PL Team PreSeason Roundup 🌐 [16/08/2026]

⏰ Arsenal 3-0 Manchester City
Big Chances: 4-1
Shots (On Target): 9 (5) - 12 (5)

⚽️ Calafiori, Havertz, Ødegaard
🅰️ Lewis-Skelly, Tzolis (x2)

📰 Arsenal XI:
Raya
White | Mosquera | Gabriel | Calafiori (Hincapié 60')
Guimarães (Rice 46') | Lewis-Skelly (Zubimendi 75')
Madueke (Saka 60') | Ødegaard (Eze 84') | Tzolis
Havertz (Gyökeres 75')

📰 Manchester City XI:
Donnarumma
Khusanov | Dias | Gvardiol | O’Reilly (Guéhi 54')
Anderson (Lewis 60') | Kovačić (González 79')
Semenyo | Foden (Cherki 60') | Doku (Grealish 46')
Haaland (Marmoush 53')

💡 FPL Note: Arsenal dominant in the Community Shield. Calafiori’s early goal + Tzolis with two assists. Havertz and Ødegaard on target. City struggled creatively despite more possession – Haaland and key assets limited impact. Strong start for Arsenal premiums. Did this match change your opinion on any players ?

Netz | Abbott (Bindon 78') | Jair Cunha | Morato (Richards 78') | Moreira
Hudson-Odoi (Hutchinson 46') | Domínguez | Schlager
Kalimuendo | Wood (Bakwa 46')

💡 FPL Note: Solid final pre-season win. Chris Wood converted a penalty and remains a reliable option. Luca Netz scored a well-worked goal (assist Domínguez). Several first-teamers given minutes before the Leeds opener next weekend.

Is going without Haaland actually madness ?

Arguments FOR starting with Haaland

•Historical early-season monster**: He has consistently delivered big returns in the first 5 gameweeks since joining City (examples quoted: 9G+1A, 7G+1A, 10G, 6G across previous seasons).
• Fixture advantage**: Excellent early run (Bournemouth home in GW1 + more favourable home games). Many say “he scores no matter the fixture”.
•Ownership risk**: Extremely high ownership (often cited around 70-75%+). Missing a big haul early tanks your rank hard and forces an early Wildcard or multiple transfers to get him in.
•Easier to get out than get in**: Most managers prefer having him from the start and downgrading later rather than chasing him after he explodes.
• One bad game doesn’t matter**: Community Shield was quiet, but people are dismissing it — “this is Haaland we’re talking about”.



Arguments AGAINST starting with Haaland
• Price is brutal (£15.5m): Forces a much weaker overall squad. You lose depth, especially for a strong Bench Boost.
• Opportunity cost is high
: Money can be spent on a better-balanced team (stronger midfield + defence). • Several managers say a “No Haaland” draft looks much more complete and allows BB GW1 or GW2 properly.
• Early Wildcard / Free Hit plan is viable**: Many are comfortable going without him for 2–4 weeks, then Free Hitting GW3 (for Coventry home) or Wild Carding GW4/5 once more data is available.
• Community Shield concern**: City looked poor and Haaland was quiet. Some are using this as confirmation to start without him and captain Bruno (or others) instead in the opening weeks.
• Flexibility**: Starting without him keeps more transfer flexibility and avoids being locked into captaining him almost every week.

✍️ Verdict : I'm starting the season WITH Haaland! but I won't be afraid to move on from him as soon as GW4/GW5

Who are the best £4.0m defenders ?

• Milan van Ewijk [COV] : 43 starts last season, 8 assists, solid DefCon (≈6.4/90). Attacking right-back with creativity.
- No DefCon potential, but high attacking upside (long throws into the box are a weapon).

• Bobby Thomas [COV] : Excellent DefCon numbers (8.5+/90), 3 goals + 4 assists last season, set-piece threat. Guaranteed starter and 90-minute man.

• Issa Diop [IPS] : Looks locked into Ipswich’s defence. Pre-season minutes (200+) support him starting.
- Great GW1 fixture (home to Sunderland, who scored only 17 away goals last season).

• Luke O’Nien [SUN] : One of the few non-promoted 4.0m options.
- Potential starter if Mukiele (£5.5m) and Alderete (£5.0m) are rested/rotated.
- Solid DefCon (6.87 per 90) + set-piece threat.
- Pure short-term / Bench Boost pick – not expected to hold the shirt long-term.

• Leif Davis [IPS] : Very attacking profile (2 goals + 4 assists last season) . Weaker DefCon than Thomas/van Ewijk but higher upside for attacking returns.
- Most attacking returns of any Ipswich player in pre-season (4).


• John Egan [HUL] : Strong DefCon (10+/90), 3 goals last season, set-piece threat. Reliable starter.


👉 Promoted clubs dominate the 4.0m bracket (Coventry & Ipswich especially).
👉 Best pure DefCon + set-piece → Bobby Thomas
👉 Best attacking 4.0m → van Ewijk or Davis
👉 Best for GW1 Bench Boost → Ipswich trio (Diop, Davis, O’Shea) thanks to home fixture vs weak Sunderland attack.
👉 Hull options are currently being avoided due to rotation and defensive fragility.

Keep your eyes on 19-year-old George Hemmings 👀

The teenager has now started Aston Villa's last three fixtures—including the UEFA Super Cup clash against PSG 🏆

If he's being trusted to step into that Morgan Rogers role, we might just be looking at the ultimate £4.5m attacking budget enabler 💎⚽️

We went from Gabriel (£8.0m) to Calafiori/White (£5.5m) to Konsa (£4.5m)

🎲 Gameweek 1 Preview: Goalscorer Odds

• Haaland vs BOU (H): 27 goals last season (15 at home). City scored heavily at home (≈2.4 goals/game). Bournemouth conceded 1.79 away.

• Isak on a mission to worsen Newcastle’s situation!

• Arsenal have a 51% chance of scoring 2+ goals vs COV (H) in GW1 (2nd only to Man City). Havertz, Saka & Tzolis are the most likely to get involved!

• Thiago vs TOT (H): 22 goals scored last season, 13 of them at home! He faces a new-look Spurs defence in GW1!

• Chelsea travel to face Fulham, who conceded only 20 home goals last season (3rd fewest). It won’t be easy for Palmer & Pedro!

• Mbeumo is Man Utd’s most in-form attacker in pre-season with 3G & 1A! He has the highest chance of scoring when Man Utd travel to face HUL (A).

How many of these do you own in your #GW1 team?
#FPL
❤12👍3🤣1
🎲 Gameweek 1 Preview: Clean Sheet Odds

• Arsenal vs COV (H): 59% chance! Best defence last season — only 27 goals conceded and 19 clean sheets (1st). At home they were elite: 11 clean sheets, just 11 goals conceded, 133 shots faced (1st) and only 14.47 xG conceded (1st). Having only 1 ARS defender may hurt your rank!

• Man City vs BOU (H): 49% chance. 16 clean sheets overall (2nd). At home: 9 clean sheets, 14 goals conceded, 169 shots faced (2nd) and 23.80 xG conceded (4th).

• Everton vs CRY (H): 33% chance. 11 clean sheets overall (joint 3rd last szn). CRY faield to score in 12 matches last szn.
