Your 15 vs Free Picking All Others

Post by Cliffard »

Here's a hypothetical dilemma:

Would you choose your current squad of 15 players

OR

a squad of 15 players of your choice, where 1) PRICE IS NO RESTRICTION, but 2) you can't choose any player you already own.


My current (3-5-2):

Forster, Jakupovic

Shaw, McAuley, Koné, Collins, Amat

Payet, Sanchez, Antonio, Firmino, Capoue

Agüero, Lukaku, Diomande

What I would get (whatever):

Bravo, Lloris

Coleman, Alderweireld, Bellerin, Shaw, Ivanovic

De Bruyne, Hazard, Mané, Sterling, Özil

Costa, Ibrahimovic, Vardy


Only in defence is the free picks team vastly superior, and the goalkeepers are slightly better (PPG: Lloris 4.7, Jakupovic and Forster 4.6, Bravo 4.0).
Front 7 out of 8 is hard to call. Right now:

Sanchez > KdB (over the next 5 fixtures, imo)
Firmino = Mané
Payet > Hazard
Antonio > Sterling (slightly, imo)
Capoue > Özil (tough, but Capoue has both form and fixtures)

Forwards ranked: 1 Agüero 2 Lukaku 3 Ibrahimovic 4 Costa 5 Vardy

It's actually close, this. Does the defence make the free picks team the best?

My current (3-4-3):

Foster, Jakupovic
Valencia, Baines, Evans, Mee, Amat
Lallana, Sanchez, Antonio, Sterling, Capoue
Agüero, Lukaku, Janssen


All Others:

Cech, Gomes (them fixtures)
Coleman, Alderweireld, Bellerin, Holebas, Rose(if healthy)
De Bruyne, Hazard, Firmino, Mane, Payet
Costa, Ibrahimovic, I really don't know, maybe Vardy

All Others wins I think.

I'm half way through a second bottle of Pinot Grigio & this appears to be overthinking :shock:

When I have sunk the rest of the bottle clarity will of course descend :lol:

Holebas is a great option at the minute, and absolutely nailed on in that 4.5m slot in my wildcard team. He is playing virtually as a winger, has a healthy share of set pieces, and the fixtures for the next few are about as good as it gets.

Sanchez / KDB / Mane / Payet / Eriksen
Ibra / Costa / Vardy

De Gea/Lloris
Bellerin/Rose/Shaw/Coleman/Ivanovic
KdB/Payet/Ozil/Mane/Sterling
Aguero/Vardy/Lukaku

Hell of a team compared to the bunch I have.
