Conte stays

Agreed.

Higher chance of that happening with Moses imo

Not possible

If Sarri comes in, there's a good chance Emerson becomes the left back. Just can't see Alonso playing in a front 3.

Just don't do it.

Pay .5 and get DDG.

Jones has played the most amount of games (%) when fit, and United are reportedly after another CB. Perhaps that would be the partnership.

How about Laca, Aub and Aguero to start the season?

Good one i Think

France will likely remain unchanged. Mbappe missed training due to a slight back discomfort (most likely a precaution) but L'Equipe thinks he'll start.

Fellaini starts again for Belgium. The only doubt is Meunier's replacement. The Belgian press, such as HLN, thinks Carrasco may not play due to the potential threat of Mbappe. Instead, it may be T Hazard or Vermaelen. I'd just stay away from this if you can't see the lineup.

England will be unchanged.

Vrsaljko is a strong doubt (not yet completely ruled out). Lovren and Subasic missed training today, but it is thought to be minor - they should re-join the group tomorrow.

Also Ings if he moves to another pl club like rumored

Yes - but making sure I have a decent bench in case he is rotated.

And an escape plan when he is inevitably injured.

Looks really good. Not sure about Sanchez though. Maybe Sane instead?

I like it but is Mendy nailed?

5.5

Too much.

No point getting him for any more tha 4.5 at the start of the season, but I'd expect him to be 6.0-6.5. More likely 6.0 I think. Shame we get so much time to asses if he's worth it for when his fixtures improve; would have been a nice differential from GW1

A bunch of points every week?

Is Baines worth it?

A little weak in the middle for my taste, also I would downgrade fabi to a 4.0 Siggy might be a good pick, but pre-season will tell if he is played centrally ore on the wing.

Pick players you like.

Get in Pickford, KDB and Pogba though and you are prefectly template

Courtois, Maguire, Young/Stones, KDB, Chadli/Fellaini

Think clean sheets too hard to call for a block defence. Both semis look pretty tight, probably low scoring. Think having a spread of options across the 2 semis is key so you can swap out the poor performers from the first one. So few options a lot of teams will be very similar. If you’re chasing go differential heavy and hope the goals fall to unlikely candidates!

You won’t win at this stage so just pick players you like and have fun with it

Is the play off definitely included in the game? Seems a bit odd that we get given another five transfers for the final round when it would just be same four teams as the semi’s and the tab at the top just says ‘final’?

Keep it simple. Salah (C).

Away to Newcastle I really think they could concede.

Salah by far.

What's with the Sanchez hype around these parts.. 🙄

...did you not see Sanchez under Mourinho last season...?

Sanchez, Sane, Aubameyang straight in my team, full pre-season is crucial!

Bellerin Bailly Bednarek Masuaku Gunnarson and Begovic.

Arnie as well.

Attackers are good. Only defender I'd take of those is Robertson

Without looking at the stats I think B wins here.

*ticker

That's for members only.

Aye, get Salah.

A.

Personally gone for Wilson atm

Mitrovic if he goes to Fulham could be the one.

Could be doubtful, they say Clyne looked quite sharp in the friendly at the weekend.

Unless there's injuries, probably not.

I don't think so. Players in the WC train normally so they will get a vacation even if they didn't play much.

@Berb

You think Fabinho will nail down a spot?
If so. You think he´ll be on pens?

I agree with Berbs. I also think it will be Salah.

So is he great for FPL players or not?

Can’t see him rotating left back much. Right back maybe

Nailed pool players ....

Vvd. Robertson. Fabinho. Salah. Firmino.

Mane and keita pretty much nailed too. Though Henderson performances and expected arrival of a #10 cast a little doubt

Player*

Who knows if he is regular. Fully expect united to buy a centre back and can see Limdelof getting more game time.

Wouldn't risk either personally.

I would rather have firmino aguero mkhi than zaha Silva auba. Though I think that’s 0.5 more

Zaha and Tomkins are gold! Daniels is the brown stuff. Palace could overtake Arsenal this year 😉

It's not just about them being a top 6 team though. There would be no point having 7 players from top 6 teams who don't get you any points. So then we're just saying you should get players who you think will get lots of points and that of course is common sense.

We would if it was possible
They are expenaive
Only way to get most top6 players is to have them in defence

I just realised Jota is attacking mid with 17goals last season and may be even OOP

No

What do you think/feel?

Absolutely. I have come to that conclusion when putting Mane in and trying to pick a captain!

Yes

Yes

no

No real way of knowing other than trusting your own instincts. I run a cash league and people seem to trust me even though I am a complete arse'ole.

Dont join leagues with people you dont know. And no, you they arent "people you know" if they end up scamming you.

Karius?

Robertson

Depends on the rest of your defence but both are good. I've gone for Robertson cause i have Ederson.

Robertson

Robbo... finished last year red hot
