Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW21 starts WEDS 15th JAN @ 5:30am AEST [3 GAMES]

[Miller is a Steele]

Still chopping and changing all the time and can almost guarantee this won't be my final draft. Haven't had many drafts at all with a 4.5 in midfield or up front but I do here. Have Sangare over Winks due to lower ownership. Haven't fully decided whether I go Haaland, Salah, or both, but I'm leaning both at the moment. Hard to see me not going in with triple Liverpool, Jota also under consideration if I drop one of the others. Henderson, Eze, Nkunku, and Isak are locks. ESR my pick of the 5.5m MIDs, although don't mind Rogers at 5m allowing for 0.5m in the bank. Quansah, Mykolenko, and Konsa all rotate well and Barco could be handy in GWs 4&5 if still starting by then. Salah C.


Far closer to a final draft in RDT. Structure has been 2/1/3 premos for a while now. Have vaguely considered dropping a forward down in case a cheapie starts on fire but I'm too scared to fade either of Haaland, Salah, and Isak. Rookies not set in stone. Both GKs, Davis, Nkunku, Mavididi, and ESR all just about certain to stay. Liking Hall and Livramento for now but still some concerns over JS and what not. Martinez will start but I don't rate United's defence. From what I've seen and read Bentancur seems nailed. Noticed last year that he started at 9 or 10 million. Didn't play the 22/23 season but I can only assume he was a misc machine. Very low owned too. Hutchinson and a couple others are alternatives. Salah VC into Isak C. A healthy 520k in the bank.

Wouldn't play Sangare in FPL. Will be a better player for NF this season, but more a of a holding mid. I'd look more for a Anderson, or Danilo if they are at the same price.

 

[T43597]

I think im set. Happy to go with Bowen as my main POD. Not entirely enthused about my defence but i figure its not worth spending much behind TAA.

 

[T43597]

Set on my RDT too

Nice. You're correct about JS. Hall could be safe thanks to injuries. Livra won't be, as long as Trippier is still around.
I feel Betancur is only in this GW cos Bissouma inhaled some laughing gas, so should be back next GW.

Bowen's best returns have come when he's been playing CF. Fullkrug will likely take that spot.
Not saying he won't get returns at RW, but he likely won't be as good as he was last season.

 

[Herbie66]

Missed playing last season so will have another crack

Pending team lineups will most likely go on with this :-

Whiteman / Muric

TAA , Gvardiol , Hall / Barco , Davis

Havertz , Minteh , Nkunku , Mavididi / ESR

Haaland , Salah , Isak

Was contemplating Muniz over Salah and beefing up my mids

Only 20,000.00 in the Bank so not much wriggle room

 

[Ironhawk]

For those wanting to start a side with the most popular picks, this is it apparently.

 

[vsberlina]

With Pereira missing a 2nd game, something is NQR. In comes Hall. Hedge against those with a NEW DEF, and frees up some cash.
This is looking like the final draft. With no United or FUL, I still have time to change it, but I think it's pretty good.
7 premiums. 3 MIDs playing as CF. With a loop, I have 7 players to generate cash to upgrade to 4 premiums eventually.
Season hasn't even started, and I've already won it. Thanks for coming.

You do have one FUL

He to play for FUH

 

[vsberlina]

Wood & ESR to cover the nice early fixtures of NFO and FUL. Cheaper than Muniz and MGW.
Allows me to have Jota. I think Pool will be scoring lots of goals early on, so a double up isn't that risky IMO.
Gvardiol reminds me of Cancelo. Fond memories there. As long as he stays at LB, it'll be happy dayz.
Muric for the SVs, odd PKs, and bonus. He showed he doesn't need CSes to be the best. But if he does keep any...
Bench has 3 x 4.0 and a 4.5. Pretty much the cheapest you can get. Fillers by name and by nature.

Oh yeah. We'll not even considering changing him, but I better check he's starting before kickoff. Thanks.
Good thing I'm working tonight and over the weekend, so will be up for all kicko***.

What's "FUL" stand for? perhaps" Fantastic Unique Line-up"

 

[Kennedy]

Do we have a league for fantasy EPL?

I still think he will impact off the bench. I'll just run with him on and change formation after the game if needed.

Cheers mate, in everything now

 

[Kennedy]

Anyone playing ESR in the morning or just keeping him on bench as a potential loop due to unlimited trades?

 

[Hazardous Mata]

Half the comp had Szmodics. Benched so dumped him. 10pts.

You can all have another go, now.

Not saying he won't get returns at RW, but he likely won't be as good as he was last season.

Could have an increase on corners/free kicks if JWP is indeed left on the bench as predicted lineups are suggesting.
