THREAD ALERT 
I know a few people are doing these but I thought Iād do a thread on players to avoid rather than buy. Iāll pick one from every team but doesnāt necessarily mean I donāt rate them as a player just not as an asset to buy at the start of the season #FPL

Arsenal
Mesut Ozil-7.0M
Donāt think many people will consider him but his current ownership is 2.3% so hoping thatās just auto picks! Only 53 points last season and didnāt play a single minute after lockdown. Not in Artetas plans and they would love to sell him. 350k a week

Aston Villa- Jota 6.0M
Honestly couldnāt believe this price when I saw it. Players like Saint-Maximin and Armstrong are cheaper, itās a no brainier. Grealish, El Ghazi and Trezeguet all above him in the pecking order and Villa will probably look to buy another winger. Avoid

Brighton- Lallana 6.5M
Iāve always liked Lallana as a player but I think he will play a little deeper than he did in his best FPL season which was for Southampton in one of the 3 behind Lambert in a 4-2-3-1. He got 178 points that season! Good player but better options out there

Burnley- Nick Pope 5.5M
Controversial one as he was the top scoring GK last season with 170 points,but this just comes down to my goalkeeping strategy really. @EricDFreeman did a great thread on why Premium Goalkeepers arenāt worth the money and I think that applies for Pope.

Chelsea- Marcus Alonso 6.0M
Easy to look back on him with nostalgia, even last season scored 100 points. However, heās regressed in points every season since his 177 point Chelsea debut season in 16/17. Chelsea looking to sign a LB, so wonāt be first choice and could even leave

Crystal Palace- Patrick Van Aanholt 5.5M
Again a potential nostalgia pick, with his best points tally 140 points in the 18/19 season but I donāt think heās worth the hefty 5.5M price. Especially, considering Ferguson is a expected to be first choice RB for 4.0M. Heartbreak

Everton- Gylfi Siggurdsson 7.0M
Bit of a theme here. Very good asset once upon a time with tallies of 181 points in 16/17 at Swansea and 182 points in 18/19 for Everton. Not sure where he fits in a two man midfield and think they desperately need CMs to compete
up the table

Fulham- Joe Bryan 5.0M
This is the classic bump in price based on the play off final. Wouldāve almost definitely come in at 4.5M if he didnāt score two goals in that game. Not a fan and think Fulham are a wait and see defensively, Hector 4.5M to be the choice if you did want one

Leicester- Kaspar Schemichel 5.5M
An easy one this one really exactly the same reasoning I gave for Pope being overpriced. Not worth the money

Leeds- Patrick Bamford 5.5M
Heās currently in 13.8% of teams and Iām quite suprised. A decent championship striker scoring 16 goals last year but has never managed to make the step up to the premier league. Think Leeds will need to buy a striker to achieve what they want to.

Liverpool- Bobby Firmino 9.5M
A fantastic footballer who I love to watch play, but it just hasnāt translated into attacking returns. 9 goals and assists last season but look at all the other āPremium strikersā. Werner for example has 28 goals and 8 assists albeit in Bundesliga

Manchester City- Ake 5.5M
Decent signing I think for City but think he has been signed as a back up option for Laporte, due to them both being left footed. I expect City to go big in the transfer market and sign a Right sided CB, potentially Koulibaly who has been linked.

Manchester United- Pogba 8.0M
On his day Pogba is a top player but I think for that value there are better options out there. Greenwood (7.5M) if he cements his place, especially if sancho doesnāt sign, is a much better option for 0.5M less. Pogba plays too deep imo.

Newcastle- Joelinton 6.0M
2 goals last season speaks for itself. Not good enough and Iām sure Newcastle are looking to sign another striker. Donāt think they can afford another season with him as their number 9. Would look at Mitrovic and Adams at that price if I had to.

Sheffield United- Lundstram 5.5M
The lord
. Was everyoneās favourite last season but heās reclassification means sadly heās no longer an option. Not even sure heās nailed on anymore, and weāve seen his minutes managed with the signing of Berge. Fairwell my sweet prince.

Southampton- Redmond 6.5M
A good player but just hasnāt been a consistent FPL asset in the past. I would listen to @SeasonKeepers new podcast with @CleanWipeoutFPL @fpldrug who are both Southampton fans who know more than I do. They mention him briefly in their 1st pod.

Tottenham Hotspur- Dele 8.0M
As a spurs fan I love dele, and hope he can get back to the heights of 18 goals 11 assists season in 16/17. Just not sure he gets back into our best side especially if mourinho favours a 4-3-3 he needs to play in the 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Wait and see atm

West Brom- Hal Robson Kanu 5.5M
Great goal against Belgium in the Euro 2016 QF for Wales, but a forward with 10 goals in the championship for 5.5M? No thank you.

West Ham- Lanzini 6.5M
Was once a fantastic player and FPL asset but since injuries hit he just hasnāt looked the same player. The man himself @sujanshah from @PlanetFPLPod is a West Ham season ticket holder and he would sell him if the chance arises, and I value his opinion

Wolves- Jota 6.5M
The final player in this thread. Reclassified as a midfielder, can be a great asset when heās in form but is a very streaky player. Has started the season slow in recent years and taken a while to get up to speed. Also has competition from Podence and Neto
