Lagos, Nigeria – Fantasy Premier League (FPL) don land again, and gists dey fly left and right as managers prepare for the new season. Everybody dey calculate how dem go take manage dem teams well before the deadline wey pass for August 15. Last season, Mohamed Salah really show say e sabi as e break record with 28 goals and 19 assists, giving him 344 points. But dis season, dem don price am at £14.5m. Na the most expensive midfielder for FPL history o! (Money no be problem for some people sha)
One of the FPL experts, Gianni, don talk say Salah go still be the main man for Liverpool, and e go worth the price tag as captain option dey extremely important for this game. Holly, another expert, no totally agree say Salah go fit deliver another season like last year, but she believe say he fit start fast and show say him dey worth the money. E never blank for gameweek one before. Na 12.25 average points him dey gather every game, plus Liverpool don upgrade dem attack for transfer window.
As for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, dem gree give dem fans some drama last season, but now wey dem don join Manchester United, people dey wonder if dem fit get same vibes. Holly dey doubtful, say dem fit struggle with the new system under Ruben Amorim, while Pras talk say Bruno Fernandes at £9m go still be the top pick among midfielders. We go see how dem blend into the Red Devils style o.
Manchester City don flex dem muscles; dem don get new players and with the famous Pep rotation, nobody really sabi who go start weekly. Na only Erling Haaland (£14m) wey everybody dey sure say go play, but other players like Omar Marmoush fit surprise us too. You fit get am for £8.5m! (Risky business, but we no go know until the season start)
The most wahala aspect of this new season na the rules wey dey change. Players fit now earn extra two points for defensive contributions! This new “DefCon” ranking go change the way wey we dey select players. Players wey dey mount serious pressure in defence don suddenly become hot cakes! (Dey don turn defenders to goal-getters now)
And wey come add more stress, managers fit now make 5 transfers before the Africa Cup of Nations. Na only this one na him go make strategizing even more juicy. So if you want make your team sweet, you fit consider two defensive moves and some reliable midfielders like Moises Caicedo (£5.5m) who fit deliver some solid points.
As we dey enter the new season, we dey see plenty more variables as dem players fit begin to adapt or falter under the new rules. The excitement go dey high and as always, managers go dey scramble for their best picks. If dem fit balance Dem Stars with some “boring” players wey fit accumulate those steady points, na im everybody go win.
So, if you still dey think wetin to do, remember say patience go take you far this season. Just make sure you click well when it come to captain picks. No be all dem flashy players go serve you well, but sometimes you go fit mix am up with reliable ones wey go hold your team together. Good luck o, and may your arrows green!
