TK-421 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Just picked my 'initial' team earlier, and was umming and ahhing over Wilson or Isak, with 0.5m difference in price. Went with Isak initially, but just seen the forest goals again from first game of last season, and they state "Wilson scores on the opening weekend for the 3rd season running", so now debating whether to go Wilson instead. Already got two other NUFC players in, so cant really go for both of them. Edited August 8, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Think our fixtures are too hard to pick NUFC players from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 There are a few really cheap potential starts out there, just don't know enough about who's going to play and when. I tend to just pick a team based on the first 6 fixtures and then try to adapt after that. Kane is a right bastard for not staying or going yet, could be a very cheeky selection if he stays and people don't take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 So many appealing midfielders this year that I'd never considered Salah. But just made a nice draft with him.... a dangerous idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Knocked this up a while back and I've not been paying enough attention to pre-season. Any glaring issues, non-starters, manegerial fall-outs etc I;m not aware of? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Think it looks decent, personally I'm avoiding NUFC players til 5 or 6 games in and Bruno wouldn't get near my side regardless unless we start seeing him playing further forward. I've also avoided Liverpool altogether for now as there is too much rotation risk for players who might return other than Trent and Salah who are too expensive for me. It's personal taste I suppose but to me your bench looks too strong, if you were to put a one or two cheap likely starters in instead then that would free up some cash to spend elsewhere.

Interpolic Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) This is my side for now, might tweak slightly but not by a great deal. Edit - should say it's very "template" sort of by design as I'll see how the popular choices perform then make more differential moves later.

Doctor Zaius Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I think TAA is worth having due to him basically playing in midfield. Avoided Newcastle players because of our start aside from Trippier. Im Arsenal midfield heavy, with Martinelli, Saka and Havertz in my 5 man midfield, but their start is too tempting. Worth researching the bargain players who get minutes for their clubs too. Luton have a few bargain options but no fixture in GW2, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) TAA was in my draft for ages but swapping him for Shaw gives me £2.5m to make the midfield really strong which was too tempting. I'm mainly not that happy with Watkins as my second striker but he seems the best bet at that price tbh. Joao Pedro and Colwill are vague punts as well because we might see their minutes challenged, we'll see. Edited August 9, 2023 by Interpolic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Final draft, not bothering with the Bench Boost now. Getting McTominay based on him likely to be at West Ham within a week or two and £5m for a starting West Ham midfielder will be cheap. Botman swapped in the starting XI for Mings too.

I'd assume DCL will get more minutes but Pedro looks to be on pens for Brighton and they seem to get loads of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Got loads of ideas for possible picks, so many cheeky punts around. But have to restrain myself because half of them won't do anything. Wish it was easier to run two teams at the same time in the official app, then I'd create a random lads team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, had a fiddle which included swapping Bruno for Anderson, either he'll force his way into the team or be used to cover injury and I'll look a genius for having a useful 4.5 midfieler or he'll just sit on my bench and free up cash elsewhere.
