Weak defense, and unsure on Morata

Very nice

Think Firmino is a much better option that Morata in any circumstance

At the start I don’t see Europe being an issue fir Burnley so with their fixtures a good shout. I might dg Zaha to him for .5 elsewhere

In my current draft, planning to rotate him with Deulofeu

And you can use the hilarious "I've got Wood" joke, which is a big plus.

Slightly wary of rotation but he could be worth a try for the first few weeks. If it goes wrong easy to upgrade to Zaha or Arnie or downgrade to Reid or a Wolves/Fulham forward.

Yeah they'll play together.

Kante is too good to drop. If he played 4-4-2 with existing Chelsea players, wouldn't it be wonderful if Alonso got the left winger berth?

Also, for some reason Morata now seems a possibility.

Neither

grrrrr

Not cool and not too much..

Remove the 's

Cool name. Not cool asking if it's cool.

dont like it

like it

Looks good to me. Could start with Kun for the first couple and switch to Auba in GW3?

I like it, but tend to think you'll get more value out of turning it into a 4-4-2 and downgrading Deulofeu and upgrading Cedric or Tomkins. I'd also prefer Kamara to Quaner, but I think the structure is a good one.

TAA surely not nailed with Clynne and Gomez going to be there. I think heavy defence may be the way forward

Yeah , that's a good bid

take the money and run

o/

I was planning to, but it makes more sense to start with Aguero instead.
While Auba plays Chelsea away in GW 2, Aguero plays Huddersfield at home, and Jesus might not be back for that game.

Im hoping Laca may be an option so holding off on both. GW 3 one of them will come in

Have to watch/check the pre season games. Especially the last game or 2 to get a decent idea of probable starting formations

Yarmolenko is a winger. And I guess today or tomorrow Felipe Anderson will be a confirmed deal. He is also a winger. I guess Yarmolenko and Anderson as wings with Arnie up top. It would be crazy if Arnie will be benched for Chicharito.

Kris Jerome, please accept my friend request 🙁

Or Big AC

Jones won't play GW1, he is still in Russia.

Yep. But in gw 1 you don't want to be asking questions

Unless friendlies give more info I wouldn't risk it. Either get Smalling or go for someone nailed like Coleman or PVA.

You have weird dreams

How did Pogba get over 20 points from two goals? Your dreams are unreliable!

I really like it. Personal preference is to start the season strong at the back and let the money drift forwards when we know which defences look most promising. I'd probably downgrade Smalling and turn Stephens into a more-promising first sub (Costa, maybe? Cairney?) just to give yourself a bit of flexibility. And I had Obiang for way too long last season and, mate, just no. You could even downgrade him to a playing 4.0 with such a strong defence. And keep an eye on the pre-season form for Siggy vs Ramsey. But I really like it! Good luck.

And 6 non-playing players?

Sorry 4-5-1 not for me , 4-4-2 the only compromise given some well priced forwards this season

I think double Wolves in the early stages might be slightly risky given their mixed early fixtures. Possibly better off going Jota -> 5.5mid (for example) and then can upgrade one of the bench options to come in for Douglas when they play MUN/MCI early on.

I've put Sane in as my City mid rather than Mahrez. Think it's just pot luck with them early on so fair enough going for it.

Encouraging to see another team with Sanchez in! 😉

Different but looks strong. Don't conform to the template. 🙂

Mahrez as a fourth city only works if you don’t want to change your team all season. Otherwise it is a pain because as soon as you want to make a transfer you won’t be able to make the one you want you will have to remove a city asset

This one? It's not on the HT list for some reason

Think so , but what the hell go gut and beat the masses

I'd say so. I think 5.5 is a lot for a defender managed by someone who's known for attacking.

I don't think so. I'm on Coleman, Siggy and Wally atm. If you think they're going to score well it doesn't matter that they all play for the same club.

cheers all

2 is probably enough.

It's not about numbers, it's about players.

You think Firmino will play GW1?

Maybe but if they both rise by 0.1 then you might be jiggered.

As someone who planned way too many transfers last season & finished abysmally low OR, avoid this as much as you can!!

By that time you’ll have wanted to spend the 1.5 on someone else. Two fixtures is too short to want to have a player for me. I’d start with who you want for the first 8 or so fixtures and use all your budget at the start.

SchlOOP

Ward on the bench with Wan-Bisakka starting.

Tears for all at £4m fodders FC.

Zero.

I have 2 at the moment

2 - Robertson and Coleman

All of them actually, but I´m going with 5 at the back block defence this season

3 atm - Robertson Mendy Jones

3 or 2. Don't worry, it's not too many.

Don't worry. Last season defence-heavy teams did superbly at the start of the season. I love a strong back-line early doors and will probably end up with four at 5.5+ (along with a 4.0). I could be tempted by a downgrade to Douglas if Wolves look as good as some think they might be.

4. Value is in defense, every analysis shows this. Its dumb to use defenders as your bench fodders.

4 atm

5 including the keeper

Well thanks guys this debate has provided no help whatsoever.

5

1. Coleman

Guaita + Foster rotate nicely too in that time: BHA, bur, CPA, SOU, hud, NEW, bou, WOL, wol, HUD, new, sou, LIV, BUR

Nice find.

Man up.

I'll probably start him week in, week out. Everton should be a more attacking side under Silva so it could pay off. Thankfully only 2 of his first 10 games are against top six sides (Arsenal away in GW 6, United away in GW 10).

You should start him against everyone, especially in those first 8 games.

Yeah, I reckon he could rack up some serious points early on

the ?

A

Goal heavy especially Arsenal and Pool.

I'd get Zaha + premium - don't see the value in Valencia really - think he's a bit overpriced
