in Community 🔚4 months ago

Hello, sports-loving Steemians. The Premier League is back. With that, the craze of EPL, Fantasy Premier League is also back. This season, I wasn’t able to be concerned much about my team. However, I finalized my draft for the Game Week 1. Game Week 1 selection is important because we all know it will affect my upcoming game week as well. I am going to explain about my team a little bit.

I have been playing Fantasy Premier League since the 2016-17 season. My best season was 2017-18 when I was ranked at 55k. Sooner or later, I never did great as well.

Well, let's start. First of all, I am not a good one at it. You can see it in my previous season's history, how bad I was! Still, I love this one. Starting with GK.

Goalkeeper

Emmie Martinez. I am an Argentina fan and have a weakness in him. However, Aston Villa has nice fixtures. I focused on that. Though they have UCL duties, I can still make good use of their fixtures.

Henderson, a budget GK from Palace. Many experts suggested him often. Also, in some cases, I can swap him with Emmie. For me, a good deal.

Defence

TAA. I think I don’t need to explain why he is here. Liverpool's fixtures and his potential make him a must-pick for every manager.

Saliba. @reservedsingle is very hopeful about Arsenal's defense. Many experts in X are hyped about him. I also knew about him a lot. He was on my team last season though. There are few hard fixtures for Arsenal in the opening. But, as mentioned, Arsenal fans said, it’s not easy to score against them. Whoever you are!

Livramento. In the Last few seasons, Newcastle has impressed us with solid defensive skills. A Castle asset is necessary in our back. For me, he is Livramento. He comes up with a budget and juicy fixtures. He has less risk for rotation than Hall.

Robinson. I do not know much about him. Experts talked about him a lot, and Fulham has good fixtures. He is a 4.5m def and I had to pick him.

Davis. Promoting side always provides us with a cheap budget superstar. I checked his history last night and found him a GEM. 18 assists from a defender is insane. He is in my consideration just for this.

Midfielder

D. Jota. I should have Salah there. But, to make my team a little more flexible, I had to go as, No Salah. But I couldn’t deny the appeal from Liverpool. That's why a budget-friendly Pool asset in my team.

J. Murphy I would like to go with Gordo from Castle. But there are budget issues. So I pick Murphy. He was extraordinary in pre-season matches. Gordon may hurt me. Their fixtures are yummy.

Saka I don’t think I have to explain why he is on my team. You know this well.

Hudson-Odoi To balance my team, I need to add some 5.5m players, and that's why he is on my team. He offers something good at this price.

B. Johnson Someone from Spurs is mandatory. I thought about Solanke. Later finds Armstrong. So, I go with Johnson. Kuluveski was also considerable. But my mind goes with him.

Forward

Isak. He is another one who does not need to explain, I think.

Armstrong Someone from the promoting side who attracts me is him. His goal contribution in the Championship amazed me. Come up with a budget, and I go for him to balance my team.

Haaland . He is someone who gives you a headache if he is not on your team. He is essential. If no returns, no problem. Not affect the ranking. If he returns and is not on your team, you are gone.


That's my team for 1st Game week. Rate my team and if you think I need changes, suggest me. Thank you.

I envy your ability to accommodate Haaland in that team. I struggled to 😂

Maybe ahead of subsequent games, I'm not sure captaining Isak over Haaland is totally a tactical move, given that Haaland has more odds of scoring than not. It was a tough one for me not getting him, which I hope I don't regret 😂 but to have him and not captain him may prove counterproductive. I'd like to be wrong though.

You have a decent midfield, which I believe were most lklely occasioned by Haaland's 15m price tag.

All the best this ṣeason.

Thank you for your wishes and advice. Best of luck to you too.

The deadline’s gone so too late to change anything but a few thoughts -

£9.5m is quite a lot on 2 goalkeepers. But they both play so you’ve got a backup if one gets injured.

Good price points in defence. Unless Trippier leaves Newcastle (which at the moment, it doesn’t look like will happen), Livramento might not play. Trippier will be 1st choice when he’s fit so Livramento will probably have to go soon.

Now that Solanke’s gone to Spurs, Brennan Johnson might not play - Kulusevski might start on the right instead.

Jota and Murphy both good for the start, 1 bad performance for getting dropped though 😊

Overall, decent. You should do well 👍🏼

Let's see. Thank you for your valuable suggestion.
