Plenty of love from my end.

got the love just not in my team, until i see where he is likely to play

Looked at it...does not look pretty....

Did it once with a forward and a mid rotating 352/343. Never again. As soon as you're 1m short somewhere its an instant 4 point hit to unlock it from your crappy 5th mid.

Mahrez (c)

Mertesacker is the new captain.

5/10

Wow, nice frontline!

Actually looks pretty decent bar the missing player 🙂

I'd consider Eriksen to a 7.5, Townsend to Bolasie and spreading the savings in defence (and maybe upgrading Fer a little)

Need to spend more on your front line IMO.

Jones and Nsue not nailed. Fer Hojbjerg week mid.

Can downgrade 1 forward to improve defence, as clean sheets this year are going to be unpredictable, might consider more attacking defs.

Not mad on Barkley but looks good otherwise! 🙂

like it

Decent

Would Barkley + Costa > Fabregas + Lukaku not a better choice?

Really like it, especially Coutinho and Barkley, have both of them.

He's a beast in both boxes.

Highest ppg of any nailed 4.5m option.

Sunderland are normally useless at the start of a season.

Moyes lined up if Sam goes

I have Kone, plan to stick with him

Tempting imo
Prefer a 4.5 def from swansea (good coach+ keeper+ Ashley Williams) early on at least

Fixtures aren't great, but solid choice anyway if BFS stays. One thing that worries me is that their squad is pretty threadbare, so would like to see some strengthening

Nah he is just poop.

have I gone back in time 12 months?

He might just do nothing and score 2 points and stay on the bench for the remaining games...

I did have him for a bit, but replaced with Ayew.

He's more effective RW than up front anyway, so don't think gw1 is that great now after all

Best case scenario is you get 2 games before he's benched. Not worth it.

If there is even the slightest indication he might have a possibility of potentially being OOP , he would go straight into my team....

I'm with you buddy, he is in my team.

But but Zlatan. I think he'll be an inside left forward tbh

And Man Utd need cover at RB. Good spot IM

Ibra isn't sitting on the bench on those wages. And he won't go with 2 up top.

DDG
RB Smalling Bailly Shaw
CDM Pogba
Mikhitaryan Rooney Martial
Ibra

United will line up like this for the majority of the games. Rashford back up ST, not martial.

OO-OO-P

#winning

6 goals for a mid aint too bad

After moving to an easier league though.

5.5 and a decent 5th mid. I'd say he's a good finisher if in the right place and Payet is a great distributor. May be a good combination and cheap way into west ham, I'm considering him.

He has the potential to become a constant source of points with much more creation around him kpayet, lanzini)

Interested, thanks all, don't think he is for me though.

same old debate every year.

my advice is form your team without thinking of a particular week to wc. u will naturally find a time to use it.

Im planning to do the early WC, trying to play the fixtures and means i dont have to sacrifice my team to Sanchez/Payet/Pool due to poor fixtures/recovering from fitness.

I'm going for this!

I think the formation is all but certain... The 4-3-1-2 lacks width and underuses players like Redmond.
IMO puel's playing two strikers in preseason only to assess his options

I don't really know

Departure of their main creative player in Ritchie, plus rumours of Howe being involved in the Enngland set up... though despite that I'm inclined to agree with you I'd go Wilson over Gray. Though it's only a small sample size he did score 5 in 9 starts in the prem last year.

Wow. Didn't mean to hit enter. But I think Austin and J Rod will fight for the second spot. Austin better option imo. Tadic will hophully be utilized in the number 10 role. Love his creativity.

And Jay Ro? What about him?

Who will play DM then? Clasie?

Tadic will play AMC behind strikers no10 position

I think maybe 4-3-3 could work with three of these four forward 3;

J.Rod/Long - Long/Austin - Redmond/J.Rod

And what about Clasie?

Am pretty sure you will sign another DM, so it will be:

--------New DM-------
--Davis----Hojbjerg/Clasie
-------Tadic------------

3 5.5 at the moment

o/

7 x 4.5

currently have shaw at 5.5m but tempted to ditch. plenty of options from 5m and below

*Steve Bruce puts on boots*

Dear god no

Stones + Jags?

You're right.

Baines owners are caught in the past

Looks light up

Never chew on stones or friends 😉

Only Eriksen here

I have none..... yet.

i keep waiting for lamela to show up, but not sure if the EPL is his stomping ground

This.
Spurs players are still good but their confidence must have taken a beating. Doubly so for all the England players.

Yes, but Townsend could be a better option.

Unless Bolasie plays Cam doubt he will play

I certainly think so. Been in every draft of mine so far. Prefer him to the 6.5 and 6.0 strikers, so he's my 5th mid in a 3-5-2

Agreed on Townsend. Had him in some early summer templates.

IMO he might have to become Stoke's creator as players around him (Shaq, Bojan, Imbula, Affellay) are the goalscorer type...
IF stone finally manage to develop a TEAM with their names, he'd be a constant point source imo

Jakupovic...?

I commented on this earlier

quite tempted to just captain someone playing them every week

I am probably going with Mkhi, but nothing set in stone yet

B.

B. Martial - great value & OOP

Not A for starters.

I'm going with Mahrez until I see more of United.

A was the first name in my team after Aguero. One of B/C are also nailed in my team but A.

Given this is Sky this is probably old news...

Hull are in trouble, big time

Hull is in desperate shape

Vardy(C)

🙁 Such a shame. Lets hope they can pull out a Bournemouth

I couldn't give a toss about hull, I just want lenihan to start so I have a 4.0 starter on the bench lol

Just use Rooney as coverage.

What's the front 3 at the moment Andy?

Aguero and Lukaku haven't budged from mine, but it's between Ibra, Kane and a cheapie (Gray/Rhodes/Long etc) for the 3rd slot at the moment

I have Zlatan,Aguero,Hazard,Mkitaryan in mine
