Hi everyone,
So this is how my team looks right now but it can all change in the next few days. I’ve gone for the standard 3-4-3 with a lot of cash spent in defence as I think there is real value in there.
DEFENDERS
I’ve opted for three premium defenders plus DDG which covers four of the top 6 which I think is really positive. There is a lot of speculation regarding United’s defensive frailties but I still think they are going to keep more or less the same clean sheets as last season so DDG looked like a good choice.
On my bench, I’ve got Cedric who has some tasty fixtures to start and Wan-Bissaka who is a great £4.0m pick.
MIDFIELDERS
Salah was obviously a no brainer.
Sane looks sluggish but I think he is still pivotal in that City attack.
Pedro I think is a great differential with Sarri favouring him ahead of Willian.
Richarlison is going to start well looking at their fixtures and the attacking mindset of the coach.
Masuaku is just a spot filler.
FORWARDS
Aguero looks the best choice to me due to fixtures and Pep suggesting he will go with a 3-5-2 which sets us free from the rotation stress.
If Austin is fully fit then he is going to deliver as their fixtures are really good and after a lot of tinkering between Zaha and Arnautovic, I went for Zaha just because of the fixtures.
I really wanna triple up on Liverpool but let’s see what happens in the next few days.
I will update my changes on Twitter
Happy FPL week folks and may your arrows be green forever!!
