Scout Report – Davy Klaassen

Everton followed up the signing of Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with their second major transfer of the summer when they acquired Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen for €27 million (£23.6 million).

The 24-year-old Dutch international put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Toffees, with his signing a further statement of intent from the Merseyside club ahead of the new season.

Speaking to the club’s official website about the move, Everton manager Ronald Koeman outlined some of the qualities Klaassen will bring to the squad:

“He’s a player who is only 24 but has a lot of experience and is a leader on the pitch. He has already captained Ajax for two seasons, and that shows you the type of person he is. He is hardworking, likes to press and, of course, will give us more creativity and goals.”

The History

Klaassen was recruited into the Ajax youth academy at the age of 14 and progressed all the way through to the first-team.

He made his senior debut as a substitute in a Champions League clash against Lyon in November 2011, with his Eredivisie bow coming five days later when he scored coming off the bench in a 3-0 win over NEC Nijmegen.

A serious groin injury meant that Klaassen sat out most of the 2012/13 season before he enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2013/14.

The midfielder registered 10 goals and three assists from 26 league appearances as Ajax claimed a fourth successive league title, and he also gained valuable European experience in both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

Klaassen continued his upward trajectory over the following season, producing six goals and nine assists in 30 league outings before being handed the captaincy ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.

Operating more predominantly as an attacking midfielder, Klaassen tallied an impressive 13 goals and eight assists in 31 league matches, and he continued to produce eye-catching numbers last term, racking up 14 goals and 10 assists from 33 appearances.

He was also a crucial member of the Ajax side that progressed to the final of the Europa League, producing two goals and two assists in 13 outings as the Dutch side eventually lost 2-0 to Manchester United in Stockholm.

Klaassen appeared for Holland at all age groups from U16s to U21s, scoring seven goals in 29 appearances, before making his senior debut as a substitute in a 2-0 friendly defeat to France in March 2014.

He scored his first goal for the national team in a 2-0 friendly win over Spain in March 2015 and has totalled four goals and one assist from his 14 international appearances.

The Prospects

Following a distinct lack of goals and assists from midfield last season, it is no surprise to see Koeman enter the transfer market in a bid to add some potency and creativity.

Only Ross Barkley (five) and Kevin Mirallas (four) scored more than two goals among the Toffees’ midfielders last term. The pair also led the way for assists, with 11 and eight respectively, with no other player managing more than four.

Bearing in mind Barkley’s future at the club is in serious doubt given he turned down a contract offer with just a year remaining on his current deal, the need to address this issue was even more stark.

In Klaassen Everton look to have a player who can add a further cutting edge to the side, with the Dutchman himself listing his strengths as including an ability to make late runs into the box and creating chances with through balls and key passes.

He delivered a chance every 49.2 minutes and averaged a shot every 47.5 minutes last term.

Those numbers aren’t overly impressive when comparing him with Barkley and Mirallas though, with the Englishmen creating a chance every 34.6 minutes and Mirallas producing a key pass every 48.4 minutes.

Klaassen also trails the pair for average minutes per shot, with Barkley (33) and Mirallas (33.5) both superior.

The numbers reflect the fact Mirallas and Barkley operated in more advanced midfield positions than Klaassen did for the majority of last season, but there is clear evidence that the Dutchman is a more instinctive and accomplished goalscorer.

Of Klaassen’s 14 goals last season, 12 arrived from inside the box, while 45 of his 60 attempts (75%) arrived from close range.

In contrast, just 41 of Barkley’s 80 shots were from inside the area, with Mirallas firing 29 of his 62 attempts in the box. In both cases that amounts to 46% of their total shots.

Klaassen could even end up as Everton’s first-choice penalty taker should Romelu Lukaku leave the club – he took seven of Ajax’s 16 penalties in all competitions last season, scoring five.

But with further arrivals expected at Goodison Park – Swansea City’s Gylfi Sigurdsson remains a target should Barkley leave this summer – the pecking order for all set-piece duties is still very much up for grabs.

While Klaassen’s production has been very impressive in Holland, the fact he could operate in a slightly deeper position than Barkley means he could perhaps be priced at 7.0 and 7.5 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

He could be most suited to playing as the most attack-minded central midfield player in either a 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 system, though he is also able to play in the No 10 role, where his stamina and intelligence could be put to use pressing high up the pitch.

Klaassen’s potential to provide value depends largely on who else Koeman can attract to the club prior to the season kick-off.

Regardless, Everton’s brutal opening schedule following their opening day home clash against Stoke City (mci, che, TOT, mun) means that Fantasy managers are unlikely to consider Toffees investment for their Gameweek 1 squads.

Those early fixtures provide us with the ideal opportunity to take stock of Koeman’s new-look side, with potential value on offer once their schedule eases from Gameweek six.

Klaassen offers obvious attacking promise, but with Everton’s summer recruitment still in full flow, it remains to be seen whether we’ll be provided with stronger options from the Toffees attack by the time the transfer window shuts.

    Taken a few weeks annual leave week commencing 10th July. If you haven't done the same, do you really love FPL? 🙂

    1. Je suis le chat

      Be nice to take off 3 weeks coinciding with the Tour de France and watch it all on TV.

        People really still care about that drug infested nonsense? 😕 Seriously, how can anyone still take it seriously?

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years

          I mean, we all watch football which is littered with doping soooo

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Is it? The best players are tax dodgers but non are under suspicion of drug taking as far as I'm aware 😕

            1. Somalion

              Unfortunately it is a massively under reported issue. It makes sense I guess, it is a multi billion pound industry, but yep sadly a lot of dodgy stuff goes on.

              http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/other-soccer/miguel-delaney-football-is-refusing-to-accept-it-has-a-drug-problem-34613817.html

              http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/football-rife-with-performance-enhancing-drugs-a-1139238.html

              It's funny, even when you look at some of the training regimes these guys go through, that they're doping isn't that shocking, yet it just never seems to emerge.

            2. Marknlard
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              It certainly happens. Most goals come from a mistake, most mistakes are made when a player is tired, whether that's miscontrol, losing your man, or whatever.

              If a normal team starts to fade after 70 minutes and yours can keep going til 85 before fading, well that's one hell of an advantage.

        2. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I don't take anything seriously. Just have lived for the TDF in July ever since Sean Kelly and friends from Ireland partook in the 80's. Drugs haven't bothered me too much.

          Each to their own mate, if I had a bottle of whiskey I'd pour it down the sink...

    2. Piggs Boson

      Anyone that is still browsing a fantasy football site at the end of June has already proven they really love FPL. Maybe too much 😆

  2. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I don't know if I'm imagining things but

    1) Has there been an FPL season where prices were released before the game opened?
    2) Have certain player prices ever been released before the game opened?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Be nice for them to drip feed a few players prices like they did a few years back.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not full prices but yeah I remember one year that they released a few prices before the game opened.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      There was a period where you they were releasing prices prior to the launch. Via Twitter I think.

    4. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      There was one season when FPL were making a lot of changes to their program, which delayed the FPL launch, and we were all getting rather impatient, so they released some of the prices in advance.

      But that doesn't normally happen.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        This

      2. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, I remenber that year, lots of RMT:s emerged 🙂

  3. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    FPL Scout is dropping speculative prices in their players to watch articles for some of the players.

  4. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Which defender do you prefer ?
    Valencia 6.0
    Alder 6.0
    Davies/rose 6.0
    Dani alves 6.0
    It seems very difficult to pick defenders. I've already chosen dawson and cedric

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Valencia

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Alves for me

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No point without prices but from the start, probaly Tony V.
      I'd like to see(or hear from Poch) how Spurs will treat CL.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        But, unless he doesn't get satisfactory minutes in pre-season I'll most likely picking VNL from Utd defence.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Spurs' backup fullbacks are good enough to be first teamers so I think he will rotate around CL, Internationals and big cup opponents. I'm staying away from them and looking at CBs.

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yep, a sound plan.

    4. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Alves, Valencia, and Trippier walk into my team at anything close to a reasonable price

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Poch rotates his wingbacks though, right?

        City have a defence while Kompany is fit, but how long will that last?

        Very interested in a United defender, as is everyone.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          My word GB what happened to your grav?!

              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              It's quite depressing, it was nice to have some female interaction in any form around these parts

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                I've been hit on many times over the years. It was starting to get weird.

                I attempt to change my grav away from Jenna at least once a year. I always end up going back after the backlash 😆

                1. KingNidge
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  Stop dicking around and change it back immediately mate

                2. Wild Rover
                  • 13 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  We need gifs for gravs.. The lip biting one is epic 😀

                  1. ★Kuntheman★
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 9 months ago

                    Ooh I'd have a lot of fun with gif-gravs, I'm a fan!

                3. ★Kuntheman★
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  Lmfao you're gonna have to take one for the team mate, it's impossible to recognize you without the grav 🙂

                  1. Wild Rover
                    • 13 Years
                    6 years, 9 months ago

                    He actually used to have one of Giggs originally

                    1. ★Kuntheman★
                      • 8 Years
                      6 years, 9 months ago

                      He made a good choice switching to Jenna

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Alves for the buzz

  5. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    2 seasons ago I drafted Depay and Payer in my draft league not knowing anything about how they'll perform. Klaassen gives me a similar feeling, but I really think if he's available 15th pick, I'll draft him...
    The question is, is he more likely to turn into Payet or Depay?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      The initial fixtures (gw2-5) are so bad its not worth taking a punt from the beginning

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Fair point.
        How do you rate their defence for next season?

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'm looking at getting Baines from gw6 (BOU) if he drops by 0.3 or whoever plays in Coleman's spot

          1. Lovren an elevator
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            I need to draft from the start sadly. I'm thinking Holgate should be RB surely, and if he is, I should be able to draft him in last!
            I'm torn between punting o Holgate or Tommy Smith. What you think?

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Their Europa games must be around those games as well.

  6. fancy111
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    What price do you think Tammy Abraham will be? 23 goals all from inside the penalty area should be a good strike partner with Siggy (If the latest rumour is to be believed).

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      5.5 possibly. Will he start?

      1. fancy111
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Good point. Probably not one to jump on straight away. Forgot about Llorente

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Been a massive disappointment at U21's, not all his fault. Had really poor service but never looked good when he got the ball

      1. fancy111
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Good to know. Haven't seen any of it unfortunately Definitely not one to jump on board straight away then.

    3. Lovren an elevator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Even if Llorente leaves, will he jump straight in, Ayew looked solid towards the end of the season

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't they play with two up top towards the end of last season or am I making that up?

        1. Lovren an elevator
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I thought it was 3 upfront with Ayew and Siggy out wide. I could be wrong.

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, they did.

          1. Lovren an elevator
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Ayew nailed regardless then? Or Abraham and Llorente?

            1. Somalion
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Certainly room for a bit of a shuffle, I reckon Llorente stays nailed.

        3. Ramboros

          Diamond with Ayew and Llorente up top, Fer/Ki and Carroll in the middle.

    Anyone else get frustrated by people changing gravs and/or names all the time without making obvious who they were? I'm probably still talking to people who I thought were missing in action, so often a 'newb' pops up and starts to post non stop and you know they are not new but don't know who they were previously

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That's why I like to keep it consistent. I identify everyone by their gravs more than I do by their usernames. 🙂

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Me too

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'd be willing to bet that no one would ace a quiz of FFS usernames if they were only given gravs. I'm pretty sure we all do it.

      2. Old Man

      I just zoom in and out on mine every now and then for my own amusement

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I thought that was the case! Felt like I was imagining things lmfao

  10. Ramboros
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    What do people think of Forster + 4.0 gk as the starting GK combination.

    8 of their 13 first games are at home. They don't face any of Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and City during this period. Their most difficult fixtures on paper should be MUN, liv, EVE. In all those fixtures they kept a CS this year. The other away games are against Palace, Stoke, Huddersfield and Brighton.

    Apart from the lack of back up in case something happens to Forster, I don't see a better rotation unless Fabianski + Foster both are 4.5.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd do it if he was 4.5, at 5.0 I might consider the other combo

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

    Best horror film ever? New top 100 out by respected mag (will link after to prevent cheating)

    Fire away 🙂

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I don't know if this counts, but I'd say the Sixth Sense...

      I also enjoyed Get Out, but that's also another borderline horror movie

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        However if I was to guess the best horror film apart from my preference, I'd say The Shining.

        Mostly because I hate the Exorcist 😉

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years

      2. Wild Rover

          • 8 Years

          I'm honestly surprised they even ranked, they're hardly horror movies compared to other ones

    2. KingNidge

        Wasn't Texas Chainsaw banned on British TV for ages and then Channel 4 showed it in the early 00s?

        I have a memory of going to a Man Utd game and seeing Sheringham score a chip intermingled with watching the film that night. I associate Teddy with that film.

      Jeepers Creepers is one of the best modern ones & vhr2 or whatever it's called is really good.

            Yeah I enjoyed it a lot! Something for everyone, I loved the eye implant one and the alien ones. Some of the first ones are class too.

            Grave Encounters is one of these found footage films too. Some cheap moments, because it is very low budget, but watching it in the dark with headphones on scared the bejesus out of me.

    7. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure if even on the list but some of mine are Oculus, Grave Encounters and Rec. I'm sure it will be the old staples, Texas Chainsaw, Halloween, Psycho, The Exorcist, the Omen, the Shining, Evil Dead.

      More recent ones I imagine would do well are The Conjuring, Get Out, It Follows and the Babadook even though the latter two really were only okay. The Witch was another one very popular in a similar "new" way as Get Out, I thought it was crap though. Let the Right One in another that usually does well in these lists.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Rec was good (Spanish one)

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yep itself and Rec 2 were very decent.

          Still, best take on the zombie/vampire genre for me is Stake Land. Probably not ranked with horror films, but it is excellent imo. Went very much so under the radar.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Looking at list Cabin in the woods is excellant if it's the one I think it is.
          2 dated crackers on list are Hellraiser & Dead & Buried. The latter might not be so good now but it was good at time.

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I was underwhelmed by it to be honest. I didn't understand why people wanted to be implanted into a nice body in order to be a vegetable, with the only sign of consciousness being that of their host rather than themselves

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'll admit a good deal of that was kinda dumb, but the social dynamics portrayed within the horror were so fascinating. That's what makes the movie in my eyes, simple things like the fist bump-handshake thing.

      Elm Street
      Psycho

      Silence of the Lambs

    14. bojack

      Just ones that frightened me:

      Running Man & The Shining when I was a kid

      Rosemary's Baby for the psychological aspect

      First Paranormal Activity was scary too and Rec

      And Invasion of the Bodysnatchers for a classic

      Comed/horror wise Bad Taste is fantastic.

      1. bojack

      True story.. After the censors finally ended the ban on The Exorcist, my ex wife and me were heading home from the pub pissed at 2355. As we passed the cinema we saw that they were advertising an exclusive midnight showing of The Exorcist so we decided to go for it. We got a couple of seats on the back row and settled down. Next thing I know, some guy is prodding me and I awoke to find my wife asleep on my shoulder and a sea of faces staring back at me, wondering who was snoring like a pig 😀 😳

      Omen, Shining and Halloween for me. The 1970s was golden era of horror. Of those perhaps Omen.

      American Werewolf in London another favourite.

      Among more recent ones I really liked Drag Me to Hell.

      Don't watch much horror but I went to see the original Japanese version of Ring when it came out at a local cinema in Newcastle. Didn't know much about it beforehand but it freaked me out pretty well. Good film.

          Didn't help my digestion of the film that when I was in bed that night I started recording Match of the Day as was tired and fell asleep only to be woken by the video tape reaching the end and the player making a big whirring noise and starting to rewind to the beginning.

          (And yes, I was a fancy pants who had a tv and video in my room 🙂 )

    "Klaassen could even end up as Everton’s first-choice penalty taker should Romelu Lukaku leave the club – he took seven of Ajax’s 16 penalties in all competitions last season, scoring five."

    Um, so he missed 2 of 7 penalties in the Dutch league and you think he's going to be on PK's in England.

    Really? C'mon scouts.

    I don't know how much longer I can stay awake till 4am awaiting the release of the game. Anybody want to take over?

      Would love to. But this place is so boring atm. Why not adjust your timings a bit so that we can chat regularly before the season starts.

        Let's chat then. When did you join FFS?

        1. Dreams

          Last year in November. Lurked for about 4-5 months before that. You?

          1. FPL price manipulators are …
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            About 4-5 years ago. It's funny because I stopped posting around November because there's too much traffic. I only post in the off season now

            1. Dreams
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I'm also considering the same thing. During the season, everyone behaves like pros and ask the same questions over and over.
              I used to think people come here to have fun but it's not the case apparently. I had considered quitting the site at one point but some posters are excellent here. So I just get along with the crowd.
              Are you a Brit?

                British. It used to a nice place at nice speed. You could have a decent conversation in those days. Now pages fly every 5 mins with the same content repeated over and over. Many of the old timers are no longer here. The 'community' is slowly dying. If you're an Aussie then TM is good company through the night. It's a little better then

                  Yeah the Dead Zone is deader than dead in this off season.

                  I'm not an Aussie but TM was the most helpful guy when I started off here. He doesn't give a fook these days because I irritate him most of the time by posting the same 2 or 3 things.

              Off season/beach time has been good. Minimal time on here until FPL opens is the plan.

    Do we have an annual "Predict your FPL season finish position" thread?

    No place for I hope to finish in the top 10k, and revising targets as we go through the season etc. Just one flat out brave prediction that you can lol at or pat yourself on the back for, at the end of next season.

    1. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 9 months ago

      7K

    2. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I would never do that. I'll try hard to get my prediction correct and screw up the season.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Come on now, nothing wrong with trying hard to get your prediction correct.

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'll predict a high number. Easily greater than 500k. I hope it doesn't come true.

      Last season was my first full season of playing and finished overall 4k.

      I am hoping this season I get a higher rank than the amount of minutes I put in on here. So anything under 100k will do.

      Realistically aiming for overall #1.

      1. fedolefan

        Err..no hoping/aiming etc.

      10k. Anything better is a bonus

    Nice write-up on Klaassen.

    I doubt he will take pens. He hasn't got a great record with them and ended up behind Schone, Dohlberg & Ziyech last season.

    He's more of a box-to-box mid than an attacking mid, and is best deployed in a midfield 3.

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Interesting. Was looking through penalty records a lot of yesterday - he's scored 7 of 9 taken and his 2 unsuccessful ones were at least saved rather than missed so on the face of it that's not too bad. Not stellar, but there are plenty worse who seem to be first choice at their clubs. Is he one of these players who just look likely to miss somehow?

      1. pompeyfan
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I just (perhaps wrongly) seem to remember him missing a few when I have been there.

        It could be that the misses happened recently when Bosz immediately changed the order after.

        But yeah, I don't feel as confident when he steps up.

        1. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, most of the ones he scored were early in the season and then he missed in September and February. Did score one against Schalke in April though.

          Regardless, sounds like he has the potential to be a decent FPL asset if priced nicely and he settles. Will be monitoring for sure.

          1. pompeyfan
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers.

            I remember the Schalke one! 🙂

            At 7-7.5m I would be interested if he's played in the right way.

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      Yes...one to observe to begin with. Not many cheap budget options at present are there?

      1. pompeyfan
        • 14 Years

        depends on the prices i guess 😉

      Most likely something like this:

      Salah - Firmino - Mané
      Coutinho - Can - Wijnaldum

      Henderson and Lallana will probably rotate with Can and Wijnaldum.

        If there are no more signings, then yep. But looks a top mid may be signed if possible.

        You would think so and I would agree that this is our best line up atm, but some people think Hendo plays ahead of Can

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Anyone who thinks Henderson is a better player than Can needs to watch football again. As soon as Can was fit, Klopp made him 1st choice ahead of any midfielder. The chap carried our midfield into the Champions League.

      3. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Salah would most likely play on the right with Mane switching to the left imho.

              No. At the Curzon, in Mayfair. And then again, at the Gate Cinema about ten days later.

                    I am a big fan of the movie watching of your generation.
                    The endless list of movies these days has really killed the fun for me. Add to this, the stupid vfx.

                      Very true. And a movie night was a real event, you know?

                        Yep. I'm one of the millenials who has lived through the transition and it sucks. I'd still call Titanic the best movie I've ever watched in a cinema because of the experience.
                        Comparing it to sth like BvS makes me miss those days like anything.

                  To me a theatre is somewhere with a properly designed stage(proscenium), and flats tower. Might also have a proscenium arch ... 🙂

                    The thing is most people here don't give a shit about the play theatre. So we end up calling the cinema as theatre.

      all the classic scare tactics. Wont have the same impact if you watch it for first time now as other films have used the same approach again and again

    Don't usually get involved in any of the transfer hype, but as the Chelsea fan it's hard not to get a little excited at the prospects of a Lewandowski move. Can only dream.

    How much would you predict this defence will cost?
    Foster - Myhill
    Dawson - Yoshida - Stephens - Mawson - Olsson

    1. Johqvist
      • 8 Years

      £33m

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        that's pretty uncanny

      2. Johqvist
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe £32,5m

      No, it looks about right. I would not double up on Saints defence.

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        It's a gamble I may be prepared to take, especially if they look good, in defensive terms, pre-season.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

    4. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      What do you think?
      My guess is:

      4.5 - 4.0
      5.0 - 4.5 - 4.5 - 5.0 - 5.0.

    5. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      4.5, 4.0
      5.0, 5.0, 4.5, 5.0, 4.5

      32.5

    6. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I was thinking
      5 - 4
      5 - 5 - 4.5 - 5 - 4.5

  29. Bambi

    Very bored at work so i tried to assemble a team with my prediction of prices

    4.5 keeper - 4.0
    Valencia (6.0) - Bailly (5.5) - rotating 4.5 - rotating 4.5 - 4.0 bench fodder
    Alli (10) - Mane (10) - Pedro (8) - Stanislas (5.5) - 4.5 bench fodder
    Kane (13) - Jesus (9.5) - 6.0 forward

    Prices look reasonable?

    1. goriuanx

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      with all the talk of dawson I can see him being 5.5.

    2. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Well all of them might be 5.0 (bar Yoshida?) but might still be good value, yes.
