Rds1983 Posted July 6, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'm not convinced by Perisic and surprised his ownership is so high. Competiting with Reguillion and Sessegnon for the LWB spot, new to the league, 33 years old (but in good shape) and the last time he played under Conte he played under 60 mins in nearly half the games (seen that on Twitter but haven't checked myself yet). Somebody sell me on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his price he's easy enough to get rid of if he doesn't perform. The risk of missing out on a few early hauls is massive if you don't have him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reguilon is only 4.5 on FPL I think he's ahead of Reguillion but that he'll possibly have his minutes managed. As it stands I'm leading more towards spending a little extra and getting James or Chilwell etc. I'm open to being convinced though as he is a very good player.

My first draft includes Robbo, Trent, Cancelo, James and Perisic Would you rather spend 6.5m on a shit striker or on Andy Robertson who will get you 200 points? There's just no value in attackers, again. Yeh I think this could be a dreadful season but I really hope I'm wrong. I want to watch the games and hope my players score goals and if 5-4-1 is the optimal way to play then they have made a huge error, I don't want to watch a game and hope it's 0-0. They should have put some fun back in the game, make it so forwards also get 5 points a goal seems fair to me. The bonus system seems to massively reward full backs for the top sides.

Stevo985 Posted July 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) The way fullbacks play now has changed the game. The points system isn't designed for defenders that get so many attacking returns. You're basically playing wingers who get more points for attacking returns and have the fallback of clean sheets if they blank attacking wise Edited July 6, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a little bit of a longer break than some others this summer and no WC coming up for him so doesn't need to be managed anytime soon.

Wainy316 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Plenty of time to change my mind but no Salah for me either. Gone for Haaland, Son and Sterling (assuming he moves to Chelsea) as my big hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2022 Finding it impossible not to go really big at the back, and that's no fun. I prefer filling my midfield with the Coutinhos and the Bowens of the world rather than a backline filled with fullbacks. But they've got the pricing badly wrong on defenders. The only decisions now are how big to go at the back, and who amongst the midfield/attack can you justify bringing in over a defender. My current decisions are on Diaz over Robbo or Jesus over one of them. Maybe drop Chilwell to Neco Williams if he signs for Forest and then go 4 big at the back instead of 5. But I can't see my draft changing too much from what it is now. Just the peripheral stuff. Even if big signings are made. As for the premium striker, I'm also on Kane with plans to go to Haaland in week 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I've neglected my backline a bit apart from Trent. I've got Digne though who will hopefully be good for assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm huge at the back at the moment. My current two drafts: Ederson Trent, Robbo, Cancelo, James, Perisic Salah, Dewsbury Hall, Buendia, Bowen Haaland Subs: Darlow, Andreas, Archer, Greenwood (Leeds) or Sanchez Trent, Cancelo, James, Perisic, Lamptey Buendia, Neto, Salah Haaland, Kane Subs: Darlow, Andreas, Archer, 4.5 mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
