I just wanted to get an idea from a budget perspective of what I could afford if the Premier League started back at the weekend. Could I go 3 or 4 premiums. Fixture swings and all that. I've a pretty sweet team (or should I say 7 pretty sweet teams ). For me the big decisions are around Kane & KDB, how big to go at the back. Do you go into the next phase without Trent, or even without Cancelo etc. I think there's plenty of scope for variance and there won't be that strong a template. the one draft i did for GW17 had both trent and cancelo in it. i need to try and get some utd players in there somehow because they've probably got the best fixtures but it's whether or not to put any faith whatsoever in utd...

Tomaszk Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just thought about this for first time in a month. Any early thoughts? Feels like not too many world cup players massively affected with England and Brazil both out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foden absolutely ruined me just before World cup. Brought him in just as he got dropped for no reason and didn't play for 4 games. I was going well before it as well. Is Ederson mad? Ederson+Haaland+.... someone else? Rashford is going in my team I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashford is going in my team I think. not mad, but i would be wanting 3 outfield city players personally. it's not like he gets a lot of save/bonus points. just checked, only twice this season has he gotten more than the standard 90 min + clean sheet points and he's ranked only 9th overall points wise for keepers. but certainly an option at least until the next wildcard in terms of outfield players, i think we have to be happy at the amount of minutes (or lack thereof) for city players this WC. KDB out of the competition early, cancelo barely played, and alvarez playing a lot of minutes will likely mean more haaland minutes at least in the first few GWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my transfers yesterday but to be honest I've really enjoyed not thinking about it for the last few weeks. Really struggling to get into a groove this season.

I'm 90% sure that this is the way I'm going but there is still a nagging doubt. He had a troubled start to the season, which he should be over. The World Cup is gone and now he must surely realise he has to start performing and he's prety much guaranteed a run in the team like you say to get to prove himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've enjoyed my month off from football, and I'm struggling to get back into it. Very much a 'can't be arsed' at the moment.

Stevo985 Posted December 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've been doing so badly that I'm going to pick the most boring, template, wildcard draft going. I need to just regroup and get myself up the rankings with consistent scores.

Then I'll go mental from about GW30 if i've got any chance of hitting some significant positions I'm really not so sure there is such a strong template going into GW17, especially when you consider many of the stronger players will have been involved in the world cup and may very well have time off. I wonder how many FPL teams will go into GW17 with loads of shiny new players and end up having about 5 of them turn up, plus the duffers off the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Haaland Mitrovic? Plus a couple of others. I think that'll probably form my wildcard. With Dalot and Kepa, possibly, rounding out my first XI.

I had him, and he scored loads, but I don't think he scored enough to justify downgrading him and spending the money effectively elsewhere. Darwin is an interesting option for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
