Tell me about it! There are a few potentially decent bench options in the 4M and 4.5M price points. My current draft is 4 at the back with Baldock (4m) as the benchie. I have another draft that is three at the back with Baldock and Bell (also 4m) as the Benchies. Bell is 17% owned so he seems quite a popular choice as a filler, my fear is that if Luton get off to a poor start people will dump him and I could be left holding a 3.9 or 3.8m player giving me a problem to move to someone else if I don't have any money ITB.
Current draft is 4-4-2 with 0.5 ITB.

I’m not too sure if i will join the league this year with my team.

Speaking with a mate earlier I had a thought.. make a team filled with players from teams than finished in the bottom half last year + the 3 promoted sides.

It was actually quite fun and because Chelsea were so bad you can have their players too.

I may make a mini league if can get enough players who fancy it?

here is my Bottom Half Ballers team for critique

Finalised my team. Been consuming a bit more content on YouTube and twitter/X this season and what really strikes me is the massive herd mentality. Anyway I've gone with Haaland and Salah, hope it works out! biggrin

Definitely finalised my team too. Just going round in circles otherwise, swapping and changing. So I'm stopping now, and it is what it is for GW1.

Maybe.


Edit: now with the breaking Kane news I have to rip it all up and start over!


GRRRrrrr this game.

If anyone wants to try their luck all season without Erling Haaland in your squad then here is a league for you.

Erling HaaBanned, FPL league code 2bfffx

Been doing that for yeaaaars.

I quiet like that bottom of the table league idea, but I haven't got the commitment to do 2 teams.

Hello everybody!

I'm in again, new team name and hopeful of an even better season. Haaland to me is essential but I think there are several other players who are just as important.

But I'm clearly not going to tell you who they are! wink

Time to hop out of the pond, don the designer roll neck sweater and squelch onwards to victory! Ribbet!!

Got my team locked in and still have £5m of budget left, fear I'm missing a trick!

I'm in again.

My team is very template, with a couple of differentials. One being Richarlison... if Kane stays though I may have to rethink that.

Teams all ready? I needed a pep style sabbatical after winning my mini league 2 years in a row but I have been pulled in again!

To Salah or to not to Salah?

To Salah!


Out of interest any prizes up for grabs this year from the generous overlords at PH Towers?

Who won them all last year?

I looked at my team this morning and realised it's basically the reverse of this.


All out on strikers and midfield, and the defence and keeper are worth a combined £1m hehe

That pic reminds me of my team quite a bit too! My defence are pretty average, but my midfield are mint(on paper), however I only have Haaland up front though(the other 2 strikers I have are unlikely to play). biggrin

Get rid of Rice - not useful in FPL.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree .. who at 5.5m though. Douglas Luiz maybe?

Luiz seems to fly under everyone's radar. Not sure if they know something I don't, but I really think he's a decent asset for the price.
