1. Saka (10.0m)

Bukayo is back from the euros and has already played 45 + 77 mins in preseason. Arsenal looks like they will get better and better and so does Saka. 0.65 xGI per 90 last season was his best underlying stats ever. 10.0m is a lot but he would be my Arsenal pick of choice.

2. Saliba (6.0m)

With the signing of Calafiori and the return of Timber, Arsenal have the ability to set up the back four in many different ways. In ways which might mean that Gabriel eventually can get rested in some games. Saliba however will probably play everything and even though his attacking threat is not as great, I prefer the certainty of minutes.

3. Odegaard (8.5m)

The Norwegian has had a rest all summer and will be a solid midfield option with a high floor, just like every season. He probably won’t reach the highs of your Saka or Salah but the consistency of minutes makes him a good option.

PREDICTED LINEUPS FOR GAMEWEEK 1 (THREAD) 🧵

With very few days left until the deadline, I tried to compose my predicted XI for every team going into GW1 including player prices

Here they are ⤵️

Defensive selection (THREAD) 🧵

Estupiñan, Gabriel, Stones and Chilwell all have above 50% ownership among engaged managers

But most of you will only start three defenders. Should you have all four? Which one should you leave out? Gabriel £5.0m (24.4%)

Arsenal had an nPxGC per 90 of exactly 1 last season putting them third in the league behind Man City and Newcastle. They have kept the same back line and added Rice, Timber and possibly Raya. All signings to improve the team defensively.

Top 5 system changes ahead of the new #FPL season (THREAD)

Klopp making Trent play in midfield, Pep doing the same with Stones and Xhaka getting into the box while scoring goals

Things change from season to season, these are my top five changes that will impact FPL this season LIVERPOOL

In GW30 last season, Klopp changed the system and started to play with Trent as an inverted fullback. It worked well for them, but this season with the signings of Mac Allister and Szobozslai it so far in preseason seems like that system has changed. It’s not a...

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗣𝗟 🧵

Last season we had Haaland, Mitoma, Alvarez and Darwin who all impacted our FPL season in a way or another

Which new players could impact our season the most? Here are my top 10 and why... ⤵️ André Onana £5.0m (13.6%)

The 27-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper signed for Man Utd for €52.5m to be their replacement for De Gea. De Gea who in recent years has never really been a great option in FPL, at least not to start the season.

Alexander Isak (THREAD) 🧵

The 6 foot 4 Swedish striker now seems set to join Newcastle Utd for a club record fee

Of course I had to do a breakdown of what he will bring to the Premier League ⤵️ Alexander Isak started off his career at AIK when he broke into the first team as a 16-year-old, scoring 10 goals in 19 starts in his debut season.

The hype around him in Sweden was quickly built up and ahead of the 16/17 season he was sold to Dortmund for €8.60m. This...

Yesterday I talked about how Burnley, Norwich, Leeds and Newcastle have been the worst defenses this season

Here is a thread looking at when teams face some of these defences in successive fixtures ASTON VILLA (GW24-28)

Wolves breakdown analysis (THREAD)

As a neutral fan of the Premier League, Wolves is the team that I have enjoyed watching the most so far. Lage has made a very significant impact in a very short amount of time which has led to plenty of FPL options in various positions ⤵️ The reason behind doing a breakdown of one team like this which I normally don’t do, apart from that I’ve enjoyed watching them, is their brilliant fixture run that goes all the way to GW14. It makes a lot of their players valuable options for many gameweeks to come

1. White (4.5)

Will play every minute when fit for a defense that conceded the 3rd fewest goals in the league last season and had the 4th best xGC. Arsenal have a great fixture run from GW4 and onwards

Group C analysis in EURO 2021 (Thread) #EuroFantasy

Ukraine 🇺🇦
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Austria 🇦🇹
North Macedonia 🇲🇰

Time to look at all the teams in Group C which is what maybe looks like the worst group on paper. General info, predicted lineups and which fantasy assets to select ⤵️ UKRAINE - @FPLUkraine

General info:
As you may know, our head coach is Shevchenko, his assistant is Tassotti. Milan's former great defender. That's why we are pretty good defensively. Our weak point is a lack of great forwards, those we have are unstable and not in good form.
