Thread: Football - Fantasy Premier League 19/20 - anybody up for it?

He's back at Chelski. The forgotten Batshuayi scored yesterday in Lamps first game in charge in a 1-1 draw in Ireland. He's not in the list either.

No doubt it will be updated

I suppose that until Ski make it clear he's not on loan they won't show him in either side

OK, for what it's worth, and I admit...all pretty much guessed (with a few exceptions).. my err Guessed XI..

i figured de Gea at first but... he leaked a few goals last season..definitely not up to previous years

gotta give new boy , James a chance - could be good could not but he can be swapped out if needs be

mctominay was pretty solid last year - no reason to think he wont keep that up

Aguero is well... him and a lot have also thought like me on Giroud - lets see...

and then.there's..Pogba. yeah I know, I know he's leaving, he's upset, he's off the boil.... except i don't think he is leaving just yet (unless a mega offer came in) and he can make 'n' score. Takes penalties too.

Anyway.. I fully expect to be propping the league up from the start, which is fine cos I am new to this too!!

TD that's not a bad first effort. You can keep making changes without incurring penalty points until the start of the season. Midfielders - you are looking for goals and assists and for them to be on the winning team. I don't think its worth investing in 5 good defenders, buy a cheap one and use the money on your Midfield / Strikers. TBH its a bit of a lottery, there are always players who pop up out of nowhere and you'd never have picked them.

Should be a bit of fun, you can get by on not investing too much time on it or really study the games weekly and make adjustments / transfers - sometimes though the more tweaking you do can be detrimental.

That's true.

Same each position. Get one cheapest option, to free up money for the ones you play each week.


For DF the price difference is less than attackers, and the same amount of points for a clean sheet than a forward gets for a goal (4). A good position to get points from. Especially with a DF that gets up for set pieces.

Remember John fokhead Terry creamed it around 10 years ago with around 30 clean sheets and half a dozen goals off corners.

Agreed, but i always try to buy one cheap one from a new team based on what the did last year, i.e as you said get up for set pieces.

You really need 4 good MF and 2 Strikers and 3 good Df IMHO

Really depend on who you've got.

Players listed out of position are the best.

Salah getting MF points for goals and assists could be a goldmine, Martial could be too if he's a starter every game as an inside forward. Bale listed as a DF when playing as a winger and getting around 25 goals/assists one season was the best.

A very good choice. Son for Totting has his moments and is effectively more of a striker for spurs than Kane but he's inconsistent - and injured at the mo.

Lsst season out of nowhere Wolves had Jiminez who was brilliant and cheap at the start and is still only 7.5M - good pick for your cheap striker

Another fookin' change I gotta make.

Notice you've got ManC players.....squad rotation could be a factor if they go deep in Comps, ManUtd...defender

Don't know, he was first to say yes, he also told me Preston was a great place to live.

Preston is a shit hole.

However Deepdale the home of Preston North end is worth a few hours.

I was think a permanent move, so what i am getting from you monkeys is there's lots of nice places to visit just don't move there, sheeesh. Its no wonder foreign players can only stand 1-2 years in Manc land.

Move to the moors or the Peak District.

Depends if you want a semi rural life or a city life.

What's sort of property are you looking for, I may be able to assist....

Damn reasonable first team, bit of a gamble with Pogba.

Take no notice of me, you'll probably go on and win it.

Get a one bedroom bungalow next to a bus stop and post office in Bolton for £100k.

You can use your free bus pass and queue up outside the post office and have a natter with the locals once a week.

Big points from MF every week.

Giroud to be banging them in.

Clean sheets and set piece goals galore from the DF.

DDG to be cleaning up for the number of saves per game.

^ take Mane out immediately; he's mine!

I won't be changing my team week by week, just not much into these things (and I haven't watched PL football for years), so I will probably come last.
