9/15 for me. As the sweet spot I like to operate in is in the 70%ish template bracket (according to Live FPL), I actually don't want it to go higher than 9. 😅
What a SUPER helpful video Holly. Thanks so much. It's making me re-think having Sangare in my mid-field. Looks like the experts preferred Winks/Bergvall for the 4.5m. Which do you prefer between them?
Good job compiling this 🔥...Very unique content, different to other FPL content I've been watching... Currently have 9 of them in my draft... and i plan to use this content as a guide throughout the season. Subscribed 👍
Precisely. Group think. Three weeks ago most online experts said Haaland was overvalued given high prices elsewhere. Yet now everyone has him. Now everyone has him. Great video. Really enjoyed it
@@HollyShand definitely. Lots have had him from the start. And probably the right call. Very interesting to see the moves as the gw1 gets closer. High risk to go without, but I will give it a try. Loved the video
I have 4players in my team; Haaland, Isak, Jota and Gvadiol. Others not in here are: Forward: Kai Havert, Midfielders; Nkunku, Garnacho, Gordon, Defenders: Trent, Burn and Raya (GK), BENCH: Rogers, Faes, Andersen, Ward
Really interesting to see what a fantastic group of FPL legends are doing and how it all comes together - alot of names i have in my draft but really beginning to question if going Haaland and Salah is the best route.....time is running out! Excellent content Holly and congrats on hitting 32k Subscribers well deserved!
My team Henderson Trent - Gvardiol - Quansah (Robinson, Barco) Diogo J - Saka - Eze - Smith Rowe (Winks) Solanke - Haaland - Isak(c) 96% team rating. My best so far
I believe I have a truly well rounded team with salah + haaland Raya Gvardiol, Munoz, quansah Salah, Jota, Eze, Smith-rowe Haaland, isak, muniz Bench: Valdermarssen, barco, robinson, winks I want to sus out Liverpool for the first 2 weeks and then I’ll bring nkunku in after a couple of weeks probably for Jota. And then get quansah out once I see konate getting subbed in. What are your thoughts?
if the FPL experts didnt have access to anyones else's team, I can tell you, that not that many would have Haaland. Which shows you that there is definately fomo going on
Cleansheets dropped sharply last season from the one prior, maybe because of the really extra extra time. I basically did that kid in the pool, skeleton dead and drowned meme on my defense. May the odds be in my favour 😂
Holly, I’m a little stuck! I’ve got Nkuku and Solanke, I don’t have enough space to fit them both in my starting team. Can you give me a rotation plan or a replacement option? I just can’t decide what to do!
Incredible work this is. Big % for Henderson. Pope is my number 1.. and isn’t in to many teams 😢am I missing something or just being to nostalgic from the old pope? Finishing off the rest of the video now!
@@HollyShand Ok thank you. That was where I was leaning. The one other thing I was debating for was do I go Joao Pedro and Gordon (or Nkunku) or Smith Rowe and Solanke?
I have trent, Gvadiol and mykolenko for defenders and for forwards is haaland isak and chris wood. I changed trent to porro and chris wood to solanke is this a good move ?
Question: in that final team reveal, who are you gonna sub in gameweek 2? We all have similar teams in GW1 and let's be real, out of your 8 attackers, you don't wanna bench any of them right? Smith-Rowe has Leicester at home, Eze and Saka are penalty takers and the rest you never wanna bench anyway. Isn't that a concern already? All of the attackers have insanely good fixtures in GW2 so it's just gonna be a pain to bench one of them.
@@HollyShand I can see why Havertz isn't there it is either positional rotation or bench rotation with Jesus but I would like to think he is mostly nailed as a striker and I prefer him to Solanke cuz we dont know how Solanke does at Spurs
I think it's a bit much. Personally in the camp of have Salah or cover with a Jota/Trent combo... still a bit of an unknown under Slot in the PL despite a solid pre-season
Murphy for ESR. Bailey for Nkunku The ESR hype is unwarranted. He’s had a nice preseason, but the guy can’t stay healthy, that’s why they sold him. Murphy has had the best preseason out of anyone Nkunku is playing for a shit team with 40 players, more than likely he’ll have a lot of minutes but who really knows with this new unproven coach. Bailey isn’t a rotation risk and is playing in a top 4 team, I think Villa’s fixtures aren’t as tough as they appear.
@@HollyShand I assume you’re talking about the Murphster instead of ESR lol good luck to us both, though we probably won’t need it as luck favors the prepared, and we’re prepared for that Murphy hall 🙌
@@HollyShand Ohhh ok, but I thought it would be a great pick as he just scored in the community shield, also going to play most of the mins as foden might miss first 2 weeks
@@HollyShand yes to Man City . Fabrizio said it's baseless . So final team for now Henderson (Flekken) Gvardiol Porro Saliba (Barco Faes) Son Odegaard Nkunku Jota (Rogers) Haaland Isak Munoz Opinion on two combinations needed 1) Solanke Bruno or Son Munoz 2) TAA Gordon or Bruno Gvardiol
Am I the only one that doesn’t see the point in spending a lot on premiums at the back? Last season if you take out the 3x Arsenal defenders, the top scoring defenders were in the low 120’s.. take in to account that clean sheets are becoming less and less frequent, plus the fact the new bonus system is tailored to benefit attackers, and now even more so I feel the money is better spent in midfield/forwards..
It's a tricky balance... got to make some compromises somewhere. But while there's no defensive form, it's good to invest in those high upside players who can get attacking returns

i wanted to ask konate or quansah
Well done Holly 👏 This is the best video I’ve seen for those who don’t have hours to do the research.
Wow, thank you!
9/15 for me. As the sweet spot I like to operate in is in the 70%ish template bracket (according to Live FPL), I actually don't want it to go higher than 9. 😅
Ah I like this tactic
Some interesting stats in there! Thanks for this Holly 😄
You're so welcome!
What a SUPER helpful video Holly. Thanks so much. It's making me re-think having Sangare in my mid-field. Looks like the experts preferred Winks/Bergvall for the 4.5m. Which do you prefer between them?
Winks feel safest, but boring… a lot of love for Rogers at 5.0 if you’ve got the spare funds
Excellent vid - super useful
Thanks Gianni! Appreciate you dropping your selection in, we are actually very similar now...
Hi Holly, great video! I have 11 in my draft squad, taking a punt on Bobb in place of ESR can't wait for the season to start x
Ah nice one, good work Mike!
Great video, superb graphics! I got the same front three, the shortlist is very helpful!
Good job compiling this 🔥...Very unique content, different to other FPL content I've been watching... Currently have 9 of them in my draft... and i plan to use this content as a guide throughout the season. Subscribed 👍
Thanks, glad you like it! Cheers for supporting
Good stuff, Holly! All my guys are on that chart. Just need to fine tune which 2 4.5 defenders I'll choose.
Pefect, I'm on the defender stage too... tricky
Is Joao Pedro worth having with Haaland and Isak up front?
I think if you don't go Solanke, play the form with Joao Pedro. Big potential at a low price point
@@HollyShand thanks Holly
No problem!
It’s so funny how these experts change their minds literally everyday. Jumping on the next bandwagon 🥱🥱
Precisely. Group think. Three weeks ago most online experts said Haaland was overvalued given high prices elsewhere. Yet now everyone has him. Now everyone has him. Great video. Really enjoyed it
Information is key
I’ve had Haaland all pre season to be fair but a massive swing
@@HollyShand definitely. Lots have had him from the start. And probably the right call. Very interesting to see the moves as the gw1 gets closer. High risk to go without, but I will give it a try. Loved the video
I think I've had every player in the FPL in my team at one point.. Would laugh if Haaland, Salah and isaak all got red cards in the first game..
Finally it's back was missing the expert video, have 7/15 players in my team. Nkunku and other CHE assets are on hold, rest of the team looks solid 💪🏻
I agree with Chelsea, glad you've enjoyed it!
I have 4players in my team; Haaland, Isak, Jota and Gvadiol. Others not in here are: Forward: Kai Havert, Midfielders; Nkunku, Garnacho, Gordon, Defenders: Trent, Burn and Raya (GK), BENCH: Rogers, Faes, Andersen, Ward
A nice squad there to be fair!
i have to say these expert team videos are some of the most helpful FPL content out there, keep up the good work
I appreciate that!

Excellent content Holly and congrats on hitting 32k Subscribers well deserved!
Thanks Neil! I’ve seen some good drafts with both to be fair
This is very polished and produced, Hols 🙂
Thanks - did all myself other than the thumbnail, with the templates my wonderful editor Mark produced!
My team
Henderson
Trent - Gvardiol - Quansah (Robinson, Barco)
Diogo J - Saka - Eze - Smith Rowe (Winks)
Solanke - Haaland - Isak(c)
96% team rating.
My best so far
Very nice! My current team is basically this... but with Pope in goal and a 4.0 on the bench instead of Robinson...
@@HollyShand wow great minds think a like 😄
I believe I have a truly well rounded team with salah + haaland
Raya
Gvardiol, Munoz, quansah
Salah, Jota, Eze, Smith-rowe
Haaland, isak, muniz
Bench: Valdermarssen, barco, robinson, winks
I want to sus out Liverpool for the first 2 weeks and then I’ll bring nkunku in after a couple of weeks probably for Jota. And then get quansah out once I see konate getting subbed in. What are your thoughts?
You’ve smashed the balance here - I’m jealous
Thanks Holly, great video too btw. Always interesting to see what the experts think!
@@FplBrah thank you, was a lot of work to put together
@@HollyShand love it!
Thanks!
Lisandro Martinez is an absolute steal for 4.5. Will be in my squad/starting lineup all season.
I prefer quansah but glad to have strengthened
@@HollyShand good pick. Licha is my favourite player so may be a little biased 😂
Big opening game
Hi Holly thank you so much for this (I need major work on my defence it looks like 😁 Have you heard the rumour about Oscar bobb breaking his leg?
Yes it looks like it's true
@@HollyShand I'm gonna have to add a midfielder to the list then as well 😆
11/15 for me with Isak as GW 1 Captain.
if the FPL experts didnt have access to anyones else's team, I can tell you, that not that many would have Haaland. Which shows you that there is definately fomo going on
He's been a lock from the start for me
Cleansheets dropped sharply last season from the one prior, maybe because of the really extra extra time. I basically did that kid in the pool, skeleton dead and drowned meme on my defense. May the odds be in my favour 😂
Ha can only get better from here
Holly, I’m a little stuck! I’ve got Nkuku and Solanke, I don’t have enough space to fit them both in my starting team. Can you give me a rotation plan or a replacement option? I just can’t decide what to do!
Just pick Solanke
I have 8 of these players. Thanks for a brilliant insight Holly
Nice - hope the others are in the shortlist
Currently debating whether to have taa, quansah and jota or quansah, jota and luis Diaz...
The rest of my team is pretty much set.
TAA, Quansah & Jota
I have 9 of this team, Isak is my captain
Super - you are on the right track!
Excellent analysis and very useful, Holly!
Glad it was helpful!
Incredible work this is.
Big % for Henderson. Pope is my number 1.. and isn’t in to many teams 😢am I missing something or just being to nostalgic from the old pope?
Finishing off the rest of the video now!
It was 50/50 among the votes for the best £5.0 GKP vs Pickford. It's Pope who is in my latest drat... thanks for contributing!
@@HollyShand thank you! And thanks for asking me
Happy to have you!
Nice one!
Great content, Holly!
Thank you 🙏
Do you think i should go with Quansah or Robinson as my 4.5 defender (I already have trent)
I'm going Quansah
@@HollyShand Ok thank you. That was where I was leaning. The one other thing I was debating for was do I go Joao Pedro and Gordon (or Nkunku) or Smith Rowe and Solanke?
Smith and Solanke
@@HollyShand Ok thank you for the quick replies. I really appreciate it 😊
With Palmer signing a 9 year deal, should we go for him as he could likely start now? Also is havertz a good differential?
Yes always a good pick is Palmer. Not sure on Havertz with Jesus competing
Nice and very important video
Thanks and welcome
I have trent, Gvadiol and mykolenko for defenders and for forwards is haaland isak and chris wood.
I changed trent to porro and chris wood to solanke is this a good move ?
It's a 50/50 - no way you can afford both Trent and Solanke?
@HollyShand I transferred trent for porro so that gave me some money to buy in solanke for Chris wood.
Nice
smith rowe or nkunku. who to start?
Smith Rowe, got to cover the early kick off
Question: in that final team reveal, who are you gonna sub in gameweek 2? We all have similar teams in GW1 and let's be real, out of your 8 attackers, you don't wanna bench any of them right? Smith-Rowe has Leicester at home, Eze and Saka are penalty takers and the rest you never wanna bench anyway. Isn't that a concern already? All of the attackers have insanely good fixtures in GW2 so it's just gonna be a pain to bench one of them.
I've no idea, I'll let the experts choose!
@@HollyShand thought you were an expert
If you can only choose one between Salah / Haaland, which one are you taking and why?
Haaland as he's more explosive
Is Fernandes a good option at 8.5?
Yes
What is your opinion on Sangare for £4.5 instead of winks?
Not a lot of love but lower ownership will avoid a price drop
surprised by the complete lack of Watkins....am I missing something? Surely he'll start for Villa this weekend?
No minutes in pre-season is a concern
Salah 42% is genuinely crazy
Really big swing
Do you reckon gakpo will start If not who do you reckon will start for Liverpool
I have 14/15 players from the shortlist in my team the only player which I have that isn't in the shortlist is Havertz.
Nice one - Havertz positioning is putting many off, he doesn't make the 10% threshold but only narrowly misses out
@@HollyShand I can see why Havertz isn't there it is either positional rotation or bench rotation with Jesus but I would like to think he is mostly nailed as a striker and I prefer him to Solanke cuz we dont know how Solanke does at Spurs
@@HollyShandI can see why Havertz isn't there because of the positional rotation and Saka is taking the spotlight for Arsenal attacj
I think he starts at 9 then moves to 8 when Jesus comes on, especially if they need a goal
I'm happier with Saka personally
Holly Shand my queen
Thank you!
Is Murphy an option for the midfielders, he’d been good in preseason?
Yes but maybe only short term
@@HollyShand I can buy Rogers in gameweek 4
Nice!
Smith Rowe is injury prone, i wouldn’t take the risk to have him
I like the first three though, hasn't played regularly enough
Holly is my only expert ❤
Ah thanks
@@HollyShand if i were to pick a player from newcastle's defense which one do you suggest me to go for?
What about Jacob Murphy of Newcastle??
Solanke may be not start game week 1
Should be fine
Do you think fulkrug could have a good season for West Ham
Yes but needs time to bed in, early fixtures are tough!
🔥
Thank you mate
Great video 7/15 make my team
Nice one Petar
8
Boom
my team rating is 97% without haaland anda just 92% if i got haaland in my team
Do you like the idea of a Liverpool triple up with Salah, Jota and Trent
I think it's a bit much. Personally in the camp of have Salah or cover with a Jota/Trent combo... still a bit of an unknown under Slot in the PL despite a solid pre-season
Would you prefer Gordon to Jota then
Yes
Amazing Work Holly ❤
Thank you. What was your biggest takeaway?
@@HollyShand Had difficulty to make team this season with all the prices now the video has made my decision more clear.
Emphasis on selecting strong differential players early in the season. Balancing premiums with these differentials to create a squad
Ah great
Exactly
When do you plan to wildcard?
Me? Early - not sure about the experts though
@@HollyShand early gw4 or early gw6? :D i will use it early definitely, and imo gw6 looks just a little better
GW4 perhaps for me, but will see how things are going
that is exactly my team but swap robison for quansah
Wow nice
Fpl experts:Salah out,Halland in.
Me:Salah captain,Halland out.
Love it, play your own game!
Murphy for ESR. Bailey for Nkunku
The ESR hype is unwarranted. He’s had a nice preseason, but the guy can’t stay healthy, that’s why they sold him.
Murphy has had the best preseason out of anyone
Nkunku is playing for a shit team with 40 players, more than likely he’ll have a lot of minutes but who really knows with this new unproven coach.
Bailey isn’t a rotation risk and is playing in a top 4 team, I think Villa’s fixtures aren’t as tough as they appear.
I can see the attraction, going with him in my team too
@@HollyShand I assume you’re talking about the Murphster instead of ESR lol good luck to us both, though we probably won’t need it as luck favors the prepared, and we’re prepared for that Murphy hall 🙌
Ha nice one, good luck
Will quansah even start?
Looks likely
Is Bernando Silva a good choice
Not on the experts radar
@@HollyShand Ohhh ok, but I thought it would be a great pick as he just scored in the community shield, also going to play most of the mins as foden might miss first 2 weeks
Yess you are right
TAA & Nkunku or Gvardiol & Gordon?
Trent!
Diaz over Jota !?
Not much love for it, Jota the advanced positioning. Did you see the Diaz transfer rumour yesterday? No smoke without fire
@@HollyShand yes to Man City . Fabrizio said it's baseless . So final team for now
Henderson (Flekken)
Gvardiol Porro Saliba (Barco Faes)
Son Odegaard Nkunku Jota (Rogers)
Haaland Isak Munoz
Opinion on two combinations needed
1) Solanke Bruno or Son Munoz
2) TAA Gordon or Bruno Gvardiol
still no good reason not to pick palmer imo, he may still be a better pick than all the mids
Limited pre season mins
Am I the only one that doesn’t see the point in spending a lot on premiums at the back? Last season if you take out the 3x Arsenal defenders, the top scoring defenders were in the low 120’s.. take in to account that clean sheets are becoming less and less frequent, plus the fact the new bonus system is tailored to benefit attackers, and now even more so I feel the money is better spent in midfield/forwards..

Will de Bruyne start
My gut says yes
His chances are increased of the departure of Juilan Alvarez
Code league hally
Minteh over ESR

I got 10 players. Thanks Holly ❤️🫡
