Did I go too top heavy on the expensive players?
Thoughts on Konate for Liverpool? They're definitely trying to phase out older players are replace them with fresh blood, could he go on a long spell of starts next to Van Dijk while Matip starts in the UCL?
Is this literally the template this year?
Sanchez
Robbo - TAA - James - Cancelo - Tomiyasu
Salah - Saka - Neto(Andreas, Murphy)
Haaland - Jesus(Archer)
Any feedback welcome:
Team A:
Meslier (forster)
Trippier - TAA - Cancelo - Dalot (Neco)
Mahrez - Bruno G - Salah - Mount (Elliott)
Martial - Kane (Archer)
Team B:
Meslier (Forster)
TAA - Cucurella - Cancelo - Trippier (Neco)
Mount - Diaz - Mahrez - Bruno G (dasilva)
Haaland - Kane (Broja)
Team B is if Broja and Cucurella seals moves
Could also do Jesus - Nunez - Kane up top
Please RMT guys:
Raya (4.0)
Robbo, Chillwell, Justin, (Tomiyasu, Neco)
Salah, Mahrez, Grealish, Coutinho (Andreas)
Kane, Wilson, Martial
Might switch coutinho to 4.5 and then Justin or Tomiyasu to Cancelo
Usually it doesn't pay of, also it will annoy you painfully much when your benched keeper does better. It can at times work nicely. But usually it's just pain and suffering.
Mendy had some of the worst stats among all goalkeepers in the second part of the season, I don't think people really noticed how poor he was. They have a solid defence so if you want a Chelsea asset in defence one of their wingbacks is much better. Coutinho as well had a poor end to the season and is a big risk for that prize.
If all are nailed then A, but not sure about Rashford and Martinelli's minutes.
Bailey has done well in preseason and could start every game in the beginning, something to keep an eye on and should be clearer s GW1 approaches. 4.5 could be Tomiyasu or the ones you mentioned.
RMT Guys!
0.0ITB
GK: Sá (Raya)
DEF: Cancelo James Cash Jansson (Neco W)
MID: KDB Mount Diaz Rashford (Andreas)
FWD: Kane(c) Jesus (edouard)
Personally I think it’s balanced af
In my view you don’t need Edouard and Raya in that team, downgrading them gives you 1.5 to spend which could make Cash into VVD, James into Trent or Jansson into Dias/Laporte/Chilwell
Edit: or KdB to Salah (but my inital take was you prefer Kevin which is risky but a decent bet)
Going with your tip by Doubling up on Chelsea or city defenders is riskier. Instead I could downgrade Edouard & upgrade Cash to Matip which is what I’ll go for now.
Personally I find having interchangeable keepers an advantage rather than downgrading Raya to a 4mil option. Brentford’s first 10 fixtures look good
Good luck :)
As with myself, I’m sure you’ll make more changes before deadline hehe.
I don’t mind interchangeable keepers, but for a total spend of 9.5 I’d go for Ederson/Lloris and 4.0’er or settle with 9.0 across two 4.5’ers.
Either way is good, a matter of preference really.
In my view Raya+Sanchez is a decent combination for fixtures. Meslier+Henderson/Pickford/Raya is also decent.
Ederson (Forster)
Doherty TAA Mings Tomiyasu (Williams)
Salah Mount Rashford Neto (Andreas)
Kane Haaland (Greenwood)
Wondering if I should drop Kane/Haaland for Jesus and improve my defense and midfield.
Looks good, Martinelli worries me with his gametime. Not sure he will take pens either with the arrival of Jesus and Saka taking them towards the end of last season

Bissouma & Andreas Pereira should be nowhere near starters for you. Cucurella won't play too much for City straight away either.
Downgrade a premium and upgrade those positions.

not sure which gk to pick
I would probably think about different defender to Doherty cause there might be rotation risk. Good pick if he plays though.
United double up is maybe little bit too much this early on.
Easy way to keep this structure is to downgrade Robertson to VVD. And upgrade Sancho to 8 mil option.
This team doesn't have 11.5 mil forward. So if Kane and/or Haaland start banging you should have a plan in place how to get them in easily.
Interesting team still. Vardy could still be underlooked asset if he can keep scoring like a god in that age.
Ederson/Doherty and Neto downgrade allow me to get Haaland in place of Vardy. Haaland isn't PL proven although I don't doubt he'll adapt sooner rather than later Vardy as a punt especially with Arsenal in GW 2 (Scored 11 Goals in 14 against them)
Its only double United on certain GWs as Dalot would be rotated with Neto and Dalot could be swapped with anither 4.5m Def before GW1
!thanks
Villa have plethora of attacking options so I would be really hesitant of getting him. Unless he sets the world on fire at the start. There is always going to be some rotation risk with Villa's wingers I believe.
**\[RMT\]**
**GK**: Sanchez, 4.0
**DEF**: TAA, Cancelo, James, Doherty, 4.0
**MID:** Salah, Foden, Diaz, Rashford, Martenelli
**FWD**: Haaland
I believe this fits perfectly :')
I can downgrade Rashford -> Andreas, and upgrade Foden/Diaz -> Sterling. What do you think?
>IMO consider switching Doherty as he may not start (Spurs have 6 wingbacks).
!thanks. Yeah I was also thinking about moving Doherty to 4.5 and use the aforementioned strategy to change Martenelli -> Andreas, which opens up $$ for Sterling
I'm probably crazy and this probably isn't the final incarnation but plz RMT. Any and all feedback welcomed and thanked properly. Also happy to advise your own team or answer questions if you want to link to a comment.

Salah - Son - Andreas (Murphy - Dasilva)
Jesus - Haaland (Greenwood)
You're relying on 9 man rather than on 11. Neco and Andreas are just going to give you minutes played points, so this seems a lot risky to bet on the rest to make up for these 2 players.
!thanks
I do feel like the stronger players are worth shoe-horning in by almost any means. I've tinkered with depth and I'd rather bank on potential consistent returns via premiums as well as price rises to facilitate upgrades. Middling players don't really interest me until I can see potential, form, and minutes.
Very premium heavy I'd be prepared to use an early WC with this team if things don't go as planned as your bench is very weak. There is a lot of value at 8M in Mid and at 4.5M in Def
!thanks
I don't particularly rate the 8m options in midfield and I'd rather invest in premium defenders.
I do like Dalot and Neco as defenders but I'd need to support them with premiums to have peace of mind.
I am taking a punt on Dalot atm I've watched all Unuteds preseason games and plan on watching the remaining fixtures. He has looked dangerous going forward and is linking up well with the team. Maguire as RCB may also cover his defensive liabilities.
They have good fixtures, have signed some more defenders and Marsch is more defence-focused than Bielsa. Also Meslier made the most saves of any keeper last year and usually gets a ton of bonus points if Leeds keep a clean sheet.
They have made decent signings, they had injury crisis almost whole of last season, Meslier did quite well in his first Leeds season with regards to BP and CSs, they have good early fixtures.
Currently on:
Raya Gazzaniga
TAA Cancelo James Chilwell Dalot
Salah Diaz Martinelli Bailey Andreas
Kane Jesus Archer
This should give me 12 players + Andreas, to give some cover for potential rotation, but leaves 0.5 wasted in the bench. I could just downgrade Bailey to Dasilva and get Trippier at the back, but not sure if it’s better. Thoughts?
I'm personally bit hesitant with Chelsea defence. I will probs get 1 of Chillwell/James but not double or triple up.
Bailey needs to be nailed to be worth it. Same with Martinelli although he will get decent minutes.
I'd probs downgrade Cancelo to Laporte or Chiwell/James to 4.5-5 mil defender to release funds elsewhere. There is also a chance to pick Neco Williams for 4 mil to get another 8 mil midfielder in.
Trippier is decent pick but you'd ideally need rotation defender/player for him when he plays against Liverpool and City.
Price-wise, my team is almost identical to yours! Difference is I've gone Martinelli -> Dasilva, Chilwell -> Robbo and Raya -> Ramsdale. I'm not sold on Martinelli and would rather use the money saved to go big at the back :)
Fair play! Bailey is a punt I'm willing to take at that price but I agree there's a big risk involved.
Ramsdale I prefer over Mendy as he got more saves and bonus points last year. Also I expect Arsenal's defence to be more bedded in this year, whereas Chelsea lost two CBs and their defence may not be 100% gelled at the start of the season.
I'd go B as TAA is a lock for me no matter what. 200+ points last season at 7.5m is unreal value. Bailey is a bit of a risk but worth it for Trent's output IMO. Both are in my current team!
Decent team. I would look at different GK than Mendy. He doesn't really get that many save points or BP. Unless you think Chelsea are going to keep 20+ CSs I wouldn't go for him.
Other picks are fairly template but good. Rashford being the most interesting pick. I'm personally more interested in Martial and Dalot from United cause I think their game suits ETH ball better. Not a bad punt by any means.
Mendy (Darlow)
Robertson - Chilwell-James-White (4.5m backup)
Son-Diaz-Rashford-Guimaraes (Andreas)
Kane-Darwin (Greenwood)
1M ITB so I can upgrade to TAA somewhere else. Any thoughts (except Darwin -> Jesus)?
I wouldn't triple up on Chelsea defence just yet. I'd go Darwin -> Jesus, and 4.5m backup -> N. Williams. You then have £2.5m spare to upgrade Chilwell or James -> TAA (1.5m), White -> Gabriel/Trippier (0.5m) and Mendy -> Ederson (0.5m). That's what I'd do anyway!
Rashy is a risk without knowing Man United line up (United fan) Wouldn't change yet though. Not a fan of Darwin when you could have TAA and Robbo higher ceilings IMO
I feel like if Ronaldo leaves Ten Hag will try to start the season with Rashford, Sancho and Martial. Not a fan of him either, but it's a punt I'm willing to take, because it's hard for me to believe that he will be in the same abysmal form he was in last season.
I've been toying around with a 4-5-1 following suggestions
Ederson (4.0)
TAA - Robertson - James - Cancelo - Dalot
Saka - Diaz - Neto - KDB (Andreas)
Kane (4.5 x2)
Mendy and Robbo IMO. I'd avoid Alisson as he takes up a Liverpool spot and won't get any attacking returns, and Laporte won't get too many either. Robbo on the other hand scored only 6 less points than Kane last season despite playing 700 less minutes - great value there.
Which is a better combo?
4.5 defender(tomiyasu or others) in starting 11 and colback on bench
Or
Dewsbury hall (or any better 5 mil mid) in starting 11 and neco Williams in bench.
PS: i already have Bailey on my team and thanks in advance
Which would you prefer & why?
5-3-2 with Robbo & Neto(big at the back)
Or
5-3-2 with 4.5 def + Diaz
Rest of the team: Raya / 4.0
TAA / James / Cancelo / Dias
Salah / Rashford / (Andreas) / (Dasilva)
Haaland/Jesus /(4.5)
I’m thinking that the option with Diaz gives me more flexibility if a midfielder in the 8.0 range starts off well.
Currently on 3 premiums:
Sanchez (Gazzaniga)
TAA - Laporte - James - Gabriel - Dalot
Salah - Diaz - Bailey (Pereira, Dasilva)
Kane - Haaland (Greenwood)
Of course this'll probably be changed completely by next week but I'm really grooving with it atm!
As far as threemium teams go, this is pretty good tbf. There's always gonna be some sacrifices as a result but I think bailey in your starting 11 is very risky to be honest. Could consider downgrading mount to free up some funds to upgrade his spot but that's entirely up to you. I'd bailey is nailed and finds form then you're in the money
Ok nevermind, I've just chickened out because of Jesus' ownership and Arsenal's nice fixtures! I'm gonna keep this team saved as an option if I'm feeling brave closer to GW1...
!thanks . I could also downgrade Gabriel to Tomiyasu (if he's fit for GW1) and upgrade Bailey to Neto. Will keep tabs on all of them in the next couple of weeks :)
Love Hendo.
Not sold on Cucurella as a use of funds even at his price and with a potential move to City.
Rashford also worries me. I've never liked Newcastle assets.
Your front line is fine.
He worries me. I am not sure he can get back to where he once was. And I am a lifelong United fan.
The price is appealing. But funds might be better spent elsewhere from gw1
I renewed my league that I have had for many years and I am the only person in it. The name is also pending moderation. I renewed the very first day I was allowed to. Is there anything i can do?
My friend said they are cracking down on competitions and my league was called I need some competition so it might be that. The issue is I've made the league over a number of years and it will be a hassle getting everyone's number to invite them as some are friends of friends etc. I can't really be bothered tbh if the auto renew doesnt work.
RMT:
Ederson (Gazzaniga)
TAA, Robertson, Dias, James, Tomiyasu
Salah, Foden, Neto (Andreas) (Murphy)
Kane, Jesus (Taylor)
Planning to switch Kane for Haaland after GW1.
Mahrez is a rotation risk IMO but is a great pick if nailed. If you could somehow find 1M to upgrade Pereira to Neto I think it'd be a better team or bench him for a 4.5m Defender who has a higher ceiling.
TLDR: Solid Team just offering other options.
Ederson I goal would give you Man City CS coverage I'd rather do that than leave the money on the bench. Also gives you the option to downgrade back to a 4.5m GK later in the season if you need to find money.
I like it! Not going Salah is a bit risky imo and Sancho is a differential but could absolutely pay off if Utd pull themselves together. Team does seem slightly unbalanced to me though. Relying on Pereira in your starting 11 every week is not a good plan imo.
If I were you I'd consider replacing undav with a 4.5 to upgrade your defence. Neco to Trippier for example allows you to play a very solid 442 with Tomi, Pereira and a 4.5 on the bench.
I like your team structure! My concerns would be Walker and Mahrez as they're rotation risks. If it were me I'd switch Walker to Gabriel/Trippier and Mahrez to Mount/Saka/Maddison.
I understand having Ortega since he's the backup to Ederson but it also means that you'll have 3 Man City players. So if you end up wanting to get another City player in like Haaland then you'll need to spend an extra transfer getting Ortega out (assuming you'd want to keep the other 2).
RMT please:
Mendy / 4.0
TAA / James / Trippier (Coufal) (N. Williams)
Salah / Diaz / Kulu / Mahrez (Pereira)
Jesus / C. Wilson / Martial
Maybe a bit knee jerky with Martial doing good in preseason and risky not going Haaland. I just find such great value in the 8.0 MIDs, and have options to go to Coutinho / Maddison / Mount / other City mid. Could also downgrade Mendy to 4.5 and upgrade a player.

Better to have Jesus & haaland up front with neco and Laporte at the back or haaland and awoniyi up front with Laporte & Reece James at back?
A or B? A: Mendy, Trippier, Coutinho vs B: Sanchez, Tomiyasu, Mount Coutinho could be transferred out for Rashford If United start well.
Mendy had some of the worst stats among all goalkeepers in the second part of the season, I don't think people really noticed how poor he was. They have a solid defence so if you want a Chelsea asset in defence one of their wingbacks is much better. Coutinho as well had a poor end to the season and is a big risk for that prize.
!thanks. I am on B, but saw someone else's team differing from mine in these 3 players. You've put up some good points here.
Depends on your game plan. Coutinho has great GW1-4 fixtures, and horrible GW5-8.
Any nailed 5.0 midfielder? (Fingers crossed)
Bailey probably
Rice is a good shout
Dewsbury-Hall maybe? You also have players like Rice, but no good for fpl At that price probably better at just going for a 4.5m
Rashford, Martinelli, Trippier/Cash Or Saka, Bailey, £4.5m defender (Ait Nouri? Dunk? Leicester fullback? Botman?)
If all are nailed then A, but not sure about Rashford and Martinelli's minutes. Bailey has done well in preseason and could start every game in the beginning, something to keep an eye on and should be clearer s GW1 approaches. 4.5 could be Tomiyasu or the ones you mentioned.
Cancelo + 4.5 gk Or Dias + ederson?
Thoughts on Kyle Walker? Will he be a regular now that Zinchenko have transferred to Arsenal?
They will bring inn a replacement. Cucurella might be a better pick if city gets him.

In my view Raya+Sanchez is a decent combination for fixtures. Meslier+Henderson/Pickford/Raya is also decent.
Pedro Neto alternatives? Even at 5.5 his past stats don't seem very convincing
If you can find a mill somewhere Ødegaard is a good punt.
!thanks what do you think about Martinelli? Haven’t followed Arsenal in preseason
Fornals could be good, Ramsey has nice fixtures
How likely is Bailey to play the first 8 or so gameweeks? Is he rotated much?

Who is you 4.5m DEF pick focusing on the first 8 weeks?
Looking at Tomiyasu, Dunk and Mings (shorter term).
Tomiyasu, Dalot, Dunk in that order. If Tomiyasu isn't fit for GW1 I'm going to take a punt on Dalot as he could get some nice attacking returns.
Dalot
A. Luis Diaz / Dalot B. TAA / Bailey (looks to be an A-team starting forward for Villa now)
TAA always. However I have all 4 players you have here
I'd go B as TAA is a lock for me no matter what. 200+ points last season at 7.5m is unreal value. Bailey is a bit of a risk but worth it for Trent's output IMO. Both are in my current team!
!thanks

Doesn’t this leave you with .5 itb? I’ve gone Raya & Dias over Mendy & Trippier. 4.5 will be Tomi or Dalot.
Decent team. I would look at different GK than Mendy. He doesn't really get that many save points or BP. Unless you think Chelsea are going to keep 20+ CSs I wouldn't go for him. Other picks are fairly template but good. Rashford being the most interesting pick. I'm personally more interested in Martial and Dalot from United cause I think their game suits ETH ball better. Not a bad punt by any means.
Solid Team IMO
Mendy (Darlow) Robertson - Chilwell-James-White (4.5m backup) Son-Diaz-Rashford-Guimaraes (Andreas) Kane-Darwin (Greenwood) 1M ITB so I can upgrade to TAA somewhere else. Any thoughts (except Darwin -> Jesus)?
Robbo to TAA and Darwin to jesus sounds good tbh. And also triple chelsea is risky. go for other goalkeepers like pope, raya, sanchez etc?
I wouldn't triple up on Chelsea defence just yet. I'd go Darwin -> Jesus, and 4.5m backup -> N. Williams. You then have £2.5m spare to upgrade Chilwell or James -> TAA (1.5m), White -> Gabriel/Trippier (0.5m) and Mendy -> Ederson (0.5m). That's what I'd do anyway!
!thanks
Rashy is a risk without knowing Man United line up (United fan) Wouldn't change yet though. Not a fan of Darwin when you could have TAA and Robbo higher ceilings IMO
I feel like if Ronaldo leaves Ten Hag will try to start the season with Rashford, Sancho and Martial. Not a fan of him either, but it's a punt I'm willing to take, because it's hard for me to believe that he will be in the same abysmal form he was in last season.
I've gone for Sancho personally but it's a cointoss. If Rashy is nailed then he is a steal for 6.5M
RMT Mendy TAA / Cancelo / Tomiyasu / Trippier Mahrez / Salah / Diaz / Neto Haaland / Jesus Forster.Andres.Patterson.Greenwood
Like it. I’m doubting mendy at this point, maybe a 4.5 or Ederson will serve you better. Also Tomi may not be in shape to start
!thanks
Nice team! I'd personally go Mahrez -> Mount/Maddison as Mahrez is a rotation risk but fine other than that!
!thanks
What's the situation with Ayoze Perez (LEI)? He's only 28, costs 5m, and had some great seasons a couple years ago.
minutes not sure though
Who plays ahead of him?
Mendy + Robbo Alisson + Laporte Have my draft almost set, which has more point potential?
Alisson is a waste of a LPool spot, is it possible to go Ederson and Robbo?
!thanks - I am going to try this and see if I can make it work
Feel free to post your full squad if you want suggestions!
I've been toying around with a 4-5-1 following suggestions Ederson (4.0) TAA - Robertson - James - Cancelo - Dalot Saka - Diaz - Neto - KDB (Andreas) Kane (4.5 x2)
Mendy and Robbo IMO. I'd avoid Alisson as he takes up a Liverpool spot and won't get any attacking returns, and Laporte won't get too many either. Robbo on the other hand scored only 6 less points than Kane last season despite playing 700 less minutes - great value there.
!thanks - Yeah, when you put it like that, it does seem to be the better option.
Foden and Haaland or Son and Jesus?
B
Son and Jesus IMO
Without seeing the rest of your team Son and Jesus
RMT Raya / 4.0m TAA / Cancelo / James / Dalot Salah / Diaz / Sancho / Martinelli Halaand / C.Wilson N.Williams - Pereira - Greenwood
Only pick I don't like is C. Wilson (Injury prone) but with 3 Wildcards this year its not a terrible pick at all
Looks great to me
Which is a better combo? 4.5 defender(tomiyasu or others) in starting 11 and colback on bench Or Dewsbury hall (or any better 5 mil mid) in starting 11 and neco Williams in bench. PS: i already have Bailey on my team and thanks in advance
Mendy (Begovic) TAA, Dias, Doherty, Dalot (N.Williams) Salah, Foden, Saka, D.Gray (Andreas) Haaland, Jesus (Mateta) Any advice?
Haven't seen anyone pick D. Gray yet can I ask your logic? Otherwise a solid team with a good bench for cheap
Which would you prefer & why? 5-3-2 with Robbo & Neto(big at the back) Or 5-3-2 with 4.5 def + Diaz Rest of the team: Raya / 4.0 TAA / James / Cancelo / Dias Salah / Rashford / (Andreas) / (Dasilva) Haaland/Jesus /(4.5) I’m thinking that the option with Diaz gives me more flexibility if a midfielder in the 8.0 range starts off well.
Pivoting is certainly important. What do you do if Rashford, Raya, James don't perform as expected?
This would be my team for 2 weeks, so after 2 weeks I’d either swap 2 or 3(-4) players. I wouldn’t swap Raya btw.
What 5.5m defender can I get so I can have cancelo aswell, it’s either James and Laporte or cancelo + 5.5m defender?!
Koulibaly could be a punt for che def spot.
5.5 is a funny price point for me on defenders. What's your full squad?
Ederson Trent, James, Laporte, trippier Saka, Bruno g, salah, Diaz Haaland, awoniyi
Difficult squad to start with IMO
RMT Raya (4.0) TAA,Laporte,James,Dalot,Tomiyasu Salah,Bailey,Son (Colback,Pereira) Haaland,Jesus (Plange)
now that is what i call a great well balanced team :)
Not bad at all. 7.5/10
RMT - https://imgur.com/a/p9IrXvc
Personally, I don't have faith in any of the front 2/3rds not named Salah.
Currently on 3 premiums: Sanchez (Gazzaniga) TAA - Laporte - James - Gabriel - Dalot Salah - Diaz - Bailey (Pereira, Dasilva) Kane - Haaland (Greenwood) Of course this'll probably be changed completely by next week but I'm really grooving with it atm!
As far as threemium teams go, this is pretty good tbf. There's always gonna be some sacrifices as a result but I think bailey in your starting 11 is very risky to be honest. Could consider downgrading mount to free up some funds to upgrade his spot but that's entirely up to you. I'd bailey is nailed and finds form then you're in the money
Ok nevermind, I've just chickened out because of Jesus' ownership and Arsenal's nice fixtures! I'm gonna keep this team saved as an option if I'm feeling brave closer to GW1...
!thanks . I could also downgrade Gabriel to Tomiyasu (if he's fit for GW1) and upgrade Bailey to Neto. Will keep tabs on all of them in the next couple of weeks :)
RMT! Henderson (4) James, TAA, Cancelo, Cucurella (N.Williams) Saka, Bruno.G, Son, Rashford (cafu) Haaland, Jesus (Undav)
Love Hendo. Not sold on Cucurella as a use of funds even at his price and with a potential move to City. Rashford also worries me. I've never liked Newcastle assets. Your front line is fine.
I see a really high ceiling with Rashy for his price. I have a feeling he will have a good season under EtH.
He worries me. I am not sure he can get back to where he once was. And I am a lifelong United fan. The price is appealing. But funds might be better spent elsewhere from gw1
It’s definitely a bit of a gamble and if he was slightly more expensive I probably wouldn’t pick him but at his price I’m willing to take the risk.
Good luck 🙂
I renewed my league that I have had for many years and I am the only person in it. The name is also pending moderation. I renewed the very first day I was allowed to. Is there anything i can do?
not sure. maybe send your league link and code to your friends and see if they can join?
My friend said they are cracking down on competitions and my league was called I need some competition so it might be that. The issue is I've made the league over a number of years and it will be a hassle getting everyone's number to invite them as some are friends of friends etc. I can't really be bothered tbh if the auto renew doesnt work.
hard luck mate :-/
Son and Jesus or Kane and Diaz? Second premium is Salah.
B
Son and Jesus. Diaz doesn't do it for me and it's a funny price point for mids.
Very tough question! I'd probably lean ever so slightly towards Kane and Diaz because of Diaz's great fixtures but either is really good!
Mount or mahrez
Mount but you should explore cheaper options.
IMO Mount as he's more nailed.
RMT: Ederson (Gazzaniga) TAA, Robertson, Dias, James, Tomiyasu Salah, Foden, Neto (Andreas) (Murphy) Kane, Jesus (Taylor) Planning to switch Kane for Haaland after GW1.
RMT - Will give proper thanks!: Raya (Balcombe) TAA - James - Dalot (Tomiyasu - Neco) Sancho - KDB - Diaz - Mahrez - Pereira Kane - Jesus (Undav)
Mahrez is a rotation risk IMO but is a great pick if nailed. If you could somehow find 1M to upgrade Pereira to Neto I think it'd be a better team or bench him for a 4.5m Defender who has a higher ceiling. TLDR: Solid Team just offering other options.
!thanks maybe I'll downgrade Undav to a 4.5 and upgrade Pereira. Bit concerned about neto since he's had a long term injury.
Ederson I goal would give you Man City CS coverage I'd rather do that than leave the money on the bench. Also gives you the option to downgrade back to a 4.5m GK later in the season if you need to find money.
I like it! Not going Salah is a bit risky imo and Sancho is a differential but could absolutely pay off if Utd pull themselves together. Team does seem slightly unbalanced to me though. Relying on Pereira in your starting 11 every week is not a good plan imo. If I were you I'd consider replacing undav with a 4.5 to upgrade your defence. Neco to Trippier for example allows you to play a very solid 442 with Tomi, Pereira and a 4.5 on the bench.
!thanks for detailed review
Raya (Matthews) TAA/James/Walker/Jonny or Dalot (Williams) Salah/Diaz or other 8m/Rashford/Mahrez (Andreas) Kane/Jesus (Archer) £0.5m ITB Any advice?
I like your team structure! My concerns would be Walker and Mahrez as they're rotation risks. If it were me I'd switch Walker to Gabriel/Trippier and Mahrez to Mount/Saka/Maddison.
!thanks
RMT Please: Ederson (Ortega) TAA, Cancelo,James,Gabriel (N.Williams) Neto,Salah, Bruno G, Diaz (Andrease) Kane, Jesus (Greenwood)
Really nice team. I'd take out Ortega as he takes up a City spot, other than that I can't really pick any holes in it!
Solid Team IMO nothing left on the bench with 2 Solid captain options.
I understand having Ortega since he's the backup to Ederson but it also means that you'll have 3 Man City players. So if you end up wanting to get another City player in like Haaland then you'll need to spend an extra transfer getting Ortega out (assuming you'd want to keep the other 2).
RMT please: Mendy / 4.0 TAA / James / Trippier (Coufal) (N. Williams) Salah / Diaz / Kulu / Mahrez (Pereira) Jesus / C. Wilson / Martial Maybe a bit knee jerky with Martial doing good in preseason and risky not going Haaland. I just find such great value in the 8.0 MIDs, and have options to go to Coutinho / Maddison / Mount / other City mid. Could also downgrade Mendy to 4.5 and upgrade a player.
