One heck of an analysis!
I've got far too many thoughts on your analysis to know where to start! And how much knowledge do I share in my wish to reach No. 1? 😉
Dubravka who looks very likely to be Burnley's new number 1
I think he's going to out for GW1 by the looks of things.
Wan-Bissaka is arguably the only West Ham player to show any real improvement in the 24/25 season
Diouf (same price) looks like a more attacking option on the opposite flank and West Ham fans are choosing him over AWB.
Ait-Nouri, another new signing, is attracting interest. Pep's rotation and tactical shuffling makes him a bit of a high risk pick in my opinion.
Gvardiol also might be injured so if you fancy the exciting Ait-Nouri pick, it could be a winner to start the season.
Similarly, Bradley's got a knock so Frimpong also looks good for minutes. They're both fun options IMO.
Writz is also a popular pick and certainly if he can put up the kind of numbers he did in the Bundesliga last season, will be an absolute steal at £8.5mil
Interestingly, Marmoush's numbers were better than Wirtz's so that's not as obvious as the FPL community seems to think.
As for who's in my team... there's still so much that can happen in the next few days - nobody's locked in although Ait-Nouri's probably the firmest of my picks.
If Marmoush were £8mil I'd get him in my team but otherwise I feel I'm compromising elsewhere for a guy who isn’t guaranteed to start.
Ait-Nouri is certainly getting into some very advanced positions from what I’ve seen of City in the CWC and their pre-season match. I just can’t trust Pep defenders both from a rotation point of view and in conceding cheap goals.
