Coventry Line up in their last friendly:

Coventry Pre-Season Keynotes:

• Thomas is most likely the preferred CB partner to Amenda, but some doubts remain about whether Kitching might take his spot or Amenda’s spot.
• Yirenkyi (5.0 Mid) looks good for DEFCON, he picked up 9 DCs and an assist in their last friendly.
• Coventry are set to sign Awoniyi from Forest and with Wright injured he could go straight in

• 4 August Ipswich 1-0 Le Havre
• 8 August Ipswich 3-0 Rayo Vallecano
• 15 August  Union Berlin 2-4 Ipswich

Ipswich Town Lineup in their last friendly:

Ipswich Town Pre-Season Keynotes:

• Dara O’Shea is expected to be a definite starter along with Diop and Davis, but if Gary O’Neil prefers to start Greaves and Diop in the CB roles, then O’Shea moves to the right back role. However, if Greaves is benched, then O’Shea starts as the CB with Furlong as the RB. If O’Shea plays in the RB role, his DEFCON appeal drops.
• O’Shea started in the RB role in their last two friendlies, and he did score a wonderful goal in their final friendly!
• Walle Egeli (£4.5m Forward) started again in their final friendly. He doesn’t look to be a long-term option, but if Ipswich don’t sign someone soon, he could be a decent BB1/BB2 option.

Ipswich Town Friendlies Summary:

• Davis ⚽⚽🅰️🅰️ (£4.0 DEF)
• Akpom ⚽⚽
• O’Shea ⚽🅰️ (£4.0 DEF)
• Clarke ⚽

Leeds United Pre-Season Keynotes:

• Rodon- Bijol- Muharemovic back 3. Justin & Bogle as wingbacks in their last friendly
• Aaronson – Wilson – DCL front 3. Stach and Ampadu in the middle. We expect a similar lineup in GW1.

• Muharemovic scored a wonderful bicycle goal in their last friendly and also looks good for DEFCONs.

Man United Lineup in their last friendly:

Man United Pre-Season Keynotes:

• Amad, Cunha, Dorgu front 3, and Mbeumo was on the bench in their final friendly, but Mbeumo’s benching is down to minutes management, and we fully expect him to start GW1.

• 2 August Sunderland 1-0 Wrexham
• 8 August Lens 4-1 Sunderland
• 8 August Lens 0-2 Sunderland
• 15 August Sunderland 2-1 Rennes

Sunderland Pre-Season Keynotes:

• Diarra was benched in their last friendly, which should make Le Fee the first-choice penalty taker.
• O’Nien (4.0 defender) once again started as CB(like in most other games) and is very likely to start GW1 as CB with manager suggesting that Alderete and Mukiele might not be fit to start GW1. But once they are back he will lose this place. So he is a good option only for early Wildcard/GW1 Bench Boost plans.
• Hume(4.5 DEF) is also likely to start as the RB to start the season as seen in the last pre-season game. He’s got two goals and an assist in pre-season having playing in Right Wing in the earlier pre-season games.
• Angulo, who is a £5.0m midfielder in FPL, also seems to be a guaranteed starter

• Richarlison has looked good in pre-season, but Spurs are linked with a move for Gakpo.
