You also need to add in the hectic Christmas / New Year schedule. It is going to be rotation galore. Hence for me it is about trying to find the gems in clubs like Southampton, Bournemouth, West Ham etc. Particularly if they get knocked out of the EFL Cup early as they will then play every game in the PL.

''Man Utd Champions League group stage 
Liverpool Champions League play-offs''

Lol

For me next season looks as follows:
Arsenal: Depends on Alexis or his replacement. Will monitor.
Spurs: Ataack and Midfield. No defense.
Liverpool: Defence will be considered if a decent CB is bought.
Chelsea: not sure yet. Probably ignore because of the prices next season.
Man utd: defence is being monitored. Depends on rotation.

Kane Ibra and Sanchez (assuming he stays) only guys pretty much guranteed league games.

I always start every season filtering for players who are afraid of flying since that adds a certain level of confidence to their domestic nailed on ness. Haven't found anyone using that filter since Dennis Bergkamp though.

A bit early to tell but I agree Liverpool assets will suffer and City will be a rotation headache. If Aguero stays it may be all about who will threaten in Europe more, maybe him so Jesus could be nailed for league games.
I think conte will keep rotation to a minimum and play all the nailed guys in both comps, maybe rotate wingbacks if he makes the signings.
United isn't worth going there.
Arsenal could be good but is there a guarantee he'll play fringe players in the Europa? If he confirms that he will then I'm all over a defender atleast.
As some people have already mentioned, I'll be looking for gems elsewhere. I'll be keeping a particular close eye on:
Bertrand, Daniels, Begovic, Andre Ayew (maybe Jordan aswell?), King, Gray (if Mahrez leaves), Knockaert, Tommy Smith (Huddersfield)

I honestly think this will be one of the busiest transfer windows we have ever seen, with ridiculous amounts of money being spent. Not sure I see much point in planning until the dust settles.

Gonna be many tears shed over team sheets for those CL teams. Going to need a bit of luck to guess who plays when.

So Manutd finished 6th and get to play directly in group stage compared to liverpool who finished 4th and still need to plau play off? Well played Jose

Is it possible for Liverpool (or any other of them) to be knocked out of CL before the end of the transfer window.... just trying to think out of the box here.

And if there is no rotation, then injury and burnout more probable. Can imagine this with Spurs if their squad remains so thin.

Perhaps they'll be another "Leicester" emerging whilst others are distracted?

First of all - the CL and Europa qualifiers will have taken place by the time the summer transfer windows shuts on 1st September (a pet hate of mine), so we should know what PL teams' European commitments will look like as they are fine-tuning squads. Logical to assume that Liverpool and Everton will come through their play-off rounds and be in the main group stage of the CL and Europa respectively.

Chelsea - ultimately won the title at a canter and will be looking to make an impression in the CL next season. Conte is solid at the back and not big on rotation, so a nailed on Defender (perhaps Azpilicueta) should still be a reliable option. Potential re-classification of wing-backs will be interesting, particularly if Moses is far cheaper than Alonso. It's a watching brief further forward for me. And with Atletico having their transfer ban upheld, it looks like Costa will be hanging around for another year. Perhaps there will then be more PL pitch time for (title winner) Batshuayi.

Spurs - struggled in the CL this season and may find it difficult to adapt to playing at Wembley as well. I'd be interested in Tripper (assuming Walker moves on) and (like everyone else) Kane. Rotation among the midfielders likely to kick in. That puts a question mark alongside Alli and Eriksen.

City - it looks like they are going to go big in the summer transfer window and their Chairman, Mubarak, is already talking about "a Quadruple". An attacking full-back, say, Walker or Mendy, could be gold. They are going to score A LOT of goals. It depends on formation and whether Pep will play both Aguero and Jesus. One of those needed. And I'm expecting big things from KDB.

United - should improve next season and have a squad able to fight on both fronts. Plenty of rotation likely, however, with a few exceptions. Pogba should play 90 minutes each week and I fancy him to have a better second season. More information on Zlatan's return date is key. If United spend big bucks on a new Striker, say Lukaku, then I'd fancy him to bring home plenty of bacon.

Liverpool - got to back them to get through their qualifier, but then balancing PL and CL commitments will stretch their squad. Re-classifying rotation-proof Milner as a Defender could be FPL gold. And given he takes a bunch of set pieces, he might be good coverage until things settle down and we know how the land lays for Coutinho, Mane, Firmino and Lallana.

Arsenal - it all depends on how seriously they take Europa. If a second-string teams plays in that, then there should be some good options for PL. Particularly if there is an Emirates feel-good factor in light of Wenger's new deal. Sticking with 3-4-1-2 (coupled with wing-back re-classificastion) could make AOC an interesting pick. Monreal too on the opposite flank.

Everton - extremely difficult to see them breaking into that top 6, so perhaps they give Europa a real go? If so, not many of their assets immediately stand out. Particularly when their best option (Coleman) is crocked long-term.

Opening fixtures will dictate, but better value might be found around the likes of Bournemouth, Stoke, West Brom and Southampton. TM32

Top players in non CL teams may be the way to go - attacking teams like WHU, Swans, Soton, Bournemouth etc., plus defenders from the CL teams
