Robertson vs Diaz
Kane vs Haaland

Two key decisions that will impact the start of the season. Both in terms of players and team structure.

Kane v Haaland - both great options but I'm going Haaland simply because I think his fixtures are better.

Robertson v Diaz is more difficult. I would prefer Robertson but that leaves the team in a state where it's not very flexible. Having an 8.0 midfielder leaves you with options but if you do let's say a 6.5 mid instead of Diaz to raise funds for Rubbo and suddenly the must have player turns out to be Mount... You have to make two transfers to get to him.

Anyone help with one of these drafts?

1.

Ederson
TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic
Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Baily
Haaland, Jesus

Subs: Gazzaniga, Andreas, Williams, Archer

2.

Ederson
TAA, Cancelo, James, Dalot
Salah, Diaz, Rashford, Neto
Haaland, Jesus

Subs: Gazzaniga, Andreas, Williams, Archer

Why a Brentford defender? At least with Raya you have a chance of save points even if the clean sheet is gone and they have 2 hard fixtures to start off with.
 
How do people feel about Doherty? I can't quite stretch to Perisic so need a 5.0 defender and Doherty or Trippier seem the best options...

You sure he is going to start? They have 3 RBs and 3 LBs.

Yeah that's my issue with him and the rest of them over there at Spurs. Might just ignore them altogether.

That leaves Trippier or Dalot. Probably go for Trips as they're fixtures are ok and he takes set pieces.

Hi Thanks for responding.

I went for him cause he has tremendous attacking potential to begin with and if they do keep a cleanie then even better. I have decided to not got for Raya as I feel Sanchez and Mendy can keep me covered well for the initial part of the season.

But yes, with first two hard fixtures, I get what you are trying to say. Thanks.
 
I really need help deciding...

Perisic and Baily Vs Trippier and Neto

I really want Perisic because it gives me Spurs attacking cover with the benefits of defensive points but he will get rotated/managed a lot. On its own, that would be fine but I also feel Baily will be the same... Villa fixtures turn shit after a few games and Bailly so cheap that is hard to move on to someone else...

Trippier should play a lot and ok fixtures and Neto the same... But this option just doesn't feel as sexy as the option above.

:lol: I've got Trippier and Bailey. I know what you mean about Perisic because I'll be Spurs'less as well when Kane inevitably becomes Haaland after GW1 or before. If I knew that Darwin was gonna be a regular I'd definitely consider going Son over Salah as well.

My current dilemma is Ramsdale, Trippier, Kane or Raya, Perisic, Haaland. First feels safer and gives me Arsenal defensive cover. I have Mount in midfield as well to jump on a City mid in gw2 if I wanted to keep Kane.

Bailey can be moved on for Almiron or KDH although they have some messy fixtures around the time you'd want to do it as well. Tricky one.
 
In fact my team looks so bland and template it's winding me up...

Ramsdale
TAA Robertson Cancelo Trippier
Salah Mount Martinelli Bailey
Kane Jesus

I guess safety of crowds and all that. Especially early doors.
 
Slightly less boring 5-3-2

Ramsdale
Perisic TAA Robertson Trippier Cancelo
Salah Saka Bailey
Jesus Kane/Haaland

All those defenders have big haul potential.

Mount is a good differential. I rather have James though. and 2 million extra, but yeah only if James plays an attacking role.

Yeah we're all pretty template but better to go this way at the start for manoeuvrability in my opinion.

It looks bland but still, Robertson is owned by less than 11%, Trippier less than 17%, Mount less than 10%, Martinelli less than 17%, Ramsdale less than 12% and Bailey less than 9%. Even the likes of Kane on around 25% isn't bad. Still a lot of gains to be made.
 
So we think Perisic will start? Or better to go with Dalot?

Thing is I want Robertson and I want James. I do not trust any 8 million mids to be as good when they play to pick over these.
Diaz could beat Robertson, but I am not sure.

I think Perisic ceiling is as high as any defenders although risky with minutes.

For me 5 defenders seems ideal, but it is not flexible. Worst case I wildcard gameweek 2 and remove all my premium defenders if I need 3 big attackers.

Fair point. Can't believe Robertson is so low. He was the top scoring defender in the second half of last season and scored more than both Salah and Mane.
 
Fek Robertson - that guy's late goal cost me our league by 3 points last season.

Saying that, he is in my draft for this season :)
 
I am trying to help a friend sign up, but I only find sign in.

How do you sign up with new account?

Never mind did find it.

Yep, I'd be very surprised if Diaz outscores him this season. But I guess it's about the alternatives in their positions too. There are a lot of defenders people want to cram in atm.
 
My draft, welcome being picked apart:

Sanchez (Gazzaniga)

Trent - Robertson - Cancelo - Zinchenko (Williams)

Salah - Bernardo - Rashford - Bruno G (Andreas)

Haaland - Jesus (Greenwood)

Quotes from Scott Parker. Doesn't sound like he's currently expecting much from Bournemouth this season.

It's hard to pick something apart without just turning it into your own team. I will say though that I think Gabriel might be a better £5m defender pick for Arsenal than Zinchenko. Scored 5 goals last season and plays against some sides that are poor at defending set pieces early on. Arteta's fullbacks are not as expansive as the likes of Liverpool/Spurs/Chelsea.

Bernardo I haven't seen in many teams. I would try and get in someone with more threat around the box though.

Two fair points.

I'd expect Zinchenko to start midfield for Arsenal anyway, and possibly on set pieces from one side.

Bernardo I'll probably take your advice on, my thinking there though is that with focus on Haaland and KDB, Bernardo could make hay with late runs into the box. Will look again though.

At the end of the day you should go with your gut. By all means take on advice from people but too much can be just noise and you'll kick yourself if you take out picks that do well. I'm trying to avoid reddit and twitter a bit more this season as it really does mess with your head and have you overthinking everything.

GK - fine

Def - looks decent although Zinchenko can be replaced with the likes of Trippier, Gabriel etc... With that said, Zin could be decent option of he nails a spot. Everyone saying he will pay mf but with Tierney always a minute away from injury, I think he will actually be a left back.

Mid - weakest part of your team. Too many risks. Bernardo hasn't got great xGI and Pep roulette. Rashy could be good value but he seems to be the first candidate to get subbed or start on bench with Eriksen and Ronaldo in the squad. Bruno G I think over performed his xG last year and expect his contributions to lower this season.

St - yeah, same as everyone else I guess.

Just my opinion though mate, I'm not some guru so yeah, do what you feel is right!

I'm in half a mind to bench Neto and start Bailey ever since reading that.

I've actually removed Neto after the Jiminez injury.

But... You have Neto? After EVERYTHING you've said leading up to this message? You spineless shit on a stick :lol:

Perisic wouldn't play 90 mins every game. Conte has 4 wing back options and also Lucas who can play Wing back. He is 33 and is coming to the toughest league.

5.5 can be better spent somewhere.

Yeah but that's ok if he plays 60 and can actually be helpful but yeah will be annoying off he gets subbed before 60 or starts on bench...

Who else is good value at that price or lower?
 
My team is defo locked now. Waiting friday now.
Ramsdale (i wanted someone from Arsenal in defence and he will have fair share of CS)
Cancelo, Dalot, TAA, Perisic, James
Salah, Rashford, Mahrez
Kane (c), Jesus

Risking with Rashford only but for 6.5 it is worth it.

Now, play on!

Actually a lot ! Villa has some nice fixtures, try taking a punt on our full backs, Newcastle has excellent fixtures or even Arsenal.

I have Trent, Cancelo, Trippier, James and Williams.

If you read Conte's comments he's pretty much said no one else can do what Perisic can and how he's absolutely perfect for that role (which is true in that squad). As of now he most probably starts Southampton - which actually isn't such a home banker defensively as people think. Soton generally have goals in them. But otherwise Conte loves him, is already bigging him up and the upside is insane if you saw how advanced they were (regularly ahead of Kane and Son).

We can actually start with both Doherty and Perisic and just bagging one of those hauls will set you up better than any stable 90 minute 6 pointer guy. It's the James and Chilwell of last season.
 
So basically everyone will have the same 8 or 9 players and everything will be decided on captain picks and 2 or 3 differentials each week ?

Welcome to FPL 2022 - 2023

And i will somehow find myself 300 points away from the leaders come the end of the season :)

It's a myth that Conte's game go through the full backs every time. You can actually go back and check the fullbacks of Inter and Chelsea stats under Conte. Yes, he uses them extensively but the creativity has always come from mid or forwards. Son or Kane is an absolute must.

And no, they aren't chilwel and James of last year. Tuchel way of playing full backs is different from Conte's way .

My 2 cents !
