FPL 2026/27 Rate My Team

Welcome to FPL 2026/27 Rate My Team

Hello everyone and welcome to any new joiners for the coming season. We hope you’ve all enjoyed the summer time and some well deserved time off, or well, some time off either way!

A new season is dawning and already just shy of two weeks from now we’ll see Arsenal kick off the season against newly promoted Coventry City on Fri. 21st of August at the Emirates stadium. ‘The battle of set-pieces’ as one could call it; Coventry is probably the only team who have matched the Gunners on net goal difference from set pieces. Alas, that was not in the big boys’ league.

Before then there’s the community shield on Sun 16th where Gunners are facing Manchester City, the highlight of which will likely be their respective starting line-ups (including whether you-know-who might start or follow from a live-stream on a yacht somewhere).

Anyhow. We’ve had to remind ourselves that we are now at the helm of the 2026/27 season. Seasons come and go as they say. As it happens, so do managers. There’s wholesome 9 new EPL managers (11 if we include Carrick and Se Zerbi) and just five of them were in place at the start of the 2024/25 season. And that’s a pain in the… Ahem. That’s not making the expected lineups nor picking a starting team any easier, is what we were saying…
When it comes to our beloved FPL game there’s been a few changes to the game and player positions, we recommend you give it a quick read here. The biggest change is probably that they have added their own price predictor. However, the good news is they’re keeping the chips as they were – one less thing to think about!
The bad news is that the bench boost is then very much still a thing. Oh well. On that note, some seem to be going BB1 (Bloody Bugger off #1) and others seem quite keen on BB2 (Bloody bugger off again!); each with their elaborate reasoning, which, in short, can be summarized as ‘at least I’ve then used that bloody bugger of a chip’.

 

We aim to keep going, and keep going we shall. We suggest you all get started in the comments with helpful observations, recommendations and sharing your teams (or asking for help on your drafts of course). In the meantime we will work on preparing the site team and the season to come.

The new season has also brought a tremendous amount of new signings, including some known characters such as Tonali (5.5 to Spurs), Rogers (7.5 to Chels), Bruno G. (7.0 to Arsenal) and Senesi (6.0 to Spurs); as well as some new players to the EPL such as C. Tzolis (6.5 mid to Arsenal), M. Sangare (5.5 mid to Bees) and Florentino (5.0 mid to Ipswich) to name a few. Unfortunately we’re running out of both space and time and so, if we can find the time, we will try and put some words to the new signings on another day.

 

As ever then please feel free to use the opportunity in the comments below to post as many ‘RATE MY TEAM’ attempts as you wish and to then hopefully also help other members by reciprocating.

Good luck to you all! May you all pick a worse team than us! kiss—

  1. Use an extra .5 to upgrade to BRE Sangare or to upgrade to Muhamerovic?
    Cheers!

  2. Still tinkering, just made 5 changes watching the community shield. Tzolis and Calafiori look bright. Thoughts?

    • Wouldn’t touch Foden with a barge pole mate.

    • I’d wouldn’t have triple City after that match today. I’m not sure about having any City players after today honestly.

      • I agree, I had three but then dropped them except Haaland.

        The issue I have with this team is trying to rotate the third good forward with a good midfielder, imo you need to decide 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, both DCL and LeFee are good for goals and idk when I try rotating the benched player always scores more.

  3. City not looking good in the Community Shield match. Haaland off at 53 minutes. Makes you wonder don’t it?

    • Yep. They are pretty poor. Don’t like the new coach. I took Gvardiol out of my team until they show some promise. Semenyo may go too.

      • Semenyo didn’t do much but he is still on the pitch and doesn’t have a yellow.

        • LOL…think I expect a bit more for 8.5 laugh

        • True

        • He’s been pretty good in pre season though

        • He also had a decent amount of attacking output- on another day City would’ve had a goal or two. Aside from Donnarumma’s performance and their defensive line (especially right side) I’m not too worried about city

      • Makes me question giving Haaland the armband GW1 too.

        • Will give it a few weeks for things to shake out so perhaps this is a more solid starting team

  4. Just noticed Odegaard is only £6.5m. Could be a good option

  5. That looks okay for BB, but I think you could probably get a better forward line

    • I am crap at responding in the right place!

      • Nah, the site doesn’t respond well to mobiles.

  6. Hey everyone,
    Further to recent events (i.e. Community Shield), am toying with the idea of changing Wirtz to Odegaard and maybe getting in Konsa or Robbo to replace one of the 4.0 lads.
    AND upgrading Gross to someone juicer. What do you think?
    Would gimme the following
    Kinsky – Verb (or Rushworth)
    Califiori – Maguire – Neco W – Konsa – dash2Thomas
    Odegaard – Szobo – Bruno – Tzolis – Gross( or up to 6m replacement)
    JP – Haaland – DCL.
    Reasonable, or too bandwagon-ish?
    See yahs all! AJW;)

    • Mate Odegaard has had one decent game. Hold off and see how it goes with him. Many other options

      • Okay Bees – I see what you mean (Hold your horses AJW, you’ve got a fine squad as is!). I’m quite often guilty of being a bit impetuous.
        Yeah, I’ll just go with the team I originally submitted!
        Thanks Bees! smile

        • It’s now quite similar:
          Kinsky- Verb
          Calafiori – Maguire – Konsa – Robbo(Rodon?) – Thomas
          Wirtz – Szobo – Bruno – Tsolis – Gross
          DCL – JP – Erling
          …And I feel fine!
          smile

    • Having both Odegaard and Tzolis is a bit too much for me, I think only the latter is needed currently.
