We haven't even signed anyone yet and we're already catching fees like strays  

Does it really matter when you guys are still going to end up spending it on someone with Nunez abilities and cry later.

Oh. Now, I think you're just being salty. Fyi, Nunez has done more and score more goals than Lukaku and Mudryk combined has scored for Chelsea. Nunez isn't the best forward (yet) but he has plenty of room to grow. He might do that under Slot.

No different between Benteke and Halaand without KDB- he's been poor off the ball yet again.

Haaland performs well when he gets spoofed so much that he is spoiled with plenty of good balls. So far in City, only KDB and maybe Foden sometimes have been able to feed him just enough ball. City's midfield was literally dead that second half albeit a few Kovacic breakout moments.  So almost zero supply to Haaland.

Haaland just needs good supply and only KDB provides that.

More starts than Lukaku and mudrik combined - shouldn't you be comparing him to Palmer and Jackson? Not Lukaku who left 3 years ago..

Klopp couldn't do, Slot has no chance...

Fabio Carvalho is going to Brentford on a permanent deal. He's going to be very interesting FPL-wise as a 5.0m MID. Could be a great enabler.

Yep, definitely one to consider. Brentford has enough competition on the left flank but he should get enough minutes centrally (and possibly on the right flank too).

£20m + add ons and 17.5% sell on clause is a good business for someone who's never going to make the 1st team. Diaz and Gakpo are not healthy competition for him. Good business

Agreed, but would have liked to loan him for 1 more season and sell him afterwards. The kid can play.

£20m + adds on and sell on clause contract on the table for someone you bought 2 seasons ago for 7m is good enough, sending him back on loan is a huge gamble, could turn out bad or good and that's the situation the club is trying to avoid.

Remember how we missed out on Bayern £60m bid for CHO few seasons ago? We sold him way too cheaper 2 years later after trying to gamble the whole situation.

I think I would have fancied his chance with Liverpool in a year or two as well, he could be play multiple options and unlike Klopp, Slot could be tactical playing players out of position when the needs arise, and looking at Liverpool injuries woes for last season, what makes them think they're immune for this year ?

I think it is always better for young player to play in mid table team than to get scraps in top level team. It isn't just game time, it is media, expectations and all that combined. When you make a mistake in top level PL club you are getting a lot of bad press and young players have problems dealing with that. Almost equally bad is if they are good and media hype them out of proportion. That is just not healthy and messes with their heads.

Onana is a clown 

Someone needs to tell him to stop clowning, the season has not started yet and he has made a mess of himself twice on penalties.

Haaland performs well when he gets spoofed so much that he is spoiled with plenty of good balls. So far in City, only KDB and maybe Foden sometimes have been able to feed him just enough ball. City's midfield was literally dead that second half albeit a few Kovacic breakout moments.  So almost zero supply to Haaland.

Haaland just needs good supply and only KDB provides that.

One Manchester City player who I know will turn up this season is Oscar Bob. He will score many goals and assist for Manchester City, and Haaland in the absence of KDB will benefit from him and his quick feet.

Oscar may not still be suitable for FPL team because of Pep's rotation. His role will be heavily rotated with another player.

I missed most of City's preseason game but I can tell that in this Community shield game, Oscar Bob didn't really perform aside from his late assist to Bernardo Silva but it's worth noting that the entire City team was just terrible. Oscar bob delayed City's counter on many occasions because he was holding the ball too long before giving in a pass and once he sees defenders ahead, he just makes a U-turn and pass to a CM or Defender. Couldn't take on anybody on that right side.

I won't get him on my FPL because he'd hardly be a regular like you said.

Oscar Bobb will probably start GW1 in Foden's absence and then be benched for the rest of the season. Avoid him!

City always rotates and I am expecting Bobb to have good minutes first few GWs. Still not gonna get him since that is just booking transfer for later but if I went with the early wildcard tactic I would take him 100%.

Liverpool is the team where some good points will be made or lost. Still not sure where to go there.

[Rruchi man]

He will not have enough game time because of Foden, but he will not be benched the whole season because he really impressed in the preseason. Pep will most likely turn him into an impact sub.

In between, do you guys think that Grealish will be able to claim his position from Doku when he returns fully?

[NotATether]

There is a reason why Grealish was dumped from the Euros squad.

I think he's going to stay on the bench with Kalvin Phillips, if he isn't loaned to Villa first.

That being said, I wouldn't advise getting Grealish or Doku in anybody's team.

If you want to cover Ipswich GW2 then it should be with Haaland + Gvardiol.

No, Grealish was not fit for the Euros, and nobody cares whether Southgate calls or not; he has his own favourites and doesn't care if they perform well at club level. Doku is good, but he's raw and inconsistent. Grealish is a big game player and an important part of the team; he'll always take the LW spot once he's fit to play, no doubt about it.

[darxiaomi]

I have to build ye team, but i think im gonna do that on the wednesday or something like that much more closer to the deadline, i dont want to suffer again putting a player who departure in the last minute (is gonna happen again no matter what  ).

[cryptofrka]

I like Doku as a pick. He should get more minutes than last season, he's their main 1v1 isolation player and his price is affordable for a guy that will be getting a lot of minutes for City.
Grealish is a bad pick but I don't think that anybody is actually considering him at this moment.

Some news circulating that Diaz might be on his way out of Liverpool. Would make my pick a bit easier

His been Peps knight in shining amour in the preseason games, enough to earn him substitute positions but not enough to be a first team player with Pep. Manchester City have got way much to rely on than the likes of Bobb and wouldn’t make a good asset worth keeping except for full ups but, the 3man per team wouldn’t help much should you be looking to have some Manchester City quality in your ranks.

I have just sent the payment to the escrow address. Frankly, I didn't work on my fantasy squad yet as I didn't think I would be able to join again this year. However as there is still a lot of time until the weekend, I don't think this would be a problem. Thanks icopress for the reminder. After my successful performance in the last season I want to become champions a lot this year. But I'm aware that my job is very difficult.

[slaman29]

Hey everyone and thank you so much to @icopress for inviting me to this competition. However, I don't think I will join this. Firstly because I have no idea how it works, and its so few days left to the start that I don't think I will learn in time.

Never played Fantasy so always bypassed this thread but now I see there are so many familiar faces. I will spend this season to see and learn, but I don't think I will play for now.

See you next season hopefully

Hey mate. I accept that fantasy is a little different from the other games. However I finished in the 3rd place last season even though it was only my 2nd season. I think that I'm going to be champion this year as well by getting past Trofo. Therefore if you do some research I'm sure that you can also build a nice squad.

So I recommend you to rethink about it. See you next season at worst.

Really, I see some potential for side bet here You know what to do in case you want to put some money where your mouth is.


My first draft is done and I don't like it one bit, gonna drop either Salah or Haaland tomorrow and try again.
