Artius Stelio - RMT

Post by Artius Stelio »

New here and on my mobile so no idea how to post a screenshot of my team.

Ederson

Robertson
Van Dijk
Walker
Digne

Salah
Zaha
B. Silva
Pereyra

Kane
King

Bench: Button, Taylor, Dendoncker, Nkeitah

I’m not bothered about the bench players at all so really just looking for opinions on the starting lineup, would you change anything?

Welcome to Fiso :)

Your team (inc bench) is almost identical to mine so naturally I agree with dod.

Walker ... I can't make my mind up on him. The fact he gets matched by Che defenders despite playing for MC makes me wonder if he is overpriced for FPL. Maguire, if he ends up at MC, might be a better bet as I think he would be playing very regularly.

The stats are dark and full of errors.

The only thing I'd consider much at the moment is the structure of the keeper spend and the 4th defender structure. Nothing really wrong with Walker at all (and he could be Mendy who would be excellent if he plays as much as Walker did last year - although that does seem a bit doubtful) it's just a bit of a question in my mid about whether Walker is your backup for Digne rather than a replacement for a potential value defender from a price bracket or 3 lower.

Nothing concrete yet and these are just the same questions I ask myself when dropping in and out an extra premium defender.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ve been playing around with it a bit, I like to have 4 or 5 different teams drafted with different formations before finally deciding on the one I like most. Here is my latest one, do you think it’s better than the team in my original post?

Lloris

Robertson
Laporte
Digne
Maguire
Ake

Zaha
Salah
B. Silva
Siggy

Kane

Bench: Button, Andone, Nketiah, Dendoncker

I think your structures are good and you are already at the stage of flipping the personnel (and from a decent shortlist).

Both your options look decent to me. Slight gut preference for the first one, if only because the 8m mids look good but will they hit the points needed to justify their valuation? So having both of them might hold you back. I am trying to play the game more savvy this year (it was year 1 for me last year) and while I have historically been good at spotting players, I need to take more notice of their price.

Your team has the same structure as mine. The problem i found was strikers. King is not value for money and will underperform his price. For me aiming for 30pts per million i had to rule him out.

It looks a very good team. Comparing it with my own there is no doubt yours has the potential to score more highly. It is like a thoroughbred racehorse chomping at the bit and waiting for the stalls to open at the start of the Derby. Mine is more like a heavily armoured Clydesdale preparing to drag a plough across a mud field in a war zone.

The question is "Is FPL more like Epsom Downs or Flanders fields?" If the former, then you are easily going to win the race. If the latter, then I am going to pass you as the vet erects a curtain around your team and puts a single bullet in the chamber of his gun.

I’m really struggling to find a team I’m happy with, mainly because I’m trying to fit Salah, Sterling and Kane all in. As well as these 3 players I don’t want to downgrade my defenders too much and I’d also like Siggy so yeah not asking for much :lol:

Lloris

Robertson
Laporte
VVD
Walker
Digne

Salah
B. Silva
Maddison

Kane
King

Who is on your bench?

It is similar, but better than my similar lot ie I have Rich and KdB in midfield.

My bench is all 4/4.5m fodder mate. Button, Hayden, Dendoncker and Wickham.

A few minor changes and I’ve got my final team (yeah right :mrgreen: ) decided two weeks prior to the first game.

Lloris: Want a set and forget GK choice, Lloris should provide some early clean sheets with Spurs’ home fixtures and well I know they have City as their first away game but plenty of shots for Lloris to save!

Robertson: Doesn’t need much explaining, assists and CS galore throughout the season, prefer to the 7m midfield choices.

Trent: See above! Plus set pieces.

Laporte: Want City coverage at the back and Laporte is a good season long pick.

Pereira: Not seeing him mentioned in many people’s teams but I think he showed enough last season to justify his price tag and in a Rodgers team he may score even more points so I’m happy to try him from the start whilst people are all going for the other options around that price range.

Digne: Great fixtures to start the season, goal and assist potential and on some set pieces, great stuff.

Perez: Probably my biggest punt but I think it’s good to go for one or two risks to try get ahead of others. He’s a quality player and hopefully playing with better players will bump his goals and assists up this season, could be a bargain at £6.5m.

Salah: Will be the top point scorer come the end of the season, again!

B.Silva: Seen most trying to fit KDB/Sterling into their teams but for me B.Silva will prove to be brilliant value for money this season, double figures in goals and assists I’m predicting.

Kane: I like to have a premium striker and Kane’s price can’t be ignored, alternative captain choice to Salah.

King: Great early fixtures and is also on penalties I believe?

Bench: Button, Dendoncker, Hayden, Wickham.


This will be quite the change for me as I’ve always played either 3-5-2 or 3-4-3. I think there’s brilliant value in the defenders this season and I’ve always been tempted to go 5 at the back so finally doing it!

Interested to see people’s opinions on this?
