Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2019-20
Guess who’s back, back again….
With the fpl season getting closer and closer to starting, it is of course time for Bore Off to also kickoff. I have gathered the three originals, as is tradition for each first edition of the new season. As always a new season brings new hope. Hopefully this article helps a little, but not too much.
Looking back through the first Bore Off from last season, I noticed that the Amigos had many things right. All 3 had Salah as the first person in their team sheet, they were all for the LFC double up in midfield with Mane, which would have worked out well for any manager who did. Cookie and Kop were talking about a back four and in Cookie’s case he was talking up a 5 back. Cookie was ahead of his time! Init had his eye on Milivojevic and Cookie said this “Mili is obviously great for a penalty every time Zaha falls over”. Kop talked about a possible golden boot for Auba and was hopeful that Allison would sign for LFC.
Hopefully they can replicate some of their good calls for this upcoming season, let’s see what they have to say.

Heres my ‘mess about team’, gone in heavy on keeper and 4 defenders. Do have , Mo, Raheem and Harry aswell.
There’s gloomy talk about Everton’s defence now that its shield has run off to Paris.
Is this your main team or just a larky B-team?
Der ! ‘Mess about team’ Kralin.
Sometimes I’m not 100% sure I’m jawing with someone whose first language is English. Your post had a lot of jumbled syntax. Things can get lost in translation.
Post your main team and I’ll gladly comment on it. B teams exhaust me.
It definitely isn’t. He’s a scouser.
Calm down ! Calm down !
Evening all are you guys going with three big hitters so weaker def or 4/5 big def say two cheap fwds what the general feeling????
I’m going in with TAA/Robbo/Zinchenko/5m placeholder/4m hope he starts option (currently on Lundstram).
Up front Wilson and a 6.5 Watford player, haven’t decided which yet, at the moment it’s Deeney.
Is that to go along with a 4.5 bench fodder striker?
Yes.
Think I’m waiting for a good 4.5-5 million defender or a 6-6.5 mid to emerge before deciding on whether to go with the big three. Still waiting on transfers etc
This Pepe looks like a handful what price do you thk he will be
I’m guessing 8.5 but I’m really not sure
Do you thk he starts str away if so where
Probably on the right of a front three
Yeah – SSK and play 3-4-3
What are the thoughts on Kane I have never been a fan but you can’t argue with his stats
Two good home games out of the first three makes him very appealing. However I can’t manage him with my current defensive arrangments – have gone for Sterling. Plus I’ll be captaining Salah in GW1 (and 2 probably).
I may bottle it and go for him but at the moment he’s one for the future for me.
It’s a bloody conundrum to Kane or not to Kane :whacky:
: Whacky : why are my emojis not working
We’ve disabled them. They were causing issues elsewhere. Just waiting for a suitable replacement to be installed.
I try to be chilled about that sort of thing (Kane, not the emoji crisis gripping the site).
I wouldn’t be captaining him (Kane) even if I had him. Hopefully the rest of my side can keep up. And he can always come in. If the game were just for one week he’d be in the side and I’d be sweating over him or Salah for the TC.
You know you want him Kralin
You mean in a latent sense?
There have been a few good sides posted that include Sterling, Kane and Salah. It is do-able if one’s prepared to compromise (as in the old days – of every season up to now) on the defence.
Yeah, in the sense that you will inevitably be lured into him as we approach the deadline and he keeps scoring in those friendlies, leading you to destroy the strong defense to pieces to fit him in at all costs.
Are you going with all three DMC?
I believe so smash. Will see what the cup shows in terms of Man City and tweak it during next week.
Yes Kralin I’ve been toying with Wilson & Duffle but King is a good option at 6.5m his stats are good a lot of touches in the box & shots
I think the Wilson/Fraser duo is a good attacking one – which is why I’ve gone for it. But for sure, King is not a dud option at all and if I didn’t have Wilson I would almost certainly have him in my side for the start of the season.
Love a GABO. Cheers guys!
Can’t decide…Lloris or Pickford? Who would you go with? Fancy Lloris but his GW2 against MC not so hot.
Would love to get Zouma, but waiting to see when he starts.
Here is my team for now. Kralin if you are around, please take a look. Appreciate all comments.
Hi Bees
I reckon if I was you I would downgrade Wilson to King and upgrade Coleman and Lloris to Ederson and Digne.
Rest of the team looks good.
Hi bees
I reckon if I were you I would downgrade Wilson for King and upgrade Lloris and Coleman to Ederson and Digne.
Thanks Horse. I am like Kralin, a little leary of Everton. I think Coleman will mostly do as well as Digne (if the end of last season is anything to go by).
I am not so into King…I think Wilson a much stronger option. Would love to have Ederson, but maybe after WC.
All the best to you.
I’m hoping to get away with not owning / observe Everton in GWs 1 and 2. Their fixtures are really nice after that (if things are looking sunny for them form wise).
There seems to be a mixture of anticipation / anxiety / overthinking about Everton’s defence – by me, anyway. I’ve decided to stay away for now – it could change – and see how they get on before committing.
Personally I’d keep Wilson. Jota’s fine – have thought about him myself – the midfield looks good. Can’t really argue with the team Bees. Mine doesn’t differ much. I’ve gone for a cheap goalkeeper and have Perez instead of Tielemans. A Watford attacker. Robbo instead of VVD.
Agree Kralin. I too am not so sure about Everton. They do have great match ups, so hoping that all will be well. At least with the Watford attacker, it is easy to switch to Jota if needed. WOL have a lousy start, so you may be better off with him. It is all such a guessing game.
Thanks for your input.
