I just think he's going to be good for Liverpool.
Villa play Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea away in the first 6. Plus Brighton at home in week 7, I wait til week 8 to look at Watkins.
Yea, he is overrated. I started the season off with Sanchez/Henderson combo but Steele was amazing last season at 4m. Saving penalties, assists, BPS he had everything. Such a shame he isn't guaranteed starting spot. I would have loved to continue having him in my team.
Double Brighton defence gave me unreal points at the end of last season.
Saw Chelsea are trying to get Sanchez as "cover", which seemed odd. But would leave Steele as guaranteed #1.
Mac is about the pens, which he won't get near at Liverpool.
Brighton were an attacking beast last year and he only had 2 assists all season.
Like I said Villa is good away from home. Plus Villa have improved their already good attack. I don’t think both Pool and Chelsea will have clean sheets again Villa. And Brighton definitely won’t have a clean sheet away at Villa.
Caf league?
Yeah not bad at all, you can always tinker with your squad to improve.
Did you have the right starting 11 ?
When i first tried it out it gave me a crap rating which annoyed me, only for me to realise i had Haaland etc on the bench.
For 6m he may be worth a punt and see how he fits into Liverpool's formation etc for a few weeks.
Onana
Chilwell, Gabriel, Estupinian
Rashy, Martinelli, Saka, Mitoma, Son
Haaland, Jackson
Subs: Areola, Adebayo, Kabore, Beyer (0.5 in the bank)
Thoughts? Ideally don't want Jackson but can't get to Watkins without a downgrade...

It’s in the Standard that Chelsea are hopeful that Nkunku is weeks and not months out. He’ll not be starting the season then and even then a risky pick if there’s a reoccurrence.
I suppose Jackson is guaranteed more game time now but it might lessen his appeal now that Nkunku isn’t up there for a while.
For me it’s either start with Watkins or a Salah draft, but for me that needs a Nketiah/Raul Jimenez/Vinicius/Joao Pedro to work.
I wonder if Alvarez/Solanke at £6.5m would work but the defence would suffer a bit.

Yeah, might change a couple around.
Went with this 11.
Pickford
TAA
Shaw
Pau
Zinchenko
Rashford
Saka
Bruno
MacAllister
Odegaard
Haaland
Benched.
Vigouroux
Botman
Vinicius
Semenyo
A 5.0 defender is better than a 5.0 forward? Even if he is coming off the bench?
Didn't they spend some dosh on that that Verbruggen guy. Not sure he's guaranteed starting spot.
Just checked FPL tracker and both of the have literally same minutes in preseason. FFS, RDZ is looking like another Pep.
Nah, the 2 bench options are 4.0 don't want to move to 5. And both will play. There's no 4.5 striker that plays.
My only real option is to downgrade Son to Maddison. But I feel more excited by Son...
With Nkunku out it strengthens the appeal for Mudryk. He will start now on the left.
Definitely Son is a better option unless Kane leaves. Then I will go to Richarlison and use that 2.0m elsewhere.
No, you're a fantasy rat!Fantasyrådet

Thankfully I won my leagues last season, but RDZ made me sweat with the whole dropping March and Mitoma business.
Pretty sure Verbruggen will be number 1, hes significantly better at pretty much everything than Steele.
Interesting, but I have a few concerns…
Son was bloody awful last season, even if Kane leaves, I’m struggling to see how his form is going to get back to 2 years ago, but I have no idea how he’s looked in pre-season.
Onana worries me because I’m waiting on Hojlund’s price. I may want triple United attack.
After the Jesus news I changed my team up to:
Johnstone - Flekken
Henry - Estu - Gabriel - Pau - Kabore
Saka - Martinelli - Bruno - Rashy - Mitoma
Watkins - Haaland - J.Pedro
My thought process is: I suspect Areola won’t start and 2 rotating 4.5 GKs will emerge quickly as the template. And I suspect Areola’s price will drop quickly as those 4.5s emerge, and don’t want too many transfers on GKs early.
Want that extra United spot, and not committing to Onana yet.
I’m not convinced by Chelsea or Tottenham at all, I’d rather not go into the season with any assets until I see it.
I want to front load on MF and FWDs, and I suspect rotations of 4.5s will work at the back: Botman-Pau-Henry-Ugogie. In other word I’m anti “big at the back” and am anxiously brother @Moby ‘s return from “vacation”
If I could, and probably will, I’ll switch Martinelli to Foden. That gives me the ability to go straight back to Jesus, just want to watch community shield first.
Also considering going Watkins to Wizza or maybe Hojlund, depending on his price. With that much ITB I can check and adjust quickly to trends.
I’m pretty settled on my first attempt:
———————Ramsdale
Estupinan - Shaw - Stones - TAA
Saka - Foden - Bruno - Martinelli
————-Haaland - Jackson
0.5 in the bank, potentially for Jackson to Nkunku.
What are you all overthinking for weeks for?

Us FPL managers certainly need more Ten Hags than Peps.
Dont blame us when you miss out on Bruno hatrick off Rashford assists in GW1.My first day today.
Shocked at the amount of teams with Bruno AND Rashford.
You have been looking at this for weeks and that’s what you come up with?

Someone hasn't checked the fixtures.
Nah, I can imagine how the 0-4 Fulham - United thrashing will feel all decked out in one of me retro Sharp tops will while the missus chastises meYou utter maniac.
Can you imagine how a weekend with United 0 Fulham 0 would feel
. We've seen it all we've won the lot

I’m just scared of United players
If the score big and I don’t have them, I’ll still feel good anyway.
Think I’m going for Bruno and Shaw.

Ramsdale Foden & Stones TAA Martinelli with no Jesus JacksonNot a bad team actually. I might copy it. But not Ramsdale. You'll never win anything with that tit in goal.

If not United, then Arsenal, though does Jesus out help or hinder the likes of Martinelli and Saka.
If Nketiah is confirmed, 5.5m into their fixtures looks big.
Although nketiah is a bit of a score 2 in a tough game, ie versus us, then do jack all v others for weeks.

The conundrum of double-jeopardy. Watch United players bring you success in fantasy during a victorious weekend, or watch them sabotage your fantasy as well as leaving you frustrated.

You've basically picked 10 players from the pool of 16 or so that everyone is picking from.
Then put a silly second striker in.
Aye but I done it by myself in 5 minutes, without watching a 10 YouTube videos and listening to 6 podcasts.
Not a bad team actually. I might copy it. But not Ramsdale. You'll never win anything with that tit in goal.
Just wanted to cover Arsenals defence.
Who we going for instead? Raya punt?
Yes anyone can pick a reasonable team in a minute or 2.
But where's the fun it that?

Oh hang on, I thought you didn't need any other tips
For the United fans playing and don’t have Bruno are we underestimating him especially for his price?
He definitely looks a good option this season, after being overpriced last.
If we progress from last season, Bruno will be a central part of that.
Also it's really tough watching us not having him isn't it!
It definitely will be tough watching us cause right now I don’t own him. I got Martinelli, Saka, Rashford, Son and Mitoma.
