With Erling Haaland priced at £14.0m, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah at £12.5m and even Marcus Rashford at £9.0m, it's impossible to get every attacker you want in FPL.
Well-rounded teams are the secret to success in the this business and, while it's certainly feasible to scrimp and save in defence, it's perhaps not the wisest strategy.
With that in mind, Mail Sport has taken a look at the best goalkeeper and defender options ahead of Friday's GW1 deadline.
Goalkeepers
Predicting goalkeeper points can be one of the hardest aspects of FPL. As keepers pick up a point for every three shots saved, you ideally want to find a No 1 who'll both save shots and keep clean sheets regularly.
