I spent too much tinkering and now have 3 very different options
Keen to hear the thoughts of the FPL gurus in this thread. I dont want to spend too long on this anymore, its distracting! Just can't decide whether to go very safe or go bullish and trust attackers over defenders essentially.
My punt for this season is general, is that there will be a lot more goals from focal points in attack (Jesus/Haaland/Nunez) and that might be a missed trick if we continue to focus on the big defender hauls. Could be wrong though, I generally suck at FPL but really keen on hearing feedback on the below 3 drafts.
1. Safe as houses? 5 at the back
- 0.5m left in the bank.
- I think this is the safest approach to make a solid start. Big at the back with all the 3 "premium" defenders + Ederson on top.
- Perisic I guess is a risk.
- Covered with a lot of safe picks generally Salah/Jesus/Kane. Not a lot of differentials here?
2. 442
- A similar iteration to the first draft but moving out Robertson + Ederson and bringing in Diaz + Ramsdale.
- Not much more to say about this one I guess. I Think this or the first draft can be very safe, just feels like this is a bit more focused on attack which I like. Although Robertson + Ederson are historically great bankers for points.
3. No Salah? Mental stuff!
- This one is my favourite
as it seems balanced.
- No Chelsea defenders as they look rocky and Tuchel seems to be tinkering 4 at the back, which may stunt the fullbacks.
- I know there's no Salah but tried to cover with Diaz + Nunez. I can drop Nunez for Jesus/Martial and beef up the defence if needed.
- Darwin hauling early and no Salah is a a double punt, but keen to hear thoughts around this general move (i.e. even if I took Darwin out for Jesus and upgraded a midfielder/defender).
- Dalot ready to come on in case Perisic or Walker don't start is decent cover?
- Big question is whether I'd really miss Salah with this set up!
