Griezmann in the Fantasy points again as France reach World Cup final

lose the keeper

Damn! Second keeper is just 4m fodder.

Azpi as an orthodox right back, HELLO!

If he goes back 4 then that’s a lot of wingbacks to move on and replace.

I'm gonna spend the Alonso money.

Good bye Alonso...

Alonso, Azpi, Giroud, Morata up in the air

I'm not convinced Richarlison is going to soar in price tbh. Maybe Pereyra, Deulofeu or Hughes are better options?

I like it, except Daniels.

davies to sokratis - major lol

Great team. Wouldn't you consider Robertson over Vvd?

Unbalanced, too much fodder.

I wouldn't be planning transfers tbh

Wolves apparently score goals, and Southampton apparently do not :/ No need to pick and hope 🙂

Im Norwegian so I wanted to have him in my team but unfortunately hes been overpriced by 0.5

Drop neves get cairney

If Costa starts in preseason I would go for him over neves

Interesting Bet. You got shafted.

No need for 2 top keepers. You'll not likely drop Ederson.
If you HAVE to go without liverpool Id expect to see Kun in there

You have WAY too much money tied up in defence. There is no point having Ederson and Pickford. You need to start again

Sorry but this is a really bad team IMO. If you can't have Salah then there is no excuse for not having at least an 11.0 slot for Aguero/Auba/Lukaku. This forward line will shaft you and there is no need to chuck so much £ in defence and have so much £ on the bench each week.

Your co-worker scammed you. You should be getting 2-1 with that kind of bet.

He's spent over 100m on 2 younger centre backs. I expect them to play.

You said it yourself they have 4 CBs, last season Kompany was out and Lepoitre came in summer and worked his way in, once he was up to speed Ota was rotated a lot. In saying that Stones and Kompany won’t play the first few rounds but once they’re back expect a lot of rotation

Yeah I think. Plays close to up front for national team. Few midfielders in front of him maybe though

if chelsea play 4 at the back the most likely outcome for moses is a lot of time on the bench

This wont work, if you want to make any transfers you'll have to get rid of your 4th city player first

I agree it could be decent for the first few games until rotation kicks in especially if they go big first 3 games but what does your team look like though?

Apparently he is the best thing since sliced bread though

This! My 5.0 going under the radar 😉

Depending on prices and transfers (chiefly Mitrovic) he will be my 5th mid in a 3-5-2 or 4th mid in a 3-4-3. He plays a very different role to Neves, and we play a different style to Wolves.

He looks set to take over penalty duties now that Norwood has returned to his parent club so there is that. I think that at this stage no one looks convincing in the cheap midfield bracket and so long as you are flexible enough to find the money for whoever the next Groß is I don't hate the idea of starting with Cairney.

I've had him these last 3-4 days, but I'm beginning to get flashbacks of Tom Carroll last year. Wavering.

Money...

Yeah he could - fixtures look decent. Then again he hasn't performed in the PL so far so I wouldn't get too excited.

Moses OOP striker

Can be handy to have it yeah, depends on the situation

Yep in my team. Especially if vokes doesn't look like starting

Had him in early drafts but Europa is putting me off

With those fixtures too

I think we'll all be getting Wood at some stage this season.

Guess the price?
A few say 6.5. I say 7 to 7.5

Was in the news two days ago that he was training with them.

not interested in Arnie with those fixtures. Certainly not interested in Yarm.

WHam doing some fantastic biz this summer

Liquid football coming to London Stadium if they give Pellegrini time. Carroll 20 goal season inbound.

He only joined Dortmund last year for 20 million plus, or something equally extortionate. How much must West Ham have signed him for? I doubt The Germans would have taken a bloody loss. Was Yarmalenko any good for Dortmund last year?

Son won't be available to start the season as he's playing for South Korea at the Asian games so swap him out. Otherwise not a bad side.

West Ham, perfect rotation, my current two anyway

Thoughts on Bego/Ederson?

decent attack loving the 2 lingards

Not good I’m afraid.

Son playing Asian cup so misses early season
Lukaku Lingard Stones likely to get extended break post WC
Willian not certain to even be at Chelsea

Sorry

TAA rest after WC
Same Stones and Jones
Same Lingard twice
Son away for a month
In fact you could easily have 3 players starting beginning of season!
2/10

Lol I reckon it's not impossible that 9 of that starting 11 don't start GW1..

You have two Lingards

Sorry
He is Mkhi

I'll be brutally honest.

I assume you are joking.

Son, second Lingard HAVE to go.

I'd argue against at least 5 others quite strongly. The rest I'd just disagree with.

Vardy without Mahrez?

2 from Zaha, Tosic and Arnie plus some change
Or Firmino + one of them and find 1m from elsewhere.

I'm going one premium and one 3rd tier (7m) striker and a benchie.

Is Kamara not better 4.5 FWD fodder?

Richarlison + Tosun?

Tosun Jota

So I gather you mean Arnie, who is the 6.5 Mid? Jota?

Sessegnon + Arnie?

...or siggy...or Tosun...

No one knows.

no we rejected it

No VAR here, alas.

No VAR, though last year had the lowest # of pens in many years so in all likelihood there will be a few more.

Cheers all

Cairney & 0.5m?

Fraser?

Don't get me wrong on the above. I have DSilva in my initial pick.
But once you have KDB/Sterling back with Sane and now Mahrez... jeez...

I think KdB is the best long term option for them since he was the most nailed on from last season. Really is a nightmare though!

Pep uses a bunch of systems so it'll be interesting to see but based on his prominent system last season...

1 - Pep will always use a base midfielder, last season it was Fernandinho with the occasional Gündogan cameo there. He is trying to upgrade at this position with Jorginho & Fred previously rumoured. Either way this is an irrelevant fantasy position.

2 - Pep likes to have two 'interiors' or 'free 8s'. Last year, this was primarily the roles of David Silva & de Bruyne. de Bruyne still has the 'start every week' tag but David Silva will certainly be rotated due to fitness and personal issues. Again Gündogan played there last season but Beranrdo Silva might see an increased role here.

3 - Last year we got a lot of Sterling & Sané action on the wings. With the arrival of Mahrez both will see the bench more often as I think Mahrez will be the main wide man. Why? Pep has been chasing him since January and maybe longer, even at 27yo City paid a record price. I haven't seen any Pep quotes on his role yet but this is what i'm assuming.

4 - Jesus OR Kun. I think Kun starts the year but we will see Jesus at some points, mainly in bigger game and off the bench.

Ederson;
Walker, CB, CB, Mendy;
Fernadinho/NewSigning;
D/B Silva, de Bruyne;
Mahrez/Sterling, Kun/Jesus, Sané/Sterling.

Looks like curtains for Danny Drinkwater then 😉

How many times with this BREAK today, I wonder 😀
