Anyone got any good tips for the 3 club's players coming into the prem for this years fantasy league, as doesnt have much history for them.

Good assists, goals, sneaky good points scorer, penalty takers etc.

Grady diaganla for west brom. Massive mistake us selling him caused issues but we sold to wba who had him on loan last year

Very good player
 
couple of leeds defenders you can make a case for, mitrovic seems reasonably priced at 6m for fulham but dont think youre gonna find a Lundstrum too easily ;)
 
Mitrovic a decent striker option on FPL this year at £6m.
Leeds I'd be looking at Rodrigo the first few weeks to see how he gets on and he may take on penalties given he scored 7 last year for Valencia and Stuart Dallas is down as a defender at £4.5m but played 17 games in Midfield last season and featured in all but 1 Championship game might be worth a punt

Tough to say though. I wouldn't be rushing out and getting promoted players into the team early. I tend to play fairly safe early on and not pick any newly transferred players or promoted players until I've got an idea how safe a pick they're going to be. Could mean I miss out on a few points, but won't cost me on transfers if newly transferred players don't play or don't adapt quickly. When you can get guys like Reece James for £5m or James Justin for £4.5m who have Premier League experience and are likely to be starters at decent PL sides I'd rather go for them over newly promoted players personally.
 
Mitrovic has almost as many bookings as goals in the PL. avoid him like the plague imo.

I think Dan has it spot on. There are enough experienced players of value that it’s best to jump on a bandwagon when it comes to promoted players.
 
Ive put a few 4.0 and 4.5 mill Leeds defenders in, as will probably only play 3 at the back most weeks.

Taking a punt on either harry Wilson or brewster being sold or loaned to another prem club, so could be good value there if they play most weeks.

Ive put man u's Fernandes in - buying money if their current purple patch of penalties keep up.

I say purple patch - more like a patch on Barney the dinosaurs bigger brother's quilt! ;)

Just a massive massive hint for you

4 teams aren't playing the first game week ... Make sure you have 11 players available

It gets you points but do you not feel dirty :sick:

That boat sailed a long time ago.

Lukaku, Richarlison, Rashford have all been good points scorers for me in my team plus a few others over the last few years.

Had some right duffers as well from United and the Ev, also, though.:D

Just about scraped 11 together in the first week.
 
Doing a draft one tomorrow night with some mates and been looking through the player lists

8 players, squad of 15 each so 120 in total, 40 defenders, 40 midfielders, 16 keepers and 24 strikers

Look at who you get for midfielder number 40 or striker 24, maybe the depth isnt that great in the prem league lol


Any sleepers gratefully received please!!!!!

This is handy, not sure how accurate it is, but will give a decent idea.

thanks, very factual historical looking based on well known data sadly rather than any real insight into what may happen. for eg they list 3 penalty takers for Chelsea, fair chance none of them get in the side and almost certainly none of them takes a pen if they get one (cant see Werner not being on pens to start)

think the draft is quite different to the normal game as only one person can own each player so case of finding some others dont want as you go further down the lists (esp in midfield and up front i think)
 
Well in our draft I ended up with:

GK: Leno, Ramsdale
DF: Laporte, Digne, Tierney, Doherty, Castagne
MF: Fernandes, Rashford, Havertz, Zaha, Greenwood
FW: Werner, Jesus, Mitrovic

thoughts? (apart from i can only get max 9 on the park at the weekend lol)
 
These adverts are annoying.......

Fundy, Chelsea's team midfield and forwards seem like 10 years ago when they were buying the leagues.......;) Great to watch, 2-3 players for every position, but a nightmare for fantasy league, as wont play every week, although I have gone with Werner myself.

Ive just put Batshuayi in at palace.

Fancied 2 different Leeds midfielders, but one had a lot more assists than the other and a lot less bookings.

I think Ive put in leicesters 2nd choice left back, as now Chilwell has gone, may play every week - Justin.

Who is Wolves back up for doherty - any wolves fans enlighten us - again may get a lot more game time.

If only I had 100.50 million....i'd walk it.;)

Vinagri is the cheap wolves option this year Pete.

I was tempted by Batshuayi but they face a lot of top teams early doors. Starting with a real tough opening fixture ;)

Leicester were in free fall after the break for covid.

I’ve made the mistake I always do this year, early season confidence sees 3 Saints in the team.....
 
Keep messing with my GW1 team. Currently got a couple of punts in the team in the form of Maitland-Niles, Nketiah and Werner. Maitland-Niles impressed in the last two big games he played so hoping Arteta's going to stick with him, Nketiah's impressed in pre-season so hoping he'll get the nod over Lacazette - if he does he'll be a very handy £6m striker option and then I never tend to go with new signings early on but striker options are pretty limited and Werner at £9.5m isn't a bad option. I've got the money to upgrade to Vardy but will stick with Werner for now. I have James Justin on the bench so if one of the punts doesn't end up playing he'll come in.
