Rafa's Mighty Piglets 2022/2023

Post by **Rafa** » 19 Jul 2022, 14:26

After some tinkering, I have come up with the following:

Ederson - Dennis

Alexander-Arnold - James - Gabriel - Jansson - Williams

Salah - Neto - Pereira - Dasilva - Longstaff

Haaland - Kane - Jesus

I have 0.5 left in the bank.

What do you reckon?

Is this general idea for a front-heavy yet still good at the back side viable, at least for now?

I'm aware of the many good 8.0 midfield options and that I will probably have to make a reshuffle some time in the future to accommodate one of them.

Are there any better alternatives for my individual player choices? For example, is Cash or Dier a wiser selection than Gabriel for his slot? What about the 4.5 bench midfielders?

Thanks so much!

You may as well go 523 with 3 x 4.5m mids?

Trippier is cheap .....

Never understood using centre-halves at 5 or more, never confident it brings vfm.

Worth keeping tabs on any of the 4.5 midfielders moving, some play in advanced roles like Jacob Murphy.

Jesus is a gamble, considering he’s not getting service on tap like he did at Citeh.

Besides that, really good team.

Newcastle have some tricky fixtures early on, and I'm not sure that Trippier is actually the best 5.0 option...

Me neither, but no other Arsenal defender is nailed on right now. White might compete with Saliba for the place, while Tierney and Tomiyasu are still out. Maybe Zinchenko could be a good option? A quality player, no doubt, but his fantasy statistics have always been mediocre.

I've done some more tinkiering. What do you think? Especially about the dilemmas listed below:

Allison/Ederson - Dennis

Cancelo/Robertson - James - Gabriel/Cash - Jansson - Williams

Salah - Rashford/Odegaard - Pereira - Dasilva - Longstaff

Haaland - Kane - Jesus

Obviously, it is either Allison & Cancelo or Ederson & Robertson and Gabriel & Rashford or Cash & Odegaard.

BTW, will Robertson be a major downgrade from TAA?
