The start of the new season of the Premier League is near, so we watch all the details in the pre-season preparing for the clubs, and it seems that we still have some dilemmas in selecting the best team.
New season, new prices of the players, so Fantasy Premier League managers has many options how to make the final team selection for the new season.
Lets start with this draft with the premium picks Erling Haaland (FWD, 15.0m) and Mohamed Salah (MID, 12,5m).
Goalkeapers: (2×5.0m) = more than a solid rotation
At goalkeapers options we’ve got Jordan Pickford (5.0m) from Everton, and Bernd Leno (5.0m) from Fulham, and maybe this is the best duo for a more than solid rotation, and also a option for a long.
Defence: Is this enough to cover Alexander-Arnold?
At the defence line, there are Pedro Porro (5.5m) from Tottenham, Josko Gvardiol (6.0m) and Dan Burn (4.5m) from Newcastle, and maybe they are making all in the team for GW1, the dilemma for now is Burn, as he can be replaced with some other pick.
To be honest, we wanted to cover Jarrad Branthwaite (DEF, 5.0m) from Everton with his teammate, the goalkeeper Pickford, and also, We think it is very important to keep an eye on the progress from Lucas Digne (DEF, 4.5m) from Aston Villa, as his minutes maybe are at risk for the new season, but if he is a regular starter, then my pick would be him.
As bench options, there are Taylor Harwood-Bellis (4.0m) from Southampton and Valentin Barco (4.0m) from Brighton, who impresses in the pre-season friendlies in Pervis Estupinan’s (5.0m) absence. For Barco, we would add that you should wait till GW4 to play him, because, before that, his opponents are very hard, and they are Everton (A), Manchester United (H), and Arsenal (A).
Main dilemma: Can we cover Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.0 m) with these options? Liverpool opening fixtures are great, but the price of Arnold is big, and if you choose him, maybe you need to remove two solid players from your teams. Is it worth it? Maybe, and maybe not.
Midfield: Two budget midfielders with a price of 4.5m, and Can Nkunku cover Palmer?
At midfield, we’ve got budget players with a price of just 4.5 million, such regular starters as Massimo Luongo from Ipswich and Harry Winks from Leicester.
The main question, and also a dilemma: Can Christopher Nkunku (MID, 6.5m) cover Cole Palmer (MID, 10.5m)?
Well, according to the form of Nkunku at the pre-season, yes, it’s possible, and he is also opening the door for Erling Haaland (FWD, 15.0m) in your team. Palmer is the first penalty taker at Chelsea, but his teammate, Nkunku, has a fantastic position at Fantasy Premier League, as he is a midfielder, and also more than a solid price.
With this draft, there is also a place for Mohamed Salah (12.5m), the Liverpool star who has over 200 points in the Fantasy Premier League seven seasons in a row. And there is a place for Callum Hudson-Odoi (5.5 m) from Nottingham Forest. 8 green fixtures for Hudson-Odoi in the first 10 gameweeks, more than a solid price, and good position of the player who can bring you many returns.
Atack: Three premium atackers
Ollie Watkins (9.0 m) from Aston Villa, Alexander Isak (8.5 m) from Newcastle, and the most expensive player, Erling Haaland (15.0 m) from Manchester City.
