My FPL Preparations with a Glance at Man United.
Sincere apologies to everyone I have disappointed with my inconsistencies around here with my posts, I have had a lot to take care of off the Internet but I am here again, and I promise to be even more active than ever before!
MY FPL JOURNEY BEGINS!
Due to Manchester United's terrible situations last season, I lost interest in the FPL so early last season and decided to comeback again this season.
If I would be sincere with myself, I actually had sentiments affected the manner at which I managed my FPL squad last season but now I've to realize that I need to be open minded if I really do want to understand and enjoy the results that comes out of my FPL team.
Starting with the new signings for my attack, even though they lack EPL experience, I am convinced that both Nunez and Haaland are going to deliver lots of Goals this season considering the resources they both have available in their respective teams.
Although, I would have loved to secure G. Jesus that's currently making the pitch hot with Arsenal but one can't have them all. This season actually has a lot of good Strikers fit and ready to play, and for me, I would love to believe that there'll be so much goals this season and underdog teams would have enough reasons to cry (LOL).
I didn't invest that much on my bench but I made sure I had some players who are likely to be starters for their teams except Eric Bailly of Manchester United;
For me, I think it would be rather risky to pick players from the United squad as it seems to me that it's only Bruno Fernandes only is certain to be part of Erik Ten Hag's starting line ups.
So, I decided to take the risk as I picked Sancho alongside Bruno from Manchester United for my FPL squad. I kept my midfield on an average level as Bruno seems to be the most expensive but nonetheless, I trust even single pick I made for my midfield because these players are key players in their respective teams.
With Zaha, Mahrez, and Neto, I am expecting juicy results from my midfield but at the same time, I feel I might chance Neto even before the season starts, still on a fence with my final decision on that.
BACK TO UNITED!
I thing I have noticed and I am come to agree with watching United matches so far in the preseason is that: the team has started playing a type of football that the fans would be willing to watch at any point in time.
Today's match ended in a defeat by Atletico Madrid but to be sincere, I personally feel and I am convinced that majority of the fans who watched the match today were definitely happy to see what the United team played.
United is currently playing with so much promise at the moment and funny how the players making the promises are the same player who were terrible last season;
Considering United's new signings and the new mentality, we should be good for a top four fight this season. Tomorrow would be another friendly game which I feel all the players would be available including Cristiano since its going to be at Old Trafford.
I feel it would really be nice to see Martinez, Erikson and Ronaldo starts tomorrow at least to show the strengths of the quality players that United is keeping for a huge reason this season before the season starts properly.
