Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19
Oh yeah, with FPL back that also means ‘Bore off’ returns. I have went back to that old well and gathered the 3 amigos up for you to get their thoughts on some of the questions that we all want answered as the season draws closer.
For those that don’t know them or don’t know them well, let me introduce you to them.
Init is one of our site owners, he enjoys being a disciplinarian, hates typos and those with a lack of attention to detail. He also would prefer to not take walks on the beach and is not fond of puppies. Other than that, he is a great guy.
Cookie is also a site owner. He lives in Monaco, enjoys laying on the beach and taking pictures while he drinks his wine. He doesn’t like to hear about the details and enjoys typos.
Kop also a site owner and overall grouch, might be last on this list, but he is certainly not least, in particular in the grumpy category. If you ever need a pick me up, look somewhere else!!
Ok, enough of the heartfelt intros, let’s get it on!
FPL FIXTURE TRACKER
(It’s scrollable btw, just swipe left or right)
FIXTURE TRACKER LINK
It’s been a busy summer already with Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Chelsea appointing new managers, Manchester City adding to their already dominant squad, Man Utd continuing to splash the cash and Liverpool trying to protect Karius by beefing up their midfield. Spurs may even have a new home soon.
And FPL wise, this is the place to discuss strategy, learn about the promoted teams and their players while in the days and weeks to come we’ll have plenty of articles, interviews, player analysis, Bore Offs, Tips, etc, etc.
So be sure to get involved in the discussions, the RMTs and the banter as we look forward to another season of Fantasy fun!

Init needs a slap for ‘bottom 3’.
Favourites to win the league ain’t they. Triple coverage is a must
Good read. It’s always good to see what other people’s plans are. Anyway regarding Lookman at 5.5m, I think he’s gone. Everton I think will 100% sell Lookman as the player himself wants the move. Those Red Bull guy’s will keep in with a bigger bid and then it’s bye bye.
Hope you’re wrong Ant. Seems such a shame and a waste to be selling players like that whilst tabling big bids for relative unknowns like Malcolm. Silva did say Lookman was firmly in his plans but as you say depends what he wants himself. Wait & see.
Ant and Init – Any truth behind Mina going to your lot? I know he’s being touted for a move away from Barca but I heard/hoped the Reds were going for him?
Been rumoured but that’s all so far. Obviously if you nip in then he’d be daft not to go to that side of the park instead.
He be a better fit with Everton.
Besides VvD will play and we know Lovren is a great defender, so no room for Mina there.
Lovren is fantastic. According to Lovren. I was rather imaging a VVD / Mina partnership but you know him better than me. Is he not better than the self styled greatest defender ever?
The whispers seem to be that the Alisson transfer will be the last one for this window and the focus will now be on trimming out some of the dead wood.
I could start a rumour, like Ings back to Burnley.
I spoke a Soton season ticket holder who reckons they are after Ings
Would love to see Ings do well.
I’m hopeful he will find a regular starting berth somewhere. His price is very appealing.
Love it boys! Great laugh as always.
One question I have that I’d like opinions on is:
With attackers and midfielders being a bit more difficult to pick due to WC duty or rotation worries. Do you guys think an early WC is important this season and to set up for the first 5/6 weeks so we see which players are playing, bargains appear and we just get a more general idea of how managers are thinking?
Is Lovren likely to be first choice. I know he might miss first game but is he likely to get nod over Matip
Yeah I don’t see Matip being a regular in the side. Wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves but that is less likely.
Yeah I want a Liverpool defender just unsure who to go with. I hate spending 6 million on a defender and Liverpool have some good potential players at 5 million
Yeah I actually teetering between Lovren and Robertson right now. There was only 1 point between the two last season so for a mil less you might not be too far off points wise. Only thing that is making me favour Robertson right now is the fact I don’t really know what to do with the left over mil.
Matt – are people avoiding TAA because we think he’ll be rotated with Gomez or drop to the bench entirely? Could they not lineup Robertson – VVD – Lovren – TAA ?
Hey Colriles. I’m ignoring TAA because I feel he might get rotated. He’s faces competition from Gomez and Clyne so Klopp can rest him. Unless Klopp comes out and says TAA is his RB I’m leaving him out. Best way into Liverpools team right now is VVD or Robertson. No WC and no competition to face really.
Fulham signing jean michael serri passed me buy. I don’t think he’ll be good fpl wise but what a coup for Fulham.
Cheers fellas, loved it as always. “Kop – where dreams go to die.” :big-lol:
