Definitely recommend solanke now, fab and ornstein have said we're getting him and he fits our system like a glove. Can see him getting 20+ this season, or maybe that's just my spurs bias. Still an underrated option at £7.5
Not sure he'll start GW1 is the annoying thing. Obviously matchfit, and I know Ange has said in the past just to give players a go... but I can see Solanke coming on 60mins gw1. I reckon Kulu as false 9 first game
100%, just made a team built around him which has 96% on ff hub with 0.5 left in the bank. Couldn't quite fit in Trent but have Raya for the Arsenal defender with Robertson so could easily drop to 2 4.5 GKs if need be
Excellent compilation. One thing i’m uncertain of, is Guardiol truly nailed on for minutes? He had an excellent finish to the year but Pep is notorious for shaking up his squad at the back.
As a city fan he isn’t nailed however he’s definitely gonna start the first 2 games then from there it’s anyone’s guess. I do think that he will play the most minutes for our defenders tho.
Nottingham forest defence Williams or aina surprised me they are not being picked much especially with barco so popular as they rotate quite well and are both quite attacking if forest keep the formation from last year. I've got Williams and barco atm but might swap to aina
Only place I'm hearing these rumours about Mykolenko leaving is from FPL videos. As an Evertonian, there are no rumours I've seen about him leaving and we have little cover at left back so I'd be very surprised
agreed, fellow evertonian here. myko isn't leaving unless an offer absolutely blows us away, and we're under no pressure to sell now. he's 100% nailed as long as he's healthy, which he looks to be.
Please explain how Solanke's joining Spurs diminishes Son as a pick. In my opinion it enhances Son's attractions. Remember how good Son was with Harry Kane?
Flekken , mykolenko , trent , Gvardiol Eze , Gordon , saka , nkunku Haaland , isak, muniz Vladimarson , Rodgers, barco, Anderson Means I cover arsenal , city , Chelsea and Liverpool and the defenders rotate nicely … potential could bring in a forest defender or a Newcastle defender when we get more news
This is very useful thank you, and reassuring as i have many of these! By my reckoning people who have Saka / Watkins / Havertz will mostly be missing Salah or Haaland. My plan is to start with S/H and then downgrade one when someone else - Saka, Palmer, Son etc - start firing. I reckon S/H is too limiting, if someone like Cole Palmer goes on a rampage there's no way to get him in.
I’m thinking about covering the 7.5 bracket for third striker now. If Solanke moves or Darwin pops off , everyone’s breaking their teams. My current 343 has a 7.5 as third spot and I quite like it.
What a great video! The 99% rating really goes to show that we shouldn’t be viewing “template” as a dirty word like you said. The most highly owned players are highly owned for a reason!
6 players from template team My team: Gk -Sels and 4.0 m Def- mykolenko, robinson , porro , lewis hall , barco Mids- eze, gordon , salah , son and saka Att- isak , havertz and 4.5 m And i have 0.5 m in the bank
This is highly informative! Thank you Ross! I was thinking that I created a great team yesterday but it seems that almost all players are super highly owned 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Rate this haaland + Salah draft: Raya Gvardiol, Virgil, Munoz Salah, Eze, Nkunku, minteh (or any other 5.5 or less but idk who) Haaland, isak, Muniz Bench: valdermarssen, barco, winks, Harwood-B My only issue is the 5.5 mid, I need one that’s nailed, was thinking andreas but idk, any suggestions? And also is Rogers nailed for villa?
I look at it like you need to get as many players who each scored 175+ points last season to start with within budget. This template has 3 players that scored 175+ points last season. My team has 9 💪
12 / 15 .......Got 4.0 in goal, Faer for Myk and Bailey for rogers.- weak bench I know - rotating the 4.0 defenders to squeeze Bailey in....I think its worth it
You could go for broke and replace one of the goalie with a 4mil keeper that won't play. or do a Flekken and his No.2 for cover. Then you can upgrade Winks to Bobb or Amad, The problem is of course you can't rotate the keeper. I got a similar team but no TAA and instead, Hevertz instead of Muniz, and Pedtro Porro instead of TAA.
19:23 if you gamble with Jota over Salah, Winks can come all the way up to Odegaard. The collective points with Rogers on the bench would probably be higher, even with Jota rotation (barring injuries!)
He's in my team. I spoke to a liv fan...he says its Konate's spot to lose. But the way I see it.. Konate been playing in VVD's position and hasn't started most games preseason. Quansah was played on the RCB nearly all preseason. He can play out better than Konate. So.... I'm going for him
now that ive removed watkins for solanke, I can afford salah. I've replaced salah, watkins and johnson for salah, solanke and nkunku. for the first time, I'm satisfied with my draft
What do you think about downgrading Trent to Porro and then having the funds to upgrade winks to a 5.5 and Henderson to Raya while having a 4 mil keeper on the bench
Arsenal fan here but I think doubles an avoid. Our fixtures absolutely suck until at least gameweek 7 onwards, I’m looking to get to triple Arsenal as soon as possible but I think we’ll have a lot of 2-1 sort of games to start the season against tough opposition before we start to rack up points. 😊
@@Max-fs9py thanks for you opinion. I don’t hate the fixtures personally, and I just don’t like many other defenders. I also think I’ll hold on to them for the majority of the season so I fancy going early while not many people have them.
So when FPL launched I had a fine idea about what my team would look like going into the season. I'd be picking players I like and who I expect to do well this season. It was all rainbows and unicorns. But then I started watching content creators (you, Andy and the Focal guy) and I listened to all the points, pros and cons, changes, prospects, preseason results and decided which position I'd take on each of them. I ended up putting Salah in there and not getting Haaland. I was quite certain about Rogers, Gvardiol, Trent and Saliba. Then I watched more content and now the ONLY certainty is Isak and I am switching back and forth between Haaland only, Salah only and HaalandxSalah drafts and it's making me absolutely crazy. AAAAAH!!! Send help! Oh btw, what happened to ESR, CHO and Gibbs-White....
Who I want to play are objectively bad FPL picks for the upcoming gameweeks unless they beat all odds and surprise everyone. If I solely pick players I really want, my starting 11 would be Areola, Robertson, Gvardiol, Saliba, Palmer, Saka, Odegaard, Luis Diaz, Fullkrug, Watkins and Isak. We can all agree that would be absolutely terrible.
Nice video! Wouldn't it make more sense in a 3-4-3 to have 0.5M in the bank and have a 4.5M mid as the 5th mid. This would mean you can hop on a potential 5.0M mid bandwagon and if none of them perform then you can use the 0.5M elsewhere later in the starting 11 and be more efficient with distribution of funds.
@@FPLRaptor If you get the wrong 5.0M you could have the same issue but yes you're right, either way one of 5.0M mids is unlikely to kill rank too much as Cole Palmers don't grow on trees
Have a bit of fun mate, bet on yourself. No joy in just sticking with the templates, makes FPL a lot more fun getting away from it when it makes sense to
I enjoy your content and respect for the work you put into it, but it made me chuckle when you you’re surprised to see high ownerships of players you also like. This process full of feedback loops. Of course the players you talk about the most will be highly owned by your viewers.
@@FPLRaptor I'm on Darwin and I know it could hurt. But his high ceiling is so tempting!😭 Would love to hear more on from press conf whether either Solanke or Darwin will start GW1. It could go either way.
Is it an inside joke that you always put the fixtures up as though it's GW2? I guess I'm just not in on it 😭 I think it's hilarious that the obviously most logical back 5 (Robinson with the better rotation with Everton than Palace despite having identical fixtures in GW2/4 because of Barcos fixture in GW4) is actually the template back 5. I only have 7 from this list. Guess I'm going rouge. I think the template is very strong this year. I remember two years ago when it was obviously wrong with everybody going either Salah/Kane or Salah/Haaland, despite the very obviously best combination being Kane/Haaland (which I very successfully went and then ruined in the second half of the season), but this year it all looks strong. I know it shouldn't, but this does kind of tempt me to lock in an international break WC and triple up on Arsenal. Appreciate the effort on this one, Ross. Great video 👌
@@FPLRaptor OOOOOOOHHHH I was genuinely typing out a reply saying I've just triple checked... Then I saw it LOL I'm not even embarrassed, I just find it hilarious how many videos of yours I must've watched without seeing that there. That's genuinely made my day, that I could miss that for so long 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Raptor whats the reason valdimarsson & fabianski are such high owned keepers as they are second choice keepers who will not be played I get they're 4m but they are useless
Because both of them r the direct backups for areola and flekken so having areola and fabianski or flekken and valdiamarson ensures u have a keeper every week
Just random ones from Twitter mate. Not suggesting this is a good team or an experts chosen team, just the template on social media with managers that are usually indicative of the most engaged ones!
Every content creator bangs on about nkunku been really good in preseason 🧐 Yh in first or 2nd game they’ve been battered last 3 . They’re going into season on really bad form and the club is mess so no matter how good the fixtures u can’t get the team to win games instant turnaround
I’ll be honest, yes 😭 I’ve passed on the feedback to the team mate so I’ll update if they find a solution. There’s obviously a reason for it but I agree it’s overboard
