One thing about Geertruida's 8 goals is that there were only 3 from open play, one was a penalty and the other 4 from corners (where Trent obviously won't be in the box)
Rogers will be nailed for the start of the season. At the end of last season when he was fit he was starting every game and was one of the best players so he will definitely start the season. Wont be a 90 minute man but will have a big impact when he is playing
@@tompearce9935 defence is just too weak. No any attacking threat so you are relying on cleansheets from teams who aren’t Arsenal, City or Liverpool….
Good draft mate! I've managed a 98% on FFH and gonna go with this. Pickford, (Virginia); TAA, Gvardiol, Saliba, (Anderson, Barco); Salah, Eze, Nkunku, Foden, (Andreas); Isak, Wood, Havertz Gives me the Arsenal attacker, even though I'd prefer Saka, and City attack. Andreas for ESR if he signs. That is draft 77,000. Hopefully work my way to Watkins for around GW 4.
Love your thinking Ross, never though about value like you cemented here. We all forget that this is a long season. You proved this last season when you went down in rank and just jolted up in a few weeks. Cheers from the States!
Great draft Ross. I'm of a similar mindset to you, but with a couple of variations. I have Raya in goal and a 4.5m rotating defender instead of Saliba. You have an extra premium midfielder - I have Nkunku and Havertz instead of Stewart. More rotation options for me but not as strong in midfield as you.
The counter argument for having a OK bench is the 5 FTs. Naturally going to want to find an extra 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. By putting all money into XI you make what would have been 2FTs into 1FT. Stockpiling FTs feels the secret weapon this year. Mini WCs on big fixture swings
It's really nice to see someone doing what they love, with passion. I don't know why, but I felt extremely happy about the FPL Therapy announcement. I really wish you all the best Ross 💜
Great work Ross! Appreciate the work and dedication you have put in - podcast looks world class and I can’t wait to give it a listen. 🙌🏼 best wishes for it!
@@FPLRaptor yeah man. Not too bad! Just not as active on socials as I was when I first joined….hoping to be able to be a bit more active and involved this year. That being said, never stopped following your content, and it just keeps getting better!
I heve got the feeling that Halland will score couple of Hat-tricks in the first two or three games and all no Halland teams will be doing their early WC when Isak,Watkins wood etc not deliver :) i going for Salah and Halland and just in case can always transfer them out easily. But this is a beauty of FPL We all can be right or wrong. Good Luck Ross with this season and new Project ✊️
Excited for the new pod will deffo be an avid listener! Keep up the good work Ross. With fpl I like Roger’s but u think the 5.5 mids such as pereira and mavididi are being overlooked especially when they take so many set pieces.
@@FPLRaptor yeah I’m a Bournemouth fan and he will be key for us. He normally only gets 60-70 mins tho cos Iraola loves high intensity so normally subs quite early
Nice draft Ross. My current draft is basically the same but I have Gordon, Watkins and Foden for Palmer, Saka and Wood with Armstrong being a 4.5 mill forward. I really like the 3 6 mill defenders. Looking forward to FPL Therapy
Similar set up to what I am currently on. I own TAA and Gvardiol but have opted for 2x £4.5m DEF in Burn and Konsa. The MID is similar except I have Foden and Nkunku over your Saka and Palmer. I own Watkins too. My FFH overall % is 94 and remains high for a number of GWs 💥 Another great stream, excited to engage with FPL Therapy 🔥
I feel like this no Haaland charade going on in the community has to stop. It's easy to make no Haaland drafts now with 3 weeks to go but everyone and their mom will have him in by the deadline.
I have both Salah and Haaland as of today. Yesterday, and the days before that, the roster was totally different. Constantly transferring, analyzing, and finding the need for another cup of coffee. Liking what I have currently but...
I have managed to get a 96 rated team. Crazy thing is i might not even go or that team (bias towards my own teams player :( ) For people who wanna know the team: flekken, turner. Gvar,saliba,vdv,robinson,barco Salah,foden,gordon,eze,nkunku Watkin,isak,wood. Im prob switching out one of the midfielders, likely foden or gordon for madders and improve the def. That team only managed a 94 but its what my heart told me:((
Very nice draft, my current squad is: Pickford/Sanchez, Saliba/Gvardiol/Trent/Konsa/Coady, Salah/Gordon/Foden/Gibbs-white/Yarmoliuk, Watkins/Isak/Stewart. Gibbs-White feels like a bit of a gamble over Eze but he's got a filthy set of fixtures to start, he was good last season and it leaves me .5 ITB should I get injuries or need to make changes early on. AI rates it at a 92:)
Hi Ross, I hope all is well. Nice draft. After much deliberation myself, I have locked in Haaland and Salah start (with a view to start downgrading both around GW3 and GW4). Basically I just want them both captained against Ipswich, and then move to my balanced team. I'll probably use the WC early because with 5 rolled transfers this season its probably fine
Love your idea of building up to 5 free transfers. Might make for some boring gameplay for the first 5 weeks but will be in such a powerful position from there. Thank-you for your analysis.
GK: Raya DEF: TAA - Van de ven - Burn MID: Salah (C) - Son (VC) - Foden - Nkuku FWD: Watkins - Isak - Jaoa Pedro __________________________________________________ BENCH: (GK) Turner - Konsa - Barco - winks __________________________________________________ Debating between son vs saka. Might go for son the first two gameweeks then swap to saka after that. Also if EMS goes to fulham i see him as a potential bargain, but wait and see for that. Konsa and van de ven rotates good imo. Barco vs any other nailed 4.0 is also a wait and see. Thoughts?
Hi Raptor, loving the team, I’ve gone with a haaland and salah draft at the moment and I’ve got 1 question, what combination is better (also I have isak for Newcastle cover) 1. 2 6.5 million mids 2. Gordon and a 5.5 mid Any help appreciated thanks Ross!
i’ve got Haaland and Salah at the moment, but don’t know what to do. my heart picked Haaland but my brain says Salah for the opening fixtures. got Palmer too but i like your argument for TAA, so much to think about!
I have a defence of Gvardiol,TAA, Porro and Robinson I plan on starting the first 2 every week and alternating between Robinson and Porro Spurs and Fulham have a combined green fixtures run up until Gameweek 14 where both the easier one becomes white My defense seems sorted for now all that's left is to know which Forest/Palace keeper starts Might just stick with Flekken for some safety
Finally got my draft it’s 98% My team is Pickford Sels Trent Gabriel Gvardiol Barco Konsa Salah Gordon Saka Eze Hudson Odoi Isak Muniz Wood Pretty close to yours bar a few a changes :)
My latest draft gave team rating 95% , xpoints 67,3 and GW rating 94% but I'm not pleased with forwards so changes are coming... Raya - (4,0) Gabriel - TAA - Gvardiol - (Burn, Faes) Salah - Saka - Gordon - Eze - Gibbs-White Isak - Joao Pedro - (Armstrong)
Love your draft mate. What do you think of my team. Onana, Fabianski Saliba, Gabriel, Burn, Konsa, Castagne Saka, Gordon, Eze, Rodrigo, McGinn Haaland, Isak, Pedro
No salah or Halland for my team, scary yes but my front 7 feels nice whilst having a great defence. Love a risk, either works perfect or flops and I love the unpredictable
Damn, someone else finally caught on. I love the idea of Miguel as a GK pick if he ends up the starter. I personally don't love splurging for an Arsenal defender on top of Trent/Gvardiol given their opening fixtures and his lack of attacking threat. Would probably move down to a 4.5 and splash that cash elsewhere.
I have gone for a bench boost in the first gw1 with this squad: GK:Alisson and Vicario DEF:Trent,Gabriel,White,Burn,Mykolenko MID:Saka/Son,Bruno,Eze,Gordon,Gibbs-White FWD:Isak,Solanke,Joao Pedro
I like this draft a lot Ross… obviously can’t help but notice that you have no Man City attack tho… city are the best attack in the league, for me it’s a non option to not have one of foden or haaland… for me I think I’ll go foden so I can spread the funds around a bit.
Good video. If you downgraded Saka to a 6.5m you could turn Stewart into Havertz, still have Arsenal forward coverage and more depth. Keep up the good work 👍
I tried Haaland + Salah last week and no Salah this week. Have 6 players the same although the 4.5 GK could also match. But each had no Arsenal and Utd and unlikely any spurs. My guess is I need no Haaland to consider starting with any of those teams (or palmer not nkunku)
Currently owning Bailey, just heard you reciting Unai's quote and I immediately made the switch 🤣. Don't really have anywhere else to spend the 2m in the bank tho
Hey Ross, congratulations on the birthing of FPL Therapy. I've subscribed to it and I'm looking forward to the videos. What do you know of my latest draft. I want to rotate my defenders and goalies based on fixtures GK: Flekken & Verbruggen (booking Steele because I know Verbruggen is injured) DF: Konsa, Andersen, Mykolenko, Murillo. Robinson MF: Salah, Saka, Palmer, Foden, Eze FW: Isak, Wood, Stewart I know that I don't have an Arsenal, Liverpool or City defense, but if Konate is nailed, I can downgrade Verbruggen for Brentford's 4.0 GK and upgrade Robinson
I’ve managed to get Trent, Salah, Palmer and Harland in - and the rest of the team looks not half bad . It did take some major tweaking from my first draft though
Hi Raptor, your thoughts on my squad. Flekken; Udogie Burn Milenkovic Mykolenko; Saka Bruno Son Salah; Isak Watkins GK 4.0, Robinson, Andreas, FWD 4.5 Plan to transfer Saka to Foden week 2 for city cover.
Do you think Watkins is also on pens now, because Douglas luiz went to Juventus. I think lots of people are overlooking him right now, could be wrong tho
After hours of tinkering I actually got a 100% team rating, playing the way I like (no players from certain teams, max players from my team)… but the team makes me really nervous :).
@@FPLRaptor yeah. But I’m wary. It all depends on Gabriel playing at Arsenal. And with Calafiori and Timber, I have zero confidence that he’ll start. I’d avoid that whole left side of Arsenal’s defence until it settles. We all remember the beginning of last season.
Dunno what my rating is but ive gone Henderson Trent, Van Der Ven, Gvardiol Foden, Salah, Odegaard, Nkunku Isak, Haverz, Wood Subs: Sanchez, Yoro, Minteh, Barco Thoughts?
The 'what if' argument for a big defence holds no water, as the same can be said for midfield. What if Saka and Foden start super hot, then you would need 2 or three subs to get them. And lets not forget, when midfielders hit it well, it will usually be better than a defender. Also, I always hated to use a forward spot as the dead (cheap enabler), cause there is zero chance to use them for less than 5.5m. While in defence a 4.0 can be of some use and in the midfield this is a 4.5 or 5. Wood for Watkins? And you prefer premium defence?
98% GW and 98% Team. But that is with Gabriel instead of Saliba. If I switch Gabriel to Saliba, its 97% and 97%. Only differences are: - Raya for Miguel - Son for Palmer - Nkunku for Rogers - Boly for Gvardiol
Had an overall rank of 94% in an earlier draft (no Haaland) but now going with Haaland and Salah for 84%. Lost count of the number of tweaks to my squad 😊
@FPLRaptor have you considered downgrading EZE to Gibbs-White and Rogers to Andrea from Fulham? That gives you an extra penalty taker and really good fixtures.
Ross, I understand planning ahead but at the end of the day fixtures matter and Saliba is not worth 1.5 more over all the other 4.5 defenders in the first 8 gameweeks
I had been on the same draft for the last 10 days ish but now Foden won’t start gw1 and probs 2 I’ve changed my team sm. I also had havertz but now worried Jesus may start striker or atleast take mins off Kai

The 'what if' argument for a big defence holds no water, as the same can be said for midfield. What if Saka and Foden start super hot, then you would need 2 or three subs to get them. And lets not forget, when midfielders hit it well, it will usually be better than a defender. Also, I always hated to use a forward spot as the dead (cheap enabler), cause there is zero chance to use them for less than 5.5m. While in defence a 4.0 can be of some use and in the midfield this is a 4.5 or 5. Wood for Watkins? And you prefer premium defence?
98% GW and 98% Team. But that is with Gabriel instead of Saliba. If I switch Gabriel to Saliba, its 97% and 97%. Only differences are:
- Raya for Miguel

@FPLRaptor have you considered downgrading EZE to Gibbs-White and Rogers to Andrea from Fulham?
That gives you an extra penalty taker and really good fixtures.
I got 96% team rating with my team 😄
Ross, I understand planning ahead but at the end of the day fixtures matter and Saliba is not worth 1.5 more over all the other 4.5 defenders in the first 8 gameweeks
Peter crouch and Andy from lets talk fpl would be good guests
Sels Fabianski
Robertson Myko Burn Aina HB
Salah Son Fernandes Eze KDB
Isak Wood Muniz
Got 97 on this. Not sure if it means anything tbh 😅
What do you think about a no haaland and no salah draft? (what I'm currently on)
When are we having fpl pickle on the podcast?
Looks very similar to the draft I've settled on at the moment, so I might be biased. That defence just looks too good to turn down imo
team is 97% rated and i love it, cant see myself changing anything.
Great rating 🙌🏼
I managed 98%
Hi Ross looking forward to the first episode of the podcast. When us th first episode likely to be out
6th August is the pencilled in date!
I had been on the same draft for the last 10 days ish but now Foden won’t start gw1 and probs 2 I’ve changed my team sm. I also had havertz but now worried Jesus may start striker or atleast take mins off Kai
