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

[Gazza's Treats]

Man City not the greatest team for dud GK loop
James is injured (was banned anyway)
Stones won't start
Not sure about a Bournemouth defender
Grealish might play at the weekend but long term is ?
Carvalho won't start (better cheap options)
Fulkrug might not start either. Forwards too weak overall i'm afraid.
Sterling not a definite starter (see teams just after midnight aussie time on Sunday)

Thxs Mate... FullPint is a biased choice haha rough translation but humourize find it hard to believe that the Top German Scorer may not even start but to be fair he is nowhere near the class of a Klose or Podolski I work on all the other mistakes You pointed out... should help Thxs Mate

 

[Under The Dome]

Could do with some help in my first EPL... I know Haaland and Salah Should be the better options but I gone for the lesser known

Team update
I hoped to come up with a decent side with these 5: TAA, Salah, Haaland, Isak and Gvardiol.
I'm pretty happy with the result

 

[Pesci001]

If TAA starts, might stick with him and dump Porro. Otherwise, I'm good to go if the rest start.

I like your structure, it will help me with my team

RDT update
Midfield not quiet right yet

Half the comp had Szmodics.
Benched so dumped him. Came on for a goal and assist 10pts.
Leader on 61pts all out.

Szmodics? Sounds like they're in need of a penis extension.

 

[vsberlina]

Tempted by Quansah as my Liverpool DEF exposure and then Gvardiol or Pedro Porro as top defender. Feels weird to go against TAA but i dont mind the idea one bit. Trying to find a good mid for less than 6.2Mil is what im searching for currently. Barnes/Elliot/Tielemans are probably the main candidates but none of them are screaming pick me.

This was LIV's last turnout. Did Slot play his preferred starting 11 in it?

TAA's heat map is scary. I'm too afraid not to go with him in any form of EPL. Gvardiol similarly.

The game against Sevilla showed that it was business as usual with Pool, post Klopp.

Don't get too cute with too many. Stick with the peloton. Make a move when the time is right.
There's enough bargain based players to be different on. Don't avoid top premiums.
It might be EPL, but the principles of this are the same as NRL DT.

Not much rotation at the start of the season given there's no other comps.
Injuries the only reason a player won't start.
If it's long term, trade them out. If it's short term, use the bench.

Anderson to another 4.0 (Barco, Faes) frees 0.5. Rogers to a 4.5 frees up another unit.
Get Porro for Mykolenko. Set and forget. Myko too injury prone too.
Whilst EVE are predictable at home, Palace aren't. Andersen scores slightly better away.
You'll likely be benching the bigger pts, so maybe don't go there.

Eze too injury prone. Lots of 6.5 available. Frees up 0.5 to upgrade Diallo to a 5.5. Lots of options there too.

Bobb won't see 3 starts given there's 6 City players waiting to return.

Can't back Hall and Murphy on pre-season friendlies. They weren't staples in the team last season, so no guarantee they'll be now.

Need a GK loop for VC/C chances. Also ensures GK doesn't score you minus.
Whiteman is dat guy as Spurs are in Europa so will be Thurs games, meaning many of their matches will be Sunday.

Diallo another. Go with an attacking MID from a promoted club.Cheaper and more likely to score better.
Unlikely to be rotated either. Mavididi or Hutchinson.

 

[vsberlina]

A worthwhile read.

Thxs for your feedback Mate... I just noticed I can change Formation haha... is the 2-5-3 the best also modified the Line up somewhat any thought from anybody, be kindly appreciated

Landed on this. Unsure on Gvardiol/McNeil vs Eze/4.5M DEF

McNeil/Mainoo/Hudson-Odoi/Rogers are under consideration for that mid spot. Im happy with my back 3 and my bench is just bottom priced selections that will get game time. Not sure who to captain out of Isak, Salah & Solanke. I have it on Solanke but that means nothing at the moment, it will be one of those 3 mentioned though.
