Wow thanks so much Craig! This is my first ever super comment. Thanks for being the first and for the support mate. Glad you noticed the pop shield too haha.
Think Trippier is a good option tbh. Especially with Neco having Everton in gw3 and Pereira having Brighton in gw5 when Trippier has City in gw3 and Liverpool in gw5.
@@matthewzadrov6141 good or bad? I’m assuming you are saying he is a bad choice lol. Yes his fixtures are tough but after the opening 5 his fixtures get really good. You can navigate around the tough fixtures with good bench options. He is worth it in my opinion, on every set piece can’t go wrong.
@@skngnr yeah it is risky. i've managed to go strong on defence whilst having diaz. here's my draft if you want to take some inspiration from it :) Ederson Cancelo Gabriel Trent Neto Martinelli Salah Luis Díaz Jesus Kane SUBS: Hennessey, Neco, Pereira (Andreas), Plange
Very useful thanks Oscar. Having you UA-cam guys doing all the research is such a time saver for me, I can put in minimal time into the game and max time into work and family
Looking forward to your updated draft tomorrow oscar, this is definitely the season that I’m switched on the most with my best rank being only just within the top 350k in the 17/18 season, which was my 2nd in fpl, and I have to say this is the channel I will be keeping my eye on the most
Good stuff, Oscar! Keep it up buddy! I'm currently sat on Mahrez too - the charity shield will hopefully tell us more. I'm also leaning towards Robertson as my third Liverpool player, but that means Cancelo or a Chelsea FB miss out.
Making a tier list and deciding who is best to worst and trying to get as many of the highest featuring players in the team makes team selection much easier
Thanks mate. Yeah this is as much as I could narrow it down haha, there's about 500 players in the game. Gonna be even harder nailing down that final 15
J. Lingard, N.Williams and B. Johnson at Forest are going to be great budget finds. Almost guaranteed to start every match and no European matches midweek to worry about..
Why didn't you add Matty Cash in the defence section? Aston Villa has decent fixtures with strong forwards, will definitely help the defenders to acquire more points. Or is there something I am unaware about?
I have watched a ton of pre-season FPL videos but I think this has been the best one so far. Informative, thought-provoking and most importantly simple! Keep it up, Oscar. :D
I'm on kane now instead of haaland, city notoriously take a good few weeks to kick in to gear and the same could be said for kane but with conte in charge I think he'll be raring to go
I'm currently at kane > haaland kane is prem proven good opening fixture and I'm almost certain haaland will pick up lots of injuries this season considering his record and a much more physical league
this is very similar to my own watchlist, but I've played around with some other players on top of these, although unlikely I'll pick them for the first round.
I am currently on Haaland over kane. Reason is I have SON over salah. And don’t want my 2 premiums to be on the same team for captain matchups. I also don’t want to build in a transfer right away to week 2. Week 1 kane is the pick. Week 2 Haaland is the pick
Think saliba is a shout considering it’s an arsenal defender for 4.5M n based on pre season it looks like he’s going to start a lot especially considering the tomiyasu injury
Thanks for another great video. Your graphics and way you put up your videos and with talk around it is top class Oscar, so thanks 👍 But did you forget SON? Keep up the good job 🥇 Oscar 🥇
Hi mate, just wanted to let you know that some of the fixtures are off for some of the players! Believe it's the case for TAA, Cancelo, as well as some other players!
What about Kulusevski? Massivly underrated, and he is overlooked because people is worried about playtime after richarlison coming in. Imo he will for sure be a regurly starter, and richarlison will be rotating not only with him, but also kane and son at end of games.
community shield should show us some insight into the city side. That way we will know about whether to buy Mahrez or Grealish. For the first 5 we have to get as many City assets as possible. Their fixtures are too good.
What do you think of Nottm Forest strikers Johnson and Awoniyi? Johnson takes all set pieces which is very tempting same as Ward Prowse Their fixtures are difficult for now but maybe later on?
I am definitely on Kane over Haaland. Haaland isn’t proven and his only goal is against a team he’s played loads of times, from the league that plays looser at the back. Here is the real reason: if he does not have a brace and Kane plays well, or if Haaland goes off (or comes on) at 60, hundreds of thousands will drop him and pick up Kane. His value will drop .1 or maybe .2. Kane has lower ownership so dropping in value is less risky, but he could increase if the Haaland bandwagon is knee jerked. There is no chance that Haaland will increase in value regardless of results.
I’d rather Gabriel for the same price. Mendy’s appealing since there’s no nailed Chelsea 5.0 def, and no nailed City 5.5 def which is why I like Ederson. Just my thinking there
@@FPLFocal I personally feel Chelsea's defence is a trap this season, or at least the beginning of it. Half the CBs left, Thiago Silva's getting old, there's only one new replacement who will have to gel in, James might end up playing RCB instead of RWB if Azpi leaves (still have Reece though) and Chilwell has just recovered from a season-long injury and we don't realistically know if he'll be able to replicate his results. Fixtures are good, but I can see them losing a couple of goals. But that's just my opinion and as a Chelsea fan I'd love to be proven wrong.
Really helpful thank you. Any thoughts on starting Cucurella? Could be a problem if he moves to Man City and what would happen if you already have three of their players which I would?
Such a fucking dilemma. You take him out, your team is strong in every position. But if he goes off, and he’s apparently looking sharp in pre-season then you risk having to catch up early. I think you bring him in and see how lpool start the season because you will not be that far behind the pack if it looks like the lpool midfield aren’t creating as much as previous seasons
No Vardy, Maddison or Barnes? Not having 1 player from the 4th best attack last season with all having a good pre season scares me. Particularly Maddison, where you can target those first 3 fixtures and then move on to someone like Saka.
I prefer a few other 8m mids ahead of Maddison but he could certainly start well. I prefer Rashford/Martinelli/Grealish etc over Barnes too. Leicester are doing well in pre-season though, could throw up a few surprises
@@FPLFocal That's fair on Madders. I do think Barnes is overlooked though. He is running at Right Backs more directly than ever in pre season, and I would say is a safer and more minutes / talisman pick over those others. That being said I do have Martial, Martinelli and a City triple up else where so it's about team structure. Great Vid as always.
How dumb would it be not to include James in my team? Instead, I'd then rotate Neco Wiliams, a 4.5m defender (Jonny?) and Andreas Pereira for my 11th slot. That'd free up an extra 1.5m to spend on my midfield.
Thanks
For the pop-shield, sounds great. Happy to contribute but not a fan of recurring payment. Keep up the good work
Wow thanks so much Craig! This is my first ever super comment. Thanks for being the first and for the support mate. Glad you noticed the pop shield too haha.
hey bro I hugely love your bedtime chill music, amazing picks
@@KalmaxOrion Glad you like. Have nodded off to it a few times
Think Trippier is a good option tbh. Especially with Neco having Everton in gw3 and Pereira having Brighton in gw5 when Trippier has City in gw3 and Liverpool in gw5.
You could even go for Patterson over Neco if you like, his fixtures align really well with Trippier's
Tripper? Lol oh man.

@@raf7305 fixtures don't even matter for set piece takers. Could get returns against anyone
I agree, i had him for a Long time, but now i cant resist Zinchenko in his place
7 Days to go!
Hope this was a useful format to understand. My updated draft will follow tomorrow, hit subscribe for that. 👊
I tried to go strong on defence but I'm confused rn. Is it a bad idea to miss out on 8m mid?
@@skngnr yeah it is risky. i've managed to go strong on defence whilst having diaz. here's my draft if you want to take some inspiration from it :)

Best pre-season video yet, Current draft is backing grealish and tripling up on arsenal, with Jesus, saka and zinchenko
Good stuff, Oscar! Keep it up buddy! I'm currently sat on Mahrez too - the charity shield will hopefully tell us more. I'm also leaning towards Robertson as my third Liverpool player, but that means Cancelo or a Chelsea FB miss out.
Good video pretty much exactly same list as I have. Deciding where to make sacrifices will be key. Should know more after final games this weekend
Spot on , Oscar. Superb idea AGAIN. Well done mate .
Thanks Ash 👊
Loving the content at the moment 👍👍
Great content as usual 🙌🏽…waiting to see your updated draft team. 7 days to go🥶
amazing content, loving it ... side note, your voice is so clean
Thanks Dylan!
Making a tier list and deciding who is best to worst and trying to get as many of the highest featuring players in the team makes team selection much easier
Great video and picks :)
I’m thinking of having Trippier and Guehi as they rotate nicely aswell as Robbo TAA and Cancelo
Love the graphics! Great video
Great Video Oscar.....But you missed out Sonny Boy,this season gonna be epic and getting off to a great start is key,Good Luck......Bless
What a fantastic way to represent a watchlist. It's weird visualising how many options we have to narrow down to 15!
Thanks mate. Yeah this is as much as I could narrow it down haha, there's about 500 players in the game. Gonna be even harder nailing down that final 15
J. Lingard, N.Williams and B. Johnson at Forest are going to be great budget finds. Almost guaranteed to start every match and no European matches midweek to worry about..
I feel like at this point we’re all just watching these for reassurance.
First FPL season, some great tips cheers 💪🏼
I'm on Kane. He looks like a lean mean FPL machine after Contes fitness improvements.
Thoughts on Trippier, Focal? Nailed for Newcastle, on set pieces and rotates well with Neco/Andreas over the starting gameweeks.
Why didn't you add Matty Cash in the defence section? Aston Villa has decent fixtures with strong forwards, will definitely help the defenders to acquire more points. Or is there something I am unaware about?
Love the format mate

I think you wrong about Mende, Ramsdale i think early on before 1st wildcard is better
Agreed!
100% kane + Salah as my premiums! The men are living legends of the league
Iversen has been the GK Leicester have been playing during pre season so he may play ahead of Ward.
Nice video, thanks Oscar.
Very useful video 🙏
great content oscar 👍🏼
Love your videos man
Cancelo has Liverpool’s fixtures!😂
Oops 😂 that would be a shock signing
Trippier, Malacia, Cash and Digne are worth mentioning I guess, but maybe too many defenders
Great video. I was going to start Tomiyasu but now I'm unsure wheter I should swap him with Dalot...
I'm currently at kane > haaland kane is prem proven good opening fixture and I'm almost certain haaland will pick up lots of injuries this season considering his record and a much more physical league

Awesome video, just wondering would Cash not be under consideration?
Thanks, think I prefer Gabriel and Walker for 5.0 tbh
@@FPLFocal ok thanks 😊
No one is talking about Martin o from arsenal I got him in my pick with a 3 5 2 formation I recon he will do well along side martinelli
I had him and gabriel first. But switched to jesus and martinelli
Who else is keen on Ramsdale to start off with over the 4.5 goalkeepers? Already have James to cover shakey Chelsea, don’t fancy Mendy too.
Thanks for another great video. Your graphics and way you put up your videos and with talk around it is top class Oscar, so thanks 👍 But did you forget SON?

hes a good gateway to spurs goal hauls
Great video. Did notice your cursor on the screen moving around the graphics.

Best fpl UA-camr

Cancelo has fixtures for Wolves by accident! Regardless, priceless video mate.
Oops 😂
Best 4.5 GK to rotate I need to play 352 n not worry about GK
Raya n merlier or Sanchez
Best new channel I found.
Thanks glad you found the channel!
What do you think of Nottm Forest strikers Johnson and Awoniyi? Johnson takes all set pieces which is very tempting same as Ward Prowse

I'd get johnson gw6 to 8 since they're against Bournemouth leeds Fulham
@@defaultty7549 sounds great
Why don't I want to remove Bowen from my draft?
I really feel like he's going to smash it
He is, just bench him for the 1st game against City then after that watch the points rack up!
@@alexandermcbrien264 last game against city he scored 2 lol

Ramsdale is a great 5 million keeper
In fact he’s better than Mendy 😀
best video ever… ❤️
What's wrong with Newcastle assets Mr Focal?
Trippier. Almiron. Wilson.
I think Jansson BRE is also a good budget option 🤔
Help. Ederson and Bailey or Sanchez and Martinelli really not sure....
Really helpful thank you. Any thoughts on starting Cucurella? Could be a problem if he moves to Man City and what would happen if you already have three of their players which I would?
Avoid for now
I really think you're the true hidden gem this season
Thanks Duncan!
I'm an Everton fan so i got Kane AND Haaland
How about Patterson from Everton on the bench?
I don't see any reason to get him over Williams. Seems like Coleman could take the spot back while Williams much more nailed
Love u Focal but it’s SA - LEE - BA 😂😂
What about de gea or pope instead of mendy?
Henderson could do well at Forest
Dont fancy Odegaard?
More nailed long term that Maritnelli + captain, and now he finally has a striker to pass to
gd point
Not a good fpl asset regardless
Ruben Dias & Bowen (0.5m in the bank) or... Cancelo & Grealish (1.0m in the bank)
????
Are you doing a private league?
No love for any Newcastle guys? I think trippier Bruno G and Wilson are all decent options
I dont see anyone talking about Uniteds defence. There could be bargains there
Dalot the only one tempting me who I covered under the budget defenders. I agree - could be a bargain. Maybe Martinez later on if he nails down a spot
Surprised to see no Aston Villa Defenders. Cash for 5mil seems a little under value
He's a good shout but I'd say I prefer Gabriel and Walker for the same price atm
thoughts on barnes?
A Salah-less team allows for so much depth all round. But it's Salah.

Is Lingard a bad pick?
I can’t un-hear your downward intonation at the end of every sentence. Very unique
Kane.
Man city players share the goals more than Spurs players
No Pope? Newcaste has improved their defense, and Pope is a monster shotstopper
Why is Son not on your watchlist ?
How about kdb
Trippier is the only player in my draft not on this watchlist
How dumb would it be not to include James in my team? Instead, I'd then rotate Neco Wiliams, a 4.5m defender (Jonny?) and Andreas Pereira for my 11th slot. That'd free up an extra 1.5m to spend on my midfield.
Iversen is the #2 Leicester keeper
where is TrIPPER ??
How is Son not in that list? 228 and 258 points the last 2 seasons
He's a biased gooner.
Kane over the Big H as he’s nailed
So you're not big on Three Premiums...
Mahrez or grealish and the extra 1 mil
Good luck
Ward is injured btw
Bowen?
Where is Kulusevski??
I'm not honestly considering him, I'd put Diaz, Saka, Mount ahead myself
