FPL First Draft Update

I'm still fairly happy with the first draft team I posted over a week ago now. It's mainly the forward position and my bench that I'm still playing around with. Pretty much three positions.

(the three problem positions)

I'm now finding myself having cold feet about Sharp. He's 33 so may not be guaranteed the minutes I was hoping for. Plus Sheffield United have now signed another two attacking players. Lys Mousset from Bournemouth and Callum Robinson from Preston North End.

Mousset is only 5m on FPL, which is a very nice price if he plays. So he now enters the equation. Robinson is down as a midfielder so I can discount him. Newcastle are also currently in the process of signing the Brazilian forward Joelinton. So it'll be very interesting to see how he's priced, as with Newcastle's current lack of options he'll almost certainly be a starter.

Villa have also signed the Brazilian forward Wesley Moraes who's priced at 6m - the same as Sharp. He could be a good alternative if he's their first choice forward.

I'm actually enjoying selecting the forwards. I'm definitely sticking with super cheap options, so it's quite fun trying to find the value. I can't say the same for the fifth midfield position though. The options in the 4.5m bracket are just terrible. Many people are going with Leander Dendoncker, who seems like the best pick at the moment. I'll probably end up going that way too, but I'm a little unsure about going with Wolves players. Mainly because of the Europa League. Plus you'd expect they'll make some signings sooner or later. He does look fairly nailed on as it stands though.

It feels a bit boring picking a player everyone will have. Especially when you can gamble a little bit with the bench options, but if it makes obvious sense then I guess that's the way to go.

People might be a little bit sniffy when they see Kanté in the above line up, but I'm sticking with him as it stands as he feels like a very safe option. He plays, so at that price I'm happy. Greenwood is a free hit at 4.5m so I'm happy with that choice too.

In fact, as with Kanté, given I'm going so cheap up top I'm just looking for any players that play to fill the other two striker slots. If I can find two regular starters for under 6m that'll be very nice.
