The Official TSR Fantasy Premier League 2018/19

Anybody else got Felipe Anderson down as guaranteed flop this season?

I am struggling to put together a team with the WC influence on the big teams.

Old TSRian here, not posted in years but saw the league when I logged into the game, alright if I join ?

Team name - Silva Lining.

Current draft team below - slightly concerned I have too little team variation, but hard to find decent value players who haven't been at the World Cup, probably looking at an early wildcard.

Right, first time i've had a look. A lot tricker than normal this year with so many big names at the World Cup.

Aside from the obvious teams, Everton's first few fixtures look great. Coleman and Tosun are in my team for now.

Too scared to go without Salah despite his price.

For sure. If Salah grabs a brace in the first game of the season where everyone has captained him, you're going to feel like **** and probably need to early WC/multi hit to get him in. A lot easier to start with him as he's easily downgrade-able.

My drafts until this morning we’re without Salah, but with so many big players out, Sanchez, Aguero and Mahrez becoming poor options, I decided to drop Firmino and fit in Salah (obviously alongside Mane and Robbo). Can’t risk essentially a 100% ownership (half the players will all captain him). **** that.

Where the strikers at? Trying to avoid World Cup players as much as possible but think I'll have to go with Firmino.

Think stacking Liverpool and City players is the safest option, and maybe a couple of Everton guys given their game. New manager uncertainty for Arsenal/Chelsea, Mourinho uncertainty for Man Utd, and the obvious Spurs picks seem particularly affected by the World Cup.

Inherent Everton-ness and Silva throwing his toys out of the pram by November and walking off could be a big issue.

Apart from their spectacular hammering of top quality Austrian pub opposition, I think they have had a pretty poor pre-season.

Yeah but who from City? KDB and Silva won’t start, Aguero should but he came back from preseason the day Jesus did so can’t guarantee he’s a good captain choice for GW2, Sane is fatigued and Mahrez is on crutches. I’m avoiding to begin with.

But yeah, triple Liverpool to begin with is the sensible decision.

Man City's fixtures GW2-7 are too good to ignore but there's no stand out option, it's so frustrating. I have Aguero, Mendy & Mahrez currently but i'm not fully convinced on any of them. Not touching Ederson as he'll never get any save points.

Also if anyone has Manchester United players i'd advise you remove them ASAP. We're an absolute mess.



Arnautovic and Zaha have been on fire in pre season and look like they'll be a good pick for the third striker slot.
