Discussion EPL Dream Team Discussion - Season 2021/22

[vsberlina]

At a glance, can't see 5 MIDs I really like, so thinking it might be best to get the Mendy / Kepa double for goals and use the MID spot as the loop. With DEF scoring so well and the least likely to get rotated, I think 5 premium DEF is a must.
Salah, Kane, Lukaku & CR7, along with a plethora of other potential good FOR also mean 3 FORs are necessary.
4-3-3, 5-3-2 or 5-2-3 seems the way to go. Can't see myself playing more than 4 in MID.

Score: 124
Rd Rank: 725
Overall Rank: 106 (from 91)

Very happy with the performance considering Raphinha, Jimenez and Saka did not contribute. Case in point in why I never bother compiling an extended trade plan greater than 1-2 rounds, as I had intended on selecting De Bruyne to replace Luiz and eventually downgrading Jimenez to Kane, with Saka also as a cash grab and an intent to hold for longer given fixtures. This meant I bypassed Hanley as the cash saved by selecting Dallas could help fund the above.

Current trades:
Out: B Saka and D Luiz
In: K De Bruyne and J Maddison
View attachment 35076

Livramento and Redmond also under consideration, as Ward-Prowse is out of my price range by $800,000.

I had Saka 0, Mings 0 Lukaku 2 on field, and on the bench Jiminenez 0 Raphinha DNP🤢

 

[Dazza]

My trades will depend Game1, Arsenal v Aston Villa

Only way Saka doesn’t get traded out is he not named anywhere, so he ‘s price doesn’t change, then turf him the following week, got a lot holes to plug

Jimenez will be a wait see if he is named in the 11
Lukaku going to have to suck it up and leave him in my team, Mings is probably in the same boat but might turf him


Any suggestions will be highly appreciated, as my trades have be disastrous of late

Saka misses through injury

Mings > Chilwell
Tomiyasu > Collins

Saka named

Mings > Chilwell
Saka > Redmond

Lukaku needs to lift, Jiminez needs to start

 

[Herbie66]

Probably do :-

Klich - > Maddison
Pereira - > Chilwell

them hopefully Marcal - > Cancelo/Dias the next round

Fantastic effort @PressurePoint on reaching the summit so early in the season, great looking team and high team value at this point in time. @vsberlina thorough knowledge & research are also paying off this season, currently 5th and chasing hard. Some members on our forum are rushing to their local garden stores to get their hands on some tomato seeds.

Early 6am AEDST Saturday start this coming GW so be sure to execute your intended trade involving Arsenal/Aston Villa players. @vsberlina

Tomato plant in. How to water it, see this thread. This site continues to grow.

Wouldn't worry about Lukaku's BE. He's a flat track bully so this should be his week.
I think I have to bring him in. Too scared what he could do.
With Salah away to United, it takes away Pool as a potential capt.

With Chilwell being a rotation risk, do you want to spend that much cash on an iffy starter?
I would look at which 5 DEF you ultimately want, and go with them.
TAA & VVD are nailed for me. Cancelo and probably Dias. Then Rudiger is still my fav CHE DEF.

Not sure what happened to Firpo, but if you want a cheap cash cow, maybe he's an option.

 

[vsberlina]

Probably do :-

Klich - > Maddison
Pereira - > Chilwell

them hopefully Marcal - > Cancelo/Dias the next round

Maddison is tempting. $3.5m, he can rot on the bench until he gets a few good scores and then can be flipped.

Yep can be M5 , gives me $$$ so I can upgrade elsewhere

The secret to good growth is manure. I talk so much bull****, this site was bound to flourish.

Looks like it's time for Antonio to go. Returns starting to diminish and a BE of 22.
Lukaku was a high BE of 20, but the next 3 fixtures are as juicy as they get.
Got to get him in for the pts, then the cash will be there once he's ready to flip, for a $3.5m 'Sale Bin' CR7.

Harry has steadily been getting better. Ripe for the picking too.
If you didn't get him last week, better jump onboard this week cos the Kane Pain Train is leaving the station.

Guaita has a decent home game. Hopefully Wilson doesn't spoil his farewell party. Flip to Allison or Mendy on the cards next GW.

WAT at home also a great farewell party for Townsend. He'll need to go GW10 so I "don't get fooled again".

Took me 15 gameweeks to get to 1st place last season so in better shape although I have hit that trade but more aggressively this time around.
Firmino and mcginn look like great cash options if your looking to build team value. I will probably forego cash gen in search of maximum onfield points, pity they didn't pull out those massive scores 2 weeks ago!

Two years running to get to 1st place at anytime in the season is amazing in any fantasy game !

 

[wogitalia]

No idea.

Question for you @wogitalia, if you happen to see this.

Necro post but I did for a few years there

If you've ever played with the Irish, this is no surprise. We almost had a civil war in a training game once.
The Irish can be your best friend, but rub them the wrong way, and they're worse than the Spartans.

I played seven seasons of Gaelic Football and a championship season of Hurling, and heck they are volatile.

The worse I received was goal umpiring during a final when a ball was three metres wide. They are dead set cheats and expect you to cop it. They don't like it back.
