Surprised he's captain. There's a few midfield choices so wasn't sure he was certain pick ... ... though maybe one of them is going to be unavailable soon
Thought maybe White would get it

Thought maybe White would get it
His output is the lowest though among their attacking mids.
Any Wolves fans here? How are Ait Nouri and Johnny doing in preseason? Are they both nailed to start the season?
They have been experimenting with a back 4 at times. That would put me off and nullify their benefit. I would wait to see how they start, although their rotation with Dunk/Lamptey is very nice.
Damn now that’s a team!!!
I love how you fit in sterling there with Salah Kane jesus and your defence!
If I was to compare our teams
Cancelo Mahrez Lloris
or
Ramsdale Perisic Sterling
I think both will score more or less the same over the season
Haha the choice right now is between Johnny and Dunk cause I have TAA - James - Cancelo - White as my other defensive options.
I like big at the back, but if it fails you need hits to fix it or wildcard.
I think 4-4-2 is most flexible. Would you go with better structure over higher expected points short term?

The problem with a back five you really need clean sheet points. Even Robertson, Cancelo and TAA don’t get offensive points every points every week. So assume they concede and they don’t get a goal or assist you will have 10 points from 5 players. Your midfield will be light cause it will only have Salah, maybe one 8.0 and one filler less than 6.0. So basically in those weeks you are down to Salah, Jesus and Kane/Haaland to fire. Like you said 4-4-2 is the right balance I think.
I’ve mostly played 442 past few seasons but over time I’ve noticed that most top players eventually play 5 at the back cuz the top teams will get more clean sheets and if no assists or goals they Atleast secure clean sheet points whereas a midfielder doesn’t always score consistently..
But then again you can always switch around.. I just think this season it’s imperative to first see which mids are on top form and start with 5 at the back cuz you know which defenders are guaranteed starters with good fixtures
It is just when it comes to maybe Diaz vs Robertson then I think Robertson will probably have higher points per match and maybe even per start (Diaz also might come from the bench more).
Diaz more explosive and risky, but having him allow me to sell him for lots of good mids. I have my eyes on Maddison for example.
If Robertson and TAA are awful and Liverpool conceding for fun then it makes -8 or wildcard to fix that while having money in your team as there are no 7 million defenders to replace them with.
I guess for me I can take that risk in a way since if Liverpool would concede 5 goals against us that would be joy to watch haha.
Out of those, I would go Dunk. Reliable, in a better defence and has the occasional goal threat. He is usually 5.0 and worth it in other seasons and is absolutely nailed.
Well obviously the one I've got.
Walker is pretty much no attacking threat.
I was on the same but starting with Mason Mount is the most boring way to ever start an FPL season.
I think my team is done, but what are peoples’ thoughts on this draft, out of interest…
Raya
TAA
Walker
Robertson
Trippier
Perisic
Son
Salah
Sterling
Bailey
Jesus
Is it worth me ripping up long held ideas and considering?
It feels like it’s only real weakness is no Haaland and the bench. Could do Cancelo/Zinchenko instead of Robertson/Walker too.
I dunno, it feels like it could be threemium without the sacrifices?

Based on whether Mahrez starts...
Thought Haaland was pretty shite today and yet apparently he came away with 1.6 xG against the second best defence in the league.
Goes to show how little he'll have to do to get chances in this City side.

I really like this team, with two exceptions. One is that I personally think Sterling is an unnecessary risk with so many good 8M options and Chelsea in some disarray. The other is having twi 4.5 forwards stinking up your bench.
Let me post my own, not too different from Maluco's. Thoughts?
5m keeper (probably Ramsdale)
TAA / Walker / Robbo / Trippier
Salah / Maddison / 8M (likely Mahrez) / Bailey
Jesus / Kane
Subs: 4.0, Andreas, Neco, 4.5 fwd

Can't decide between
Cancelo, Sterling and Kane
or
Trippier, Son and Haaland?

Third is you can’t get to Haaland or Kane in less than 2 moves.
Yeah Kane is in my team with that template and the rest being the same. Save 0.5 and lets you jump on Haaland.
The Sterling over 8m is basically doing Cancelo to Walker and I keep asking the question is Cancelo worth 2m over Walker when both are gonna get the same CS points? Cancelo isn't gonna get attacking returns every game.
6.5m forward who gets minimum 25-30 minutes for Man City with the 5 subs rule coming on when the games are already done...
Damn I’m thinking of going no Chelsea defenders. They look awful in preseason and I read they didn’t look great at the back against Udinese as well. So I’m going to tinker again. I’m going to leave 0.5 in the bank in case I think to go back to him if he scores attacking returns but I’m removing him out and improving my midfield.

I really like Maddison, but he has been linked to Newcastle, so just be careful in case there is any inkling of tension or desire for a move. There was a bid rejected today.
He scored for me!
But yeah can't wait to look back at all our starting squads at the end of the season and be like "why the feck did I have Bailey/Neto/Rashy in there??"
Yeah that is a fair point.. but that way Perisic may not start every game either or get subbed off early..
Robertson, Bailey vs Diaz and Neco?
Second looks better in terms of structure and flexibiliy as there is lots of othe 8 million mids, but not many 7 million defenders. First feels better since Liverpool will probably get 2 clean sheets in the first 4 and I think Bailey can be quite good.

Is there a way we can start a newbies league chat but in here?
I’m in the newbies league and am happy being there but obviously most of us either got promoted or will do over the season.
If anyone reading this is interested in joining a draft league and giving that a go we could probably use the numbers.

I just created new draft with Vardy.
4.5 (4.0)
TAA Robertson James Perisic (4.5)
Salah Mount Saka Neto (Pereira)
Jesus Vardy (4.5)
Vardy vs Bournemouth at home in GW1, and also good record vs Arsenal in GW2 (11 goals in 14 matches vs Arsenal). I can sell one of Mount and Saka to Foden or Mahrez if I need City cover in GW2.
Is Vardy + Mount better than Kane + Rashford or 6.0?? Having Kane would allow me to go straight to Haaland in GW2.

On paper Robertson and Bailey is better than Diaz and Neco.
Wow. First draft I’ve seen with no City players.
West Ham away and Foden being uncertain to start in GW1 really put me away.
But that’s one game. You can’t only plan for GW1. You should avoid transfers after week 1 unless you absolutely have to.
Many times I have just gone for best players rather than structure and then wildcarded in gameweek 3 to 5.
I think if this do not work I might take a hit to sell Bailey and TAA in gameweek 3 and see what I can get. Robertson plus Bailey will not be enough to get any 8 million mids if they gone up.
I planned for either Kane -> Haaland in GW2 or if I picks Vardy then one of Mount or Saka to Foden or Mahrez in GW2. Is that not a good plan?
I thought you were going with Vardy. How are you going to get to Haaland in one move? Also Leicester play Brentford week 1 not Bournemouth.
I posted this in the original post you replied.I asked: Is Vardy + Mount + Saka better than Kane + Mount + Rashford or 6.0?? Having Kane would allow me to go straight to Haaland in GW2. But with Vardy, I could do either Mount or Saka to Foden or Mahrez.
Yesterday got me questioning my team. What do you think is best?
Grealish/Haaland or de Bruyne/Martial
I think de Bruyne could be good value playing so high up the pitch and being on free kick/corners. Not sure Haaland will get more points than him even if he is on penalties. At least not in the start of the season while bedding in. Grealish looks good, but got few assists and goals last year which worry me. Martial, on the other hand, looked lively.
The second combo cost 0.5 more so it would mean downgrading a defender (James->Perisic) or goalkeeper (Ramsdale->Raya). That makes the rest of my team a little lighter, but it also means I can fairly easily move back to Haaland from de Bruyne, if Haaland finds his rythm. Martial might be different to switch, but also gives the opportunity to jump on in form players though perhaps by downgrading a defender. With my current team there is no obvious moves necessary the first 8 gameweeks which is a bit boring.
