m not comfortable spending 7.0 on Cancelo not knowing he is going to start. I might make the move to Robertson or downgrade to Laporte and bring in Ederson to cover City’s defense.
It's been terrible every year and this year is no different, there's no reason to think it will be. In all honesty it's not complicated, premiums are priced at inflated prices as their capitainable. If they're not captain - they're not as valuable. Stats clearly show that every single year (eg PPM).
My point is literally that it's about points, which is why three premiums isn't a good idea. You're basically just hoping for an FPL anomaly by going down that route.
Getting the two best premiums and rotating captaincy is the FPL meta.
Yeah, not having 3 Liverpool especially is a big downside. I think that can be possibly done with TAA, Salah and Diaz. So it depends if you want City defense or Spurs premium attackers. That's what it basically comes down to, are you gonna go through those Spurs fixtures without them (first 4 look great to me) and Kane and Son are already doing the same things this season. There are some pretty decent 3-mium drafts that cover other positions well. You won't get big at the back with chelsea wingbacks etc but that's the tradeoff.
But yeah to your question, I think there is a lot of potential upside in getting on those Spurs players with Soton, Wolves, Forest etc. And the thing about going Kane/Son is you know exactly what you are gonna get from them, they are involved in such a massive amount of goals for Spurs and have no xMins issues. I mean, Kane since Conte has taken over is literally blowing the league out of the water (including Salah etc) when it comes to any relevant underlying stat, and despite Son doing the business he racked up 6.7 PPM during Conte's time which is mental. Do I think I can give up Reece James etc for getting him instead of say Jesus/Diaz? Probably yeah.
Damn.....feck. you convinced me. I thought my team is locked and now between Jesus, Martial, Mahrez and Foden i must pick two. Dropping Haaland then.
Damn youuuuuuuu
£8m. Personally think there are better options for there or thereabouts… Jesus, Antonio, Watkins (last two cheaper)?
Crazy going without Haaland. Esp for that Forest at home game. Nuts. All the pseudo-science analytics in here. I've got both him and Kane in right now.
After many attempts i am settling with this for GW1. Not a massive fan of 2 newcastle players so depending how they start against Forest i guess i may have some early decisions to make.
Raya
James, Persic, TAA, Trippier
Salah (c), Sancho, Maddison, Bruno G
Kane, Jesus
Raya
James, Persic, TAA, Trippier
Salah (c), Sancho, Maddison, Bruno G
Kane, Jesus
OK, first draft. First time I'm going without Salah for years, but then its the first time Liverpool's front 3 has changed in years so there's no guarantee it will perform in the same way.
Alisson
Begovic
TAA
James
Cancelo
Dalot
Cucurella
Sancho
Coutino
Ward Prowse
Andreas
Diallo
Darwin
Kane
Jesus
2.0 left in the bank
Alisson
Begovic
TAA
James
Cancelo
Dalot
Cucurella
Sancho
Coutino
Ward Prowse
Andreas
Diallo
Darwin
Kane
Jesus

Daaamn. For Raya, Haaland and Murphy i get Martial, Alisson and Mahrez.
feck Haaland. He will flop anyway.

I have, and at any price, you can get any player with the wildcard. Considering that we effectively have three wildcards this time, the early wildcard will be popular, and I'm picking the players i feel will give me the most points in the first few gameweeks. For what it's worth, I will likely have Kane or Haaland in my team simply because I think they are good picks.
I feel it is unnecessary to see player prices and making transfers easier as a deal breaker when more players to have will only show themselves after the first GW, and there is only one transfer per GW which is usually no where near enough early in the season.
If an expensive player bangs and many rush to get them, but they are not affordable because the money was spread, there will still be an affordable player that also banged that many will be rushing to get too. There is only one available free transfer for everyone after all, and the wildcard is there.
Why have 2.0 sitting in the bank? At most you have is 0.5 going into GW1. Use it to upgrade your midfield. It’s weak at the moment. Also you don’t have Salah cause you don’t know how their attack will perform and yet you’re willing to pay 9.0 for a Liverpool attacker who has never played a minute of premier league football?
What do folks mean by having 3 potential wildcards this season?
Locked in and commited:
Allison
Laporte - Robertson - Perisic - Zinchenko
Salah - Odegaard - Guimaraes - Sancho
Kane (C) - Vardy
Subs: Forster, Pereira, N. Williams, Taylor
Not touching it now until an hour before deadline, when the last-minute panic ensues!!!

2 regular wc plus one during world cup break
Anyone set up a league yet?
4.0 difference between Darwin and and Salah so if that doesn't work I have the 2.0 at my disposal to upgrade. I've always found it useful to have a little in the bank in the early game weeks
no point in having £2m in the bank, especially with two wild cards and a WC freebie.
midfield looks weak? add it there?
The extra World Cup one. You can almost split the season into four… what you start with, a WC around GW 7/8, then the World Cup chip mid season, then second WC with maybe 5-10 weeks left.
In other seasons, your WC chip was for aug-Dec so your initial choices had to be more medium term. With the world cup bonus chip, you can look more short term and be a bit more adventurous
Starting someone cheap who is going to only get you 1 or 2 points a week if they play at all to fit a premium that you aren’t going to captain just doesn’t make sense over a season.
Cheers boys
Perisic is key to all my drafts. If he starts I want him badly. If not I am happy to even downgrade him to Neco and use the money to get Martial, Rashford, Sancho.
Also is Mendy worth 5.5 and thus undervalued? Although high chance he gets Covid and you are left with one keeper if you just pick him.

The code is titlli. But if you were init last season should have been automatically been added to this season's
I will start on my squad one week before the deadline
This is the logical thing to do. I've spent way too much time pissing about with my team already.I will start on my squad one week before the deadline
It doesn’t look as good as some midfields in the eye test, but when you consider that Rashford on form had the potential to be a 9 million player, and that Martinelli is predicted to give the highest returns for Arsenal in the first 5 games (and is severely underpriced at 6 million), I think it could be a masterstroke for whoever tries it.
If they bang, who are going to be the players that fly up in value early doors?
It will be the likes of Rashford and Martinelli that everyone can fit in.
This teams value could be massive by the break.
I got rid of Perisic, he's not played a minute in pre season , in fact he hasn't even been involved in training. Still recovering from his injury in May and won't start training til Spurs get back to London. Rumored to get a bit of a run in against Rangers on Saturday, but will he start the first couple of games?
Will Sessengon play instead? He is just 4.5 and could be a gem.
I do want someone from Spurs.
You can never have everything, but it could be outweighed by the choices in budget picks. Rashford and Martinelli will fly up in price is they hit anywhere near what they are capable of.
You could easily get in a City defender, and if Cucurella moves and you get him in at 5 mil along with Trippier, you could be laughing.
I, personally, wouldn’t change the midfield if I were to play this, because Martinelli/Rashford, on form, could point as well as any most of the 8 mil, and will jump up in price if they start well.
Cheers, I’ll have a look. Think I might have been.
Keep an eye on Spurs last two preseason games, this Saturday against Rangers and the following Saturday against Roma. A number of people expect Djed Spence to start over Doherty as right wingback and he costs 4.5.
Daaamn. For Raya, Haaland and Murphy i get Martial, Alisson and Mahrez.
feck Haaland. He will flop anyway.
I was only 99% sure on Haaland.. now its a definite guarantee he'll smash it.
Pedro Neto 5.5 what a bargain.
I will for sure. Just there is risk with rotation in those positions for sure.
I guess if Spurs want to change things around it is the wingbacks that are subbed first or central midfield.
I think Perisic is most nailed if fit I think, but at his age you never know.
My replacement for Perisic is likely Gabriel. Very solid and nailed pick that fits my squad very well and Arsenal got really nice fixtures.
Then last pick is either Neco or Dalot or Spurs def. Thinking Dalot should be worth the extra 0.5. If we still suck then I guess I can sell him before Liverpool game.

Every single time last year when i had 50:50 choice, i chose badly.
This year, new story. I mean.....i can't have bad luck two years in a row
Yeah, i call it bad luck
When he bangs 2 against Leeds... I'll be quoting all these posts from you. I've been saving them.Pedro Neto 5.5 what a bargain.
Give me a nice red flag 20 minutes into GW1 with no return date...
The other year a guy In our league had Neto and I thought what a crap pick.
But he seemed to get decent points regularly.
I'd be more worried to have him but not be able to get him off the bench each week
(Disclaimer : other supermarkets are available)Pedro Neto 5.5 what a bargain.
