One FPL-related question for every team next season (Thread) 💭

With a lot of transfers and adjustments to the squads yet to be made, I thought of one “way too early” question to each team regarding FPL next season...—
ARSENAL

Will Arteta start the youngsters week in, week out❓

Players like Saliba, Tierney, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli etc. will probably all be starting a lot of games. If Arteta does go for so much youth in his squad it could be a great success or a giant flop.
ASTON VILLA

Will they continue to prioritise defence and sacrifice attack❓

Before the lockdown, Aston Villa had one of the worst defences statistically in the history of the PL. After the lockdown however they were actually quite solid defensivly. With Heaton possibly...
being back soon and Douglas Luiz getting more playing time, Aston Villas defensive options could be an outside shout for next season depending on if they continue to prioritise defence over attack.
BRIGHTON

Continue with the endless rotation❓

Ever since his days in Sweden, Graham Potter has been known for his constant rotation especially in midfield and attack which is one of the reasons why Brighton MIDs and FWDs were largely irrelevant last season. Fantasy managers...
hate rotation and don’t expect that to change. Players like Lallana, Trossard and Maupay are interesting options but if they are going to continue getting rotated, the interest will disappear quickly.
BURNLEY

Start of a transition to more youth❓

Burnley has the 2nd oldest squad in the league only behind Crystal Palace with many of their starters being 30+ years old. This might be the season that Dyche starts to get more youth involved (players like Brownhill for example)
CHELSEA

Simply try and outscore the opposition❓

Bringing in Werner and Ziyech looks to be great signings but it’s obvious that it’s the defence that needs strengthening. It looks like they will try and outscore the opponent and their defensive FPL assets might not be the best
CRYSTAL PALACE

Will their horrendous form keep up❓

8 losses, 1 draw and 0 wins to end last season is a worry. If that was down to the fact that they had nothing to play for or not I have no idea but if Crystal Palace don’t spend in the transfer window it could get ugly.
EVERTON

Will they succeed during Ancelotti’s first full season❓

Ancelotti is obviously a great manager and Everton showed signs of brilliance with DCL and Richarlison both having great seasons. However after the restart they disappointed a lot of managers especially DCL...
owners who didn’t get the chances in front of goal like he used to. Can Ancelotti bring back the creative Everton that we saw before the lockdown or will they continue to struggle? That is the question
FULHAM

What will they do to try and avoid repeating their last PL campaign❓

They will probably have a different strategy this season because of the terrible results last time, keep their team and probably play a more defensive style of football than last time around I think
LEEDS

Wolves or Norwich❓

What I mean by this question is that I wonder what sort of promoted team Leeds will be like next season. Will they be like Wolves with this free-flowing attack and finish high up the table or will they be like Norwich and get relegated again?
LEICESTER

Will Maddison return back to form❓

After thinking they could even finish 2nd, Leicester finished 5th last season and I think next season a lot depends on Maddison if they want to get back to the top. Don’t really know what happened to him the 2nd half of the season.
LIVERPOOL

Fullback rotation❓

With Tsimikas signing for the club and Neco Williams breaking trough, the biggest question for me is wether or not we will see more rotation of the full-backs. One thing to have back in your mind but still not something that should scare you.
MAN CITY

Will they miss David Silva❓

Probably not will likely be the answer but you never know. Silva has been such an important part of City’s success and I think Pep has struggled to find someone that can replace him and play in that position. Could be a worry.
MAN UTD

What’s happening with the GK situation❓

De Gea keeps making mistakes. Henderson comes back from an amazing season. Rumours about Kasper Schmeichel coming in. I have no idea how they will figure this out but it will be interesting to see.
NEWCASTLE

Rely on Gayle to score❓

Joelinton really struggled in front of goal last season, ASM is a really exciting player but his end-product is lacking and the same can be said about Almiron. Will Newcastle have to rely on a player like Dwight Gayle to score their goals?
SHEFFIELD UTD

Difficult second season❓

Sheffield showed signs of slowing down since the restart but it is expected from a club without much squad depth. Question will now be if they could do it yet again and surprise people in their second season?
SOUTHAMPTON

Will they continue their form❓

Simple question, but I think that the answer might be that they will. With Che Adams starting to score alongside Ings and their defence starting to tighten up it will be interesting to see if we can find gems in FPL from the Saints
TOTTENHAM

Can they dominate against weaker sides❓

When looking at a good captaincy option for a gameweek, the first thing you look at is the fixture. With Spurs struggling against smaller sides it’s hard for me to see Kane and Son as real captaincy options. Can that change?
WEST BROM

Will they be the punchbag of the league❓

This question is similar to the Fulham one. Can they shock us all like Sheffield Utd did or will they be a team that as soon as we see them on the fixture list we will want to captain a player against them? Only time will tell
WEST HAM

The Haller/Antonio situation❓

Haller was West Ham’s all time record signing last year but hasn’t still showed us much. Instead the versatile Antonio set the league on fire after the restart and with Haller now being back after injury, what will West Ham do?
WOLVES

3-5-2 or 3-4-3❓

Wolves really struggled attackingwise after the restart and it could be down to the fact that it’s a different formation and attacking lineup every game. Should Traore play ST, RW or RWB? Should Jota play ST or LW? What to do with Podence and Neto?
