Fantasy Premier League 18/19

Another question why aren't people stocking up on City attackers?

Probably because they have some much depth likely slot of their forwards won't play every minute like some others are almost guaranteed too when fit. Their forwards are so good they will rotate.
 
I'm finding this thread more exciting than deadline day.

Thoughts on Aubameyang & B. Silva vs Aguero & Mhki for the opening few games? I fancy both Aubameyang & B. Silva to start well so I'm conflicted.
Arsenal's first 2 games are difficult. I would only look at their players after GW2.
 
Name the 100% starting city attackers? ;)

I'm gonna have a punt and say Aguero, Sane and Mahrez should start against Arsenal. If those 3 can continue in top form then they should pick up points but that's just me. Jesus may come on as a sub for Aguero in the latter stages but for the first 7 or 8 games City will pick up the most points. I'll be very surprised if after those first 8 games the 3 I have quoted are not in the top 5 of their positions.

Rotation.
Logically you are right but I fancy them to start with a bit of a bounce

I just think even if Arsenal beat them, there are atleast 4-5 games with 3+ goals in there.
 
Another question why aren't people stocking up on City attackers?

Seen plenty of Aguero. I think the midfield situation is slightly different as more risk of rotation there and the likes of D.Silva, KDB and Sterling don't look like being ready for Sunday. Leaves Mahrez, Sane and Bernardo Silva. Mahrez hasn't looked very good so far. Bernardo has been outstanding in pre-season but you know he'll be benched soon enough. Personally, I'd rather triple up on Liverpool for the first game and keep £0.5m in the bank to do Mane to KDB if I'm feeling it.

Go with your gut.
 
Why isn't he available in the draft?

"Locked - player can't be selected. Reasons for this are a) player has been added to the game within 24 hours of the waiver / draft deadline or when free agency mode is active or b) player has been removed from another squad. Locked players become available for waiver requests at the next deadline."

I think the waiver deadline happens 24h before the gameweek deadline
 
I’ve got a team that I will definitely forget about and not change at all ever.

Fabianski
Trippier Tarkowski Vertonghen Alonso
Salah Neves Kante De Bruyne Sessegnon
Firmino

Subs: Boruc, Arnautovic, Mitrovic, Maguire
Probably going to suffer with Fabianski in goal against Liverpool first game, but I rate him, so after that he should be fine. Maguire can come in for Tarkowski when he’s fit.

I’m assuming that Trippier starts over Aurier. I’m not overly happy with my reserve striker options - maybe Zaha for Arnautovic would be better.

How Zaha is a striker when Salah is a midfielder is beyond me.
 
Thoughts on 5m midfielders - do you go safe with Kante or take a punt on Neves or Cairney?

Sound advice, you'd be kicking yourself (slightly) more afterwards otherwise.
 
I think you'd have the same attacking output with Trent as with Robertson, which could free up 1 mil to get Ederson.

Is Trent going to stay first choice though beyond the first game? That's the big question. Robertson is actually guaranteed the left-back spot for the season, but there's a chance that once Liverpool get some more CBs back fit, i.e. Lovren in time for their second match, then Gomez might be moved back out to RB in place of Trent.

I also keep on forgetting that Clyne exists.
 
First time playing this, went with this squad.
De Gea
Arnold Azpilicueta Bertrand
Salah Neves Sane Cairney
Zaha Agüero Arnautovic

Should maybe swap Azpilicueta for Alonso?
 
I have never last the season but want to give a try...

Whats the code to join?
 
Lucas Perez to West Ham is interesting for those who own Arnautovic. 0.5m cheaper and actually a striker.

Couldnt the same be said for Moreno though? To a leaser extend, mind you. Trent looked really good in the end of last season I thought.
 
Ffs. Changed line-up 6 times already. Just play the 1st game already.
 
Tosun or Zaha is a tough call.

Zaha undoubtedly a better player, but who will get more points?
 
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease advise

Lloris
Rudiger Mendy VVD Daniels
Sane Mane Mkhi Richarlison
Aguero Aubameyang

Thoughts?
A bit meh. Not so sure about the two Arsenal players considering they’re up against City, Chelsea and West Ham in the first few games. Spurs is struggling with a world cup hangover so Lloris is risky. Sane is definitely going to be rotated, same with Rudiger, Mkhitaryan and Agüero. You could potentially end up with only five players playing. I’d try to pick a few more players who are certain starters, for instance Jota for Mkhitaryan.

That's a pretty solid team. I like Holebas more than Daniels but besides that it's looking good.

Also I'm more keen on subbing in Arsenal after round 2, but that's about belief.

Edit: I wouldn't be so much concerned about rotation in these first weeks. If some of them starts to be rotated you have an easy way to sub them.
 
Tosun or Zaha is a tough call.

Zaha undoubtedly a better player, but who will get more points?

Went with Tosun due to the great programme, how he finished last season+friendlies, and how Everton will play attacking football under Mauro Silva.
 
McCarthy

Mendy
Robertson
Trippier

Bernardo Silva
Jota
Richarlison
Mané

King
Agüero
Firmino

Fabianski
Cairney
David Luiz
Holebas

What do people think about that squad? Reckon I'm nearly there. Can't spend any more time on it ! Leaves me £1m in the bank too.

What are you trying to say?
 
-------------Ederson
Robertson - van Aanholt - Mendy
Jota - Richarlison - Mane - Salah
-------Aguero - Zaha - King

Bench: Button, Cairney, Wan-Bissaka, Peltier

Too many eggs in two baskets? Am I done here? Any today's signings I should be opened to? I swear this will be my last season of FPL.

What do we think? Maybe take fred out for a cheaper alternative like Kante? And use the extra million on say Kepa for Foster?
 
What do we think?

Don't think Fred is a good pick really, he'll be quite deep most of the time. De Bruyne won't start the season and Daniels isn't nailed. I like the front 3 though.

Yeh i agree on Fred, wasn’t sure on de Bruyne so will take him out too. Thanks.

Speroni, Kante and Fred out. Bring in Fabianski for Speroni, Fred for Jota, and a £4.5 midfielder, IMO.

3-4-2 formation? Interesting...
