Nice initial draft. I’m going with Haaland (Isak, João Pedro) and without Watkins, Salah, and Foden. Trent and Saliba with three 4.5m defenders, and a slew of 6.5m-7.5m midfielders. You were by far the best FPL content creator last season (besides FPL Tips 🐐) and think your channel will grow exponentially this season. Also, congrats on Spain winning the Euros.

[Maxrodon]

Love the squad, a player that would be harder to ignore now, is Saka given he was one of the most foaled players last season and he shares set piece duties including penalties, he will be a BPS magnet that would be harder to ignore in my opinion

[petervossos]

Love the videos Fran, looking forward to another season of your fantastic content 🎉

[YNWA-Anca]

This season prices look to me like inflation without a pay rise. 😂

Hi Fran, hope you're well. Glad to see you back posting again! I'm currently looking at my first draft but missing 0.5 somewhere. I don't love Eze as a pick without seeing his output without Olise but last year that logic spoiled me of probably 40 points so I'm trying not to make that mistake again😅It's probably between Gordon and Eze atm. Anyone you prefer here?:

GK: Sanchez / 4.0
Def: Trent / Gvardio / Burn / Taylor / Konsa
Mid: Knkunku / Eze / Salah / Foden / Gordon
Atk: Watkins / Isak / Pedro

Nice draft. Palmer was the top scoring FPL player last year though and he didn’t even play the first 7 or 8 games! Plus Chelsea’s fixtures are amazing from GW2 - seems a bit crazy to go without him?

[chrisrichards]

I really like the first draft fran. I feel another arsenal player is a must despite there fixtures not being great.

[OceanLoader]

Nice draft Fran. I haven't given it much thought since the season is still a few weeks away and there will be lots of pre-season games to take in, but this draft won't be too far away from the eventual non-Halaand template. Watkins and Isak feel like no-brainer picks. Senenyo is a good shout. Serious doubts over Liverpool tho, who burned me more than most teams last season. I feel like they will struggle for both goals and clean sheets initially.

[reubenwizard]

Thoughts on going with 3 4 million defenders that you just rotate around to pick your 3rd defender slot each gameweek?

100k subs in no time! Keep it up legend

[kareemsadek]

Yo hope you are doing well. What are your thoughts on going a bit cheaper on the defense and going all in with Salah and Haaland in a draft together. I'm also thinking about potentially taking out Salah and Gordon for Foden and Palmer, i know the combined points looks like it would favour the latter option but I feel like a big part of that was because of Salah's decreased minutes last season. I also feel like Palmer overperformed and don't know if he'll hit the same numbers this season. Let me know what you think of the team, probably going to play a 343 especially if Pedro has good minutes.


GK: Sanchez / Fabianski
Def: Trent / Mykolenko / Burn / Harwood-Bels / Konsa
Mid: Nkunku / Eze / Salah / Winks / Gordon
Atk: Haaland / Isak / Pedro

[DrWaleedKhokhar]

Overall a good team. Only one question: How to cover Arsenal attack with this?
Rice worth a pick?

[KSutton]

I feel like palmer is a MUST idk he's just so bloody good lol this year is hard to pick midfield

[Hussain-]

I really like the idea of a strong defence i think adam armstrong the Southampton foreward is on pens so am thinkihg of having him to enable palmer and nkunku but unsure with having this much chelsea early on

[patchh]

Awesome draft! Where is the fixtures difficulty table from? Feel I need one of these for all season 😂

[MissNoopy]

Very good draft, thank you for sharing. Is Sánchez now recovered from injury?

[rpanneto]

What news on Sanchez over petrovic? Good draft I’ve got about 11 the same, I’ve gone for gibbs white instead of nkunku and

[petergaskin]

Will the cheat sheet be coming out nearer the start of the season or will you do one sooner? I love the cheat sheet. Also I really like the semenyo shout.

[TheChewsta]

I knew you wouldn't leave out Gvardiol 😊. I didnt have eze or semenyo in my first draft but i like them both a lot, so could bring them in. I'm gonna go palmer over salah though. And same front line but i have big Chrissy Wood right now 😁
