Now that looks really solid. Plenty of good DefCon options in there and Gross/DCL providing great value. BB1 plan looks well-thought-out too!
I like the Lammens/Verbruggen rotation, so would probably lean towards him and Rodon myself. Also good to have triple Utd in place for Hull and Ipswich.
9/10

Some good picks in there. I definitely wouldn’t bench Shaw against Hull though!
Would try and upgrade Dubravka to a playing £4.5m if you want to Bench Boost early.
I’m not convinced by Villa assets to begin with and Tarkowski’s a bit of a luxury at his premium price. I’d swap Guehi to Gvardiol, who looks more likely to start GW1 as it stands.
6/10
Mostly solid enough. But Bruno G’s move to Arsenal could lessen his appeal if he loses set pieces. Could look at Le Fee/Odegaard or maybe a gamble on Foden instead?
Would also think about upgrading Dovin to a starting £4.5m GK so you have the option of an early Bench Boost. Could downgrade Maguire to Shaw if you need funds.
7.5/10
Pretty safe and well-balanced team overall. Great value picks like Gross/DCL to fund the two heavy hitters.
Only thing is Brighton’s fixture away at Chelsea may not be the best to target on your GW2 BB. Could swap Verbuggen to Petrovic or Rushworth, who have decent-looking home games.
8/10
@Velichkov10@FFH_HQ Nice and solid team all round. I like the use of £4.5m defenders to strengthen the BB. Gross and DCL look great value.
Schade’s minutes maybe a bit more at risk now Jaidon Anthony has move to Brentford. Ndiaye still one to monitor with his transfer situation.
8/10
Now that is different! No Bruno or Haaland but lots of mid-priced options throughout as a result.
Still, I’d probably want one of the heavy hitters rather than relying solely on Palmer for captaincy. Unless you’re planning a GW2 Wildcard to address that after BB is out the way.
Eze one to monitor as he’ll return late to pre-season after the World Cup and Arsenal have new signings in Bruno G/Tzolis that could threaten his gamete.
6.5/10
Decent balance across the squad. Light in defence but I don’t mind it to fit in Bruno and Haaland.
Looks like you’re planning an early Bench Boost but Thomas better for GW2 while Palmer/Gross/Aina better for GW1. Also have the issue of Sunderland players vs Ipswich players if going GW1 BB.
I’d try and hone in on which week you want to BB and make a few tweaks from there to maximise your potential returns.
6.5/10
Pretty well-balanced. I like the Man Utd triple up and great that you’ve fit Semenyo in alongside both the heavy hitters.
Have to monitor Rogers for GW1 - small chance he gets eased in after the World Cup/lack of pre-season, similar deal with Guehi too but the Community Shield will tell us more.
Bench is a little thin but that’s fine if you’ve ruled out an early BB.
7/10
I’m assuming that’s a GW1 Bench Boost? If so, the balance looks pretty good. Brobbey/Xhaka cheap and cheerful for Sunderland’s good opening two matches.
Have to monitor Ndiaye’s transfer situation and distinct lack of Man Utd assets, considering they face Hull and Ipswich.
Slight risk with Saka as he’ll be late to start pre-season after the World Cup - I’d be tempted to downgrade him to Mbeumo.
7/10
Fairly strong with the focus on your starting XI. Fitting in Palmer, Bruno and Haaland is impressive!
Kerkez is an interesting shout now that Robertson’s gone and reunited with his former boss Iraola. Hume great if he keeps starting in OOP in midfield but have to monitor that closer to GW1.
Maybe could do with a bit more focus on your bench though, depending on your early chip strategy. Could always downgrade Sarr to Gross or Maguire to Shaw for extra funds.
7.5/10
Looks solid enough. Both heavy hitters in there, plus triple Man Utd but still well-balanced. Sangare looks a really interesting buy and perfect for your strategy targeting DefCons.
Bruno, Haaland and maybe Joao Pedro should have you covered for captaincy options in the first five.
Maybe a tad safe for my personal taste but that’s to be expected when targeting DefCons over the more explosive attackers like Semenyo/Mbeumo, etc.
8.5/10
Really strong draft. Fit in both Fernandes and Haaland but still managed to find value and a good balance throughout with bargains like Gross/DCL.
Have to monitor Ndiaye’s transfer situation - Le Fee probably the go-to replacement if he does leave.
Only thing that would worry me is the exit plan after BB1 - does it force a WC in GW2?
8/10
Having both Bruno Fernandes and Haaland along with a couple of premium defenders leaves you looking a little unbalanced I’d say. Maybe overly reliant on the promoted sides with McBurnie and Clarke in your XI.
Bruno G’s move to Arsenal could lessen his appeal if he loses set pieces, Robertson competing with Spence/Udogie at left-back.
Also have to monitor Guehi’s readiness for GW1 after going deep with England at the World Cup - I’d be tempted to swap him to Gvardiol to start the season with.
6/10
Dewsbury-Hall and Calvert-Lewin are solid picks. Wirtz an interesting one and should kick on in his second season you’d imagine.
Distinct lack of Man Utd assets though - I’d ideally want Fernandes but at least one of Mbeumo/Cunha failing that. Have to monitor Saka/O’Reilly as they’ll be late back to pre-season along with other players who went deep at the World Cup.
Think there’s safer budget forward options than Richarlison to start with too - Brobbey or Igor Jesus perhaps.
6/10
A lot of differentials in there! I like how you’ve spread the cash around with no Haaland - big fan of the Semenyo pick.
That said, there’s a few too many risks for my liking - Yoro may start but Maguire/Shaw look safer for now. Lacroix looks expensive when there’s cheaper routes into Chelsea’s defence and his DefCon numbers may drop.
Need to monitor Rice/O’Reilly’s readiness for GW1 as they’ll be late back to pre-season along with other players who went deep at the World Cup.
6.5/10
@JamesFPL_@FFH_HQ Reasonably balanced to say you’ve fit in both Fernandes and Haaland. Don’t mind the double Utd defence as a compromise for no Mbeumo.
Wonder if it might force an early WC though, with Sunderland/Man Utd fixtures turning quite sharply after GW2?
