4-3-3/3-4-3 if RLC plays

523, though 433 possible, though every other formation still possible.

Currently exploring a 5-3-2 strategy with a rotation in the midfield.

Rotating between 442 and 352

523/532 if enough wing backs have secure spots. Otherwise 433/343

A all the way.

XA

A with defoe

B but Pedro instead of Pogba

A - by some distance

A with Defoe and Valencia over Milner and Firmino

Aa

B and B, although the second is mainly because I prefer rotating keepers.

Kane Alli Ramsey
B

Prefer Trippier but not sure if Francis is nailed. Would he be one of your starters, or just a backup defender for you?

B is steadier.

A to start off with although you may need to change Francis if he has lost his place to Adam Smith.

Isnt Francis club captain though?

Low TV. Got to get faster on those bandwagons.

Unusual
Not seen much 451

Think u need 2 decent strikers to be honest

Ignoring all of Kane, Laca, Kun/Jesus could prove risky!

Not bad. 1st time I have seen 4 5 1.
Check on Mane fitness.

Do Ramsey to Zaha and you've got a decent squad

I'm wary of going with 2 strikers in my starting 11, let alone 1.

3-5-2 looks good, maybe trade a 7 to a 5.5 bandwagon spot and get an epic back 3?

B

4.0 second GK, sorry

Good 9/10

I expect mkhi to play on the right of a front 3 or sometimes as a number 10. He'll usually be more advanced than pogba.
Pogba will only attract me if on pens.

Pogba if Matic/other DM arrives, Mkhi if not! Much prefer kaku though tbh!

Mkhi easily, more advanced, more direct output.

Mkhi, coz the other choice is Pogba.

If United sign a DM, I would go Pogba (for nailedness, set pieces and advanced role)
If they dont I would probably avoid both in the beginning and wait to see if Mhiki can assert himself as a clear starter (without being subbed early every game)

Probably 8 based on Tekkerz & Defoe

8.5 imo

Think it's looking like an 8.0. A 7.5 would be ideal as I think that's the perfect 3rd striker price, but I think he would be inline with Tekkers /Defoe at 8.0

Cheers all

Finally, some sense being spoken on here.

We need to encourage diversity. Maybe the whole "the value is in the defenders" thing is the right way.

BTW - yeah, I know the value is in the defenders, the lack of flexibility though...

Yup, if the big hitting strikers start banging in goals from the start those teams are gonna drop well behind!

Shhh

Yeah but that 1.5 over Sane can make your defence look fantastic?

A bit too deep for my liking. I'm happy with Aguero 🙂

City attacking mids will be a rotation nightmare once CL starts, so getting on KdB early before it starts might be a great idea.

Can see him in beast mode this season and perhaps low enough ownership at the start at least. Oh yeah shhhhh 😉

I concur.

KdB is my choice too.

Fun fact on KdB: he scored 199 points last year. In his first season in the Premier League, despite a terrible injury sustained versus Roberto Martinez’s Everton in late January, his output was 10 goals and 8 assists. He appeared in just 25 games according, achieving 131 points in FPL. This translates into a 5.24ppg would have seen him return, if he’d played 38 games… 199 points!

So 199 1 season and probably 199 at the ppg he was outputting the season before, and a 0.5 price drop. Seems pretty decent to me.

Do like Sane as well, so not 100% nailed on yet, but yeah I'm going the way of the ginge for now.

I'd avoid mkhi, tadic & benteke and look at zaha +1 and firmino

Good question, dunno 😆

worth avoiding first few GW

Cahill imo

Not sure how Rudiger is on the ball, but I believe Luiz is safe based on how he can distribute and dictate posession. Azpi is so reliable and will play (but as u said might take up the RWB spot).
So Cahill is probably the most vulnerable.

All too expensive for me.

Could be interesting pre season will show

I think the other little magician with the same name will prove the better pick.

The thing with B Silva is that he normally plays at right wing (or did for Monaco), drifting inside in a creative capacity.. which may mean that Walker, really gets that whole wing to himself to provide width and could get really involved going forward, with Sane/Mendy (if he joins) providing the width on the opposite flank.

Have to see how they all gel together first, but at 8.0 and if he does hit the ground running that could be mighty fine indeed.

Big price, Kompany for me, half cheaper too.

Good option. Will probably operate as a winger for the most part.

Naughton.

Naughton.

Buy both and you cover it for 8.5

Likely tomorrow

wouldnt go with DDG

Monreal too expensive now imo, he's almost sure to play as a DC rather than a LWB

Strange question

for worship?

Jesus

jesus

imo too risky without Lukaku, Aguero or Kane

My worry for Lukaku is that Man Utd don't tend to put teams to the sword like Spurs, Pool and Citeh do.

My fear is Man Utd go 2 up then Mourinho shuts up shop and is more concerned keeping it 2-0 than going out and trying to blitz 4 or 5.

Spurs really go for the jugular, they want to score 5 every game. City and Pool are similar.

This is why I prefer Kane over Luka. Kane strikes me (pun not intended) as being in a team that won't stop creating chances no matter what the score is.

Mourinho likely to kill the game if he has a lead.

Good team. Would personally do Alli - Willian in order to upgrade Tomkins/JWP/Chadli
Without pens, playing in conf.cup and wanting to leave the club, I would be cautious about Alexis too.

Id drop Forster for Foster and Yedlin for 4.0 and beef up Francis or Tomk. Other than that not bad with Sanch, Kane & Luk & scope plenty of to downgrade

cheers guys appreciate that

Technically not a triangle.
One side is circular.
So its a circular sector

Life is made up of triangles

I eat my pizza at a restaurant, on a round plate.

*Willian not KDB

Like this a lot. 8.5/10

alonso & kolas ? for me. Think Alonso overpriced and bertrand /pva would be better than kolas for first 5-6 GW

Not me, but ....

personally I don't see anyone worthwhile under 8m (or 7.5m if you rate Rooney), so either you go big and play 3 up top, or you get a 4.5 non-playing striker and invest the money elsewhere.

Fletcher...will start the first few games

Ive got Ayew but really there isn't any good cheap strikers

Gayle and fletcher on the bench (4-5-1) formation

Ayew.

Lile it tho thank lukaku over jesus

really like this

Personally I wouldn't pick two Liverpool mids. I would change mane to alli

I feel that Valencia is not worth his price tag and playing Daniels/Evans week in week out is a risk, other than that good team 8/10

Will the 4.5M mid be playing or bench? Makes all the difference.
