Nick 8,790 Posted 15 August 2020 Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 Well it’s gone live today to pick your squad. There’s a bit of value out there in terms of some early transfers new to the PL but I’ve had four initial attempts and to fill your squad with the likely established suspects that’ll earn close to 200 points per player will leave you with at least four players left to pick and already beyond the 100 million budget... It’s of course always like this but this season seems especially tough. Time to read up on those players coming up from the Championship and to keep an eye on the window. Good luck peeps.

UniFox21 7,919 Posted 15 August 2020 Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 Quite a few position changes: Aubameyang, Rashford and Greenwood being 3 interesting ones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peach0000 2,299 Posted 15 August 2020 Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 Everyone seems especially expensive this time round which I think is a positive move. It means we will have to find value. Mitrovic seem well priced, Justing will be worth a shot for early season until Ricardo is back as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HowardsBulletHeader 274 Posted 15 August 2020 Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 I haven't looked at it properly yet, only seen some prices. Werner looks an absolute must at 9.5. KDB and Salah haven't been priced out either. Bruno and Pulisic still standout too at 10.5 and 8.5. Lots of midfield options as always. Be interested to see Ziyech's price too, Chelsea will have a frighteningly good front line next year, the back door and the keeper will be the problem. Can't see Ings doing as well as this year to be honest. Sooner pay an extra £1m for Werner. Our own Jamie has been nudged up £1m too, still a decent price as people continue to write him off and he proves them wrong year after year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_w 5,393 Posted 15 August 2020 Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 (edited) So much will depend on when Man United/City have their first games and the fixture list. At the moment my team is... Meslier - Nyland Vinagre - Lamptey - TAA - Dallas - Ferguson Salah - Aubameyang - Greenwood - Ziyech - Bissouma Werner - Wood - Adams Feel like our players have almost all been priced out of the game to be honest.

Nick 8,790 Posted 15 August 2020 Author Report Share Posted 15 August 2020 I did start this topic in ‘general football and sport’ (non LCFC related) where the last thread on FPL was - (Well at least I thought I did) I think it may have got merged with another thread which was started in general chat and now is situated here... @Mark just a heads up!

Haywood_6 983 Posted 16 August 2020 Report Share Posted 16 August 2020 I've gone with Dubravka Justin Walker Pieters Robertson Vinagre DeBruyne Salah Greenwood Grealish Werner Martial Bench: Lamptey, Soucek, Davis My tactic this year will to be to change my team as little as possible, only for injuries/suspensions, too many changes never seems to pay off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RumbleFox 7,696 Posted 26 August 2020 Report Share Posted 26 August 2020 Surely Auba is an absolute must if he’s a midfielder? Potentially the highest scorer of the season? Didn’t even realise it had gone live yet. Well, that’s the end of what little life I have. Hello FPL my old friend. X Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobHawk 1,203 Posted 3 September 2020 Report Share Posted 3 September 2020 How we all looking guys? What are we thinking? I seem to change my team every day and I still can't 100% decide what to do with players who blank gameweek 1 but I've gone with vardy, taa, Salah, kane and auba as my current big players. JJ looks a bargain at 4.5 for us too given he's highly likely to start against West brom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xen 3,131 Posted 4 September 2020 Report Share Posted 4 September 2020 Few tricky decisions to be made over the next week - I'm about settled at the moment but I'm certain I'll make more than a fair few changes by then Currently going with: McCarthy - (Rodak) [Goalkeepers will rotate through the season] TAA - Doherty - Justin - (Ayling) - (Vinagre) Auba - Salah - Son - ASM - Soucek Vardy - Mitrovic - (Davies) Trying to figure out a way to shoehorn Werner in as well, but without dropping Vardy. Son/Mitro for Armstrong/Werner+1.0ITB looks a possibility atm, but Son's fixtures have me hesitating. Gah! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brucey 5,472 Posted 5 September 2020 Report Share Posted 5 September 2020 Playing this properly for the first time this season. The GW1 blanks are annoying. Planning future transfers to get to Manc assets seems like a minefield with likely rapid price rises and Covid complications. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lcfc82 201 Posted 6 September 2020 Report Share Posted 6 September 2020 What are people thinking for GW1 with players from teams without a game ? Just picking them anyway and take the hit 1st week ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just picking them anyway and take the hit 1st week ? I have De Bruyne at the moment on bench with money ITB for Man United players and will basically have to pray Aubameyang blanks GW1. I would rather avoid having to play an early wildcard and hope I make up the points over the first half of the season, especially if this season is unpredictable with injuries and I have to suddenly ship 3 players before January. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fox92 12,220 Posted 6 September 2020 Report Share Posted 6 September 2020 (edited) Prices are ridiculous. KDB/Abauymang/Salah/Mane/Fernandes all more than 10m and even the next sort of player down, the Grealish level, is at 7m. Edited 6 September 2020 by Fox92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
