New faces to the Premier League, both on the pitch and in the dugout, come under discussion among our hot topic posters this week. There is also still plenty of chat about Euro 2016, with tournament winners, card magnets and top performers the main issues of interest. Members have also been busy gathering the best statistics so far during the tournament and with the quarter-finals now in full swing, we also catch up on the current leaders of our Euro 2016 community tournaments.

Eric Bailly has become the latest recruit to the Premier League after signing for Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. The Ivory Coast international looks to be the prime candidate to partner Chris Smalling in defence, prompting us to ask for your views on his prospects and those of the other new faces to the English top flight.
Among 2016/17’s new managerial appointments, Antonio Conte at Chelsea is attracting considerable interest, in particular among those such as Berbinho’s Forehead ,who are in search of Premier League clean sheets. Conte’s impressive management of the Italy side during Euro 2016 is giving many cause for optimism. One of his imminent new signings, Belgian international Michy Batshuayi, is also garnering attention, from Somalian among others.
With the tournament’s quarter-finals now underway, Slavic Madrista canvassed the community’s views on which country will win Euro 2016. Balders, meanwhile, has been keeping a close eye on the tournament’s suspension tightrope to highlight those players who are a booking away from missing out on a semi-final berth should their team progress. The community also gave their views on the players that are likely to make their tournament dream XI.
The Members Tables
Belgium’s attacking threat came under the watchful gaze of Camp no no’s latest table as well as the most recent statistics from Bowstring92 this week. This will also prove interesting reading for those considering drafting in the Red Devils’ key Premier League stars at the start of the 2016/17 campaign, such as Eden Hazard. Staying with Euro 2016, I’ve also tweaked my set piece specialists table to show who the tournament’s most successful corner takers and free kick takers are so far.
