Hi Andy, great vid as usual...Just want to get your thoughts on my first draft: (3-4-3) Pickford/TAA+Burn+Dunk/Eze+Salah+Gordon+Palmer/Watkins+Isak+Edouard (Subs: Sanchez/Soucek (or any 5m mid)/Gusto+Taylor). Liverpool fan myself...General thinking: Get Chelsea players before the good run after GW2, really like Crystal Palace towards the end of last season...Haaland too expensive...Pls feel free to comment. Cheers!
@Let'sTalkFPL Andy you have no city attackers in your draft! Are you really going into GW1 without City attack? Is having Salah that critical? I'd wait and see on Liverpool attack
The other thing you’ve got to build in with city players is PRR (Pep’s random rotations). KDB’s just turned 33, there’s no way he’s playing every week in any team and this could be the season that his minutes when available really drops
I know it’s hard to work with hypotheticals but if Toney gets a move to a bigger club doesn’t he suddenly come a great value option? He’s been linked with a move away for ages
Don't forget, much of Matata's great form only came in the final third of the season. Palace had been abysmal and heading for the relegation zone when Glasner arrived in mid-February, after which their form immediately improved. In fact, Glasner's impact was incredible. Within weeks of his arrival, Palace went from lethargic and failing to energetic and dangerous - and they pretty much maintained that until the end of the season. Higer profile teams looking for a better manager missed an opportunity with Glasner, and if Palace continue last season's form, they will come around looking to lure him away. The point is there's every reason to expect Mateta will improve on last season. And given this is Glasner's first full pre-season, Palace offer great potential for low cost + high reward FPL players.
@@voquangminhnguyen3193 he didn't, but he still trained every day and was away from his family. There is a good chance he won't be ready to play the first game
I'm not sure I fully agree about Porro. First two fixtures are good and if you look at the balance, you're basically saying they have 3 really good fixtures out of 6 (LEI away, EVE home, BRE home), plus a home derby. Is it the best fixture run in the league, of course not, but for a team that was extremely attacking last year I do favour having a few Spurs assets at the start and pivoting away after two games if they don't look good. I do favour Udogie (if he seems nailed) over Porro though, but I don't see why Porro isn't a good pick.
I dont have Watkins at the minute and im absolutely terrified he will l destroy my rank but it seems like he had a freak season his XG was outperformed slightly but i agree with you andy that he cant replicate those assists. If he takes the penalties though i will almost certainly get him

Can’t wait to see Andy eat his own words when Watkins gets a brace in the first two games 😂 I thought with Douglas Luiz leaving there’s a chance he takes pens!
I have Porro as a place holder for a Chelsea defender in GW 3. Reece James when he comes back from suspension or Cucurella if he impresses in the first two game weeks.
The raising price of halaand is pointless. If u want him you'll have him and just do a slight change in ur team. He's template and changing his price won't change that. The few that do change will put him him anyways if he starts scoring. Thus making it even more pointless
@@warrenbrooks1881 Yeah both are good. My current plan is to start with Wood and move to Pedro in GW4. But Muniz is also a very good option, I agree with you.
Eze a player you seem to like at the minute yet Mateta is an avoid? Mateta was in better form end of last season, surely pens isn't enough to swing all that way......
@@annonimouse170 yes, injuries! Without good rest and doing a lot of physical trainings Saka could be all season injured. You can see Pedri after one season with 91 matches in row
Way to early to think about a draft you just don’t know what’s happening in the transfer window and what the structure of some teams will be with Transfers in and out going! I’ll wait Two Days before the season starts!!
Although Arsenal kept the most CS's, I think with the new changes to the BPS rewarding defenders with shots on target, players like Gvardiol, Porro, and TAA are looking like better options to some due to the attacking returns via BPS changes. I could be wrong though.
Without Olise , everything rests on Eze to provide Mateta . Eze is the most dangerous and if somehow, each team overloads him with a 2 man marking , Mateta ain't getting any balls through him
Also one of emi Martinez or pickford will be a waste on the bench easily and that too both being 5m+. Would rather go for both aston villa or both everton or Onana/Raya and Sanchez goalkeeper combination
Andy you're mental. It's obviously not your actual team but your first draft you've got Armstrong on your team and telling people to avoid Watkins so you can fit in TAA 😅
This five transfers a week thing, if I have that right is stupid. All it does is make tactical knowledge of players, form and opposition less useful, it's just gonna end up whoever has the team that most changed to certain permutations the most who end up doing best. What's the point of it even being about footballers or the fame? It may as well end up being random numbers or colours
It's not 5 free transfers a week. It's still 1 free transfer a week, but this season when you don't use that transfer it carries over to a maximum of 5 instead of the previous 2 max.
Andy please stop saying “again, all the links are down below if you wanna check it out” WE KNOW! You are just downgrading the quality of your videos by mentioning FFH again and again and again. I know you gotta make money but you can just mention it at the start of the video and not bother again.
You are wrong about watkins I think, Luiz is gone so he will be on penalties this season his 19 goals last season he never took a single penalty, so expect another 5 or 6 goals minimum with the amount of touches villa players have in the box.
If you want to put some numbers to your Watkins won’t take penalties theory there is a reason he doesn’t take them. 11 penalties taken in his professional career and he has missed 5 of them!
I feel Haaland is to expensive. Well I want him to be an avoid for the sake of the game. I will not play another season where he is auto cap, so boring😂
@@axels9179I wouldn’t worry about his penalties just the fact he’s on them makes him worth it. I don’t understand why Andy says he can’t get them assists again that’s what’s best about him if he doesn’t score he can still return
@@jackcombes42 Again, it's unlikely he'll get penalites with such a poor conversion rate (about 55%). If he does it's obviously a boon, but currently we probably should consider they keep their internal ranking from last season, and that means McGinn gets bumped from 2nd to 1st choice. Pre-season and/or press conferences could tell us more. Andy just points out that while Watkins got 18 assists last season, he only put up about 4 xA, those numbers tell us it's highly unlikely he'll manage anything close. Even when you take out pure fpl-assists he massively overperfomed with 13 assists to 4 xA, so it's more like looklng at a normally very good season for Watkins is 18-21 goals and 4-6 assists.
@@haydendulake7899 Yeah, but they are professional athletes with the best possible staff, equipment and facilities for recovery and fitness.
