I will gamble on young as united cover in defence. Same for wilson. Wilson had a poor season and still scored as much as king. I could get wood instead of king to kick the season off. I would like aguero also..

If only he was 4.5m

After he scored in preseason, he is in my radar. Was great in his previous club in Denmark, I feel Roy will give him more chances this season.

Tomkins, Cedric and one of the Everton 4.5 lads if they start centre back are the best

Daniels, Cedric, Tomkins and whichever Everton 4.5 looks most likely to start seems like good options.

Think Tomkins and Cedric are good shouts - and Dunk and Duffy represent decent value too.

Doherty for Wolves is worth considering too. Decent attacking returns last year from a wingback position - and their manager comes with a history of defensive stability.

Saints have great opening fixtures and playing 3 at the back so Cedric is WB.

Southampton under Hughes adopted such a system. Chelsea, with a change of manager, may change their system. Marco Silva had very forward full backs, I think, when he managed Watford, he may use something similar for Everton.

Wolves as well, with Saiss, Coady and Boly in a back 3.

You can argue most their players will be match fit after the world cup. That's enough considering their heavy participation

They'll have 6 warm up games before GW2. If you know what I mean.

Tell us why you've chosen these players and where you think the strengths/weaknesses are

I couldn't have miliv as a starter. Lukaku is a big no no for me, Auba and Aguero are pure quality in comparison! Don't think Bailly will be first choice, Smalling and Jones for me but it's hard to know hence why i went Valencia as united cover.

Pretty suboptimal IMO but most discussions are too long for a mobile post...

Alonso and Valencia seems too expensive to start the season off. Valencia doesn’t get many attacking points and just not sure how Chelsea will line up.

Get Menuier and Fellaini into the line up and substitute some finalists in after the playoff. Only suggestion is another keeper for the final but unfortunately they're out of your budget

Doubt Lingard will play, look knackered. Maybe out for RLC if he starts

GW1-6 = 2-3 goals or assists and 3-4 clean sheets. Enough reason? Yeh maybe I’m a little ambitious!

fixtures
new manager
low competition?

Is essentially a winger who gets in the box and can get clean-sheets.

Fixtures.

New attack-minded manager.

Lloris for me

Has to be Lloris, go heavy on France defence as I see them keeping a cleanie

Doubts about Bailly and Mahrez game time

Maguire could be due a week or two off

5.5 or 6.0

Lack of forwards? I'm happy that there is a better forward selection than last year.

No attackers from United, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea?

Most teams play 1 striker so ultimately the pool of players will always be 1/5 * midfielders.

I certainly agree with your philosophy and spread of value.

I'm not sure how many of your first choice midfielders will start the first couple of game weeks so you might need more certain budget starters on your bench.

I prefer zaha to Arnie fixture wise. I choose zaha ahead of arnie but i am a huge fan of arnie also. DSilva my only issue but he may not be an issue either if his game is still good with his baby troubles. Any news on his baby troubles??

I like it 😉
I have looked at something similar. I just don't fancy the strikers at the moment. Most due to the fact, that they need some rest after the WC. I will hand Salah the armband anyway.

Current team:
DDG
Robertson - Bertrand - Holebas - Daniels
Salah (C) - Sané - Mané - Martial
King - Zaha

(Begovic - Walcott - Coleman - Kamara)

I know my money is too spread out, but I kinda like that until I use my WC (then I can load up on pricy players and get a cheaper bench). The lineups the first few weeks will be wierd.

You need carefully picked cheap subs who at least play or have a solid chance of breaking into the side

As long as you're comfortable without Salah? If he bags a couple of braces as peoples captains you're left trailing.

Also if you're only planning up till the first int break I wouldn't go Arsenal double up with 2 of their 4 fixtures being so tough.

I'm going down a similar route, but with one 4m defender.

Yeh, I'm spending even more!

Like it, no need for Sakho tho imo. Rest of the team?

B. Mendy will be the new alonso

Been wondering about this myself

I'd stump up the extra for Alexis instead, assuming you're talking about FPL.

He is really a tempting option
I will have him after gw3 probably. May miss start of the season

Even more than last year, I think we are going to have to assume rotation is happen - and not just City.

Paying more attention to my bench this year, and taking inevitable rotation on the chin. I think he should provide significant value, even with rotation.

2018/19 - Year of the auto sub 😆

Same here. I am tempted to go with him though and have a decent bench to cover the eventual rotation. I think he can have big scores even if playing 3/4

Too many defenders I want.
Mendy coleman robertson cedric and bellerin/kolasinac after gw 2

Old Skool.

5-4-1/4-5-1 for me.

I'm most comfortable with 343 as a standard for me this season.
I may be the odd 352 or 442. I'm liking the fwd options

Not even his wife

He's got a lot to prove. Poor season, poor world cup.

Nope

What about Shaw? Rumours of him putting in the hours to get fit, and at 31 I can't see Young starting the season after being at the world cup to the end. One to watch through preseason I guess.

We'll have to see. They seem to be bringing in a bucketload of players by the day at the moment though.

Mitro could be coming in.

Both more than than likely to go abroad than move to another PL club.

Fabregas may have some involvement - new manager etc just need to see.
Mata seems to just get less and less time now.
I see him leaving also. He still wants regular 1st team football and he wont get it at united.

Neither

Very nice is stanislas is fit.
